OF LIARS T0 BE REORGANIZED Ancient Institution of Prevarica- tors i Southern France Scorn Politicians. By the Associated Press PARIS, February 12.— Gascons, famous for their tall tales, propose to reorganize the old Academy of Liars. This is the truth. The ancient in- stitution of prevaricators, with head- quarters at Moncrabeau, in the south of France, was active until 1850. It held contests and awarded titles of capacity as liars. here is a ‘““Truth-Stone” in this town of 2,000 population on which is inscribed the authority given academy members “to le in all places but without harming any one but Truth.” The Society of Gascon Watchers has an annual story telling contest PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AT SEVENTH 7 i | Policeman Calls Bluff of Speeder In ‘Borrowed Car Going to See His Twins’ By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 12.—Alexander McMullen was speeding, but he had a good alibi when a policeman stopped his car. “Don’t pinch me,” he panted, “I just borrowed this car. T'm on my way to the hospital; my wife just had twins.™” jo0d,” said the sympathetic cop, “step on it. I'll go along.” When the hospital was reached McMullen felt a confession was neces- 'm not married,” he gulped. “I thought it was funny,” said the policeman, “that it took you so long to get to the hospital. This car was reported ‘borrowed’ three days ago.” McMullen was arrested for theft. in the late Spring, and it is at this festival of imagination that they in- tend to revive the academy, with its highest standards of vivid spech. Baron Muenchausen’s world-wide reputation sprang from the British publication of his adventures, but he might have been only a second fiddle in the orchestra if he had tried to lie in France. “Politicilans and other ordinary liars” are ineligible among the €as- con story tellers for their bright brains soar on fantastic imagery, harmless super-exaggerations of en- tertaining yarns. They, like Daudet's noted ““Tartarin of Tarascon,” fre- quently come to believe the fairy tales they tell, so earnest are they and so full of enthusiasm.

GLASGOW, February 12 (). — Harry Lauder will have a larger fol- lowing than ever in the United States and oatmeal mills will be working overtime if all the Scots who are seeking visas finally get them. Twenty of the largest Atlantic liners would be required to haul the' Scots who have applied for American visas in Glasgow alone. Fifty thousand persons are registered at the American consulate, and they are still regsiter- ng. B & POLICE MAY CHECK | ON AUTO PERMITS Eldridge Believes Hundreds of Motorists Are Using Outlawed Licenses. The Police Department was request- ed by Traffic Direscor M. O. Eldridge vesterday to make a more careful check on motorists arrested for traffic offenses to determine whether their permits come within the group out- lawed February 1 by decree of the Commissioners. Mr. Eldridge told Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, that he believed there are hundreds of mo- torists driving in Washington with permits numbered from 1 to 50,000. These permits should have been re- newed before February 1. While a_ special drive to round up drivers using these outlawed permits is not neceskary at this time, Mr. Eld- ridge said that the police should ex- amine the permits of motorists stopped for various infractions of the traffic code, and ascertain if they have legal permits. Those still using the old permits, he explained, should be charged with driving without a permit. B “If this plan does not succeed in forcing drivers to apply for new- per- mits,” Mr. Eldridge said, “a more dmstic procedure will have to be adopted. It might be necessary to throw out a dragnet and stop all mo- torists, such as is done annually in Rhode Island. and Massachusetts, where new permits are required eac yeéar. 1 hope this can be avoided. I iike to be as lenient and courteous as possible with the drivers, but I will not tolerate the continued disregard for my pleas to them to renew their permits.” . Farmers Ask Road to Quit. Farmers in the Clogher Valley of Ireland want their mail handled by automobile rather than by railway. As the result of the coal shortage the Clogher Valley Railway has been un- able to give satisfactory service, and at a meeting held recently the resi- dents of the valley voted that the rail- way either close down or curtail serv- ice and auto delivery substituted by the postmaster general. Deep-Rooted Causes Blamed for Present “Gin Gulping, Petting Orgies and Killings” By the Associated Prese. CHICAGO, February 12.—Behind the gin-gulping, the petting orgies, ever the murders and suicides of pres- ent-day youngsters, lle deep-rooted cause characteristic of American civilization, J. O. Miller of Cleveland yesterday told the International Coun- cil of Religious Educatlon meeting here this week. Mr. Miller is super- intendent of religious instruction of Cleveland, chairman of the educational committee of the council and member of the executive commlittee, * “The only sure cure is removing those causes,” he declared, “and by re- moving them completely by changing the modern system of life and incul- cating into children and adolescents a standard of rational activity, and the only means of teaching such a stand- ard is religious education.” _Mr. Miller stressed that the boy and | girl of today attach little importance | to religion when exposed to it.for only a few minutes every seven days. He urged a revival of ““the most effective religious organization ever known— “that of the great family Bible whi every member attached reverence. The Sunday school, he stated, is being broadened to weekday religious instruetion and vacation schools. SUES BECAUSE HIS NAME WAS NOT IN LARGE TYPE Rod Laroque, Film Actor, Declares He Was Not Advertised Accord- ing to Contract. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, February 12. Rod TLarocque, film actor, filed suit to cancel his flve-year contract with Cecil B, DeMille and the Cecil B. DeMille Pictures Corporation be- cause on four occasions his name was not advertised in as large type as his agreement stipulated. The actor's suit declares the salary feature of the contract, which he signed two years ago and provides a sliding scale wage ranging from $2,500 to $6,000 a week, is satisfactory. The contract, however, specifies that in all advertising Larocque's name shall be in type as large as the name of the production. He also complains that when In- spiration Pictures borrowed him for the filming of “‘Resurrection” De Mille received $50,000 for the actor's serv- ices, but “held out” $5,600 from La- rocque’s share. Later this was given him, but he holds it constituted a breach of contract and “injured his feelings.” L g d Dobbin and Wagon Delivery.

Luckily, beautiful hair is now easily obtained. It is simply a mat ter of shampooing. Proper shampooing makes the hair soft and silky. It brings out all the ‘real life and luster, all the natural wave and color, and leaves it fresh looking, glossy and bright. ‘While your hair must have-fre- quent and regular washing to keep | it beautiful, it cannot stand 'the | | harsh effect of ordinary soaps. The | | free alkali in ordinary soaps soon dries the scalp, makes the hair| brittle and ruins it. . | That is why discriminating wom.- | en, everywhere, now use Mulsified Cocoanut. Oil Shampoo.

HE exercise of good taste in the selection of your personal motor car, as in many other things, need cost no more. Those who have experienced the satisfac- tion of Packard ownership know the truth of this. The Packard Six, like all fine and genuine things, costs more—more than he who wants mere transpor- tation at a price need pay. But if you are one accus- tomed to think of motor cars in terms of comfort, of beauty, of performance above fifteen hundred dol- lars —you may select a Packard Six and your pocketbook need never know the difference. The secret is simple. Mechanically supreme, de- signed and created with superlative talent, with pre- cision protected by inbuilt engineering improvements, the Packard Six retains its comfort, its distinguished appearance, its .quiet smoothness of performance throughout an unusually long life.
