LUXURY STOCKS
MUST REDUCE
BANKS WILL NOT CARRY PAPER
FOR MERCHANTS WITH
LARGE STOCKS.
(By United Press)

New York, May 2O.7-New York
banking and financial circles are
bending every effort to readjust the
loan and credit situation on a lower
basis without disturbing the financial
structure of the country.
The liquidation of loans by the
Federal Reserve Board is in progress
and it is considered certain that mer-
chants carrying large luxury stocks
on bank credits will be ordered to re-
duce their obligations.
The result has been to compel
merchants to offer inducements to
break the buyers strike, therefore a
flood of sales are taking place over
the country, more especially in the
large cities.
The same conditions which are
causing merchandise prices to fal
are expected to bring food prices
down.

GAY AND POPULAR RESORT
Biarritz, in Southern France, Noted
as the Scene of European Fri
voIity and Fashion.

One of the gayest and most popu-
lar watering resorts of Europe is Biar-
ritz in France, about forty miles from
the Spanish border. It's nearness to
Spain has colored it's language and ar
chitecture somewhat, giving it the pic
turesqueness of both countries. 1t Is
a beautiful place, with it's cream-col-
ored, red-roOfed villas, dark pine trees,
winding walks and crescent of white
sandy beach guarded at either end by
high, rocky bluffs rising abruptly from
the sea. Before the war it was the
scene of frivOlity and fashion, rival
ing Monte Carlo in it's gambling, dane
ing and display. 1t was a favOrite
resort with one of Englands more
playful kings in his lighter moments.
Indeed, it's main street Is called Rue
Edouard VII in honor of him.
The war brought sudden change
of mood to Biarritz. It's gambling ca
sinos and hotels were turned into hos
pitfalls for wounded French, and later
American soldiers. Grim conveys of
warShipS passed close to it's shores on
their way through the Bay Of Biscay.
Numerous ships were tOrpedOed in
sight of the shore by the German SUBJ
marines lurking along the Spanish
coast. The coast was heavily mined,
and from time to time the detonatlOn
Of a mine would shake the town.

Small Cone Shaped Asia
Minor Hills Transformed
by Natives Into Houses

In Asia Minor, south of the Black
sea and north of the Taurus noun
tains, is a region known in former
times as Cappadocia, which anciently
was a province of the Persian king
DOM It was famous for it's horses.
Later the invading Romans found
there an agricultural population whose
villages looked for defense to formid-
able fortresses that frowned from
nearby hilltops. These the conquerors
destroyed.
1t is lofty and rugged plateau,
manifestly long ago the scene of tre-
mendous volcanic activity, the burning
mountains pouring forth vast guam
titles of mud, which hardened into
rock 1t is a phenomenon familiar in
many parts of the world. But in the
district west and southwest Of Mount
Argaeus erosion by water and weather.
ing has produced an extraordinary re-
suit, the whole landscape being thickly
sprinkled with small cone shaped hills.
The people Of that district use them
extensively for dOmiciliary purposes.
1t is an easy matter with pickaX and
shovel to dig out the interior of one
of the cones and convert it into a COM
Portable dwelling. This is done usual
ly in such wise as to leave '1OOrS" in
tact, some of the larger houses having
as many as nine stories. Windows
and door are, of course, provided.
Many of the houses seem to have
been occupied since prehistoric times.
Some of them are known to have been
tenanted by Christian monks in the
fourth century, and it is believed by
psychologists that the "ant hill dwell
lings" of Cappadocia were inhabited
by the Hittites $500 years ago.
