PARIS. July 31-Sea bathing In water
conveyed by pipe line is the latest
scheme being considered by the Govern
ment for the comfort of Parlsians who
are unable to leave the capital during
the hot summer months. Although It is
too late to put the scheme into effect
this summer It may be completed next
year.
The idea was said to have been sub
mitted to NJ. Alvarez OF the Department
Of Roads and Bridges. as corollary to
the scheme for bringing mazout or.

means Of pipe lines three feet In dame
ter. Two such pipe lines are to be built
in the hope Of solving the Industrial
fuel problem, and II was asserted that
II would be as easy to lay three such
lines as II would to construct two of
them, with the third line to carry salt
water to huge reservoir near Paris,
where tired workers might rebuild their
vlgor and health over Sunday. 1t was
suggested that the greatest cJst con-

PARIS. July 31.-CallfornIa husbands

According to recent statistics, there

DR.. Carnot said that he had received

FRANCE WON'T SELL
TOBACCO MONOPOLY
Government Again Denies
That Negotiations Are in
Contemplation.

PARIS, July 31.--Another nall was
hammered in the coffin OF the constantly
recurring report that American to-
bacco manufacturers were negotiating
with the French Government for the
purchase Of the tobacco monopoly here
when the department charged with the
manufacture of cigars and cigarettes
announced that neither its administra-
tive head nor the Ministry OF Finance
had ever been brought in contact with
American representatives who were Said
to have come to France to close the
deal.
Moreover, we are not considering
any such project" the official statement
said.
It was said in official circles here that
there was no doubt tnat the Americans
wanted the monopoly, but the French
Government has a permanent mission in
the United States which Is dealing
with tobacco growers to purchase the
necessary stocks.
Reports Of negotiations by Americans
for the French tobacco monopoly have
caused much anxiety among members
Of the Chamber Of Deputies, who have
used tobacco shop privileges as favors
to faithful election aides. The cor
respondent of THE SUN AND New York
HERALD was informed that Frederic
Francois Marsal, Minister of Finance,
had received numerous letters from
Deputies who demanded the truth re-
Rarding the report, and that NJ. Marsal
invariably replied with a fiat denial, de-
claring that France did not intend to
sell her tobacco monopoly. although
$400, 900, 900 undoubtedly was an inter-
esting bait
It was suggested here that while the
Government may not be negotiating for
the sale Of the tobacco monopoly, 1t was
quite possible that the groundwork was
being laid for negotiations by Americans
in unofficial talks with French bankers
and parliamentarians, but such unoffi-
clal talks would have little weight, as
the whole power rests with the Govern
ment. which will. not sell the monopoly
unless in more dire straits than at
present.
Another official denial was made by
Frederic Francois Marsal, Minister Of
Finance. OF reports that France was
considering selling her tobacco monopoly
either to Americans or to Britons. How
ever, his denial was accepted by certain
well informed persons as designed to
allay opposition before the Govern
ments plans in connection with the
monopoly are matured. The French
Government must resort to unusual
ways of getting money to meet the
nations obligations. and this is one Of
the ways which, It is believed here, may
be announced In due time.

PARIS HAS ABSINTHE
IN SPITE OF DECREE
Deputies Line Up for Fight on
Return of Drink to Cafes.

PARIS, July 31.-The anti-liquor ele-
ment in the French Chamber OF Depu-
ties is planning a fight TO the death
against the return Of absinthe to the
French cafes. Despite the prohibition
decree, which was issued just before the
European war. there is hardly a cafe
in Paris, in either the wealthy or the
poor quarters. where II is not possible
to get a drink of absinthe, which, ac-
cordng to scientists, was responsible for
the decreasing birth rate in France and
for filling the insane asylums and hospi-
tails in the years Immediately preceding
the great war.
The drink being served here now Is
not known as absinthe, however. but the

