Smith Gets His Inspiration
Gazing at 'Brogans’ on
Way to Office.

I nitrd Prr** Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. Aug. :>2.—Alfred E.
Smith, "the author " gets his writing
Inspiration for gazing at the
polished tips of his shoes as he rides
to his office in an automobile.
He jots down a word or two on
the back of an old envelope and
once at the office dictates his
writings.
“How do you prepare your
articles? ' Smith was asked.
"All by dictation," he answered.
"I think them out beforehand and
then dictate'when f feel like it and
have the time."
Dictates All Articles
The former Governor then de
scribed the method preparing his
current articles.
"I have made a practice for many
years to save newspaper clippings.
The two bottom drawers of my desk
always have been devoted exclu
sively to newspaper clippings.
"f sec something interesting—
something somebody else lias said.
I cut it out and put it in the drawer.
Then when I go away for a trip I
leave orders for a clerk to empty
the drawers and file the clippings
m envelopes according to subject
matter.
"When I am asked to speak on
‘water power.' I merely go to the
files and look for an envelope marked
‘water powder articles.’ ands have
my speech all cut out for me. This
has been a habit with me ever since
entering public life.
“In writing my articles I use ref
erences only in the matter of exact
dates. I have trained myself to re
member events by the years in
which they occurred. The exact
dates within the various years are
obtained by searching through notes
and files.
Checks All of Dates
"fn my first few articles there
were a lot of dates and places men
tioned. Names of various bills and
the days they were introduced and
finally became laws, all were found
in my private files. I recalled from
memory the circumstances surround
ing them, and in many cases the ac
tual words spoken for and against
them.
“The Curtis Publishing Company
assured me they had experts to
check all dates and places in stor
ies printed by them. When the
galley proofs came to me they had !
checked every one and had fpund
not one single error in my writing’’ I

DEBT DEMANDS
OF BRITAIN MET
BY BIG POWERS
| Latest Move Shifts Fate of
Conference on Shoulders
of Germany,
By FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent
THE HAGUE, Aug. 22.—France,
Italy, Belgium and Japan completed
anew proposal today largely ful
filling Great Britain’s three de
mands for modification of the
Young plan, which almost wrecked
the reparations conference here.
The proposal, however, was partly
at the expense of Germany, so that
Germany at the afternoon meeting
of the four powers was invited to
hear the new proposal.
The proposal was understood to
include an increase of 100,000,000
marks Y 523,820,000) annually in
Germany’s unconditional annuities,
which Britain would receive. The
100.000,000 marks would be de
ducted from Germany’s condition
reparations.
The proposal shifts the fate of
the conference to Germany’s
shoulders.
The "Big Six” powers agreed to
undertake the gigantic last minute
effort to fulfill the three British
financial demands entailing the re
vision of the Young plan. The
meetings heard both Philip Snow
den, British chancellor of the
exchequer, and German foreign
minister Gustave Stresemann sug
gest that in case the conference
Fat Man
Walks Ten Miles
I don’t care how fat you are or
how much you hate to get out and
walk a couple of miles.
If you will take one-half a tea
spoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass
of hot water every morning for 30
days—■
You will feel so good—so energetic
and the urge for activity will be so
great that you will immensely en
joy a daily walk of several miles—
and lose fat.
Why will Kruschen Salts make this
great change for the better in me—it Is
natural for you to ask.
Because Kruschen is a blend of the
6 vitalizing salts Nature says your
body must have to keep every organ,
gland and nerve in the body bouyantly
healthy.
While you are losing fat you will be
gaining in energy—in endurance —in
ambition. Your skin will grow clearer
and your eyes will sparkle with the
good 'health' that Kruschen brings.
.Tust try one 85c bottle of Kruschen
Salts: it will last you 30 days. After
you have taken one bottle the old arm
chair won’t hold you any more—you’ll
want to be up and doing—you'll enjoy
work and active recreation and you’ll
sleep like a top.
You’ll lose fat and probably live
years longer. Get Kruschen at Hook’s
Dependable Drug Stores or at any live
druggist in America.—Advertisement.

SUIT ON ESTATE
Montreal City Property Is
Claimed by Descendants
of British Officer.
B'/ United Prexx
MONTREAL. Quebec. Aug. 22.
Preliminary steps were taken today
in the attempt of heirs of Lieuten
ant Tessier Dit Lavigne to obtain
Montreal city property which is
valued at $1,000,000,000.
A notice was filed in the superior
court notifying officials of the Sem
inary of St. Suplice that an action
for damages of one billion dollars
would be filed shortly in local courts.
The case is an outgrowth of the
action of two Chicago women who
came here a couple of years ago
and started investigating the estate
of Lieutenant Tessier Dit Lavigne.
Since then heirs of the early Brit
ish naval lieutenant have been
found all over the United States and
Canada and they now total 300.
They will meet in Windsor, Ontario,
Sunday to diScuss the legal action.
The property involved includes
the &ite on which Notre Dame
Cathedral and several banks and
office buildings stand.
