In the club's territory centering around Le Mans, horse drawn vehicles caused more fatal acci- ionts than motor cars during the period under observation, July 1, 1922 to September 30, 1925. In the Department of Sarthe there were 430 | horse vehicle accidents and only 802 automo- {bile mishaps, while bieycles were blamed for 1277 more.

LURE OF WINTER SPORTS The lure of winter sports In Switzerland and the desire to bask in the sun of the Riviera is threatening the traditional English love of spending Christmas at home, Paris is also at- tracting many Londoners, and the cross chan- nel aviation companies have fnaugurated holi- day excursion rates and put on extra airplanes to handle the traffic which began with a rush a fortnight before Christmas Day. More English people are going abroad this year for the holiday season than ever, and the popular Swiss winter sport centers have all becn full for weeks. At Murren, St. Morftz ard Grindelwald, many of the rooms were re- served ,even during the summer. Along the Itiviera it is estimated there will be several hundred thousand from the British Isles, among them the Duke of Connaught. OBJECT TO STAG DANCES The article in denunciation of formal dances with their stag lines and defense of cabare which Miss Lillian Mackay, prominent in New York society, contributed recently to a New York publication, has found many supporters in England. There are many indications that Miss Mackay expressed in writing what youth nearly all over the world thinks. In London it is becoming more and more difficult for ambitious hostesses to get togeth- er enough prominent young people to stage a successful dance. The Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of York are distinctly “party-shy”, but before the death of Queen Alexandra were often scen {n night clubs with parties of daneing friends with whom they could have an informal evening. The formal dance, with its battery of criti- cal and bejewelled dowagers on the sidelines, is rapidly going into the discard fn English soclety., It has been fn decidedly less favor ever since the war, when so many young peo- ple threw aside ceremony and learncfl the joy of comradeship between sexes without the claborato trimmings of formal social func tions. TIRKES WILD WEST YARNS It has been revealed recently that Mr. Lloyd George is an avid reader of wild west stories. There is nothing the former premier enjoys more than to get wrapped up in a thrilling tale of cow punchers or gold prospectors. He has given instructions to the book dealer who keeps him supplied with reading matter to send him all the good new yarns ahout the Canadian and American frontiers, FLEES FOR SAFETY Shapurjl Saklatvala, the only communist member of the house of commons, barred from the Unifed States last summer as a member of the Interparliamentary Union, will long re- member his recent to Oxford, where he addressed members of the American club.

DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS BERLIN Winter Resorts Are Crowded With Vacationists Enjoying Sea- son's Holidays Berlin, Dec. 26 (®— The weck between Christmas and New Year's finds the German winter sport resorts more crowded than at any similar period since the war., Paesage on &pe- cial as well as regular trains from Berlin, Cologne, Frankfort and other centers to Thur- ingla, the Harz mountains, the Black Forest, the Bavarian Alps and Silesia were sold out weeks In advance and the hotels and pensions in those regions are doing an excellent busi- ness. The travelers are chiefly civil servants, pro- fessors, doctors and small businessmen who are able to leave for a weck with their fami- lies. Early and plentiful snowfalls encouraged the exodus from the cities to the wintry coun try. UNPOPULAR ve put a crimp in a “Tack to the Moustache” movement which had been gaining a foothold fn Germany. Despite the banishment of the kaiserly moustache at the same time that Wilhelm went into exile, eru- #=aders have been declaring that the moustache is the only badge of masculinity lelt to men. Actresses have taken ssue with them, Mady Christians, who started her stage career at the Irving Place theater, New York, sald: “Only clean shaven men for me! And the cleaner shaven the beiter. 1 wouldn't give a penny for all the rest, whether sporting a new style moustache, an imperfal or side whisker: Iritzi Massary, operetta star, thought the moustache had no chance of a revival in any form for the simple reason that smooth shaven men achieve the illusion of youth, which gave bobbed hair its easy victory among women. Henny Porten, film actor, said: “IFor a wom- an the answer to this question depends entire- ly upon the man she happens to be kissing.” SCHACHT SILENT The silence into which Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichshank, has chosen to wrap himseif since his return from the United States has given rise to all sorts of rumors as to what he accomplished and what he failed to accomplish. The wags of the Burgstrassse, Berlin's Wall street, have started a story in this connection that Dr. Schacht brought back with him two fashionahle American dances. They are called “pas de credit” and “pas 4’ urgent”—which may be translated either the “credit step” and ‘“‘money step,” or “no credits” and “no money.” “LACE OF GOD” INDUSTRY The German government is fosterlng a movement to revive the “lace of God"” {ndus- try in the mountain districts of Silesia, which suffered extreme hardships during the war. The “lace of God,” made by Silesian lace malkers, owes its name to a folk legend that through the meshes of the lace God gives bread to the starving. A German woman lace expert has asserted that much of the lace sold in international markets as Venetian, Brussels or French lace is in realty a Silesian origin. To prove her contention specimens of valuable old lace from the Derlin Muscum of Arts and Crafts were thrown on the screen. The mesh and work- manship were the same as In the “lace of God." QU DOG CEMETERY Berlin has a significant dog cemetery In the northern part of the eity which is truly inter- natiohal and males no discrimination on ac- count of “race”, color or previous condition of servitude.” Inscriptions on the marble headstones are written in at least 12 languages. It is as well- kept as the best of cemeteries. A plot sells for $15 with an annual maintenance charge of $5. Some of the marble monuments are sald to have cost from $1,000 to $2,000, One of the numerous English inscriptions reads: “In remembrance of my dear sweet 1it- tle Rex, died July 20, 1915, From his Mis- tress.
