 This action will be taken, MT. Gel ger states, to remove the responsl- bility off the shoulders of individuals, who may or may not continue the work of perpetuating competition m the sport here. The initial commit tee, which he contends was chosen on the "spur of the moment, is now extinct, it's duties having been con- Cluded with the tournament. Just when the first meeting of players and followers will be called is not known, although it is thought that it will be called within week.
 MT. Geiger, in speaking of the tournament just passed, said: "The cooperation and substantial assist ance rendered by Karl A. Reiche of the local schools, the high school au- thorities, Fuller F. Barnes, who loaned the tennis courts upon which the greater number of matches were played, Harry Russell of J. R. Mitchell and Sons, Peter Cawley of the Bristol Hardware company, E. L.. Morin, local jeweler, each of whom donated silver loving cups, and Har- ry Cook, who donated tennis shoes for the winner of the consolation tournament, made the tournament possible. I, speaking for the com mittee in general, extend a sincere vote to all of them"

SECRET DRINKERS
 HIT BY WO0DC0CK
Prohibition Director Promises to Pry on Fashionable lmbiber

Boston, Sept. 16.-(UP)-The secret drinker will one day have the attention of trained investigators di- rected toward him, according to Major Amos w. Woodcock, national prohibition director, who confessed last night that he had no way of knowing how effective prohibition might be.
 He addressed an audience of $50 at Ford hall under auspices of the law enforcement league.
 Private drinking, he said, "be- comes largely matter of public opinion" After urging his listeners to "create a sentiment" against the practice he said he thought it pos sble to cope effectively with the activities of commercial violators of the law. After these had been eliminated, he promised, his men would seek to stamp out the private drinker.
 We will meet these some other time" he said, referring to fashion able" imbibers. T don't know whether we will meet with entire success or not but I believe in my heart it is possible to drive out the liquor traffic.
 Woodcock referred to prohibition as the great adventure" He ad- mitted he does not know how ef- fective prohibition is but said a sur vey was being made by the prohlbl- ton bureau to determine the point.

AT THE EMBASSY

Contrary to the popular theatrical custom of casting to type" the First National and Vitaphone drama Scarlet Pages" presents two lead ing actresses in unusual roles, there by giving them exceptional oppor- tunities for creative work.
 Elsie Ferguson, who during her several years absence from the screen has found a new stardom on the New York stage, has hitherto been known as an extremely femi- nine type. Tall, light and slender, she is best remembered for woman ly, wistful portrayals, such as her Nora in Ibsen's The Dolls House." In Scarlet Pages" she plays the part of an efficient, highly successful criminal lawyer, deftly coping with masculine minds in pleading her cases before the bar.
 Tiny Marian Nixon, one of the screens daintiest actresses, also plays a less sympathetic type than is customary to her, although through the influence of love the characters of both women become softened as the drama reaches it's climax.
 The capability with which Miss Ferguson and Miss Nixon handle their roles evidences a versatility which is said to open up wider scope for each in her profession Scarlet Pages" comes to the Elm bassy for three days starting tomor. row.

UnapproYed Monument Raises Question Between France, U. s.
BY AIINOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, Sept. 16 "A curious and distressing Franco-American inci- dent" has arisen over the desire of the United States Battle Monu- ments Commission. headed by Gen. eral John J. Pershing, for the re- moval of the 36lst Infantry Regi- ment monument in Sivry-sur- Mouse, near Verdun.
 This memorial was erected against the wishes of the Battle Monuments Commission and re- gently conversation have been held between General Pershing and Premier Andre Tardieu, who is also minister of the interior, as to what disposition can be made of it.
 The problem of this monument is very delicate one for the French, and General Pershing has refused to comment upon it be- cause he does not wish to add to discussion which would be- come embarrassing.
 Required Groups Sanction
 
 Under an agreement reached be- tween the two countries some years ago, no monuments to Amer ican military achievements would be erected Tn France without ap- proval of the Battle Monuments Commission. The idea was to avoid the prospect of having r. erected by individual units.
 When the 361st Infantry Regi- ment of the A. E. F. proposed te erect a monument at Sirvy-sur. Mouse, the Battle Monuments Commission vetoed the scheme passing it's opposition on the fun. damental policy that monument:

