BANK CLERKS OF
FRANCE STRUCK
FOR LIVING PAY
Communists Take Lead
in Wage Raise Demand

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-(FP)-"The
strike of 10000 bank clerks in Paris,
Cherbourg, Mines, and other widely
separated cities of France is indica-
tive Of the increasing difficulty Of the
workers Of France to make both ends
meet" says Hays Jones, Federated

the diminishing value Of the franc

surprised at the low wage they re

fected by this strike, clerks have told
me that they receive 20 francs a day.

THE $4,000 Paris clerks are not all
the city's financial workers by any
means, but they are enuf to indicate
that the banking institutions of the
city are severely crippled. This is
further shown by the fact that the
minister of finance is afraid that the
strike will hurt the new French gold
basis bond issue. With the support
OF 10000 clerks in the provincial cities
they should win their strike.
The cost of living has risen rapidly
and steadily in France and especially
in Paris.

MEAD TO RETAIN
RECLAMATION POST
Commissioner to Stay for
Another Year After Urging
From Project Settlers.

Elwood Mead, commissioner of
reclamation, will retain his post for
another year. His decision became
known yesterday when he applied to
the University Of California for a
second years leave of absence from
the position of professor of rural in
stItutions.
Several kilograms were received by
Ir. Meade from Western reclamation
projects urging him to remain. One
Sron the Kittitas reclamation dis
t"ict in Washington stated that I'VE
feel that your resignation now would
be calamity to the Reclamation
Service, and undoubtedly the new
Congress will possess a keener in
rellect than the old"
we sincerely hope" continued the
message, that press reports to the
erect you will resign are not true.
We appreciate more than we can say
the good viii you have shown toward
us and our project. The public is
just beginning to appreciate your
program for future reclamation"
The commissioner is said to have
Senators that they will exert every
his salary raise. He feels, it is said
that the Reclamation Service deserves
recognition as constituting one of
the most difficult problems in the ad-
ministrative branch of the Govern
ment, having to deal with thousands
OF settlers to help them increase their
earning powers and their ability to
repay the Government the construc-
ton costs.

CHANNEL ISLANDS FOLK
CLASSED AS TAX DODGERS
British Citizens Pay on Income
But Little Over Sixpence
to the Found
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LONDON, February 1S.-With each
change of government in England
| there is a class of British citizens
resident in the Channel Islands known
as tax dodgers who get the 'wind-up'
regarding possible legislation to make
them come In nne with regard to the
income tax which iE being paid cheer
fully or uncheerfully by their broth
ers resident on the mainland.
The rate of income tax in the Chan
mel Islands works out at a little over
sixpence to the pound against four
shillings and siXpence in England
and it is reported to be the intention
of the British treasury to invite Jer-
sey and Guernsey to pay an annual
contribution of half a million sterling
to the exchequer in return for the
same benefits as other parts of the
empire enjoy.
If this is done the authorities in
those islands, which levy their own
taxes would have to recoup them
selves from the populace, which has
increased largely since the war by the
immigration of British civil servants
and people who have made money
RAPIDLY since 1914, all seeking to
evade the taxes now current in Eng
land.
The advent of Winston Churchill as
chancellor of the exchequer has
caused these tax dodgers some per-
turbation They fear he will ask the
home secretary to suggest some pay
ment by Jersey and Guernsey which
would eventually. affect the individ-
uaTs pocket.

