| DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS Frenchmen Fear it is Going to be Very Dry Year in France. Paris, Jan. 20—The Frenchman fears it is going to be a very dry year in France. The wine crop is short. The production is oft more than one-third. There are only a ‘hundred bottles for each man, woman and child in France, and the Academy of Agricul- ture is worrying about where the rest of it is to céme from. Thers is no solution of the problem but re- striction ,says Prosper Gervais, an expert, for Ttaly and Spain likewise are rather low—in spirits. However, the quality is sald to be the best In many years. Chateau-Yquem, perhaps the best of white wines, sold in barrels, in an un- finished state, for the equivalent of $2.50 a .bottle, which presages a retail price of sev- eral times that much for the ultimate con- sumer. o CARPENTIER EARNING MONEY Georges Carpentier is learning the money difference between flirting with a world's champlonship in the ring and trying to be an actor. The record in vaudeville salaries is likely to go to the fighter, but there will be a vast gap between three million francs for being beaten up in the ring by Dempsey and about five thousand francs a night for amusing music- hall audiences, while sweating under a wig and In satin court breeches. Carpentier has so much confidence in his drawing power that he exacted one-eighth of the receipts rather than a salary, but as the house usually plays to capacity, his share is calculated at not much over 5,000 francs a night, the amount received by Mistinguett who formerly was credited with having “the most beautiful legs in the world.” GERMANS TIP GENEROUSLY German tourists scatter tips into the palms ©of Parisian servants with just as much carcless generosity as Americans, according to Garcon, the well-known French waiter. Shillings do not burn holes in an Englishman’s pockets with anything like the rapidity with which marks and dollars slip away from sightseers, ‘the waiter says. “No, I wouldn't even rank the Englishman third when it comes to tipping,” he added. “First I would put the Germans and Ameri- cans, then the rich Frenchman—who is a rare —and after him the English- REGRET LEVY'S RETIREMENT Raphael Georges Levy, the eminent French economist, who is retiring from the‘senate, is regretted by many who oppose him politically. The economist is rich. He has a fine auto- mobile, which few of the senators have. ‘Adolphe Cheron, former minister, always ad- vised newly-elected members who lived in the suburb: When the session is over always try to speak to Levy.. He will offer to take you home.” OBSERVE LAWS EASILY P The Frenchman takes much the same light- hearted attitude toward personally restrictive laws as do many other peoples. When Premier Poincare set out to save the tranc he ordered restaurants not to offer more than four meat or fish dishes to their patrons &nd limited the diner to two such dishes. For a few weeks the restaurants scratched out the balance of their long lists of meats. The waiter, when pressed, admitted the lines were gestures,” and one could have anything one wanted. Now a censored list is seldom seen and few places, even small ones, observe the limit of four. GAMBLING PROTITABLE Gambling was profitable to the French treasury in 1 , however costly it may have been to the players themselves. Receipts from the taxation of the casinos to be found in every seaside or mountain resort were 252,- 000,000 francs, or about $10,800,000. Casino profits showed a huge increase over those of 1925, totalling 380,000,000 france, as compared with 250,000,000 for that year. The Deauville casino led the list with a profit of 44,653,000 francs, about $1,786,000. LONDON== H. G. Wells Takes to Living in a Barn Once in a While. London, Jan. 29—H. G. Wells has taken to living in a barn now and then. It is a part of his playground. He may do a little writing in the old stable, too, if the notion strikes him. It is a very fine and a very old barn on the edge of a farm in Essex which has been tilled for centuries. The barn, like the land, was pretty well worn, but Mr. Wells chased out the horses and cows, put a new root on it, patched up the sides and installed electric lights and an up-to-date heating plant. In the part where they used to store the hay, the author and his friends, on