We Believe In The United States

Christmas business for 1929 was as good as year
BEFORE according to reports from every part of the
country Merchants had expected decline OF 10 or ~
percent People who make it their business to anayze
economic forces say that reason why people did
not cut down on their Christmas shopping after the
Wall Street slump because the Presidents bust
ness conference in Washington had restored public
confidence in the soundness of the Nations industries
and treasured the timid ones
If that is true, it is a good augury for the new
year The Presidents purpose in calling business lead
ers to disclose their plans for the future and in urging
Governors and Congress to accelerate the spending
Of public funds for roads, waterways, buildings and
other public works. was the hope that the responses
would prove so encouraging to alay fear for the
future. That turned out to be the case.
Mr. Hoover recognized the truth of Woodrow
Wilson's famous statement that good times and bad
times are usually the result of the mental attitude OF
the crowd Business of today understand that. 1t
the mass of the people believes that things going
to go WE'LL and proves that belief by spending money
as freely as ever, then things do go we'll. If the ma
ority is timd and hesitant about purchases and in
vestments, things go badly and we have hard times.
The year 1890 has hardly begun, but already the
outlook seems brighter than it looked a couple of
months ago. The public has realized more completely
and speedily than had been hoped that the United
States is still moving steadily toward it's destiny,
which is that of nation in which neither poverty
suffering shall befa the least Of it's citizens
cept as the individual himself so wills it.

with an inquiring mind succeeded
in sending a signal across the At

beginning of radio. Everybody

has accomplished since then. but
here is more to come.

FOOD

Long Island ships dressed ducks
TO California. California sends
turkeys to New York. Florida ships
trainloads of celery to the North
and Jacksonville stores sell Cali
fornia celery. New Jersey raises
strawberries, onions, cabbages, but
Jersey suburban housewives buy
them from grocers who in turn buy
them from New York City whole
salers.
The Federal Farm Board should
find ways to eliminate these round
about methods of food distribution,
with their expensive freight charges
and profits to half a dozen middle
men. The food supplies of big cities
will some day be grown in regions
adjacent to the cities. 1t will be
cheaper to grow winter vegetables
1nder quartz glass in electrically
heated hothouses than to haul them
across a continent.
BUILDING
The last stand of the hand worker
against the machine is in the build
ing trades. Building costs are ex-
cessive all over the country and are
still mounting. Wages go UP with
out corresponding increase in pro-
ductiveness. In the mechanized in
dustries higher wages reflect higher
production.
1t is perfectly possible to erect
houses OF any size out of standard
lied, maciline-produced elements,
which any unskilled workman can
put together under competent direc-
tom. Plastering is unnecessary;
many wallboards on the market are
better and more economical, Paint
ing can be done more efficiently and
cheaper by spraying.
Some day some group of capital
lists will finance building project
which will utilize engineering skill
and mechanical processes as the
automobile industry does. Then
homes will be so cheap that every
family can own one exactly fitted

Beautifying The Roadside

The next step in highway improvement will be
to make the roads more attractive. The first and
most important object of road improvement is OF
course to make it easier to get from one place to
another But after that is done attention ought to be
given to the Identification of the roadside.
Several states have begun this work. In Massa-
chusetts all new relocated roads are made wide
enough to provide for belt of shade trees on each
side and trees and shrubs planted by the State
nursery Connecticut has State landscape division
which not only plants trees but lays out flower gar
dens at appropriate intervals along State roads, In
California trees have been planted along 685 miles of
highway and the lands adjacent to State roads have
been surveyed for the purpose of planning ways to
make them attractive. Delaware, Illinois, Geor-
gia, Missouri, Wisconsin and Kentucky are all making
beginning toward similar highway Identification in
some instances with the cooperation of local civic
bodies and womens clubs For years the women's
clubs of Florida have been planting flowers along the
roads.
Under an amendment to the Federal-ad act, pas
sed in 1923, Government funds may be used in part
for such purposes on Federal-aid roads.
There is to this than simply protest
against ugliness. People who live ON them not only
take pride in them but get more for their build
ing Sites Towns which the tourist approaches through
archng trees and bowers of flowers gain reputation
and business thereby.
Europe is always ahead of America in roadside
improvement Not only are it's highways generally
tree-ined but in regions fruit and nut trees are
planted the harvest from which is sold to provide
funds for road maintenance That is an economy
which might not operate so well in America but there
is nothing but time to prevent us from making every
road beautiful.
