Paris, Jan. 15—A blood ‘test is the really modern way to determine whether a stagger- ing gentlemaf is really drunk. Striking proof that this is more certain than the old time police method of making a suspect walk a chalk line has been accepted by the Paris [courls. 1t is true that the experiment in this case | was on a dead man, but chemists say the meth- 1 od will work as well on a live one. A motor- ist ran into a pedestrian who staggered into | the car's right of way. The man was Kkilled. There ere no eye witnesses, but the driver demanded an autopsy Leon Bonn, an expert chemist attached to the courts, analyzed the victim’s blood and | founc cohol in sufficient quantity to indicate the man had drunk about four quarts of wine | of ten per cent alcoholic content. That made four-fifths of a pint of pure alcohol, which, \e judges agreed, was enough to make the | hardest drinker disregard traffic regulations.

Louis Ba ster of Justice, has learned by long experience in many cabinets t listen o speeches is sometimes a bore 1 not a onvenient. He has discovered ’ nquet that dragged, the speeches had not yet begun at a time when Barthou had an appointment he really wished to Someone began the toasts by proposing th health of the president of the republic. Barthou, a quick thinker, jumped to his fecty “Drink it standing,” he shouted. Everyono 1 to so honor M. Doumergue.

Foreign Minister Briand, watch- ing him, shook his finger at him and the next | day leaned over him at the cabinet meeting | and said, “Pig.” NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1927, After Trans-Atlantic Telepfiony, Tele- paphy is Next Thing Expected. London, Jan. 15—After trans-Atlantic telephone service and television, will come telepathy, which will do away with “lip-wag- ging, breath-puffing antics” now essentlal to transmission of our thoughts, is the predic- tion of Professor A. M. Low, British scientist. “Wireless is developing human senses at such a rate that it is preparing the way for telepathy,” Professor Low contends. “As it is, we are not content to receive an impression by mfan’s senses alone. We don't judge our friends by what they say, but by their looks, ir touch, ‘their smell and other senses of which we have no more knowledge than had ancient Egyptians of the X-ray or milk bac- teria. BIBLE MARVELS, Bible marvels are receiving growing sup- port from science, says Sir Oliver Lodge, the noted physicist, and the progress of science is tending to strengthen theology In all its vital aspects. “Certain Bible occurrences,” he says, “have been doubted, such as the direct voice of the Baptism; the presence of the Trans- figuration, Saul's vision on the road to Damas- cus. All these things sclence is beginning to show were true happenings. I look forward to the time when incarnation will be rationally recognized as both a Divine and human fact.” ETON CROPS WILL LAST. The Eton crop will last perhaps for an- other two years, but M. Emile, hair dressing expert, belleves a reversion to long hair will certainly will come within the next three. Lecturing before a group of hair-dressers, he expressed the opinion that a return to long hair would bring longer skirts, basing his ar- gument on theytheory that women's hair dressing styles run in cycles, and short hair periods generally average about ten years. LAPSE OF 229 YEARS. After a lapse of 229 years an ancient legal dinner was revived here when the Benchers of Lincoin’s Inn entertained the Benchers of Middle Temple. In the records of Lincoln's Inn there are entries referring to this dinner as far back as 1 King George, as Senfor Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn, was one of the invited guests. In 1679 the dinner was abandoned bes cause of a fire in Pump Court. The river Thames was frozen over, water was hard to obtain, and it is recorded that the fire engines of the time played away many barrels of beer. < OAK TREES ATTACKED. Britain’s oak trees, whose praises have been sung by bards for hundreds of years, are being attacked by a mysterious epidemic which is being investigated by research workers on the Forestry Commission. An assistant of the Commission says mil- dew and rover moth are responsible for the disease which has psread over the southern counties and killed many of the oldest odks. Fears are expressed that the finest oaks plant- ed in the seventeenth century will be wiped out in another twenty ars. Many young trees are being planted by the commission, as it is pointed. out that an oak plantation takes so long in coming to maturity that private enter- prises cannot make it e commercial proposi- tion. The British oak is therefore becoming nationalized ‘““ONLY THE TIMES.

