Sedentarv occupations are not ge-
nerally regarded as conducive to good
health or longevity, but Sir H. Bodkin
Polanû, K.C., Avho attained his ninety-
sixth birthday last week, ascribes
his “durability” largely to a habit of
sitting down as much as possible. Once
he was taken to task about hls ill-
fitting clothes, and induced t'o visit
a celebrated tailor. To the susprise
of his friends, the résultant suit Avas
as ill-fitting as any of its predecessors.
and sonie one went to the tailor to
demand the reason. “It is not my
fault, sir, I assure you,” explained
the man. “Every care Avas taken, but
•the gentleman would insist on being
measured sitting down. He said, : ‘I
spend three parts of my life sitting
down, and I prefer to be measured
so!’ ”

DOIGT DE L’ETALA
IS SCALED AT LAST
1 GENEVA. Wednesday.—A party
from Chamonixj composed of the
guides Alfred Couttet and Moussoux,
M. Vachette. • an engineer, Dr. Agnel
and M. Frison-Roche, has succeeded
in ascending the Doigt de l'Etala,
2,850 métrés hig.li—--conquering, it is
said for the first time, the,proud ove r -
hanging monolith situated at the gap
of flië Etala, North of the Grands
Charmoz. separating the needle from
the Petits Charmoz.
Leaving Chamonix at 4:20 in the
morning, the Alpinists were at the
foot of the approacll to tlie Etala
three liours dater. Setting out again
at eight o’clcck, they took the usual
route aeross the Petits Charmoz and
Avéré at the gap at nine. Reaching a
large platform with great difficulty,
they left their bags, and for a dis
tance of 20 métrés, astride a sîender
blade of rock, they slowly crawled
higher. Twice they were able to scale
overhanging rock hy means of short
ladders. Then for two hours the guide
Couttet standing on the shoulders of
his companion. tried to “lasso” the
summit, and failed for lack of space.
The climbers went back down to
their platform, Avhence by a pendulum
swing, Couttet reached the gap be-
tween the finger and the needle of
the Grands Charmoz. Thence he
made a tAventy-five métré throw and
succeeded in passing a rope round the
summit. At four o’clcck he attained
his goal after six hours of uninter-
rupted effort, on!y to be forced down
by a violent storm of hail and snow.

Increased Attendance Enlivens Empire
Exhibition at Wembley.—Royalty
Among Crowd.
Generally ,j-, increased attendances
bave been èxperienced during the
past week at the British Empire Ex
hibition at Wembley and a great
speed-up in business is anticipated
until tb e closing in October. Tbe
average daily attendance is now be-
tween 50,000 and 60,000, but this
number has yet to be doubled before
the figures of last year are equalled.
The best Saturday since the opening
day was experienced last week,
when there was an attendance of
103,854, but even this figure is ex
pected to be beaten on future Satur-
days. During the past week there
bave been visits from the Duke and
Duchess of York, Prince Henry and
Princess Marie-Louise, and numerous
Cabinet Ministers. The Duchess of
York has an engagement to-day at
Wembley, Lord Reading will attend
the Hull Civic fortnight luncheon to
distinguished Indian représentatives
tind merchants on Saturday, and Lord
Birkenhead, Secretary for the Co
lonies, is to pay his postponed visit
to the Indian section.
Much interest is taken in the forth-
coming Freemasonry Festival at
Olympia. To-day marks the comple-
iion of the first stage of the arrange
ments for this great festival, to be
held on August 3 in aid of tlie Maso-
nic Million Memorial Fund, at which
the Duke of Connaught, as Grand
Master, will présidé. Liste of con
tributions recelved to date show that
there will be an attendance of nearly
oight thousand Flreemasons. The
Masonic Million Memorial is the out-
come of a message reoeived from
the Grand Master on the occasion
of the Masonic Peace Célébration held
ut the Albert Hall on June 27, 1919.
The fund is to provide a perpétuai
memorial in thé form of a home for
the United Grand Lodgë of England,

commodation for the English Craft
generally, especially those from the
provinces and overseas. The new
Temple is; to be set up in Queen’s
Street, on the site of the présent Free-
masons’ Hall.

