Paris. France, July 13.-Raymond
Poincare. the French premier, deliv-
cred a notable address at the annual
dinner of the Anglo-American Press
association, which includes the Ameri-
can and British newspaper correspon-
dents in Paris Rejecting the words
of the POSTMASTER Of the evening, the
premier declared that journalists could
do much to develop the harmony and
friendship which exists between France,
the United States and Great Britain.
You know France at first hand; you
see her at work" declared NJ POin-
care. You know that if France
wishes to be powerful, she wishes at
the same time to place her power to-
wards the development of peace and
civilization throughout the world.
France is a nation of noble ideas and
generous sentiments Say it, repeat it,
endeavOr to be between our three cOun-

States consul general, and B. J. ShOn-
niger, president of the American Cham
Der of Commerce at Paris.
Wireless Phenomenon.
A curious wireless telegraphy phe-
nOmenOn has been discovered at the
railroad station of Clichy-Levallois,
near the gates of Paris. Electricians
who touched the wires of a large col

not been connected with any system
received severe electrical shocks. An
investigation by the state railway en-
gineers revealed that the shocks were
the powerful wireless station at the
top Of the Eiffel tower. 4 receiving
station was established by way of 4
test and telegraph sapper was able
to intercept wireless messages de-
spatched from the EiffeI tower and 9TH
er stations.
By pure chance the collection of tel
egraph wires at Clichy-Levallois rail-
way station fills all the necessary con-
dluOnS Of height distance and position
to receive the Eiffel tower commune
cations. The incident has caused great
interest in scientific circles, as a wire
less post especially erected on the top
of a schoOlhOuse in Paris has never
been able to intercept messages from
the tower.
Great Expense to Railroad.
A good IDEA of the great expense in
the naturalization of railroads, so far
as 1t has proceeded in France, is OBJ
tainable from an official report Just
distributed in the chamber of depu-
ties. According to this estimate the
deficit on the stateOwned Western rail-
road for the current year is SIC, 600, 900.
NJ Henri CherOn. the author of the
attributes this deficit to the
cost Of maintaining the line the in
crease in the number of employees and
the augmentation of wages The re-
port points out. however. that the SER
vice, hitherto deplOrable, has been in
cOntestably improved Before the
Western railroad was taken over by
the state. the deficit amounted to about
s., 900, 900. Since the naturalization of
the line in 1911, the French government
has expended in improvements about
$4,000, 600

Carrots Healthy Diet.
Since Prof. Metchnikoff has been
writing on the value of carrots for
general health that homely vegetable
las found a regular place on the menu
f home and restaurant in Paris It |
las been remembered that carrots form
art of the daily food at Vichy, and
he chefs at the big hotels are invent
ng recipes to satisfy the taste of the
moment.
Cressy soup. as everybody knows. is
tut mashed carrots diluted with milk |
nd at the fashionable gatherings in 1
he Bots de BoulOgne restaurants on J.
friday evenings there is scarcely a
able where this soup is not served.
Carrots, according to Prof. Metchni-
if. contain a sugar that kills bacil-
is that prevents our attaining the age

rites of comforting a fine complexion
