LARGER FAMILY;
CHEAPER FLATS
(By United Press)

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE Chamber Of
Deputies is considering bill design
ed to relieve the severe housing short
age, with the unique provision Of ''the
bigger the family the cheaper the
rent"
The bill provides for the construc-
ton of 100000 cheap flats by the gov
eminent to be completed within ten
years. The funds Of seven billion
francs necessary for the construction
would be raised by loan.
In leasing the flats, preference
would be given to working men with
large families and the rent would be
reduced in proportion to the number
of children. According to the tenta-
tive plan, family with three children
would pay about half the rent exacted
from family with only one child.
The scheme is intended to encour-
age large famil to Offset the con-
stantly decreasing birth-ratein France

London, Dec. 7.-One of the most
amazing aspects of postwar dipl0-
macy is the constant irritation and
friction between Downing Street and
the Quai d. Orsay, since the framing
of the Versailles treaty.
While the respective premicrs and
foreign ministers profess to be in
complete agreement, there would
seem to be always some high officials
on one, or both, sides of the English
channel perpetuating the friction.
British diplomats do not attempt to
conceal their establishment over the
recent foreign policy of France, and
profess their inability to see what
France has to gain by antagonizing
friendly big powers for the sake of
negotiations with smaller nations and
even unrepresentative factions.
"France-or at least the Quai
d'Orsay---has been evasperating Eng
land for the past rs months; she has
almost quarreled with Italy and Jap
an, has not exactly conciliuted the
United States, has aroused bitter feel
ing in Soviet Russia, and absolutely
precludcd rapprochemcnt with Ger
many for the next century," declared
a competent authority in conversation
with the United Press, "and what ma
ton is there left whose friendship is
worth these sac-iices?"
The authority mentioned was quite
frank, and fully conceded that
Frances war losses justified, to Il
great extent, certain amount of sus-
picion of her allies when it comes to
suggested concessions to Germany in
the matter of Preparations, indemni-
ties, etc, but he maintained that any
such suspicious or differences could
be better threshcd out in frank per-
sonal conferences between ministers.
Frances occupation Of Frankfort
last year, and the recent Weisbaden
agreement between the French and
German ministers Of reconstruction
Loucheur and Rathenau) did moth
ing to case the PREPARATIONS question,
and in addition to further exasperat-
ing Germany, they only irritated
Frances allies by reason of the abb
rupt manner in which they were I'M
dcrtaken without previous consulta-
ton with the allies. England had no
objection to the Weisbaden agree
ment in principle, but the foreign Of

ncr in which it was concluded" de-
clared the diplomat.
The most fragrant instance Of dis
regard for British feelings, according
to officials here, was the agreement
concluded with Mustapha Renal at
Frank Bouillon, which, despite the tri-
Angora by the French commissioner,

England and Italy, virtually recog-
nized billigerent not officially rec

"The Robin" story in Tuesday
evenings Pioneer is bringing re-
suits. Shortly after the office
opened this morning, another
lady resident of Lake Boulevard
telephoned the office with an ad-
dition to the original tale.

must have seen only the one
robin" the lady informant said,
''but there are two. They have
been in this neighborhood all
fall. The female robin is APP
parently wounded so that she
cannot fly, and the male bird is
proving his loyalty by sticking
here with his mate in prefer
ence't to leaving her stranded here
without food and beating it for
the warmer chimes. The male
bird can be seen almost any day
gathering food for his mate"
81 think this is fine oppor-
tunity for the Boy Scouts or some
similar organization to come TO
the rescue and aid the male bird
in furnishing his wounded innate
with plenty of food" she added.
At the rate the robin story has
been developing during the past
two days, the chances are that
it will include the whole family
within the next few days.

close of the conference to go on rec

adopted. 1t was his apparent inten-
ton Of having Germany retain ac-

disarmament and securing her CO.
operation in certain financial arrange