A remarkable case of mistaken
identity, leading to the arrest and
then the discharge of an Army officer
has been disclosed by the withdrawal
of the bill of indietment against him.
It is stated to be the most remarlc-
able case of mistaken identity since
the two convictions of Adolph Beck
in 1S9'6 and 1904. Although he
stoutly denied any offence, Major
Robert Osborne Sheppard, D.S.O., of
Kënsington, was remanded at Clerk-
enwell Police Court on a charge of
stealing from a young woman. Delta
Dennistoun, an attaché case contain-
ing £18. 10s. and other property from
a bouse in Bloomsbury. In spite
of a police statemeut that it was
believed 'that a mistake had been
made, the magist'rate declined to take
the resporisibility of üischarging
Major Sheppard, who was committed
for trial on bail.
The first prosecution under a new
traffic bye-law forbidding the throw-
ing of money to children from motor-
cars has resulted in a fine of £2 for
a Yorkshire railway signalman at
Brighton. He was returning from
the Brighton races in a car and per-
sisted in throwing coins on the road
to make children scramble for them.
There was a procession of cars at
the time and two small boys were
nearly run over.
Ai
Artificial respiration was tried by
four doctors for three hours, without
success, in an attempt to revive a Bir
mingham visitor who was caught by
the current while bathing at Perran-
porth. The man, named Taylor, of
Copeley Hill, Erdington, Birmingham,
had been warned that low-tide hath-'
ing is extremely dangerous.

THE WOMAN
OF THE DAY
(Photo .Henri Manuel.)
MLLE. JEANNE BOUVIER.
Groping one’e way off a back Street
in Montmartre up tbe pitch-black,
cramped. twisting stairway to a mo-
dest, but sunny and airy room on the
top flonv where lives Mlle. Jeanne
Bouvier is the proper symbolical ap-
proach to hearing the occupant's life-
story.
Vigorous and cheerful and past
cnxty, neat as a pin in her white-col-
lared cloth dress, with dark eyes ra-
diating inner contentment and outer
friendlinese under a aureole of curl
ing white hair, Mlle. Bouvier told a
Paris Times reporter that sh© is going
off for a holiday visit to her relatives
in the Isère, content with the belief
that next November will see a réalisa
tion of her efforts for a minimum
wage for home workers. Last Fri
day the French Superior Council of
Labor finished receiving reports from
the unione and workers concerned as
a step in their considération of
Mlle. Bouvier’s proposai to put teeth
into the présent inoperative law of
Juiy 10, 1915. So, too, she has been
the ïirst to propose Insurance for
home workers.
A Factory Worker at Eleven.
But one appréciâtes best ail that
Mlle. Bouvier is doing to-day by going
back to the beginning when, just
eieven years after she was born at
Salaise-sur-Sanne (Isère), she went to
work in a silk-throwing mill. Shut
out for ever from the green fields
aud open country she loved, her little
body was humped over huge piles of
raw silk from five o’clock in the
morning until eight o’clock at night.
When she was twelve, Jeanne was
sent to Vienne to Work in abother fac
tory and there she lived like a little
woman, old long before her time. She
cooked her own meals, washed her
own linen and learned to reckon so
closely with her small wages that
sotnetimes of a Sunday she could
afford a bit of chocolaté. At four-
teen her mother sent her to Paris,
to live with relatives and to be ap-
prenticed to the hat trade. And
then after el%yen years, when she
was twenty-five, she had to start ail
ever again, an économie crisis forc
ing her to find another trade. She
became a petite-main in a dressmak-
ing establishment and for the year
of her apprenticeship received only
2 fr. 50 a day. It was not a happy
time for a young girl living alone—-
she was no longer with her relatives
—and always hungry, for she could
afford but one meal a day. Another
year and she was a graduate worker
in a Rue de la Paix establishment
and receiving 5 fr. a day. “My un-
happy days were over at last,” she
smiles.
Medal for Craftsmanship.
A gold medal that Mlle. Bouvier
Won at the International Exposition
for Féminine Arts and Trades in 1902
for a child’s dress of rose silk was
a récognition of her craftsmanship.
Her own troubles somewhat Iessen-
ed by hard work and careful thrift,
the young sempstrees did not forget
hcr darker days and days that were
slill dark for her fellows. When
thirty-four she allied herself with
the dressmaker’s and seamstresses’
union—later allied with the shirt-
makers—and to-day she sits on the
council of the organisation. From
1909 to 19<12, she represented them
on the Superior Council of Labor.
Sh© threw herself eagerly into both
the labor and peace section of the
National Council of French Women
and for more than fifteen years she
has belonged to the French Union
for the Suffrage. Her enormous
crergy and breadth of outlook hâve
placed her among the workers of the
French Office for Home Labor, the
section for Women’s Study at the
Musée Social, made her a lecturer on
workers’ guilds at the School for Fac
tory Superintendents, and sent her to
Washington, Geneva and Vienna to
international labor congresses.

