PARIS, Dec. 81. U.P)-France is
planning an import restriction drive
early in 1884 that will strike al
1many American products.
Import quotas were expected to
be established on such American
products as motor cars, tractors and
machines with electric motors

balance which is expected to reach
10000, 100000 francs ($609, 600, ,0OO)
by December 81.
The government already has de-
clined to reconsider its plan to
place import license taxes on Am
erican fruits, and it is understood
to plan simultaneously to establish
Asuch taxes on most agricultural
products.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. U.P)-
Faced with the prospect OF an alb
solute embargo against the import
alton of French wines and liquors
into this country, French diploma
tic representatives here made futile
efforts today to break the deadlock
in the negotiations for renewal OF
the French quota.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. U.P)--
The Federal Alcohol Control Ad-
ministration reported today that
import quotas allocated to France
and Portugal have been exhausted.
The French quota aggregated
784.OOO gallons and covered all al
, ccholic products. Portugal's quota
was 10000 gallons.

Camille Chautemps seemed to have
survived the long political crisis to-
day. The budget which cost the
lives of two governments was passed

votes to 81. The vote constituted
in fact a vote of confidence.

No Tariff on Music

The National Federation of Music
Clubs did the gracious as we'll as the
sensible thing at its Minneapolis con-
vention last Saturday by definitely
rejecting q resolution urging an en-
barge on foreign musicians. Certain
ly this country has reaped enough
antagonism and Ill will by prohibitive
tariffs In the field of trade without
extending so devastating policy to
music, even though some composers
and musicians do feel that they need
protection from Europeans.
The United States has many fine
singers and players who are admitted
to be the artistic equals of some for
eign performers who reap rich re-
wards over here, but it is hardly wise
to try to force the American public
to show them the appreciation they
deserve by excluding outsiders. Not
only would it be resented but it is in
consistent with the spirit of so uni
versal an art. Americans must prove
their superiority as many have al
ready done. Lawrence Tibet has
nothing to fear from foreign singers,

Power in the Air

" - 80 VANV AL
A current subject for discussion in
many circles is the comparative un-
readiness Of the United States for
war as compared with some other
nations. notably Japan and France.
Critics point to a navy far below
the strength permitted by present
treaties and to an army which, at
best, could serve only as a skeleton
f:r the force needed to defend this
nation against major invader.
These views, as far as they 70, un.

Mary Lou lifted her eager, book
loving eyes from the rows upon
rows of volumes and looked
straight into equally eager, laugh
ing eyes which looked down on her
from q photograph framed in
heavy, dull silver which stood
where two bookcases meeting
made an angle. It was the only
photograph in the room.
For a moment Mary Lou stared,
conscious Of a slight shock. She
knew the eyes, she thought, and
the face :. lean, laughing face
under the jaunty cap of the Royal
Flying Corps. She knew, too, she
thought, the tall. broad-shouldered
uniformed figure, sitting very
negligently on some excellent pho
tographer's bench. Knew and yet
did not know. And it was a full
minute before it dawned on her
that here was Travers Lorrimer,

Of which she was trying hard not

Bad in ANY Case

If, as sponsors of the sales tax re-
ierendum contend, national guards
men were placed at the offices of the
secretary of state Thursday to prevent
filing of the referendum petitions, the
act was one contrary to the law and
the popular will which cannot be
censured too severely.
II, on the other hand, the "im-
pounding" of the secretary of state In
his office was the result OF an over
enthusiastic effort to protect him
from possible harm, it might be we'll
to recall the old adage about looking
before leaping.
Whatever the purpose, the petitions
will be filed just as though they were
delivered in person and the people
will have an opportunity to vote on
the sales-tax issue.
Whether the tax should be ap-
proved or rejected may be a matter
for sharp divergence OF opinion but
there can be little argument on the
action of the military In holding the
secretary Of state and the state trea-
surer prisoners for q matter Of three
hours.
That was wrong in principle. At
worst 1t was a deliberate effort to
thwart the law and interfere with the
desires of those people who signed the
referendum petitions.
At its best it was demonstration
of official exuberance which will hold
the entire state up to ridicule and
leave a bad taste in the mouths of
many.

But in the past we have always
been fortunate and we may be 50
again If trouble comes by reason OF
our superiority in the air.
No other nation could bring so
many airplanes and so many skilled
pilots into action on short notice as
the United States. France and Eng
land have larger numbers of war
planes and more military aviators,
but neither has the great reservoir
of civilian pilots and planes which
the United States boasts.
Every commercial pilot, every
pleasure filler, is potential military
pilot or instructor. Every airplane
factory is possible source OF war
material.
This fact is called to mind by the
award to Glenn Martin of the Col
lier trophy in aviation for his work
as the worlds most important man.

