FARlS, Aug. 6.--Although Earl Bal
tours statement in regard to foreign
obligations was considered somewhat
lnopportune, there is in reality no re-
gret in French sentiment at having the
present uncertainty removed.
The British plan of facilitating a re-
funding of England's American debt
consists of claiming from her CONT
mental debtors a sufficient portion of
1,."'4oo,oo0,0OO owed her to cover her OBJ
hgatlons to the United States. Official
opinion here interprets this to mean
that as France owes about 100000 900,
or if1s per cent Of the total due Eng
land, France is obligated to only that
amount.
however, obscurity exists in this as
Well as in other parts of the note, for
IL might be argued that, the Russian
ana German debts being impossible to
correct, France must contribute larger
ratio. 1t will be necessary for all these
questions to be clarified at the meeting
OF the premiers in London and to find
out whether a reduction is reallv in
tended.
Premier Poincare is expected to pro-
pose counter projects which, although
inciuentally dealing with contents of
the British note, will at the same time
propose solution of the reparation
problem. The German indemnity would
be reduced to 10000, 100000 gold marks,
intor-Allied debts cancelled and-most
important Of all-German finances
would come under Allied control in re-
turn for a short moratorium.
No concession will be made on this
point, as the French feel that no inter
national loan is secure without Allied
indorsement which could not be given
unless based on some negotiable Ger
man assets. The latter consist of GUS
toms, properties of the government and
shares Of the great industrial under
taklngs. 1t is realized that Germany's
industrial wealth has been unaffected
by the depreciation Of her currency,
for it is merely the result Of chang
Ing the basis Of measurement of value
of goods.
Where trade Is active between coun-
tries prices rise almost automatically
with the depreciation of exchange, fol-
lowed more slowly by wages and the
cost Of living. A desire Is manifested
to adjust the load according to the i'm
mediate capacity Of the debtor, but at
the same time it Is considered neces-
sary to find out what those possibili-
ties are and what evidence of bad faith
there Is.

 "Is everything jake?" Allen Drake asked
 | Absolutely He's started, but he'll meet the supposed stick-up men down the road and be disarmed before he gets very far. Come, Katie, put on your cloak, and we'll mosey down the road to the trysting place"
 Katie rose obediently, reaching for the cloak with fingers that l saw trembling nervously. I crossed the room quickly, took up the cloak and put it round her shoulders.
 Steady, dear" whispered There's nothing to be afraid of. And don't let Mir Drake guess you're nervous"
 She flung up her head as If had slapped her. I had struck the right key. I noted with satisfaction.
 Don't you worry" she whispered back. Dot bunch of soup greens, he get no chance to laugh at me-
 Lillian swept her to the door, then turned for parting admonition.

FRED's GONE; HOW CAN CONNIE
 FIND HIM?
BY ZOE BEcKLEY.

The nrAt quarrel between FRED, ealesman who has been sent tc Now York by the Gypsy Motor company
 and his new bride,
 CONNIE, a country girl. breaks out after
 Connie dsnpproves of the elaborate though crhmped, apartment Fred hal chosen as their home,
 GO ON WITH THE STORY
 For some minutes after Fred had flung himself out of the room to whatever desperate thing he had re- solved on, Comics heart-breaking sense of outrage kept her from caring, Then she wondered for a fleeting moment. And no sooner did she wonder than she wanted Ito know, Rushing to the window she looked down on Broadway
 Was that unseeing young man, plunging recklessly across the stream of traffic, her husband? A gray shark of car almost devoured him. An other lurched sideways to avoid a sideswipe.
 Fred seemed oblivious. A surge of pedestrians blocked his path. He plunged through and disappeared.
 She felt a shuddering cold and closed the window. She sank upon the nearest chair. Her very mind and heart seemed frozen
 This would not do. Fred was a high strung boy and the fact that he usually held himself decently in check made his present mood the more to be considered.
 It would be best to talk the thing over agair--quietly. Even If the end of everything had come. they could at least arrange things thoughtfully, re- cover what they could from the wreck, instead of plunging blindly into--what?
 Fred was probably at the sales room now, consoling himself with Gypsy, the all-sufflcient concern of his life. With a thrill of relief Con- nie grasped the telephone-she would show him how to keep cool under catastrophe. Perhaps if he showed a spark of the old feeling for her they might make another try at what few hours before had seemed so fair a future.
 She called up the Gypsy sales rooms. She waited an interninable time. At last:
 Gypsy salesrooms," said a harsh voice, "whaddyer want?''
 "I'd like to speak to Mr. Dane, one of the salesmen, please"
 This is the watchman. The place is closed. Saturday afternoon. No- l body here"
 But I'm sure"
 'They's no one here. Call up Mon- lay,'
 The telephone clicked dead.
 Connie slowly replaced the receiver. l

"sERENADE" AT PALACE.

