MY Neighbor SAYS:

Be sure that the ground is well
saturated with water when set
ting out plants in June and July.
If the plants are being taken
from the seed bed in your own
garden wet them thoroughly so
that a considerable amount of
earth will adhere to the roots.
Shade them after they have been
set out and they will not wilt
badly. If the plants have large
leaves remove some Of them or
cut them in the middle, removing
the end.
If the neck Of q bottle Is bro
ken when opening, tie . pad Of
absorbent cotton over the top
of another bottle and pour con-
tents of the broken bottle
through it. Cotton will catch
pieces of glass as liquid is poured
through.
Marks on painted walls which
have been caused by carelessly
striking matches on them will
disappear if rubbed first with the
cut surface of a lemon, then with
a clean cloth dipped in whiting.
Afterward wash the surface with
warm water and soap, and then
quickly wipe with a clean cloth
wrung out of clear water.

French MOves
On Franc End
Long Struggle
Refused to Yield to
DeraIuatiOn
Pleas.
81 the Associated Press.


Frances move to devalue the franc
marks the end of one Of the most
remarkable "last ditch" stands in
modern economic history.
For several years she suffered the
severest kind of defiation- falling
prices, wages, etc.-accompanied by
mounting political unrest.
But while other countries, includ-
ing the United States, yielded and
revalued their currency In an effort
to halt deflation and give q fill-up to
their internal economy and their
international trade, France. which
had had bitter experiences in the
past with money which decreased in
value, doggedly refused.
Now, under the stress and strain,
France at last has yielded. Her gov
eminent leaders tacitly have acknowl-
edged that under present conditions
the franc is worth more than 1t
should be.
Francs at present are dear" In
terms Of other currencies. Here's
why:
When an American sends his dol
lars to France to buy its products
they are, In effect, converted into
francs.
At present he can get about 15.2
francs for one dollar. In some other
countries dollar will buy the equiv
alent Of more than 1872 francs.
Other factors-such as tariffs and
quota Misunderstanding equal, the
purchaser will send his dollar to the
country where it will have the greatest
purchasing power.
Thus, the international bargain
hunter might find that by sending his
dollar to France he could buy 3 yards
Of ribbon, but that in another country
he could get yards.
When France devalues it means she
Is reducing the amount Of gold which
each franc represents. This makes
one unit Of gold worth more francs,
and, II the relationship of the dollar
to gold remains unchanged one dollar
also Is worth more francs.
The American, then, finds that his
dollar may buy more French products
than before-that he may get yards
of ribbon for . dollar instead Of the
former 3.
This tends to put France in q posi-
ton to compete for American pur-
chases.
Conversely, however, devaluation
French more because more francs are
required to purchase one American
dollar.
The trade situation created by de-
valuation might be only temporary.

II not, he declared, 1t would mark
"the beginning Of our downfall"
''This Is our last chance" he said.
I'VE cannot afford to bungle 1t"
He termed the new policy delicate
because it Is tardy." adding that
France had lost 0.000, ,000. 900 francs
in gold since he urged devaluation
two and half years ago.
The Bourse-stock market-was
closed "for several days" as details of
the suggested monetary revision were
worked out. Informed quarters ex-
pected the gold embargo, which must
bear approval Of the governor Of the
Bank OF France, would be proclaimed
