BITTER CHARITY
The local Lions recently put on
a big doings out at an amusement
park for the sake of sweet charity.
Knowing that the gambling instinct
now rules the human race they put
on roulette wheels, faro bank, beano,
black Jack, marble boards and all
of the seductive and enticing allures
known to man in the gambling line.
When receipts were checked up the
club found itself $15 in the hole on
Ihe deal. For the benefit of the
unwary it may be added It was
shown the marble boards were the
only game that made a profit, same
being eaten up, however, by the
losses in the other games.

THE PREMIER ADVERTISER
Gardner Knapp proved himself
the premier advertising man of the
world in announcing the football
game of The Dalles-Salem H. S.'s
last evening. The Dalles bored
through Salem for a touchdown
earlv in the game and maintained
the lead to the end of the first
half. Salem trotted out on the
field after the rest period and in
three smashing plays made a touch
down. Immediately Gardner
nounced as follows: "The 8alem
team scores. The boys between
halves were fed with sandwiches
made from Master Bread." (Not a

Which, we may add, also allowed
some crust on Gardner's part, but
it is for such as that he gets his

FRANCE DENIES
RUSSIAN PACT
Paris. Nov. 24 (IP) The foreign of
fice officially denied existence of a
French-Russian military alliance to
day. The statement was tne result oi
the arcat excitement caused when
Leon Archimbault, chamber of dep
uties budget reporter, said In a
speech yesterday:
"Russia has a solid, well equip
ped army which she offers us In
case of conflict between Germany
and us.
Today's statement from the for
eign office said:
"The ministry of foreign aiiairs
declare that all reports concerning
French-Russian alliance are
groundless.'
Such an alliance would he calcu
lated to estrange Poland, France's
ally, which lies between Russia and
Germany. It also would Interfere
with the "Eastern Locarno treaty
which France Is trying to arrange to
guarantee the peace of eastern Eu
rope and which Poland opposes.
The cabinet today approved a
reply to a Polish note objecting to
features of the proposed treaty. The
note cedes to Poland the legitimacy
of its objection to guaranteeing the
existing frontiers of Czechoslovakia
and Lithuania.

TO STOP WAR IS
GOAL OF LEAGUE
Geneva, Nov. 24 (LP) The league
of nations assembly today adopted
a series of revised recommendations
In a supreme effort to end the san
guinary war between Bolivia ana
Paraguay in the Gran Chaco.
Forty-six nations voted for them.
The other two in the assembly, the
belligerents' themselves, abstained.
The original recommendations
provided for cessation of hostilities
and adjudication of the dispute over
the proper boundary in the Jungle
area that lies between their coun
tries proper. This Is unchanged.
Orieinallv a 100 kilometer (0214
miles) neutral zone was prescribed
during negotiations. As revised, the
recommendation is that the armies
shall break contact and within 10
days withdraw the bulk of tnelr
forces to an indefinite rear, organ
izing, if necessary, detachments of
police to insure peace. But there
would be no formal offensive or de
fensive works within 150 kilometers
(03 miles) of the fighting line on
either side.
The nrovislon for an arms em

failed to cooperate was strengthen
ed to bind league members to de

of just an embargo.
