A—10 OPPOSE SENDING EXPOLUSTOU.S. F{‘ench Deputies Are Chary of “Voting Joy-Ride on Eve of Elections. Bithe Assoclated Press. “PARIS, March 20.—The proposal to send a group of French war veterans to the United States this Summer, to re- turn the visit of the American Legion to-France in 1927, is coming in for con- siderable criticism in and out of Parlia- ment. The deputies, who are to pass upon the credits for the trip (which Premier Tardieu's government has already ap- proved), are a bit chary of voting a! Jjoy ride on the eve of the elections vith a budget which admittedly is balanced only on paper, they feel it might be suicidal to tack on another item according a favor to a worthy though privileged cless of citizens. Prefer to Help Needy. Even the ex-service men themselves eye the proposition a bit askance. Many of thelr number have been out of work during the past Winter and they think that if the government has any largesses to distribute to the country's defenders it should go to the needy at home and not to swell the receipts of steamship lines tourist _agenci As M. Maurice Randoux, general sec- retary of the Federal Union of Ex- Service Men's and War Victims' Asso- clations, puts it: “We have comrades who are dying of hunger. With the millions that the trip would cost, let us build or rent some houses and offer them daily soup and bread. But no gala parties on luxurious liners as long as poverty reigns in our ranks.” i Question of Dignity. Moreover, M. Randoux says there is 8 question of national dignity involved. He does not want ex-poilys to go to the United States until the question of the war debts is settled in & manner satis- factory to France. Never, he maintains, has the Amer- fcan Legion raised its voice in favor of a cancellation or attenuation of the French debt. The mundane commentators of the French press, however, tell M. Randoux that he shouldn’t have such scruples. Parliament, they say, is naturally gen- erous and if it voted the credits for France's participation at the Las An- goles Olympic games it should do the same for the heroes of the bigger and more important game that was played between 1914 and 1918 on the north- ern and eastern fields of France.

CHICAGO, March 29.—Henry Herbert, 22, tried to blame his favorite radio crooner for his troubles, but Judge J. Willlam Brooks had different iders. Herbert said that the low wave radio set he had in his car was to listen to the crooner do his crooning, but the police said he made a practice of robbing stores and then fleeing while hearing his description and alleged mis- deeds broadcast over the police radio. It's against the law in Illinois to have an automobile equipped with a radio capable of receiving police calls, and Zudge Brooks sentenced Herbert to six months in jail. Police sald they believed it was the first conviction under the law.

Every wish that you may entertain and every tentative plan that you may make concerning the eventual distribution of your estate will amount to nothing if you do not express them in a valid Will. _Therefore, if you have a plan for the division of your property, or if you feel that you could conserve your estate for the best interest of your heirs by establishing certain trusts, make a Will. It lisa simple matter to see your lawyer and have your Will drawn. It is also an important matter, because your Will should be free from any legal entanglement. It is equally important that in your Will you name a competent executor and trustee, such as the American Security and Trust Company.
