EDITH GOULD'S SILK
STOCKINGS A PUZZLE
COURT MUST DECIDE IF 65
PAIRS A MONTH is ENOUGH
FOR SINGLE PAIR OF LEGS.

PARIS.-Sixty-fve pairs of silk
stockings per month for single pair
of legs is the puzzle offered the Paris
courts in a new side issue of Edith
Kelly Gould's litigation with her hus-
band
Maitre Rosenmark, acting for
Frank Gould, appeared in the court
today to assert this was too many
stockings for any woman, and said
Mr.. Gould refuses to pay the stock
ing bill because he asserts it is be-
yond all reason.
Maitre Henry Robert, for Mrs. Kel-
ly Gould, asserted that whether o5
pairs is too much in a month or not
is beside the question. Mr.. Robert
claims Mr.. Gould is obliged to pay
his former wife's bills in Paris until
the Versailles court makes final de
cision on what share of his property
she gets.
The court of appeals, unable to
make up its mind on the stocking mat
ter, took the arguments into consid-
Grafton and deferred judgment week.

DETECTIVES CLOSING
ON "CAT BURGLAR"
SCOTLAND YARDS RECEIVERS
STOLEN GOODS VALUED AT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

LONDON.-Scotland Yard claims
that the net is closing around Lon
don's notorious ''cat buglar," the
leader of band of acrobatic thieves
trained in American methods who
have terrorized the city by most dar-
ing second story thefts.
A flying squad of picked detectives
working throughout last night and
combing the south London districts
discovered another big store of valu-
able articles stolen by the "cat."
A steady stream of men and women
called at Scotland Yard today to try
to identify treasures they had lost in
the recent series of robberies. Portions
Of the "cat" bands hauls recovered
by the police made glittering collec-
ton of all sorts of gems, gold orna-
ments and other valuables spread over
large tables and filling an entire room.
Glittering Collection of Gems.
A feature OF the last police recovery
was a pure gold bar valued at $4,000.
Lady Crews identified number of
articles as hers among the piles of
watches, diamonds, silver cigarette
cases, match boxes and expensive tot
let articles.
Scotland Yard men in their search
Of the underworld failed TO prevent
two daring office robberies and one
holdup last night. However, Scotland
Yards vigorous city wide drive against
the crime wave had an unexpected de-
velopment today when it was learned
that stolen goods valued at 100000
were returned intact 10 their owners
by the panic stricken thieves This
fortune included the famous Wernher
collection of Bath-house, Piccadilly,
which was stolen on June II in dar-
ing burglary.

COST 50 Million YEAR
TO ENFORCE DRY Law
FIGURES REVEALED BEFORE
COMMITTEE CONSIDERING
APPROPRIATION BILL.
30 MILLION FOR DRY NAVY

Coast Guard Chief Says Rum Snug
Cling Is About the Same in Extent.
Nearly 100000 Convictions Dur
ing the Present Year.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Federal
prohibition enforcement throughout
the United States mas resulted in an
expenditure of $58,OOO,O00 a year, it
was revealed w hen the treasury
department appropriation bill was re-
ported and, the testimony taken by
the appropriations committee behind
closed doors was made public.
AT the same time it was shown that
prohibition officials regard amendment
of the Volstead act as the only RENE
dy of the situation arising from the
absence of a uniform and authoritative
definition of Intoxicating in fact
Fleet of Ships.
OF the $58,000000 that will be spent
in enforcing prohibition next year $780,
100000 is for ships in the dry navy,
but it is estimated that prohibition
enforcement will be a permanent
charge of $30,000,000 a year even
though the 20 destroyers recondition-
ed and 1913 small craft built as rum
chasers last for considerable length
of time.
When Prohibition Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes was on the stand,
Representative Ware, of Pennsylvania,
developed his contention that, in addi-
ton to $10,2168S0 asked by Mr..
Haynes for the operation of the pro-
bibition unit next year, the depart
ment of justice estimates that one
third of its work is the result of pro-
hibition, land that would mean an ad-
ditional expenditure of $8,036,000.
Then the coast guard, under which
the dry navy" is operating, estimates
that half of its work is in prohibiting
rum smuggling, and that means an
additional $9,746,495 expenditure.
Ask S11,OOO,o00 for Enforcement.
The bill recommended by the com
mittee carries 100000 for prohibi-
ton enforcement for the fiscal year
1920, which is $341770 less than the
appropriations for the current year,
and $7S3,120 more than the amount
recommended in the budget. This will
provide for a total personnel OF 3,l37
According to figures presented by
Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
Jones more than 100000 gallons OF
Intoxicating liquors were seized last

more than 100000 gallons OF mash
were seized.

FARMING GETTING
BACK TO NORMAL
ENJOYING THE
BEST YEAR SINCE 1920, AND
END NOT YET IN SIGHT.

