■FRANCE COULD PAY DEBTS TO U. S. WITH WINE Liquor Control System of Sweden Would Help Solve Problem. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Krripp* Frel*n Editnr. WASHINGTON. May 20. The writer set forth Thursday how adoption of the Bwedlsh liquor control system would enable Uncle Sam to collect the $22,000,000,000 allied war debt and still let the allies off for 50 cents on the dollar. Here is how it would work out with Great Britain, France and Italy. Specifically, these three nations alone owe the United States more money than nineteen billions of the total of twenty-two billions. Under the debt settlement. France must pay the United States $6.*50.000.000, principal and interest, over a period of sixty years—an average of $115,000,000 a year. That aha will make any such payments, in gold, over any such span of time, is considered out of the question. In normal years prior to the World war, the United States made, imported, and consumed something like 50.000,000 quarts of brandy. At $2 a bottle, retail price here. This would fetch SIOO,OOO 000. Americans consumed another $20,000,000 worth of champagnes. Bordeaux, Burgundy and other French wines. The United States could obtain from France, on account of war debts, this $120,000,000 worth of brandy, wines and liqueurs, or payment in full of the average annual installment. Yet France, on her part, would have to pay her producers only the wholesale price, or approximately $.50,000,000. By crediting France with the retail price in the United States, less handling charges, she thus would be able to pay her war debts to this country for less than 50 cents on the dollar.

ASSAILS TALK ! ON TAX BURDEN Showalter Says Shouting Is Propaganda. Much of the shouting about greatly reduced assessed valuations and huge mounting tax delinquencies is "pure propaganda inspired by executive secretaries of organizations I created to capitalize on the present I economic dilemma,' James Showalj ter, chairman of the state tax board, I charged today. To support his contention he exI hibited a tax report filed with the board by Byron Nickels, auditor of 1 Union county. Although this is the first report filed, Showalter asserted. the county is typical of the rural and small town areas, where much of the propaganda work is being done The Union county report showed that real estate assessments were but 12.93 per cent less than last year and personal property 155 per cent. In the six townships of the county, farm lands were 18 per cent lower in valuation. Average delinquency for the spring tax payment was only 4 per cent, which is above a normal year, according to Showalter. The farm land delinquencies ran from 2 to 6 i per cent a township. In addition, 80 per cent of the old delinquencies were paid this spring, > the tax board chairman said.

STOP WORRYING IF YOUR CHILD j ACTS LIKE DOG Scientist Says It’s Not Unusual or Harmful: Just Inherited. By Vnilri Prr** WASHINGTON, May 20.—1f Jun- ' ior doesn’t come running when : mother calls him by name, she might get results by calling "Here, Fido! Here, Fido!” Instances of children who acted like dogs and apparently wanted to be dogs were cited by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian insti- j [ tution in a report on animal behavior in youngsters. He told of others who neighed like a horse or held their bottles with their toes—and of many who liked to eat mud. The scientist assured fond parents that they need not worry over such manifestations in their offspring. Dr. Hrdlicka said children seem to speak and understand the "language of animals” and mimic their gestures in such detail that it is difficult to believe their behavior is purely imitative. He thinks perhaps the crawling child considers itself a lower animal rather than a human being. This behavior he found particularly among lonely children. It may be, he says, a manifestation of inheritances from far-removed pre- j human ancestors. A small boy and a pig wallowed together in a mud puddle on a western farm. They grunted at each other and rooted together. This child, Dr. Hrdlicka explained, had no playmates and his parents were too busy to give him much attention: so he considered himself a pig and acted in every particular like one. The pig-boy is now an honor student at an eastern college. Another child clucked loudly and often. He was imitating horses’ ' hoof beats it seemed. Another 1 barked like a dog and was able to

duplicate the special bark of each dog In his neighborhood. Dr. Hrdlicka intimated that the parents of one dog-child might well have posted a "beware of the dog" sign on their fence. With all its three teeth this infant would snap and bite at persons' legs when angered. Other imitated squirrels and jays. Another the drinking method of quadrupeds when bottle-fed. holding the bottle between both fingers and toes. Dr. Hrdlicka found dirt-eating extremely common among infants. Dirt eaters aren’t hungry, he said, •but time after time they will steal back to their favorite mud restaurant and have some nice, juicy sod garnished with herbs.
