PARIS (N.AN.A)—Parents who are wont to groan in spirit at this time of year because correspondence has been going on between their offspring and Santa Claus about un whistles and trumpets are taking heart again. The hygienists are doing their best to get the sale of such toys prohibited by Parliament. They have denounced them as germ carriers. Judging by the displays of nolse- making toys in the shops, however, do- mestic peace is not insured for this Christmas, at all events. Outside the home, one cannot help wondering how many death blows to the cause of hygiene are being dealt by the peaple and things that engender those multifarious sounds which, “in the ag- | gregate, make Paris one of the world's noisiest cities. Some people contend that it is the noisiest, but Pittsburgh, Athens and London have their sup- | porters. The Academy of Medicine is alarmed over the increase of noise and its effect on the public health. That learned body would like to attenuate all forms of noise and vibration in the interior of the city. ‘The cacophony that is born of trams, buses, sound signals, sirens, open ex- hausts and loud speakers is, they con- tend, a cause of fatigue and nervous ex- citement. They suggest that zones of silence should be provided around schools, hospitals and nursing homes. Of course, long before the autos came NING Tax on Employers And Workers to Aid Jobless Advocated By the Associated Press. A blanket tax of 5 cents weekly on employes and 10 cents on em- ployers was advocated in the House by Representative La Guardia, Republican, New York, to provide relief for those out of work. He said he had prepared a bill to that effect which would in- clude other forms of taxation. “It is the duty of every person in the country to give some kind of relief,” he said. “The 5 and 10 cent taxes would hurt no one.” Paris was a city of horns. The goat boys of Montmartre, the old lady selling vegetables, the rag and bone man and the old chair mender have been ln- nouncing themselves by blowing their | little curved horns for many a long year. What of all these, if Pierre’s trumpet is to go? And what a strong case has Pierre, with the musical horns of old Paris behind him and the saxophones ahead. Form Music Committee. And talking of tin trumpets and sax- ophones, there has lately been consid- erable expression of alarm at the decay in the cultivation of good music. So much so that a national committee has been formed for its development. M. Poincare is the patron, the Presi- dent is the minister of public instruc- tion, and members include M. Herriot, M. Paul Painleve and M. Jovelet, who is president of the musical group of the Senate. The committee will do all in its power to stimulate public interest by means of concerts, lectures and propa- ganda in the press, and will endeavor to keep the French people informed of musical developments abroad, (Copyright, 1931, by North, American News- paper Alliande.)

OWENSBORO, Ky. December 18— Thomas Harrison, 88, retired capitalist and oldest person ever to apply for a marriage license in this county, was wed yesterday to Mrs. Myrtle Tan- ner, 51. “This is no love affair,” he told ques- tioners, saying he had been lonely since | his first wife's death and sought a good housekeeper. His bride said she met Harrison through a relative who said he had offered $10,000 and a home to “the right woman.” ‘The home is a two-story brick struc- ture which Harrison recently purchased and in which they will reside. The bride’s first husband was killed in a grade-crossing accident several years ago. Harrflsons flrst wife dled last year. BILL WOULD END U. S. AID FOR FORCED TRAINING | R | Measure Pruposed to Give delp | Only to Selective Military Units in Schools. A bill to withdraw War Department support of compulsory military training in schools and colleges was introduced | in the House by Representative Sin- | clair, Republican, of North Dakota. | “The purpose of the measure, Sinclair is to extend Government aid only those schools where milit; training is elective. In Government-supported schools it wouid not be possible to make military training compulsory and the receipt of aid from the Government would be contingent on the electivity of the military course.” Sinclair said the bill “would apply to State universities, land grant colleges and othe'r \nnmmmu where the Gov- ernment now maintains Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.
