JT IS NOT necessary to hold a brief for England r.or against France, but it is just a bit boring to hear the French rave because we want them to pay their debt to us while England is keeping to the letter of her bond and forking up to our treasury, but the same contrast ifi money matters and morals is as evident in small thing3 as in big. Here are two examples When you pay a bill of over three pounds sterling in England, the tax authorities require that a twopenny stamp-about four cents be put upon it to make it legal. When you pay a bill over a certain amount in France the taxing authorities require ihtt a stamp be put upon it.

But note this difference: In England, when you pay your hotel bill, if it is three riounds, you pay three pounds. The hotel pays for the receipt stamp. In France when you pay your bill for the equivalent of three pounds, you pay that, plus a small amount which is noted on the bill as a "timbre" stamp. The Frenchman makes the customer pay for the stamp. If you ask him why the difference between his picayunish way of doing business and the English way, he shrugs his shoulders and exclaims: "But Monsieur the stamp is yours.

You are taking it away with you on your receipt. It is for Monsieur to pay, not me." Example number two: England exacts of an American the equivalent of ten dollars for a year's visa on his passport. France asks for the equivalent of two pounds sterling. Now your passport may be an old one, running only for one month. Then you get a new one.

The British passport authorities cheerfully transfer the unexpired 11 months. of your visa from your old to your new passport. They nay it i3 only business. As one Briton explained to me: "We sold you a year's visa. We took your money.

It is only right that we should give you value." Not so the French passport authorities. They will not transfer the unexpired balance of your year's visa to your new passport. They merely shrug their shoulders, say they are very sorry and ''Two pounds please." It is nothing less than a hold-up, but a3 one American clergyman who toured France this spring declares, "France is making Americans pay as much of the French debt as she possibly can." Payer. finally regained his ship and started or the homeward path. After two years of hopeless cruising at the will of the drifting ice, Payer abandoned the craft.

He dropped overboard a record of his adventures. Half a century later, in 1921, the record was found by Professor Olaf Holtedahl of the Danish expedition to Nova Zembla.

Hoover Sitting Pretty.

Hoover ia sitting prettier than he ever sat before. He has the best organized personal machine in the country. Chambers of commerce, manufacturers' associations, Rotarians and KIwanians, as well as the trade journals, are rooting for him. He is often regarded as a "Morgan man" by those who pretend to know tha inside of things, but he certainly Is not offensive as such to the ordinary citizen. The financial groups behind the public utilities like Hoover.

15 Proba6ly Dawes. Perhaps Hoover. Possibly Hughes. That's a tabloid lineup representing a concensus of the best political weisenheimers aa they consider the strange situation in the republican party which has developed since President Coolidge threw the little red apple out on the lawn and left the boys in a quan dary whether to scramble for it or, to hold off lest It be coated with paris green. Without definitely eliminating Mr.

Coolidge, it may be said that Mr. Coolidge may have eliminated himself whether he meant to or not Most of the republican politicians are well pleased with what the president said and few tears are being shod among them over the likelihood that he will check out of the White House. Coolidge became president thLiugh accident, was reelected by force of circumstances and has since built up no personal political following. Tho kind of a job a man does In the presidency is not a primary concern to politicians. They want the sort of a man who will play ball with them.

But. the politicians may not have the finsil say as to who i be nominated. Their candidate must have the support of the men behind tho party business men, manufacturers, bankers and of farmers and workers if possible. That's where Uawes, Hoover and Hughes come in. Hughes Strong in New York.

Diary of a modern I'epys: Up betlme and met Eddie Cantor along the avenue, whistling like a schoolboy on vacation, and stopped to talk to Mr. end Mrs. Norm An Hack, v.ho seem to be always traveling here and there and enjoying life to the fullest measure, For breakfast a cup of coffee, the first In four months, and found no taste for It soever.

Moors and their wives and talked with Billy DeBeek, tho cartoonist, who was dining with a fair a lady as over I saw.

So home to bed. In every cafe thero is a sprinkling of men who dine alone. They make a ritual of dining, carefully inspecting menus, balancing values and heeding the culinary lugces-t of the waiter captains. They come freshly t.arb"red and dressed as though attending a court function. Thy eat slowly, over tho crowds casually and are not at all Interested In the casual flirtations of many Ions diners.

