LONDONERS FIND FAULT WITH DETECTIVES® TIES, Best Dressers Say Modern Sleuths Have Become Careless of i Appeanance. | {LONDON.—The modern Sherlock Holmes has become a, bit careless in his attire, says London’s best dress- erc. When he appears in evening costume, it has been discovered, he wears a hand-me-down white tie. Twenty of Scotland Yard's crack detectives rode to the night club, Chez Victor, in limousines early the other morning, and filed into the place in twos and threes, while merry-making was at its height. All wore swallow tails. iInstead of dancing, the detectives blew a police whistle, and began tak- wcensus of those present, the Chez Victor proprietor having heen suspect- ed of serving alcoholc drinks out of hours. But the young bloods present en- gaged themselves in checking up on tHe dress of the detectives while they themselves were being checked for police headquarters. It was conclud ed of the 20 detectives who took part in the raid, all wore made-up bow ties which society had frowned upon from the first. —_— Back to Odin. Ffom the New York Times A story has been going the rounds | of the French press and has been even printed in Ingland, that Field rshal Ludendorff has changed hi: ligious faith. He has hecome dis- tisfled with German Lutheranism. But does that mean that he has gone over to the Catholic Church come a convert -to 3 Llrislian Science? Not in the least. e has simply decided to go back to the old German worship of Odin. This might be his latter-day of the cry about “our old C Gott,” which was so often r the early days of the war. if the story is true, the field marshal has gone back to the primitives with a vengeance. 1t is much as if Lard Haig should resolve to become a Druid, Gen. Pershing should set | up a totem-pole in front of his house. RADIO’S BEST OFFERINGS TONIGHT.