rainy days, play & kind of hand-football with an inflated bladder which bounces back and forth among the ancient rafters, just as its inventor, Mr. Wells, intend- ed it'should do. PEPPY OLD MAIDS Peppy little old malds are the best office workers in the eyes of Professor Irving K. Garland, efficiency expert. The modern flap- per is scarcely 60 per cent efficlent, it is fig- ured, for one reason because she thinks so much about her clothing, her beau, and pow- dering her nose. The old maid once settled in spinsterhood is not bothered by these detalls, says Professor Garland. She has passed.the days when cloth- ing is the all important question, and in most cases has trained herself to think of other things than men, dress and pleasures after working hours. This quite naturally increases her usefulness to her appreciative employer, he says. SPORTS AND SOCIETY Sport has got so badly mixed up with society that many young society men are even wear- ing half-starched polo collars with their din- ner jackets. It's thegvar that did it! That terrible war! Nothing has been quite right since the war, so the dictators of men’s fashion megaphone from Bond and Regent streets. Purity in evening clothes is now being ad- vocated by conservative fashion creators who are trying to prevent men from departing from the good old standards of the pre-war gentle- man. Don't wear a black evening tie with a white edge. Don't wear a white evening tie with a black edge. Don't wear trousers that are too large. Don't wear an evening coat with a vel- vet collar. Don't wear socks with any color in them. Don’'t wear white walstcoats made out of fancy materials. These are some of the warnings makers for real gentlemen are issuing to prospective pur- chasers of evening attire. WAR WIDOWS ACTIVE British war widows grabbed off 4,500 bach- clors for husbands during 1926. Pensions and allowances being paid to the close of 1926, totalled 1,794,400 and included 154,000 war widows, 25,600 officers, 1,114 nurses, 563,000 children. government expenditure last year was 6,268 pounds. The pensions ministry sup- 110,000 new artificial legs, 1,160 arms, 1 eyes and 18,388 pairs of surgical boots ng the year. MISS DAY OFFICIATES Miss Edith Day, the American actress, and » members of the “Rose Marie” company officiated at the cutting of this year's Baddeley cake. Robert Baddeley, an actor of bygone days was first engaged to appear at Drury Lane theater in 1763 and was the original “Moses” in “A School for Scandal” On No- vember 19, 1794, he was about to play “Moses” when he became suddenly ill and died the fol- lowing day. Baddeley left his house in Surrey to be used as an asylum for decayed actors and “one hundred pounds three per cent con- solidated bank annuities which produce three pounds per annum to purchase a cake, wine and punch, which the ladies and gentlemen of Drury Lane theater are requested to partake of every Twelfth Night. Since his death this request has been observed annually. ==BFRLIN=—= Martin Luther’s Famous Castle Badly in Need of Repairing. Berlin, Jan. 29—The Wartburg where Mar- tin Luther in 1521 hurled his inkwell at the devil who came to taunt him while translating the Bible, is in danger of disintegrating. An organization called the “Friends ot Wartburg" with the assistance ot the federal government has been renovating portions of the 900 year old fortress and castle which overlooks the clty ot Eisenach from the height of 1,200 feet. Much remains to be done. The building, in a dingy second floor room of which Luther was given refuge and quiet to translate the Bible, is in an especially pre- carious situation. An attempt to save the fanrous frescoes in a half-exposed arcade, de- picting the life of the Holy Elizabeth, is being made by installing an electric heating appara- tus to prevent rapid changes of temperature. The Wartburg is rich in tradition and his- tory. In the great music hall of the Land- grave's palace the famous minstrels contest (Saengerkrieg) is said to have taken place in 1207, the tone poem and the event being im- mortalized partially in Wagner’s opera “Tann- hauser” and in E. T. A. Hoffmann's tale “The Battle of the Minstrels.” QUESTIONS ANSWERED You can get an answ.r to any writing to the Question Editor, New Britain Herald, Washington Bureat, 1322 New York avenue.