at 7:15 o'clock, in the kenilworth
Chapel Final arrangements were
made for a hike on the 2Sd. Monday
the captain, Miss Nellie Dunkley, with
II girls, started out on long hike in
Maryland. After six miles of hiking,
camp was made on the top of hill
from which could be seen the dome of
the Capitol, nearly 10 miles away.
The girls found a fine spring along the
roadside, and the spot made a very
nice camping ground. The dinner OF
fried ham. bacon, potatoes and baked
beans tasted very good after the long
hike. After dinner another walk of
a mile and a half brought them to the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railway, by which they made
the return trip. . While hiking they
were on the lookout for signs of
Spring, but, nevertheless, had great
surprise when they saw between 25
and 80 bluebirds among the birch
trees near the roadside about mile
from home. There We're also a few
robins, too. This was their first hike
since October, and all had wonder
full time. The troop recently was de-
lighted with a visit from Mrs. j. H.
Franklin.
Troop 40 met at Chevy Chase Pres
byterian Church February %. Mrs.
PuEh, 4 future scout captain, WIN
Margaret Holland, visited the troop.
Mrs. Young. the captain, held the
regular classes in scout work. Then,
after several important points were
decided upon. the troop took bird
hike. during which bluebird, grackle,
English and song sparrows and
finch were seen; also four squirrels
nests and an orioles nest.
The Langley Girl Scout Troop held
a meeting Friday, the Goth. The pa
trolls worked on signaling and birds,
and then had relay races and knot
tying races. This meeting was fol-
lowed by a special meeting of the
court of honor.
Troop SO of Lyon Park, Va, had a
most interesting meeting Saturday.
Mrs. Charles r. Lindsey and Miss
Dorothy Greene of the Washington
troop committee conducted the meet
ing They congratulated the girls on
their activities, and later invited them
to a river picnic to be given in the
early Spring. The prize for the most
perfectly proportioned flag was won
by Mary WHITAKER. The Brownies
had a story hour with Mrs. A. Orr.

Whenever you ask a scout what

TWIN BROTHERS
MAY MAKE
ELEVEN

The Brown University football
eleven this year is quite likely to
present twin brothers playing next
to each other. The twins are the
Morey brothers, who have been
rowing for the New York A. C.
this summer as a preparation for
their football work at Providence.
They rowed on the senior quad In
the national regatta at Philadel'
phia last week.
The husky Moreys were on the
Brown freshman eleven last season
and made their mark in SO brilliant
a fashion that they are regarded as
certainties for the varsity line this
fall. Before coming to Brown they
played football at Mount st. Mary's
College, in Maryland, under Mike
Thompson.
Brown has lost quite a few vet
Grams, and If the Morey twins prove
all they are reported to be, Ed
Robinson will greet them with
super-enthusiasm. The Bears have
an unusually strong schedule which
is featured by the first visit Har-
ward ever has carded for a Brown
gridiron. Yale, Penn, Dartmouth.
and Colgate also will visit the new
Brown stadium.

Iris Speaker Tells Bambino
He Is Still Picking Up
Pointers on His Job
Nv BABE RUTH

DETROIT, Aug. 17.-Trls Speak
er has been galIoping around the
outfield quite some years. And he's
pretty good. Believe me he knows
lot about playing the outfield, too.
The other day / was talking to
him. Know what he said? Babe,
he said, Tim learning something
uesv about playing the outfield
every afternoon I'm out there. I
guess If q fellow lived to be a
hundred years old. and played base
ball every day, he'd still have a
lot to learn"
Seems to me there's real
sermon I'm that for amateur
players who want to make good.
A lot OF boys figure that as soon
as they make the team, they can
just drift along and play ball.
But. there's lot to learn.
The fellows who make good in
baseball are the fellows who keep
plugging along, picking up pointers
every day and studying the game
all the time. Not so many years
ago two catchers came up to a
big league team One of them
stuck. The other one went back
to the minors.
The fellow who stayed up got a
bit chesty. He figured he knew 1t
all--and in two years he dropped
back. But the other fellow who
was shipped away started in to
study catching as a business. And
he's the chap who took the job
that was open when the chesty one
went back to the minors.
That's the way It goes. A fell
low never knows all there IS to
know about baseball. And there
never was q fellow yet who was
so good that he couldn't be bet
ter, or learn a lot from playing
every day.
I know amateurs play ball be-
cause, they love the game. But
Just the same they can learn a lot,
the same as the professionals. And
whether they ever want to turn
professional or not, they can enjoy
baseball lot more If they'll just
keep on trying, to improve them.
selves and get better and better.
iris Speaker said, 81 guess I'd
still have a lot to learn If played
every afternoon for a hundred
years." If he feels that way about
it, I guess it's a tip off that the
kid on the sand lots can learn a
lot, and must learn lot before he
becomes a real ball player.