“Madame X” Corset Trademark
In Second Court War.—
Other Business News.
®> ÛVER THE RIVER &
When Sarah Bernhardt was play-
ing "Madame X” in New York in 1911,
Abraham Rocke decided to use th©
name of the play as the trademark
for reducing-girdles and corsets which
lie was manufacturing. He'and his
brother sold “Madame X” corsets until
1916 and then quarrelled as to which
owned the business.
While they were quarreHing s orne
other business men formed the Ma
dame X Company and began to sell
“Madame X” corsets. At last the
brothers found something to agréé
upon. They are now suing the Ma
dame X Company for violation of their
trademark.
The défendants deny that they knew
of the Rocke family quarrel; they
assert that they thought of “Madame
X” ail by themselves. and that if
the Rocke brothers ever owned the
trademark they abamloned it by
their eigbt-year quarrel over its
ownership.
The Suprême Court will décidé the
mat ter,
Another case of litigation growing
out of litigation is the suit of the j
Pacific Southwest Trust and Savings
Bank against seven motion-picture '
men who w’ere planning to put back
into business the bankrupt Selznick
Pictures Corporation. The bank wms
one of the creditors of the company
when it went bankrupt in May, 1923,
and among the assets that went to it
was the right and title in ‘‘Rupert of
Hentzau” and “The Çommon Law'.”
Selznick was the producing com
pany. Its subsidiary, Select Pictures
Corporation, handled the distribution
of Selznick pictures. Select was re-
organised after the banlcruptcy, and
it increased the scope of its business
hy taking independently-mâde films
for distribution as well as those Selz
nick pictures now belonging to cre
ditors. The bank daims that the
distributing corporation was to re
celée 30 per cent, for its services and
to pay 70 per cent, to the owner of
the pictures. But the bank allégés
that the officers of the company failed
to keep the moneys of the bank and
other producqrs separate from its own
funds, and dipped into them to pay
themselves exorbitant salaries. The
bank is suing for $113,000, which it
daims was misused. It charges that
when the film company was vunning
at a loss its president, Walter J. Green
was receiving a salary of $25,000, al
though he had no previous expérience
in the motion-pictures business, and
that this w T as increased to $30,000.
There are seven défendants, headed
by Mr. Green, Avho was former presi
dent of tbe Utica Investment Com
pany and formerly connected with tha
Savage Arms Company; and by Wil
liam C. J. Doolittle, former vice-pre-
sident of the Utica company and
former vice-president of Selznick
Distributing Corporation.