Who discovered the Caroline Islands, and who owns them now? A, of about 600 islets and islands in the Pacific Ocean. Yap is one of them. For administrative purposes they are divided into two groups, the Lastern and the Western, Having a total area of about 380 square miles. LESS INTEREST IN WILLIAM Interest in the fate of former Emperor Wi llam II is steadily waning in Potsdam, inquiry among those who were once active at the im perial court has revealed. Of the former Pots- dam entourage the only ones who at times continue to make pilgrimages to the former kaiser at Doorn are the two Counts von Flinck- enstein, of whom the one was formerly com mander of the Hunters' Guards, the other of | the Sharpshooters’ Guards; General von Tzir- | sky, who in peace times was commander of the Third Uhlan Guards; and General von Dom mes. Even so intimate a former friend of the Hohenzollerns as Col. Gen. von Plessen has visited Doorn but once, remaining there for three days. Other members of the entourage seem to have lost all interest in their former imperial lord. ONCE DABBLED IN ART How President von Hindenburg once dab. bled in the art of painting is told by Professor Hugo Vogel, of Berlin, who w mnissioned throughout the war to paint at army head- quarters, in his recent book, “When I Painted Hindenburg."” ! Vogel describes how in January 1918 the fleld marshal came to his studio to cxamine a number of battle scenes and war canvases. As he stood before a scene of Marienburg, Vogel relates, “he seized my palette and began to make additions with the brush. First his spurs. Then he changed the persons depleted as fleeing from the far shore of the Nogat river. ‘They are running too fast,’ the field marshal observed.” During this visit Hindenburg also criticized the color which Professor Vogel chose for the trousers of the chief's uniform in portraying the battle of Tannenberg. “He cricd ou Vogel said, “‘Why, you painted my trousers grey. You must remember that I had to leave Hanover (for the front) so fast that I didn't have time to grab my field uniform. Thus it happened that I directed the battle of Tan- nenberg wearing the black trousers of my peace time uniform. It won't do for you to paint them grey. That would be an historical untrath.” ISSUES TICKETS TO TRIAL Issuing admission tickets to his own trial was the novel method employed by Walter Schoen- ing, real estate broker, with the intention of keeping all incident sle to jeopardi nding from the business world and friends. Schoeing before his trial on a charge of fraud in the administration of estates, hired at one dollar a head a sufficient number of un- employed to wait in line and fill the courtroom in the hope of excluding all others. An inter- ested competitor in the real however, tipped off the court, and the follow- ing day two policemen were stationed at the door with instructions to clear the way for all comers. his ite business, ' NEW THEORY ABOUT EVOLUTION OF LIFE Colorado Professor Comes Out With Own Ideas Denver, Colo., Jan. 29..(UP)—All present ideals of medicine and biolo- gy will be upset if “Symbionticism,” the new theory of evolution ad- vanced by Dr. Ivan E. Wallin, pro- fessor of anatomy at the University of Colorado, proves true. Tollowing seven years of reseatch, Dr. Wallin says he has come to the conclusion that Darwin and his fol- lowers, in their theory of evolution overlooked the presence of bacteria in all living cells. Dr. Wallin de- glares he has proven to his own sat- isfaction that these bacteria grow and t it was their change in size and pe throughout the centuries which caused humans as well as plants to evolve from earller and simpler form: Dr. Wallin's theiry, if it proves ac- ceptable to the scientific world, will into the discard planation of evolution on s of the survival of the fit- and natural selection. ime alone will tell whether T em right,” Dr. Wallin said. “I have proved the theory to my own sal faction and if I am right it will revolutionize medicine and biology. Biologists in 1§90, Dr. Wallin ex plained, discovered small granules in the cclls of all animals and plants. Home believed at the time that the granules were bacteria but the idea was lated abandoned and the gran- ules come to be looked upon as in- animate condensations of cellular fluia. After a long series of experiment- ation with the granules, Dr. Wallin decided that they were at least similar to bacteria. Later experi- ments he conducted caused the granules to grow and change in shape, proving conclusively, he de- clared, that they really were bac- teri; ‘When introduced into living cells, these bacteria caused the formation, in many cases, of new tissues and organs, thus pointing to the view that men might have grown up from an original group of cells which de- veloped irito » human being through. Dr. Wallin concluded. Patents Issued to Connecticut People (List compiled weekly from the Officfal Gazette by the Office of Harold G. Manning, Walk-Over Shoe | Store, 211 Main street, New Brit- ain.)

SOVIETS CURTAIL CATHOLIC CHURGH J’Shomge of Priests Makes Cut in Parishes London, (UP).—How extensively Soviet Russia has curtailed the ac- tivities of the Catholic church is described by The Universe, a prom- inent Catholic weekly here, The hos- tile attitude of the Czars in other days created nothing worse than the conditions now prevailing, the paper states, and adds that there is only {one priest to every 3,000 Catholics |and the groups are kept too :oor to repair churches and build sem- inarie “There are no archbishops or hish- Universe says. “In 1925 the Catholic population in Russia numbering between 1,595,- 000 and 1,800,000, consisting of Poles, Germans, White Russians, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, etc. The number of priests 1s reduced to 400 for the 600 churches still in ex- istence, but they have no legal status, posses no religious freedom of action, as the Soviet Government puts the greatest obstacles in their way as to the religious education of the children and the administra- tion of the Sacraments. “No book containing the name of God is allowed, no Catechism or Catholic newspaper permitted, no foreign priest has access to the country. The training of a native The Catholic congre- gations are too poor to maintain the upkeep and repairs of the churches. “The lamentable shortage of pricsts may be gathered from the following ilems.
