BICYCLE "'t; tC;:Hi,RLS7NAS!| +,
FRANCE HAS One
BIKE FOR EVERY
SEVENTH PERSON

Every midsummer in Paris, while
the annual "cyclist tour of France
is in progress, statisticians get busy
and compile the latest figures on
French bicycles.
The tour, by the way, which is
the classic among such events
throughout the world, lasts about II
month and covers 3.400 miles Prac-
ticallv the entire population of
France watches the progress of the
contestants as it is reported IN the
daily papers and hundreds of thou
sands watch the straining riders as
they pass along the roads OF their
long circuit. 1hc route starts at
Paris, proceeds northwest by way
of the Harve, Cherbourg and Brpst
and continues OH around the rough
paralleogram which marks the boun-
Diary of the country, the principal
stops being Bayonne, Perpignaf,
Nice, Metz, Dunkirk and finally
ends at Paris. The racers, several
score in number, encounter all the
extremes of temperature and wealth
er ranging from burning sunshine
TO snow and from thick dust te
thicker mud. The winner is held as
hero and feted throughout the
country.
Bicycles in Big Demand
While the number of automobiles
in France is steadily increasing, the
bicycle remains the chief personal
means of travel for most lovers OF
the open air. There are now more
tEan 100000 automobiles i'll France,
but the number of bicycles is ten
times as great.
French manufacturers dominate
the bicycle trade, producing many
types at prices considerably below
those of foreign firms. There is
some import trade. however, Eng
land supplying most of the foreign
types. In 1924, imports of bicycles
and parts into France were valued
ut about 100000, as compared with
about $1.400,000 i'll 1913. Exports
on the other hand, III 1924 were
worth more than $5,000,000 as com
pared with $1.306,0o0 in 1918.
France can boast of one bicycle
for every seventh man, woman and
child of its entire population. Off
eial figures for 1924 show that g.,
310,644 bicycle licenses were issued,
an increase of 532.72l over 1928.

Billings, August 3.-Rapid strides
are being made toward the completion
of the Billings Deaconess hospital,
that is now the largest building under
construction in Montana, according to
the Rev. Charles d. Crouch, in charge
of the erection of the building. The

will probably be finished within a
week. Workmen are now approaching
the roof and the few remaining brick
will soon be in place. The members
of the hospital committee estimate
that the building will be ready for &C.
cupancy early next spring.
Applications for the position Of sup
erintendent of the hospital, that is the

the United States, have been received.
The national committee will, at a
meeting to be held in the near future,
discuss the several applications and
make a selection.

UNDER ONE TRIBUNAL
All Free State Railroads Combined Under Policy of Unification As AL formative To Nationalization,

Dublin, Feb 10.--All the railways in the Free State have combined un- der q policy of compulsory unifica- tion adopted as an alternative 10 na- tlonalization. There were more than 80 of them altogether, all with boards of directors and indepen- dent staffs, and 16 Headquarters.
 The unification has now been completed under the supervision of special railway tribunal, and com pcnsation has been paid to the dis continued directors and staffs. The new unified line bears the name of the Great Southern Railway, and It's total mileage is 2,O52. The amalga- nation scheme does not effect the Great Northern Railway which has it's headquarters in Belfast and op- crates principally in the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland. The Free State has power over this line so far as it operates between Dublin and the Ulster border, but has not exercised that authority.
 The Railway Tribunal has decreed that the amalgamated company shall reduce charges by 12h2 per cent.

Keep Boys Awake Late,
 Make 'Em Sleep SOundly

The novel theory of keeping boys up late at night was advanced by Frederic l.. Fay, educational direc- tor of the local Boy Scout council, in his talk at the fourth session of the scoutmasters' school held last evening in Elks' hall, Mr. Fay sug- gosted this as desirable on overnight hikes so that, when the boys go to bed, they would get real sleep, say ing that few hours Of this is better than a whole night of ftful rest broken by "fooling."
 Driving home his point that scout ing endeavors to develop leadership, he claimed that the scoutmaster who can develop q boy to take his place should be retired on a pension by the community to live in peace for the rest of his days. He explained prob lems fin connection with the selection of leaders in a troop and answered questions which had puzzled his pupils,
 Col. W. W. Bullen, vicc-president of the local council, spoke to the class and said that boys today were no worse than their fathers had been; in fact, with the aid of scout ing, they could be made better. Several games were played, the men entering into them with all the vim of renewed youth. There were fl men present.
 The New Britain council will hold its annual camp reunion and ban uuet at the Boys Club Saturday evening. Rev. Samuel Fiske, scout master of Troop l Of Berlin, will be toastmaster. Each troop will put on a stunt of Its own origination.

