PARIS. December 21.-In 1913, 1919
and 1920 enormous profits were real
lied in the French fur trade, but the
rise in prices seems to have passed
it's highest point this year. A Hudson
bay otter cloak which cost 1900
francs in April, 1920. can be bought
now for 5000. Rabbit skins. which
had reached fancy prices, have re-
turned to the normal Of before the
war. Astrakhan and skunks are now
only twice their prewar. prices, and
blue and white fox from three to four
times. Siberian sables and Peruvian
chinchillas alone continue to increase
in price, both being rare and much in
demand. A sable cloak which cost
10000 francs in 1913-14 would cost
today 100000.

|Railroad Funding Bill
| Is Given Explanation
No MONEY Is TAKEN FROM u. S
TREASURY Nor Is ANYONE
TAXED TO PROVIDE FUNDS

Washington, Sept. IA great
deal of confusion exists in the pub
lie mind regarding the railroad
funding bill' which will be one Of
the pieces Of unfinished business
before the Senate after the recess.
Most Of this confusion is due to the
fact that up-to-date what discussion
there has been of the bill has been
couched in financial terms rather
than translated into the language Of
the everyday citizen. Some Of it
is due to propaganda turned loose by
those who wish to see the railroads
forced back into government owner
ship, and they have reason to believe
a long step in that direction would
be taken if the funding bill were de-
feated.
Congressman William R. Green,
of Iowa, close student of railroad
problems, has undertaken to explain
the railroad funding bill in terms
that are readily understandable Rep
resentative Green says;
The bill provides in effect that
not to exceed S5OO,000,000 of the
amount owing to the government
