CHILDREN READY
FOR LUSCIOUS
MELON FEAST.

Tomorrow will be a memorable
day in the history of the Fair
brother School playground, 10th
and e streets southwest
No illustrious orator will be
there to pour forth words of wis
dom to the youngsters. No band
of music will be on hand to en-
liyen the program. But. OF what
Importance are such things, when
it is announced that watermelon
will be there, ice cold, and plenty
of it!
If the District should get suf-
frage ten years from now some
member of the firm of A. ]. Sah-
dala & Son, wholesale watermelon
dealers could easily carry the vote
of the Fairbrother playground sec
tion. For that firm has made pos
sible the watermelon feast to
which the boys and girls OF Fair
brother are looking forward SO
eagerly.
The only request made by May
Howard and Clare Oberg. present
supervisors OF the ground. is that
the watermelon brigade be on
hand promptly at 2:30 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. The invitation
also applies to the parents OF the
children.
The Fairbrother was one of the
school Fairgrounds the opening
of which was made possible last
year by the fund collected by
Commissioner Oyster in co-opera-
ton with The Star.

action by the court there which was
to determine their course of action.
Mr.. Bielaskis business affairs have
been completed and the Cuernavaca
court has been properly advised of his
intentions. He has made all prepara-
tions to leave for Laredo tonight.
1t Is considered barely possible that
the former American Department of
Justice official may invoke amparo
proceedings in order to free himself
of the restraint imposed by the Cuer-
navaca court in ordering him to re-
main within the confines of Mexico
City.
The military and police secret
agents. who since the kidnapping incl
dent have shadowed Mr.. Bielaski day
and night, returned to their labors
yesterday following a few hours Of
relaxation the day before. They are
now stationed close to the gate OF the
American embassy.
For the first time since the incident
occurred Mr. Bielaski today appeared
piaued at the turn of affairs which
hitherto he had treated more or less
as joke. He was insistent that un-
less he was legally restrained he was
prepared to depart for the United
States at the earliest possible mo-
ment. 1t was pointed out at the en-
bassy that Mr.. and Mrs. Bielaski were
not in asylum there and that II a de-
mand for their surrender is made they
must be turned over to the proper
authorities.

THE days when American tourists
came to Paris, visited the shops, and.
thrilled by the richness and beauty
Of the wonderful products of French
taste and skill, bought freely. paying
any price that was asked, are past.
A decided reaction has set in. The
great dressmakers, whose names are
known throughout the world, report
that American women are buying
little and bargaining much.
Passing Up Paris
Two wealthy women, who were
lunching the other day at the table
of a prominent Ambassador, said
they were dissatisfied with the prices
and were returning to America to
purchase their gowns in New York.
More and more one hears American
visitors of ample means remark that
they are buying little in Paris and
returning home empty handed.
How is II that the American girl,
who has always looked toward Paris
as the center of the dressmaking and
millinery art, of cunningly designed
jewelry, of gorgeous fans. of laces
and hand-b bags, that when she finds
herself before a display Of all these

manufacturers and dealers would do
well to consider: that New York Is
striving to declare its independence
of Paris in the matter Of styles.
But that Is not all. The ordinary
American tourist Is buying goods and
paying hotel bills. not specializing in
francs. His interest, therefore. Is
not primarily how many francs he
can get for a dollar, but how much
he can buy for that dollar In France.
The simple truth Is that the price
level in France is pretty high and
the traveller finds inadequate COM
pensation in the rate OF exchange
which does not yield him sufficient
number of francs.
"'what is the price?' asks the
American tourist--of a dress, bottle
of perfume or a room In a hotel. so
many francs Is the answer. The tour
ist generally assumes that the franc
has cost him roughly ten cents. con.
verts the sum into dollars easily and
finds 1t higher than expected.
Urge Lower Prices.
1T Is not only the tourist who has
complained. The professional buyers
for the great department stores In
our American cities, who maintain
warehouses In Paris and have been
coming here for years. are declaring
that, although we could afford to
pay high prices when the franc eX'
change was at six or seven cents. we
cannot do 1t with the franc at ten
cents.
These buyers are urging French
dealers to lower their prices In order
to hold American business. To this
advice the French merchants reply,
vehemently insisting upon their good
faith, and stating that with the high
taxes, wages and overhead expenses.
they cannot reduce and stay In bust
ness.
Careful investigation shows that
there Is no general movement to
charge Americans inordinate prices.
Indeed, the restriction in buying has
been strongly enough felt to teach
the greedy and Aunscrupulous mer.
chant a considerable lesson. The
fundamental truth Is that things in
France are high-high in francs to
a Frenchman.
Americans long resident in Paris,
thoroughly acquainted with the
language and customs, are finding
living dear. Many a French finan.
cier and merchant wishes the franc
today worth eight cents instead of
nearly ten. The French are faced
with the same export difficulty that
we of America have met-our dollar

HOWEBROOK, Me-, June l4.-Soaked by tor

modern ADAM and forced him to eat bull frogs raw be-
he could build fire, Carl A. Sutter wasN
suen frame of mind today. He said he had passed the
most miserable night he had yet spent in the woods.
When he abandoned civilization and struggled through
ten miles of quagmires to the hut he had built in his
first three weeks stay, he found only scene of de-
vastation. Wild animals, presumably bears, had torn
his tiny cabin to pieces His stone fireplace
turned and his buried food supply was missing

A dozen times the roof sprung q
new leak. Everything / gathered
was soaking wet. Birch bark moss
and spruce boughs were equally use
less. Occasionally "a stream Of water
would run down my face. I slept
about two hours and l am almost
starved"
Never had 1t been so difficult fo-
him to find food in the forest. The
heavy rains had swollen the wood
land streams until they ran dashing
over the rocks in miniature cata-
racts. To fish in this rushing tor
rent was impossible. So he got a
long club and waded off into the
swampy land. In half an hour he
returned 10 his camp with a couple
dozen big bull frogs. Sutter tried
again and again to kindle fire with.
out success. BY this time Adam
was nearly starved and he reverted
to the primitive entirely. With his
teeth he tore the thick meaty legs
from the bull frogs and devoured
them raw. They were not exactly
appetizing. but they helped to keep
the spark Of life glowing.
