PARIS, Jan. 16—One month of life as a French villager: has produced the following items: There are severe laws in France dealing with well-poisoning but they don’t mention fish. Aware of this fact the Dutchman who previously lived in our house has planted four carp in our well in revenge for our refusal to pay him for cementing up the sides. We are fattening them up on bread and plan to catch them when the fishing season opens next summer.
Feathered Friends Drop In
A DOLLAR'S WOURTH of wheat and millet, plus a few chunks of suet, have brought many feathered friends to our backyard. Regular boarders now include two nuthatches, three lovely little European robins, a pair of titmouses and every English sparrow east of Land's end. This morning the crows started to arrive. Advertised as a very quiet spot, our village of Les Gressets is very noisy in its own small way. Every house has its watchdog plus a sign on the front gate “Attention—mechant chien (Lookout— vicious dog).” ’ Local sportsmen armed with ancient blunderbusses and mangy dogs shoot larks all around the house. Their salvos were reinforced a few nights ago when a prisoner tried to escape from the mil: itary prison on the next hill and a guard threw six fast shots at or in him. We are awakened every morning by the clopclop of i local lass dashing over the cobblestones in her wooden shoes on the way to work. On New Year's we were nearly scared to death by the local fire laddies. They sneaked up on our house in the predawn hush of 4 a. m,, then suddenly let loose a stirring serenade of drums and trumpets, followed by a rousing cheer. This is an annual performance provided by the “pompiers,” designed to wring tips out of local householders, We rewarded them with 30 cents, locally regarded as a pretty handsome tip. } The can opener, the orange squeezer and other relics of life in America are growing rusty. New gadgets, necessary to life in France, include a coffee mill, a milk. can, a wire cage in which you swing lettuce arqund your head to dry it, a “passoir” or sieve used to grind up cooked vegefables for soup, a “‘cocotte” or deep frying pan of

One of the best things she makes is soup achieved simply by boiling large quantities of leeks, potatoes, carrots and turnips in a huge caldron of water, without using any meat at all. Like practically every other cook in France she prefers pea-
nut oil to olive oil for cooking and for salads. Yet per cent. ,

cocotte.” It tasted like it, too. According to French standards prices for most things are terrifically high. According to American standards they range from high to fairly low. Good anthracite from Belgium or the costs about $33 a ton. Gas enough to heat water for bath costs about 15 cents: Here are some food prices per pound as of Dec. 30, 1949: Cauliflower 10 cents; tomatoes 16 cents; brussel sprouts 15 cents; endive 10 cents; oranges 8! cents; lettuce 12 cents, escarole 8 cents, Leg of lamb 74 cents; tournedos 67 cents; filet steak 51 cents; rumpsteak 51 cents; entrecote 47 cents; pot roast 24 cents; pork chops 54 cents; neck of mutton 28 cents; hamburger 35 cents; liver 40 cents, Butter 94 cents; Dutch cheese 46 salut 57 cents; camembert 12 cents, Langouste lobster $1.35; sole 67 cents; cod 50 cents, s Best Marennes oysters $1.14 per dozen; fine pj

Skilled Wage: 30c an Hour
WITH PRICES at this level most people are thankful to eat bread and soup. A skilled worker in a French automobile plant gets less than 30 cents an hour, As a veteran of a postwar meat situation in New York City we are willing to break down occasionally and have a little piece of entrecote (meat from between the ribs).

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—Turnabout is fair play. Yesterday we listened at length to the ladies of the WCTU denounce the advertising of the demon rum. Today we'll do like the Senators and give a break to the gentlemen who manufacture this salubrious beverage. The ladies still were on tap, though in the Senate caucus room, 500 strong, while the likker boys defended their advertising practices. There was, for instance, Emmet J. Saucy, the portly secretary of tne New Hampshire Wholesale Beverage Association. He drinks beer, so does his family, and they have no apologies to offer the prohibitionists. “And,” cried he, “if liquor ads are banned, why would it not be just as reasonable to prohibit the advertising of automobiles? They Kkill 35.000 or 40,000 people a year. “What's wrong with liquor ads showing welldressed, well-behaved people? Why don’t they make the auto ads.show cars smashed into telegraph poles? Stupid, isn't it?”
Ladies Sniff, Gasp
THE EMBATTLED ladies sniffed audibly and when 500 females do th#t in unison it is something to hear. Along came Edward L. Flanigan, treasurer of the Globe Brewing Co., of Baltimore, Md., who said he believed the beer advertising on television was bringing wholesome entertainment to the American home. The ladies gasped. The third witness was the dignified R. E. Joyce Jr., the president of the Distilled Spirits Institute of Washington. Most of the whisky gents are members. He said that what the drys were trying to do was bring back prohibition; that the bill to prohibit liquor ads was only an opening wedge.
He went on to say that his members had been careful never to advertise whisky in a Suhday newspaper, never to use a woman's picture in a liquor ad. Also that they had been careful to refrain from placing their ads in religious publications. The ladies squealed. Mr. Joyce said taxes were so high and liquor consequently costs so much that bootleggers were going into business all over. He said he expected that the moonshiners were evading taxes at the rate of about $2 million per day. “That's nearly a billion dollars a year,” commented Sen. Owen Brewster (R. Me.), who does not touch the stuff, himself. So all right. The dignified Ellis D. Slater, president of the Frankfort Distillers Corp., Louisville, Ky. produced a portfolio of oversized charts intended to prove that liquor ads never made a drunkard yet.
$4 Billion Cost Set
SEN. BREWSTER got him t) es. imate that the total cost of the consumer of the stuff with alcohol in it per year is $4 billion. This includes federal taxes, whereby Uncle Sam. takes about haif. © “And letiving the liquor industry about $2 billion a year,” Sen. B. continued. Mr. Slater agreed. “Then,” said the Senator, “the bootleg industry is 50 per cent as big today as the legal industry.” The gentlemen gulped. The thought that every third shot of bourbon going down the American hatch is moonshine seemed to catch them una: wares. They got into an inconclusive argument with a number of Senators about how the figures ought to be interpreted. The |adies filed out, looking triumphant. And my guess is that the bill making it a crime to advertise drinking liquor will now be filed in a senatorial pigeon hole for another year.