The night watchman at the Bowery
Savings Bank turned sharply and
clutched his revolver when he heard a
tremendous crashing of glass over one
of the tellers’ cages. He Avas just in
time to see the body of a boy strike the
floor, a lifeless heap after hurtling
through the glass ceiling. Salvatore
Scuilla, aged eleven, had been hop-
ping from roof to roof to win the ac
clama of two smaller children, and had
made a fatal slip. Two years ago
Salvatore w r as struck by a falling
■timber and was in hospital twenty-one
days undergoing many délicate opera
tions.
Apparently ail the “artists” are
not on the Left Bank. At least, ac-
cording to Fred Payne, who runs the
“artists’ Grill”, on the high road to
Montmartre, liait the “artists ’ from
Montparnasse hold doAvn the stools
at his place from mid night till
morn. Of course, Fred means Drink-
ing artists.
The différences lietween Montpar
nasse of to-day and of five, or even
three years ago, xvere peculiarly ap
parent during the holidays. Time
Avas when one tiny band furnished
ail the music necessary for the crow r d
at the intersection of Raspail, Mont
parnasse and Bréa. And that crowd
Avas largely composed of the regular
clientèle of the Rotonde, Dôme and
Cigogne, them ail small cafés. The
high lights of the festivities then
were individual nut stunts by cer
tain Left Bank amateur comedians.
Gosh, Iioav sevious they’ve ail be-
come! Well, it’s iu keeping Avitb tlie
spirit of 1925. Montparnasse is
nothing if not modem. This year
we had “four” bands, three of them
regular jazz outfits, at the corner, in
front of the monstrously overgroAvn
cafés. At that, scareely sufficient
for the crowds, this time largely
composed of tourists disgorged at re
gular intervals from siglitseeing
buses, and wealthy artists running
over in their motor cars to hajve a
look at the “good old quarter”..
There’s one little café that has some-
how managed to preserve the old
Montparnasse atmosphère; name
not furnished on request; try and
find it. Oh, for those Fourteenths
when the old boy played the biniou
and the musette x>ast°rale. Yet,
when ail is said and done at Art
Wyman might or might not put it,
it’s a lot easier to dance to Jazz.

Several persons were hurt in the
aftermath of the célébration of the
French National Fête. At Belleville,
the laboriiig district of Paris, an
excited crowd of three hundred at-
tacked four policemen to force them
to release a prisoner. After a pitch / -

threatening them, the policemen
drew their revolvers and fired to
the ground. One of the policemen
was stabbed in the back, being seri-

Sabotage committed on locomot

gineers bas been reported by che
P.L.M. Railway to tbe police at Mar-
seilles (Bouches-du-Rhône). Two
engineers arrived at the Marseilles

MASCULINE MODES
Boys at Eton College must not

ûecree has been issued at Eton but
the headmaster has warned local
tailors that any trousers more than
twenty inckes round the anlde are

Another English School to han
Oxford “bags” is Mill Hill. The
School magazine records their fate
in verse as followe.
Tbcse bags are comfortable, and cool,
To none can I compare thei..;
But when I brin g them to t his school,
I’m not aiiowed to wear them.
The fashion for keeping curious
pets seems to be growing again in
London. The other a man in Bond

Straw hat dealers in New York

An early summer more than made up

giraffe in a fiock of peacoeks. Rare-
ly has so complété a victory been won
by the dealers, Last year’s straws
travelled from the first mirror to the
askean. Brims changed from nar-
row to broad, crowns from. high to
low, ribbons from blaclt to every
color and not confining themselves
to standard rainbow hues. Thrift
was beaten as soon as opportunité

DOIGT DE L’ETALA
IS SCALED AT LAST
1 GENEVA. Wednesday.—A party
from Chamonixj composed of the
guides Alfred Couttet and Moussoux,
M. Vachette. • an engineer, Dr. Agnel
and M. Frison-Roche, has succeeded
in ascending the Doigt de l'Etala,
2,850 métrés hig.li—--conquering, it is
said for the first time, the,proud ove r -
hanging monolith situated at the gap
of flië Etala, North of the Grands
Charmoz. separating the needle from
the Petits Charmoz.
Leaving Chamonix at 4:20 in the
morning, the Alpinists were at the
foot of the approacll to tlie Etala
three liours dater. Setting out again
at eight o’clcck, they took the usual
route aeross the Petits Charmoz and
Avéré at the gap at nine. Reaching a
large platform with great difficulty,
they left their bags, and for a dis
tance of 20 métrés, astride a sîender
blade of rock, they slowly crawled
higher. Twice they were able to scale
overhanging rock hy means of short
ladders. Then for two hours the guide
Couttet standing on the shoulders of
his companion. tried to “lasso” the
summit, and failed for lack of space.
The climbers went back down to
their platform, Avhence by a pendulum
swing, Couttet reached the gap be-
tween the finger and the needle of
the Grands Charmoz. Thence he
made a tAventy-five métré throw and
succeeded in passing a rope round the
summit. At four o’clcck he attained
his goal after six hours of uninter-
rupted effort, on!y to be forced down
by a violent storm of hail and snow.

