Takes More Than Two to Make a Quarrel--Cobb BY imiN S.

COBB NEW YORK, Oct. Whenever anybody speaks of the matter of that little debt as a dispute between America and France, I'm reminded of the old story of the professional peace-maker who on a Saturday evening came upon a married couple engaged in what be thought was a violent quarrel and begged of them to desist. Whereupon the husband denied hotly there was any quarrel. "To quarrel, you've got to have a difference of opinion, ain't you?" he asked. "To be sure," admitted the peacemaker "Well friend," said the husband, there ain't no difference of opinion here My wife thinks I ain't going to give her any of my week's wages--and I know dern well I ain't."

Ninde, from the witness stand today In the Investigation Into her administration of the 1925 census with having endorsed her secretary's name to 33 expense account checks made out to Mrs Ninde. Mrs. Knapp. whose selection to the state cabinet post was widely hailed by feminists, retired the first of the year and now is dean of the College of Home Economics at Syracuse University.

She was the first woman to be elected to cabinet office In the state. Mrs Ninde testified that of $3,345.90, represented by expense Vouchers drawn in her name, she had received nothing. Forty-five checks were offered in evidence, the signatures endorsing 33 of those she identified as the hand writing of Mrs Knapp, another she said in her opinion was signed by the former secretary of state, while was unable to recognize the hand writing on the other eleven. Mrs Nlnde's testimony was given with apparent reluctance. She testified she had never received the amounts represented the 33 checks and that she had not been Indebted to Mrs.

Knapp. These expense accounts, ostensibly to covei the cost of trips made by Mrs. Ninde in the interest of the census, actually covered expenses of trips for a variety of purposes, personal and official, and to a variety of places within and without the state, some of which Mrs Ninde swore she either had never been in at all or had not been in at the time mentioned In the account Never Collected Money.

TWIN LAKES, Colorado, Oct.

Associated Press) His neck broken by a fall into a shallow prospect hole, the body of Richard Mather, wealthy resident of Niagara Falls, was found near here today Mather had been missing since October 2nd, when he started to climb the lofty slopes of Mount Elbert A short time after he started his ascent a blizzard swept the peak and the New York man evidently was rush- Ing lor shelter when he stumbled into the five foot hole that caused his death. He was near the base of the peak and only about) two miles from a well traveled road Searching parties set out to hunt for Mather the same day that he began his climb. Experienced mountaineers made up the parties that searched the snow-clad mountain for miles around. Frederick Lovelace, power company official of Niagara Palls'and stepfather of Mather arrived here several days ago and enlisted additional help. Yesterday Mather's gloves and field glasses were found near where his body was discoveied today Mather was accompanied here by a Mrs.

Mather She remained at a hotel, where he started his climb. After he disappeared dispatches from Niagara Falls said that Mather had a wife there who declared she had never been divorced from him. Mather, who was thirty-three years old, was an experienced mountain climber and before he came here had ascended numeious peaks in the vicinity of Colorado Spilngs and Trinidad, Colorado.

ID -(By Associated Press.) A northeast rain storm, with low-hanging fogs which drenched Old Orchard throughout the day, forced the crew of tbe Sikorsky plane, The Dawn, to turn to pursuits other than aviation today. The mechanics found It impossible even to work on the plane, so cold and damp was everything they touched. The weighing of the plane, with Its lull load and the testing and correcting of the land gear retraction, were put over until tomorrow. Mrs. Frances W.

The' afternoon was spent in shopping In Bld.de- ford and Portland, while those who re- i nwlned at the hotel clung close to warmth of the fireplace. Tonight the party attended special services at the Congregational church In Saco. With apparently no probability of the weather becoming favorable to a second start before Saturday or Sunday, there was much speculation as to the tune limit within which a flight might be attempted. Brlce Qoldsborough, navigator, to whom Mrs.

Qrayson referred questioners, said that the averages over several years showed that there remained about two weeks before winter cold over the Atlantic would force postponement until spring.
