PARlS, July y
T HERE is a rush to Europe this
year from the United States.
All agree on that. There are
L more ships carrying Amer
leans over to Europe than
there ever were before. Agreed. How
many American tourists does that
make for Paris?
BY and large, it is now said that
the total number of passengers for
Europe from America will exceed the
800, 900 figure which has been ac-
cepted commonly. Not very much, of
course, for there are not enough YES
sells crossing the ocean to carry many
more than that number-or even that.
And not all go to Paris-far from 1t.
Let us be generous and agree that
possibly 10000 money spending Amer
leans will get to Paris this year.
In the year 1900, with it's great
worlds fair which every one wanted
to see, the total number of Americans
passing through Paris was, in the
largest calculations, not 100000. There
were not enough steamers to bring
more, and there were not enough
hotels and boarding and lodging
houses to hold them, even when well
distributed through the whole season.
And what restricts the number yet

This year, no doubt, there Is more
room all around. Owing to immigra-

there are few emigrants coming back
to Europe, and what would have been

real tourists, those who wish to see

How much average spending will it

honeSt-to-goodness tourists in Paris
this year? And how much profit or
benefit and use will it be to Paris?
A family of three grown-up per.
sons, one man and two women, told
me they counted on making the whole

and back to the United States, In

Money for Parisians
From u. S. Tourists

and we have $500 apiece for board
lodging, sightseeing and buying
things in London and Paris. What
does Paris get?
Except at the very big and swell
hotels, Paris is cheaper than London
and SO are sightseeing and taxicabs.
On the other hand, shopping in Paris
is more tempting, particularly to
women. So it costs more, although
even in Paris clothes prices are also
lower-for women find 1t out and buy
more. And so. out Of the $500 to be
spent per head In the two cities, we
will allow $500 to Paris alone.
Along come our American million
aires and pay from $40 to $40 a day
for their hotel rooms where my friends
paid from 81 to 81. A very few may
spend $500 head where very many
spend IS. We have to strike an
average. We have to remember that
woman tourists have saved UP in
order to buy all sorts of womens
things when they get to Paris.
A moderately high estimate will
give $3.50 as the average amount spent
by American tourists per head in
Paris. Taking this with the very
high number we have accepted for
such tourists in the present year, we
have $50,000,000 spent this year in
Paris by Americans actually there
that is, tourists. At the present rate
of money exchange, this is more than
1,000, ,000, 900 francs.
This means that Paris, through
her ho&e1 and shop keepers, has ex-
ported into the stomachs and on the
backs of Americans on the spot prod
ucts for which this amount of money
has been paid down. This is called
invisible exports" 1t Is certainly
profitable export trade, with no diff
ficulty Of transportation. All Parisians
and most Americans concerned think
the deal is worth the money.
OF course, even tourists do not take
food and sleep home with them, ex-
cept in the form of brighter health
and bigger travellers tales. But a
great part of their money is spent on
Paris articles hat, earrings and
perhaps an anklet, more than one
dress, coats and capes and a scarf
and pairs and pairs of gloves and UNI
brellas that are parasols. The man is
lucky If he steals away with a briar
pipe, such as grows in the French
mountains.
Two American ladies', ordering a
cab in the morning at their hotel, said
in their best French-"Louvre." Their
intention was good and they really
meant the museum, to see the Venus
de Milo and Mona Lisa and the rest.
The cabman took them straight to
the big shop of the same name. What

both to the change in composition of
the paper and the elimination of the
sizing process, forced the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing to speed up
its process of manufacture to such an
extent that no time could be allowed
to seasoning From the time the pa
per was received by the bureau it was
rushed through its various processes
of manufacture to completion and de-
livered to the treasurer OF the United
States in from three to four weeks.
The discontinuance of the season

brittle and easily mutilated, and it
was discovaSed that they were not re-

longer than six months. In numerous
cases they did not last six months.
ITO meet the demands the Trea sury

as a consequence the quality of the
currency deteriorated to such an eX-
tent that there is a constant complaint
from banks all over the country. who

diminishing is best demonstrated by
the reports of payments of Federal Re

paid into circulation. in 1928 $780,

Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, has repeatedly urged the
old-fashioned cartwheel, the smacker-
the silver dollar-as a remedy for the
existing situation.
Following the violent fluctuations
in the price of silver during 1920,''
the Secretary states in his recent an
nual report, there was a substantial
decline in the number of silver dollars
in the hands of the public, and since
that time the circulation of these coins
has been considerably below the level

End of tuberculosis.

TWENTY-FIVE years from now
tuberculosis will be as uncommon
in the British dominions as leprosy is
today, according to DR.. C. W. Saleeby
of the London Medical Institute He
also predicts that infant mortality will
be reduced to almost nothing and that
successful ways will be discovered to
combat cancer. Largely through pre-
ventive methods the death rate from
tuberculosis has steadily decreased in
the United States. In 1910 the fatali-
ties from this aff1iction of the lungs
were nearly 140 for each 100, 900 popu-
lation and in 1922 less than 100.

circulation had dropped from 1900 900
in 1910 to 81 900, 900 in 1924, he con-
tinued:
Efforts have been made from time
to time to restore this coin to its for
mer place in the currency structure.
Federal Reserve banks have sought the
assistance of member banks in an ef
fort to keep the silver dollars in ac-
tive circulation. Owing to the fact,
however, that the cost of shipping
dollars falls on the member banks,
while the cost of shipping paper cur
rency is absorbed by the Federal Re
serve banks, this effort has proved
unsuccessful. Furthermore, there was
no real demand for silver dollars,
since the public became accustomed
TO using paper dollars and gave no
consideration to the fact that the ex-
cessive use Of paper money of this
denomination was adding an appreci-
able sum to the expenses of govern
ment.
The Treasury is now endeavoring
to acquaint the public with the desir-
ability Of accepting silver dollars as
an auxiliary to paper money. Plans
have been formulated to increase the
circulation to the extent of $40 900, 900.
and the various departments of the
Government have been requested to
silver in making salary payments to
Government employees throughout the
United States.
There are many reasons" explains
the Secretary, why the silver dollar
should be restored to its former i'm
portance in the currency structure. In
the. first place, the life of the silver
dollar is indefinite, whereas that of
paper dollar does not at most exceed
IL months. A paper dollar costs 1 7-10
cents to manufacture and keep in cir
culation. If the Treasury, therefore,
can restore to circulation 10000, 900
silver dollars in continental United
States and 10000, 900 in our insular
possessions, it can displace equal
amounts of paper currency and effect
an annual saving of $S2S,000 on this
item alone The use of the silver dol
lar is not an innovation. 1t has merely
lost it's place in the circulation in GER
tain localities, and all that is proposed
is to restore a very limited amount of
these coins as an auxiliary to the pa
per currency"

The United States notes are those

the speaker related. there are not as

of people fully approaching that
