Around Our TOWK OK S! elby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM. 4TOMEN AND NEWSPAPERS Some months ago this comer ran that bewhiskered riddle,‘"Why h a woman like a new. pti[>er?” The stereotyped answer Is: "Because every man should have one ot hts own and not run after his neighbor’s." But In recent weeks, newspaper readers here and there over the country have supplied a number of new answers. Perhaps you will be interested and perhaps you will not, but here are a few: "Because they both tell all they know.” (That’s our’n.) "Because a woman wants to know all the news and tell us all she knows." "Because both are tactful, desirable, Interesting and Indispensable." "Because they have forms, and It Is necessary to lock them up if you want to go to press.” "Because they have bold face types." “Because they are easy to read." “Because they are well worth looking over.” “Because back numbers are not in demand." “Because they are not afraid to speak their minds." “Because If they know anything they usually tell It." “Because they always have the last word.” “Because they carry the news wherever they go." “Because they have a great deal of Influence." “You may often disagree with them but you can't get along without them."

Carter Glass Learned Finance In Hard School of Experience * * * * * * Virginia Senator, Former Secretary of the Treasury and Mentioned as Next Holder of That Post, Is One of Nation’s Foremost Banking Authorities. Vll&lAM / G /' M*Adoo, r „ WHEN Gi^ass X.Succeeded - MVtooo ae * \Secy 5? I \Treatjey --1 Sekt Carter. Ge ass *• When appointed to the Banking and Currency Committee on making'hie debut in Congreee, in 1902, Cartar Giaai of Virginia frankly contested that ha didn't know anything about banking, but announced hie deter mination to learn. How well he aucceeded may ba gauged from the fact that ha ia today regarded aa one of the country’a foremoat authors tiea on national and international finance. From a humble Represents tire member of the banking committee he roae rapidly to the chairman ahip of that body, and climaxed hia financial education in 1918 by ac cepting the portfolio of Secretary of the Treaaury in the cabinet of President Wilaon. Among other things, Senator Glass ia the father of the Federal Reserve Act, one of the achievements of which he ia justly proud. He resigned from the cabinet in 1920 to accept an appointment aa U. S. Senator by the Governor of Virginia. He was re-alectad in 1926 and again in 1930. Today, despite hia 74 years, Senator Glass ia as fiery and active on the Senate floor as he was whan he first entared the halls of Congress. During the recent election campaign he flatly con tradicted President Hoover and Secretary Mills when they stated pub licly that the United States was at one time within two weeks of being driven off the gold standard during the economic crisis. The Virginia Senator, prominently mentioned as next Secretary of the Treasury in the cabinet of President-elect Roosevelt, is a dry, but favors resubmission. Ha also is an advocate of revision of the foreign war debts. .esUons nswers t (Our reader! can set an answer to The Cleveland Star Washington Bureau. 1322 New York avenue, N W.. Washington. O. C.

Y„ Dec, 20.—President elect Roosevelt indicated Monday night he believed debt negotiations with individual nations can be best carried out by a special representa tive of the President rather than by a commission or a board. Mr. Roosevelt, in expressing this view, after being informed that President Hoover had moved to ward creation of a bipartisan board to go into the matter of debts, dis armaments and the general world economic situation, let it be known also the position of “direct deal ing” he outlined for debt negotia tions remains unchanged "Have you received any word from Mr, Hoover on his newest pro ! posal? ’ the governor was asked. | "I cannot tell you,” he replied, ! “obviously that would have to come j from the White House.” * In Controversial Stage, i Roosevelt was represented as be I lievlng that the debt problem should be considered separately in stead of by a group that also would have on its agenda the question of disarmaments and economic reha bilitation. He was declared by close advisers I to feel that the war debt negotia tions are in but a controversial stage, a stage that could not pos sibly be brought to a conclusion be fore he assumes office March 4. They were convinced also that a policy of bargaining for the be.it passible terms could be carried out with a great deal more success by an individual rather than through the formality of a conference room and in what they termed “across the table” discussions. Governor Roosevelt was asked whether there was any likelihood of his resuming with President Hoover the conferences on war debts that were initiated last month by the latter. He shook his head negatively. No. 1 Township News Of Interest Preaching Over Week.End, Hester Hamrick Has Aib Broken. Others Sick. {Special to The Star.)
