I K-Si FRENCH RAILROADS PAYING OFF DERTS PARIS, July 24.—French rail ways, which have had hard times since August 1914, are nearing the point where Income is suffi cient to meet expenses. Progress has been aided by re cent approval of the Ministry of Public Works for a further in crease of 12 percent In freight tar iffs. Year after year the car riers have been increasing passen ger fares and freight rates in an effort to meet the depreciation of the franc and equalize income and expenditure. At the present time fares and freight rates are more than four times as great as before the World war. One of the principal reasons as cribed for difficulties in French railway finance has been the enor mous expansion of cupitat. Many of tlie loans were used in improv ing property or servh e anil in elec trification. Some were floated In the United States, and these, it is expected, will be paid off in another 15 years or so. Representatives of the indus tries and the farmers have pro tested that high rates make their markets regional, limit distribu tion and hinder export trade. They declare that rates in some parts of the country are 12 times those of pre-war days. The government, largely respon sible for the bonded Indebtedness of the roads, takes 25 per eent on passenger tickets and five to ten per eent on freight charges for taxes.

Wall Street is turn Inn over In Us col lective mind the Interesting theory that a too rapid reduction of the public debt may he responsible for the troubled credit situation, high money rates and general market nervousness. It is estimated that in eight years the Treasury has put more than -$“■300,000,000 into the money market In the form of surplus funds or credits, or about $1,000, 000,000 yearly. This action is seen as providing a plethora of funds which the Federal Reserve system and its member banks are said to have been finding it dif ficult to accommodate and which commerce and industry have been unable to use. The source of Treasury funds was the conversion of approxi mately $3,700,000,000 surplus cot. Ieeted from taxes into debt reduc tion and application to the sink ing fund, about $?,075.000.000, to the same purpose. Some $1,180, 000, 000 is estimated to have been received from loreign governments and miscellaneous sources, while redemption of certificates of in debtedness, Treasury notes and Liberty bonds is said to have made up the balance. It. is argued that this continued and extensive flow of funds into the market made possible ftie building of the greatest silecttla tlve structure the world ever has seen and that efforts to control the nation-wide wave of speculation I produced money market manipula tions quite as disturbing and un desirable. Federal Reserve ef forts to this end. It. is pointed out. have bud (be most depressing ef fect upon the market for govern ment securities rather titan upon the stock market. Federal Reserve authorities, however, are inclined to view such a theory as untenable, if not en tirely fallacious. They declare that while \lhe Federal Reserve redis count rate was raised in an effort to check the record bank borrow-' ings, which were used for loans upon stock market collateral, it was only nature taking Its course that caused the tottering and col lapse of some sections of Wall Street's house of paper under the pressure of restricted credit and high money rates. The Federal Reserve holds that I high money rates are due chiefly* to gold exports, Increased demand for currency, changes in reserve requirements or in Federal Reserve bank deposits and snle of govern ment securities. It is pointed out that nearly $300,000,000 in gold lias been exported from this coun try during the first half of the year, largely fo meet, stabilization requirements of European govern ments, while other factors for “tighter money" have been equally upparent. Exports or gold represent a loss of reserve funds and consequently banks have beep forced to itu I crease their borrowings at the I Federal Reserve bank. Mart-over, brokers’ loans, reported by bunks as loans "for uecount of others” have increased some $800,000,000 during the first half, and have shown no appreciable tendency to ward reduction'. It is explained also that Inas much as the Territory obtains its funds largely from the taxpayers who to a (treat degree are holders of the funds which activate the market, the flow of funds back in to the market is merely the trans fer of money from one pocket to another, without any change in the^otal available.

DOLLAR BILLS TABOO IN SILVER TERRITORY I I TONOPAM. Ncv., July 24.— One ami two dollar bills. omens of HI luck to desert rats anil miners, are scorned j in the vast sagebrush reach- j es of southern Nevada. Ranks do not carry them to cash small checks or to make change, and most busi j ness houses refuse to glace any piece of currency under j j $5 in the cash register. Ik-fore HU7 gold and idl* j vcr coins were almost the j only mediums of exchange. J j Aversion to paper money is natural in a region where men live and die for the yellow or silver ore.

