PRESIDENT ENTERTAINS

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The
White House has reached the half

This fantasy all comes about be-
cause of a drawing in the office Of
A. c. Sallee, superintendent of parks,
and because men in Sallee's employ
ment are clearing away underbrush
along Fall creek.
TIME drawing was made by a
H. North Side artist at the behest
of civic leaders. 1t shows Fall creek,
the Immaculate. with walks wind
ing in and out the course Of its re-
tanning walls. It shows gondolas
and gondoliers on the creek. No
sand bars thumb noses at you.
We're doing preliminary work
now like cleaning out underbrush.
Some of the unemployed men We
took on are aiding in the work." ex-
planned Sallee.
eve hope, if funds will permit, to
obtain some dredging machinery
and clear out sand-bars. But it'll be
up to drainage district to make
what looks like dream now a
reality in four or five years" Sallee
declared.
Embryo plans for the beautifi-
cation project as outlined to Sallee
by North Side residents call for a
dam west of Capitol avenue, re-
Mobilization work on all the retain
Ing walls, an average depth of ten
feet for the entire creek-bed from
Capitol avenue to Thirty-eighth
street.
mo estimates have been made as
to the cost of turning the creek into
a beauty spot" says Sallee.
Il
Ut will be possible for boats to go
Ifron White river into the creek
in nayigable water at all times of
the year if the project materializes.
I know OF one Los Angeles company
that has electric boats that could
be used on the creek. They're non
sinkable and run on a push-button.
A child could operate one without
fear of being capsized,' Sallee as
serted.
The park superintendent admit
ted that revamping the creek would
turn it from lovers purgatory to
paradise.
ITS possible to rid the creek not
only of its stencil but also of its
mosquitoes and then indianapolis
will have little Venice in the heart
of the CITY," he concluded.

The Copper Situation

j. B. Tenny, Mining Engineer, Arizona Bureau
of Mines, has issued analysis of the world copper
situation which enlightening Space limitations will
not permit the publication of the analysis in full in
these columns but of the pertinent facts he has
brought out understandable to the layman without
all the figures he has presented to prove his points
Without the copper tariff both the average and
the high costs mines in the United States must close
down permanently. With moderate tariff, the mod
crate cost mines continue to operate, and that will
include most of the mines in the United States.
At the same time, the big low cost copper mines
of South America and Africa can continue operation
and with normal increase in the consumption of cop
per, by 1941 world consumption will equal the maxi
mum production Of all mines now in existence.
Without that tariff most of the mines in the
United States must close permanently, and the unem-
ployment situation will be greatly aggravated through
thousands upon thousands of miners being forced to
seek employment in other lines of work---The
Williams News.

Someone has wisely said
that genius knows no obstac-
les. 1t requires a touch of
adversely to show the real
stuff in a man. Even the
weak vascillating character
can slip along when every
thing is fair sailing. It re-
quires genuine courage to re-
main unwhipped and keep
on fighting when it seems
that everything has gone
against us. The man who
has learned to look the
world in the face and smile

courage under the lash of
misfortune and adversely has
learned one of life's most

GIANT PALM IS
MOVED TO PHOENIX

A tall stately palm, rising
some forty feet in the air and
extending its roots far down
into the earth on the rear of
the A. C. Baldwin lot, was
removed from its place of
growth on Monday to be
transplanted in Phoenix to
replace one of similar height
that died.
The palm had grown into
the telephone wires along
the alley, causing some
trouble. The telephone COM
pany had been given permis-
sion by the Baldwins to re-
move the tree.
Wishing a tree to replace
a transplanted one that died,
and hearing of the tall one
at Baldwins, a Phoenix resi-
dent readily made plans to
secure the palm.
The entire morning was
required to dig the tree and
l0au ! for removal to Phoe-
adler Arizonan.

A SHORT SIGHTED POLICY

Advertising keeps goods
moving, inspires confidence,
creates or augments good
will. But in order to accom-
plish these beneficent results
advertising must strike the
public consciousness unre-
mittingly: Any abrupt hia-
tus-any extended absence
of the advertisers message
may be disastrous. | am pro-
foundly convinced therefore
that any reduction of adver-
tising in times of depression,
with the idea of cutting
down expenses, is a mistaken
and short-sighted policy,
likely to defeat its ostensible
purpose.-Dr. julius Klein,

Be helpful if you would
have friends, not necessarily
in a material way or in a
matter of service, but in
manner and spirit. There is
scarcely a human being that
does not treasure the society
of another who is helpful,
cheerful, optimistic, strong

cheerfulness. Every life has
enough shadows of its own,
and is seeking sunshine from

ROGERS CALDWELL !,
MAY LOSE HIS HOME
Former Stenographer Says
Deed to PaIatiaI Residence
Was Part of Bank Assets.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. February 10
Rogers Caldwell, the banker who has
lost his bank and the horseman who
has lost his horses, stood in danger to-
day of losing his $500, 900 paIatial home
outside of Nashville as a legislative in
vestigating committee started inquiry
into the deed of Brentwood Hall.
The first witness today was Miss
Helen Cecilia Baker, who said she was
a former stenographer in the Offices Of
Caldwell e. Co. and the Bank Of Ten
nessee and that during her employment
from February, 1928, to July. 1880. she
had the custody of deed to Brentwood
Hail. made out to the Bank of Tennes-
see. Il kept the deed in a voucher
holding the banks real estate assets, ="
she explained.
She said in the Spring of 1880 she
showed the deed to bank examiners and
could not explain how the deed listed
then as assets for the Bank of TepneS-
see was not listed among the banks as
sets in the following September, as she
left the employment of the concern in
July.
The committee claims that Brent
wood Hall should be thrown into the
assets of the Bank of Tennessee and be
used to liqllidate claims OF the State for
large State funds carried down with the
banks collapse.

