Britain suggests it would be bet

better for the world if the taxpayers

LONDON, Dec. Great Britain
believed today that her "unanswer-
able case" for postponement of the
December war debt payment of
SOS $4,000 to the United States

There were newspaper hints of

the economic arguments in the

Ire French note, received by Sec
rotary Of state Stimson Thursday
night, was rendered 10 President
Hoover shortly before the cabinet
met today. It's basic argument was
that the Hoover moratorium. by
stopping German reparation receipts
by France, left France less able to
pay. The cabinet convened at 1890
a. m. for a study of both French
and British messages.

Stimson remained at the White
House for two hours. When he
left, shortly before noon, he was
asked when the United States
would reply to the French and
British notes.
1T may not be necessary to re-
ply" he replied.
Congressional reaction was similar
to that on publication OF the British
note and reflected determined
stand against cancellation or post

CHE hadn't the remotest conception of what
- her plan of attack might be, but she'd
think of something Meanwhile she'd keep the
old spirits up.
Uncle George strolled in. The day had be-
come rather tedious to him. since he had ar
rived at the office at the terribly early hour .;
10, hadn't been able to find any one to play
pinochle with at lunch time and had had
to forego his golf this afternoon because Of
sprained wrist.
He was needing diversion, he sat down at
Judy's desk. How are you and Tom Bingham
coming along, my dear?"
Judy wondered if the old scamp had heard
anything. Hes just about ready to sign on
the well known dotted line" she lied
Uncle George laughed. You wouldn't josh
an old man, would you Judy?"
II never joke during business hours" de-
clared Judy.
You mean you've seen him already?"
Yes. I've seen him and I've talked with
him and I'm going to talk with him again"
That's fine. Yes, that's much better than
expected. And here's luck to you" He got
up to go back to his own Office. Don't forget
dinner at my house this evening. We can talk
strategy and things like that"
That evening Uncle George introduced a
stranger to Judy, gentle old man with
twinkling blue eyes. This is Judge Wortle
my dear He sends people to jail. You'd better
look out"
Judy sat beside Judge Wortle. And she liked
that twinkle in his eyes.
1T must be fun to be a judge" she began
II should think you'd feel quite important tell
ing some one he has to spend six months in
jail
oh" laughed the man, I'm not much of a
judge. Just sort of comic opera judge. I
don't try many cases except speeding. You
see I'm justice of the peace out in Ravenwood."
"Oh," and Judy pretended to be worried.
II drove out through Ravenwood yesterday.
What if you'd caught me speeding? I might
have been in Jail this minute"
Il guess We don't catch very many Of the
speeders," said Judge Wortle.
Then Uncle Georges voice came booming
down the table, MY niece has gone in for
career" he announced. "And she has made
quite record her first day. She has almost
sold Tom Bingham. I'm proud of her."

Natural Gasoline off

THE natural gasoline industry found 1891
bad year in comparison with 1880. Natural
gasoline, as its name indicates, is made from
natural gas The yield in 1880 was 1881 $4,000
gallons, valued at $6s 1872 900. This yield was
off II per cent but the value was down AZ per
cent, which was no cause of rejoicing in the
industry.
Evening star., 1932-10-23

There were obs and abs around the table,
as Judy blushed deeply. She didn't get much
kick out of sailing under false colors. Judge
Wortle came to her rescue.
Il see Tom Bingham driving through Raven
wood nearly every day." he said Il under
stand his folks live in the country few miles
beyond. He drives big roadster, and he drives
pretty fast, too"
Judy was thoughtful for q moment. Tell
me more about your court, judge. I'm terribly
interested. I almost wish I had started out
to be judge instead of a saleswoman."
You'll have to come out and sit with me
on the bench" said the judge. Then you
can see how everything works. might even
let you decide case for me-"
Il think I'd like that" said Judy. Then
after a while, maybe I'll come cut to-
morrow"
Wortle's court in the suburb of Ravenwood was
called to order the next day at o'clock, Judy
Watkins was sitting on the platform behind the
daiS beside the old judge.
A traffic officer stepped forward, and nodded
toward a prisoner who was lounging sulleny
inside the rail Its Thomas Bingham Your
Honor. He was doing As miles an hour up
. Concord street. Step up here, Bingham
Tom Bingham faced Judge Wortle gloomily
He didn't seem to be aware of Judy's presenc,
Hmm" said the judge. What have you
to say, Mr.. Bingham"
"The oficer was right I was doing As
reckon"
Hmm" said the judge again Don't you
know you might have run into another car or
into pedestrian"
No answer from Bingham.
- And now. as if by some prearranged plan
Judy turned to Judge Wortle. Let me de-
eide this case, will .you?"
THE judge looked at her quizzically. He
] seemed to suspect some sort Of sinister mo-
tive. What would you suggest that do with
him?"
She turned to Judge Wortle. "Id send him
to Jail for two hours. He-he might have killed
somebody"
And again the judge said Hmm" He seemed
to be thinking it for a moment. Then:
Mr.. Bingham, think you'd better spend the
