A member of the French Garde Republicaine (special police) spied a pair of diamond earrings twinkling in a Paris gutter last week. He returned them through the Prefecture of Police to Mrs. Gates McGarrah, wife of the chairman of the new Bank for International (reparations) Settlements.
A Paris taxi driver noticed in another gutter last week a gold medal, returned it in the same way to U. S. Ambassador Walter Evans Edge. On his goodwill tour of French industrial cities Mr. Edge received the medal (commemorative) at Strassbourg, famed home town of pâté de foie gras (fat goose liver) a French delicacy greatly appreciated by most U. S. citizens.
