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. ' Brown also has cap
tivated the milliners.

By MABELLE J. 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
