PARIS=—= Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Decorat- ed by French But the Customary Kiss Somehow Was Omitted. London, July 17—British airships of the fu- ture are to be so much bigger than was thought some months ago, that the gigantic airship hangar at Cardington has had to be réconstructed. It was originally planned to be 700 feet long and 144 feet high and capable of housing two airships of the R-33 class, but it now measures 812 feet long and 180 feet high says Modern Transport and will house one airship of the R-101 class. A mooring mast has been erected with a pump capable of lifting 2,000 gallons of fuel oil an hour to airships. ARE GETTING HIGH SALARY Much stir has been credted in London thea- trical circles by the announcement that the Guitrys, the celebrated French actors, are paid £ a performance for their acting in *“Mo- zart,” the musical play they are producing at the Gajety in French. €harles B. Cochrane, the veteran producer, says, however, that this price is far from a record salary in the London theaters. He says he paid Duse more than is paid to both the Guitrys—that is Sacha Guitry and his wife, Yvonne Printemps LIKES BOBBED HAIR Bobbed and shingled hair is an undisguised blessing, says Dr. J. Francls Taylor, medical officer of health for Walthamstow, in the sec- tion of his annual report referring to girls’ schools. “May the fashion long continue,” adds the doctor. “Cleanliness and freedom of the brain-case from the weight and heat of great masses of hair mors than compensate for the loss of the abundant locks, to avhich the old fetish attributes a woman's glory,” says the report, WAR VET DENIES OWN DEATH Joe Varney of Aylesbury is officlally dead and his family has been notified that his grave has been found in France, yet Varney himself, insists that he is quits his old time self and has no use for a cemetery. He says he was wounded during the war near Pozleres ten years ago and discharged trom the army. His mother was officially in- formed that he was missing when he was ac- tually in a hospital in London. Now the Im- perial War Graves commission announces that his grave has been found in France, but Var- ney says he does not want it, CROSS WORD PUZZLES The cross word puzzle which was brought over here from America is still a craze in northern England, and newspaper competi- tions have caused a famine in shilling postal orders. Manchester ran out of them this week and a hurry call to London only produced half the quantity asked. Nearby towns are also without supplies. WILD BIRDS CHANGING The haunts of wild birds as well as their food, are being changed considerably in land through increasing motor traffic, breaking up of great forested - estates for building and the disappearance of woods, s and meadows. The annual report of the Royal Society for the Profection of Birds adds “Beyond the mar- gin of the land, petrol-driven vessels outdo the danger of the motorear Inland by emptying on every sea an oily refuse that means death to the sea-birds.” The society reports that special perches placed on lighthouses around the coasts have saved the lives of thousands of birds during the migration seasons. pa NOTED SURGEON DIES W. H. Clayton-Greene, regarded as one of the clevercst surgeons in the world, has died at Guernsey in the Channel Tslands, as the re- sult of a relapse after influenza. He sacrificed wealth and a great London practice, as well as professional degrees and distinctions, because he thought he would be happler as a general practitioner in Guernsey. He retired while comparatively young and expressed bellef that successful men often re- tire too late or after they have lost the capa ity for enjoyment. TORRANCE VISITS HOMELAND rnest Torraice, the Scotsman who has be- ecome well known in American films as a fron- tlersman, is back in the British Isles on a vi and s appearing in person at some of the plc- LONDON ture houses where “The Pony Express,” in which he played, is booked. Torrance was a music hall artist in England before he fnvaded Hollywood and won fame in “The Covered Wagon” and other western films. “American frontlers moved westward over the bones of British pioneers,” says the Lon- don Express, “and Torrance could very natur- ally imitate his forefathers who clashed with the Indians.” : WOULD LICENSE THEATERS George Bernard Shaw would license theaters in the same way saloons are licensed if he had his way about it. Mr. Shaw, addressing the Society of Authors, Playwrights and Composers, offered his plan as a means of improving the present method of stage