The achievement which won this
distinction for one OF Americas vet
Grams of the air is the design and
construction of new bombing ship
which has lifted this country from
somewhere near the bottom to the
top in aviation material. Details of
the plane are a military secret but
the new ship is said to fly as fast
and to be as manoeuverable as a
light attack plane.
If, as some claim, the next war
will be fought in the air, America
may yet be safe from any possible
attack.

A Real Home.

Mary Lou reached up mechan-
ically to take off her hat. Her
head ached. But, then, she re-
membered that the hat lay on the
floor where Lorrimer had cast it.
She remembered that her coat and
her pockstbook were downstairs.
There was nothing to do but wait.
Peter went out and closed the
door softly behind him. Mary Lou
stared around her, unseeingly at

Circus Stuff

j. P. Morgan, long an aloof and
mysterious figure, Is coming much
nearer to the public as result of the
senate investigation. If he didn't
know it before, the money master is
learning that there are many diff
ferent kinds Of people in the world
and that some of them have no par
ticular respect for money.
Take circus publicity agents for
example.
Morgan may be "hot stuff" to many
but to the man who dropped dwarf
in his lap while the photographers
took pictures he merely spelled op-
portunity.
TO the rest Of us the incident comes
as welcome relief from the mono
tony of millions. The senate investi-
gators have been talking in such big
figures that most Of us were getting
dizzy, but the incident of Morgan and
the dwarfed lady Is easy for anyone
to understand. It gives the entire
nation what theater folk call "belly
laugh" and lightens somewhat the
grim seriousness of the investigation.
It injects a bit of humor into a
situation where some was sorely
needed.

MENTAL POWER AND NERVE
ENERGY

A nervous correspondent proteStS
the teaching that nervous energy,
nerve or mental power, nerve force
isn't, and that consequently there
can be no strain of mind or nerves,
no mental or nerve exhaustion, or
nervous breakdown. The correspond
ent says I contradict myself when
assert that Ito the best Of our knowl-
edge the functioning of the brain,
mind or nerves involves so little ex-
penditure of energy, SO little metabol-
ism, as to be practically negligible IN
that respect" That, says the nerv-
GUS one, is tantamount to admitting
that there is a little nervous energy.

This is not a question Of authority,
that is, opinion. It is q question OF
fact. Any textbook Of physiology Will
enable you to speak with as mucn au-
thority as any other human being
has.
There is no contradiction in the
facts have given, as the correspond
emit quotes them. Where there Is lie,
some energy is being expended, some
combustion is going on. NO 1unctlon

energy. Not nerve energy" or brain
power" just energy-identical with
the energy you expend in lifting
finger or swinging a leg or eating
your dinner or running a race or
yelling at the umpire or playing the
tuba or writing home for money.
Every beat of the heart, every breath
you draw, is at the expense OF
energy. The digestion of soft boiled
egg is effected by the expenditure OF
some energy. The working out OF
problem or the connecting of plot
or the addition Of column of fig
ures involves the expenditure Of the
| same energy, and numerous scien-
tific measurements have shown that
so-called brain work. prolonged con-
centration on study, uses up so little
energy that it Is scarcely appreciate.
The energy the body gains from the
assimilation Of the food In half a
peanut will run the brain for hours
at high tension.
So it is plumb silly to imagine that
anbody can really suffer from nerve
or mental exhaustion or breakdown
from "overWork" or "overstudy" OF
business responsibilities" or "domes-
tic cares" or worry or anything like
that. Not as long as there is enough
energy left to lift finger or put one
foot before the other.
There are just two classes of peo'

It Is much better to have a mod

stairs.

gallery. The room into which Peter
showed her, silently, was evidently

place, done beautifully in soft
grays and clear greens with odd
little touches of mauve and rose.
Mary Lou stood hesitant. She
had never been so bewildered in
all her 20 years. She said aloud,
"Oh. what on earth shall do?"
She was talking, perhaps, to her
self. But Peter answered, defer
entail but briskly:

and-rest. You've had a shock"
said the elderly man, quietly.

said no more, realizing that it was
not part of his duty to discuss
family matters with an outsider.

comfortable, deep chair, the many
books, scattered on small tables
and housed in built-in bookcases,
the silver and enamel boxes of
cigarettes. eff you'd take chair,
