FRANCE MAY EXCHANGE
RUBBER FOR U. S. COTTON
Proposal Under Consideration in
Paris-Fruit I: -ustry Also
,, to Be Doomed

, TO be Doomed.
PARIS Op).--An exchange of Ameri-
can cotton for French rubber 'nder a
special tariff agreement is being con-
sidered by the French department of
foreign commerce.
The production of French rubber Is
growing yearly. but the business OF
raising rubber trees to maturity Is ex-
pensive and leaves no funds for the
encouragement of cotton planting.
France now buys her cotton chiefly
from England, the United States and
Egypt. Government experts estimate
that within two years the French col
onies will be producing more rubber
than France requires. Ar outlet on the
American market. with cotton as
possible interchange. appears to many
as profitable venture
The idea forms part of the French
program for general revision of COM
mercial relations. Another detail OF
this is the granting of subsidy for the
building of new fruit ships to bring
bananas from the French possessions
instead of buying them from British
and Spanish growers.

The House of Shame
 At the Palace Theater

The Palace theater offers to it's patronage on Sunday and Monday a photoplay of unusual interest in the latest Chesterfield production en- titled "The House of Shame"
 Hero Is screen drama that frankly deals with certain problems of domestic infelicity that are usual ly left severely alone but despite the delicacy of the subject the produce CTS have fearlessly gone to the heart of 1t. It shows the far-reaching re- suits of minor indiscretions which, like a snowfall playfully rolling down hill. gathers force as it pro- gresses and eliminates in a devas- tating avalanche spreading havoc and ruin. The love of luxury, ex- travagance and the necessity of keeping up with the Jones'" some- times leads to more serious things and in 'The House. of Shame" is de- picted the tragic incident which ts most typical of the world we live in.
 An unusually capable acting cast has been assembled with such we'll known film favorites as Virginia Brown Faire, Creighton Hale, Lloyd Whitlock and Florence Dudley in the leading roles. The picture has been personally supervised by Lon Young with Burton King handling the directorial megaphone.
 Sophisticated film fans will find in this screen play story which defies them to guess the results. Arthur Hoerl. the we'll known scenarist, has given some of the most unusual twists and plot developments to the story.
