BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer A French proverb comes pretty close to explaining the French cabinet upsets that keep popping into headlines: “The Frenchman wears his heart on the left and his pocket- book on the right. That means, first, the average Frenchman likes to boast he’s ra- dical because it implies the liber- ty to think and talk as he pleases. Second, the Frenchman seldom confuses his politics with his pocketbook in a crisis. If his radi- cal philosophy interferes with his economic security, he flies to the comforting arms of conservatism. So it was that he approved the conservative Poincare’s saving of the franc in 1926. So it is now that he allows the political leaders to break up his beloved People’s Front. tee The Left Front Several times since the World “| war French voters have demon- 0} TES given that has filed with is Ingurtha Olsen Pin me written request that the tax certificates together with all subsequent omitted or levied taxes held by the State of Florida be advertised and sold to the highest bidder for : provided by House E 1937 acts of h of the strated the accuracy of the poli- tics vs. pocketbook proverb. The national elections in 1924, 1928 and 1932 gave increasing powers to the Socialists and Communists in the Chamber of Deputies, which correspond to our House of Representatives. Yet, soon after these elections, the French voters stood by and ‘isaw cabinets embrace conserva- tive, middle-of-the-road policies, is, Deed Book The taxes to by, certificate represent taxe: to 1937, voth inclu: Said tax certificate together with all subsequent omitted or levied taxes will be »id to the highest bidder at the ¢ L in K West, on - k P.M y of Febru- 126. old are evidenced : ruary 1938, at 3 Dated this the ary, 1938.

Feb. 23 —There’s a new gadget, devised by S. Herbert Smith, to water the potted geraniufm while you're on vacation. Operated by the heat of the sun, it will squirt ten ounces of water into a flowerpot on sunny days. Smith says the plant won't 9-16-23, 1938—M543 need water when there's no sun | to dry it out. Smith’s gadget consists of a metal tank, a length of rubber tubing, and a tiny needle valve. The heat of the sun expands the air in the top of the tank and forces a couple of drops of water through the tube to the plant.

So, in 1936, the parties of the Left—the Communists, the Social- jists and the Radical - Socialists |—decided to take out insurance lagainst this essential contradic- |tion. They formed the People’s | Front—a sort of coalition intend- jed to assure a gibraltar-like Left :majority in the Chamber of De-} | puties. The People’s Front promised radical reforms to French work- } ets, a sort of a French New Deal, fusion, Rightist and Leftist agi- tators and plotters primed their guns and had to be ar- rested. . Cabinet Falls Premier Camille Chautemps snarled publicly at his Communist allies in the People’s Front. The Socialists decided they could not afford to see their friends, the Communists, treated that way; they withdrew their members from the Chautemps cabinet. It fell. Chautemps had made up his mind that he couldn’t carry out a moderate, conservative policy so long as Communists formed a part of the People’s Front, and he wanted a moderate program to encourage business and trade. President Albert Lebrun; the man who canvasses the ruins when a cabinet falls to seek a new premier, soon found no other leader could form a new cabinet. Ultimately the president asked Chautemps to try the job himself }once more, and finally Chautemps persuaded the Socialists to desert their Communist friends tempo- rarily and give him support in forming a cabinet of Chautemps’ own party, the Radical-Socialists —a political party that is neither radical nor socialist in anything except name. It is a perfect illus- tration of the truth of the proverb that says a Frenchman’s heart is on his left and his pocketbook on his right. The Radical-Socialist is more like a Republican or conser- vative Democrat in this country. s*#ee Growing Pains But the new cabinet has ‘about }as much chance of solving the tangled French crisis as a snow- ball in a fiery furnace. Chautemps himself has indicated it probably is a “transition” until a perma- nent solution can be found. To follow this groping toward ‘a solution, remember this: France was slow to accept the machine age. The basic -voting power in Truck Is Locomotive On THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Home-Made Railroad (By Associated Press) ABERDEEN, S. D., Feb. 23.—A | unique carrier contraption and a standard highway truck are the locomotice power of -a railroad line which operates on 18 miles of track between Leola and Mound City, S. D., near here. Farmers and business men re- vived the defunct Mound City and cut operating expenses 40 per cent by using a simple pilot car conceived by W. W. Rabey, man- ager of the line. The pilot car was constructed by dismembering an old flatcar. It is composed of two units which are joined by hooks in the center after a motor truck is backed in- to shafts similar to those of the outmoded buggy . ' The front wheels of the motor vehicle are carried in a cradle six inches above the rails by the front section. The rear wheels rest | on the rails and are held in posi-} tion, without the use of flanges, by the rear section of the pilot car. j Airplane-Shaped School Is Planned In England (By Associated Press) METHLEY, Eng., Feb. 23—A} school shaped like an airplane is} to be built in this mining village.

And most of that time the pow- ers of the world, including the United States of America. have been sending expeditions to put the rascals to rout. Skipping Phoenician and Ro- man and all such ancient history, the Old Man flips a page to the years 1492.
