The middle of a frozen pipe
should never be thawed first, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture, because expansion of
the water confined by ice on both
sides may burst the pipe. When
thawing water pipe, work toward
the supply, opening a faucet to
show when the flow starts. When
thawing a waste or sewer pipe, work
upward from the lower end to per-
NIT the water to drain away. APP
plying boiling water or hot cloths
to frozen pipe is simple and effect
i've. Where there is no danger of
fire, a torch or burning newspaper
run back and forth along the frozen
pipe gives quick results. Under
ground or otherwise inaccessible
pipes may be thawed by opening
the frozen pipe OH the house end,
inserting a small pipe, pouring boil
ing water into it, pushing it for
ward as the ice melts. More thaw
pipe should be added at the outer
end until passage is made through
the ice, when the thaw pipe should
be quickly withdrawn.

Auto licenses were due Jan. l
and must be paid on or before Feb.
Is. Automobile owners should not
delay in paying their license taxes
in the belief that the final date will
be extended. The legislature is not
in session in 1926, so it will not be
possible to extend the final date as
was done last year. The law states
that license payments become de-
linquent Feb. 16, and hence there
can be no extension.

TOURISTS REPORTS
" ON FRANCE ALARM
Stories Expected to Sway
: Attitude of Congress on
Debts and World Court.
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

According to reports received here,
German tourists in Paris this Sum-
mer and on the Riviera last Winter
were guilty of more oStentatlous
spending than were the Americans.
These facts are leading to a deeper
consideration of the recent anti
american outbursts. President Cool
idge himself has been half inclined to
blame unthinking Americans for flour
iShing their plethoric bank rolls in
the faces of the impoverished French.
The President has gone so far as to
ask American travellers to be more
careful.
. But when it is learned the Ger
mans who have been able to visit
France during the past year have
spent and lived on a far more elabo-
rate scale than the average American,
1t is very evident that the outbreaks
were not directed at American spend
ing, but at the nation as a whole be-
cause of its debt attitude.
A Washington doctor and his wife,
just back from France. say they had
10 fee the French capital in fear of
their lives. They say French gen.
darmes were complacent over the Ill
treatment of Americans. A sight
seeing bus filled with Americans was
turned over in the presence Of the
police, who made no effort to render
assistance. 1t is claimed. This re-
port has added somewhat to the
seriousness of the situation. but the
more formal reports as to German
spending have given the most inter
eSting angle to the French pSychoI-
ogy or lack of psychology.
Germans Demanded Luxuries.
1t IS true there have been more
American tourists In Paris this SUM
mer than ever before. 1t Is also true
there have been more American Visi-
tors to France than Germans. But on
The Riviera last Winter 1t was differ
ont. Americans who spent the cold
season there say the Germans were
, in the ascendancy and that they de-
manded more luxuries than even the
richest Americans. The French peo-
pie seemed to fraternize with the Ger
mans in a spirit of real camaraderie,
while Americans were treated in a
manner that was stiffiy polite, to say
the least.
The Washington physician. DIR. Fred
Repetti, just back from Europe, con.
firms the Winter reports as to the
Germans by saying that this Summer
in Paris German tourists everywhere
; were treated with far more considera.
ton than the Americans. Even on a
trip to the hattlefieldS, DIR. Repetti de
clared, the Germans were shown
around with the utmost courtesy
while the Americans at times were
even jeered.
Government officials on duty here
In Washington are fearful that re-
ports similar to those given by DR.
Repetti will be repeated many times
when the tourist tide turns homeWard
and feel that much ill will toward
France will be engendered. This feel
ing will be quickly reflected in Con
gress and will make further debt deal
tnGs with France all the more diff
cult. The recent OutburSt of Tiger
ClemenCeau did not help the situation
by any means, and now each story
of returning Americans will but add
fuel to the fire

Seeks Treasure

A. Logan, manager of the mapping di-
vision Of the Fairchild Aerial Surveys,
left New York today for treasure
hunt In Nova Scotia, which he says
may net him at least 100000 and
perhaps 100000.
The treasure was the cargo of a
French pay ship" which fell into the

Island about the year 1900. After

vessel managed to sink the treasure
IN Canadian lakes, but were prevented
BY the English from returning to
claim 1t. All trace of 1t was eventu-
ally lost and repeated searches failed
to give hint of it's whereabouts.
Major Logan declared faith in an
old Spanish narrative, an account of
how the treasure passed into the hands
Of Spanish privateer. The captain
Of this vessel hanged the Frenchman

was prevented by the French from
