Information bureau, room-renting agencies and employment offices in Paris report the visits of innumerable countessess, viscountesses and other noble offspring in search of means to increase their low income. Large numbers of them are crowding their families into a few rooms and renting the rest of their chateaux and palaces. Before Poincare actually brought a ; bout the act of stabilizing the waver-I ing franc, they held out some hope of i recovering their lost fortunes. Today they can only realize the truth. o At 98, Captain Continues To Pilot His Steamer On Lake St. Albans, Vt.,—(U.R) —Seventy-one years ago Eli B. Rockwell took out his first pilot s license. Today, hale and hearty in his 98th year. Captain Rockwell is daily on the bridge of the steamer Vermont at it plies up and down Lake Champlain. The venerable captain’s ambition is to round out 88 years of service as a sailor on Lake Champlain. This he will do. he vows, if he attains the century mark. “I do not spend too raueji time in reviewing the past," he says, ‘‘but look forward to the future. Even with 98 years behind me, 1 am planning for the future. Do you know what my plana are? Well, they are to spend at least two years more in the pilot house of the Vermont." Rockwell left his home at Nortli Hero, Ct. at the age of 12 to become a I sailor. In 1868, the captain, then pilot of I the steamer Adirondack, saved 125 1 lives by quick thinking. One night a! fire started in the boiler room, fie ' rushed in and realizing that the small stream of water from the pump would have little effect on the fire, turned the hose on the hot poiler which created enough steam to extinguish the flames. During his 86 years on the Lake, not an accident has been checked agains' his name. He has held the rank of captain of the Vermont since it was built 27 years ago. o Boy Has Broken Neck But Recovers Entirely By International News Service Sharon, Ohio —Harry Herbert, is enjoying his summer vacation here although physicians said he could not live after he had broken his neck while swimming a few weeks before he was to graduate from public school.

Kansas City Raises $25,( Builds Hom By Jack A. Bradbury, INS Staff Correspondent Kansas City, Mo.—‘A smile will go a long, long way - ; and Kansas City policemen have learned that it surely pays. James A. Smith was an elevator operator in a local office building, and because nf his cheerful countenance and continual smiles he won the titles of “Smilin’ Jim - ’ and later that of "Happy. ’’ Grown to manhood, “Happy" joined the police force here and carried his smiles with him despite all hardships and dangers connected with the job. For several years Smith was the traffic patrolman at one of Kansas City’s busiest intersections. His pleas;int disposition and demeanor toward everyone with whom he came in contact, regardless of race of creed; right or wrong as they might be in traffic, won for him a reputation which spread into many states. Killed By Bandits Recently, while thousands of persons were crossing “Happy's" beat enroute to the Republican national convention, a daring bandit quintet staged a daylight robbery at a bank a half block from the policeman's post. As the traffic officer rushed to the scene, the bandits, armed with machine gun, rifles, shotguns and revolvers. shot him down amid hundreds of persons on the busy street. AnI other policeman and three innocent i bystanders were marked with the bandit's bullets. A few hours later Happy died. For hours the police department was besieged with thousands of calls asking about the officer. Many were from shop girls and stenographers who worked near Happy, while, others were from people in all walks of life. "How is Happy—l didn't know him personally, but of course I've heard of him," they would say. Thousands of citizens braved a steady downpour of rain to attend his funeral. Then someone suggested a fund for his family, including his wife and five young children. No sooner said than done. Public subscriptions were received by news papers and a box was erected near whore the officer was slain. Offerings came in by mail from many distant cities where the officer’s smile had been spread. Benefit Shows Help Will Rogers, the famous cowboyhumorist. was in Kansas City attending the convention, and gave a special performance with the entire proceeds going to the policeman's family. Other benefit shows were given. On one occasion the headliners of several downtown shows gave a special midnight show jointly, which was attended by about 4,000 persons. A total of nearly $25,000 was added to a $5,000 life insurance policy of Dr. Harold V. DeVor Dentist Office Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Evenings by appointment. Phone No. 422. 127 No. 3rd st

000 Fund And le For Slain Cop's Family Smith’s should place his family on a substantial basis for many years. This, however, was not enough in token of tlie smiles. Workmen are busily engaged in erecting a new home for the Smiths, all material, ground and lalior donated. o Ninth Olympiad Officially Ociu'd At Amsterdam Today Amsterdank July 28. —(U.R) - Tlie ninth Olympiad was opened today by Prince Henry, the prime consort, as the 4,250 men and women athletes, participated in a colorful parade around the stadium in which they will bgeiti tomorrow to compete for athletic honors. Delegations from 44 nations, gaily costumed, were in the parade. Os these the Upited States delegation olitained the least applause; possibly because it was figured that theirs would come lato r. There was a 45th delegation entered —tlie French. But the French rein c to parade, saying that they had lieen refused permission to practice in the stadium yesterday, whereas the German team had. They threatened to withdraw from tlie games, but it was believed the incident would be smoothed voer without difficulty.
