CASH IS KING NEW YORKERS URGE DEAL FOR PART OF CANADA Boine Chaber of Cibiill merce Seeks St. Lawr- ence River Land THIS PART OF NORTH OFFERED IN EXCHANGE Transfer Advocated Prlor to Waterpower, Wat- erways Treaty ROME, New York, Dec. 9—The Rome Chamber of Commerce has empowered its secretary to suggest to the State Department the trad- ing of the “Panhandle” of Alaska to Canada for land south of the | St. Lawrence River. This is to be| done before the consummation ot the waterpower and waterways treaty between Canada and the United States.

Now it's time for another one. The famous St. Petersburg docu- ment has run its course, and the Colonel and Babe have started light training for the forthcoming fray. Each is reported to have dis- patched his most trustworthy scouts to snoop around the rival camp and find out what, ir anything, is on the other’s mind. ‘Yankee headquarters has sent out what amounted to the opening jab at the world’s highest salaried athlete, who has been occupied with a series of movie shorts in Hollywood. “We don't intend to hold any preliminary conference with the Babe,” said Ed Barrow, secretary of the club. “When the contracts are sent out in January, he will get his along with the rest of them.| Then, if it doesn't suit him, there will be plenty of time for confer- " As the Bambino has never been| known, over a long span of years, to like any contract that was pop- ped at him through the mails, it is a foregone conclusion there will be BAR BACHELORS AS AUTO DRIVERS ISTANBUL, Dec. 9—To reduce traffic crashes the mayor of Is- must be married.