DIVORCE IN BERMANY IS ON INCREASE BERLIN, July 24.—Divorce In (lermany has been rapidly in creasing and the proponents of easy separation are getting ready to strike a decisive blow for a liberalization of the divorce laws. Fifteen divorce courts in llor 1 i 11 are swamped with applica tions and it is estimated that 30,000 marriages have been an nulled during the past year In the capital alone. The German civil code recog nizes three definite causes for di vorce: Infidelity, threat to life and mental derangement of one of the partners; the latter dis ability must, however, not be of less than three years duration. In uny ol these cases the court Is hound to pronounce a divorce. There Is, however, also a con venient "paragraph 156S," popu larly known as the elastic para graph, which covers a inulttude of sins, from drunkenness and ill-treatment to “insulting behav ior" and “moral neglect,” and such cases the judges decide on their merits. Lawyers’ brief cases are tilled with petitions from parties unx i^ts to sever the matrimonial bond and who arc waiting to take advantage of impending re forms in the law tending to make I divorce quicker and easier. Un til now a divorce has generally taken from two to three years, including the appeal to the court of the last instance, the Federal Supreme Court at Leipzig. Mrs. J. K.

F—-5* ‘‘OUTLAWS OF RED RIVER,” COLISEUM j m___ss Tony, the Tom Mix horse known to theatre patrons for his intelli gence, gives the screen a new bit of equine dramatics in "The Out laWs of Red River,” Fox Films new production starring Mix which is to have a two-days’ showing at the Coliseum Theatre, commenc ing tonight. Marjorie Daw lias the leading feminine role, and in one scene she is in the stronghold of the lied River gang and wants to com municate with Tom so that she can plan her escape. She spies Tony from her window. She calls the horse and when he answers she writes a note and tics it to the raddle. Then she sends the horse away to find Tom. In the scenes when Tony is hunt ing for his master the horse does it with such realism that there is no mistaking his purpose, and this bit Is rated as the high spot of his long motion picture career. “The Outlaws of Red River’’ is the screen version of Gerald HeaU mont's sensational magazine story and deals with the life-long search of the Phantom Falcon, a member ■of the Texas Rangers, for his lost foster-sister. The latter was stol en l>v a band of outlaws when the emigrant train of her parents was raided by the desperadoes and her father and mother were killed. ----———————J! “TWINKLETOES” COMING TO PALACE THURSDAY The best cast obtained is the cheapest and best investment in the making of any motion picture, in the opinion of John McCormick, producer of Colleen Moore’s “Twin kle Toes.’’ at the Palace Thursday. “Nothing hurts a picture more than an unbalanced cast," says McCormick. “To surround a popu lar star with mediocre players is the poorest sort of economy. Any one who will reflect for the mo ment can recall a dozen pictures that were spoiled because the work af the star was made unconvinc ing by the ordinary type of acting of the supporting players.” That McCormick is right is in dicated in the case of Colleen Moore, whose each picture has ad vanced her to a higher place in Kodaks Films Developing Enlargements Picture Frames ALASKA SCENIC VIEWS Phone 35 l il a A LEE WILLARD’S n1' *i 1 Hollywood Entertainers ON BOARD S.

Alaska’s golden heart is throbbing again, its boat quickened by mo chanlcal giants which are displac ing t’.ie hardy prospector of the adventurous gold rush days JO years ago. Modern marvels of the gold in dustry, huge hydraulic dredges supplemented with novel methods, have attracted new life to this vast district 'n the very heart ot Alaska. Streams where the sour dough labored with pick and simv. ei will be mined again. Ico anil frozen earth, lang the enemy of the Alaskan placer min er. have been conquered by ex tensive systems of cold watdr' thawing, and gold which the early fortune seeker foiled to get will! he taken by machines from tho; gravel of many creeks. Large Spain operations, made; possible by the expenditure of more than 110,000,000, were start ed this summer after two years of preparation. During this tltnc.’! the Fairbanks Exploration com pany, a stibsldary of the United States Smelting and Refining Co., j constructed an 85-mile canal and an electrical power plant to de- I velop 5 000 horsepower. A network of pipes was built to mike possible the thawing of ice and frozen ground by the pres sure of cold water, thus loosening the gold-bearing gravel for I '.vo dredges. This methol of thaw ing was adopted after earlier ex-; perletues with steam and build ing of fires on the surface of the i ground iiad proved too costly. The coippany also erected here tlie; farthest north fireproof office lit North America. Five more dredges will be add ed to the operations within the next two years. It will take from 25 to 30 years, it is believed, lo wash the known gold-bearing grav el bed3 near here, with exten sions to adjacent territory asaitr1 nr y ars of u(i'iiM‘>nal production. More than 1,000 prisons were em ployed during the preliminary work, out with the start of actual mining this number was cut to 500. Government officials In Alaska predict that the hundreds of min ing claims purchased by the ex ploration firm along the Interior streams will yield from $100,000,. 000 to $150,000,000 in gold. Com pany olliers, however, make a much lower estimate of ubout $50,000,000. Jilt reduction of the gigantl', placer operations has sent the population of Fairbanks upward, but the mushroom giowtlf that fol lowed the first discovery of gold, Is lacking. At the time of the great rush the town boasted 20,000 Inhabitants. Within a few years the number dwindled to Jess than 2,000, but the revival of mining has sent the total to near 4,000.

