PAGE SIX The JACKSONVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1924 KIWANIANS HEAR OF FRENCH CUSTOMS Dr. A. B. Applebee Gives Inter. esting Accounts of French Modes of Living and Their Customs at Yesterday's con.

Dr. A. B. Applebee who has recently returned from a trip 10 Europe entertained the members of the Jacksonville Kiwanis club at their luncheon yesterday by relating in a very interesting way impressions gained by him relative to the people of France and their customs and numerous happenings he had experienced during his tour. Dr.

Applebee acted as director of the Methodist Memorial at Chanteau Thierry several weeks during this st summer. In a very humorous manner he of his ocean voyage from the United States to France. He said it was fortunate that a French boat had been chosen for the trip as it gave the passengers for France a chance to become accustomed to French ways by gradual degrees. Dr. Applebee stated that as acting director of the Memorial he had an opportunity to come in contact with the and professional life in in business, such a manner as the casual tourist is not able to do.

The French people are very reserved in their manners and very reticent about taking up with foreigners. However the Department of Aisre, which corresponds to our states. has much to be thankful to American and the residents are therefore' very sympathetic and anxious to show a friendliness to those who are really desirous of becoming friends with them. Many Americans who visit Paris and perhaps make a flying trip thru the battlefields of France often receive impressions of French ways and customs that biased and in many instances, wrongly formed thru unpleasant circumstances which unfortunately gave them a misconception of the real French people. Making out cheeks in France is a different matter from writing out checks in the United States.

Checks are used very little in the rural communities and as a majority of the business firms are made up of small shoe-keepers, they do all their on a very small capital and purchase from day to paying cash or notes for their merchandise. Thirty minutes era consumed in cashing a check and sometimes it passes thru ten ditferent hands before money is obtained upon it. To discourage the sale of real estate in France, a tax is finposed upon a new purchaser, for each person who has ever owned the property in the past and since they are usually dead and cannot pay it for themselves, it is as tho their ir hands are reaching from the grave and demanding that the new owner pay it for them, and it is named "Dead Man's Tax." When a working man builds a little home, he. must only consider the first cost 'but the tax that must be paid by succeeding generations, and for this reason, he puts in just as few windows as possible since he is taxed in accordance with the size and number that he has. France believes in.

preparedness. In the last century Chateau-Thierry has four times been invaded, the citizens driven from their homes, their property confiscated, their, buildings destroyed and families broken up. and yet there are men in America who would vote to loan ten milclaims, to have starving wothat lions dollars to aid, a nation men children, and at the same time drilling her boys from the lower grades of the schools. up thru the universities in the science of warfare. It is easy to mention newspaper editorials from almost all sections of Germany with very outspoken allusions to the eventual retaking of Strasbourg, Silesia, Danzig and even the entire departments of Alsace and Lorraine.

Kiwanian T. W. Beadle who has recently from a trip thru the of club luncheons he had attended in various western cities. Song leader Frank Wanamaker stated that new song sheets will be 'ready for use at next week's meeting and from these the club will learn songs to be at Galesburg.
