Man bout

By George Tucker

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S,-1t is
little things like this that explain
Why fiction writers in New York
merely observe people and find
their plots without having to wraci
their brains.
Noel Mills is an actress. I d01;

er tore a page from the New York
Times to wrap a small picture in.
She was putting it away in a draw.
er when her eyes happened to fall
on a paragraph in the personal
column, which was on that pace.
The paragraph asked information
as to the whereabouts Of hf
daughter. Someone, it seems, had
left her a considerable amount d
money.
The plot now thickens, While
all this was going on Noel va;

Looks Like Duck Soup

CrOmWell won't nave trouble VIII CoIllIild-
ton in the senate, likely enough, because
heaps of members think he is a f~irst-rate econ
omist. Because he can lend FEASIBILITY to some
pretty exciting economic theories, diplomacy
ought to be duck soup for him.
There are several diplomatic posts which
traditionally-and factually-are money posts.
Ambassadorships to England, France, Ger
many and Russia always have cost more than
the income. At London, Joseph P. Kennedy US
ually is listed as a multi-millionaire His re-
cent predecessors-Robert Bingham, Andrew
w. Mellon, Charles G. Dawes, Alanson B.
Houghton and F. B. Kellogg-rarely had to
patronize dime stores.
Our recollection is that Kellogg once re-
marked that the ambassadorship shook him
down about 10000 a year and he was not a
free-spending man. We would bank on it that
Kennedy isn't getting by with so little out OF
pocket. His SIT, 900 salary and $4,000 to $1O,-
600 expense account wouldn't last him much
past Easter.
The three immediate predecessors of William
C. Bullitt at ~Paris-Jesse L. Straus, Walter
e.. Edge and Myron T. Herrick-also were
wealthy men.
The outstanding early ambassador to Paris
was Benjamin Franklin. While he made him
self famous with such slogans as "A penny
saved is a penny earned" he, nevertheless,
was one of the richest men in the colonies
and his wealth, along with his brains and old
DIONl COdl. CCiIll louNSN " iS I3N~'SS
An Exception
The three outstanding "men of wealth. now
or recently in diplomatic posts are Kennedy,
Bullitt and Joseph E. Davies. There were 9TH
err candidates of wealth ready for the jobs, put
these three were chosen as the cream OF the
crop and nobody in Washington is ready to
doubt that they are good diplomats.
All three are rich in their own rights while
Davies fortune was supplemented a few years
ago by marriage to Marjorie Post Hutton, who
startled Russia by moving to Moscow with
1000 pints of frozen cream to supply the en-
bassy when Davies was appointed there. Lat
er, Davies was transferred to Belgium; now
he's doing special service in the state de
p%artment.
1t is a sort Of half-baked mystery why TINS
government does not appropriate enough 10
finance it's ambassadors at expensive posts. 1t
may come about as the idea of a career dip
lomacy is extended. England reputedly lays
out $3.50 0 a year for expenses on its WASH
ington e1s,assy, in addition to salaries. Inc
Japanese entertainment and expense hllteh
here is put at about $4,000.
Receptions and dinners must be given ana
returned, for information and good Will are
gained that way. In smaller posts salaries Will
pay costs. That factor has led to a STEADY e&-
pansion of the career service. Given It's prlm-
ary boost by Secretary of State Hull IN the
early twenties, the service has expanded until
now it is estimated that 80 per cent or more
of our diplomatic posts are f1lleo oy career
men. Joseph Grew, now at Iokyo' IS d SHINING
example.
Even so if is nice if a diplomat can have a
LITTLE nrivate income. Hugh Wilson, a career
list, survived the usually expensive post at
Berlin with a modest personal income 10 sup
plement his salary.

