Frenchmen, believing that Ameri-
cans see the gayer side of life in
Paris and thereby get the impression
that the French as individuals are
not suffering from the financial situ-
alton, have presented figures showing
that consumption of food and wine
has greatly decreased compared with
former times.
Only two-thirds as much wine was
drunk in Faris during March of this
year as during March, 1925, the fig
ures show, Less bread was eaten and
more cheese consumed than a year
ago. Bread and wine, it is pointed
out, are the chief items in the French
peoples diet, and the reduction in
their consumption is cited as proof of
frugal living because of hard money
conditions.

LONDON, May 17.-George Steven
son was not the inventor of the loco
motive contends David Brownie, who
recently read a paper before the In
stitute of Marine Engineers, in which
he credited Richard Trevithick, Corn
ish engineer, with inventing the mode
of conveyance which has been a
major factor in changing the world.
In 1897, Brownie said, Trevithick
produced his epoch-making invention
of the internationally fired cylinderi-
cal "Cornish" boiler, and made in the
same year his first model steam loco
motive, which is now in the South
Kensington museum. In 1901, Trevi-
thick constructed at Cambourne, Cor

on the roads and was the first au-
thenticated practical mechanically
driven vehicle in the history of the
world, Brownie stated He said
statements that Stevenson was the
