Executed In Paris
PARIS, Oct. 10—(£*)—A firing
squad of twelve French soldiers
executed Joseph Darnand, former

U. S. To Loan
Britain Five
Billion Dollars
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10—(/P)—
Britain and United States were
reported approaching a tentative
agreement on a five billion dollar
credit, which it is understood is
the sum the British have indi
cated they will need from this
country to help carry them over
their period of reconversion from
war to peace. American negotia
tors are inclined to consider it
reasonable.
Aspic, the dish used in salad
and with entrees, was probably
named by French cooks who first
used it with game or fish which
they embedded in calves-foot jelly.
Being cold to the touch like a
snake, they called it “aspic” which
is also the name for a poisonous
snake of Africa.
