PARIS, September 10.

PARIS, September 10.
IN the human agslomeration which
constitutes greater Paris of
1000. 900 souls we have first to count
out more than 100000 who are grown
up and not married and are a law to
themselves. This leaves 750.00o fami-
lies more or less. Three-fourths of
all these expect every year, regu-
larly in the warm weather. to have a
vacation or go on leave or take a re-
for some days. Nearly all the unmar-
ried go and, in whole or in part, half
a million Of the families. The rest
expect to take one whole day or sew
eral somewhere away and out Of
Paris.
Where do they all go-in a general
way, I. mean? For there are one
thousand and several hundreds of
seaside resorts, watering places and
mountain and other touring stations
which have been licensed by the
French government. This license is
necessary for advertising and for
casinos or water cures"or amusement
places. if only for the overnment
tax. But this big number of health
and pleasure resorts is not near
enough for all the inhabitants Of
Paris and Lyons and Marseilies and
other large cities who cry at the
same time Of year-'Give US rest"
Where can they all go? Let US be-
gin with the upper ten" those who
are born with a silver spoon in their
now.
The rich in France seldom cross
the Atlantic. Some Of them try the
Norway tour and more go to Eng
land and Scotland and many used to
frequent Switzerland. which is right
at their door. All Europe west of
Russia is ridiculously small to Ameri-
cans for the noise it makes. 1t is
not more than a dozen of our good
sized States and trips from New York
to Omaha or Denver or Texas, would
cover pretty near all the distances
from Paris to any place where one
would care to rest.
Since the war, the French have
been keeping more and more to their
own country. They lose too much
when they change their money abroad
and there are other reasons why they
get more Joy out Of life at home. And
then they can meet all the world and
his wife at the most expensive and
ultra-fashionable French resorts.
During the short season at Deau-
men and women you see as many
Hollanders, who are scattering pro-
digiously the money they made on
both sides during the war; twice as
many. South Americans, who never
lack fine clothes or money for the
gaming tables; three times as many
English and Dominion people and
four times as many United States
Americans. This sounds correct.
After the rich, who can spend
money almost as Americans do. there
come the average we'll to do French
families. For these, no country has
so many fairly cheap summer resorts,
where you can have board and lodg-
ing under 40 francs a day, that is,
about - OF course, the women have
to be prepared with new hats and
gowns, but Frenchwomen arrange all

development OF this vast area by

Wiseman."
The Seattle headquarters Of TIL
Signal Corps was communicated with
and a response came back that an or
Ger to convey wireless equipment to
Wiseman and establish station
there would be promptly complied
with. The order went forward, and
now the completed station is about
ready to operate.
Showing cooperation. the popula-
tion of Wiseman agreed to construct
the wireless building and maintain
the Government operator to be as
signed there. Accordingly. Pvt.
Clen, who was a member of the Sig
nal Corps staff at Fort Yukon, was
assigned the task of getting the
equipment 10 Wiseman and connect
ing up the station.
The trip from Fort Yukon to the
isolated spot of Wiseman was made
on the Yukon and Koyukuk Rivers.
Ulen and his equipment being trans
ported by boat from Yukon to Nulatd
and thence on the koyukuk River
eastward to BEETLES. and thence on
the middle fork of the koyukuk Riy-
er to Wiseman. ITEMS small craft

are hauled the food supplies and
other freight desired by the popula
tion OF Wiseman. Mail. too. is car
ried by the same route. with eight adj
ditional deliveries each year.
With the establishment of the
Wiseman radio station, immediate
communication with the outside world
will be available TO the mining com
munity.
United States Army Signal Corps
wireless stations are now in operation
at the following Alaskan points:
Bethel, Circle, Craig. Fairbanks. Fort
Egbert, Fort Yukon, Fort Gibbons.
Ruby, Holy Cross, Iditarot, Juneau,

mentioned station being the farthest
north until the Wiseman station is il

places that families knowing each

Ssy-and so succeed in marrying off
their daughters and their sons. too.
These families usually leave Paris
| in the latter half of July. when the
schools close and the children are
given their freedom. Many go first I"
the sea and then, in August, to the
mountains, or do cures at springs
or cheaply board out here and there
and everywhere.

they say, that is, with small means
manage as best they can. They do
a bout the same as the many en-
! ployes, that is, men and women living
| on wages from government jobs or
| big shops or factories, down TO the
! least employments. All these manase
to break the year by getting a few
days away from city life. If it is
family keeping a little shop of it,
own, they put up the shutters with
note on the door when they will be
| back-or they take turns among
! themselves. Employees get from 10
days to a month universally.

Where do they go, often for less than

| Here we come on one of the pc
culiarities of French life. The ma
| jority of the French people are peas
ants that is, farmers or working
on farms. From them all the other
classes are recruited. You Will sell
dom find a French workman or
| woman who has not relatives living
in the country, and glad to take
them in. Half of the French wage
earners in industries are sons and
daughters of peasants, and half the
rest are grandchildren. And SO are
| the school teachers and post em-
ployes. The unity of the French peo-
pie is based on this family union.
Now for the poor kids, whose
parents have no money and no coun-
try relatives for their vacation. In
most of the Paris wards, provision
is made to send from 1000 to 1000
such school children to the country
for two weeks in relays. Teachers
| accompany them to care for them,
and help at games and walks, and
make them acquainted with fields and
trees. I have seen wonderful note
books of such children from the poor
est quarters of Paris.
For the sick poor, Paris is opening
more and more health house by the
sea and on the hills, but never
enough. STERLING HEfAIG.
