REFUGEES RETURN
TO PARIS HOMES
Caravans Ut Large Buses
Rolling Toward City With
Passengers And Baggage

VICHY, France, July 17.-RH
OF all the strange sights in France
today, the queerest probably is the
big buses of Paris, looking like
figures in a surrealist nightmare
in their camoulage as they roll
back to the capital after a months
exile in the provinces.
Their back platforms r piled
high with baggage baby CARR
ages, trunks, bags and packages
as they lumber northward. They
left Paris with refugees; now they
are taking them home.
And as they move along, some
with direction signs reading Place
de HOpera' or place de la Bas-
tile" still in place as in the old
time of peace, the Parisians on
the road and the drivers and con-
ductors of the buses hail one an
other with pleased cries OF "alors!"
On Tuesday a column of 40 OF
these buses, more than three miles
long, passed through Vichy on their
way to Paris.
Somewhere between here and
Paris they were to be joined by
two other caravans.
There is evident a determined
if none too strong, effort on the
part of people to get back to nor
NAL after the great shaking up.
From Nice the American con
sulate reported a great number o
Americans were returning to thu
French Riviera from other part
of France. Vichy's already crowd
ed hotels and houses are beinl
taxed further by the arrival o
General .Alphonse ]. Georges from
the north and General Eugene Nit
tlehauser from Syria with thei
general staffs.
Very few deputies and senator:
of the occupied zone have beer
able to leave for their homes.

Of last years total, 1914, 592. 33,
or so per cent, went to counties

The board attributed the increase
in collections to four factors-elim-
nation of the $500 exemption on
each class of intangibles; increase
in tax rates for money on hand
and evidences of debt; widening
the application of the tax on shares
of stock; and greater familiarity
of taxpayers with the intangibles
tax law.
The tax is levied in seven classes
money on deposit and in posta
savings, 10 cents per 500; money
on hand, Is cents per $100; bonds,
notes and evidences of debt, 81

Corals face, as she went back 10

clutched in her hand, seemed 10
express rather more satisfaction
than the occasion warranted.
In the bungalow, Tommy turned
to Gun.
you made bloom.r over that
kid, you know" he began-but
Gun made a gesture for caution,
and lugged him out into the air.
I'm beginning to think I did,"
he said, when he thought they
were safe from mechanical or
other eavesdropping. What did
she say to you, anyway"
"Oh, she was absolutely frank.
She said that, Of course, you had
told me what her game was sup
posed to be--to make me talk
about the invention. But she said
she wasn't going to do that-she's
an agent Of the British government
here to find out all she can about
these birds. and to help US If nee
essary. She wanted to know II
we'd found out what they really
were up to. and 1 told Ter you'd
had shot at il. but hadn't found
out anything definite. Then she
said as soon as she could find out
something she'd hit on some plan
for our escape"
"Oh, damn" growled Gun.
He realized that If Coral knew
how much he had really discovered,
she could concentrate on a plan OF
escape But she did not know. and
that meant that she would prob
ably be trying to find something
out herself-and II she was discov-
cred. which was more than likely.
their one chance Of escaping in
time to foil these madmen would
be gone.
The net result was that. despite
the comfort Of a real bed once
more, Gun spent a practically sleep
less night. between worrying as
to whether Coral would be caught
but during It. and trying to evolve
a practical plan for escape IL she
wasn't.

bruising struggle. Last year De-
troit couldn't turn back the Chica-
goans in eight contests The vic
tory marked the seventh straight
game the Wings have gone without
defeat. Their lone loss OF the year
was the 3 TO setback they suffered
az Toronto in their second contest

chemical is a deadly poison and

Paints should not be applied di-

will work through. The fungus can
be killed by washing the affected
areas with trisodium phosphate So

Then rinse with fresh water, and,
when dry, clean the surface by
sanding or scraping.
Apply paint mixed on the job to
meet the mildew conditions with

Counteructs MiIdew

The effects of mildew can easily
be eliminated if treatment of the
right kind is administered, paint ex-
perts declare Mildew appears on
shaded paint surfaces exposed to
excessive heat and dampness. To
retard its growth, reduce the lin
seed oil content and increase the
turpentine content of paint. The
addition of an ounce of calomel or
one-half ounce of mercuric chloride
to each gallon of paint will largely
eliminate the possibility of this
fungus growth. However, it should
be remembered that this latter
