NEW MAGAZINE ERA IS
PREDICTED BY COMBINE

NEW YORK. Feb. 10.-The ap-
pearance on the newsstands today
OF the combination of Cosmopolitan
and Hearst's International Maya
zines has caused speculation as to
whether this may be the first
move in the consolidation Of ma.
tionaI publications similar to the
wave of newspaper consolidation
which has been moving over the
country for the last two years.
There are on the newsstands to-
day more than ten times the num-
ber OF magazines that were there
ten years ago. AS result competi-
ton in the periodical publishing
field is intensely keen, and those
on the inside predict that only
super.magazines will survive.

MONEY to Pay England and

By FRANK 3. MASON,
InsernAtlonal News ee-viee.

PARIS. Feb. 1o.-Money with
which to pay Frances debt not
only to Great Britain, but to the
United States, must come from
Germany, French newspapers were
almost unanimous today in de-
claring.
The reaction followed a close
study of Great Britain's note to
France that France should obtain
from its natural resources the
money to pay its debt to London.
French public opinion will never
permit international debts to be
paid from Frances resources, It
was the concensus of the news
papers.
julie Sauerwein, commenting edi-
torially in lie Matin, warned the
government, 'tit is doubtful whether
majority ever could be found in
any French chamber which would
agree to France promising to repay
her creditors irrespective of the
amount received from Germany"
lie Louvre said:
"The British plan violates Frances
baeic international debt policy"
LIE Louvre gives this principle" as
German payments must cover our
payments"
A foreign office spokesman de-
clared that the ''pessimistic COM
ment in the newspapers does not re-
fleet the government attitude. The
government considers the British
note a serious offer and suitable
basis for negotiations"

longevity. Regular eating, healthy
outdoor life and refraining from
taking medicine has been her way
Of reaching this remarkable age.
Miss Hestcn declared that the
modern girl cannot be compared
favorably with her grandmothers
and that the pace they arc now
going is not conducive to longevity.
When was a girl we stayed
at home to help our mothers" de.
clared the centenarian. Nowadays
the girls use their homes only to
sleep In. and chase out all day IN
automobiles with their boy friends.
Young people walk less than we
did. and therefore do not get
enough exercise. which makes them
less healthy and more susceptible
to disease"

she continued, there was far less

she declared. neither drank liquor
nor smoked cigarettes and men

FRANTIC EFFORTS MADE TO FIND NEW PASSAGEWAY TO COLI
Pilots Association
Must Pay Federal
Income Tax

: RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 1O.-
Commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue. Blair has ordered John q.
Noel, collector of internal reve.
nue. for this district, to demand
an accounting of the income Of
the Virginia Pilots Association
for the past five years, and its
individual members, 1t was
learned here today.
This action has been taken,
it was said, after an inyestiga-
tion has shown neither the as
-sociation or its members have
paid any income taxes during
this period. In the opinion of
Commissioner Blair, both the
association and its members
come within the provisions of
the Federal income tax law.
Collector Noel said today that
an approximation of the amount
of taxes owed the Government
had been made. He refused,
however, to disclose any figures
in connection with the case.
