CANDY-EATING J0B Sweet Tester Nibbles Away and Exercises and Diets for Health. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, Tll, April 1.—Paid to eat | ®andy all day long! That is William H. Beirer's job—the dream of every youngster. He is official *andy tester” for a national chain of eandy manufacturers. § [ Beirer estimated that in his work he #ts a half pound of candy every day. In his nine years in that position with the candy company he said he con- sumed well over half a ton. As his daily routine he samples the | Chicago factory's products, those sent in by his company's otner factories over the country, and confections put out by gcompetitors. In his spare moments he Eves into the store room and bites into ghocolates and bonbons to see how the guality stands up as time passes. And if he has any time left, he said he tries his hand and palate at new recipes, sampling as he goes along. One might expect him to have the proportions of an elephant. On the con- trary, this man of 44 years, 5 fest 10', inches, weighs 183 pounds.

PRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1932. EDGE CATCHES FISH FROM SEINE; PARIS SUSPECTS POLITICAL PLOT : |S ENVY UF BUYSJchefihelm, Sporting Season Is Opened With More Than Customary Eclat. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, April 1.—The fishing season was inaugurated along the banks of the Seine today with more than the cus- tomary eclat. Paul Doumer, president of the French Republic, presided for the first time at this annual social event, wearing a shiny silk tile with several fishhooks in the’ brim, and surrounded by the cabinet and members of the Among the latter, American Ambassador Walter E. Edge was particularly noticed in an oflskin | coat and rubber boots. Leaders in French society, headed by the Duchess of Talleyrand, formerly Miss Anna Gould; Mr. and Mrs. Berry Wall and their chow dog, whose name could not be learned, made up the rest of the brilliant assemblage. A light, cold drizzle hampered the numerous photographers, but did not otherwise | impair the success of the party. The band of the Garde Republicaine played the “Marseillaise” and the “Bouillabaisse,” alternately. Ambassador Edge won the coveted President’s Cup for catching the first fish. a superb mackerel which obviously had strayed up from the sea, as it was dry as a herring and had particles of salt clinging to it. Political significance was seen in the fact that the mackerel's stomach contained a celluloid button inscribed “Roosevelt for President.” but closer inspection showed that the 1 scription was followed by a date, *190: More curious still was a un tag at- ached to the tail, marked ‘Go to Fulton Fish Market for all kinds of sea food.” A slight contretemps followed when Ambassador Edge stepped up to Pres- ident Doumer to receive the accolade, the grand cross of the Legion of Honcr and the coveted fishing trophy. The minister of fisheries, whose name could | not be learned at a late hour this morn- | be ng, objected that the fish was obviously of American origin, and as the Amer- ican fish quota for the current fshcal year was already full no license to import could be granted. These re- marks were greeted with wild cheering by the crowd and the minister went on to add that there was also the possi- blity that the mackerel was covered with San Jose scales, which have been caus. ing great ravages in the French orc] ards and newspapers lately. This sally drove the mob wild with enthusiasm and they carried the minister shoulder high in triumph to the Pantheon, where Ihe will be buried with military honors late today. | " The ceremony was thus permitted to | proceed, and Ambassador Edge, in & few lengthy but well chosen remarks, thanked M. Doumer for the honor con- | ferred upon him and related some in- | cidents of his boyhood in Fishkill-on- |Hudson. He added that he hoped | Prance and America would always go | hand in hand. “for,” he explained with sly twinkle, “that is better than having their hands in each other’s pockets.” The mackerel was sent later to the Piscological Institute, where experts de- clared it was not a mackerel at all, but a ha annual known as ‘“poisson davril,” or, in English, “whopper.” Copyright, 1932 CAIRO WARMLY GREETS | DAME SYBIL’S PLAYERS | | | MECO T | CAIRO (N.AN.A. —The first per- formance of Dame Sybil Thorndike and her company of English players at the Royal Opera House was something in the nature of a gala night, with King | Fuad and Mohamed Helmy Issa Pasha, the minister of education, in attend- ance. ‘The opera house is run by the minis- try of education.

METERS FOR TAXIS FOUGHT BY CELLER {New Yorker Declares Re- quirement Would Decrease Earnings of Drivers. Determination to “resist every M- tempt to folst meters on taxicabs Washington” was expressed today by Representative Celler, Democrat, New York, who declared that this attempt is “most regrettable.” Representative Celler pointed out that nearly 10,000 men are directly or in- directly employed on taxicabs in Wash- ington. “There are about 7,000 drivers, 1,000 repair men and 1000 service men, he said, The advantages that these drivers and their families bring to allied trades in Washington are in- | calculable. "It may be true that the | drivers make less than the usual wage, | but everybody is in the same boat. “The fact that they have employ- ment is sufficient reason in these times. Saddling the cost of an expensive meter upon those drivers is difficult enough, | but the change from the flat rate to | the meter rate would reduce this em- ‘pluvment more than one-half. “Normally, 1,000 taxicabs at the taxi | meter rate would be all that Washing- | ton would use, since the cost of riding | would be probably three or four times as great as it is today. | _“Many bricklayers, plumbers, car- penters and other artisans, as well as lawyers, doctors and_professional men, Startling! 77 W pyp0f | SENSATIONAL!
