TO SAVE Ab|T

~ AHbNEAs8ekVMml GCWB GEEVACG
DENVER, March 2O.-The color
ful cowboy Of years ago who used
to make periodic visits to the city
in search of pleasure has disap-
peared. In his place has come the
modern cowboy, not SO colorful, but
canny and wary Of the city slicker.
OF old, the cowboy or ranch
hand would put his entire worldly
fortune in his pocket. place a six
gun on his hip and make his way
to the city to "shoot up the town.. =
1t was q rare exception If this
same cowboy ever returned TO his
country lair with single cent in
his pocket. and the gun usually
saw action also.
Nowadays. the gun is left behind,
and money spending is more
cautious.
Recently zone of these modern
cowboys appeared one day at the
money order desk of d local tele.
graph office and explained that he
was going to party that night
and that it probably would be a
little rough. He wanted to make
sure that ne would have enough
money left to return home the next
day. The clerk advised him to buy
a money order payable to himself,
and return for it the next day
Since then the fashion has spread.

SOVIET REBUFF
PREDICTED
At GENEVA
--rn.eFna.IonaI NewsresI rhoto.

GENEVA. March 20.--virtually
universal forecast was made here
TODAY that the United States win
disregard the plea OF Maxim Lit
yinoff for American support Of the
soviets' proposals for worldwide dis
armament by land, sea and air
within the next four years.
Hugh 8. Gibson, chairman Of the
American delegation attending the
League of Nations preparatory dis
armament commission meeting, re-
manned silent. It is not even cer.s
tain that the Soviet appeal was
teIegraphed to the State Depart
ment at Washington.
The attitude OF Chairman Gibson
is that the role Of the Americans
here is that of observers.
He feels that, while Secretary Of
State Kellogg is engaged in delicate
diplomatic negotiations with the
great powers for a treaty to outlaw
war. ii would be unwise to make
any move in Geneva which might
embarrass the State Department.
So far the Soviet Union. Germany,
and Turkey have stood together in
the conferences here. OF these
three nations Germany is the only
one that is a member Of the League
OF Nations
The United, States regards the
universal disarmament proposals
Of the Soviet governments delegates
at Geneva as ''impracticable and
visionary" 1t was indicated at the
State Department today.
State Department officials, while
declining TO comment officially. in
the absence Of any official report
from the American observers at
Geneva on the Soviet proposals,
made it clear that this Government
was attempting to negotiate arbitra-
ton treaties with other powers,
which is regarded by the depart
ment as a practicable" anti-war
project.
