TOURISTS BLAMED FOR EXTORT|ONATE
 CHARGES IN PARIS
French Government, How ever, Proposes Publicity as a Remedy to Stop Crow
 ing Practice By Hotels
By Associated Press

Paris, July s.-The effect of the high cost of living in Paris upon tourist trade, as indicated by the growing frequency of complaints of extortion by Americans visiting France, is occupying the attention of the government. The authorities hold that the tourists have the cure largely in their own hands; exag- gerated prices being due in large part to indiscriminate. spending by visi- tors, aided by the spendthrift ten- dency of French profiteers.
 It is admitted that abuses praeticed in amusement resorts, where meals, wine and dancing are provided, have but how to correct that evil without discouraging the most profitable trade is a question.
 Under Secretary of State Palsant discussing the question with Ameri- cans. proposes publicity as a remedy. He has invited American visitors to join in protest which will be pub lished in the Paris press, and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his at tention.
 NThe most frequent causes of com plaint are charges for lodgings in hotels and apartments. MT. Paisant told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels to publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not however, affect apartments, which are the subject of profiteering on a scale hitherto unknown.
 There are very few unfurnished apartments to let, according to the real estate agencies; as fast as vacated by tenants they are trans formed into furnished apartments and either let at rentals of from 800 to 1000 per cent higher than the aver. age before the war for furnished apartments of the same class. or rented at an increase of 200 to 300 per cent above the average for un- furnished apartments, with the pro- viso that the tenant buy the furni- ture at excessive figures

Calls on Business Men to Help Him
 SolQe Problem
By AsgOcfafed prAss

London July 9.-The Postmaster General has called upon the business men of Great Britain to aid him in solving the problem of how to oper- ate the postal. telegraph and teIe- phone services efficiently and with out deficit.
 council of business men has been appointed to assist in the manage ment of the department. H. Gordon Sefridge, the American merchant Tn London, is one of the l9 appointees The others include bank directors, presidents of chamber of commerce. railroad managers and other leaders of industry. One is newspaper pro prietor. Viscount Burnham of the London Daily Telegraph.
 The postoffice department esti- deficit of s3.500,000. The Postmaster General had proposed to cover this by increasing the rates on the second class mail but now this project has been abandoned.
 The question why the department should show a loss has been the subject of much debate in the news papers. The department has a mon opoly in the United Kingdom of the mails, telegraphs and telephone. thus making it the greatest business in the country. Yet, on a combined revenue of f70,000,000 a year it has been run at loss. One writer has attributed the demicit to the doubling of the penny postage on letters which took place during the war and its retention since.

VOODOO DEVILS IN
 HEARTS OF CUBANS
By Associated Press

Havana, Cuba, July 9.-Reining in his shambling horse, an aged negro cab driver early one night recently removed bundle from the shadows of his coach and deposited 1t in the doorway of an aristocratic residence near the Malecon. Havanas bayshors drive.
 The flickering light of a nearby arc lamp made it possible for pass erby to distinguish the outlines of the bundle. Apparently it was rude effigy, the head an unhusked cocoa nut, with the fibre unraveled enough to give the appearance of straggly hair, and the legless body stuffed, ragged coat, to which were fastened bones and what apparently were twigs and berries.
 The cab driver hardly had disap- peared before a small group had congregated on the sidewalk before the portico that sheltered the effigy. The group swiftly grew into a small crowd, composed mostly of negroes and mulattos. Noisy before they caught a glimpse of the motionless figure, the spectators, after giving one glance, lOSl lntlr duiiHdtlOn anu became a part of the whispering. nervous assemblage. The suppressed excitement became more pronounced when a negro band, ragged Haitians from the country, started a monoto- nous air on their tom toms and notched' calabashes.
 Nobody touched the effigy, not even the policemen attracted to the scene, who confined their energies to keeping the sidewalk clearN The windows of the house itself remained shuttered and closed, although gleams of light indicated that the family was awake, even if not de- sirous of protesting against unin- vited visitors. As the hour grew later the crowd dwindled, those leaving hastening their steps as they passed through the deserted streets, with apprehension in their backward glances and frequent signs of the crcss, incongrously supplemen ented with fingers crossed against the evil eye. Fear of voodoo devils whose fearfully muttered names were often linked with the words. death before surise," sent them hurrying homeward.
 But before dawn the effigy had disappeared
