VICHY GREAT PLACE
FOR FRENCH CURE

(COntlnued frOm rage OneJ
More thousands of refugees came
from regions in northern France
occupied by the German Army.
Nearly all the springs are
owned by the state. Drinks are
free. The springs have women at
tendants who rapidly fill glasses
with the warmish water and pass
them up to the railings.
It's the custom to exclaim
''Merci, Madam" when you get
your glass and then drop a five
centime piece or a franc (2.2
cents) in a container prominently
placed for your convenience.
The favorite sources are so
crowded just before lunch and
Just before dinner that you have
sn idea you're back in the United
States again trying to get a coke
at a drugstore during the rush
hour.
Vichy baths are an integral part
of the cure" and the luxurious
state-owned- -and-operated bath
ing establishments (first, second
and third class do rushing
business.
Hardly any of the small and
second-class hotels have bath
rooms, let alone rooms-with- bath,
and their clients accordingly uti-
lize the bathing establishments.
You Had To Swim
The bathing establishments
were closed during the war. re-
opening only six weeks ago, and
when the Petain Government first
moved to Vichy most of the pop
ulation (and refugees) had to
swim in the river, take sponge
baths, or go without.
In the bathing establishments
YOU can get practically any kind
of bath ever invented, from a
shower to a fancy, medicated
massage under water.
The fancy massage under wa
ter" is we'll worth the price-79
cents.
You are stretched out on a
white operating table with a
windshield contrivance in front
of your face. Over the table
warm water suddenly spurts from
an intricate arrangement of
pipes, providing a needle shower
effect at all points of the COM
pass.
Two rnasseurs go to work.
AS thev finish one of the mas
seurs haulS you to the end of the
now steamy cubicle, and stands
YOU against the wall, while the
other points a fire-hose arrange
ment in your direction from a
distance of 10 or IL feet and turns
on the water He sweeps the
stream of water up and down,
while you fight for breath.
Then they get gentle, wrapping
you in a bathrobe made of tow
cling, and half carry you to a pri-
vate cubicle where a couch with
fresh white sheets awaits. They
wrap another towel around your
neck, still another around your
feet, and leave you to relax.

Today's Horoscope

Today'S nature is self-confi-
dent, but too proud and naughty.
The result may be that when an
opportunity for success is at
hand, there will be no friends to
help, but on the contrary secret
enemies who will gladly help to
pull down. To guard against
this, cultivate friendly relations.

A SENDS N

RALEIGH, Oct. 4.-OR-The State
Board of Health today sent nine port
able ch%lorinating tanks to Whining
ton, where dry weather and higl
tides have resulted in a shortage OF
drinking water.
The tanks will be used to purify
we'll water, which will be used if the
city's regular supply of water be-
comes too salty to drink.
The high tides, coupled with lack
of rain in the Cape Fear river water
shed, caused the ocean to back into
TONERS creek, the city's usual
source of supply.
r. Frank Hill, sanitary engineer
for the state board, went to Whining
ton to supervise the publication

Mayor Thomas E. Cooper of Will

ashes and camp fires burning.
THE woods are extremely dry at
this time of the year and with the
water levels being lower than usual,
any fires getting under way low
would result in considerable damages
in loss of timber lands and game
cover as well. The situation regard
ing the possible spread of woodland
blazes is extremely dangerous"
Jones said.
During September, h driest
month in nine years, only four fires
were reported in Brunswick county
and these blazes destroyed 81 and 1-2
aefeas of woodland sections, he said.
So far this month there have been no
reports of fires in the county.
Jones said the North Carolina for.
estry service had been making con-
siderable progress in the curbing of
forest fire damage in Brunswick
county in recent years. Acreage now
under protection in the county totals
46O,956 in timberlands, representing
about IS per cent of the total land in
the county.
From July /, 1897, to June 80, 1888.
214 fires burned over 45,329 acres, or
an average of 211.82 acres per blaze.
From July 1, 1889, to June 30, 1910,