American agriculture will realize a
gross income Of about $l2000,0 100000
for the crop year 1924-25, according
to the annual report of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, recently handed
to President Coolidge. The report,
while stating that the condition of the
farmer is better now than at any time
since 1920, also declared that agricul-
ture has far to go before it will be
back to its pre-war condition
Prospects are that the gross in
come from the farms for the crop
year 1924-25 will be $12000,0O0,000, as
compared with $11, 500,000,000 in 1928
"a and $o,550,OO0,000,000 in l92l-22,
said the report. This years harvest
was the finest in FIVE years. 1t was the
best balanced and represented the best
income.
Reports an Increase.
"Yet it would be mistake to think
that the American farmer is done with
the troubles of the depression period
In the MAN, it may be said that the
year will bring increased income to
the surplus producing regions, to the
corn belt, and possibly to the cotton
states. The tobacco, fruit, vegetable
and dairy producing states will prob
ably not contribute much to the esti-
mated increase in the gross income
of the year"

ing event in the farm history OF the

UNDERWOOD SHOALS
PLAN SEEMS DOOMED
DISPOSAL OF PROJECT AGAIN
PUZZLES CONGRESS. BAT
TIE MAY HANG OVER.

Sentiment has turned and the I'm
derwood Mussel Shoals bill is on the
rocks in the senate. Three weeks ago
the bill seemed certain of passage, but
now it IS apparently doomed. Mussel
Shoals is living up to its reputation
and is providing more trouble. The
newest development may even make
it impossible for the present congress
TO settle the issue, thus carrying the
struggle over to the next congress,
which convenes in December, 1925.
Constant Attack Wins.
Three weeks ago it was freely pre-
dicted that the Underwood bill, which
provides for private operation OF the
power project in Alabama, had ad-
ninistration approval and would be
PASSED without difficulty. Constant at
tacks were made on the bill, however,
and the support finally wore down:
Now it is feared that the Underwood
measure will go the way OF the Nor
ris bill which provided Tor govern
ment ownership.
Congress took no action on the Un-
derwood bill before the Christmas mol
idavs, and it is believed that final set
tlement of the issue will not be forth
coming during this session

OUTLOOK FOR BIG YEAR
IS SAID TO Be BRIGHT
BANKERS AND INDUSTRIAL
LEADERS SEE EVIDENCES
OF PROSPEROUS ERA.
MAY SKATER ALL RECORDS

Dawes Plan Promises Economic Re-
covery Overseas, and This Means
Much to America. Domestic Factors
Said to Be Satisfactory.
Bankers, industrial leaders and bus
mess men generally are almost unit
as the present year closes in their be-
lief that 1925 offers an unusually
bright outlook In predicting business
conditions for next year the nations
leaders are echoing the thought ex-
pressed by President Coolidge in his
recent message to congress:
Under the assurance of a reason
able system of taxation there is ev-
cry prospect for an era of prosperity
of unprecedented proportions"
Dawes Plan Biggest Help.
These predictions are based on the
development during the year OF sew
eral important situations in the bust
ness and financial world. Most prom
inent among these-at least to Amer
ica--is held to be the settlement of the
German PREPARATIONS problem through
the adoption Of the Dawes report.
This action, it is believed, has re-
moved the greatest obstacle to the
economic recovery of Europe, and it
is recognized that this country, by
reason of being a big creditor nation,
is more or less dependent for its own
prosperity on that of Europe.
Among the most prominent domes-
tic factors in the prediction OF next
years prosperity are the easiness of
the money market and the huge sums
available for commercial credit and
business development.
In addition to these, merchandise
stocks are reported very low, railroad
traffic is at record levels, exports are
rapidly increasing, economy is prom
ised by several pending business and
transportation mergers, and, last but
not least the American farmer is be-
ginning to come into his own again.
Steel Outlook Improves.
The iron and steel industries, ac-
cepted as the best business barometer,
have rallied after several bad summer
months, and untitled orders for next
year are fast approaching what is
known as a prosperity tonnage"
New building construction during
the year reached the unprecedented
figure Of $5,O00,000000, but this huge
sum will be dwarfed by next years
operations, judging from the number
of inquiries already received by man
ufacturers OF builders supplies.
The automobile output fell ten per
cent below the high record established
in 1923, but even then 100000 new
cars were manufactured and sold.
Textiles the One Weak Spot.
The one weak spot in the industrial
outlook is the textile manufacturers.
Both wool and cotton manufacturers
found it necessary during the year to
curtail production sharply, as well as
to cut wages, work only part OF the
time, ard suspend dividends on their
stocks. A slight improvement in tex
tiles has been noted during the last
two months, but conditions are still
far from being satisfactory and the
prospects for immediate betterment
are not very bright