Tonight marks the last showing of Jackie Coosan in his greatest picture Trouble which has made a wonder ful hit since it's opening here last Sunday. On Thursday the entire bill changes and brings another excellent program of fine attractions. The fea- ture photoplay offers R. A. Walsh's production "Serenade," with George Walsh and Miriam Cooper in the leading roles.
 The action is laid in the Spanish possession of Magdalena, where Don Fulgencio, the governor, had ruled for many years. The supporting cast is a notable one.
 As an added attraction a revival of the first Mary Pickford picture will be shown just to show the difference between photoplays of today and yes terday. This two reel drama starring Mary Pickford and King Baggot was made 12 years ago by D. w. Griffith and it Is so undramatic now that it looks like a farce comedy Four good Keith vaudeville acts will complete a fine all around bill.

- DAILY FASHION SERVICE =---
 Trimmed It With Red

Red is an ever-blooming peren- nial-sartorially speaking. IL is sell dom scheduled for overwhelming popularity. but there Is never sea- son during which it doesn't put in an appearance,
 Its chief use this season is to line the wide sleeves or loose panels that continue to be worn, to touch up n dark gown with dash of embroid- cry or to function, in its lighter shades, in evening gowns of un- doubted dash and brilliance.
 For daytime wear all the shades of brown are undoubtedly most popular They vary from the brown that is nearly red or yellow, with special favor shown to the golden browns half way down the scale.

LEAVES EYE BEHIND HIM.
Forgetful Salesman Gets It Back
 After Wiring Hotel.

New York, Aug. 3o.-An absent minded travelling salesman of Boston, who missed his right eye after a visit to Newark, N. J., last week, in a tele- gram yesterday to Charles Carrigan. manager of the Robert Treat hotel congratulated the hotel man on the efficiency of his service and the honesty of his employees. The Bos- tonian, whose name is withheld, had two right eyes-one of agate for Sun day and other dress occasions and one of common glass for weekdays. He left the Sunday eye on the dresser when he checked out Saturday.
 "One of our chambermaids found it." said MT. Carrigan, and turned it in at the office. The salesman wired us about it Monday and we notified him we were sending it to him by parcel post. It is the first time in my experience a guest has forgotten his eye"

THE BANQUET AT UNCLE SAM
 MY COON'S.

There was to be a banquet at Uncle Sammy Coon's eating house, down near Cedar swamp. Since Uncle Sammys arder was almost empty, he decided to serve the ban queters only one dish-clans. When other food failed, Uncle Sammy could always turn to Black Creek, which flowed past his place, and hunt for fresh- water clans.
 Tt won't make any difference what l give 'em tonight, nor how much Uncle Sammy thought. They'll be having such a pleasant time that, if l hustle about and chatter the dishes, they'll think there's plenty to eat
 Other banquets had been held in his eating house. And everybody had laughed so heartily that no one had seemed to notice the food. Indeed, Uncle Sammy had this very day gone to the trouble of hanging big signs upon his wall which bade his guests, Laugh and Grow Fat" Check Your Appetites at the Desk" Try Our Creek Water! It's Very Filling.
 Well, that night, with the guests all present. Uncle Sammy piled all his dishes upon the long table, Everybody had his mouth all made up for a big feast. But after making a terrible racket with the dishes Cn- cle Sammy Coon set before each guest a soup plate half filled with thin watery liquid, in which f1oated stray

Colleen Moore in Rupert Hughes The Wall Flower" and John Gilbert in Honor First" played to a capacity house at Fox's this afternoon. These same features will be repeated tonight and tomorrow. One is a story of a neglected girl, the other a story of mistaken identity in which war coward gets a heros praise.
 The weekend program brings Dus- tin Farnum in "Oathhound," an ex- cellent picture which will be shown on Friday and Saturday.
 Beginning Sunday night and con- through next week, David w. Griffith's Orphans of the storm" taken from The Two Orphans" will be featured with an augmented or chestra. The Gish sisters have the roles of the two orphans. Ten thousand actors were used by MT. Griffith in making this picture.
 Closely following this sensational picture, Fox's has arranged to present another thriller, The Fast Mail" re- garded as the greatest melodrama ever written

