Proprietors of Monte Carlo and
Business Men of Monaco at Odds
President of France Hot Radio Fan

Paris, Sept. 4. P}-A state Of war exists
between the business folk of Monaco and this
directors of the Monte Carlo Casino. Trouble
started two months ago when many shop
keepers, disconsoate over the failure of the
present season closed their shops. Then the
Casino authorities forced the municipal council
of Monte Carlo to pass an ordinance requiring
all business houses, banks and restaurants to
remain open twelve mopths next year closing
not more than two Sundays and holidays in
any one month.
Transient firms, such as dressmakers and
jewelers. under this law would lose many mil
lions of francs since they plan on moving stock
and employees from resort to another. The
average de luxe shop in Monte Carlo never
expected to be open more than six months in
the year.

GIRLS SMOKING MUCH

Heavy smoking by large numbers Of
London's girls and women, many of whom
consume package two Of cigarettes a
day, is held responsible in large measure for
the fact that the authorities are being forced
to add another story TO the huge tobacco
warehouse at the London docks. The present
building, through which all imports pass, has
become far too small.
Dealers about the city confirm the idea
that the growing demand for tobacco on the
part of the female population is one of the
prime reasons why tobacco imports have
grown from about 10000 tons in 1910 to
nearly $4,000 last year.
Look at the number of girls and women
who smoke nowadays and look at the amount
they smoke said the head of one OF the
largest retail tobacco firms. Before the
war women smoked comparatively little Now
a substantial percentage of our customers are
women and girls, many OF whom smoke from
ten to twenty cigarettes a day"

AUTO DROPS into
RIVER IN Maine
Woman SWins to Safety After
Being Imprisoned Co.,

Bath, Sept. 3 P)-Miss Bertha NJ.
Heath, of Lunenburg, Mass, and
Miss Harriet West of Northampton,
Mass, narrowly escaped death by
drowning Monday evening when the
| light coupe in which they We're driv-
ing onto the state ferry slip at
| WoQlwich, broke through tho chain
stretched across the end of the slip
and plunged into the waters of the
Kennebec. Imprisoned in the car,
which was submerged in the water,
one of the young women smashed
the glass in the windshield with her
foot, and both crawled through the
opening into the water.
Swim to Safety
The young women would have
been drowned but for the fact that
they are both efficient swimmers,
and when Earle c. Sawyer, former
state highway patrolman, and now
ticket agent at the Woolwich slip,
saw the car dash over the edge of
the slip he rushed to the edge. BY
the time he reached there the young
women were swimming about in the
water. He lowered the slip until
they were able to reach the edge of
it. From this perilous position they
were lifted to safety.
The two were later taken to the
home of one of the crew of the
ferry Governor King, where they re-
NAMED for the night, being given
dry clothing and made as comfort
able as possible. Both were cut
about the arms in breaking away
the glass in the windshield Of the
car and in drawing themselves
through the opening made. The
cuts are not deep ones, and the
young women apparently sustained
no serious effects from their trying
experience. ...

He tried to think out what life was

and they wanted great many

it all, she gave it to Mr.. Hall. He

The stores charged SO much that We
had to buy the bed on instalments.
I'll never forget the day they deliv-

everything. Mother and hid it in
the garnet, and didn't dare bring it
down till it was all paid for, for fear
of what father would say. We knew
from experience. 1t was always
trouble, trouble, trouble about
money.
We used to get sick over the quar-

Once we had an awful time over

parlor were old and rickety. Moth
CT and I saw a wicker chair in a
store window and wanted to buy it
but mother didn't have enough even
to pay an instalment.
Well, anyhow, mother saved
enough out Of the housekeeping
money to make payment and we
got the chair home. When it WAS
paid for at last. we brought it
down-and then the heavens pretty

STORES CLOSED FOR VACATIONS

Frenchmen in business shut up their store for

all classes which are family affairs just lower
their iron shutters for a month and the whole
family goes to the seaside or a mountain
resort.
The American may take his vacation, but
he sees that business as usual continues In
his store. The Frcnchman believes that the
family should get away to the country or the
sea for Il month and they all go together. He
is sure his clients will be back with him when
the store re-opens, and, anyway. he argues
many of his clients are away on vacations so
why should he keep open for the few who
