France, Aug. 10.-An old man turn
ing 65 years sat in the parlor OF his
shanty-like. ore-story abode at the
seaside and told me why he came
out of retirement, which had en-
gulfed him since he won the war
for France, to write a sensational
letter regarding war debts to Presi-
dent Coolidge.
The man was Georges Clemenceau,
the Tiger Of France"
His story was simple. compared
with the intrigues and deliberations
which surround most documents of
such importance.
IN tell you the truth about that
letter." he SAID.
II know the Americans II ever
there was a people that loved France
it was the American people. They
make mistakes like all of us. but
you have done such splendid things
that we could only give America
that final French praise-that they
are such chic people.

Accident Insurance Costs
Cut-Auto Theft Charges
Boosted.

1t is safer to drive in Indianapolis
this year than it was last year. In
surance underwriters nave lowered
the odds of their offers to bet mo-
torists they will not have an acct

The new auto insurance rates re
fleet a transition of the Indianapolis
police department into a traffic rule
enforcement organization. accord.
ing to Charles A. Woerner of the
State insurance department.
Rates on liability ard collision in
surance were reduced materially.
but, theft insurance rates were boost
ed an average Of Is per cent.
Stricter Enforcement
woerner declared stricter enforce.
ment of more traffic rules by police
is chiefly responsible for the reduc-
ton in collision and liability rates.
More general use Of four-wheel
brakes, non-skid tires and other acci.
dent prevention equipment helped
bring the reduction, but not in the
same proportion as better enforce
ment and increased observance Of
traffic ordinances, he said.
The increase in theft insurance
rates is due. almost soley. to the
steadily increasing number Of thefts
of accessories which are never re-
covered. Insurance companies are
annually forced to pay thousands of
claims for replacement Of stolen
motometers, tires, tools and other
equipment.
Most Autos Recovered
Because more than 80 per cent of
the stolen automobiles are recovered.
these thefts have little If any effect
on the rates.
The committing Of accessory thefts
Is recognizable by police, whereas
the stealing of an entire automobile
always is not recognizable, as thief
driving away in an auto ordinarily is
thought to be the owner.

$1,000 Liability insurance from the
average $24 premium of last year
to an average of $14 this year.

Some theft coverage rates mounted
as much as 25 per cent. The smallest
increase was 10 per cent.

When the fourth rescue shaft,
pushed forward by hours of gruelling
labor, was within a few feet of the
men, a strata of inhpenetrable rock
was encountered which made
further progress impossible.
Seek Aid BY Plane
Other rescue attempts have been
frustrated by the seepage of water
from an underground lake. Another
disastrous impedient was the break
down of essential machinery. A
plane sent to Memphis for repair
parts had not yet returned this
morning.
Only a few of the thousands who
came here to offer their services in
the rescue work cling to the hope
that some peculiar twist of the rock
stratas exist to admit sufficient air
to support life in the tomb-like
pocket in which the men are trapped.
Relatives Abandon Hope
Relatives of the five men who
have waited patiently for days and
at last given up hope.
They cannot, however, be per-
suaded to leave the mouth OF the
rescue shaft.
About two thousand persons from
this and neigrboring communities
still waited curiously about, watch

rescue work almost impossible.
Alternate crews have worked day

sort or another.
The five miners were trapped in
their underground prison when one
Of them raising his pick. to jar
loose a particularly large chunk of
dirt, struck down into an under
ground lake which spurted water in
the shaft.
Flee Backward
Coming in front OF them as it
did. the water forced the men to
flee further into the underground
channels.
Some of the men in the shaft at
the time managed to escape and
give the alarms. Immediately the
word went round that the men were
hemmed in by the flowing water and
faced the drowning death of en-
tombed rats in medieval ages.
But engineers. thinking quickly,

Where the Tariff Helps

Livesay Brothers, of Bend, Ore
gon, made net profit of $l450.4 G
on their flock of $50 White Leg
horn hens for the year ending Dec
ember /. They found that their
eggs. which sold for an average of
10 cents dozen, cost them Is
cents to produce; the total re-
ceipts for their flock were $7.9s
per hen, and the cost was only
$3.50 each. The flock average was
2l2.5eggs per hen.
The Livesays buy their chicks
ready Matched, and they sell nc
eggs for Matching; they run an ex.
elusive reproducing plant. They
propose to increase their flock to
1000 hens, which at the rate of the
present flock would make theirs
the most famous egg farm in
America.
They have not asked for new
laws, remission of taxes, extension

They have simply taken up the
business at hand and are putting
their best energy into it-and il

prosperity, but they can help il
