By MARIAN HALE Paris, Nov. 18.—Very few e can designers have the courage compete with the Parisians in their own stronghold of style, but Yvonne Davidson, wife of the American sculp- tor, Jo Davidson, has. Her understanding of Americans and her knowledge of the type of clothes they like and need, has en- abled her to change her once small, modest shop in Paris ,to a prosper- ous and pretentious one, where she | shows aom’ of the most distinctive and beautiful frocks in Parls, and where she designs with her own coun- trywomen in mind. ““Many American women come to | Paris and develop a serious case of ‘buyitis’,” she explained. | a great many gorgeous frocks in a | short time, sce them on girls selected to show them off to the best advane tage, lose their heads and begin an orgy of buying.

The heads of industry declare that unless the hours of labor are extended from eight hours to 10 hours per day it will be impos- sible to make deliveries on reparation aeccount. 1t is held at the French foreign of- fice that if the workmen in the Ruhr agreed to furnish nine hours of labor it would provide an immense addition- al profit to the industries, and that with the 10-hour day they conld make | that profit over and above anything they delivered on reparation account, 80 that the proposition amounts to the | shifting of the reparation burden to the shoulders of the laboring popula- tion. The French government, it is maid, is not disposed to favor any scheme that would thus shift the burden and at the same time put immense addi- tional profits into the pockets of the coal and iron magnates. An official of the foreign office re called today the made by Fred I. Kent of the American econom ic committee of the international [chamber of commerce, that one hour |a day extra labor by the employes in | |German industry would enable the | country to pay annually 60,000,000,000 gold marks in reparations, and the in- ference was drawn that two extra hours would more than suffice to meet Germany's reparation obligations with- out demanding any sacrifice from the industries, Tt is felt here that Herr Stinnes and his associates are maneuvering to make the allies responsible for the ex- tension of hours of labor which the Industrialists themselves are demand- irg. estimate “GAS" GOES LOWER TODAY, New York, Nov. 13.—Extensions of the gasoline price cutting war to the eastern scaboard, reflected in addi. tional reductions of a cent a gallon by the leading refineries yesterday has brought the tank wagon price of gasoline to 14% ecents in Massachu- setts and 15% cents in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, Delaware's area Is only 2390 square miles.
