(flip cTTvmav nw. rr kit k ttttv itw T A Pursestrings of French Tighten as War Debt Is Felt Uncle Sam's Intimation lie Would Like Payment Cauies Finance Minister to Make Trip to Washington. rarii. July 2J.-By. A. P.) 'Tnele Sam in intimating recently that he would appreciate payment of hit war loam, hat not only caused M. Tarmentitr. a member of the Trench tniiiinry of finance, to under take a trip to Wathington. but hai cucceeded in tightening the French pursestrings to a point where many are wondering what hai become of the 40 odd billions of paper francs that are known to be in circulation. The French people seem to realize now that the American war ad vances are looked upon in official nnd many other quarters, as real loans and not mere gifts, and that they muft he paid. This conviction seems to be responsible for the sudden retrenchment noticeable all along the line, which wa particu larly emphatic on Bastile Day. The gaiety and free spending by the common people, which has al ways marked this day in the past, wao a great disappointment this year to the proprietors of wine shops and amusement resorts. Lest money was spent this year in the entire four days - celebration than was spent on any one day last year. Many Movies Closed. The theaters, moving- picture houses, restaurantr, racetracks and, in fact, alt places which might be classed as luxuries show a large falling off in receipts. Many moving picture houses are closed for the summer season and restaurants, where tables were always engaged days in advance, a few months ago, now are advertising extensively. There is still a lingering hope that M. Parmentier will bring back from Washington, one of those surprises in high finance which are forming the plot of many French stories nowadays. The more optimistic ones are prone to point out that it was M. Antonio Augustine, who went to America in 1769 and brought back a few samples of the humble potato at a time when France was suffering from a dearth of food stuffs. He obtained royal permission to plant a few experimental, hills of potatoes and then prevailed upon the king to wear a potato blossom in his button hole. Subsequently, the potato became one of the chief vegetable products of France; hence the former Parmen tier is looked upon as the father of France's culinary prosperity. Long Skirt Continues. The high waist line and long skirt continued as the outstanding feature in the advance styles now being pri vately shown in Paris. All the dress showings have sleeves .and brown - seems to be the most popular color. Big picture hats will be seen al , most exclusively next; fall, the mil , liiers say,J while the small turban ; like affair will be worn more jn the ' winter months.

T ALBERT. Washington. July 20. (Spe cial.) Long, long ago, someone coined the phrase, politics makes aueer bedfellows," but the trend of affairs in the recreation of the senate would seem to necessitate some al teration of that phrase. Recreation, which senators must have in some form to be better fitted to endure the long grind which keeps congress in almost continuous session, refuses to observe the broad aisle down the center of the senate chamber, separ ating republicans from democrats. For, it must be known, that such things as the following, may happen any old dav in Washington: Senator "Pat" Harrison, the fiery critic of the Harding administration. indulges in a lively debate with Senator "Jim' Watson ot Indiana over tariff schedules, or has a row with Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri over the Newberry case.

Senator Borah of Idaho seldom misses a horseback ride in the morn ing before he goes to the ea'pitol and s.naini cumrtll rf Mpw York slips away when possible for a ride along the bridle paths ot rotomac park. It happens also that both of these senators are ardent pedes trians and take long walks at night, as does seenator Curtis ot Kansas, the republican whip of the senate. lcna(nr T nHofi, ncpH tr ivallf a crreat deal. The late Chief Justice White was nis companion irequenny on trips to and from the capitol. One of the interesting "hiking" parties of official Washington is composed of Senator Wadsworth, Col.

He prefers the up per reaches of the Potomac, around Great Falls. Senator Pepper plays a good game of tennis and through courtesy of President Harding has been playing rn th Whit Hniise courts with his son-in-law. These courts were made famous t)y the tennis cabinet ot the Roosevelt administration. Senator Hnle also plays tennis well. Senators Wills of Ohio, Freling huysen and Pepper frequently ' play baseball with the youthful pages of the senate, in the later afternoons after a senate session. They play out in front of the capitol. Germany Accepts Allied Demands on Guarantees Paris, July 22. (By A.

The following day, Penrose was taken to task about being seen with his great political enemy. He replied with a chuckle: "Oh, you know, Bill and I are pretty good friends after dark." . Strong Friendships. And thus it goes. Senators, or most of them, are too big to carry their political differences into their personal affairs.
