COURT TO HEAR
TRIAL OF L0EW
.Torrid Testimony of Blond
French Beauty Features

BBUHifed Pres

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. April 5-Persons
fortunate enough TO understand
French rushed a Supreme Court
room today TO hear further torrid
details Of the alleged romance Of
Arthur r. Loew, millionaire theatre
cal magnate, and beautiful Colette
Francois a23. Parisienne.
Miss Francois says Mr.. Loew is
the father of her 4-year-old daugh-
ter. She seeks 100000 damages for
breach OF promise.
The details as recited yesterday
BY the blond Colette and her mother,
Suzanne, who is the wife Of Paris
municipal official, we're quite torrid
when translated into English, but
persons familiar with French sale
they lost much when deprived of the
Gallo infection and vocabulary.
Big-eyed. blond and composed,
Colette said Mr.. Loew lured her to
his Paris hotel suite on the promise
he would make her a movie star
another Jean Harlow" He made
her sit by a window. First he looked
at her full-faced, then profile. He
explained that many girls, quite
beautiful full face, we're not so much
much to look at in profile The
inspection over. Mr.. LOew an
nounced. she said, that he would be
known on the screen as Colette De
Paris.
Then Mr.. Loew sent for brandy,
she said She took two sips and
thereafter remembered little. When
her memory returned. she said, she
was in Mr.. LoeW'S bed.
Mrs. Francois testified that Mr..
EoeW met her and her daughter
while all we're passengers on a
Mediterranean cruise in 1880. Mr..
LOew crashed a woman's party
aboard, she said, danced with Co
lette and got her telephone number.
In Paris a few months later, he
made use Of the number.
Mr.. Loew's attorney, Nathan Bur-
Kan, aroused many Gallo Shrugs
when he sought admissions that
Colette was fond of other gentle
men. Vest, mama said. Colette had
a chaperon present. Yes, she had
danced with men, but always with
several men friends, but what girl
hasn't?

"The world is looking eagerly to-

Germany has no need to occupy
Danzig by force, because natural
laws impose themselves"

Definition of a Gentleman

If someone were to ask you what
your idea of a gentleman is would
you say he is one who doesn't have
to work for a living or one who is
and spotless? Well, this is not so.
A grimy, overalled, greasy truck
driver or even bricklayer can be
a gentleman.
A gentleman is one who is clean
mentally and morally; who neither
4oks up to the rich nor down on
the poor. If a man is considerate
of women, children and old people,
he may be called a gentleman no
matter what his work is. Another
thing which makes a man a gentle
man is the fact that he is too brave
TO lie, too generous to cheat and
too sensible to waste his time.

TEMPERANCE TALKS
By Lucy Smith Guseman
Clayton, Delaware

We often hear people say that
alcohol and gasoline will not mix.
But they do mix, as never before.
They mix arms and legs with wind
shields, steering gears, doors and
wheels. They mix pedestrians up
with the occupants of cars. In
fact alcohol mixes up everything
with which it comes in contact. It
slows the action of the brain, i'm
pairs the judgement, dims the vi
sion, weakens resistance to disease,
blunts the senses, consumes the
strength of the body, and destroys
the moral and the spiritual life of
man. Alcohol is the greatest de-
ceiver the world has ever known
and the Christian who takes no
stand against it is failing to help
his weaker brother A change of
name does not alter the nature Of
alcohol. Complete destruction is
the only remedy for its evil effects.
It also shuts men out of the King
dom of God for no drunkard shall
enter therein.

