FRANCE PREPARING FOR INFLUX
OF AMERICAN TOURISTS
Pcolflo N*wa Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Certain that
Americans who have been deprived ot
their annual European tours by the
European War will rush to France
and the other countries which have
been too busy to welcome them dur
ing the past two years, the French
people are planning to receive an un
precedented number of tourists im
mediately upon the coming of peace,
according to consular reports receiv
ed at Washington. The French are
confident that the war will not last
much longer and that the yand their
allies will be victorious. Consequent
ly they are making elaborate prepara
tions to get thetir hotels, resorts and
sight-seers mecca3 brightened up for
the inrush of American tourists.- In.
cldentally, the French are planning to
make France so attractive to future
tourists that It will get the majority
o' the American trade. In this effort
the French people are not expected to
be alone, however, Italy, Germany and
other European nations being equally
desirous of attracting Americans vvlth
full purses. ,
The situation as to the tourists has
an Important economic aspect In
connection with International banking
according to students of finance.
Much has been said during the la3t
few months about the tremendous in
crease of gold in the United StuteB
due to the war. One of the reasons for
this which has not been emphasised
generally Is declared by experts con
nected with the Federal Reserve Board
at Washington to be the absence from
Europe of the American tourists. In
normal years millions of dollars in
gold has been taken to Europe every
year from this country. Thl3 move
ment has had a balancing effete on
the movement of gold to this country
incident to the export balance in favor
of tlie''tJnltad States. The wlthrdawal
of this element ‘in the International
situation served to upset International
finances to no small degree, according
to the export.

DRUGLESS PRACTICE LAW
AIRED IN SUPREME COURT
Pacifio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—California's
laws requiring examination and lic
ensing of druglcss healers but speci
fically exempting Christian Scientists
and others who heal by prayer are on
the grill in the Supremo Court of the
United States. P. L.. Crane and Mrs.
Kate P. McNaughton who are drug
Icft healers have brought suits to
have the California statutes declnred
unconstitutional. Tom L. Johnson,
appearing for the healers, declared
that they are discriminated against
In favor of prayer practitioners. De
puty Attorney General Clarke of Cali
ferula and District Attorney Wool
wine of Dos Angeles argued that the
laws are a reasonable exercise of state
police powers. They urged dismissal
of the suits because Crane and Mr3.
McNnughton are not licensed and
have not applied for licenses. Hiram
SAN FRANCISCO CONGRESSMAN
SAYS EMRARGO IMPOSSIBLE
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Any bill
proposing to restrict the free exporta
tion of feed stuffs or any article of
commerce whatsoever from the United
States In an effort to reduce the high
cost of living is deemed to defeat, ac
cording to the belief of Representative
Nolan, of San Francisco, member of
the house committee on labor.
“The agricultural Interests of the
country would never stand for an em
bargo on cereal products,” the Call
fornlan said. “Practically every s*ep
lr. humanitarian legislation of recent
years—the workmen’s compensation
law, the eight hour day for women,
and many others—have been evaded
by the farming Interests, and I do not
believe it possible to enact into a law
any prohibition of the exportation of |
grain."
Mr. Nolan declined to go on record
a3 favoring or disfavoring such an
embargo. He said, however, that It
was his opinion that In the matter of
butter and eggs, housewives of the
country should use oleo-margarlne in
stead of butter, Chinese eggs instead
of the product for which Petaluma is
famous, and mix wheat and corn flour
for bread-baking. The representative
would have the laws so revised as to
make the latter possible, and would
removo the restrictions on the manu
facture and sale of oleomargarine in
an effort to lower the present exorbit
m' retail prices of the two staples.
JAPANESE CORAL TRADE
EXTENDING TO II. S.
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON, Japan Is desirous o<
switching her heavy trade from Itab
to the United States and northern
European countries. For many year*
prior to the outbreak of the war Japan
sent large shipments of coral to Italy
where it was carved into ornaments
ot all descriptions and then forwarded,
cl. itfly through Dutch distributing
companies to the markets of the
world. Japan, realizing the opportun
ity brought about by the war, now is
training artlsians in coral carving end
hopes to build up a direct trade, ac
cording to a special report Just re
ceived from Nagasaki by the Depart •
ment of Commerce. Japan estimates
that this new policy will Increase
ci ral exports from $600,000 a year to
$C£,000,000. This will mena that the
United States Jewelers and other buy
era hereafter will deal directly wiith
Japan. The change was brought a
bcut chiefly through the interruption
to direct shipping facilities brought
j about by the war.

A BAD BREAK.
An amusing Incident occurred at a
reception. During the latter part of
the evening a guest who had a de
plorably short memory for names and
fares went up to a certain person who
looked extremely tired and bored:
“Tiresome affairs, those formal
receptions, aren’t they?"
“Yes, dreadfully,” was the monoto
ous reply.
“Why don’t you go home?" sym
pathetically.
"Can’t: I live here.”
