"YOu will know a tree by its fruit" I"
says DIR. r. S. Stephens, optometrist,
and the people that eat the fruit
ought to be the judge of the tree.
The apple known as the eye, is a
very delicate organ. He has fitted
forty-two thousands pairs of glasses
and he has had much experience
along this line of work.
You ask the people who wear his
glasses about the fruit of his labor
and you will see him when you need
anything in his line. He can grind
any lense you may need and has a
new line of frames of all styles.
You will find him at 219 South

The disappearance of Joseph Pro- bulls, 22, of 63 Maple street, wanted by the police on the charge of rob- bery with violence, resulted today in 9 bond of $3,000 being declared for feited in city court. An appeal has been made to the authorities to insti- tute another search for the missing youth and re-arrest him. If evidence is obtained that relatives of the ac- cused are harboring him or were in- strumental in any way of encourag- ing him to vanish the state, Prose- cutting Attorney Mitchell G. Meyers plans to obtain warrants for, their arrests.
 On April 18th Probulis is accused of holding up one James Palumbo of Walnut street and at the point of gun robbing him of $57. Only a few weeks previous to this costly incident Palumbo had complained to the po- lice that someone had attempted to set fire to his home. Returning late one evening he detected the odor of smoke and going into one of the rooms of his tenement discovered that a window had been raised and that someone deliberately set fire to one of the curtains. After shoulder ing for time the blaze died out, fortunately for Palumbo. This at- tempt at incendiarism was investi- gated at the time by members of the detective bureau. They were con- vinced by the evidence obtained that someone made the effort to start a fire in Palumbo's home.

EUROPE TRYING TO PLAN SCHEME
 IN WORLD CRISIS
Thirteen Separate and Dis- tinct Plans Are Being Studied at Geneva Con- ference
BY FREDERICK KUH

:, Geneva, May 19-The European federation commission sought today to sort out 13 separate and dis 1 tinct schemes to combat the world l econnmic crisis.
 A subcommittee headed by Jos eph Motta of Switzerland studied the various projects and was ex- pected to submit a report tomorrow
 recommending procedure and practi- cal proposals on the plans. The proposals, all designed to elim-
 mate the growing stress of economic warfare among the nations of the
 world, formed maze of ideas through which the commission hoped l eventually to formulate scheme suitable to all countries represented. l Appointment of the sub-commit- tee was a result of adoption of a
 resolution submitted by Arthur Hen-
 derson, British foreign secretary.
 Henderson appealed to add nations ! to cease their economic madness and the folly of economic national | ism which are checking forces which | could improve out lot"
 Henderson, who has taken a lead- ling role during the deliberations of the commission this week. described what he called Europe's general paralysis with poverty and starva- I ton while corn bins in Europe and
 abroad are bursting with food that | cannot be sold."
 The British secretary demanded that Europe break this vicious circle
 of disaster"
 | Henderson depicted the paradox | ical situation of inter-allied debts
 and war reparations under which
 "the principal creditor countries re-
 fuse to accept goods with which the debtors must pay and insist on pay-
 ment in gold" He said this attitude
 was plunging the agricultural coun-
 tries into bankruptcy while indus trial nations were immersed in un- | employment. A reduction of tariffs and elimination of trade restrictions
 as methods of overcoming this sit- | uation were suggested by Hender- | son.
 The 1S plans to end the economic crisis will be sorted out in an effort to find one on which the commission
 can agree. The French, led by Aris- | tide Briand, foreign minister, favor a general European economic feder- ation, while Germany and Austria
 favor regional tariff agreements such
 as the proposed Austro-G
 "Anschluss," or union, looking to the same eventual end.
 The effort by Germany to force
 the conference to consider limita- tion of trained reserves and to re-
 duce conscript armies and military
 material stocks failed before the combined opposition of Aristide Briand, French foreign minister.
 August Zaleski, Polish foreign min- ister, Dino Grandi, Italian foreign
 minister. and the representatives of
 Japan and Jugoslavia.
 Germany vainly insisted once more that the tables which the various
 governments will furnish the confer
 ence should include full information on armaments.

TALKATIVE. JOE CAHILL ARRIVES
 IN NEW YORK
And Joe Is Very Wr0th Over Somebody's Start ing Up Dude Ranches in the East
BY H. ALLEN SMITH


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, May 20.-(UP).-That highly effervescent word -slinger from the broad open spaces, T. Joe Cahill of Cheyenne arrived on his favorite stamping ground to-day with blood in his eye.
 For years on end T. Joe has been phrase-maker for the Dude Ranch CTS association and for years he has been fighting the good fight to inviegle customers into going west in the summertime.

 "Well. mosey along to Manhat- tan and when I get here I go into erative. They tell me that I am cor rect in my information. and that whats more, that is not the half of it. Some other irresponsible bozo is starting a Dude Ranch up in Vest chester county. Boys, give up! Sit here with me and try to imagine Legs Diamond on the upper deck of a. bucking hoss. And try to picture Ichabod Crane branding a calf in Sleepy Hollow. Or somebody hawgty- ing heifer on the Jersey mud fiat. I am on the verge of taking some umbrage!"
 But for all his irritation. T. Joe couldn't make up his mind what to do about 1t.

It just can't be done! It's not in the cards! And 1t gives me a sick headache"
 T. Joe sat and fumed and the room was silent save for an oc- casional snort. T. Joe drummed on the table with his hand and scraped the floor with the rowels of his spurs. Then a light came into his eye. He stood up.
 Boys, I've got it." he said. eff the east want to start to muscle in on us, we'll muscle right back.
