Paris, May T..
France Is essentially a nation OF
small proprietors with a smaller quota
OF very wealthy men than any other
country of its size In the world. as Is
shown IN figures just published here
giving a comparison OF French In
comes. It is believed that the individ-
ual incomes for last year. when the
figures have been fully compiled. win
show taxable revenues amounting to
more than $1,000, o00.oo0 francs.
But In 1920 only 474 persons were
found with individual incomes Of moro
than 100000 francs, end only 1884
with incomes ranging from this down
to 100000 francs. while in all France
only $4,000 taxpayers were found with
incomes of more than 1000 francs a
month each.
On the other hand 100000 heads Of
families appear satisfied with an aver
age income of 1000 francs monthly.
And this is probably the chief reason
why France. while the remainder OF
Europe Is troubled with Boshevist
shadows. still keeps cheerful In so far
as the labor situation is concerned. only
waiting for the return Of normal ex-
change conditions TO prove its effect on
French industry.
Real estate figures strangely, the re-
turns of the finance experts showing
that only 10 per cent. of the total rev.
enue Is derived from this source, with
only per cent. coming from persons
worth more than million francs, while
salaries and interest on savings provide
40 per cent, derived from persons hav-
ing small incomes. and IL per cent de-
rived from persons with incomes moro
than 100000 francs. In fact. French
real estate is distributed among 6.000.-
600 owners, although the greater part
Of 1t is held by small farmers and
merchants who have been able to buy
homes from their meagre profits.
In 1919 labor furnished a. per cent.
average OF all French incomes. and 1t Is
evident that last years average will
considerably exceed that average.

LONDON DEALERS
TRICKED BY BOGUS
JAPANESE PEARLS
Jewellers Dismayed by Ex-
posture of Huge Fraud
in ImpOrtatiOns.
DISCOVERY BY WORKMAN
Bead Inserted In Flesh Of Oys-

London, May I.
London jewellers have been dismayed
by the exposure Of a huge pearl fraud.
It was accidentally discovered that
thousands Of pounds sterling had been
flung away in the purchase OF worth
less faxed Japanese importations. How
long the limitations have been coming
to England and how many are in ex-
istence is unknown, and this Is causing
something approaching panic in
Hatton Garden among the big Jewell
lers.
Tho faxed Jewels are SO perfect that
they Withstand all ordinary tests. Like
Oriental pearls. these limitations have
been sent to this country already
pierced. The discovery was made when
workman in one of the big ,ewelry
shops was making a necklace out of
pearls bought for 10000. He found that
one OF the pierced holes was not large
enough for the string, and so lie tried
to enlarge w. In so doing he chlpped a
piece out of the pearl, revealing small
mother Of pearl bead inside a coating of
pearl film
London jewellers state that the fake
Is a product of eight or ten Nears of
work spent In the development Of
Japanese pearl culture ana industry and
has been brought to perfection. 1he sys-
TEN Is to catch oysters and By a surgical
operation insert mother OF pearl bead
in the flesh Of the oyster, which IL then
returned to It's bed. After two months
the oysters are recaught, by which time
the mother Of pearl bead Is found to be
covered with thin pearl film deposited
by the oyster. The limitations are the
same in weight, size and color as Ori-
teeth they grit and crate like the gen.
uine ones.
Secret meetings have been rel, among
London jewellers who are faced with the
difficulty Of discovering harmless test
by which the fakes can be fourd with
out injuring genuine pearls, " has also
been proposed to the Board OF Trade
that the importation OF pearls be sus-
pended until an effective test has been
discovered.
1t is probable that a MUNGER OF legal
contests In the courts may result from
this discovery, as the difference In value
between a genuine and fake pearl is
in about the same relation as n dollar
to a cent The discovery of the fraud
was made last week, but was l:ept secret
until to-day and Is now causing a flut-
ter among society people who have been
recent purchasers.

The Soviet Government had declared
all sale Of food to be Illegal. but lacking
the mechanism for procuring and dis
tributing supplies 1t was later obliged
to reopen the markets, according to an
impartial American observer who has
just returned after being engaged in
medical work and American relief dis
tribution In Russia.
The rationing by the Government,
however gives every person a chance Of
getting something. he says Workers
are assured of at least one meal a day
consisting OF meat and soup. Factories
also have daily bread ration. The
rahons have gradually been cut down
through the winter from pound and
half to half pound. The traveller said

operas to give one performance each

started two years ago and is being con-
Quoted entirely by this girl After each
performance the children are permitted
to vote on the ability Of the actors.
The actors. however. find the children
appreciative rather than over critical.
which eases their anxiety over losing
their Jobs.
The workers are forbidden to leave
factories without Government authori-
cation. and many cities have similar
restrictions about a change In a place
OF dwelling. Moving is permitted In
Petrograd. where the streets are now
partly deserted.
Moscow. with 100000 inhabitants, Is
overcrowded and moving Is forbidden.
The streets have been allowed to get
into such bad condition that bicycling
in Moscow Is almost impossible. Labor
continues to be compulsory, and oilers
either Join the labor battalions or flee
from the country.
The peasants can keep all the land
they can till. but their surplus produc-
ton Is taken by the Government. Con-
scription is In force and service in the
army Is compulsory. The death sem
tence as punishment for desertion,
reintroduced after the second Polish Of
fensive. Is being maintained. The OBJ
server finds that praiseworthy effort
Is being made toward the education
and care Of children.

If the world has lost the habit of ex-

development of the theatres arts as in
the nineteenth century. 1t Is the fault
OF modern haste and the invention Of
elevators. says Grandpere Leclerc. who
has just resigned as doorkeeper at the
Coincide Franchise after more than fifty
years service.
When he commenced work there ele-
vators were unknown. and writer's, sing
ers and players were forced to meet one
another on the stairways. They were
never in too great hurry to stop for
brief conversation. from which de-
veloped ideas for new dramas. comedies
and operas.

NJ. Leclerc. Representatives of every
branch of the artistic professions meet

the staircases are no longer used. In
stead they step into cage and are
wf,isked up or down and separated
within thirty seconds. AS a result not
single new idea can be traced to the

American mariner, eighty years old,
who was slumbering peacefully on a

was charged in court with wandering

he said:

When asked whether he had friends IN

Smith was remanded to be thoroughly

Paris, May T.
The chief topic of discussion in high
society In Paris for the last week has
been How old Is love- which was in
spired by the declaration of Prof Seig-
nobos OF the Sorbonne. that the divine
passion first made its appearance Mt the
beginning OF the twelfth century. Be
fore that date. according to the profes-
sor. civilization as known to-day did not
exist In any OF its branches. therefore
the casual records OF fine relations be-
tween males and females must be inter-
preted by a code other than that extant
to-day.
This dictum is causing French critics
to comment caustically on the fact that
love in the future may not be measured
by occasional gifts OF flowers or the
proof Of sentiment by giving UP subway
seats TO the fair sex, but by relations OF
n more diplomatic type. based on the
economic relations between men and
women workers.
