DSTRET TOLOSE 1S DAY I HOLS Tilson Declares There Is In- sufficient Vital Legisla- tion Ready. Tomorrow is not going to be used for District legislation, although it Is one of the regular “District days.” This was the decision yesterday afternoon of House Leader John Q. Tilson, who last Wednesday had intimated that he would take such action. » M. Tilson's attitude is that there is not sufficient urgent legislation on the District calendar to justify devoting the entire day io that business. The probability is that the House will con- tinue t ration of the inde nt offices appropriation bill to- utative Iilanton, Democrat, who made a motion at a spe- s House District at the chair- an member the House t upon Dis- trict day, n protest in the House ve lay for ntaining the integrity of District day in the House.

Pen and Ink Denied Patroms in Paris Establishments. PARIS, February 20 (P).—Cafe life in Paris is changing with all the other old customs, but old-timers feel that the last blow was struck at the “liter- ary cafe” of the boulevards when a famous cafe decided to discontinue the practice of furnishing pen and ink to patrons. “High cost of everything,” explained the management. No longer may pen and ink and blotter be hai for the ask- ing, with the “bock” or burgundy. Ha- bitues lament the change, recalling the generations of literary men who have frequented cafes and the “tavern masterpieces” that have been written there. French artistic lite for the last half of the nineteenth century was nourished and cherished entirely by cafes, which are now becoming noth- ing but places of common refreshment. G. 0. P.
