Ministry OF ~
France Seeks
An Approval

Faris, Oct. 3-(AP)-The French
government prepared today to steam
roller through Parliament the stron-
gest possible approval of its foreign
policy, particularly it's part in the
four-power Munich accord.
Sources close to the government
said the cabinet planned to make a
formal statement to the extraordinary
session convened for tomorrow and
then limit the assembly to one ad-
dress of eulogy by the parliamentary
leader of Premier Daladier's radical
socialist party.
The government holds powerful
whip over Parliament. Since this is a
special session, it can order adjourn
nent at any time. Word had appar-
emily gone out to the Paris press sup
porting the government to urge legis-
lators to gag themselves in the in

Debs Make Her Mad


The article in your paper of
July 81 on the society girls as
a class seems to be only prov
ing the goods knew something
about debs anyway. In trying
to refute the allegations, the
debS seem only to have made
them stronger.
The Miss Pat" who so
abhorS having her name in the
paper thinks that one ought to
have some respect for their in
feriors" which she blithely
names as people who work in
stores-and that sort Of thing,
you know"
Well, if that one statement
isn't enough to make any red
blooded American boil, I don't
know why. It sounds like it
came from some foreign mon-
arch, where class is recognized,
instead of from a supposedly
democratic country.
And there are thousands of
American girls, working in
stores and elsewhere, just as
well-trained and socially versed
as this Miss Pat" At least they
have more manners than to call
those who are making honest
livings inferior" And each one
of the girls quoted in the article
talks about sticking to her own
class, and not mingling with
the ice man and garbage man.
1t just makes me thoroughly
mad to have the so-called
upper crust" make such re-
marks.
The garbage man or the ice
man can be as much a gentle
man, and is as much an Ameri-
can, as any tuxedo-wearing

This is about your editorial
suggestion, reported pretty gen.
orally around the country, that
newspapers and magazines
should be investigated, because
they are causing "clasS con-
sciousness" in resenting the viii

general pandering to the mob by
Franklin the Great since he first
took office.
Roosevelt has been misleading
the ignorant and encouraging
Communism, bribing farmers
and buying votes with billions in

wreck us all. Yet you have the

not dumb luck that took him
across the ocean. His airplane
is more airworthy now than it
was in 1929. He knew he had
enough gas; he knew that the

he had come West for a vaca.
ton and would be glad to &C
cept the mayors hospitality.
Next day, George Dale felt an.
other headache coming on.
The doctor pricked the ear
again - and away went the
headache.
The visitor-we won't men
tion his name, for his relatives
are still around and are very
fine people-remained a guest
of Mayor Dale'S for three years,
becoming the family'S private
physician. There were seven
young Dales in the house. and
the mayor thought he was doing
himself a good turn. The doc
tors invariable prescription for
any ailment was bleeding. But
he got results. His host may
have wondered at the absence of
mail and silence on the matter
of the practice left behind in
the East, but Dale had been a
footlooSe wanderer himself not
so long ago-So he let things
ride. He fed, clothed and
liquored his physician and gave
him 81 a week pocket money.
NHE mayor of Muncie loaned
his private doctor to Mrs.
Dugan on one occasion when
she was very i'll. He came to
the bedside, took a drop of blood
from her ear, examined it with
his little microscope, and then
gave her 10 tiny tablets. These,
he cautioned her, were very
dangerous II more than one
were taken at a time. He said
"a hours should elapse between
each swallowing. Shortly after
he left, Mrs. Dugan's kitten got
hold Of the box Of pills and ate
them all. She telephoned Mum
Gle, asking what she could do
to save the animals life. The
doctor replied cats were i'm
mune.
A COUPLE of months after
4 A that, a young woman came
to the mayors office and asked
him if he knew anything about
her father, who had escaped
from an insane asylum three
years ago and had, according to
a travelling friend of hers, been
seen in Muncie a few weeks be-
fore. After she had described
her parents appearance, George
Dale realized he had been en-
trusting his, health and that of
his family and friends to mad
man whose only association
with medicine had been a night
watchman's job in a hospital.
The doctor was taken back
East by his daughter. And the
mayor, after he got over his
scare, declared he had never
had better medical attendance
in his life. His headaches had
completely disappeared.

The fact that people in other

here. A sense Of justice and Of
