Gentle told of being in the Place de la Concord in Paris with a French friend, a few months ago, when a riot broke out with considerable exchange of gunfire. In order to escape the bullets, the two men. who had no feeling about the issues that had caused the riot, dived into the basin of the fountain, which was filled with water, and lay there until things quieted down. When they climbed out, wringing wet, the Frenchman telephoned his wife, to explain what had happened. "Do you mean to tell me," she cried, in such an angry voice that Mr.