WILL RETURN S1,O0O. FROM STORM FUND
Cost Of Snow and Ice Removal
 Will Be S9,000

With a continuance of the present thaw and the groundhog's prediction of an early spring, the board of pub lie works is hopeful of turning back a balance of about $1,000 out of the $10,000 transferred to that depart. ment to pay the expense of snow and ice removal. The department has had but two serious storms this year to contend with. The first, which occurred two months ago cost the city ap- proximately $2,5O0. The more re- cent storm was not only a heavier fall, but heavy coating Of ice made it more difficult to clear the streets and larger forces with larger pay rolls resulted. To date the storm has cost the city about s5,000 and there is still work to be done.
 When the first fall of snow came, the board found itself without funds to clear the streets. At the recom- mendation of the board of finance and taxation, the common council ordered transfer of s10,000 from the emergency account to the public works ice and snow fund. It now appears that this amount will be adequate to the city's needs for this year unless more storms occur.

WARNING AGAINST
 NARCISSUS' TRAIL
Urges Discoqragsnent Of GIadia-
 torial Spirit in England

London, Feb. 10.--Discourag ment of what vas termed the gladiatorial spirit, which has been reported creeping into the British schools, was urged recently by Dr. II. Crichton Miller in an address to members of the British Association of Physical Training on the subject of Hygiene for Adolescents. Educationalists, he said, sought sim plification of life in generalizations, and the physical training expert was liable to believe that every body needed physical training. Dr. Miller, however, did not believe this to be universally true, and there were certain youths for whom physical training was bad.
 Referring to Greek mythology, Dr. Miller spoke of Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection in the waters of a spring. There were Narcissians today who made themselves the object of their own love and who cultivated their own bodies to an extent which was actu- ally dangerous. He challenged the congratulations on which he said many physical culturists based their enthusiasm. Dr. Miller con- tended that generations hence self confidence among school boys would be based entirely upon the values of intellect and character.
 Today the physical animal factor predominated, and consequently a great many adolescent boys were going wrong in their character de- velopment owing to their physical makeup.
 Dr. Miller advised the association members not to think merely in terms of chest expansion when dealing with individual require ments of their pupils, but rather of character.
 We have here in London a sta dium accommodating 120,O00 per- sons which has been used for a boxing match that was all over in 60 seconds" asserted the speaker. This should furnish HIS something 10 think about. Even in schools, the way in which watching a game of football is considered as part of school loyalty far greater than play ing the game, is serious ten- dcnCy."

Menton, France, Feb. 10. - Mar shal Petain, as a second lieutenant 40 years ago, served two years in a small post near Sospel on the French-Italian frontier. Second Lieutenant Petain, whose resources were rather slim took his meals at modest inn kept by young girl of remarkable beauty.
 Recently Marshal Petain. repre- senting the French army at the un- yelling of monument to the war dead here, decided to take the trip into the mountains and visit the scene of the garrison life as a sec ond lieutenant. The marshal ad- mitted to his aides that he was anx- ious to see how the former beauty of the inn looked after 40 years.
 He found both the inn and Its owner grown considerably larger Forty years had worked great con- trast, however, in their respective appearance. The inn. refreshed with paint and reconstruction, had become considerably younger, while all the paint in the world could not hide the havoc that the years had wrought upon it's once fair owner
 Don't you recollect a second lieu tenant called Petain who frequent ed your place some 40 years ago, the marshal asked of the old wom- an at the end of the meal when he saw that she had failed to recognize him.
 "Oh, yes" the lsndlady replied simply, little Pctain, why he must be at least a captain by this time