10 A. N. AND 3P. N.
 ARE ZERO HOURS
More Industrial Accidents Than
 at Any Other Time

More accidents occur in business at about 10 o'clock in the morning than
 at any other hour of the day. Three o'clock in the afternoon is another high accident hour. These two peaks in the daily accident periods represent q very large majority of cases oc- curing among male workers in the telephone industry, throughout the country. This has been SO for years.
 Why are 10 o'clock a. m. and 3
 D. m the peak hours for accidents :?
 Psychologists may give this ques- tion considerable study with profit to industry generally. Safety first campaigners are giving the matter thought and telephone engineers of the Southern New England and as making an exhaustive study of this problem in their constant effort to
 minimize accidents among employees, a work that is intended for the wei fare of employee as well as for the economic benefit to the company.
 The number of accidents, occurring during each hour of the day, has been charted by telephone engineers and the interesting and somewhat pu2zlng fact Is disclosed that the ac cident hours of each day are those stated.
 Men in the telephone business. well fitted to express an opinion on this subject agree that the larger pro- portion of the days work is performed in the morning and this may ac- count for a larger accident record then than in the afternoon.
 During the early hours of the day, the men do not work at high speed. or as they grow familiar with the job, they increase their speed of production.
 After lunch workers are sluggish. Their best afternoon hour is about 8 o'clock and then they are speed ing again, only to be slowed up by an accident which iessens production from 8 o'clock to o'clock.
 The accident prevention board, of employees of the Southern New England Telephone company, nas launched a competitive campaign lmong employees encouraging them to submit their opinions as to the req sons for so many accidents at q given | lour day after day and year after ,ear Also the employees are asked o suggest remedial measures.

Then she took it up again and called the hotel desk. It was a bitter thing to ask the question:: "Did-did MT. Dale leave word where he was going?"i
 "No. Airs. Dale" said the clerk. But he can't be far. He rushed out as though he saw someone he wanted to catch"
 Connie thanked him. There was no one else left to ask. She knew not an address. not a human being in all New York to whom she could turn for help.
 Panic clutched her. If Fred did not return soon, she could think but one thing 7. Men did commit des- perate acts in just such circum- stances.
 Her lips and throat were parched. She paced the floor, tearing her handkerchief to shreds. starting at every sound in the outer halls.
 The tension was growing unbear- able. What did people do when they needed help desperately? The po- lice? No-she couldn't appeal to them.
 Why not? Anything but this an- initiating suspense. She looked at her watch
 Three hours since Fred had gone! Connie sprane to the telephone, and with every nerve a-quiver, sobbed a call for police headquarters.

 pitcher of creek water right in the l middle of the table. l Of course such accidents always help to entertain a dinner party. There was scramble among the guests as they sprang back to keep from getting wet Some of them tip ped over in their chairs. Some Of them fell under the table. And every body shouted, making such an Np roar that for a moment Uncle 1n- my was frightened and ran out of doors.
 However, he soon came hobbling back The banqueters seated them selves once more. And Uncle Sam my was wondering what he should do next to enliven t!e party and take their minds off the food when Jimmy Rabbit did it for him.
 "Hurrah.' Jimmy cried. What luck. I've found one. I hope every body else will find one, too"
 The guests all craned their neoks to look at Jimmy Rabbit. And Uncle Sammy Coon rushed up to him, thrust out paw, and said, Hand it right over to me, young man. It's rule Of this eating house that any that are found here belong to me"
 What is it?" Billy Woodehuck whispered to Paddy Muskrat. What has Jimmy Rabbit found?"
 "A pe1r," Paddy told him. He must have found a freshly water pearl in a clam Haven't you noticed that sign?" He pointed with his tail to a sign on the wall which said, "The Owner Claims All Pearls Found in the Food"
 Meanwhile Jimmy Rabbit gazed at Uncle Sammy Coon in astonishment

 Why not?" Uncle Sammy snarled

 Well, Uncle Sammy Coon was fur ious. He caught Jimmy Rabbit and shook him.

Why Are Some Women Popular

Why Are Some Women Popular, others drag out negative existence, of no use to themselves or anyone else? Except in a few cases the answer is to be found in a state of freedom from the troubles known as female. The well woman radiates cheerfuness and serenity, while the ailing one repels because of her lack of these qualities. It is not neces- sary, however, to harbor aches and pains, and the blues" that make one detriment to society. The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has brought relief to such women, and given them new lease on life.
