French Merchants Solve Problem Of
 ExOrbitant Rents
NEAR A POPPY
By ALICE LANGELIER. :. International News Service Staff
 COrFeSDOndent.

| Paris, May 25-French merchants have solved the problem of high shop
 rent by selling their curious wares on wagons in a street closed for repairs No sooner is the sign Rue Barree" | (Street Closed) put up by the agent de 1 police than number of little carts camp just in front of the sign, but often in the very midst of the blocks of wood and tar wagons, moving back as the work advances.
 Last week in the Rue St. SuIpice,
 at the. side of the great church, there
 was a little old woman selling alumni l num- kettles, pots, pans and utensils 1 of every description, calling out the lat such ridiculously low prices in | hoarse, loud voice. There was no need to cry out, for the people were already there by the dozens waiting eagerly for her to make change so they could carry off their treasures. For three days I watched her come early in the morning, her cart brim- ming over with shiny pots and pans. Each evening at six her wares were sold, and she went home with a light wagon and a heavy purse. The street is finished now, so she has moved to other quarters.
 The kinds of wares one sees are most amusing-fountain pens and
 curious pencils that never break, spectacles for the old and young and
 knives that cut vegetables into most
 fantastic shapes and enable the house
 wife to prepare as fancy dishes as the (chief of the Ritz Carlton.
 That must be an American inven- tion," heard one man say as we were all crowded around Sacthing the
 merchant turn out apples that looked
 like Japanese lanterns and lacy potato baskets.
 The ''garter-man" doesn't even need
 a stand for his wares. He uses his
 own left leg. With trouser-leg ruled knee ha shows hny he works, and when the repairs are f1n- ished all he has to do is to pull his trouser down and walk off to another Rue Barree''
 This year has been a good one for these shopless hawkers for Paris has taken to repairing the streets she neglected during the war. I am just wondering where the "came-Iots 20 when there are no street being mended, but perhaps that day never comes around.

Peggy Chaffee was the states star

very purpose.
How she had attempted to come to

Came the startling news that the
'"Tiger-Wonsan' had proved as adept
at the use of a saw as at the welding
of a hammer-that she had escaped
from her cell in the county Jail here.
But before this even came a call
to the sheriffs office-a frantic ap-
peal for help. 1t was the voice of
woman shrill with terror - the
voice of Peggy Caffee.
The connection was broken.
Tracks of the Tiger.
Deputies rushed to the Caffee home.
They found footprints around the
house similar to those made by Mrs
Phillips in her roof flight from the
Jail; they found a scarf that she had
worn at the trial.
But they didn't find Peggy Caffee-
Nor did they find any trace of her.
1t was as if the earth had swallowed
the former friend of the '"Tiger-Wo-
man."
Several hours later. after the depu-
ties had returned to headquarters,
they learned of the sensational escape
of Mrs. Phillips. Then the signifi-
canoe of the footprints and the scarf
dawned upon them.
Airplanes, motorboats, and autos
swiftly were Communicated. The
hunt for the '"Tiger-Woman' began.
And it continues.
But just as the investigators were
