LAYFALL OF FRANC
|. TO POLITICAL MOVE
French Bankers Accuse Lon
don, But Say Tourists Gold
Will Save Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, August S.-The continued
drop of the franc in London and New
York is attributed in French bank
ing circles to political offensive"
in London.
France does not now need either
dollars or pounds sterling. as tour
lists are bringing in quite enough to
cover trade balances, it was said at
the Bank of France today. There
Is no big treasury operation or bank
ing move in progress that would in
fiuence exchange, and it was pointed
out that the statement OF the Bank
of France shows the situation to bo
quite as favorable as il was month
ago.
Financial circles are consequently
looking for an explanation in Lon
don. where considerable quantities Of
francs are still held. They contend
that even IN London the movement
sometimes has been the case. be-
cause the ran who sells francs at
eighty to the pound sterling will. in
the light of past experience. make
money only for those to whom he
sells
The conclusion of the fnanciers
who are endeavoring to follow the
movement is that the attack on the
franc i'll London is inspired by polit-
lCal ConSidera tiOnS.
We cannot prevent people who
own francs from selling them" said
a prominent banker. I'VE can do
regarding exchange only what our
premier is doing with regard to Ger
many-that is, to continue the even
tenor of our way. French finance has
Weathered other storms and is not
frightened by this one"

PASSING OTHER VEHICLES.

PASSING oAEtEFN tEhISLESs
All highway regulations in
this country provide that when
one vehicle meets another We
hicle it shall pass to the right.
This rule is very generally
obeyed. The regulations of the
District of Columbia and of
many states provides that when
a vehicle overtake another ex-
cept Il street car. 1t shall pass
to the left of the vehicle sc
overtaken. This regulation Is
only disobeyed by very small
number of reckless drivers who
sometimes take Il chance to slip
by on the right, risking their
own lives and the lives of per-
sons in the other vehicle and
the lives of pedestrians.
There are, however, few
simple driving rules which if
strictly obeyed by all drivers
would materially reduce acci-
dents due to the passing of We
hicles.
/. Never attempt to pass an
other vehicle going in the same
direction at d street intersec-
tion, on a curve, near the brow
Of hill or at any other place
where the road ahead is OBJ
scured from view.
=. When intending to pass an
overtaken vehicle, sound your
horn in sufficient time for the
other driver to know of your
approach and pull to the right
in time to allow you to pass in
safety.
). DO not pass another We
hicle, when going at a fast rate
of speed, as the other driver
may make an unexpected move
ment at any time.
(. Pull to the left at least
fifty feet in the rear of We
hicie you intend to pass. other
wise you may suddenly turn
out in the. path of one coming
from the opposite direction.
>. After passing Il vehicle do
not pull back to the right until
sure you have entirely cleared
il.

When Miss Bernice A. Finks, the
eighteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Finks of the vicinity Of

ents Wednesday morning 1t was with
the ostensible purpose of spending a
few days with an aunt on a farm a
few miles away. The young girl did
go to the place indicated, but that
she had other things on her mind
than enjoying the society of her
relatives was indicated when she and
William E. Coates, whose home is not
far from the Finks farm. arrived in
Rockville yesterday in quest of a
license to marry.
That the best laid plans of eloping
couples sometimes go wrong. how
ever, was demonstrated in the case of
the young people. Although they sue
ceeded in eluding the watchful aunt,
whose home they left early Wednes-
day night, and. accompanied by a
young man friend, reached Rockville
after a 120-mile trip by automobile
and train. they made the fatal mis-
take of not bringing with them the
written consent of the young mans
parents. Young Coates is but twen-
ty years old. and when he Informed

and his prospective bride found them
selves very much up against it." The
clerk had no alternative but to re-
fuse the license, despite earnest
pleading on the part of the youth
that an exception be made in his
case. Accompanied by their friend.
the couple departed from Rockville
presumably to return to their Vir-
ginia homes.
The couple admitted being run
aways. The young man explained
there was no objection on the part
of his people. but that the parents
of the girl consider her too young
to embark on the matrimonial sea for
a year or two
