Paris Anril 26 While the French
government is desperately trying ex
pedient after expedient to raise the
39,000,000 francs necessary for this
year's budget, society in Paris is in
dulging in an orgy of extravagance,

Literally incredible sums are wag

for this is said to be the inflation of
the currency, by which everybody
in France, has ostensibly five times
more cash than before the war.

James Morton Winslow, leader of
the young old set, was especially con
spicuous. A group of debutantes
were insisting upon teaching him the
steps of the new dance the Giron
dclle despite the fact that his 80
years necessitates the use of a cane.
Mrs. Richard Owen, nee Hilton,
eranildaucrhter of Ttid?e Hilton of
New York, has sprung a sensation.
She is wearing 32 jade bracelets,
reaching above the elbow. She is
beinar outdone, however, bv a portly
matron whose shoulder is adorned
by a tattooed butterfly.
Another furore is caused by a red
haired beauty who is wearing a
sacerdotal robe, explaining that it
was given to her by a priest. An
other is wearing a Chinese mandarin
robe with her hair arranged on her
temples, maiden fashion.
The greatest sensation of all. how
ever, was reserved for an anonymous
beauty, who, conceiving the idea of
revealing nature, has a new "falling
leaves" dress, "he wears no stock
ings, but has sandals. Realizing
that she needed some aaornmeni lor
contrast, she is wearing a painted
garter an inch above her. knee, the
garter being an imitation rosebud.
It caused many exclamations of ac
niiration while she yas fox trotting.

chequer, taking the place. of the pres
ent chancellor. Sir Robert S. Home,
presented the budget in the house of
commons today. Its leading features,
removal of the xcess profits duty,

chancellor's estimates of revenue and
expenditure of a year ago have been

surplus being recorded.,
No additional taxation is proposed

especially the announcement that the
debt to the United States had been
reduced by 75,000,000 during the
past year and that interest on the v.ar
debt to the United States must be
provided for next year.
He announced that in two ysars
the external debt had been reduced
by 203,000,000, and said the re
maining 5 1-2 per cent five year notes
maturing at New York in November,
amounting to $11,000,000, would be
paid off.

price yesterday.
This brings the price of gasoline
down to 22yi cents per gallon.

Hootch HoUnd Tips
Drinker 8 on Only Way
To Fool Volstead
Chicago, April 26. Joe Maeiezew
ski today put out a hot tip to hootch
hounds namely:
'if you're going to fool Mr. Vol
stead do it all the time, stay drunk;
don't save up thirst.'
Taking a tip from the foolish vir
gins who let their lamps go empty
when the getting was good, Joe pur
chased a quart of scotch just 13 min
utes before the eighteenth amendment
became effective.
"Now i'm set. When I'm thirst',
I'll know where to go," said he. 1
For 18 months Joe rjsisted tempta
tion. By exercising all of his will
power, he allowed the dust and cob
webs to settle on the scotch.
Last night the words pf caution
died on Joe's lips and he pulled the
cork. He had one drink. Then he
agreed with the inward voice invit
ing another and had some more.
Then there was a cyclone that spun
the house around. A pink elephant
rooted on the door and snakes ap
peared from unexpected places. ' It
was a wild night.
Joe appeared at the police station
and wanted to trade an empty quart
bottle for a. chunk of ice. He was
hatlcss, coatlcss and one shoe was
gone.
"I used to like it,"' he sobbed.
''But I laid off too long. Can't stand
it now. I'm a ruined drinker and I
ain through.1"
Because of the presence of tannin
mangrove wood is rot-proof, accord
ing to French engineers who experi
mented with it four years.

nances at the University of Omaha

Telephone Monopoly Is a Myth
There is no telephone monopoly in this
country.
There are approximately 20,000 cities and
towns in the United States that have telephone
exchanges. ...
The Bell System operates in about 5,000
towns, while independent companies operate in
the other places.
But Independent and Bell Systems join to
gether to furnish nation-wide telephone service. -
