WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING AWAY FOR A RAINY DAY
Paris, Aug. 30. THAT famous woollen sock of the French peasant, which, if the truth must come out, is also the favourite banking place of many a member of the bourgeoise, is now stuffed to bursting with 27,000,000,000 francs.

Vanconti, the woman who stands between Richard Tauber and marriage in Austria to his flancee, Diana Napier, the British film star, to-day sued Tauber in the Vienna courts for non- payment of alimony.
She and Richard Tauber were divorced in Berlin in 1928. Although a separation took place | in 1931 Austria, where they were married, the divorce has not been confirmed, so that

extent of 30,000,000,000 francs, approximately one-third of the amount of money in circulation, be- fore the Laval government restored confidence to the less timid, who let 3,000,000,000 francs get back into activity.
The thousand frane note tends to disappear quickest Into the woollen sock. That denomination alone accounts for 7,000,000,000 francs of the total amount. Silver coins are next in favour among the hoardern, for though they are worth loss out- side of the country than the paper money and are easier to counterfeit, they look more substantial to the eye of a country which, outside of the biggest cities, still regards Kovernment paper as a subterfugo for offering ringing coln and calls for the police If you reach for a chequebook.-United Prese.
