DOLLARS CLINK CHEERY SONGS IN PARIS TILLS French Worry Over Loss of Tourist Trade Allayed As Americans Arrive. I I PARIS, July 12—A deep sigti of relief has gne up from all oVer France, as the first wave of the American summer expeditionary forces sets foot in this country. As was the case ten years ago, America responded when France needed her most. Hotel keepers had grown despondent, travel guides had started to look for jobs elsewhere, and the whole tourist machinery of France had grown rusty. Montmartre was as sad as a convent, but all is changed now. The familiar bell-snaped trousers flop along the boulevards as in past summers. Thick-brimmed straw hats and tortoise-shell rimmed glasses proclaim to all France that the Yanks arc here. The jingle of dollars in their tills is sv.-eet music to French shopkeepers. Feared for Trade For several w r ecks Paris thought that the anti-American demonstraNtions of last summer which drove f American tourists home earlier than they planned to go had not been entirely wiped out by “Slim'’ Lindbergh’s visit. Montmartre is beginning to brighten up again after being dimmed for months. Case terraces ire spreading out over the sidewalks and English is the current language anywhere from the opera to the Louvre. But the best news for Americans is that, since last summer prices have gone down. Paris is suffering from hotel expansion. There are more hotels now than the tourist crowds can All. Fourteen new hotels have been opened since last summer, including three with a total capacity of 2,000 travelers. Competition being the life of the trade, prices have come down with a thud. Theaters, Taxiis Cut Restaurants are slightly cheaper, except the limited circle of de luxe restaurants. The theaters suffered a bad season and reduced prices when they learned a lesson. Taxicabs fares are changed. Paris taxis offer far more for their money than those of any other city of the world. There is unusually heavy booking of student class voyagers on transAtlantic steamers this summer, but many of these tourists will avoid Paris in favor of the French provinces and Belgium, Holland and Germany. The effect already is being seriously felt in PariA where it is estimated there are fifty per cent fewer student tourists than llast summer. With the American Legion convention coming on in September many other tourists will be frightened away from Paris,' fearful of crowded hotels and restaurants and the inevitable rising prices. But du/ing the greater part of that month, thirty thousand carefree Americans are expected to have their fling in Paris. NEGRO RAIDER IS HELD Police Charge Man Caught in Apartment With Burglary. James Robinson, 18, Negro, 247 W. Michigan St., is in city jail charged with robbery, drawing deadly weapons and petit larceny. He was arrested in the basement of the Pemberton Apts., 1428 N. New Jersey St., late Monday afternoon by the emergency squad in charge of Sergeant Deeter. Robinson entered the apartment house and. encountering Grover Wells, 921 E. St. Clair St., ordered him to “stick them up.’’ When Wells refused, he was knocked to the ground, the fail cutting a hole in his head. Robinson fled, but returned in a short time and held Mrs. Jane Beck, 1428 N. New Jersey St., at the point of his gun. He ran down to the basement when she screamed. Police were called and he was found hidden in a coal bin in the basement. Robinson admitted visiting other apartments in the building and taking small articles, police staid.

Church and School Wars Rage at Galveston, Ind.

Town of 691 Population Has Two Battles at One Time. Bu Times Special GALVESTON, Ind., July 12.—This town of 691 population is engaged in two wars at once—church and school. Rev. William Harrington, Universalist church pastor, says pastors of other denominations tried to “freeze out” his flock in the matter of union meetings during the summer. Rev. Harrington says he is least peeved at Rev. A. Nicodemus of the United Brethren church than any of the other ministers, because the Brethren pastor plainly said he did not want to be a party to union services including the. Universalists because he did not desire to appear as indorsing their doctrines. The school war results from an attempt by the township trustee to transfer Galveston pupils from the town’s school to a township school. The official asserts that the township which bears half the expense of the town school, has found the arrangement a losing venture, hence his desire to transfer the pupils. diesln wedding gown Lonely Widow Takes Own Life to Go to Meet Husband. NEW YORK, July 12.—Dressed in her wedding gown of the ’9os, with its sleeves bulking above the white bedspread, Mrs. Marie Moffett, 55 years old, committed suicide by gas in her basement room at 338 East Eighty-third St., a year to the day since her husband died. The motive for the suicide was easily found, so carefully had the woman planned her death. It was contained in a note written in German: “I am not suited for this world and I long to see my husband’s face. Soon I will be with him.”

LEARN TO FLOAT ON WATER IN STARTING TO SWIM

The first step in swimming, gliding motionless on the surface in prone position, teaches the correct position for swimming the crawl. Stand with back to any upright surface which affords a resting place for one foot. Bend one leg at knee, resting other at pool side. Stoop forward from the waist, head near surface, with arms thrust forward at water level, palms down and hands touching. Asa deep breath is taken, push off with upraised foot and stretch to full length. The body should form a straight line from fingers to toes. Hold this as long as possible. If you need air or start to sink, lift the head, press downward with both arms and lower one leg like you were stepping forward. The push should result in a glide of several yards. After a few glides, try moving the legs up and down alternately so that as one rises the other drops. Keep legs straight but relaxed. Keep feet pointed pigeon-toed. Make movements rather fast, in an easy thrash. Don't let the feet lift the water. When you perfect the leg movements, try the arms. Thrash them forward. Don’t try to do too much at first, but perfection of this exercise, although one may not realize it, should result in the ability to swim a few yards after the first lesson.

CAPTURE LESS LIQUOR; ARREST MOREPEDDLERS U. S. Sleuths Either Become Adept, or More Citizens Violate Law. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY United Presi Stafl Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 12.—Either more citizens are violating the prohibition law or sleuths are becoming more adept at catching bootleggers, it developed today at the national conference of dry administrators.

Home Brewing—On increase. Home Wine Making—On Increase. Smuggling—Sharply curtailed by coast guard, except from Canada.