British government he fully approved
Accepts Principle.
1T would not be reasonable or even
honorable" he continued ito consider
the American Army as a reservoir from
which we can draw. 1t is to our advan-
tage to have a powerful American Army
as soon as possible to fight beside us,
and as head of the British government
l accept the principle. However, at
present we are engaged in what is per-
hapS the decisive battle or the war. II
we lose this battle, We shall need tom
mage to take home what there is left
Of the British and American aEmies.
What Is our best hope of winning
this battle?
The decisive months will perhaps be
those of September, October, perhaps
later If the American Army cOtlld in
tervene at that time it would suit US
all. I have no reason TO believe that
these two opinions are incompatible, but
we should not wait until the end of May
10 decide, for questions of tonnage are
involved which we must go into now"
He proposed that the question of
continuing the May program into June
be held in allegiance two weeks. He
then brought up the question of the
use of slower ships for troops. and
thought 10000 or 10000 might be
miral Sims and / had already pressed
that point with the Government
Mr.. Lloyd George calculated that the
British would be able to transport $780,
900 per month as a maximum, and
that We could bring over 10000 to 50,-
900, which would allow us to include
the auxiliary services required to COM
plete our divisions and organize our
own Army. But he asked that priority
in embarkation be given the infantry
and machine-gun units.
FOch for American Army
approved this request up to- six d.
visions, and stated that toward the end
of May we could decide whether the
program was to be continued into June.
Then Gen. Foch announced that he,
too, favored the formation of an Ameri-
can Army.
Nobody Is more for the constitution
of national American Army than t.
he said. ''for know how much more
an army Is worth when fighting under
its own commander and under its own
flag. But now the needs are immedi-
ate: there Is battle to be won or a
battle to be lost. I ask for the con-
tinuation of the May program.
Gen. Pershing asks that We trans
port the elements necessary for the
constitution Of his Army. I am told
that the tonnage will allow this: all the
better but in two weeks we shall all be
dispersed, so we ought to decide today
to continue in June what was decided
on for May. I ask Lord Miner as well
as Gen. Pershing, to join me after the
meeting to sign an agreement
Replying that I was glad to hear
Gen. Foch express himself so strongly
in favor of an American Army and

that month arrives. In May, m ;act
either of our two armies may be hard
pressed That is the one which should
be reinforced. 1t is not desirable now
to decide how troops arriving in June
should be allotted"
To this Foch replied:
1T is undeniable that the British
Army is now exhausted; SO let 1t receive
immediate reinforcementS in May
But lately the French have had grave
losses, notably at Montdidier, and both
during the last few days have been
fighting shoulder to shoulder. So
American aid is now needed almost as
much for France as for Great Britain.
Above this question of aid to the
French or to the British Is aid to the
allies.
I'VE are agreed that the American
Army is to reinforce the British Army
at once; in June We, too shall need in
fantry and machine-gun units. So let
us make the agreement for June at
once by saying the same shipment Of
infantry and machine guns as for May.
If there is tonnage available, we shall
devote it after that to the elements
necessary for filling up the American
divisions. I am sure that Gen. Per-
shing, with his generosity and his breadth
of view, will grant the fairness of this
view and will extend for June the
agreement decided upon for May"
Whereupon Mr.. Lloyd George gave
support to the principle, saying that
British recruits would not be available
until August and he understood 1t was
the same for France, when both would
be able TO furnish their own recruits. He
then asked that the May program be
extended over June, in which M.
Clemenceau joined.
Insists on Own Army.
In reply, I said:
IT do not suppose that we are to I'M
derstand that the American Army is to
be entirely at the disposal Of the French
and British commands"
NJ. Clemenceau said that of course
this was not the intention.
Continuing, I said
Speaking for my Government and
myself, must insist upon our intention
to have our own Army. The principle OF
unity of command must prevail in our
Army. 1t must be complete under its
own command. I should like to have
a date fixed when this will be realized.
should like to make It clear that all
American troops are not to be with
the British, as there are five divisions
with the French now and there will be
two more in a short time.
las to the extension of the May
agreement to June, am not prepared
to accept it. The troops arriving in
June will not be available for the front
before the end of July or the middle of
August. So we have the whole month
of May ahead before deciding whether
an emergency is likely to arise in June
have explained TO Lord Miner and
Gen. Foch why do not wish to commit
the American Army so long in advance.
II need be, shall recommend the ex-
tension into June. can see no reason
for it now"
Mr. Lloyd George spoke again. and
said that as a representative OF the