The problem is not without its eco

from the sale OF absinthe reached the

minutes while a telephone operator ad-
tusts her hairpins before answering a
call, a Paris telephone subscriber is
lucky II he gets a satisfactory connec-
tlon. even for a short distance cali in
hours.
In fact. the telephone situation here
has become so serious that the Govern
ment has decided that there must be bet
ter service II commerce Is not to Suffer.
Therefore 1t has asked for an estimate
of the cost OF a thorough overhaul!ng
Of the ancient telephone system now in
use here. Accordingly plans are being
prepared by NJ, Deschamps, Minister OF
Posts and Telegraphs, In collaboration
with Yves lie Trocquer. Minister Of Pub
lie Works, and Frederic Francois-Marsal,
Minister of Finance.
The plans will call for the expenditure
OF a billion and half francs, which will
include the cost of installation Of an
automotic telephone service and extern
sions OF the system over several thou
sand miles throughout the provinces.
AS compared with other European
countries, France is backward in the use
Of the telephone, having only seventy
seven offices for each 10000 Of popula-
ton. while England. Sweden, Denmark.
Norway and Germany have as high as
400 offices for each 10000 of popula-
ton.
NJ. Marsal hopes to recover the cost
OF improving and extending the service
by increasing the telephone subscription
rates by 20 per cent.
In view OF the fact that to telephone
from Paris to Versailles. a distance Of
Ave miles, II requires whole afternoon,
business men are urging the passage of
a law to authorize the necessary I'M
provements to the system before the ad-
journment Of the Chamber OF Deputies
and the Senate.

The board of education has called
another special bond election for next
Friday, the Gath, to vote the addition
al bonds legalized by the increase Of
the debt limit. They amount to $780,
600, on the basis Of the present valu-
alton Of the district. The funds will
be needed next spring TO continue the
construction work on the new build
ing, but the board wishes to be able
to get in an application to- the state
for the sale of these bonds as early
as possible. There is waiting list
for the state funds as they become
available, and the further down the
list we are. the longer it will be before
we can get any money from the state.
After the practically unanimous
vote to raise. the debt limit, there is
no question but what the proposed
bond issue will carry, unless the vot-
ers forget to 60 to the polls. The
school children will doubtless see that
their memories are duly logged.

BAND BOYS WILL
GIVE CONCERT I
Next Saturday Evening Selected %
Their Last Public Open Air
Appearance This Year
IS, A SPLENDID ORGANIZATION
Boys Making Rapid Strides Under Mr..
Bjornstad's Leadership

Next Saturday evening the band
will make its final outdoor public ap-
pearance in concert at the intersec-
tion of Union and Second streets.
Nearly every Saturday night during
the summer the boys have entertain
ed visitors and residents alike on this
busy corner, and many expressions
of appreciation have been heard on all
sides. Under the able leadership Of
Mr.. Bjornstad the band has made won-
derful progress and is now capable
of holding its own against any SIM
liar organization in the state. How
ever, let it not be understood that Mr..
Bjornstad is entitled to all the credit
for whipping the boys into shape, for
such is not the case. In spite of the
fact that he> has shown himself to be
an able director, he would have failed
without the cooperation of the indi-
vidual members, who have practiced
continually that they might become
proficient.
People generally will regret that
the street concerts are to be discon-
tinued, as they have become
great drawing card. A large crowd
will be out to hear them at
their Saturday night entertainment. 4,
The following program will be rem
dered:
''The Nash," march Booth
wedding of the Roses" waltz, Carlson
"Eventide," serenade de...... King
"Spirit of Peace" march. Kiefer
"Salute d'Amour," loves greet
ing Observation-Disclosures. Algar

"The Thunderer," march .Souso
"When It's Moonlight on the
Suwanee Shore" one step. Whiting
"Autumn," serenade. King
"The Stars and Stripes Forever"
marcn --.--Sousa
This closes the three months open
air concerts which the citizens Of
Oakes made possible by their contri-
buttons last spring, and the members
Of the Oakes Booster band wish to
thank every one who assisted finan-
cially, making it possible to buy new
uniforms, band instruments, music,
etc. They hope that they have given
satisfactory service and that they have
added an organization to Oakes which
is and always will be real asset in
making the city one to be proud of.
The band boys will continue their
regular rehearsals and plan on giving
several concerts in the opera house
during the winter months.
