Bank Of France Raises Discount
 On French Franc
(By The Associated Press)

Paris, March 28th-The Bank of France is alarmed today over the continued weakness of the French franc, said to have resulted from international and in- ternal uneaSiness.
 The Bank of France, look ing the situation over, rais- ed the discount rate from three and a half to five per cent.
 As this decision was pub lished, financial quarters predicted huge withdrawals of gold from central banks, as the franc weakened on the active foreign exchange market.
 The Banks gold deposits total four thousand tons, sufficient for an eighty per cent coVerage of every Ere nch banknote. Theoretical ly the gold is the property of those holding paper

Movie Contracts Being Discussed;
 Short, Long Ones
ublic Appearance May, However, Get Studio
 Officials Thinking
By RoBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 2l. = When a new actors mere appear ance in public sets fans gaping, or tearing to get a look, the inevitable sequel is contract conference at the actors studio.
 That is, it's the squel if the stu dio is hig- -hearted or wants to avoid trouble, and at Metro Robert Tay- Tor already has come up for discus sion.
 Unknown when signed two years ago to one of those seven-year "op-, tional contracts, Taylor is this years screen meteor. According to report he draws S750 weekly, a mere pittance by Hollywood standards for a player of his growing box-office importance.
 Contract adjustments in such cas- es are by no means rare. Clark Gable had one when. like Taylor, he became a publicly acclaimed star Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple among others have won concessions for box office pro- gress. Sometimes old contracts are torn up and new tickets written for a player before contract time al rives-occasionally even without a struggle.
 Option" Called Unfair
 Still, most actors will tell you they consider the optional con- tract unfair-especially the seven- year deals under which, at any stated interval, the studio may drop a played who is not accorded the reciprocal privilege.
 Bette Davis, for instance, would likely very much to drop" Warner Bros. now, but she is still bound by an old agreement with them un- der which she receives, she has said less than S1 900 a week
 It is screen newcomers who are little known who sign the seven year contract, which may begin a salary of $50 or SIS and increase gradually to a top, in the seventh year, of around $500 week
 In the majority of cases. th' contractess are dropped long before they get close to the promised high but if they are successful, the stu. dio has them legally, for the salar. ies stipulated.

PORTLAND OVER LIMIT
 ON VETERANS ALL YEAR SAYS STORY ON COAST
(The Sporting NeWs)

There's a story going the rounds in the Pacific Coast League that may prove embarrassing to the pennant winning Portland Beav- CTS. although none of the mag mates will make an official protest. Technically, the Beaver could be made to forfeit every game they won this season, some observers contend. The league rule limits the number of veterans on each club to IS, allowing seven additional rockies. So far as the other mem bers of the league can find out, Pete Coscarart, the second base man, is the only man on the squad who can qualify as rookie and there seems to be some doubt about him.
 The Beaver roster included the following veterans: Brucker, Cron- in, Sweeney, Lee, Bedore, Taylor, Holt, Clabaugh, Bongiovanni, Steve Coscarat, Frederick, Liska, Caster, Posedel McDougall, French, Flynn, Radonits, Carson and Larkin-20 in all.
 Bill Sweeney, Portland's genial playing manager, disagree of course. He rates Catcher Earle Brucker, a rookie, although he played his first ball in 1924 and came to Portland after five years in the Western League. He was drafted by the Athletics last week
 Pitcher French might rate as a rookie, although this was his third year in organized ball.

Metals Utilization in

s'With more than two-thirds OF all
American homes electrified. the fam
lies Of even modest income have
con,forts-in fact Mxuries-that are
enjoyed only by the wealthy in the
countries of Continental Europe" Ber-
tram B. Caddle, secretary Of the Cop
per and Brass Research Association of
New York, announced today. Since
July Of this year" he said, "the electric
power consumed has exceeded 2.000,-
600 900 kilowatt hours per week, which
ests blishes a new record. That vividly
portrays the enormous use Of electric
ity of our country.
There are about 2l,000.O00 electri-
fed homes throughout the United
States. OF that number. more than
o. per cent have electric irons. While
the housewives in a majority Of homes
in Europe still use the old-fashioned
iron which must be heated on stove,
our housewives enjoy this labor-saving
device. Over 70 per cent have cleo
trically operated radios.
Have Labor Saving Devices.
More than half of all electrified
homes have vacuum cleaners, another
useful labor-saving device. The same
number, approximately. have electric
clocks: also electrically operated wash
ing machines and toasterS. About
$500. 900 have electric percolators.
Four million have electric waffle irons.
Mechanical refrigerators are no
longer a costly luxury. The price
range is within the income OF most
families: then, too. they can be pur-
chased on payment plans. There are
perhaps 100000 homes that have
either electrically or gas operated re-
frirerators in service today, while there
are several thousand farm houses that
have kerosene-operated refrigerators
in sections where neither electricity or
gas 1. yet available. Refrigerators OF
this kind are also popular in hunting
and fishing lodges and camps.
Copper Is Utilized.
The use of all these comforts OF the
home are made possible through the
utilization of copper, first metal OF
commerce. and its alloys, brass ano
bronze. Without these most useful OF
all metals it would not have been pos
sible to have these many conveniences
Neither could you pick up your tele-
phone and call your grocer or one OF

New York to Los Angeles they are
utilizing in their conversation 3,OOo'ooo
pounds of copper. Millions OF mes

RELATIVE HUMIDITY
IN AIR EXPLAINED
Quantity Of Moisture De.
termined in Air. Condition
ing Process.
BY ROGER h. WHITMAN.

With the coming in of air-condi-
tioning, and the use of humidifiers.
the term relative humidity" is used
to indicate the percentage moisture
in the air. This term Is explained as
showing the quantity of moisture in
the air, compared to the limit that
the air can hold. For comparison. q
sponge picks up moisture and con-
tinues to pick it up until 1t Is satu-
rated beyond that, any more water
causes drip.
A sponge holds water in liquid
form, whereas air holds 1t in the form
of an invisible vapor. Air absorbs
this vapor, and can continue to absorb
it until it can take up no more. Out
doors. excess water vapor becomes
visible as a mist or fog. both of
which are no more than very minute
drops Of water.
The amount of water vapor that
air can take up depends on tempera-
ture. The warmer the air. the more
vapor 1t can hold. the greater will be
the quantity of water vapor needed
to saturate it.
Relative humidity Is the amount of
water vapor actually in the air, COM
pared to the amount Of water vapor
that would be needed for saturation.
Air that is fully saturated, and that
can take up no more vapor without
forming a drip or a mist, is said to
be 100 per cent humidified Air that
contains one-half as much vapor
as would saturate it is so per cent
humidihed. or in other words, has
a relative humidity of so per cent.

of air depends on the temperature Of
