FOOD TAKES BIG TOLL IN FRANCE People Undernourished and Over- worked, Dying Like Flies—Na- tion’s Hope Lies in the Women (From a Staff Correspondent of the (United Press.) 3 PARIS—(By Mail)—‘If you want to rent a house in Paris today you have to wait until somebody dies,” was the statement of Mme. Marcelle Robert- Cremieux, daughter-in-law of Senator Robert-Cremieux. “Housé-renting agents arrive’ befae the undertaker to lst thd late renter's home.” The cities are crowded, not only be cause there is no building going on now, even after four years of war, but because the country people are not go- ing back to the farm since they learn<d that wages in the eity are higher. "Mme. Robert-Cremieux told me of her apartment-hunting experience. ft sounded like America. She hunted for a year—then had to stay where she was living. “The day has passed when Amer- icans ean bring a small fortune to France and live comfortably the rest of their lives,” she said. “You used ta get lovely homes with large living rooms, four bedrooms and two baths for 6,000 francs. Today they are over 13,000 francs with money ¢e- posite—and then you don't find them.” “Oh, living is very dear for the French. The exchange on dollars is high and you do not notice. But poor France; Ten departments invaded, ro coal, limited transporthtion, no building for six years!" This charming, educated woman, who looks after housekeeping and market- ing herself, compared market prices. “Cheap cuts of beef are 14 francs a kilo, about 75 cents a pound and a leg of mutton costs about $4. But vegetables are cheap. Wheat flour is high and stil! mixed with rye flour, as in war times. “France is today paying more for every article than she did in the most dangerous period of the war.” 3ut Mme. Robert-Cremieux and other women of her class can pay the prices. How the poor French mother is keep- ing family togtther I learned of Mlle Perrin, head of the Stars and Stripes bureau of the American Red Cross. During the war: and the following | months, Mlle. Perrin has been directcr | of 3,000 French families. Members of | the American Legion adopted the chil- dren of 3,000 French soldiers killed in} the war. Under the bureau, 700 mothers of the} 8,000 have become self-supporting, no longer needing the assistance of the Red Cross. “But the women are giving out,” said} Mile. Perrin. “They have worked too} hard for their children and eaten too! little themselves. We send the chil-| @ren to the country for 150 francs a; month and let the mothers rest,” “But the French people are giving out. They are dying like flies,” said a French dressmaker, who told me of six aequaintances who had died during the week. ““Overwork, too little food! Reaction from the terrible strain during the wer! They eatch any disease that comes along.’ “This dressmaker tells me that she has an entirely new clientele; wives of manufacturers, instead of officers’ wives who are now at home making their own clothes and even doing their own wash. They no longer need or ‘can pay for Madame Liberge’s gowns. “They no longer visit gay tea shors with beaux, as they dlid during the war. The afternoons are no longer a time for lively scenes and well-dressed women. And all this has occurred since war times, everyone agrees."" Madame Liberge confirmed what Ma- Game Robert-Cremieux said. “The women don't want to go back} to the farms where lovely hand-erm } broidered garments seen in Paris shops earn more in| y » 30 Today ¥ owns ay is still However, the quality of sink ins is not se good in the new oves that used to cost four about $1 in the old 7 francs and the finest Silk and eotton gloves plentiful. 465 frances, are all that the French women can erything in our stores is bought by the tourists,” the shop say. 1 still searce and shoes that Wer nes before the war are now four times that amount. And when you go to some of the battlefields you can understand hew the French peasants can sell their vege- fables and fruits so cheaply. Around Chateau-Thierry fruitful farms flourish again. You can scarcely tell that gar- den patches had ever heen disturbed by anything more deadly than a plow- share, I asked an intelligent farmer on the train how rural France could recover ned how to run farms © shops and groceries In the absence of the husband who did not eome back, in so many cases,” he re- are | people yet the government will get it back indfrectly. “We have more money te spend. To- day land is cheap and the women as well as the men are buying land. You would be surprised at the number of farms that are owned and run by our women today. “France could not come back to life but for the women who are running the business, as well, tif not better, than their husbands who were killed in the war.” Lance Se RES ete NOTICE OF HEARING ON ASSESS- MENT ROLL IN GRADING DISTRICT NO. 5, Natrona, State of Wyoming.
