Howdy, folks:
Everyone is always glad to read
what our prominent citizens have
to say, so I decided to interview
MRS. BLANCHE MASON. Mrs.
Mason is assistant head resident
of the Phyllis Wheatley House, di-
rector of its Glee club, and an ar
fist of acknowledged ability. I
know her answers will be of in
terest to you. Here they are:
1. Where were you born? Ans.
Glasgow, Mo. .. .... ..
2. Which is easier to rear, a boy
or a girl? Ans. Neither one is
hard if given the proper training
from babyhood. ...
8. Do you like the styles of the
"gay nineties" or the mannish
type of suits we have today? Ans.
The "gay nineties" women were
over-dressed; today they are too
mannishly attired.
4. What interests you most in
life? Ans. Music, needle art, and
motherhood.
5. Do you think the younger peo-
pie of our group have greater OPP
portunity for success in the North
or the South? Ans. In the South.
6. What's your favorite radio
program? Ans. Ford Symphony
Hour and Fisk Singers.
z. If you could spend year
travelling, where would you like to
go? Ans. I would board a ship
and take a cruise to most of the
European countries, especially Rus
STA, France, and Ethiopia.
8. What qualities do you admire
in man? Ans. Courtesy and sin
cerity. g..
9. What do you do in your spare
time? Ans. Rehearse my music
and make artful things. with the
needle.
10. If you had one wish, what
would it be? Ans. That my chill
dren could have the proper educa-
tional qualifications to enable
them to make some contribution to
the race.
IL. What do you think of flirty
husbands? Ans. They are all
right, ''poor dears." Some of them
never grow up when it comes to
women, but they are always glad
to know that WHEY is waiting for
them. So there is always a right
one. "Selfish Brutes." !
There were quite a few couples
at Peggy's Tavern the other eve
ming. Everybody was learning
how to truck. ANNETTE HAT
TON has got it down pat now, the
same by ANDY CLARK and
JOHNNIE McHIE. Someone told
Sal that to truck, all you have to
do is do the shim-sham-shimmy
sideways and shake your hand in
the air. Well, the next morning I
was showing my dad how well /
trucked, and he pops up and says,
"Umph, if you ask me, you look
like you've got the epilepsy or
something" Pm insulked. NO
more truckin' for me. CHAR
LIE UKKERD was in the booth
right around the corner from us,
and as usual he was with another
girl. Say, Charlie, what are you,
the "love 'em and the leave 'en"
kind? -. Everyone is crazy about
that new song "ToRMENTED."
1t sort Of appeals to you or some
thlng like that. =. EARL SHAM

Scribed as AL over the place." French
francs for delivery in . months time
were quoted at . discount Of Z francs
to the pound sterling, while those for
three months delivery were 10 francs
per pound lower than the spot rate.
For immediate delivery the rate was
1887 francs to the pound.
Other currencies Of the continental
gold bloc moved erratically as the
franc fiuctuated. Operations Of. the
British equalization fund were gem

Intervention has been applied solely
and wholly to the detriment to the
lawful Government and to the ad-
vantage Of the rebels" said Del Vayo.
In the first Of series Of speeches
from the floor, Eden painted . pes
simistic picture Of the international
political situation. but asserted.
There need be no fatal seeds Of wal" I"
He acknowledged, however, there
was no room for complacency, since
rival forms Of government are 'hurl-
ing defiance at each other"
Diplomats at the League session
were urged by the British Foreign
Minister to support the international
organization to make the League
machinery operative.
Eden called attention to suggestions
Of regional pacts Of mutual security
advanced as proposals to strengthen
the Leagues influence, particularly
in Europe. These treaties. he de-
clared. would aid in strengthening
general security against war;.
Policy to Continue.
The British diplomat affirmed his
country's "unswerving fidelity" in the
League, and said Great Britain's poll
icy would continue to be based on
the League covenant.
Eden pledged British support to IN.
ternational limitation of armaments
and free discussion on the question
Of revision of treaties. He also urged
formation of . conference of experts
to discuss making raw materials avail
able to all countries.
In . suggestion which observers
interpreted as designed to please Ger
many. the British diplomat recon-
mended separation Of the League Cow
enant from postwar peace treaties.
He asked his listeners whether ma.
tions really wished to establish ma.
chinery for the settlement of disputes
without resort to war and answered
his own question thus:
If there Is . will for this 1t can
be done. It must be done. Other
wise there Is the final calamity which
Il drift toward war" Edens recon-
mendations for freer discussion of
treaty revision evoked unfavorable
comments In League Hobbies from
Little Entente circles.
