FEWER TOURISTS OUT
MORE DIVORCE SEEKERS
PARIS, March 25. (^P)—The rising
franc and general hard times in
Prance have recreased the tourist
invasion, hut the number of Ameri
can couples seeking divorces at the
hands of French courts rises steadi
ly.
In 1926, according to one of the
leading American lawyers here, 280
American couples were divorced by
Paris courts, just 160 more than in
1925. Versailles, Biarritz and Nice
showed similar increases.
The department of the Lozere is
the happiest in all France, if statis
tics are to be believed, for not a sin
gle divorce application was made
tere during the year. The Marquis
de Chamburn, American citizen by
reason of his descent from Lafayette,
represents that department in the
Chamber of Deputies.

—A. M. Chilson, physical director of;
the Paterson, N. J., Young Men’s
Christian Association, has announced
that he is working on plans for a'
swimming test to be held ten miles!
off the Atlancic coast with two
i
ocean liners as goals. The course
■would be 25 miles. Chilson plans to
have the test in the summer)1 when1
the water will be warm. The Atlan- *
tic will offer a speedway with little
competition, thinks' Chilson, as a
swim around Manhattan Island, a
counter proposal, would meet river
traffic in such force that the swim
mers might have to turn aside from;
i
the course mapped out as the short-1
est distance between two points.!
