McMillan (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, July 2ft—(UP)— The seemingly impossible has happened. Paris is shocked. Grown blase, even bored, by long years of all manner of eccentricities in modes and manners, Paris had acquired the reputation of being immune from reactions to things daring. But not so, as a group of health-seek-ing young women have just provedEvery morning recently these young ladies disported themselves in the altogether on the roof of a house near the fashionable Champs-Elyses where they sprawled in luxurious enjoyment of the warm, sunshiny weather. All might have been well had it not been for the neighbors and office workers in the nearby buildings. The first manifestation was among the business men, who began to arrive at their offices earlier and earlier each day and this coincided with a brisk demand for long range field glasses. As news of the new cult spread, a keen competition for vantage points on the neighboring houses developed and the roofs each morning began to be thick with onlookers. Now Paris doesn’t mind people paying to go and see naughty naked dancing in Montmartre or any of the other thousand and one bizarre spectacles featured behind the closed doors in pleasure salons’ but when it comes to free amusement along these lines, it’s a different story. That just isn’t done and when the police got to hear about it they were scandalized and promptly said soSo the sun-browned maidens, blushing under their tan, were politely told this had gone far enough and that if they wanted to sun-bathe they should go down to the specialy enclosed spaces on the Seine where they could join the other cultists on payment of a few francs. Other groups of girls copied the first offenders but they were put a stop to in the same way. Now a policeman is posted every morning to scan the Paris skyline through a pair of fieldglasses ready to stop any other attempts to shock French modesty. o fist the Habit—Tride at Home, It Pays

NEW YORK TO LOSE BIG FIGHT By William J. Dunn, UP Staff Correspondent New York, July 21).--((J,R) -When an Irresistable force meets an immovable body, just hold the fight in another state, was the simple solution put forward today William F. Carey, president of Madison Squar Garden. The sttaement was something of an ultimatum to the New York state athletic commission, announcing that Carey and his tVllows of the promotorlal concern would stage (heir Mux Schmeling-Jack Sharkey fistic debate outside the jurisdiction of the New York body. The Irresistable force, in the form of Schmellng’s hard German head, collided violently with the Immovable body, the New York boxing solons. when the latter ordered the former to fight Phil Scott, British bruise dispenser. / The order was based on a contract I Signed by Arthur Bulow, once the only manager of Schmellng. but now only a stockholder. Max bail announced many months ago that he! would recognize no contracts not sign-i ed by Joe Jacobs, astute little manager who has won the German’s regard. and he refused to have anything to do with the bout. Accordingly the commission suspended him in New York, barring the possibility of a match between Schmeling and Sharkey in this state next September, under the auspices of Madison Square Garden or any other concern. But the fight will be held next September and although the site has not been selected, Detroit and Philadlephia are under consideration. At first Windsor, Ont., was strongly considered but proved to be practically unattainable inasmuch as the Ontario boxing commission has a working agreemnt with the New York body. Carey pointed out in his statement that the garden corporation would prefer to hold the match in this state and if the immovable body showed, miraculously, alter its position in time, the fight would be carried out at Yankee stadium as originally planned. The attitude of the commission regarding the Carey statement may be indicated next Tuesday, however, when the immovable body meets in its weekly session to determine the destinies of boxing in this state.

KAISEB’S EXILE TO END MONDAY AS ACT EXPIRES Wilhelm Is Not Likely To Return To Germany Now, However By Frederick Kuh United Press Staff Correspondent) Berlin, uly 20—(UP)—The question as to whether the former Kaiser will return to German yhas arisen again because, on Monday the Defense of the Republic law will expire and the virtual exile of the Whilheim monach will come to an end. It is considered extremely doubtful however, if Wilhelm intends to leave Doorn and return to the land over which he once reigned. Von Lindeiner-Wildau. a Nationalist leader, has informed the United Press that he believes failure to prolong the Defense of the Republic act would have no practical effect. One of the Reichstag’s most heated debates occurred over the govern inent's measure to have the act prolonged The vote was 263 for ami 166 against, but a two-thirds majority was necessary for passage. The Nationalists battled stubbornly against the prolongation of the law, principally, it was believed because of the so-called "Kaiser Paragraph.” The Fasciests and Communists, as well as members of the economic party, voted against the bill. The Nationalists fought so hard against the measure, Von LeindeinerWildau said, only to defeat the discriminatory legislation against the former ruler, restoring him at least to the privileges of ordinary German citizens and permitting him to live on German soil. Moreover, he added, it will re-

move the stigma which the law hither-j to had affixed to the one time emperor ; r , I The result of the session was o. | great interest, especially in view of the fact that the members of the economic party hitherto —either neutral on many questions or else favoring the government joined the opposition in the fightagainst the protection of the Republic measure It is understood that the Economic party voted largely in revenge because of a government lions ing measure it has fought. This virtually was a signal for the most riotous, most hectic scene witnessed on the floor of the Reichstag in its history, shouting, catcalling and hissing greeted the Minister when he made the threat, although many of the members were unwilling to believe the government would resort to such masures. —————— 0 — ■■ Heavy Advance Ticket Sale For I. U. Grid Games Bioomingtcir, Ind., July 20. — The present attendance record of 21.541 for Indiana's Memorial football stadium is expected to be shattered twice during the 1929 season. The present rate of the ticket sale indicates that Notre Dame-Indiana game October 5 and the Purdue-Indiana game November 23 will be the 1929 season’s record breakers in attendance. Both of these contests are age-old traditions. Since football started in the Hoosier state these three schools have been great rivals. Records of many years back show that whenever Indiana is host to either of these Hoosier university teams, new attendance records are set. Boy Scout day October 19, when Indiana plays Colgate and the lown reserves, also is expected to be well attended. The season opens at I. U. with the Wabash and Ohio U. doubleheader September 28. o Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tolan of Fort Wayne visited the C. C. Pumphrey family yesterday afternoon.