Increased Attendance Enlivens Empire
Exhibition at Wembley.—Royalty
Among Crowd.
Generally ,j-, increased attendances
bave been èxperienced during the
past week at the British Empire Ex
hibition at Wembley and a great
speed-up in business is anticipated
until tb e closing in October. Tbe
average daily attendance is now be-
tween 50,000 and 60,000, but this
number has yet to be doubled before
the figures of last year are equalled.
The best Saturday since the opening
day was experienced last week,
when there was an attendance of
103,854, but even this figure is ex
pected to be beaten on future Satur-
days. During the past week there
bave been visits from the Duke and
Duchess of York, Prince Henry and
Princess Marie-Louise, and numerous
Cabinet Ministers. The Duchess of
York has an engagement to-day at
Wembley, Lord Reading will attend
the Hull Civic fortnight luncheon to
distinguished Indian représentatives
tind merchants on Saturday, and Lord
Birkenhead, Secretary for the Co
lonies, is to pay his postponed visit
to the Indian section.
Much interest is taken in the forth-
coming Freemasonry Festival at
Olympia. To-day marks the comple-
iion of the first stage of the arrange
ments for this great festival, to be
held on August 3 in aid of tlie Maso-
nic Million Memorial Fund, at which
the Duke of Connaught, as Grand
Master, will présidé. Liste of con
tributions recelved to date show that
there will be an attendance of nearly
oight thousand Flreemasons. The
Masonic Million Memorial is the out-
come of a message reoeived from
the Grand Master on the occasion
of the Masonic Peace Célébration held
ut the Albert Hall on June 27, 1919.
The fund is to provide a perpétuai
memorial in thé form of a home for
the United Grand Lodgë of England,

commodation for the English Craft
generally, especially those from the
provinces and overseas. The new
Temple is; to be set up in Queen’s

A remarkable case of mistaken
identity, leading to the arrest and
then the discharge of an Army officer
has been disclosed by the withdrawal
of the bill of indietment against him.
It is stated to be the most remarlc-
able case of mistaken identity since
the two convictions of Adolph Beck
in 1S9'6 and 1904. Although he
stoutly denied any offence, Major
Robert Osborne Sheppard, D.S.O., of
Kënsington, was remanded at Clerk-
enwell Police Court on a charge of
stealing from a young woman. Delta
Dennistoun, an attaché case contain-
ing £18. 10s. and other property from
a bouse in Bloomsbury. In spite
of a police statemeut that it was
believed 'that a mistake had been
made, the magist'rate declined to take
the resporisibility of üischarging
Major Sheppard, who was committed
for trial on bail.
The first prosecution under a new
traffic bye-law forbidding the throw-
ing of money to children from motor-
cars has resulted in a fine of £2 for
a Yorkshire railway signalman at
Brighton. He was returning from
the Brighton races in a car and per-
sisted in throwing coins on the road
to make children scramble for them.
There was a procession of cars at
the time and two small boys were
nearly run over.
Ai
Artificial respiration was tried by
four doctors for three hours, without
success, in an attempt to revive a Bir
mingham visitor who was caught by
the current while bathing at Perran-
porth. The man, named Taylor, of
Copeley Hill, Erdington, Birmingham,
had been warned that low-tide hath-'
ing is extremely dangerous.