It is the party of business en terprise and business privilege. But it is operated by the politicians and the politicians don't like Hoover. They wouldn't have him when Coolidge wanted him as a vice-presidential candidate in 1924 and they won't have him as a nomi nee if they can help it in 1928. There's where Dawes has an edge on Hoover. It Is true th3t Hoover stands out more than ever after his flood relief work, but.

as a political factor that one seems over-estimated. Who expects him to capture Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi or Tennessee for the republicans? The farmers haven't any love for Hoover. He opposed the McNary-Haugen bill and the farmers accuse him of fixing grain prices daring the war while others were allowed to profiteer. "Is Zat So?" Fox films comedy-drama based on the stage play of the same name, with George O'Brien and Edmund Lowe in the stellar roles, opens at the Hancock today. This is the story of a prize-fighter and his manager who get into high society and it ia crowded with amusing episodes as well as thrills and excitement.

The wonder child, Phlllippe De Lacy, plays an important part in the picture, while other members of the splendid cast artj Kathryn Perry, Doris Lloyd. Douglas Fairbanks, Cyril Chadwick, Richard Maitland, Dine Ellis and Jack Herrick. This picture was directed by Alfread Green' and adds another big hit to his long list of successes. Starring Lillian Gish, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's screen version of "The Scarlet Letter" opens at the Crescent today. The novel by Hawthorne well-known enough to eliminate the necessity for saving anything about the story.

It is one of the most compelling and interesting story ever told, and under tha capable direction of Francis Marion, and with the very able cast headed by Miss Gish. Lars Hanson and Henry B. Walthall, the picture loses none of the force, the interest or the forceful quality of the theme which Is so worthy the novel. "Barbed Wire," the Paramount picture which opens today at the Queen introduces a new type of German soldier. Instead of the swaggering bully with a shaved head, polished leather and im maculate uniform, Erich Pommer, the producer, pictures a German soldier who is human.

For this role Clive Brook was selected, and advanced reports say that he enacts it to perfection. The story deals with a German prisoner in a prisoners' camp and his love for a Frenrh country maid. Einer Hanson, Clyde Book and Claude Gllling-water are seen in the supporting cast. The Queen also announced the coming of that phenomenal UFA picture which has created such a commotion among.

Owners of the mine have declined to accede to the demands of the strikers. 'They claim the American right to re-open their mines and resume the digging of coal. Winter is coming and the demand for coal will be heavy. Gov. Donahey sent national guards to the mining region.

He sent one of his colonels to the mining region. Now the strikers are growing restless. Their funds have reached a low ebb. They are bitter against the strikebreakers. They realize that winter is coming and that jobless men with families to care for are facing the rigors of winter as well as hunger.

Gov. Donahey has been told by the mine owners that there must be a show-down. They demand protection for their non-union employes. They demand the right to run their business their own way. Gov.

Donahey was a printer in his early days. He carried a card in the labor union. In his campaign for office he has been backed by the farmer organizations and the labor unions of Ohio. This makes it interesting all around, for Donahey is for' rigid enforcement of pro laws and all other laws. Now what is going to happen in the mining districts in the Buckeye State? Donahey is carrying the load.

This is pleasing to the republican politicians of Ohio who are on the outside looking in so far as official responsibility is concerned.

Just now, Hughes is in the background, easy to be pictured as a compromise candidate In case the convention develops into a cat-and-dog fight, as some observers expect. If the democrats held their convention first and nominated Governor Smith, the Hughes stock would soar.

He has a better chance of holding the great New York electoral vote than any other republican. But the democrats always follow the republicans in convention and no one knows what they will do next year. Still, if the (TALM VfeLF, VIS In the-Land of OUR BOARDING HOUSE CANf VIS WOKil MISS MI5S t-TaVPH 'f HESTH rfALvJAVS -TAKES Ori Si FLAT CARS OF -TrliS 15 AW' MB AA f-fri t-MQIMEtK -faREE PASSEMSERS" TN THE land of the mongol communists are becoming un-popular.

He would deport every avowed socialist found in the United States-and as for anarchists the Texas solon would no doubt adopt the Chinese plan of extermination. There are many avowed socialists in the ranKs of American educators. A great many of these intellectuals boast of Mayflower ancestors. Would Blanton deport American-born pink tea orators while engaged in his work of exterminating the very noisy reds who are few in number but ever in evidence where raving has the call of the hour?

"The Way of All Flesh" is a saga of sacrifice, the coming of temptation in the life of a simple, home-loving man. a powerful lesson on the frailty of mankind. To see "The Way of All Flesh" with Jannings as the man who'slew himself in the eyes of the world that his family might be spared from shame is to experience a flood of cleansing, thought-provoking emotions. There are laughs and tears, and there are moments when the character seems fairly to speak aloud.
