 OLYMPIA, Wn., Jan. 26.-A meas ure drawn and ready to introduce in the Washington legislature would give the governor complete authority to prepare and submit a state budget to the legislature, and would prohibit the legislature from increasing any sums, except by two-thirds vote. This bill is expected to take prece- dence in the shortened session over two companion bills afoot, one creat- ing body composed of three persons experienced in taxation, which would be appointed for six years on a salary of $6,000 each annually to take over everything relating to taxation; the other bill requiring real estate con- veyances to give the true sales price for guidance in assessments.
 The city is filled with representa- tives of special interests affected by the Hartley program, including State Republican Chairman Fitzgerald, and President Suzzallo, of the Washing ton University, also President Holland of the State college.

 French Cuisine Standard
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 26.-M. Louis Forest founder of the famous Club des Cent the Hundred Club-whose object is to keep alive the best traditions of the French cuisine, entertained the members of the American Club of Paris recently with talk on ''The Intellectual Value of the French Cui- sine" The speaker likened the art ol the cuisine to music. declaring that it took as long to form good cook as it did to make good mu- sician, and pointing out that in more senses than one real art was Gues- ton of exquisite taste. The finer appreciation of the good things that grace the table, he declared. was an essential training to the liner appre- citation of all other arts.

HOARDED GOLD STOPS
FINANCIAL RECOVERY
Two Billion Francs Estimated To-
tai in Frances Traditional
"0ld Stocking"
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 24.-According to
conservative estimates there are two
billion francs in gold coins hidden
away in the traditional odd stock
ing of the French people, and IL
France had this hidden gold at its
disposal the country's financial situa-
ton would be distinctly improved.
Every kind of appeal but one has
been made to induce the holders to
let the state have their boarded
coins, and, during the war, much was
recuperated under patriotic influences.
What remains seems to form an
unattainable residue as far as the
state is concerned. Every now and
then, however, cases come before the
courts wherein people are condemn ed
for going round the country buying
up 20-franc pieces, which they induce
the hoarders to surrender in return
for from 40 to SO francs. Their real
value is more like 20 francs, but this
traffic is illegal and dealers in 1t
need high rates of profit.
Jose Thery, a financial writer, is
advising the state to offer enough
paper for gold to bring out this two
billion. Theoreticians, he says, will
be shocked at the idea of the state
admitting its 20-franc gold coin is
worth more than it's 20-franc bill.
The humblest field laborer knows
this, so what harm can the states
admission do? he asks.

Russian Museums Yield Persian Coins
OF Reign of King Artaser.es, 465 BIC.

Valuable archaeological discoveries
in the form OF Oriental gold coins
and a seal of Persian monarch,
either Of King Artaxerxes I, who
reigned 465-424 B. c., or Artaxerxes
III. who was monarch from 359-33s
d. C., have been brought to light by
scientists in a survey of material
packed away and forgotten in store
rooms and vaults of Russian mu-
seums. The Russian information bu-
reau made this announcement tonight
based on information received from
the Joint information bureau in
Moscow.
The seal. carved on cylinder of
chaloedony, depicts the king, in war
rain nt, leading three prisoners, the
whole being framed with branches of
date palm. A Persian Inscription
on the seal reads: II am Artaxarxes,
the Great King" The seal will be
exhibited in the Oriental section OF
the Fine Arts Museum in Moscow.

sary to fill entirely and the water

Something must be done with these
basins, II Is said, after the new water
system has been put into use in 1921
A suggestion has been made that
they be turned into an athletic
stadium, with the wall separating
them torn down, and that the entire
area be given over to athletic fields
But IL the District Is to proceed with
the construction of bathing beaches
II would appear that one or part OF
one of these basins could well be
used for that purpose. The reser-
voir is close by Rock Creek Park

sons.

doubtedly one should be constructed

at the Post Office Department in Wash
ington. After a controversy extend
Ing oven 10 years, the State Legisla-
ture has adopted a design proffered
by the Women's Relief Corps
The new State banner Is OF solid

whose petals inclose and surround
the State seal. Above the sunhower

satisfaction by the people. These
artificial beaches and pools are kept
in hygienic condition. They have
been carefully built and in many
forms.
Some of the cities which have con-
structed bathing beaches for the use
of the people are Omaha, Nebr.; Fort
Worth, Tex: Pittsburg, Kans.; Kan
sas City. Mo-; Memphis. Tenn; Min
neapolis, MINI; Lawrence, Mass.
Scores Of others have their pools and
beaches. too. The most popular pools.
It IL said. are those which provide
both wading and swimming. Some
are constructed with the deep part
in the center and with sloping floors
all around.
Figures Are Cited.
Stanley Pinel. In q pamphlet on
outdoor swimming pools, published
by the Iowa State College of Agr-
culture and Mechanic Arts, says that
as a result of study made OF sew
eral swimming pools II was found
that each swimmer requires a mini
mum of 20 to SO square feet Of area
in which 10 swim, depending on the
type OF pool Those which are used
only for swimming must provide a
greater area per person bathing
Several State boards of health have
held that there should be 900 gallons
OF water for each person using a
pool at one time. In any ordinary
pool there is much more than this
amount Of water provided, Mr.. Pinel
said.
The problem in Washington is to
afford the maximum use of the facili-
ties for bathing with the minimum
of danger. With no large municipal
bathing beaches, and the river avail
able-even though polluted-the bath
ing will be largely limited to men and
boys, and the women and little chill
dren will be unable to take part. The
Board of Trade, through its public
health committee, headed by DR.. Percy
Hickling, has looked into the bathing
problem since the recent action of
Congress, and has adopted recon-
mendations OF that committee looking
to construction of a large municipal
swimming pool to be used In conjunc-
ton with the small pools already in
existence.
