The prac- ticability of the motortruck as & freight carrier was a revelation to Frenchmen of business who had de- pended in normal times on what would be held an abnormally slow service. From Havre to Paris by boat means often a journey of at least three months, and at the quickest, which tequires special arrangement with the government, takes about four weeks. Commenting on railroad transporta- tion between Paris and the seaports, a Paris business man is reported as saying that from Havre one must ex- pect a delay of one or two months, from Bordeaux a delay of two or three months, and that “when goods for Parls reach Marseilles they stay there.” The humorous exaggeration fllustrates the condition which is turning Frenchmen to the hopeful project of long hauls by motortrucks, a solution which will probably de- velop because the nation is already provided with excellent roads. two now, in a whisper, “so we always slipped out of the city for these fizhts.” M'sieu Thien’s cab stand used to be “in front of L'Intrasigeant, Clemen- ceau’s paper.

REMINDED HER OF SALMON American Traveler in Europe Con- fesses She Would Have Welcomed r Dish Once Despised. Elisabeth Frasér, a traveler and writer, was talking at a dipfwmatic re- <ception in Paris about her recent ex- periences in Vienna. “It is difficult, said Miss Fraser, “to satisfy one’s hunger there, even at ‘hotels that cost $15 a day. “Bating my unappetizing dish of hashed turnips, which frequently com- posed the principal dish of the menu, 1 thought regretfully of the salmon I once disdained on a Canadian trip.” Miss Fraser laughed. “I was traveling in the back coun- try of Canada, where salmon—boiled, broiled, in, salad, creamed, as cutlets —figured at every meal and became ~very monotonous. “‘Is there nothing else for break- fast? 1 asked the hotelkeeper one morning as a whole fish and pot of mustard was put before me. “‘Nothing ‘else? the man exclaimed. “Why, there’'s salmon enough there for six, ain’t there? “‘Yes' I admitted, ‘but I do not want salmon.’ “sWell, then,’ my host-replied curt- ly, ‘fre into the mustard.’” BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS DR.
