FRANCE READY FOR TOURISTS.

The problem of receiving the thousands- of automobile tourists that are - expected to go to Paris from America next summer has already been 'tackled by the authorities of that country. Instructions have been sent out to the prefects of the department of France that proper facilities may be accorded the visiting motorist. The instructions provide that American tourists will not be compelled to have theiy cars inspected by the Service des Mines, if such cars already have a circulation permit issued in the United States and are duly registered in that country. Tourists also will not have to pass a driver’s examination if they have an American driver’s license. Two cards will .'be issued to each tourist presenting his car—a gray card covering the registration of the automobile and a pink card for the driver. . . To take advantage of this con- ' cession, the tourist must present tile American receipt for the decla--1 ration of the car and the American ■ driver’s permit. In the absence of these certified copies will 'be accept- ’ ed. Two unmounted photographs of the driver must be attached to the pind card. On landing, a receipt ' for >20.20 francs (>3.91 at normal r exchange) will -be paid to the col- । lector of direct taxation. I ■' ■
