There are virtually no unfurnished apartments, The wm stopped new huilding, and mdlv rea. estate agencles follow a policy of leas- ing 'all "the unfurnished apartments they can find, of furnishing them, and then . renting them as furnished abodes. Another policy’ which dast- s the hopes of seekers of unfurnished flats is that of giving leasés on apart- ments provided the lessor ‘will' par- chase all the furniture they contain, and at very high prices. ‘When the agile agencies, whose organization is superb, uncover a vacant’ flat they hasten to stick In a bed, a bureau, a carpet and a few chairs and then gravely announce that flat seekers can have their prizé if they pay cash for the “exquisite furnishings.” If You Only Know How ! But in spite of the foregoing an American woman came back to Paris a few weeks ago, after an absence/of several years, and found an unfur- nished apartment at the end of three days. ‘Which demonstrates that if you know how to go about things in Paris, and see the right people, things can be accomplished in France as in ‘other lands. It is knowing the psy- chology-of the people you have to deal with, and realizing that courtesy and patience ever bring their reward. Then began the struggle to furnish the apartment, and here again quick résults were obtained by going about “4t the right way., The lease itself is an amazing’ document, full of techni- cal detalls ard conditions. In addi- tion ta the rent there are the extras like hot water, heating, collection of Barbage, fees for the porter, etc. Fur- thermore, there {s the tax paid the government on each window, and the lease must be officially. registered at an extra charge. . No proprietor in Paris today will do anything in the way of repairs, so the new occupant had to find painters, decorators, men to clean and wash the floors, anfl women to wash the windows. She supplied her own electric fixtures; she had the electric battery in the kitchen removed from the wall in conformity with new regulations; she had all ex- posed wires covered with moulding'to PHYSICAL TRAINING GIVES FIRM HANDS o Somm—_— mb.lll. Bflk". Baseball, R‘dh‘ and Swimming Are Conducive to Staunch Frames, Chester, Pa., April 13.—Widespread ' participation in athletics by girls tl developing powerful fingers and nrm hand grips, according to records com- piled by the department of psychol- ogy and physital education at Dar- lington seminary, a school for girls here. “Measures of muscular power taken on w recording instrument known & dynamometer,” sald Prof, Franl Paxson Bye, director- of the school, | *have disclosed marked .deveiopmant ! in the hand grips of virtuaily all Darlington students. Under a System of cospulsory athletics our giris have added from three to 20 kilugrams of hand strength, “‘Modern girls do not feel a sene of loss with the departure of delicate hands. On the contrary, they, view this development as a part~of the modern athletic prograin to provide them with strong, glowing bodies and alert mentalities. “Similar development in ruscular effort is noted by tests for the arms, back and legs. Basketball, hockey, baseball, riding and swimming are conclusive to this general growth of power. However, a firm, strong grip from the hand is frequenily accepted as an indication of a staunch frame and good mentality. It is indicative of proper co-ordination between mind and muscles.” ALL VIENNA DANCED. Vienna, April 13.—The Vienna city government realized 1,198,000,000 crowns by way of amusement taxes' levied on dancing entertainments dur- ing the recent carnival. The average number of balls held on each of the 40 nights of the carnival season was 88, a record figure for Vienna. LATEST SKIN GAME Marnzhauseri, Germany—A man of highly official manner told village off- cials here he’d been sent by the gov- ernment to remove thé electric wiring of the whole village and replace it with heavier wiring, which would de- prive the village of light for gqne night. The stranger removed e wire and ymade away with it. Marz- hausen's ;etting along with candles Germany in Exchangp lor Dollar Coblenz, April 13—~The cheap Jlv- ing in this part of the Rhine coun- try continues to attract. many Amer- fcans abroad, many of whom came here originally to visit the American occupation zone. The occupled territoriés all along the ‘Rhine enjoy the advantage of having prides regulated, in a manner not possible in unoccupled Germany, | where Americans and other ltnn‘eu sometimes complain they are over- charged, or else compelled ‘to pay higher prices than Germans. The living is cheap because of the rela- ! tive worthlessness of the mark when exchanged for the dollar orthe pound sterling. How it works out {or the German is another matter, What is cheap to the foreigner is dear to him. ) In the case of automobile drivers, the American may use a. taxi for a day, and