Goes Bankrupt Trying
to Make French Battle

Paris.-The scarcity Of bathtubs in
most of France is often the subject OF
Jokes, but sarcastic critics have a
new fact to give substance to their
humor.
In the town of RedarieuX, near the
southern coast, there are 1000 people
with very few bathtubs. A forward
looking gentleman transformed villa
into public bathhouse, in spirit of
civic pride, relying upon promises OF
good subscription list. He set out
to get the wealthy to buy season tick,
cts, good for bath week. He final
ly got 30 to agree to take bath a
month for year. After the first few
weeks, according to reports OF the en-
terprise, the subscribers reverted to
primitive ideas of hygiene and de-
manded part Of their tickets to be
taken up.
"a bath month Is too often; once
every three months is enough" they
are quoted as saying.
The bathhouse finally closed it's
doors, unable to make go OF the
bathing business, although there was
no competition.

going to rain. Still Mr.. Coolidge was
silent.
Then came the distant roar of thun-

HOME OF ADAMS TO
BE MADE SHRINE
Historic Structure Is to Be
Opened to Public.

Quincy, Mass.-America Is soon to
have another national shrine, the his
toric old Adams home with its wide
grounds, old trees and old fashioned
garden, beloved Of two Presidents of
the United States and their distin-
guished descendants.
Although the old home Is to remain
in the ownership of the Adams fami-
ly, as it has since the very early
days of the republic. the grandchil-
dren of Charles Francis Adams have
decided to give up the house to the
public and it will be opened soon as
a national shrine.
Tradition has it that Abigail Adams
sat down on the horse block before
the house and cried when she saw
that the house was not large enough
for the new furniture she had bought
in France. That was why John
Adams, the second President of the
United States, added some rooms to
the original structure, built in 1892
by Leonard Vassall,. San Domingo
planter.
Vassall was a Loyalist and he fled
the country at the time of the Revo-
luton. The new American govern
ment bought the house and John
Adams in turn bought it from the
government.
Five generations of the Adams
family were rocked in the cradle that
is still in the house. In the wing
chair that stands in the study up
stairs the President died year after
his son, John Quincy Adams, had been
inaugurated President.
In the stone library which Charles
Francis Adams built in the garden
in 1872, Is the desk at which John
Quincy Adams died in the house of
representatives in Washington.
In addition to the furniture brought
from France by Abigail Adams, are
two chairs of Dolly Madison's that
came from the White House. There
is the old sofa on which President
John Adams sat at 80 to be painted
by Stuart.
There is bed that was obtained
from Daniel Webster for bad debt.
This is in the middle room in which
Lafayette once slept.
The house always has been lived
in and the passing years have seen
each generation of the noted Amerl
can family add to its heritage.

French Politeness

pend on an officials kindness" for n
hunting license, comment some crit
