J -r.RNFJVA, Apri! ll.V-P) 'As
'delegates to the preparatory com
miRsion for a disarmament con
jference btKan to converging on
Ueneva today, there were uncon
firmed reports in .League of Na--liona
circles that Oreat Britain
'Contemplates advancing some suit
.'pestlons before the Hritlflh general
'erections on the naval nuontion cal
culated to haflten an arrangement
with other navnl powers, especially
!tho I'nited States.
One rumor ivns that this sug
gestion may be advanced before
the preparatory commission when
it begins work on Monday. This
Ireiiort, together with dispatches
'from Washington IndlcatinK that
'.'Hugh Gibson. American nmbnssa
'dor to Hclglum, is bringing some
;new suggestion on the naval prob
lem from President Hoover, has
jrntxed hope tholt something en
'couraging may be accomplished at
the session.
j Mr. Gibson, who will represent
the United States, Is due here from
jHruswels Sunday night.

! PARIS. tiP) American tourist
ft ravel In France had a setback hist
i year and French officials and
I newspapers finally are admitting
j that glory and prestige are useless
j to meet the competition of Cior
l many, Itaiy, England and Switzer
land. Those countries are spend
ing money to advertise their at
tractions. The Itiviera, which France al
ways has considered a sort of
tourist hoaven, had a bad year.
French newspapers tried to main
tain the polite fiction that "winter
is only a name" down there, but
the people of every other country
were told by correspondents that
It rained, snowed in ml froze un the
Mediterranean coast as ft did else
where in France.
Therefore it Is dawning on some
of the wiser heads that unpleasant
facts can't be suppressed so there
had best be efforts to overcome
criticisms of tourists instead of
coolly assuming that people-should
feel privileged to spend their
money in Franco.

Speaking of canaries, there is. In

cat that probably never has seen a
bird. Its only distinction is its
enormous vanity.
The animal lives in n candy store
and nt night is placed lit a show
case, to keep It from wandering out
into the gront spaces of tho wait

few diversions, but it does havo a
mirror on ono side. Travelers from

in gtrains, may see Oscar proudly
preening himself in front of tho
mirror. Night after night he walks
back and forth, apparently admir
ing the sleek image, his only companion.
