Rozed by Blast;
Damage 100000

FORT WORTH. Tex. Sept. I
R.-The former Parrish Inn,
which four months ago became
Paul's Club, blew apart in what
was called the city's worst explo-
sion yesterday, causing an esti-
mated 100000 damage to the
area.
Neighbors were blown out Of
their beds and parked autos
raised of the ground by the
powerful explosion. Two persons
were injured but not seriously.
The establishment was closed
for the night at the time.
Two residents of the area were
taken to st. Joseph's Hospital.
James Plimer. 81. was in bed
at his nearby apartment when
the blast blew the electrical
sockets from the walls. He was
injured when a chandelier
crashed onto his bed and cut his
foot. The rest of his family was
unframed.
Mrs. Roy Kiser, AZ. whose
house sits directly behind the
night club. was taken to the hos
|pital for treatment Of shock.
Fire Marshal Cecil A. Killian
said the blast was very sus-
picious." He could offer no def
mite cause. but said it was "the
most complete blast in his. "a
years Of experience.
The club was demolished past
the foundation level. and Mar
shall Killian said as far as he
could determine, there was no
gas explosion.
The blast took on mysterious
aspects when residents reported
hearing a car, tires squealing.
speeding away from the site just
before the blast.
The club is owned by Bill Jen-
kins and leased by Paul Coates.
Mr.. jenkins. who owns most of
the businesses and houses in the
area, set the damage estimate.

Paris War Loan
Tied 10 Stocks

PARIS, Sept. 4 P).-Premier
Guy Mollet today announced
that a new loan to pay for the
fighting in Algeria will be tied to
price of stocks and bonds on the
Paris Bourse (stock exchange)
He said the idea is to hedge in
vestors against imitation.
Subscriptions to .the loan will
open September 10. If The
$50 billion franc ($428,571 5000
quota has not been reached by
October 20, then taxes will be
levied to make up the rest.
The government has esti-
mated that it will need the $50
billion francs to help pay for
the military effort against the
nationalist rebels in Algeria in
1856 and 1857.
Mr.. Mollet and Finance Min
lister Paul Ramadier gave the
loan its publicity sendoff at a
news conference.
Mr.. Mollet declared it was a
loan both for war and peace.
1T is a question of military
expenses" he said. But it is
also, and above all, a question
OF economic and social progress
in Algeria. Algeria needs, and
will still need when peace has
returned, immense aid from
metropolitan France. We must
continue to develop its natural
wealth. We must continue APP
plication Of the vast social re-
forms decided in recent months. "
The bonds will carry per
cent interest and will be re-
deemed over a period of Is
years, when a band is called for
redemption payment will be
made in accordance with an in
dex established for stocks aod
bonds on the Bourse.
This device Of linking the
value of French government
bonds to other standards as a
guard against initiation has been
used several times in the past.
The most widely publicized case
was that Of the "Pinay loan"
in 1852. which was tied to the
value OF gold.

life with how long the American
worker must labor to buy the
same things.
When this is done, one finds
that in many instances the
Czech worker must work five
times as long to buy a given
item as does an American fac
tory employee.
Off1cial figures show that the
average Czech factory worker
earns six crowns per hour. while
the average American factory
worker earns $1.98 per hour.
Hence, if a commodity here sells
for six crowns, that is the equiv
alent in America of $1.98, since
it represents one hours work in
each country.
Lard S5.28 Per Pound
To show how high prices are
here in terms Of American
money, I have assumed that six
crowns equal $1.98. or one crown
equals 80 cents. Thus. lard is
shown below costing $5.28 per
pound. The price here in the
stores is Is crowns, which at 33
cents per crown comes to $5.28.
Using this simple and handy
method. here are some current
