French May
Offer New
Plan to Pay
Finance Policy Expected to
Spceify Time and Amount
of Installments to U. S.
Britain.
Moratorium Is Predicted
rs- n.win m. 4'in itcii,
^ International New* Service Stnff
Correspondent.
London, April 4.—When the French
finance policy is announced Tuesday
it will state terms of a definite at
tempt on the part of France to begin
payment of its drills to the I nited
States and Great Britain, it was
learned here tonight.
'Phis element of the new French
policy will 1)0 for the purpose of re
storing French credit in the 1 nited
States and England. French experts
who have been studying the problem
in London for several days have been
carefully going over the Dawes plan.
It is expected France will endeavor
to pay Great Britain what is pays
the United States. It is probable, it
was said, France will ask the I nited
Slates for a lower rate of interest and
possibly a. moratorium.
Great Britain Is watching the
French situation with the greatest in
terest. It the capital levy on wealth
is put Into effect by the Herrlot gov
ernment. ft was predicted that such
action would have an adverse influ
ence on French credit here. The tax
levy would prompt English bankers
to tighten up on loans to Franco be
cause, it was said, such a socialistic
measure would be the means of
strengthening the position of the
laborites in England. The tory gov
ernment therefore will, it was pointed
out. emphatically oppose that solution
>f the French financial problem.

Divorce Court Judge Draws Moral
From Deserted Wife That Nests on
Window Ledge Just Outside Office
By .1. T. ARMSTRONG.
District Judge L. B. Day of the
domestic relations court is being
forced to worry over a slightly differ
ent variety of wife desertion case.
On the wide stone ledge just outside
of the judge's office in the court house
is a pigeon’s nest. In the nest are
several newly laid eggs, and on the
eggs is a cooing female pigeon, doing
her best to hatch forth little pigeons.
Frequently, however, the mother
pigeon must leave her nest in quest
of food and occasionally after little
twigs to repair the nest.
Different This Year.
There was a nest in the same place
last year, all feathered, and with little
pigeons and home life and everything
of which a divorce judge is supposed
to approve.
And Judge Day did approve, par
Ocularly when he saw that the male
bird hovered about continually during
the hatching and raising of the little
pigeons. Bast year the female pigeon
was fed by the male, and did not
need to leave her nest. The male also
kept the nest in good repair.
But this year no mate has appeared
to assist the female pigeon.
A Flagrant Case.
"It's a flagrant ease of wife deser
tion." said Judge Day, quite angrily.
“I'll soon add child desertion to the
charge, too."
"It's a shame that that pigeon must
leave those eggs for food. But there's
a moral to it. I'm sure this pigeon
has divorced her first husband and
taken on a new one. The moral is, if
you find a husband who Is a good,
kjnd provider, don't divorce him.”

Woman Twice Widowed, Six Times Divorced, Is Now
Honeymooning With “True Love;” No. 3 Jfas Favorite

One Husband Died From
Natural Cause, One Killed,
Three Desert.
Urania, Da., March 4.—"I know
now that I have the men of my
heart," smiles Mr?. Caroline Hatfield,
who Is honeymooning In her home In
Urania with her ninth husband. She
la 55.
Her first husband died from natural
causes, one was killed accidentally,
three disappeared after domestic up
heavals and were subsequently di
vorced, and three were present when
she divorced them.
To her only son Mrs. Hatfield at
tributea her present happiness. It
was this son who met Mr. Hatfield and
invited him to his home. They had
been working together. Hatfield ac
cepted the Invitation.
"It was love at first sight," said
"Aunt Ca'llne," as she Is affectionate
ly known In these parts. "Or rather,
It was love at first sight so far ns
I was concerned,” she corrected. And
then she added, with just a suggestion
of pride, "and I believe it was mutual."
This Is ller Fast.
That evening Hatfield almost forgot
it was time to leave. Something
seemed to he holding him back. The
next day Hatfield again found hap
piness in the companionship of "Aunt
Ca'llne." The fates worked swiftly.
Hatfield told Aunt Ca’llne of his deep
interest in her. And she confessed an
Interest in him.
On the third day“1n the little church
In Urania Aunt Ca'llne became a
"Mrs." for the ninth, time. And she Is
certain it will be her last matrimonial
venture.
"For," she said, "there Is nothing
except death that can possibly Inter
fere with my present happiness."
Kxpiaining her brief courtship, she
said:
"I don't think it Is necessary to?
know a person such an awful long
time to love him. There Is something
far more powerful than the mind that
tells you that happiness lies in certain
paths." ,
Five in a Row.
Aunt Caroline first went to the altar
in her teens—back In the eighties,
changing her name from Caroline
Frost to Caroline McDonald. She en
'ered upon her second matrimonial
■ enture some months after her first
husbands death, she became Mrs.
Walters. Shortly after he disappeared
and sh» secured a divorce by default.
Then shortly after sh» became Mrs I
Bronson.
Following Bronson’s death Burgess,
Urania blacksmith, came awooing
And he was successful. But after a
few weeks «he could not bear up tinker
the domestic strife, nnd she divorced
him. Then along osme Pamp Chev
alller, her fifth husband. This mar
riage, too. was short-lived. It ended
when Chevalller disappeared, and
again she became Caroline Frost.
Calls No. S Rest.
The eight husband was I.ulgl, a
native of Serbia. For more than two
years they lived happily together. One
day I.ulgl left Urania suddenly snd
disappeared. Some domestic friction
preceded his disappearance, and when
at the end of a long period she did
not hear from him, she divorced him.
"Of my previous husbands, Mr.
Bronson was the best," she says. "Oh,
how good he was to me, snd how hap
py I was with him." Then s cloud
came over her ns she told of the bit
terness of that day when he met a
tragic death In Urania.
But the bitterness of the past hss
all been brushed from her memory as
she basks In th« love of another such
husband as was Bronson, she declares.
