High Cost Of Gas
 ArOuses Wrath Of Gotham Consumers

New York, June 16-Is it possible that Nsw York city, having the t1nest rap1d transit systems in the world the Hast word in most public utili- tics and consumption capacity whose very size should guarantee the ef- facy of the quantity production theory of economy, possesses the most antique method in America of producing common illuminating gas.
 This is the charge made by the City Parliament of Community Councils, in asking Governor Ediller to fire the chairman and the other four mem- 3ers of the Public Service Commis- sion-''
 The irate consumers declare that in spite of the fact that gas is man afas2tured on 0 larger scale. materials are purchased in larger quantities and all ether conditions arc at least equal TO those Of other cities the price of gas in New York is far in excess of that charged in most other rnuni- fsonne cases being almost twice as much
 The Community Council members ellege that the basic discrepancy in Inent of the twenty-tw o-cand dlepower unit, which, they aver, was adopted primarily for the purpose of furnish gas for lighting purposes With the advent of electricity, they argue, and the development of the gas man. tie in such places where gas is still used for lighting the use of gas for heating and cooking purposes has be come paramount Because of this they urge the adoption of the British thermal unit-the basis employed in thirty-five states of the Union.
 Statisticians have figured out that not more than 10 per cent. of the gas consumed in this city is for illumin- ati1g purposes.
 The protesting groups have hinted strongly at partiality by the commits sion members to the interests of large oil concerns, from whom basic supplies are purchased by the gas cOfnOanieS

Dalton Ga, June 16.-Efie Jones. midnight in color, super;at;Yely round as to gtrth and 9, female Florian Slap pey as to sartorial appearances, re- gently removed from Cohutta, Ga. to Dalton and, without formal introduc- ton to many Of the social leaders in the oioing car and Pu1lTnen belt of Dalton, struck out on a course that has lifted her among the sensational ly famous Of this district. Fife, without blowing a horn, send ing out announcements, or anything walked right into the Baptist cherch here, while colored brethern and sis ters sat in open-mouthed astonish- rnent and envy, wearing suit ot knickerbcckers.
 Fife zephyred through the front door, paraded down the aisle-no mean aisle, may it be said-and then crossed over in front of the pulpit,
 while the congregation lIid down sonsbooks and forgot the chicken for dinner. She had on gray knicker- bocl1ers and silk stockings Around her ample bosom there was draped a silk shirt-regular silk shirt-the striped, stick candy kind Around her and also striped-stin collar, and a mans necktie dangled from it Efhe's crowning glory was sport cap
 Ellie reached her seat in absolute silence, but a whoop resounded as she sat down. For a time the ser vice was threatened with riot, but the minister saved the day and Fife by beginning his sermon And his ser mon certainly was an interesting one for he told the congregation about his travels and the styles he had seen, bringing the speech to a climax by announ ncing that never, never had he seen such styles as women were wear ing.
 There is talk of a church meeting to discuss women's clothes, but Elf fie is not worrying. She says she will wear 'em whenever she feels like

High Living Costs Retarding France
 in Debt Payments

Paris, June 16 - The high cost Of living in France is blamed by the French Minister of Finance, M. dc Lasteyrie, as one of the principal fac- tors preventing France from ba1anc- ing her books so that her ezpeudi- lures for 1923 will not be greater than her income.
 The Finance Minister explained ha the Chamber of Deputies that 192a would see about four billion franc1 m ore spent than France could ppss1s bly, collect from her various sources of income during the year. There have been steady reductions in army appropriations This year 5,000,O00,, 900 francs will be spent on the naili4 tary machine. Tn 1913 the military appropriation was 1,807, ,0oo. .0ot francs
 "One must consider the diu1in1I, tion in the purchasing power of the franc if he is to appreciate the inn portance of this reduction" explain. ed the minister. 'tAt the present time the five billion francs actuaIIJ 1907. 900, 900 francs did in 1913."
 Rene d'Araal. writing in the gau, lois, explains that the deficit of foa1i billion francs in the 1923 budget is exactly equal to the amount of inter est France is paying on eighty billion francs she has had to advance t4 make up reparatfons payments, whicI under the terms of the Treaty Of Yer
 
 Germany.
 In the general econorny drive al attempt was made to eliminate thu high cost of living supplementary allowance to government employees This amounts to about s70 a yea each. But despite a one-third i'm proyement in foreign exchange tn cost of living is still going up. Int Paris press has been filled with dis cussion concerning the soaring price, of bread. meat and vegetables. Tn government decided that it woun be quite impossible to cut out tn extra living allowances.
 No extra taxes can be levied, ac cording to the committee Studyin the budget. The government sup ports this view. The French peopl are now taxed five times as much a they were in 1914; they cannot stan m ore. The government is seekim m cans to prevent tax q lodging, which according to debates in the Oharrbes has been practiced or large scals

TARIFF WAR HAITING
 COMMERCE IN FRANCE

Paris, June 16 = An appeal to the French Cabinet to make every effort to bring to a close the tariff war with Spain that is tying up commerce be- tween the two countries has been made by a group of southern French cities, including Bayonne, Biarritz and Pau. According to the appeal the basis of the war is influence ex- erted by certain French wine inter ests for protection against Spanish wines, and the result of the tariff wall is a tremendous influx into Spain of German manufacturers.
