ted more than 10000 francs on the at
fair. This success, they said, they
often duplicated at "the Dixie club"
dances they organized.
Knowing that good things must not
be overworked, the men took over the
ice cream making equipment Of the
Y. M. c. A., which has a capacity Of
a thousand gallons an hour, and late
in October began wholesaling "Dixie"
ice cream.
Some Of the most interesting Of the
American business experiences here
are those Of men who married French
girls. Three of these are farming
east of Paris, making more money
than they ever thought possible in the
United States" their business adj
wiser said. One man married into a
dairy shop. Another returned to his
trade of tailoring in the same way.
Scores of American boys are in busi-
ness with their French fathers-in-law.
Introduce Rebuilt Typewriters.
Rebuilt typewriters, familiar to
Americans, have been introduced to
the French by Lieut.. J. L. Mccain OF
Tuscaloosa, Ala, and George E. How
ard of Pasadena Cal. Their difficulty Is
too much business. Isadore Court, who
was paperhanger, boldly set himself
up in the decorating business in a
fashionable suburb. Lieut. S. L. Tyler
of Memphis, Tenn, became merchan-
disc broker. Harry L. Drucker, pho
tographer, returned to his trade.
One man who wanted to bring in
carloads Of automobiles and bicycle
tires turned defeat into success by
opening a tire sale and repair shop.
Another one with the same idea is
awaiting arrival Of a real steam vul-
canizing plant to give Paris q taste Of
fast work. He said virtually all tube
repairs here now are made with &C.
ment patches instead Of vulcanizlng,
and take a week instead Of an hour.
; Newspaper men seem to have landed
on their feet most quickly. Nearly all
Of those who stayed are developing
some idea" outside Of Office hours.
, Ideas for wealth may result in the
establishment Of q chain Of hotels and
restaurants along the battlefront
towns. One young man who missed
the American "shine" is negotiating a
lease for a shoe-shining parlor.

A. DEBT TO HEROES

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be known as the Victory Loan.
 Victory is not merely a matter of jubiIation, accepting surrender of a beaten foe and dropping the gun to take up the blow share in the furrow where it stood when the call to arm came. /
 The Victory Loan is one of the many great obligations that come to the victors. President Woodrow Vii. sen and the members ofthe American peace delegation are now in France looking after the world obligations. Our part now ia to prepare to pay in small measure the debt We owe our khaki and blue clad champions.
 A large part of the money to be raised in the Victory Loan campaign next April will be used for the re- mobilization of our wounded .aen. The government will do it's utmost to re- store every wounded American sold fer and sailor tc health and self supp no-ting activity.
 When the wounded man has been uiven eompIe&e medical and surgical treatment he will be copsiered by the Fedora Poard for Vocational Educa- ton. If his disability prevents re- to work he left at the call of the gov ernment wide choice of occupation is open to him..
 If the injured man needs an artifi- ciaI limb or appliance of any sort the government will provide it. Until his special treatment or training ends he will receive regular compensation and the family will receive the alIot. ments. The war risk insurance will be paid until the end of the vocational training if the course Is elected with out necessity, but in this case the allotments Will not be paid the family.
 Instead of finding dependent crip ples and besgars made SD by an un. appreciative country, they Twill be highly trained heroes whose sacrifices will not be tarnished by lack of sra titude.