censorship It at the end of a yvear, the author contin- ned, it was considered that a certain theater had not been conducted in a proper manner, responsible complaints could be made to the licensing authorities. Parls, July 17—The kiss that accompanies 2 medal in France was temporarily omitted re- cently when M. Georges Leygues, minister of the navy, decorated Mrs.. Harry Payne Whit- ney at St. Nazaire on the day that her monu- ment commemorating the first arrival of American troops in France during the war was inaugurated. “Why 80?"” the minister was asked after- wards by Ambassador Herrick, who has be- come sufficiently acclimated in France to give and receive the accolade without fiinching. “Well, you see,” explained M. Leygues, who has been premier and held ministerial office a number of times, “T didn't feel worthy as 1 myself hold no rank in the Legion of Honor at And besides, the band was so near!” “It's gone now.” said the ambassador. And as Mrs. Whitney happened to be still close by, the minister gallantly concluded the ceremony of investure in accordance with tra- ditional observances. PLAYING FRENCH EXCHANGE Playing French exchange has taken a stronger hold than sightseeing these days on many American tourists. The historical monu- ments near Paris, even Versailles and Fon- tainebleau are being neglected in favor of the offices of American banks wlore some tourists spend hours watching the fluctuation of the franc in order to selze a favorable moment to snatch a profit from its ups and downs. Paris has become somewhat of a Monte Carlo for some American visitors and playing xchange has become almost as exciting as playing the black and red on the gaming table Even women are watching exchange, some of them cheerfully abandoning sightsceing trips in the hopes of making enough profit to buy a new hat or gown. PRESIDENT OBSERVES MOTOR RUL The president of France observes all the regnlations to which motorists are subjected, Ithough a copper p on his car marking ownership is inscribed “Gaston Doumergue, Elysee Palace.” On entering a town in France the amount of gasoline in the tank must be declared and noted on a ticket which is collected when the antomobile reenters the town, and if a supply has been bought meanwhils, a city tax is col- lected. \ When the presidential tu:omobile reaches the city duty limits, it stops just like all other cars do. A footman gets.down and makes the usual declaration and receives the usual ticket. Most of the car's 40 horse power is wasted as the president’s limousine is always preceded by a little 6 horsepower in which a police serv- ant rides, whose task it is to see that the fficial car gets a free road. PLAN HIKE TO NORTH POLE Twenty French war veterans propose to reach the North Pole by the old fashioned method of boats afid dog sleds, according to Lieutenant Darcis, who is making plans for the expedition. Lieutenant Commander Byrd's flight in an aeroplane and Roald Amundsen’s in a dirigible do not interest these French plorers, who believe Admiral Peary's way only one to reach the pole. Lieutenant Darcis says the party will leave from Spitzbergen and after reaching the pol the NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1926.

Women are barred from the exploring party, although Lieutenant Darcis says he has had several applications from women for membership. NOVEL MADE INTO PLAY Victor Marguerite, has made a play out of his novel “La Garconne” (The Bachelor Maid) which is to be produced at an early date at one of the leading theaters of Paris. Thiy novel, when it appeared some four years ago, was considered so scandalously indecent that the Legion of Honor cancelled the author's membership and withdrew his right to wear the little red ribbon in his Buttonhole. The book was a best seller for months and was n so entirely forgotten that the announce- ment of the play has hardly caused a ripple. The great success of “La Prisonniere” (Th Captive Woman) which® deals with the ques- tion of woman's fascinatign for a woman and | is to be given in New York next season, has encouraged the production of a play based on Marguerite's novel, as such a play would have | been considered too daring at the time the from 18 months to two years | its rough and ready, liquor drinking ful hoofer: | Our admiration is won by the lav- sh surroundings of the Broadway | stars, and our sympathies are arous- | the cheap, boarding house at- “Th S 4y I mosphere of the small timers.

But aside from the accuracy of this con- tention, Indian war stories are the most popu lar juvenile books in Germany.
