FRENCH PRESSURE
TO SETTLE'GR0WS
Weight on Credits Is Heavy.
Country HumiIiated
at Situation.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, November 14.-What can
France do with the American debt is
the. question that thrusts itself upon
the attention of Premier Painleve and
Foreign Minister BRAND every day.
One plan after another has been aban-
doned. The pressure to find some
basis for settlement has been in
creased by the fall of the franc and
the Italian arrangement with the
United States.
There is a sense of national humilia-
ton In France, because she Is the only
debtor of the United States which is
not paying the war debt. The minis
ters and high officials are sensitive on
this aspect of the subject. and out
side of the government there is con-
siderable bitterness among the people.
Weight on Credit.
This is constantly evident to Ameri-
can residents. but even more than this
the American and English debts are a
weight upon French credit. 1t is not
that the government desires to borrow
money in the United States. The
policy of the government is not to
borrow in New York. but establish
credit for French importers to ap.
proyimately 100000 900 for the year
The official figures of the customs
department show that in the first
eight months in 1925, the balance of
trade with America against France
was 1,600.000,00O francs. French
stocks and raw materials derived
from the United States have been al
lowed to run down in the hope that
debt settlement and solution of in
ternal financial problems would i'm
prove exchange. AS there has been
neither settlement nor solution, i'm
porters will be obliged to renew their
stocks under present condition. and
the urgency of a settlement Is being
constantly forced upon the attention
of the Government by commercial in
tereStS.

Fish Reveal Ages
 by Circles on Scales
fBy Associated Press)

SEATTLE, April 21.-Salmon and trout like rattlesnakes, have a way of telling their age, according to John N. Cobb, director of the college of fish cries of the University of Washington.
 Every year adds series of half circles to the scales of trout and sal mon," said Dean Cobb Each series is distinguished from the preceding one by a line. The lines are similar to those on cross section of a tree, and the method of telling the age of a fish is like that used by woodsmen to ascertain ages of trees.
 Salmon reveal the amount of food consumed each season. When sal mon have good year with plenty to eat the lines are wider than in lean years
 Experiments are being conducted by Dean Cobb in telling the age of other species of fish

LONDON, Apr O.-Moneylenders, who have heretofore charged interest ranging from up to several hundred per cent, are in for a considerable re- duction in their gain if a bill introduc- ed into the House of Lords by Lord Carson becomes law.
 This proposes that the rate of inter est charged shall not exceed 15 per cent unless the lender proves a high. CT charge is not excessive, and that the transaction was in all circumstan. ces beneficial to the borrower. On loans not exceeding S1OO, interest is not to be more than 10 per cent per annum. All loan documents must spe- cify the amount actually advanced and the interest charged.

BOTHERED BY GOLD GOSSIP STAR TAKES TO HAAK WALTON
(Ry Associated Press1

LONDON, Apr. 21.-Miss Joyce Wethered, whom the British consider the best woman golfer the world has ever known, likes to go fishing so much that she is cutting down on her golf Not so long ago she decided not to enter any tournaments at all this year, except the British open cham pionship for women But she reserv- ed the privilege of changing her mind, and now says she may take on tour nament or two before the British wo- men golfers go to Troon in May to withstand another of those invasions from the fairways of America.
 When it was first learned that Miss Wethered intended to keep away from the constant round of feminine tour naments this season, gossips spread the word about that she was tired of the carryings-on of enthusiasts every time she met, or seemed likely to meet Miss Cecil Leitch, whom she de- throned as queen of Britain's golfing pastures.
 From the eager eyes and chattering voices of the feminine gallery at each of their encounters in the past, an alien observer could easily assume that the populace looked upon the bat tie as one reeking with personal feel ings, as much a fight as game.
 This gossip reached the ears of the champion, whereupon she let it be known that she and Miss Leitch were good friends, and declared she had other interests than golf, among them tennis, to occupy her time. Most of all, she said, she wanted more time for fishing.

Huge Supplies of
 Whiskey now Under
 Guard in Kentucky
(By Associated press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.- There are 2O,OOO,00O gallons of pre- prohibition whiskey now in storage in Ithe United States, under government supervision, and it's owners, mostly wholesalers caught with the stock on their hands when national enforce ment became effective, can not dispose of it except as the government may di- rect.
 Prohibition Commissioner Haynes believes the government should pur- chase this whiskey most of which is guarded in 2S concentration warehous- es located largely in Kentucky. Legal ly, he points out, there has been no whiskey manufactured i'll this country since January l. 1922, and the stock now on hand being gradually expend- ed for medicinal purposes, Mr. Haynes estimates, will be sufficient only for another seven years.
 About 1928, four years before the present whiskey stock is exhausted, it is expected that the government will authorize the manufacture of whiskey so that four-year-old spirits may be available as medicine at the time the pre-prohibition supply has become ex- hausted Consumption by prescrip- tion is now about 1,75O,OOO gallons an nually, MT. Haynes says, compared to some 3O,OO0,OOO gallons of whiskey be- fore prohibition.
 There is no legal demand for rum, officials of the prohibition unit de- clare, and the 5000 barrels of this product now on hand will likely be ex- ported
 Commissioner Haynes says the amount of pre-Volstead liquor now in the hands of the people is indefinite ly small"

lieve, will prove a costly tactical
blunder to- the supporters of auto
cratic militarism. 1t will enable Nit
chell to open the entire aircraft con-
troversy, prove the truth of his con-

However, no matter what Mitchell
may be able to prove in his defense,
we expect the court, composed of a
jury of less than a dozen officers, to
find him guilty as charged.
On the other hand, jury of some
sixty million citizens, who have read
the evidence and who are really better
qualified to render an unbiased opin-
ion, will not only find Colonel Mitchell
innocent of any crime but will honor
him for his courage and his patriot

How should A play the combined hands2
After winning the second trick with the
king of hearts, A should lead the king
of spades. He should then lead low
diamond and win the trick in BIS hand
with the king. He should then lead a
low spade and win the trick with the ace
in his own hand. In this particular hand,

and lead the eight of hearts. If B plays
the ten, I should play the king and
then lead the nine. If B plays low, Z
should play the nine, forcing A in the
lead. A can now lead a heart or a spade.
If the former, L wins the trick and
leads spade. If A leads the ace and
small spade, Y will win the remaining
tricks In either case therefore, ALB can
only win one spade and one heart trick
so that w win three of the FIVE tricks
against any defense.

Should you bid one no-trump or one
spade? This is very close hand. Per
sonally the writer prefers spade bid
but would not criticize a no-trump.
These two hands are indicative of the
difficulty that still confronts auction
players who have not yet mastered the
proper bids of the dealer. The dealer is
in peculiar position for he can always
give exact information. For that reason
he should strive to bid correctly. To
pass under certain circumstances is
just as bad as to bid incorrectly. Don't
pass sound bids for to do so is just as
misleading as an unsound bid. Your
partner depends on you as dealer to
give exact information both by your
bids and your passes, SO strive to do so
at all times.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-11-13

Z failed to follow suit on the second
round of spades. A was now in posi-
ton where he could count rs hand
very accurately. Y's lead of the ace and
trey of hearts and the fact that B held
the deuce indicated that Y originally
held only two hearts. Therefore L must
have held six hearts. rs bid and rebid
of clubs indicated that he must have
held at least five clubs so that his orig
inal holding must have been six hearts,
FIVE clubs, one spade and one diamond.
Therefore, A at the sixth trick should
lead a diamond and fnesse the jack.
Played in this way, ALB should make
their contract for w can only make
the ace of hearts and two spade tricks.
Play out the hand for practice.
