WAVE OF SPENDING
ABATES IN FRANCE
Buying Orgy That Deluged Stores
Found Americans Sharing
in Bargain Jams.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 22.-Ths spending
orgy, in which French housekeepers
at the start outdid bargain-seeking
American tourists, seemed destined
this morning to die down.
That part OF the Paris populace
which went to bed early last night
learned from the morning papers that
the Herriot cabinet had expired dur
ing the evening and that former Presi-
dent Poincare, ardent patriot and rigid
economist, had been called upon to
form cabinet embracing as many
parties as possible.
This did much to restore confidence
In the national currency and was ex-
pected to act as check ON the tour
lists who have been replenishing their
wardrobeS with suits and gowns at
$40 each and hosiery at 80 cents, as
well as garnishing the inner man
with 50-cent dinners, ~ champagne
and 10-cent cocktails.
Big Stores Besieged.
The craze for turning paper francs
into something tangible started early
Monday, when housewives 'besieged
the big provisions and department
stores to lay in supplies of domestic
All classes of society were affected
by the movement. One servant girl
is known to have bought 1000 francs
worth of lingerie, the money repre-
senting the savings Of three years.
The spectacle of whole families pro
viding themselves with shoes for the
next year was not uncommon, and
Americans who were travelling light,
counting on being able to pick up
what they needed chiefly in Paris,
often had to stand in line for hours
at the big stores, only to be told that
the articles they wanted all were sold
Some complaint is voiced in the
newspapers that American customers
were given the preference by a. mum
Der of shopkeepers, who showed then,
undue obsequiousness.
This, however, seems to be part OF
the general anti-American and anti
foreign feeling which eliminated In
scenes before the Chamber Of Deputies
while the Herriot ministry was in its
death throes last night, when torrents
of insults and epithets were hurled al
tourists in the sightseeing buses.

Movie Operators.

Members OF the Theater Managers
Association are preparing to act In
the event the union motion picture
machine operators can carry their
threat to strike for higher wages ON
September /, 1t was admitted today
by A. Julian Brylawski, chairman or
the wage scale committee OF the as
Sociation.
The operators gave notice they
want new contracts giving them $f5,
and a 40-hour week instead OF their
present wages of $50, and Amour
week. The thaater managers AFTER
a special session unanimously re-
jected the higher wage scale.
The outstanding step taken to conn
bat the threatened strike has been
the opening of a school where man
ayers and assistant managers are
training themselves to be operatorss
The school is taught by Sergt. ii!

The managers admit that even II
they fill the places of the operators,
they will likely be faced with walk

Mr.. Brylawski, Thomas A. Reed,
head of the operators union, denied
that granting increases to the operat-
ors would necessitate raise In the

for the defendant, in asking for the
Vacating Of the Judgment, informed

plaintiff contended that the judgment
by default settled the question of liza
bility of the defendant and that the
mere fixing Of the money amount of
the Judgment did not effect the final
ity of the default finding. The court
had lost jurisdiction of that judg-
ment, he claimed, and could not va
cate it merely because the money
judgment had not been rendered until
June %.
Under the circumstance Judge
Hoehhng said 1t would be uncon-
scfonabie to hold the judgment for
$4,000 against Lerch and so set it
aside and also the default finding and
permitted counsel for the defendant
to file a plea and have the case tried
on it's merits. The court required
the defendant to reimburse McCrum
for the expense of his trip from Chi
