Allhiuigli a lawyer, the bachelor President of Frame has always had a love.lor travel, a taste which tie confesses he first acquired when he j went to indo-China 40 years ago. ThAn a young ma , of 27, he wjnt out to :.ie comparatively undeveloped French colony as a magistrate. He remained there two years and voyaged extensively in the interior. , 'I he visit to Algeria recently to ; celebrate the conteuary ot French iccnpation there Is not i’appa Doui mng.ie's first acquaintance with ,h" north African desert. After he left Indo-China he was appointed io | a magi.; racy in Algiers where he got to know very intimately tin i mentality and customs of the picIturesque chiefs of the Sahara tribes men. . His taste for roaming on sea and land was furthei whetted when he became Minister for the Colonies about the time of the outbreak ot the Great War.

Los Angeles. June 4. — Harold Red" Grange, idol of twenty million football-crazy Americans, is working in a night club. The feet that once raced to fame over frost-bitten football fields are j now tapping out fox trots in Jazzland. To blaze Broadway, which has seen murders, champion boxers and lady aviators become vaudeville headliners and smilingly ’ watched Russian grand duchesses metamorphosed into tearoom hostesses, the news is no surprise. But Main Street and a hundred college campuses are dazed to hear 'hat America’s greatest halfback has become master of ceremonies in a California cabaret. Since the mighty Grange emerged from the portals of the University of Illinois several years, I ago he has been in turn a profes-' sional football box-office attrac-I tion. a sports promoter and a movie | star. But all his post-college ac-, tivities have been identified one i way or another with the athletic activities that first screamed his name across newspaper front pages. Even his picture debut was made in a movie built around the college ’ gridiron career. But since he first ! turned his back upon amateur sport six years ago, Red has been dogged by a curiously persistent understudy star.

FRANCE STAGES I EXHIBITION OF COLONIAL POWER French-Algerian Independent Army Will Parade In Paris July 14th By Samuel Dashiell (United Pres' Staff Correspondent) • Pads. Jone 4 (IIP)— Tbe eon'vinniatlon of France's exhibition of, her Mediterranean power will take' nlace at Paris July 14th, when the independent French-Algerian army vlll parade in full panoply and im’erial grandeur on the occasion of the national holiday of the Third Republic. The excuse for this display of the African forces will bo the forthcoming colonial exhibition at Vincennes, which will attempt to impress insular French Parisian' with the; fact that France is the second greatest colonial power In the world. | By sending President Doumergtte and a large retinue of Parliamentarians to North Africa. I’ranch in‘ends to leave no doubt in the minds >f political observers that she must be reckoned with henceforth as a world power of the first order. The Algerian centenary in mereh’. a pictorial disguise under which the new France is assuming the role in Africa of ancient Rome, which was started by Mussolini in Tripoli I three years ago.

His efforts to capitalize transcontinental marathons and other ventures with his friend, C. C. I (Caah-and-CarFy) Pyle, cost him a fortune. After making a film or two, his movie contract was not renewed. I Hollywood magnates said that Red Grange, as a picture star, was a flop or. at best, a momentary boxoffice name. From his first intercollegiate football game in 1922 Grange’s brilliant end runs, drop kicks and . i line plunges marked him as a coming sensation. The following three years with Illinois confirmed this prediction. The West had never seen such as amazing athletic performer. Single-handed he again and again sent the powerful Western university elevens down to defeat. Coming East lie surpassed ■ himself in 1925 against Pennsyi- | vania. At the end of that year Grange . quit amateur foothall and Illinois. | Pyle, his manager, rushed him into | a schedule of two or more games 'each week. Sporting experts predicted the red-thatched iceman from Illinois would suffer a break-I down. Today at the age of twen-l ty-reven, "Red” Grange is through with football forever. The mil-j lions he drew to football stadiums may only see him now in the I smoke-'.aden atmosphere of a night | club.

It is reported in semi-official quarters that the result of the Algerian .aspection by President Doumergue, and the Cabinet will be the uniticai tion of the North African colonies land protectorates. Morocco, Algiers | and Tunis', and that the political ex-: 1 igeneies of the Moroccan and TuniI sian protectorates will be worked out diplomatically with the Sul’an oi Morocco and the Bey of Tunis. French colonial psychology, as revealed during the visit of President cioumerque, hows that I ranee will make every effort to join the SuI dan and Niger, and these with the I mandated colonies of the League of Nations, inherited :rcm the World War. into a powerful African fedoraion. o Riot Tank Shoots Water Beilin. — (UP) - Barlin police have equipped themselves with a motorized and armored water tank car. They have found by experience [ that, by playing a fire hose on a crowd of rioters they can bleak up a .ot quicker and more safely than by any other means. Now it will no longer be necessary to call on the tire department for help in case of I rouble but instead the tank car will : will answer all riot calls. It holds I about 1,200 gallons and can throw a powe: ful stream of water a minimum distance of 120 feet. Theft and Manufacture Berlin, —(UP)—In 1929 the number of automobiles stolen in the United States totaled 300,000. This I was almost exactly twice as many automobiles as were manufactured in Germany dining the same period.l O Pop Corn at Green Kettle.

BIRMINGHAM IS STILL TOUCHY ABOUT LIMBS

Citizens Prevented From Even Seeing Reflection of Own Legs Birmingham Eng., June 4 (UP) —To most of the world a leg. win I ther it Is sheathed in silk or wears a garter around Its calf, is merely ' lometblng Io get somewhere on. Not so in Birmingham! The good I folks here can t even look at their I own. A few years ago the Watch Coniinit'ee which supervises the city's, morals, reac iel the momentous decision that even though a leg was! a thing of beauty, it had a devastating influence. Therefore, the bare leg \\a- placed in the same categow as the witch. Paviowa was compelled to trip over the I age with her famous, supporters covered by fleshings. Ordinary cho. us'girls were made to wear tights. It appeared the city had been saved from perdition. Troupers cum.' back into the cities and told tile story. Newspape-s poked fun at the ighteous citizens. Finally the committee decided to reconsider its decision. It held a solem inspection of a bare leg.

Coupons a Thousand Miles Away A thousand miles away or so. perhaps at this very moment, a gentleman is seated in a safety deposit vault busily clipping coupons from a number of bonds. Tomorrow this same individual ... and thousands like him ... will receive a dividend check through the mail. The coupons represent interest returns on money spent with chain stores. The dividend check reprints his share in the profits of the self-same organization." We have no quarrel with these stocks or bonds; very likely they are a tine investment. But ... it is also very likely that this chain syndicate has an outlet in Decatur. ■ ' fcl , C’ Perhaps two or three.

Interest on the |[ SJ pr,| ’ loan is not paid to bond-holders a thousand miles away, but F ' swells the amount of money the bank has available for I ||. commercial loans to OTHER LOCAL BUSINESS MEN.
