SHORT HAIR AND SKIRTS HELP TO KILL GALLANTRY By Allee Langelier INS Staff Correspondent Paris.— Short hair, short skirts, and in general, woman’s desire .to be on a level wltlj men in nil walks of lire, have killed old French gallantry, according to Fernand Laurent, wellknown city councillor. "Women have become so mannish,” nays Monsieur Laurent, “that the men no longer feel the need of respecting them as in the good old days. What Is more, they don’t demand it. except of course some of the older generation who do not understand the new ways. ■ The world has grown to ho a great arena in which everyone, men as well as women, are fighting sot their own chances. One can’t afford to be polite today. There is not time and there are tpo many little troubles to bother about without considering one's neighbor." As in most everything else, the real cause goes back to the war — and women. Father was away at the front. Mother had her hands full trying to earn the butter and bread. As a consequence, the children were left to their own upbringing. Jazz-bands; exaggerated sports and American movies also come in for their share of the blame for the disappearance of old-fashioned politeness which was formerly the monopoly of the French nation. "Gone is the day when a young dancer politely conducted his failpartner to her place. A new mode has come in with the “jazz-band dancing' and now every young girl must fight her way back, regrets Monsieur Laur ent. "Sport is ail very well in its place huf to make it so important is to diminish mind, feeling and sentiment to a minus quantity and without these there can be no courtesy." On Derby Day at Chantilly some of the prpfessional bookmakers temporarily forsook the horse to lay bets against the various Republican runners at the late Kansas City convention. With a fashionable and numerous American public on hand, takers were legion and business was brisk. The color of your political horse meant little or nothing to your French "bookie.” Whether your favorite was the popular fancy or just one of the dark horses, the odds were about the same—even money or worse. "These candidates are all Greek to me.” as one prominent bookmaker explained it when interviewed, "but ze people come and ze people want to make zese funny bets. Qu’est que vous voulez! Me take 'em. Bizness is bizness.” Bookmaking in France is like liquor selling in the states —taboo, so there is no official record of how the books came out on their transactions.

A buffalo belonging to a circus here treed itself by bi caking an inchI thick rope and left ruined flower beds, gardens and fences in its wake. More wild west color was injected when Montana Red. a cowboy, traveling with the circus, captured the animal with a lariat. The animal was one of a team of buffalo which drew a wagon in which President and Mrs. I Coolidge rode during their vacation last summer in the Black Hills. SCOTTSBURG —1. R. Stewart, local undertaker, was called to the scene of an auto truck collision to get a man's body, to find lite man not onlyalive but unhurt. The customer the undertaker didn't get was one of a i party of three in the auto. After the i crash, his companions left to arrange ! for repairing the car. and he rolled himself in a blanket and went to sleep at the road side. Passing motorists, I believing the man dead, called I Stew-art. RUSHVILLE — Weldon Cameron, charged with Miss Ruth Newman of causing damage to an apple tree by running against it witli an automobile was acquitted when he proved an alibi that he was at a church service when the crash occnred. Miss Newman also was acquitted, her alibi being that she was at a brother's home. Otto Floyd was the complaining witness. o- ■—— - Butter and Ash Wood In some parts of Britain, to make . sure that the butter will not,be be- . witched, It is usual to make the churn- . staff of ash, and for the same reason herd-boys use an ashen stick for drlvi Ing cattle.

GERMANS SPEED BUILDING GREAT OCEAN AIRCRAFT By International News Service Berlin. With one airship and two "lain hydroplanes scheduled to make maiden trips within the next few months. Germany hopes to be nearei lo the realization of u trans-Atlantic passenger service between Europe and America than any other nation In tlie world. At the Zeppelin Works at Frledlichshalen on Lake of Constance Germany's now giant airship, the "Count Zeppelin is already being assembled und will make its first flight over Germany and part of Central Europe in the beginning of August. This airship with 105,000 cubic meters capacity is by one-half larger than the "Los Angeles” and ten times as large as the Italian airship “Italia" lost with General Nobile and his crew in tile vast regions of the Arctic, it will not use gasoline as fuel but a newly discovered gas of almost the same specific weight as air. fills fuel will considerably increase the erasing radius of the ship, which will be able to tty 6,500 miles without stopping. Spanish Company According to contracts already concluded this new Germany airship will be leased to the “colon" a Spanish Air Traffic Co., after the Zeppelin lias proved its absolute reliability in various Trans-Atlantic and Transcontinental flights. The "Colon” intends to estaldish a regular passenger and freight service between Sevilla and Buenos Aires with this airship. Just opposite Friedrichshafen, in Altenrhine, on the Swiss side of Ixike Constance, however, a serious competitor to the "Count Zeppelin” in the forthcoming trans-Atlantic air service is being “horn" in a monster hydroplane now nearing completion at the Dornier Airplane Works, the ! sister organization of the Zeppelin Works. This plane, which promises to lie I tlie biggest plane in the world for a long time, is built with a special view to its use in trans-Atlantic flights. Al- . though strictest secrecy is maintained by the Dornier works as to layout and details, it is learned that this new giant plane will carry 25 to 30 passengers and a crew of captain, two pilots, two mechanics and one radio operator in addition to consider-' -

able amounts of freight and mall. In Its appearance tlie new Dornier "Do X” as If Is culled now. resembles tlie famous Dornier Whale and Super Whale hydroplanes used by Amundssen in his North Polar flights and now ulso suecossfuly flown by the "Deutsche Lufthansa," the German ' Air Traffic Corporation. Tlie "Do X" will b' 1 propelled by no less than twelve motors, 6 on each wing, with a total of 6,000 h.p. The power plant of the new Dornier plane will thus surpass that of the "Count Zeppelin" by more than one half! Built Like Boat Like the Dornier Whale planes, the new "Do X" has no special pontoons. Instead tlie craft's body is built like a huge boat to keep the plane afloat. It is made so strong that its builders believe It will be aide to wit list and tlie stress of evfii tlie stonn'est seas, making emergency landings on midocean possible. | The total wing-spread of tha "Do X" is 70 meters. 1 The huge fuel tanks will lie housed within the hollow wings, there is ample room therefore in tlie plane’s , body for about 100 passengers, although on long distances the number is to be cut down to 25 or 30. As a further concession to the “safety first" rule, the plane can remain in the air even when *4 of its 12 motors should become disabled. ——o—- , Pelican's Love-Making The courtship of the pel bean Is a very quaint performance. The male bird first attracts the attention of the female by prodding with Ids beak the earth In the vicinity of the chosen one. The two then hbld each other gently by their beaksi In a manner which seems to correspond pretty closely to hand-squeezing! The scene closes with the two birds bending down and rubbing the tops of tbelr heads toget her 1 —oInstallment Plan Old The system of purchasing on the In st: Iment p.un can be traeedjiaek to antiquity. Crassus, a contemporary or Julius Caesar, Is said to have made a fortune by building houses outside of Rome and selling them on the Installment plan. The present system Is known to have existed a century ago. It was during tlie Inst decade that tremendous expansion In sales and In dustries in Installment buying occurred. —— o Came of Good Family The father of Mary Todd Lincoln was a bank president, state senator, owner of n mill and part owner of a woolen factory.