Hoover in Early Life WEST BRANCH, Iowa, July 24 —Lawrie Tatuin, old Quaker who was Herbert Hoover’s guardian when he was a boy, predicted the success of his orphan charge when Hoover was only 21. “He will succeed,” Tatum fore cast, “because he is frugal, indus trious and energetic.” The example of his guardian, in making the tiny nest egg left by Hoover’s mother grow each year by the alchemy of thrift and shrewdness, was a sterling one for the orphan lad to follow. On the rumpled and much thumbed pages of the old records in the Cedar county courthouse at Tipton may be traced the story of how Lawrie Tatum's strict econ omy and careful Investment; made the original sum of $304.63 with which Hoover faced the world in 1885, grow to $822.07 in 1891. when the future republican nominee had reached 18. Tatum’s first annual report as guardian of Herbert Hoover was made in 1885. It showed that $1.50 a week was being paid for the boy’s board with an aunt and uncle. When Iiitlda Hoover died she left $1,000 and a house and lot In West Branch. Herbert’s share of the small fortune was $332.13V4, according to the concise report of Tatum. But $15 for a suit of clothes and railroad fare to the home of his uncle in Kiugsley, Iowa. reduced the amount to $304.62. Through tho courthouse records may be traced to progress of tho I boy from his mother's death until: he was ready to enter Lcland Stanford university. It was tho firm and kindly hand of Lawrie Tatum, the understanding old Qua ker, which shaped his early for tunes—making his original heri tage grow by sale of the house, by investments which brought eight per cent and by careful expendi ture which enabled Hoover to en- ter college with a nice sum still, saved up. Lawrie Tatum, has long since! passed from earth, but his orphan ward has more than fulfilled his prediction. In 1894 Mr. Tatum made his final report to tho clork with these optimistic words: “Herbert C. Hoover is making excellent progress at Leland Stan ford University, California. Al though his funds in my care are about exhausted, yet he Is ambi tious to complete his course in the university."

WILD CATTLE ON STAMPEDE KANSAS CITY Regular Rodeo Is Held in Streets Hogs Escape, Add to Excitement KANSAS CITY. July 24.—Fifty head of wild cattle stampeded through the streets here early to day following a midnight wreck of a Santa Fe freight train, two blocks from the Union Station. Police motorists staged many exciting impromptu rodeos in the downtown district. Nine cars piled up when the freight train's locomotive left the rails. Three cattle cars were wreck ed and the doors opened. The frightened stock scattered. Soon the police were deluged with I phone calls from excited resi-| dents. Only a few of the cattle were rounded up during the night. Two steers were captured in the vicinity of the Muehlebach Hotel. One wild steer dashed through the plate glass window of a downtown garage and horned several cars. Timid attendants gathered but none dared ap proach the bovine which finally dashed through another window and lied up an alley. One Hteor turned on a street car and was consequently struck.! Shouts of motorists and sirens, of police cars added to the panic. The police informed the resi dents that no officers could he sent to their aid until the down town streets were cleared. While the downtown rodeo was at its height, an automobile col lided with a truckload of hogs, freeing the hogs, which were finally rounded up by spectators. fi oik's Resignation Formally A ere pled; Is llif’hly Commended SUPERIOR, WiS., July 2 4.—Til a letter commending Hr.
