It was in 1920 that young Colonel Ismet joined Mustafa Kemal in Anatolia. By 1922, he had driven the Greeks cut of Anatolia and Smyrna and in this period and thereafter he was Kemal Ataturk’s chief mili- tary aide. He added to his lau- rels, when, at the 1923 Lausanne conference, he ran rings around British and [Italian diplomats and won for Turkey virtually its demands, He was one of few men who re- tained the confidence of Ataturk to the end. He was a firm and exact- ing and, at times, ruthless ruler of the army, and is said to lack none of the traditional specifications of the iron man. It is apparent that Ismet Inonu is intent on keeping Turkey diplomat- ically liquid, that he fully realizes the bargaining power of Turkey's hegemony over the Moslem bloc, and that he probably will use this and other strategic assets in mak- ing some shrewd bargains. snl nn ALL, austere Sumner Welles, a deft precisionist in career diplo- i } i i state, but off-stage he's the key-man of a critical in- ternational en- counter and a Samner Welles A Specialist in S.

He helped initiate and has diligently fostered the ‘‘good neighbor’ policy in Latin-America, and his radio ad- dress urging a get-together in the Western hemisphere received a good press in those countries. But a bad press in Germany. His plea for joint defense against “any threat of attack” is in interesting contrast to his speeches of a year ago, when he appealed to the “nations of the world for a new world order, based on justice and law.” He weighs the actualities of trade, finance and the collective safety and solvency of the Western world.

Some need a hint while others need a kick to make good their I. 0. U's. The owner of that North Carolina store the kids called “OLD MAN CASH.” What the grown-ups called him, I dunno. It was said that he was a mind reader because he was always able to arrange to be at the spot where you had to look at that sign, and him, too, when you wanted credit. His cold stare and that sign caused stuttering of *““the promise to pay tomorrow.” It was told that some could not even utter the stutter when facing him and his sign. In later years, after his retirement, speaking of his experience, he said, “There was a time when I was a Santa Claus and some folks seemed to think every day was December twenty-fifth, and no week had a pay day and no month, a first. It was then I decided to change my store habits and if possible the habits of some of my towns-people.” After thinking things over awhile, I made up my mind to adver- tise. I reasoned it out that » general alarm in the WEEKLY, the only paper in town, to tell about my store, the goods and the new policy of paying, would hit everybody and it would help me save shame-faces—some might feel sheepish while reading my adver tisements and have a hears, I got interested in advertising. I found other people, some them my customers, read advertisements, so I helped it along the best 1 knew how. I put gingersnap words in my ments and some humor, and that's how the idea came POOR TRUST IS DEAD sign.