PLANT TWO MILLION
FISH lin GLACIER STREAMS

It's future fishing that AS

| Alton at Glacier National park
is thinking about as he super
| intends planting of more than
two E;illion fish in Glaciers
lakes and streams this summer.
from the new Glacier Nation
al park fish hatchery at Ores
ton, Mont, 1lngerllngs and small
fry are being hauled by the
Jruckload in one of the biggest
fish planting operations in the
history of the park. Though
it is necessary to plant finger
lings and small fry during the
1910 season, the well-stocked
rearing ponds at the hatchery
are expected to yield larger fish
tor next years planting.
The majority OF the new plant
are lnch-and-a-half blackSpot-
ted trout, which are being dis
tributed in no less than SIS lakes
and streams. In lake Mcdonald
alone, 100000 of the potential
breakfast delicacies are being
planted. The upper end of St.
Mary's lake will receive 100000,
with acaltiona heavy paintings
in Cutbank creek, Red Eagle
lake, Waterton lake, and other
adjacent sections of the park.
Although the bulk of this
years planting comprises the
native blackspotted trout, the
rainbow and Eastern brook will
be planted in smaller numbers
in waters east of the Continent
tai divide. TWo-inch rainbow
trout will be distributed in Mid
die Two Medicine, SWiftcurrent,
Josephine, Stump, and Cracker
lakes, and Cataract and Swift
current creeks.
In Middle Two Medicine,

Lakes, as well as in Two Med

Eastern brook trout are being
placed. Because of their size,
they are given a 900 chance of

cier anglers.

CHANGE ELIGIBILITY
STANDARDS OF CCC

In a memorandum issued re-
Gently by ]. ]. McEntee, director
OF the Civilian Conservation
Corps, it was stated that prior
to the recent change in eligibil-
ity standards, enrolment in the
corps was limited to young men
whose families were on relief,
eligible for relief, or whose in
comes were below the normal
standard of living in the COM
munity. The Act of June %,
1897, extending the life of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, OPP
ened the way for enrolment of
young men who were not on re-
lief.
This law stated that 1.-The Civ
1ian Conservation Corps is eS-
tablished for the purpose of
providing employment, as well
as vocational training. for
youthful citizens of the Uni
ted States, who are unemployed
and in need of employment"
The memorandum pointed out
that the latest modification in
the definition of the terms "un-
employed and in need of en-
ployment" read sas follows:
For the purpose of CCC Sc
lection the phrase Unemployed
and in need of employment
shall be understood to cover I'M
married junior applicants 9TH
erwise qualified by age, citizen
ship, fitness and character; not
in attendance at school, nor on
temporary vacation therefrom;
not possessing other regular or
full-time employment, and who
need the employment, the job
training, the education and 9TH
er opportunities available in
the Civilian Conservation
Corps" i.
Mr.. McEntee states that it is
important to have in mind the
new definition of unemployed
and in need of employment"
This new definition is the heart
of the new regulation. The fl
nal clause of the new definition
specifies that in order to be
eligible the applicant must
need the employment, the job
training, the educational and
other opportunities available in
the CCC." In other words, he
says, while it is not necessary
that the family shall be of re-
lief status Or unable to main
tain a normal standard of liv-
ing in order that the son shall
be eligible for enrolment, the
statute still requires that the
enrollee shall need" the en-
ployment and vocational oppor-
tunities of the corps. If such
opportunities are fully available
to him through his own or his
fam1lyS resources, he is not
within the regulations and elig-
lble :or enrolment under the
statutes.
1T would be a splendid thing
If every young American could
be given the opportunity to
serve for six months or a year
in the healthful, outdoor sur
rounding OF CCC camps" Mr..
McEntee pointed out. 1.-THE dis
cipline, the orderly routine o.
camp life, he training, the con-
slant medical attention and the
inspiring leadership, usually
found in all CCC camps, would
leave their imprint upon every
youth enrolled. The opportunity
to be of service to the nation
should be an additional appeal
to every young American, espec-
tally in these troublesome
times"
1t was further stated that
while the eligibility standards
have been somewhat liberalized,
it is of the utmost Importance
that only young men we'll suited

Then, (between scratches) it was
explained that Prof. Ruhl must

Other facts concerning Prof.

The fleas have an average of life Of
eight to 10 months and it takes
from one month to two months to
train the average flea. Prof. Rub
