Their negotiations left open yesterday by
i the conference Of experts on PREPARATIONS
would provide way to prevent dis
bandment few days hence.
Preparation of report to the gov
ernments concerned occupied subcom-
mittee composed of the chiefs of the
national delegations. Although tech
nically this subcommittee might find the
means necessary to a compromise in the
course of its labors. few held it possible
and the tendency was to conclude the
work in best possible shape with the
least possible delay.
One of the delegations even-the jap
anese--had, it was understood, arranged
passage for home.
Attitude Of Schacht.
This situation might be altered In

man. His position, however. remained

The possibility was advanced here
that DR.. Schacht might not even re-
main with the subcommittee drafting
the report to the governments until 1t
had finished its work. Some regarded
the German cabinets continuation of
his freedom OF action at their confer
ence last Sunday as not an expression
of confidence, as first appeared.
1t was said that on the contrary it
represented knowledge of the cabinet
that no agreement with the creditor

an effort to pass the blame for failure

There are several ways town can boom other
than by building lot Of houses and business
blocks. community revival is not necessarily pre-
dicated upon the selling of lots
town can boom when there is a new apprecia-
tion of it's and possibilities on the part of
it's citizens.
town can boom when there is shown more
cooperative spirit to boost.
town can boom when it's forces of education,
culture and morality bear fruit in well-doing.
town can boom when business is placed upon
fair level of competition, when greater service is
rendered the consumers, and more thorough meth.
od is used to establish greater patronage.
town can boom when there is more neghbor-
llness, more get-togther meetings, more genuine
friendship backed up by action.
town can boom when it becomes cleaner in
physical aspect; when paint, soap rake, broom and
mop are applied literally
town can boom when motorists are more care
full and courteous and when there is more devoted
attitude shown toward law and order generally.
town can boom when it's youth are given op-
portunity for wholesome expression of the instincts
common to them, and when adequate facilities are
provided for the direction of their talents and am
bitions.
town can boom when it's institutions are SUD-
ported and when it's people consciously active to
prove their loyalty to home trade and home business
There are many more ways town can boom

bath.

plunge must be taken to the Monument Scalding
