/ when she hit 20 years.
The propaganda of the past ten years,
which devoted itself first to making all
brunettes "yamps," and then to making
all nght-haired women "gold-diggers,
had not touched this sensible, breezy
creature.
Jones noted with approval that she
was definitely Of the fashioned"
type of girl. despite her overcolored
lips, and somewhat overdone cheeks. If
she got q husband some day who didn't
like 'em, she would be the first one to
tone them down. Good for her!
~
Templeton Jones, it may be seen,
placed the stamp of his approval upon
this girl from his back seat observation
post.
She talked with animation, but not
too much of 1t. Too much animation
becomes tiresome to ones fellow travel
ers in the seat behind
The girl started to light up, too. but
found her fancy Lighter" would not
live up to its name. With well-bred
impatience she struck the flint time
and time again, while her companions
for she knew the other girls-laughed
merrily.
Pretty soon she began to tell about
her brother, how he had just taken his
masters degree, how he had written
book, but it wasn't published yet. and
so on.
Templeton Jones listened because
there wasn't anything else to do, and
because he couldn't help hearing.
xx
Occasionally the young lady would
turn her head and give Jones look
out of slightly upturned eyes, and If
he hadn't been Jones, himself, he might
have thought the youngster was trying
to f1irt with him.
Being Templeton Jones, he thought
no such things. but realized completely
that she was simply a natural young
woman. who was interested in life. and
wanted to know just who that was in
the back seat, by his very position be-
ing part of the party. in sense, but
not a part Of it, either
Jones liked the young lady's looks.
She was definitely up-to-date. but had
an air about her of old-fashioned times
and persons. which gave a zest to her
speech and appearance.
Jones wondered If there perhaps
weren't more Of this type of young
woman in America than popular imag-
ination believed. at least the popular
imagination of several years ago seemed
to believe.
No doubt the young girls had not
been ''panned" so much during the past
few years Maybe 1t was the depression,
maybe it was world excitement, what
ever it was the days of the ''flapper"
criticism were gone, and it was good
thing.
The amusing part of this incident of
the every day?
That has yet to come. when Jones
and the young lady run rapidly from
bus TO street car, in transferring from
one to another.
The girl took a seat about half way
forward
Templeton Jones in accordance with
daily custom. walked completely for
ward. and sat down on side seat. No,
the old rascal was not looking at the
girl He had forgotten all about her.
His block came. and he arose, stand
ing at the front door.
Looking back he saw a friend of his
seated Immediately behind the young
lady.
The friend waved hand in silent
greeting Immediately back of the young
womans head.
Jones raised his own right hand, and
smiled a greeting In return.
Then he saw the girls eyes and real
lied that she thought he was waving at
her. Poor, definitely middle-aged

Franco-German Arms.

Evidently the French and German
governments believe that while there
is talk there is hope. On that theory
they are continuing what for some time
has seemed to the outside world an
utterly hopeless effort-diplomatic ex-
changes designed to find a basis Of
agreement for disarmament, or, rather,
as far as the Germans are concerned,
for rearmament.
Berlin has Just sent Paris a new
note on the subject. While it is de-
scribed as negative on nearly every
point brought forward by France, it is
considered as leaving the door open for
further negotiations The tone OF the
German reply throughout is courteous"
and "conciliatory," Paris dispatches re-
port.
Concretely. the Reich asks for an
army of 100000 men instead of the
zoe. 900 proposed in the Macdonald
plan. though willing that the larger
force shall have defensive weapons
only and thug not be as formidably
equipped as the 100000 men now per-
mitted Germany under the Versailles
treaty. The general German contention
u that even If the Reich Is granted
an army triple the size of the Versailles
quota and the right to use some small
tanks and aircraft, she will still be
surrounded by countries so much more
powerfully armed than herself that the
Germans could not possibly be in posi-
tion to embark upon aggressive war
fare.
The fly in the ointment Of negotia-
tlons for Franco-G German arms agree
ment is the lurking French suspicion
that behind official figures Of German
army strength are the serried ranks
of the Nazis' unofficial army-the
Hitler Storm Troops, Steel Helmets
and other quasi military organizations
drilled, trained and, according to the
French. ready for battle, though never
admitted by the Berlin government to
be troops that come within the scope
Of disarmament discussions Germany,
on her part, wants to know to what
extent Frances great army Of African
colonial troops enters into the picture
and how the French plan to utilize it
IN case of a European conflict.
Both Paris and Berlin are apparently
anxious to reach private agreement
between themselves before the sadly
disiointed Geneva Disarmament Con-
ference pulls itself together for another
trial of it's enfeebled strength later In
the year.
As long as the line of communlca-
tions between the Quai dOrsay and the
Wilhelmstrasse remains open, there will
at least be lingering hope that the
two governments, after all, may reach
an accord. The new year has opened
with acrimony. suspicion and strife
omnipresent in Europe. A Franco
German arms accord In such an atmos-
phere would be blessing and boon.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Templeton Jones, definitely middle.
aged. and aware of it as only the mid
dle-aged can be, smiled to himself al
the recollection Of comical incident
Jones was glad he had q sense OF
humor, gladder for it every day of his
life.
A funny bone," he thought, was q
sort of relief valve. 1t kept q man from
getting the swell head" and q lot ol
other things.
A sense of humor helped smooth over
the rougher spots Of life, popped up the
daily news in an amazing fashion, and
gave one real sense of proportion.
One could not be quite as big a fool,
If one had q good funny bone"
Fortunately a loud. boisterous "hav
haw" was not at all necessary; indeed
some Of the men with the keenest sense
of humor he had ever known were not
given to laughing at all
They most often smiled. but not al
ways that. DRY humor" sort Of chaps

of true wit, always able to see the

privilege of which he seldom availed
himself, because he seldom had q
match.
Jones had long ago progressed from
matches to lighters, and back to
matches again.
The only trouble with matches was
that one seldom had one when desired.
Ones friends demanded 'em so often!
Temp Jones. therefore. was unable
to smoke. tTo let the dear reader in
on the absolute truth. Jones didn't have
a cigarette. either. He was pretending
to be pipe smoker. at this time, and
seldom carried them)
Seating themselves in front of Mr.
Jones, the two young ladies lit their
flags" as the English call them. They
lit them In the most well-bred manner
possible. with gloves on. and all
Jones wondered how 1t would feel to
smoke in gloves. Somehow it didn't
seem the thing
He wondered even more how 1t must
feel to smoke through lipstick.
That nice red smear left on the Gig
arctic paper-did it taste as funny as
it looked?
Or was it all taste. on the principle
of the Indian who, asked If he were not
cold, replied that he was all face?

Templeton Jones didn't know. but he
didn't believe he would like to smoke
through such a layer
The young ladies puffed away, in that
provokingly placid way of young lady
smokers.
Jones wondered If they really liked
to smoke.
Most of 'em seemed to be looking
around, just a little bit, to see if any
one were noticing them
Making sure of It. as 1t were.
Jones got the rebound of the smoke.
Curious. was it not. how human beings
insisted on pouring their breath all over

notice it, but when 1t became permeated
with onions. for instance, we'll, that was
something else.
One who watched the eddying Gig
arctic smoke had to realize that every
iota of it came out of human mouth,
probably out of human lungs. Prob
ably 1t was a good thing after all that
there was little nicotine in cigarette

dered about it. that was all.
At this juncture in the journey home