THE WOMAN
OF THE DAY
(Photo .Henri Manuel.)
MLLE. JEANNE BOUVIER.
Groping one’e way off a back Street
in Montmartre up tbe pitch-black,
cramped. twisting stairway to a mo-
dest, but sunny and airy room on the
top flonv where lives Mlle. Jeanne
Bouvier is the proper symbolical ap-
proach to hearing the occupant's life-
story.
Vigorous and cheerful and past
cnxty, neat as a pin in her white-col-
lared cloth dress, with dark eyes ra-
diating inner contentment and outer
friendlinese under a aureole of curl
ing white hair, Mlle. Bouvier told a
Paris Times reporter that sh© is going
off for a holiday visit to her relatives
in the Isère, content with the belief
that next November will see a réalisa
tion of her efforts for a minimum
wage for home workers. Last Fri
day the French Superior Council of
Labor finished receiving reports from
the unione and workers concerned as
a step in their considération of
Mlle. Bouvier’s proposai to put teeth
into the présent inoperative law of
Juiy 10, 1915. So, too, she has been
the ïirst to propose Insurance for
home workers.
A Factory Worker at Eleven.
But one appréciâtes best ail that
Mlle. Bouvier is doing to-day by going
back to the beginning when, just
eieven years after she was born at
Salaise-sur-Sanne (Isère), she went to
work in a silk-throwing mill. Shut
out for ever from the green fields
aud open country she loved, her little
body was humped over huge piles of
raw silk from five o’clock in the
morning until eight o’clock at night.
When she was twelve, Jeanne was
sent to Vienne to Work in abother fac
tory and there she lived like a little
woman, old long before her time. She
cooked her own meals, washed her
own linen and learned to reckon so
closely with her small wages that
sotnetimes of a Sunday she could
afford a bit of chocolaté. At four-
teen her mother sent her to Paris,
to live with relatives and to be ap-
prenticed to the hat trade. And
then after el%yen years, when she
was twenty-five, she had to start ail
ever again, an économie crisis forc
ing her to find another trade. She
became a petite-main in a dressmak-
ing establishment and for the year
of her apprenticeship received only
2 fr. 50 a day. It was not a happy
time for a young girl living alone—-
she was no longer with her relatives
—and always hungry, for she could
afford but one meal a day. Another
year and she was a graduate worker
in a Rue de la Paix establishment
and receiving 5 fr. a day. “My un-
happy days were over at last,” she
smiles.
Medal for Craftsmanship.
A gold medal that Mlle. Bouvier
Won at the International Exposition
for Féminine Arts and Trades in 1902
for a child’s dress of rose silk was
a récognition of her craftsmanship.
Her own troubles somewhat Iessen-
ed by hard work and careful thrift,
the young sempstrees did not forget
hcr darker days and days that were
slill dark for her fellows. When
thirty-four she allied herself with
the dressmaker’s and seamstresses’
union—later allied with the shirt-
makers—and to-day she sits on the
council of the organisation. From
1909 to 19<12, she represented them
on the Superior Council of Labor.
Sh© threw herself eagerly into both
the labor and peace section of the
National Council of French Women
and for more than fifteen years she
has belonged to the French Union
for the Suffrage. Her enormous
crergy and breadth of outlook hâve
placed her among the workers of the
French Office for Home Labor, the
section for Women’s Study at the
Musée Social, made her a lecturer on
workers’ guilds at the School for Fac
tory Superintendents, and sent her to
Washington, Geneva and Vienna to
international labor congresses.

