In riew of the contents of the speech, it would be -rather difficult" for them to attend. Do you suppose they realize, because of what is taking place in Germany, that making a speech on peace is also- "rather difficult?" When women agree with husbands not to spend money on presents for each other but stead, to buy a "house gift," they mean just that with a secret hope that husbands will break the agreement just a little bit.

And they should! We've been told by men who have succeeded gloriously In the business of being a husband that, mcst of all, women appreciate receiving some little luxury which their every-dsy of economy tells them they can't afford. Our government Is considering selling some of our surplus gold to the South American-countries. If Ve finally decide to do that, why nut send for the diplomats to come home immediately from the pan-American conference and just Jet the money do the talking? "Jitter bugs who dance to swing," announces the leader of a popular orchestra, "appear to lacK restraint simply because they abandon the complexes and conventions that have hindered the development of personality." What he said abo. complexes may be right but we've attinded many conventions and we hadn't noticed that conventions restrained anybody much! Every dispatch concerning tin indictment of fieorte Burns, the radio star, on the charge of smuggling contained the sinister Information that the MAXIMUM penalty is IS years in prison and fine of Like many other press notices from Hollywood, ouly the colossal and superlative terms are used. Indications are that i i fMm gu, tjrtfter C0D8Ul; tL ltorn- mu ne may atso appear as a gov- eminent witness.

Evidently i does not expect to qualify for the maximum sentence: This time of year, many mothers are finding "Angels With Dirty Faces" right in their own homes. But youngsters "tip off" the reason for the angelic be. havior when they Impatiently Inquire, Mother, how r.i-.ny days is it 'til Christmas?" From Europe comes the warning not to be surprised if Germany forms an alliauce with Russia. We shouldn't be surprised at that or anything! In these days the last Ume anyone is surprised Is when he finds out there isn't any Santa Claual Fleeting memory Remember when we Went skating down on the "crick" and the cute little girl whom all the boys admired was mere and how all of us beys fought for the honor of Dueling her skates?

Koehler Says More Suitable Sites for School Available. Mrs. Mafhiloe F. Koehler, whose home at the northeast corner of Locust and Brady is the object of erndemnation proceedings instituted by the Davenport board of education to secure possession of the premises as the site for a new grade school, declared Wednesday in an interview that she Is refusing to sell her home to the board only because she believes several equally favorable, if not more suitable, sites are available. "Like all civic minded Davenport citizens, I want our city to possess a fine public school system," Mrs.

t'oehler said. "If I felt that there was actually no alternative to this site for a school building I would not. resist. "As a matter of fact, however, the school board has considered several siteg that are equally desirable. One of these plans calls for the closing of East Pleasant street for one block, and buying the Putnam property, which would establish the new school grounds from the north line of that property southward to the north line of my property.

If this does not provide sufficient I am repeating, what I have already told the school board, I will concede 75 feet and, if necessary, 100 feet of the north end of my property to them for this school. "There is also a vacant tract of land east of the club, now an eyesore, which could be used in conjunction with the Putnam property at a considerable saving of money. I maintain that the cost of tearing down my home which by their words to me would be a 'tremendous cost' would offset to a considerable extent incidental costs of all other plans. 'It seems obvious, too. that there will be a traffic hazard for children if a school building is located directly at the busy intersection of Locust and Brady streets, two of the principal traffic arteries of Davenport This opinion has been advanced to me 'by many parents in thit sehojl district.

''Because these other sites- can be secured, and are equally advantageous for school purposes, I have refused to consider offers for the purchase of my home. I do not wish to move this late Ijt life I want to spend the few years remaining to me under this same roof. "Nothing would please me more than to see my home used for some public purpose after my death. It would make an ideal setting for an art gallery, or some other civic institution. I intend to provide that the city shall have a first option for securing this property in my will, subject to agreement with my heirs." The Koehler home was built in 3876 and is a fine example of English type of architecture.

It is placed In the center of a beautifully wooded tract and has always been one of the show places of the city. CHICAGO ALUMNI OF ST.

Holler, genet al sales manager, who has Just completed his fifth year as Chevrolet general sales manager. It was broneht out in an interview lu New York as the automobile show started that 4.1S7.71S new cars and trucks were sold by company dealers during his administration, while at the same time they were selling used cars, according to information received by the Black-tiawk Chevrolet Co. of Davenport. "The volume achieved by Chevrolet dealers during the last five years exceeded the largest company records for any previous five year period. Including the boom years of 1929 and 1928 by 750.417 new passenger car and tnick sales, and 1.849,012 used car sales," said Mr.

Holler. "During this same five year period Chevrolet dealers sold M2.519 trucks, and this exceeds by 250.916 truck sales any previous five year truck sales in the 27 years' history of the company. "This outstanding selling record actually obtained for the company six years results in "five years of selling, and is a testimony to the co-operative selling ability of 8.900 Chevrolet dealers in the United States." "When fundamental policies are established that are fair and equitable to dealer organizationand then they are carefully and conscientiously administered year by year accumulated confidence and rlling strength bears results not obtained by any other temporary activities or Mr, Holler said. "We attribute this six year record of results, obtained jn "otilv i -am i a me qua if (lea er Program, with its elimination of over-packing of dealer, and its annointment nf Uitll ffittKOfnilillt alrantOi. eninz of the entire Chevrolet mer- chandising structure as it deals with the buying public.

"The ultimate consumer has already discovered that the Chevrolet dealer Is a permanent establishment in the community, with his growing strength, financial independence and merchandising and set vice reputation. "Such other policies as the planning partnership where there is a committee of 10 dealers on new car planning and 10 dealers on used car planning in every one of the 45 zones in the United States enable Chevrolet dealers to transmit directly the practical merchandising plans and programs that they feel are necessary for their own interests and the interest of their own communities: And when these are brought thru the regions and national committees in Detroit they become national policies which immediately affect the sales policies making them most practical In field operations."