Berlin, Jan. 15—A cry f0r a new Messiah to inculcate the German people “with a rell- glon based on true German ideals” is raised by a group of Nationalist and Monarchist lead- | ers. *The Christian God whom we h_fl.\'e ‘Wor- shipped has deserted us and gone ovér to our enemies,” one manifesto says. The Deutsche Zeitung, one of the chiet nationalist dail- jes in the country, published another appeal which read in part as follows: “Away with everything which is foreign and repellent to the German mind! We must purge our religion of all foreign heroes. No longer must our children be taught to respect Abraham. Jacob, who defrauded his father and brother and was rewarded with riches, and David who slew Gollath at a safe distance instead of in honorable combat, are not red- blooded men in the Germanic sense. Our re- ligion in the future must be German in lan- guage and character. To which the Sociallst daily, Vorwaerts, replies: “The German herocs which the Mon- archists presumably would have us worship are the murderers of Erzberger and Rathenau and the chieftains of the Black Reichswehr who killed a score of Republican sympa- thizers.” NO MORE COLD FEET There will be no more cold feet for Berlin tratfic cops this winter if a system of artificial hot water bags at street intersections finds general adoption. The scheme consists of in- stalling electric heating devices in the heavy glass-incased safety islands upon which cops stand during the day and which are illuminat- | ed from the inside with red lights at night. | Traffic officers at the few intersections where the device is in use are pleased with the idea, They say it is like standing on top of a warm stove. FRIEND OF EX-KAISER e Col. Leopold von Kleist, who takes office this month as administrator general of the House of Hohenzollern in Berlin, has long been the most intimate friend and confidant of the former Kaiser. His appointment is taken as evidence of William's policy of continuing to reward his staunch adherents despite the loss of his throne. Col. von Klelst was made aide-de-camp to the Kaiser in 1909, During the war he was commander of the gardes du corps and was | decorated for vallant service. Through little | seen about the exile villa at Doorn, until re- cently, it is believed he has been in the former Kaiser's service since the war. He succeeds Friedrich von Berg, who ls reported to have resigned because of William's | dissatisfaction with the indemnification settle- ment with the State of Prussia in which the Hohenzollerns received $25,000,000 in cash and property. NEW PUN INVENTED Award of the Nobel peace prize to Forelgn | Minister Gustay Stresemann has led one of | the wags in the diplomatic set to invent a pun which he tried out for the first time at | the recent ball of the Tuarklish club. Meeting another diplomat he said, “I un- | derstand diplomatic etlquette now demands | that we address the Foreign Minister's wife | as Frau von Stresemann instead of simply | Frau Stresemann. | “Why,” inquired the diplomatic colleague. “My dear fellow,” the alleged humorist replied, “haven't you read that Dr. Stresemann has been en-Nobeled ?” USES NOVEL METHOD Marc Roland, a Berlin theater orchestra conductor, has solved in a novel way the prob- | lem of keeping in contact with singers on the | stage despite the din of the orchestra about | him. He had a microphone installed on the | stage connected with earphones which he wears clamped over his head. This ¢:1ables him to hear the singers better and thus follow them with greater precision than is ordinarily pos- sible from the orchestra pit. |we didn’t remain for any length of time, || Through the Static WCSH, Portland, with fair volume and a quartet of- fered several “The Blue Room,” “Baby Face"” and “Somewhere.” To tell the truth, we SH would have fared bet- ter if it had remained where it used to be, down on abouts.

It didn't OUR SCHOOLS | “If at PRIVATE CLASS IN SCHOOL DEBARRED Bordiere Refused Use of Room to Teach Italian Considerable opposition was volc- ed by members of the school com- mittee at the January meeting in the school department office yestr- day afternoon when the matter of allowing James Bordiere the use of one of the rooms at the Central Junior High school for a class in the Itallan language. A vote was taken and only one member voted in favor. According to his letter the class has been conducted at the Y. M. C. A. and he felt that since it was a step in the way of education the school department might look upon his request with favor. He said the class would meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings. After the communication was read, Committeeman Joseph M. Hal- Joran who was acting chairman in place of Chairfhan P. F. King asked Supt. Holmes to give his opinion. Mr. Holmes explained that a similar situation arose before when an Armenian organization wanted a class room for the purpose of teach- ing the language but the board felt that since the purpose of American achool should be to teach English as much as possible it voted against the move. “Didn't we agree to allow edu- cational organizations the privilege of the school building evenings if the groups were organized at our Sep- tember or October meetings,” Mrs. Kimball asked. Supt. Holmes explained that the man in charge was conducting a class for which he collected a fee. After Mrs. Kimball asked if there would be objection if there were no fee, Committeeman LeWitt said he d1d not believe dhat a person should conduct a private enterprise with the use of public property. At this point Committeeman Wil- liam H. Day, said languages hold an important place in education and if it were not for this fact that the person Is probably making a private gain on the . proposition he would vote in favor of it. He felt that the committee should mot try to stop anything that would be beneficial educationally. Mrs. Kimball asked Secretary Burr to read that part of the October or September minutes which told of the “open door policy.” According to the minutes the policy was to al- low self supporting educational groups to enjoy the privileges of the schools during the evening “This is just a request of a gentleman who wished to use one of our rooms to make money. I move that the request be rejected,” the secretary declared. On the motion all the members with the exception of Mrs. Kimball voted against grant- ing the request. Besides conducting a barber shop, Mr. Bordiere goes to the Senior High school half days to learn the Eng- lish language. JOINS ALBRO’S FORCE Mr. Gordon Johnson and John W. Connelly have joined the sales force of the Albro Motor Sales Co., the local Studebaker distributor.
