 No sooner had Finot arrived in Bolivia, however, than he became an ardent inilitarist, stifsened Do. livia's position ct the Chaco peace conference table. One of his first acts, also, was to discharge his assistant, Enrique do Lozada, the man who had helped him out of the hole when he had to find Q senatorial spokesman.
 Diplomacy
 Dc Loxada was q. charged on the ground that he was too paci- flstic. He had been opposed to tho. bloody war with Bolivia. This happened just the other day.
 In his place, Finot appointed George dc la Barra, Q former member of the Bolivian legation in Washington. The appointment was made because do 10 4arra had served in the Bolivian army. He had served three months.
 He had been mixed up in some liquor sales during his pre-. vious stay In Washington in prohibition days. Also he had been an agent for . munitions firm selling arms Co South American countries. So the state department indicated to Foreign Minister Flnot that the new secretary of the Bolivia del. egation would not be particuarly welcome.
 But dc 10 Barre had been . card partner of the new pres. ident of Bolivia during the brief interval he was in the army, 90 Finot insisted upon the appoint. ment. De Losada, the man who hsd really helped Bolivia, but believed in peace, was fired.

The return of pr. William L. Higgins, congressman from the second district de- feated this year, to private practice is quite an occasion. Dr. Higgins has been In public life now for many years starting with the Legislature, then the office of Secretary of State, next Congress. Now it's private life. But we can't forget that In his legislative days he was more re- sponsible for what later became our dirt road bill. He'll be always remembered for this.

And there have been visits after

agrees. is most entertaining, but,
somewhat firing and hard on the
following day. At her home in

o'clock, except when some absorb

the old classics, and more serious

her favorites, but every now and

with a bit Of mystery or nonsense.
Likes to Write
In the second year Of college,
Elisa is taking up chemistry, three
languages, various histories and
economics and creative writing.
Remarkable young person, she has
been writing short stories for some
time, and only before she left
Manila had the opportunity to join
the staff of a well known maya
zine.
One of her hobbies is her aqua
rum. She has upwards of so fish
fighting fish, rainbow fish, skele-
ton ashland numerous types
found in tropical waters. These
she loves watching and caring for,
and when they become too many,
she divides them among her
friends. Her only pet is Brownie,
a quick little foxterrier, which al
most came on the long journey
here. But, considering it all, it
seemed advisable to heed her
younger brothers pleadingS and

PLEA T0PRES|DENT.
FAILS LAME GIRL.
ParaIyzed, She Still Expects
Roosevelt to Fill Bar
gain Somehow.
Nv the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 20.-A
disappointed, lame little girl, for nine
years a sufferer from infantile paraly-
sis, sat in her nodes home today
wondering If she would ever get her
chance to run and play like other
girls"
But plucky 15-year-old Dorothy
Porter kept smiling, despite her dis
appointment and the tears that came
Saturday, when she learned the
Warm Springs Foundation, in which
President Roosevelt is interested, had
rejected her application for treatment.
Still confident, she said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would help her get to
Warm Springs somehow" Dorothy
declared: why. we shook hands and
he promised"
Waited in Cold.
It was a wintry night last February
when President Roosevelt and Dorothy
shook hands. The President was
here for a reunion with old class
mates at Harvard Colleges Fly Club.
Dorothy waited outside in the cold
for the President Then he came.
Timothy j. Leahy, Cambridge police
chief, Whisked the little girl through
the police lines into the club house.
There they talked-Dorothy and
the President. She told him she
wanted to 90 to Warm Springs. And
an aide whispered to the President
that Dorothy had given of her blood
more than a score of times to aid
other victims of infantile paralysis.
The President promised.
Surgeon DisapprOves.
But a letter Saturday brought bad
news
In it DR.. Michael Hoke, chief sur
eeon at the foundation, advised
against her coming to Warm Springs,
feeling that nothing would be brought
about here that would be impossible
to accomplish elsewhere.
But Dorothy's friends, a group of
Cambridge business men, disagreed.
What Dorothy needs" said Ben
iamin Roseman, spokesman for the
group, lis the proper treatment under
favorable conditions-warm weather,
nourishing diet and a place to
exercise, things she can't get here"
Dorothy is still confident she'll get
to Warm Springs somehow.
