WET, WET PATH IS MAPPED FOR FRENCH TOURS SIOO Provides 15-Day Trip and All the Liquor One Can Drink. tt i Unit'd Prren PARIS, May 14— A wet trail lies ahead of the American tourist who buys the French government's new SIOO inclusive tourist ticket. The inclusive tickets are the latest means by which the French high commission of tourists hones to win back the golden stream of American dollars. The commission does not intend to get out separate tickets for wets and drys. On the contrary, the ticket not only will include all accommodations during the fifteenday tour, but will provide every kind of drink France has to offer —wines, beers and hard ciders. And No Refunds, Either If the American tourist is determined to abstain from alcoholic beverages, however, he may obtain mineral waters in place of the liquors, but he can not get a refund lor what he docs not drink. “When in France do as the Frenchmen do,” seems to be the motto of M. Gaston Gerard, high commissioner of tourists. It was his idea to make the tours wet. He felt that if tourists could learn to drink French wines and find that they are not intoxicating, some day, perhaps, America might revoke her prohibition laws, or at least relax them a bit. Tickets Ready Thursday The government department is hard at work on the “see France fifteen days for $100” scheme. The government is not going to go into the actual business of selling the tickets. This will be done by tourist agencies, but there will be a certain stock kept in French consulates around the world. The tickets will be ready by Thursday, when the regular summer invasion starts. Last year France saw her tourist business drop 25 per cent. This year it is hoped to attract at least 100,000 more tourists by the new' scheme, adding another $10,000,000 to her revenues.

‘Original Radio Girl’ Sings to Rout Worries of Her Audience

Thi* 1* the second of two articles about Vaughn de Lcath, famooa radio crooning atar. another of the aerie* which The Time* i publishing about broadcasting notables. The next two articles, appearing Thursday and Friday, will tell the stories of Freddie Rich of New York's rsi side, and Howard Barlow. country boy, who took opposing paths to radio success as orchestra conductors. Sitting alongside Vaughn De Leath on a comfortable divan in the studio-parlor of her New York apartment, you seem to feel that here might be the makings of a new comedienne—another Marie Dressier or Sophie Tucker, a crooning comic who might be to radio what the other two have been to the stage and the movies. There is a naturally humorous expression on her face, and there are constant quips on her lips. Yet Vaughn de Leath still is serious. She confesses it the moment any one talks to her about her work. “I don’t want just to entertain,” she remarks wistfully. “I want my fans to feel, through my voice, the unity of mankind that my music might convey to them. “I want to make people forget their worries and their little wranglings, and I want to give them a

message that will help them go on living happily and successfully.” And she goes on to tell of the despondent girl who had been on the verge of suicide when she heard Vaughn de Leath's voice through the loud speaker. The crooning melody averted a tragedy. It's the same old story, but Vaughn has letters that praise and thank her for just such benevolences through her singing. Her fan mail proves it. One letter she prizes is dated Jan. 4, 1920. It recalls the days when she was the first woman to broadcast on the air, as early as 1919, when she haa to climb three flights of rickety spiral stairs and sing into an old phonograph horn in a dingy tower room. Later she was graduated to the more spacious, but long antiquated, studios of WJZ on Forty-third street, and now she has the freedom and advantages of a more scientifically appointed studio in the NBC building. “The Original Radio Girl,” she calls herself, and most radio artists concede that title to her. “Os course,” she reminds you, “I was also on the stage, and I’m still busy composing music. I was in the stage show of ‘Laugh,

Clown, Laugh,’ with Lionel Barrymore.” “But we like now to go back to our home near Westport, Conn.,” her husband intervenes, ‘where we have a colorful old house on a seven-acre tract, or to our little log cabin on a ten-acre plot nearby. There Vaughn likes to go back to her collection of earrings—and she has a marvelous collection of them—or to her cooking, which is her second hobby. “She hires a cook and learns all his recipes, or she gives him some of her own recipes. She always likes to putter around in her kitchen.” “And don't forget,” Miss De Leath, or Von der Lieth, or Mrs. Geer, as you prefer, responds, “Mr. Geer isn't just one of these sissy artists. He’s a regular heman. He likes to go home to Westport and chop wood, and hoe the garden, and I like to help him with the garden, too. “For you know,” she adds, “that garden of flowers and shrubs is developed from, seeds sent to me by fans in every state of the union.” ARABS’ PLEA FAILS Negotiations With British Government Fails. By United Pres* LONDON, May 14.—Settlement of questions concerning Arab rights in Palestine appeared distant today, with negotiations between the British government and the Palestine-Arab delegation ended at least for the present. An official communique from the British colonial office announced termination of the conversations. The government found it impossible to accept sweeping constitutional changes the delegation had proposed.

TALK WHISKY’S MEDICAL VALUE Place in Drugs Standard to Be Argued. By Seiencedscrvice WASHINGTON. May 14 —Whether whisky and brandy should have a place in the United States pharmacopoeia, legal standard for drugs, in this country and Cuba, is a problem to be settled by the United States pharmacopoeial convention meeting here this week. This convention will select the committee on revision which prepares the next edition. The pharmacopoeia is revised only once in ten years. ! At the time of the last decennial revision in 1920. just after the Eighteenth amendment, whisky and brandy triumphantly resumed the place in the pharmacopoeia that they had lost by previous revisions. From 1900 to 1920 they iiad been rout. The question of whether they should be in or out comes up at every revision. Wines, which once were given a place, have not been in the last pharmacopoeia, and probably definitely are eliminated. But whisky is another matter. Another angle of the problem is seen in the discussion as to whether the pharmacopoeia should include all the drugs that are prescribed to any extent by physicians, or just

those drugs of proved efficacy. A number of physicians believe that whisky and brandy are of distinct value in certain conditions.