“Madame X” Corset Trademark
In Second Court War.—
Other Business News.
®> ÛVER THE RIVER &
When Sarah Bernhardt was play-
ing "Madame X” in New York in 1911,
Abraham Rocke decided to use th©
name of the play as the trademark
for reducing-girdles and corsets which
lie was manufacturing. He'and his
brother sold “Madame X” corsets until
1916 and then quarrelled as to which
owned the business.
While they were quarreHing s orne
other business men formed the Ma
dame X Company and began to sell
“Madame X” corsets. At last the
brothers found something to agréé
upon. They are now suing the Ma
dame X Company for violation of their
trademark.
The défendants deny that they knew
of the Rocke family quarrel; they
assert that they thought of “Madame
X” ail by themselves. and that if
the Rocke brothers ever owned the
trademark they abamloned it by
their eigbt-year quarrel over its
ownership.
The Suprême Court will décidé the
mat ter,
Another case of litigation growing
out of litigation is the suit of the j
Pacific Southwest Trust and Savings
Bank against seven motion-picture '
men who w’ere planning to put back
into business the bankrupt Selznick
Pictures Corporation. The bank wms
one of the creditors of the company
when it went bankrupt in May, 1923,
and among the assets that went to it
was the right and title in ‘‘Rupert of
Hentzau” and “The Çommon Law'.”
Selznick was the producing com
pany. Its subsidiary, Select Pictures
Corporation, handled the distribution
of Selznick pictures. Select was re-
organised after the banlcruptcy, and
it increased the scope of its business
hy taking independently-mâde films
for distribution as well as those Selz
nick pictures now belonging to cre
ditors. The bank daims that the
distributing corporation was to re
celée 30 per cent, for its services and
to pay 70 per cent, to the owner of
the pictures. But the bank allégés
that the officers of the company failed
to keep the moneys of the bank and
other producqrs separate from its own
funds, and dipped into them to pay
themselves exorbitant salaries. The
bank is suing for $113,000, which it
daims was misused. It charges that
when the film company was vunning
at a loss its president, Walter J. Green
was receiving a salary of $25,000, al
though he had no previous expérience
in the motion-pictures business, and
that this w T as increased to $30,000.
There are seven défendants, headed
by Mr. Green, Avho was former presi
dent of tbe Utica Investment Com
pany and formerly connected with tha
Savage Arms Company; and by Wil
liam C. J. Doolittle, former vice-pre-
sident of the Utica company and
former vice-president of Selznick
Distributing Corporation.

The night watchman at the Bowery
Savings Bank turned sharply and
clutched his revolver when he heard a
tremendous crashing of glass over one
of the tellers’ cages. He Avas just in
time to see the body of a boy strike the
floor, a lifeless heap after hurtling
through the glass ceiling. Salvatore
Scuilla, aged eleven, had been hop-
ping from roof to roof to win the ac
clama of two smaller children, and had
made a fatal slip. Two years ago
Salvatore w r as struck by a falling
■timber and was in hospital twenty-one
days undergoing many délicate opera
tions.
Apparently ail the “artists” are
not on the Left Bank. At least, ac-
cording to Fred Payne, who runs the
“artists’ Grill”, on the high road to
Montmartre, liait the “artists ’ from
Montparnasse hold doAvn the stools
at his place from mid night till
morn. Of course, Fred means Drink-
ing artists.
The différences lietween Montpar
nasse of to-day and of five, or even
three years ago, xvere peculiarly ap
parent during the holidays. Time
Avas when one tiny band furnished
ail the music necessary for the crow r d
at the intersection of Raspail, Mont
parnasse and Bréa. And that crowd
Avas largely composed of the regular
clientèle of the Rotonde, Dôme and
Cigogne, them ail small cafés. The
high lights of the festivities then
were individual nut stunts by cer
tain Left Bank amateur comedians.
Gosh, Iioav sevious they’ve ail be-
come! Well, it’s iu keeping Avitb tlie
spirit of 1925. Montparnasse is
nothing if not modem. This year
we had “four” bands, three of them
regular jazz outfits, at the corner, in
front of the monstrously overgroAvn
cafés. At that, scareely sufficient
for the crowds, this time largely
composed of tourists disgorged at re
gular intervals from siglitseeing
buses, and wealthy artists running
over in their motor cars to hajve a
look at the “good old quarter”..
There’s one little café that has some-
how managed to preserve the old
Montparnasse atmosphère; name
not furnished on request; try and
find it. Oh, for those Fourteenths
when the old boy played the biniou
and the musette x>ast°rale. Yet,
when ail is said and done at Art
Wyman might or might not put it,
it’s a lot easier to dance to Jazz.

