Mayors Under Age in
France Give
Trouble

PARIS. June 81 Q.N.S).-The
Jimmy walkers of France must
show their birth certificates. This
is because several minors have
been elected to the office Of
mayor recently.
France demands that the mayors
Of her cities be at least Is years
old. But the youths of France
want to be mayors, and when
they run, they are elected.
A political enemy of NJ. Leblanc,
the newly elected mayor Of
Levens, in southern France, just
discovered that the towns presid-
ing officer was too young to
hold the job.
The electors elected him right
over again, after his enemy de-

age-attained his ''rnayority,"
one might say.

Adopted Rabbit Stolen
From Cat By Two
Va. Bows

STAUNTON. Va, June 21. -
Tragedy has lain in wait for the
family of Tabby. a mother cat
owned by Mrs. Cora Rhodes, of
Waynesboro. Va.
Tabby was the proud mother Of
three kittens. One of the three
died, and Tabby refused to be
consoled with the two remaining.
So the cat disappeared into the
woods near her home. A few
hours later she returned with a
baby rabbit about the same age
az her kittens.
For two days the happiness OF
the family was restored. The
rabbit lived with his adopted
brothers. apparently in perfect
content. He was fed and cared
for by the mother Just as were
the kittens.
Then two small boys Of the
neighborhood came to play at
the Rhodes home. Seeing the
rabbit, they took a fancy to it,
and when they went home they
carried the bunny along. unknown
to Mrs. Rhodes. The rabbit died
Of starvation.

DECLINE
IN PRICES IS
REPORTED
By B. G. FORBES

What Is the outlook for prices
in the second half OF the year? My
prediction II that we will see a
modest decline in the average
cost OF manufactured goods. some
recovery in farm products and
irregularity. in stock quotations,
with rails and oils probably gain
ing ground and doomed indus
trials and utilities falling back.
The cost of living in this couH.
try has remained extraordinarily
steady in recent years. The trend
this year has been slightly down
ward. 1t still is just as 1t was
in 1928. There have been violent
fluctuations in individual connmodi-
ties. For example, wheat mas fluctu.
ated more than 40 per cent and
copper still more. But drastic
changes. have not all been in the
same direction at the same time.
One month agricultural products
would be advancing. while manu-
features would, on the whole, be
declining. Next month the pro-
cess would be reversed.
The following table, compiled
by Bradstreet's, gives the total
price per pound OF g6 articles of
common consumption, fractions Of
cents being omitted:
