Dawes9 Pipe Qualifies Him
For British Post, Says Stewart
■. ... «
Br CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. May 2.—Charles
G. Dawes has at least on qualifica
tion for the post of American am
bassador in London—his pipe.
Most British statesmen, like other
Britons, smoke them—or cigarets.
The theory is that the English
climate spoils cigars. It does make
tobacco mouldy. I doubt if it makes
cigars any mouldier than pipe to
bacco or cigarets, but the English
think it does.
Anyway, a pipe is distinctly Brit
ish.
It is patricularly so. smoked in a
plug hat. a coat with long tails,
pearl gray pants, spats and patent
leather shoes, in evening dress, or—
at court—in knee breeches and a
sword.
The ex-vice president smokes his
pipe like a true Briton—regardless
of accessories.
* * *
The underslung Dawes model of
pipe is not British, to be sure. Still,
it is a briar. England probably will
not cavil over the peculiarity of its
pattern.
In principle, the Chicagoan recog
nizes the pipe's superiority to all
other forms of smokes.
This is bound to make the Eng
lish like him. from the jump.
They may not say so to a visiting
American, but they secretly regard
cigar-s m o k i n g as a species of
"swank "—English for "bluff. Ci
garet-smoking they do not think
about one way or the other. They
really welcome a pipe.

General Dawes physiognomy is;
suggetsive of a cat's.
Perhaps the suggestion, is mostly
in the general’s chin. .Without be
ing a weak or a receding chin—
a cat's chin is not that—nevertheless
It is rather light.
The mouth shuts with a kind of;
tight-lipped smugness which is cat- !
like. too.
Even the general's figure has a !
hint of the feline He is a taller

as thoroughly dometsicated and
harmless as if he had never had
a destructive instinct in his life—
and then, all at once—z-z-z-z-t—off
comes a long ribbon of somebody s
cuticle, and the place takes a dick
ens of a while to heal.
* * •
The ex-vice president is advertised
as a wonderful man for the United
States embassy in Britain because of
his record of diplomatic triumphs
in the past—or triumph, to be more
exact. On consideration, it is hard
to recall more than one.
The "Dawes plan’ is a matter
of history, anyway.
That was the pian by which the
question of German reparations was
settled temporarily at a mighty
critical juncture after the war. A
re-adjustment of it is in progress
now. but the "Dawes plan" certainly
did serve to stave off a serious sit
uation until it seems likely a satis
factory permanent agreement will
soon be reached, in the calmer in
ternational atmosphere of today.
• •
; Nobody can take away from the
I "Dawes plan" the credit for having
averted a peck of trouble at the
i time it w-as devised.
True, it was Owen D. Young's
plan
However. General Dawes was
chairman of the commission on
which, as a member, Mr. Young
thought up the scheme; so it was
called after the general and he got
all the parise for it. If that is not
skillful diplomacy, what Is?
The ex-vice president has another
qualification for the London em
bassy, too, which must not be over
looked—for it is a vital one To
keep up the job costs a lot more
than it pays. Hence our ambas»sa
dor to England must be a very rich
man. and General Dawes is.

NEW HOME FOR
STATES CLUBS
I I
■ .
j Circular Building 200 Feel
In Diameter Planned For
Valley Fair Grounds
'Special to The Herald.)
HARLINGEN. May 2—Construc
tion of one of the most unusual
and serviceable buildings in the
Valley is planned for the Valley
flair grounds here, the building to
be known as a "Home States Club
building." according to J. A. Sc hunk,
officer of the organisation of home
states clubs.
The building is to be a circular
affair, with a diameter of 200
feet. Its construction will be un
usual in a number of respects, as
it will include the use of cables,
making the building in many ways
resemble a huge circus tent. In the
center will be the flag pole, or
mein support pole.
I Cost will be approximately $30,000,
it is estimated.
The present plan is to finance the
building through the home states
clubs, such as the Valley Oklahoma
club, which has 2.000 members, the
Valley Kansas club. Nebraska club,
etc. 'There are 30 of these clubs;
in the Valley, with a combined
membership of more than 20,000.
The building will have an open
space in the center, and around
the sides will be the compartments
or rooms of each club. Exhibits of
the various clubs can be placed in
these compartments, including, for
instance, maps and pictures of
their home states, photographs of
governors and other public figures ■
there, etc.
The building will be in use dur- ,
ing practically all the year, the
plan being for these clubs to hold
more fequent gatherings than at
present.
During the time the Valley Mid
Winter fair in in session, the cen
ter of the building will be used for
the automobile display. At nights,
the automobiles will be backed into
the various booths of the different j
clubs, and the center used for
dances or other such purposes.
Plans are also being considered
to permit land companies bringing s
parties from certain states to take
their prospective Valley home own- j
ers through the building, so they
can get in touch with the former
residents of their states.
"Any number of interesting fea
tures can be combined with such a
building." John T. Floore. manager .
of the Valley fair. said. "The home r
states clubs probably will become ;
much more active, and dances, gen- j
eral meetings and other features
can be held at the building here.
It will also help materially to build
the Valley fair, adding interest and |
new entertainment.**
Efforts will be made to get the
new structure started In time to
have it ready for the fair this fall.
