And All Ends Well - South African Minister to U. S. Leaves After Putting Lots of People Right. BY GEORGE ABELL limes special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—One of the most interesting personalities in the diplomatic corps is Mr. Eric Louw, minister of the Union of South Africa, who will sail a week from Saturday to be minister in Rome. Politically astute, capable, unassuming, South Africa’s first envoy to the United States has been able to look back on his career here with high satisfaction.

The fact that some senators thought South Africa stood in the same relation to Great Britain as Haiti does to us—that when Minister Louw made a speech at a southern school, parents anxiously wrote to the principal to inquire, “Is the speaker black?” —that hundreds of persons whom the envoy met had never even heard of his country—all this only elicited complete good humor from him. ‘‘l have had four fascinating years here,” said Mr. Louw yesterday. “The day after I Landed in New York the stock market crashed (I hope my coming had nothing to do with it) and since then there hasn’t been a dull moment.” In the interests of his country, Mr. Louw traveled from end to end of the United States—"from coast to coast, like Mr. Childs,” is the way he put it. Every large city learned something about South Africa, its native problem, its status as a member of the British commonwealth of nations (not the British empire). "We, too, have a U. S. A..” explained Envoy Louw, “the Union of South Africa.” b tt n DURING his stay here, it was his constant endeavor to make South Africa better under-

stood by Americans. He entertained South African students. He gave receptions at which the native chinkerche’e flowers of his country nodded on graceful stems. He corrected a young journalist’s impression that kangaroos live in South Africa. As the first trade commissioner of his country in New York, Mr. Louw was for three years in that city, and Manhattan knew him long before official Washington. Later he went to London as high commissioner of South Africa and became leader of the South African delegation to the League of Nations. Just a now. he is industriously studying Italian. “I’m taking my Italian grammar on the boat with me,” he says, “and I hope to find time to do some studying on the way over.” He can already rattle off a phrase in Italian as well as in English or Afrikaans. “I’d hate to go to a country where I didn’t know the language,” he confessed. “Avanti, Savoia” Motor vehicles pay taxes of 18 per cent of property valuation, while railroads * "xes of 1.4 per cent.

Nice Fellow! ‘Good Scout’ Is Bandit, Taxi Driver Finds.

AY OU N G man wearing a bright red sweater who appeared to Robert V. Goodlet, 28, taxi driver, 567 North Belmont avenue, to be a “good scout” when he engaged his cab, later robbed him of $6.65 and the key to the taxicab. Goodlet picked the congenial fellow up at Kentucky avenue and West street early today. The fare asked to be driven to Mars Hill and whiie riding along joked and laughted with the cab driver. Goodlet said his passenger did not seem to have any definite destination and w'hen he pressed him for one, the fare promptly pressed a pistol against the back of Goodlet’s neck. His pleasant manner changed abruptly. He forced the cab driver to drive to a point on Road 67, one-half mile south of Maywood, where he robbed him. Goodlet trudged several miles to a phone to call police.
