POLITICS IN PARIS
CAUSE FRANC DROP
Cabinets Power Doubted.
Budget May Not Be
Passed by Easter.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
PARIS. March 20.-The prospect
that Parliament will adjourn for the
Easter vacation without having solved
the nations financial problem caused
such uneasinesS in business circles
today that the franc declined to a new
low record for the Paris exchange
market. 1t was quoted at 28.33 to
the dollar and 1875 to the pound
sterling, as importers rushed to buy
American apd British exchange to
cover payments coming due in the
next few weeks.
The effect of an announcement bv
Finance Minister Peret that he would
ask the Chamber of Deputies to begin
discussion of measures to balance the
budget on Monday was offset by the
fact that the chambers discussion Of
the ministerial declaration presented
Thursday left great doubt as to
whether the cabinet has a safe ma
jority back of it.
The result of Thursdays sensational
incidents. climaXed by the collapse Of
Louis Malvy, minister of the interior,
is expected to be an intensificati ton of
the opposition of the moderates and
conservatives to the government,
while on financial questions the
Socialists will either abstain from
voting or vote against the govern
ment. Consequently it remains to be
seen when the chamber is called on
to vote on NJ. Peret's measure
whether the government has ma.

Hearings Are Started Today--Morc Than a Dozen Measures Up For Consideration.

Washington, March 30 dP-Hear- ings were opened today by the house commerce committee on the general subject of coal legislation.
 Representative Trcadway, repuh- lican. Massachusetts. and author ot
 one Of the three dozen or so bills before the committee, made the opening statement in which he said the present time. with no emergency existing, was opportune for consid- Icration of legislation that would give the president authority 10 deal with another anthracite gus pension If + should develop.
 He contended the president had no power to settle the recent sus- pension and that this inability to act was a weak Ink in executive authority.
 Mir. Treadway said 1t would be difficult to make New England coal users believe they were not being made to pay prices which would re- imburse operators for losses sus- tained during the suspension.

DRIVE ENDS THIS WEEK
Efen's Lyoeum Has Enjoyable Mcet- ing-Boys and Girls Club VIII Give Gymnastic Exhibition--Resi- dents Return From Florida.

Bolton -Kaslca Post. American Le- klon. has something to be proud of. This organization, which 8 few years ago, was reported to be dying Pn its feet. is now leading all posts n the state in regard to membership increases. During the past year an
 n membership of about 200 per cent las been reported and new members ire coming in almost every day.
 The local organization has worked 1ard and has taken new lease of fife. The members are entering nto the activities with zest and Fvery meeting sees large attend ince, a marked contrast to the two br three faithful ones who used to gather to discuss plans for the con-
 inuance of the waning organization bot so long ago.
 A membership drive is being car lied on at the present time and the
 oster has been swelIed considerably,
 his step also being in contrast to
 onditions not so long ago, when q membership drive meant nothing |nore than fruitless eXertion on tho bart of those few members who worked day and night to keep the post going. The drive will end this yeek, after a successful month and is expected that the Legion will fontinuo to keep its place at the top bf the list.
 Bcrlinites can point with pride 10 heir Legion post, because it is no bmall accomplishment to overton posts in large cities, where the per tentage of eligible war veterans is SO much greater. The officials of the ocal organization have requested all
 hose veterans not yet signed up, to 10 so before the end of the week, if possible. The next year promises to be banner one and the orSGniza- ion, with its greatly increased roll, Eill be able to carry out many of he plans talked of in the dark days.

ease-carrying mosquitoes. It was cleaned during
the construction period and is now place of won
derful beauty, practically free of flies and mos
quitoes.
Coming right to home the proposition, it was
Thoroughly demonstrated during the World War
period that mosquitoes can be successfully and
completely banished from Key West, and that
too by employing method that is simple and
not expensive. But it is easier of accomplishment
in Key West than at any other point in America,
perhaps, because there is no fresh water this
city, and it is well known that the mosquito cannot
terminate in salt water. Key West mosquitoes
could only come from csterns not properly screen
ed, old cans, empty bottles and other receptacles
that catch and retain rain water until mosquitoes
produce. To utterly rid Key West of mosquitoes
would be an easy and economical proposition in
comparison with the same task in inland towns
thanked by miles and miles of fresh water swamp
and numerous pools of stagnant water.
The Key West Realty Board and other local
organizations are actively interested in the anti
mosquito movement; so are people throughout the
city; and it is expected that Key West will be as
largely and enthusiastically represented at the ST.
Augustine meeting any other city in Florida.
