Monsieur Smeeth' Wins

cause He IS Humble

Everyone in Europe is
talking American politics
is the report brought back
by Miss Vera Bloom, daugh-
fer of Representative and
Mrs. . Sol Bloom, Of New
York, who, with her parents,
has recently returned from
Europe.
"Of course, they all know
Of Hoover from the war,
continues Miss Bloom, but,
in Paris, especially, they all
want to know about Mon
sieur Smeeth because they
hear that he is humble,
which sounds to the French
very much like light wines
and beer, and which, If set
to music, would sound like
T want to be happy, but /
can be happy till / know
you're happy too-oo.
In Rome
Representative Bloom went to
Rome early in May to attend
the international Copyright Con-
ference being appointed the
American delegate by President
Coolidge and Mrs. Bloom and
Vera went along to keep him
company"
After the convention was over

and were in Paris for several
days. They were entertained at
luncheon at the American Enl-
bassy BY Ambassador Herrick

this country.
