RUBBER MONOPOLY
 COSTLY ID U. 5. A.
Tire Users Forced to Pay
 Millions, Hoover Says

Washington, Jan. 20.-tR1The American consumer of tires has lost millions of dollars annually a. a re- suit of the British rubber monopoly. Secretary Hoover told the House judiciary committee yesterday in in- dorsing a bill to permit the forma- ton of American trade associations to make collective purchase of raw materials controlled by foreign na- tions.
 The reduction in rubber produc- tion by the British keeps the world dangerously near a buying panic. the commerce secretary said, and at times has lifted the price of the product beyond reason.
 Mir. Hoover appeared before the committee tn connection with the bill introduced by Representative Newton. republican. Minnesota, which amends the Webb Pomerene export trading act and k designed especially to permit collective pur- chasing by American combines of rubber, potash and sisal. which are under monopoly control by foreign countries.

DIPLOMACY URGED
 0N YOUNGER MEN
Youths AdTkod to Consider
 Diplomatic Posts

New York. Jan. 20 (UP) - New ideas in the management of the United States diplomatic service and new opportunities for would-be American diplomats for the future were suggested by Myron T. Herrick, United States ambassador to France, in an interview with the United Press just before he sailed to re- sume his service in Paris.
 Sought out by governors, leaders high in the councils of both politi- cal parties and by newspapermen, the ambassador chose to omit dis cussion of international affairs but to dwell instead on Improvements made in the American diplomatic service and encouragement of men who follow that service as a life career. His only set speech was made at the Union League club on the i've of his departure and in this. as we'll as in his interview, he spoke of the establishment of the American service on plane which makes it the equal of older nations and those which long have regarded this work as of prime national importance.
 College men of the future in American schools will come more and more to realize the appeal of the diplomatic service aS a life work" said the ambasaador. '"rhey will know that the United States government is encouraging them in their efforts to serve the country in diplomatic and consular posts. Even yet 1t Is difficult for young men to maintain their positions in the service as they should. due to the financial problem. But the United States government has made great strides forward in this matter and 1t is quite possible that in the future man of even limited resources may go high in the work of our embassies and consulates."
 Ambassador Herrick's remedy for the housing problem of the Ameri- can embassy in Paris. a problem similar to those which other Amer ican ambassadors have met in many parts of the world due to lack of funds from the home govern ment.. caused him to receive consid- erable comment both at home and abroad. When francs were low he bought, and as . consequence the present American embassy in Paris. . structure valued at ap- proximately t1.000.000. cost the U. s. government less than one third that sum. The ambassador with other American diplomats. has long encouraged expenditures for the U. s. service which would put it on g. par with those of the other great nations of the world, and along with these expenditures q decrease in the political importance of a dispomatic post.
 The importance of the foreign diplomatic service of the United States." said the ambassador, "of our diplomatic and consular service, should be realized by every patriotic citizen. It is through our diplomatic representatives that we employ sys- tematically and continuously. that is, in tho only effective way. the re- sources of peace.

Park, Jan. 20.-LNNLost kisses were appraised at 10000 francs re- gently by French courts. Such dam- ages were awarded Madame Marie Laparcerie. writer of note. upon a showing that she was unable for months to kiss her children because her lip. injured in an automobile &C., cident pained her too much when she tried to bestow the maternal kiss.
 Madame Laparcerie lost her suit in the lower courts when her claim was based on . scar on her breast that she felt would prevent her from wearing low cut evening gowns. The "kias" plea on her appeal. moved the court and she won her case.

New Britain herald., 1928-01-20

I am glad to say that in recent years there has been a new spirit in our foreign service. This is due to the fact that the service has been better organized and equipped"
 Referring to appropriations for new embassies and attention paid the salaries of American diplomats. the ambassador said that the service thus had been made more attractive to men who by temperament, ability and training are specially fitted for a diplomatic career"
 You cannot get and keep quali- fled men in the foreign service," he said, "unless you offer career with opportunity to receive the recogni- tion and to achieve the distinction which proved fidelity and trained ability deserve"

MOTOR BOATING IS
 GREAT U. 5. SPORT.
This Is Reflected in Exhibits t New York ShoV

New YOrk, Jan. 20.-(UP)-A step through the doors of tho Grand Central Palace today became . stride into . new dimension of American sport and pleasure. as we'll as a revelation of tho hold motor boating has taken on Amer ica.
 The 23rd national Motorboat show has proved to be the largest dry land regatta in history and. to the surprise even of its backers, has TO- quired nearly as much spacs for showing 1928 models as did the re- cent record.breaktng automobile show.
 Scores of motorboats are on dis play. Some are nearly as big as battleships and some nearly as small as chaise Dngue. Some are stubby and aftable and some have . breath- les sweep of swelling curve from stem to stern. 4 few are much more costly than . Rolls Royce and others are less expensive than . pre-Lind- bergh Ford.
 Standardized production has over- taken the motorboat industry and pulled 1t down from | millionaires' plaything and up from . crank's hobby into an irresistible temptation for the average man.
 Clyde Fitch's famous motorboat, whose cratic pranks made half the nation laugh IS years ago. has little more in common with the present crop than the original Wright brothers plane with the Spirit of St. Louis
 One single accessory among the many at the motorboat show gives the key to the amazing new status of motorboating. It is m electric anchor. Press . button-plop! and you are anchored. Press another but ton-b-r-rr! and your anchor is automatically slowed away and lock- ed securely to the deck.
 Anyone who has ever hauled up an anchor will appreciate that this invention can only be compared to that of selfstarters for automobiles.
 The largest motorboat in the show is a 62-foot Elco cruiser, complete in every detail and very nice craft in which to drop down to Miami. From this size the cruising boats range down to 23.foot cruiser equipped with two outboard motors.
 Almost within a twelvemonth. by the way. the whole attitude toward outboard motors has changed. Im- provements have made the out boards no longer merely . substi- tute for oars but q dependable means of fast water travel. Nearly 1000 outboard boats were raced during 1927. Ninety-three outboard boatp are on display at this years show. including hydroplane and decked models.
 The cruising boats though, are the backbons of motorboating and the center of attraction. They may be divided into three classes-the mod erately slow, low-priced. single cabin outfits: tho somewhat larger, and cruisers capable of IF to 20 miles an hour: and the express cruiser type with speeds in excess of 50 miles an hour.
 Among the runabouts is one stock model of medium price capable of 55 miles an hour.
