Millions of Dollars
Hoarded in France

Paris.-All oyer France men and
women for years have been boarding
American currency. 1t became avail
able in large quantities with the COM
ing Of American soldiers during the
war, and the French were quick to see
its value. Today people are wondering
how many dollars are concealed in the
"woolen socks" of the republic.
Recently a Frenehman living in
Chaumont, who kept a candy store
during the war, disclosed to a friend
a strong box containing over $12,5O0 in
American bills of various denomina-
lions, which. he said, he would sell
when the franc reached 20 for 81.
There are a good many men In this
town alone who have more than L"
this man declared.
The exact amount Of American cur
rency left in France by American sol
diers and officers will probably never
be known, but many believe that If a
canvass of Brest, st. Nazaire, Bor-
deaux, LIE Mans, Tours, Chaumont, AK
le-Bains, Vichy, Dinard and the sur
sounding localities were made, the
total would be nearly $5.000,O0O.

Check Forger Learns to
Sing While in Prison

Berlin.-Paul Hartmann, once a repu-
table business man, who forged checks
because of the insane movement OF
mark exchange, obtained his release
from prison by proving himself an
artist fitted for a stage career as a
singer. Hartmann, who mad never sung
before, expects now to enter vaude-
Vile as a singer.
A staid, if INSCRIPTIONS, business
man when arrested, he was stricken
dumb when led in handouts past his
old-time associates. He was put into
a cell with the singer, Walter Woiak,
who had been convicted as a profteer.
Woiak began training the voice of his
fellow prisoner, who as d result recov-
red his speech sufficiently to defend
himself and win his release, while at
the same time his singing voice was
developed.

Count Boni's Own Story

Next to the great Napole IN
Bonaparte, and some of the French
generals Of the late war, perhaps
Count Boni de Castellane's is the most
widely known French name among
Americans.
Napoleon won for France a great en-
pire, and lost it. Coun' BoDi won for
himself a great American heiress,
Anna Gould and lost her.
Boni was q pioneer in what soon
became, among hard-up foreign
noblemen, the great new indoor sport
Of fortune hunting among American
girls of great wealth.
In next Sundays New York Sunday
American. Count Boni tells how he
found himself with a proud title and
exhausie ed bank account, how his
ancient ancestral estates, as well as
his noble self, needed funds for
maintenance and upkeep, and how he
skillfulIv, resource fnlly and persistent
ly pursued the latest ~money-bag that
was then in sight on the American
matrimonial market. And the noble
Count also frankly re calls many
strange things behind the scenes in
fashionable high life, where he once
blazed like q star of the firsT magnitude
and then faded into obscurity as the
Gould millions slipped from his
grasp.
The story of Count Caste lane is be-
ing continued in the Sundays editions.

Farm and Garden Notes

An old fruit-grower says that the
pick is the best tool he ever used
around apple trees when the ground
has become too hard. He sinks the
pick 8 OF 10 inches INTO the soil and
merely prizes the dirt loose, and does
not disturb the roots in this way
Every farmer should plant trees N

as plain shade trees.

OVERWEIGHT At CERTAIN
AGE INVOLVES DANGER
U. S. Health Service Advises 10
to 20 Pounds Below Average.

Washington. - Mortality experience
indicates that overweight at certain
ages involves serious danger, the de-
gree of danger increasing with the ex-
cess in weight over the average for
height and age. At younger ages, how
ever, a limited amount of overweight
appears to be of advantage or asso-
ciated with more favorable mortality
conditions, overweight persons of such
ages having a uniformly lower death
rate from tuberculosis.
These are among the conclusions
drawn from a study Of mortality sta
tistics by the United States public
health service. The records Of insur-
ance companies indicate that after 30
years of age overweight even in rela-
lively small amounts begins to be dam
gerous, the seriousness increasing with
advancing age and amount OF over
weight. Other conclusions based on
these records are:
Among short men-that is, these be-
low 5 feet Z inches-at the age period
forty to forty-four years, an excess Of
20 per cent In weight involves an add
ed mortality of 30 per cent above the
normal. A 40 per cent excess In
weight In such individuals involves an
increased mortality Of nearly so per
cent Among tall men-that is, those
over s feet 10 inches-the adverse
situation is wen more marked; for
among them, at ages forty to forty
four, a 20 per cent excess in weight
carries a 40 per cent increase in NOR
tally, and a 40 per cent excess In
weight doubles the mortality.
On the other hand, underweight in
general is an advantage, If the per-
centage is not too great. 1t is a
serious impairment in early adult life
but from the age of forty onward
there apparently are no such penal
ties, and this condition, in fact, be-
comes a distinct advantage, for these
are the persons who have the best
mortality rates.
ut would seem that the records Of
AlouA dnIC SOLupuAACo AAAAN0NS N
there is an optimum weight-that is,
a weight-height ratio in relation to
age that Is associated with the most
favorable mortality experience, and
that this optimum weight, or best
build, is no the average build" says
the service. ut Is stated that those
who weigh between 10 and 20 per cent
below the average show the optimum
condition for longevity at most ages
beyond early adult life.
Discrimination must be made be-
tween types of build of overweight
persons. it being shown that among
overweights having a large chest ca
pacity the conditions of mortality are
more favorable than among those of
small chest capacity. Oyerweights
who have large trunks are better risks
than those having small chests and
large abdominal girth."

and one day the pavement happens to have a wet spot or a little help less cotterpin gives up in grief, or the brakes get so hot under the col lar that they refuse to work, and the result is heard in a simple, sudden crashing smash!
 The car-track crossings is a habitant of large towns and cities. He approaches, gliding at high speed in the grooves of the rails, tc' another track crossing and. thinking because of his smooth approach he is entitled to a clear sweep. he does not bother to slow down. WhiZ-across the tracks he swishes, grazing a street car, a truck, several motor cars and half dozen pedestrians. Then he sticks his head out of the side. looks backward and grins at the con sternation he has caused. That same grin is on his face when, later, he is hurried to morgue-only then, I must say, the grin Is more horrible.
 A relative of his Is the fear r-fling- ng-fanatic who emerges suddenly from a side street into a more trav- eled artery Approaching cars dodge and swing from his path. trying to prevent accident. The hearts of pas sengers leap to their throats, fright ened grips are clamped to braces, screams break from the women and, usually, by the astral influence that guards the fate of fools, the fear fling gine-f fanatic is saved.
