FRENCH ORPHANS
TO Be HEARD FROM
American Benefactors Will
Get Letters Telling of
Wards Progress.
BY WILLIAM e. NASH.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS. May T.-Every American
citizen who adopted a French war
orphan for temporary period will
receive a letter soon describing the
progress made by his or her child
since the cessation Of American sup
port. The Franco-American frater-
nifty. recognized as useful to the state
by the French government, is even
now at work on the project. More
than 100000 biographies have been ac-
cumulated.
The purpose of the campaign is to
thank the Americans for the aid al
ready given and to suggest as del
icately as possible that the need is
still great-larger than can be met
by the resources of France.
Doesn't Like Begging.
I'VE shall not stretch out our hands
to the American public as a whole,
because we do not want to be taken
for beggars." explained Emile
Deutsch de la Meurthe, president of
the Franco-American fraternity, to
the correspondent. We know that
the war to the generosity of the
American people. Frenchmen are too
proud to organize tag days for their
own benefit in foreign countries.
Letters, such as those we are sending
out today, affect only persons who
have already manifested their friend
ship for France.
AT the close Of the war, according
to statistics. which do not lie, 250,-.
900 French orphans out of 100000
were being aided by American money.
After the armistice, however, in a
natural but unfortunate manner, this
number decreased repidly until at
present 1t amounts to just 10000"
Pittance Assured All.
Excellent French social laws, the
writer Is told, assure q pittance to
every boy or girl whose father dies
for France, but the poverty of the
treasury prevents this pittance from
being satisfactory. For the average
child. for instance. It amounts
merely to IS francs (about IS now)
a month. Only for those who can
show special claims to education does
the subsidy reach more than 100
francs (Ss.50).
Family ties are very strong in
France and they engage the responsi-
bility OF brothers. cousins, aunts and
uncles in q way unknown in the
United States. Thus out of 10000
orphans left without father or
mother In 1919. only ridiculously
small number, perhaps 100 In all.

FLEECING AMERICANS? RIDICULOUS.
SAY GERMANS, ACCUSED BY TOURISTS

Americans at the Passion Play be-
came known. These first visitors
to Oberammergau were charged as
high as 1000 paper marks (about
$24.50) for permission to remain
in Bavaria a few days or q whole
month. -
In most Of the big cities the
shops which last winter displayed
the sign mo goods will be sold to
foreigners" have removed these
placards after having fixed two
prices on all goods-one for Ger
mans and the other for foreigners,
particularly Americans.
"The new 10000 mark note,
which will be issued about June 1.
was designed. according to the
German newspapers. for the Amer
lean visitors. They spend 10000
marks Just as readily as 1000
marks" one paper asserts.

Poets Tie Shop "Ad."

A poet in whose breast the cares
Of collar and tie shop in Asakusa
cannot stifle the Parnassan urge has
written the following sign and placed
1t over his masters shop to cheer the
passerby:
Those who belong to our company
are always endeavoring to express
their delicate mood and individuality
through the goods they are dealing
in, from the point of view Of making
all existence best and most beautiful
first Of all and then let themselves

to say the eternal peace-the ideal

What it means would be difficult to
say. While it draws attention to the
admirable qualities of the collars and
ties and carriers, it also seems to in
dictate II little WEAKNESS with AsakuSa

MEDICINAL DRUG GARDENS
PROFITABLE IN NORTHWEST

Western Washington, particularly
the Sound and Columbia river regions
are well suited to drug gardening as
an industry. according TO James
Thompson, director Of the drug gar
dens, located at the University Of
Washington. The temperature Of
this region varies only about 20 de-
grees winter and summer, and
though most Of the drug
bearing plants are imported, they
adapt themselves and thrive excel
lently.
Belladonna and foxglove are two Of
the most profitable plants. Any one
with small patch Of ground and a
little care, says Thompson, can make
profit from drug raising. There is
always a demand and most varieties
require little cultivation. The har-
vest season is from the last Of June

two years ago. This is tremendously
important in view Of the circumstan-
ces that the Legislature of 1921 au-

read work for which nobody could for
see revenues enough to pay for.
BY pressin" for every possible adj
vantage the Highway Committee last
year gradually obtained a marked re-
duction in the cost Of new road work

20%S saving was made. This year q
further cut has been made and the
committee will strive to make the
new conditions take care of all road
work authorized, something nobody
anticipated.
or interest in this connection is the
fact that federal cid moneys are be
