marriage, also is a member of this
energetic young society. Neither of
the Senators is q native of the State.
Senator Borah is from Illinois and

FRANCE
HAS REALTY BOOM
FIorida-Iike Speculation on
Riviera Started by Paint
erS and Writers.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 17.--F'rance has her
Florida. and IL the boom along the
Riviera does not present the same
spectacular features that have been
reported about the American penin-
sula the two booms are along some
what parallel lines.
Painters and writer's were the first
to discover that the Riviera could be
more than a fashionable Winter re-
sort. They tried Summer residence,
as measure OF economy. and soon
number We're living there all the year
round. Bankers soon bought up the
land between Saint Raphael and Monte
Carlo.
Then the boom began. Municipali
ties began selling off public lands as
building sites and other municipalities,
not possessing common land, formed
improvement syndicates to take over
property and sell 1t in lots with the
purpose Of booming their towns.
Paris is covered with poster invita-
tions to buy lots and build above,
around and near Nice and Cannes. The
daily papers every day announce the
cutting up of some big private prop
erty for building lots.
Lots do not change hands with the
frequency seen in Florida, but many
are held on speculation. One piece of
land bought In 1923 for million
francs brought in seven million after
it had been cut into building lots.
Villages have sprung into being
where an odd house or two stood and
former villages have become towns.
AS there have been no restrictions on
the style OF building, the result is

PROGRESS SHOWN

Judged by its age and experience,
the State Society of Idaho is a mere
infant, yet none of the similar organ
iIations existing for a score or more
Years can display a more ambitious
or constructive program of develop
ment.
This assembling OF the citizens OF
Idaho now dwelling on the banks of
The Potomac dates only from October.
1924, when at the invitation of Repre-
sentative Addison Taylor Smith about
20 of his fellow citizens met in his
Office and proceeded to organize the
present society.
Walter S. Smith was chosen the
first president, as his father. the Rep
rensentative. could not take the new

meeting, Or. W. y. Johannessen was
elected president. Charles Z. Jennings

200 Keep Things Humming.
In trying TO gather in every person
in Washington who is or was a resi-
dent of the State, but 200 could be
signed and sealed. But this 200 has
done the work OF 1.000 and already
the young organization has registered
among the virile District forces. The
Idaho State Society believes that all
persons from the wide open spaces
now dwelling in the restricted East
should often get together and talk
about home. There are three or four
dances every season and at some Of
these functions there are card parties
also. Idaho day is celebrated annually
on March by a banquet at which
many distinguished sons and daugh-
terS of the State here participate.
But besides this worthy purpose.
the society has a definite and con-
structive object, and every resource
TO be employed in Washington and in
Idaho has been devoted to its sue
cess. Idaho desires that its marvellous
products, especially in the vegetable
line, shall be placed before the Ameri-
can public in its Capital City. There
is the white potato, for instance.
Nearly every one has heard of its de-
licious flavor. size and compactness,
and that an ordinary specimen of
"spud' in the Gem State will be ade.
quate for a family of five. This state
ment is taken as a mere figure of
speech when repeated by an enthusi-
astic Idahoan to the resident of

Own Hall Sought.

The local society is bending every
effort to have permanent display for
potatoes. pumpkins. turnips and many
other edibles. The definite plan is to
lease hall which will serve as CEN
trail point for all that concerns the
state. and principally to provide a
home for the dance and card parties
and the several business and special
meetings held during the year. This
hall also win furnish meeting place
for visitors from the home State,
where they may register and find at
their disposal the name and address
Of every resident OF Idaho living in
Washington and also the address
in Idaho. This will in itself be boon
and a unique service not yet fur.
nished by any organization in Wash
ington.
But the Idahoans here in Washing
ton have not thought to saddle the
burden Of maintaining such an elabo-
rate scheme on their society. On the
contrary, they have placed the mat
ter before the boards OF trade, the
chambers of commerce, the Rotarians,
the Kiwanis and several other clubs
throughout Idaho. The response is
said to be entirely satisfactory, but as
the work on this began less than six
months ago. 1t VIII be little time
before results can be observed.
Feasts Also Planned.
The placing Of the vegetable prod
ucts will be done by experts. and one
way TO convince the skeptical is not
alone TO show them mammoth units
but also TO prepare feasts every so
often and let them sample what Idaho
can do In this line. At the annual
banquet baked potatoes sent from the
State always form part of the menu,
and the guests are apt to dwell on
their excellence rather than on the
more ambitious dishes.
This years program of the Idaho
Society has been completed, except
for dance and card party to be given
late in May. Some notable functions
have been recorded this season, and
every meeting has shown a larger at.
tendance and more enthusiasm. The
annual banquet, held on March 3 at
the Mayfiower. marked the high tide
OF its annals and brought out the sons
and daughters OF the State and it's
admirers, not only from Washington
but from points as far away as Wis
consin. whence came this years guest
OF honor, Willim E. Donor, superin.
tendent OF the Menominee Indian Res.
orvation in that State.
For many years Mr.. Donor had
charge of the schools at the Fort Hall
indian Reservation, and this marks

Separate Prohibition Bureau
 Discussed Today

Washington, March Pl-Con- sress took up in earnest today the question of recognizing the prohi- bition enforcement activities Of the government when the ways anl means committee of the house began consideration of bill to create separate prohibition bureau in the treasury department
 The measure drafted by Represent tativa Cramton. republican, Michi- gan. has been favored by Secretary Mellon and Assistant Secretary An drews, in charge of the prohibition unit.
 Such q change is needed to curb diversion of alcohol and make fed cral enforcement more effective, Mr, | Cramton told the committee. Re sponsibility for individual law viola lions, he said, must be taken over in greater measure by state and local authorities.
 Legislation is needed, Mir Cramton said, to "dienify with q bureau the IGdC1llPIN lul COilIlS NIlll '''l lllN0' important national problem" States must carry on much of the police work" in enforcement. he said, but federal control must be strong enough to prevent laXity in one place from weakening enforce ment In surrounding territory" Milwaukee. in pre-prohibtion days, he said. was such a breeding place of "disrespect."

 The federal bureau should hav" control Of border patrols, he said as we'll as the issuing Of permits for withdrawals, In order to prevent 'leakagc."
 Assistant Secretary Andrews who followed Mir Cramton on the stand declared creation of a separate bu- roau was an essential step in the en- forrnmont plan.