People

We are continually meeting diff
ferent types Of people having di-
verse personalities, characteristics,
ideas and customs. There are ex-
traverts and introverts. The extro-
vert is one whose acts, emotions
and mental processes are infiu-
enced by external conditions rather
than by introspection. This type
of person is not satisfied to live by
habitually directing his attention
toward his own mind and body, but
rather by deriving his ideas, habits,
and knowledge from association
with other people. He is not con-
tent to be alone to think, as most
all of us do at times, but is ag-
gressive and on the go.
On the other hand, the introvert
directs his attention to his own
feelings, emotions, and symptoms.
He is content with procuring his
knowledge through extensive
thought and meditation, by being
R1one. Association with people is
not appealing to the introvert per-

Fatty, the Football Captain

Fatty was the son of a rather
wealthy man, who in his childhood
had often been in want of candy.
He had resolved that if he ever had
a son he would give him all the
candy the boy wanted. Thus Fat
ty had always had all the candy he
could eat regardless Of his health.
In fact F'atty's father kept a box
in every room Of their home. Be
cause of all this candy and not
enough proper foods, Fatty grew
unbelievably fat as his name inn
plies. This excess fat was not the
only drawback. He had many de-
cayed teeth and had to visit his
dentist quite often
Now Fatty's hearts desire was
to be able to play football. And so
when his dentist advised him to
give up candy, he did so after some
consideration. His dentist told
him to drink orange juice once or
twice a day and always to eat
Itlil lOl lulASuE3 dbd III OtNWCti
meals. Fatty was advised to eat
many vegetables and to eat only
one piece of candy after lunch and
dinner.
These thing Fatty did with little
distaste, and a wonderful change
took place. Fatty grew thinner,
and his tooth decay lessened. He
was also made captain of the
school football team and took an
active part in this game when he
entered college.
After this he was again called
Henry, which was his real name.

John Adams


Last month we celebrated the two
hundred anniversary of John
Adams, second president of the
United States and one of the most
distinguished diplomats. John
Adams was born in Quincy, Massa-
chusetts, October 10, 1875.
T his great man received the
best education to be had in his
time. After graduating from Har-
ward College at the age of twenty,
he studied law. The fact he was
well known for his active work in
politics and his patriotism, caused
him to be sent as a member to the
Continental Congress which drew
up the Declaration of Independ-
ence.
Adams's name appears many
times in history, in connection with
important events. In the Treaty
of Paris, it was the work of John
Adams who got for the U. S. the
right to fish off the coast of New
foundland, a right worth millions
of dollars to the people of U. S.
Due to his personality, faith in
the future of his country, faith in
the honesty of his countrymen, and
his own good sense, Adams was
successful in borrowing from Hol-
land 100000 and performed 9th
er useful duties to his country.
Adams was vice president dur
ing Washington's administration
and became second president of the
u. S. 1t was then he upheld the
dignity of the country in the So
called x. Y. T. affair.
In 1900 he left his Office and
went to his home in Quincy, Mass,
where he died in 1926 on July 4,
fifty years after signing the Dec
laration of Independence.

Halloween

Why do we celebrate Halloween :?
What is the origin of this festival {?
These are questions that we ask
ourselves or someone else while we
are preparing a striking costume.
This holiday has a far from
sanity founding. It's celebration
is associated with ancient pagan
rites and customs just as most
Christian festivals. History shows
that the ancient Druids made this
night an occasion for carrying on
the widest of actions. The super
stition believed in by many is that
this is the one night in the year
during which ghosts and witches
wonder abroad. This is largely
based on the old Druidical rites.
In old Rome, at the harvest sea
son, Halloween is celebrated as the
festival of Pomona. This appears
to be more like the Halloween of
today. This also explains the var
ious impersonated spirits and dis
guised figures.

On Sam Johnson's Marriage

! On Sam Johnson's Marriage
Tetty was the most nearly ideal
iof her sex in the opinion of John
son. She was old enough to have
been his mother, and fond Of at
tracing attention. From her ready
acceptance of Johnson's proposal it
may be supposed that she would
have accepted any other proposal
as quickly. She was short and fat,
and applied i'll chosen makeup
freely. Nor did she choose clothes
to her advantage, though perhaps
they did suit her personality. They
were gaudy, ill-fitting, and over
done in style. However, for a rea-
son not obvious to most of us,
johnson married this Tetty, and
continued to love her until her
death. This marriage, being a sue
cuessful one, is not to be ridiculed
by Macaulay or any other writer.
Johnson's success as a writer and
as husband is rare combination.
