 Washington.--The French debt default seems to be culmination in the unrclenting mutual grouch which has characterized relations between this country and France since the war.
 The incident has caused consid- erable soreness in Congress and in the country and may cause Fran co- American relations to become much more strained than before. On the other hand, there Is at least a chance that 1t will repre- sent turning point toward q bet ter understanding.
 Few Americans have been able to become enthusiastic over the general post-war attitude of the French. But some of the points in mitigation have begun to be appar- ent and our state department, after failing to understand the French viewpoint for about 10 years, lately has begun to take 1t into consid- cration. If there is any official at- tempt at reprisal or even at being hardboiled with France to the ex- tent of leaving her out of future debt negotiations, that will be tho work of Congress and not of the Hoover or the Roosevelt adminis- traitor. :.
 It seems there Is a Chamber of Deputies as well as q Congress and that, regardless of whose ac- tons are the more easily dcfensi- ble, they are equally stiff-nccked. The deputies have constituents as do our congressman, and their con- stituents are no more anxious to pay up than the congressmen's constituents are anxious to forgive the debt.
 So, in what is interpreted here as a surge of natlonaIistic feeling, they begin to bring to realization the I0ngstanding contention of nearly all weIl-informed persons that America would never collect the war debts.
 The customary feeling of irrita- ton toward America, the old French feeling that we ought to forgive the debts as our contribu- ton to the war. resentment be- cause Congress so emphatically re- fused to extend tIee Hoover mora torium and because France was not originally consulted about It are counted here aH among the fac- tors influencing the chamber to override Herriot.
 But most important of all was the assurance that Germany isn't S.f.V. Ia. l to the allies and that the Lausanne agreement was really q recognition of that fact. France would lose heavily by that agreement If she kept paying us.
 The State Department in its re- cent notes resurrectcd its old wheeze that there's no connection between debts and separations, but the French leaders shouted as one man that this quaint notion had been officially killed by the Hoover moratorium and the Hoover-Layal conference!
 Defaults by Belgium. Poland and Hungary arc regarded here as largely resultant from the willing nesk of the small nations of France's continetai hegemoy to fall line with the French polit- teal policy.
 France still hasn't got over her soreness over the fact that we con- suited England in advance of the Hoover moratorium announcement and didn't consult her. She held the moratorium up for many days. The omission appeared to be a se-

 Merry:go-round, Mounted on horses up and down we ride. Round and round
 circular path, Each day, each year
 we whir we pass. Some ride high
 and others low. Some with cheers
 and gayety flow. Others sad

 the path leads on. Some speed on

 we all drop off. Others quickly take our place.

The RisdOn StOker

THE RISDON SrOKER changes your furnace into an automatic thermostatically controlled heat ing plant It scientifically and efficiently burns the cheapest coal and saves the unavoidable losses of hand firing.
 The Risdon Stoker, the only stOker to be success fully manufactured in Washington, is the result of 16 years of study and experience. The fact that many of the stokers have IA years of service and are still operating satisfactorily proof of their worth.
 ECONOMICAL! The cheapest grades of local coal burn perfectly in the Risdon Stoker It has saved as high 65%6, and less than 25qo of the fuel bill The Stoker has replaced oil burn CTS with saving of 5O% and more in the about 5Oe6 of the Diesel Oil Burners. CONVENIENT! Just few minutes once day and your house is automatically heated for the en- fire day. The thermostat holds the house at just the temperature you desire.
 SAFE! There is danger of explosion leaking fuel or over-heated furnaces. Coal is fed only as needed. Gases and all combustibles are completely consumed by the heated forced draft It the safest method of house heating.
 CLEAN Due to the scientific way in which the coal Is burned smoke dirt Is formed The ashes in clinker form are dropped into elim- inatng the shoveling of ashes There are no oily fumes or disagreeable odors so common in other types of heating plants a74..,.s
