S, Herriot, Here to Talk with| Roosevelt, Veteran of Battles L ued from Pa;:: One) { Azent of the Railrcad in charge|with his books, luggage and an assortment of pipes. He commutes to Lyons where he is mayor, and where his family lives. He spends two days a week being mayor. The {other ‘five he is in Paris. He has no trouble moving about {for his wardrobe, in spite of his {bulky figure, is small. It consists of 'a couple of pairs of baggy pants, a !slouch hat of rare vintage, a swal- low tail coat and a stiff shiri— that's all he cares about. Appar- ently he never heard of Beau Brummel. Left a penniless orphan at the jage of 17 he has made a living by his pen and his tongue. He is a prolific writer. Contributions appear {in newspapers and magazines all over the country. It is not uncom- mon for him to lecture in Marsell- les one night on Beethoven and two nights later in Brussels on Greek literature. He also finds time to write books on ous topics. This means that Herriot's candle burns well into the night. The man President Roosevelt is now facing is in many ways a ty- pical Frenchman. The time he has spent in cosmopolitan centers has not effaced his jovial, wise-cracking provincial bourgeois manner. Breaks Political Precedents The Herriot heart beats with con- tentment when he climbs into the tribune of the Chamber of Depu- ties. Here, a commentator has said, e appears like Sampson carress- ing the.columns of the temple be- fore pulling them down.” Audacity has been the leit-motit of his political career. Where con- servatives dared not enter, the mayor of Lyons went in. When he came to power last June, he com- pletely reversed French foreign pol- icy. He did the same thing when he first became Premier in 1924. At Lausanne last summer he did what no predecessor could have done—consent to reduction of Ger- man reparations payments to al- most zero. He met rude fate last December and was thrown out of office while standing for full compliance with the terms of the Franco-American war debt agreement. He wanted to pay the interest due. But the chamber said no, and voted the premier down. He Knows English Since then, he has staked his personal political fortunes in campaign for payment. Unless President Roosevelt in- sists on practicing his French on Herriot, it is certain that the lat- ter will try his English on the President. Herriot understands Eng- lish well and speaks sufficiently to drive his points home. o AFTER SCOTT’S MARK NEW YORK, April 27.—Lou Geh- rig of the Yanks, who played in his 1,198th consecutive game on opening day, expects to surpass Ev- erett Scott’s major league record of 1,307 straight this season.

When the Oivil Service Commis- slon was created, Congress appar- ently regarded the plan as- some- thing of an experiment. The law included only a limited number of government employees under the civil service regulations, byt it em- powered the President to trangfer other groups there as he saw fit. A sucoession of Presidents, both issued executive orders putting un- der civil gervice many new classes of government employees.

SHE is eniy eight, but, even at this tender age Mary Lou is a daily customer at the neighborhood stores. Perhaps it is a package of crackers, and a pound of coffee at the grocer’s. Per- haps it is some tooth-paste or'toilet soap at the drug store. Of course Mary Lou doesn’t decide on what she is ming to buy. Her mother writes a list—this brand of crackers, this brand of coffee, this make of tooth-paste, this kind of soap. She knows the prices, and gives Mary Lou just enough money, with an extra penny or two, perhaps, to spend for herself. Buying is just as simple and easy as that becatise of just one thing—Advertising. Advertising has given all of us a lot t0.be thankful for. Because of advertising, people in Texas know about and buy Michigan motor cars. People in New Hampshire buy oranges raised in Florida and California, Becauge of advertis- ing, merchants and manufacturers are forced to improve their, products. It has standardized qaulity. It has increased con- sumption and thereby Iowered costs. It promotes competition and thereby keeps denlexs and merchants wide awake to secure for you the most for your money. | i But best-of ‘all it writes “Finis” on; the business career of any merchant or manufacturer who dttempls to fool the public or give them less than vélue received.