Many Hurt as Croix ds Celehrate
Mob Attacks Police at Belleville
While Minor Accidents Mark
Day of Rejoicing.
Several persons were hurt in the
aftermath of the célébration of the
French National Fête. At Belleville,
the laboriiig district of Paris, an
excited crowd of three hundred at-
tacked four policemen to force them
to release a prisoner. After a pitch / -
ed hattle with stones, and bullets
threatening them, the policemen
drew their revolvers and fired to
the ground. One of the policemen
was stabbed in the back, being seri-
ously wounded. Six civilians were
shot in the leg.
At Béthune (Pas-de-Calais) the
deck of a barge gave away, drop-
ping to the bottom of the hold the
crowd that had gathered to watch
some aquatic events. A number of
persons were ser.iously injured. At
Lille General Dauve, commanding
the lst Division, was- reviewing his
troops when his horse was startled
and h'e was thrown to the paved
etreet on his head. .Taken to hos
pital it was found his injuries were
not sevious.
In the Rhineland the French army
of occupation celebrated the Four-
teentk with more enthusiasm thau
ever. The great review took place
at Wiesbaden on the HindenUurg
Platz, where the French High Coin-
missioner and General Guillauma*.
were présent. Here the Régiment of
Rifles which is preparing to go to
Morocco was presented with its
colors.
In Paris the ceremony at the Etoile
took. the place of the usual review
at Longckamp. If less large, it was
none the less impressive. Ail the
the miütary authorities near Paris
were présent. After paying homage
to the Unknown Soldier, President
Doumergue distributed décorations
and then reviewed the troops. ;
Cherbourg Préparés for Reviewv
Cherbourg is preparing for the re
view of the French F le et here to-mor*
row by President Doumergue.
Sabotage in Raiiway Shops-
Sabotage committed on locomot
ives driven by non-revolutienary en
gineers bas been reported by che
P.L.M. Railway to tbe police at Mar-
seilles (Bouches-du-Rhône). Two
engineers arrived at the Marseilles
round-house, one of them to find
the safety-valve out of commission,
so that a boiler explosion might hâve
resulted, and the other to diseover
the throttle of his locomotive open
so that it would bave started of its
own accord when the steam pres
sure was sufficient. Other minor
acts bave been reported.
Old Man Dies of Bee Stings.
Attacked by a swarm of bees from
a neighbor’s hives, August Lallement,
seventy years of âge, was stung so
severely about the face and head while
in his garden at Villenauxe-la-Petifc©
(Seine-et-Marne) that he died before
medical attention reached him. The
victim was seriously ill following a
similar expérience two months ago.
Wife a Suicide, Husband FoUows.
When he learned that his wife had
committed suicide, a man named Bes-
sonat living at Paray-le-Monial (Saône-
et-Loire) bought a revolver and killed
himself.’ Pie left a note asking to be
high officiais of the Government and I buried with his wife at Moulins.
MASCULINE MODES
Boys at Eton College must not
wear Oxford “bags.” No official
ûecree has been issued at Eton but
the headmaster has warned local
tailors that any trousers more than
twenty inckes round the anlde are
liable to be returned for réduction
*
Another English School to han
Oxford “bags” is Mill Hill. The
School magazine records their fate
in verse as followe.
Tbcse bags are comfortable, and cool,
To none can I compare thei..;
But when I brin g them to t his school,
I’m not aiiowed to wear them.
The fashion for keeping curious
pets seems to be growing again in
London. The other a man in Bond
Street was leading a fox on a chain.
The animal, which was a half-grown
cub, seemed entireiy oblivious of the
crowds and the noise. It was on a
chain which might easily bave held a
young éléphant.
Straw hat dealers in New York
bave had to replenish their stocks.
An early summer more than made up
with its hot air what the annual
straw-hat advertising may hâve lack-
ed with theirs. And the excessive
hot spell now beginning makes a
man in Fifth Avenue in any other
headgear feel as conspicuous as a
giraffe in a fiock of peacoeks. Rare-
ly has so complété a victory been won
by the dealers, Last year’s straws
travelled from the first mirror to the
askean. Brims changed from nar-
row to broad, crowns from. high to
low, ribbons from blaclt to every
color and not confining themselves
to standard rainbow hues. Thrift
was beaten as soon as opportunité
knocked.