the entire bill will not be more than three or four dollars, out of which sum the driver gets the equivalent of 25 cents. In other words, the average dailly pay of the skilled workman is 3,000 to 4,000-marks. This also applies to rallway workers of all classes. When it is noted that a man’s shirt costs 16,000 to 20,000 marks, and a pair of shoes 30,000 to 60,000 marks, and both articles of second grade quality, it may be inferred how high the depreclated mark has put the cost of living for the German. One of these skilled laborers, now driving an autombild®for hire, was an infantry captain during the war. Aft- er the war, he worked for the Brit- ish army of occupation, and by great good luck made some money when the reduced British forces began sell- ing oft supplies.. He accumulated a capital in marks the equivalent of $10,000, With this sum he decided to buy a farm and take his wife and chiidr2n to thg country. .He bought a 300- acre farm near Coblenz and went to work. His surplus he invested in farm equipment, horses, stock and seeds. By thé summer of 1920 he h.id a fine harvest, but the diminished value of the mark cut his crop and land values in two. This process con- tinued until he failed. He sold most of his land and is now obliged to work for. a few thourand marks a day, with the mark still de- preciating in value and prices going higher. He and his family now eat black bread and wear rags. (4 . Her Ditficulties Washington, April 13.—Despite sor- jous handicaps durivg the past few years, industrial Alagka has recovered its stability and, in the words of a department of interior ‘announcement, Is riding once more on an even keel “llke a ship righting herselt al!ar a terrible gale.” The' forecast’' of smooth salling ahead is based on the report of the collector of customs at Juneau, Jjust received in Washington. " Increase In Commerce “The year closed with an increase In the commerce of tim: territory over 1921 of $20,780,401 and with a healthy growth in practically all the Industries,” says the statement issued from the department of Be?wury Work. = “Exports from the tefritory of Alaska more than doubled the im- ports, leaving the balance of trade in Alaska’s favor by a handsome margin. !“The outstanding increase in value of shipments to the United States is shown In canned salmon, both as to the number of pounds and value, This was due to the revival of the salmon canning industry, as well as a more nearly normal run of salmon in Alas- ka. An increase also worthy of note, because of its rapid growth, is that of pickled fish represented primarily by the herring industry. A number of lurge herring salteries were installed du 1922 in southwest Alaska and these were kept running until late in the faR to meet the demands for this sea food. Mineral Output Great ““In spite of serious gold mining re- verses during the past few years, the mineral output of the territory for 1922 was approximately $18,000,000 or an increase over 1921 of more than $1,000,000. This increase was due primarily to a larger output of cop- per, yet it reflects in some measure the improvement of the entire mlnerall industry. Pre-war figures can bhe con- sidered only in comparisons, and for the five years ended in 1914 the aver- age annual value of Alaska's mineral autput was $19,700,000. So, compar- ed in values, Alaska's mineral output in 1922 is most encouraging for a re. vival of this industry. “The canned clam industry, which was somewhat dormant during 1920- 21, took on new life in 1922 and the outlook - for a larger pack in 1923 is good. With shipments aggregating $144,471, the shrimp industry is show- ing a steady growth. “The shipment of sawed Ilumber from Alaska to the United States, and also for export to foreign countries, is most gratifying. During 1922 lum- ber was loaded direct on vessels for export trade. A number of mills are Great Russian Steppes.

Mineral Oil Development “The possibility of increased ofl de- velopment in Alaska was most prom- ising at the close of 1922. The oil wells of the Katalla flelds produced steadily during 1922 and their refined product found ready markets within the territory. Production from this fleld, howeveér, has not yet reached the exporting age. A new oil field is now under development in the Cold Bay district. “The travel movement, as shown in the statement of arrivals and de- partures, discloses a pleasing increase in travel to Alaska from thé States. While the departures from Alaska are in excess of the arrivals, it s not be- | lieved that this indicates any failing off in population, but rather is due to the fact that the residents of the in- terior are taking advantage of the cheaper transportation offered by the Alaska railroad to spend part of the winter in the states.” VOICES (N THE AIR Friday, April 13, 1923. , KDKA (Westinghouse—East Pittsburgh).
