RESTAURANTS IN FRANGE COMPLAIN Gosmopolitan Eaters Are Going Out of Style Paris, July 7 (®—French restau- t keepers complain that cosmo- politan eaters are going out of style. For proof they point to the gro ing number of catsup and Wor- cestershire suuce bottles to be found on high priced dining tables [in Paris. Americans demand |abroad the same things they eat at home, they say. Corned beef hash and chicken | Maryland are in the ascendancy in | Paris and filet of sole with special sances is on the decline. At one of the most expensive restaurants {Irish stew appears frequently on the menu and is one of the recog- nized specialities of the house, Hot-cakes are another cause for | discontent. The Americans flock |to the places where they can get them. One of the flourishing res- taurants de luxe, a newcomer since the war, made its reputation on | hot cakes and sausages. Sitting up at a bar to eat is an- other American habit which the French restaurant keepers deplore. It leads to the sandwich habit, which the Frenchman has not ac- quired, and does away with the | offices of a waiter, a large and fm- portant profession in France. Also it threatens the old tradition of the two hour lunch. Nevertheless counter lunches business in Paris, The dining vocabulary of the American abroad becomes more restricted yearly, says the proprie- tor of one of the famous eating places on the Boulevards.

Have Good Sleep Today Commander Byrd and the other members of the crew of the trans- Atlantic monoplane America had their first long unbroken morning's today since their arrival in | sleep Paris. They did not get out until nearly It was then that the formal affairs of the day began with a re- ception by Fernand Bouisson, presi- | dent of the chamber of deputies, who met them at his private cham- bers in the presidency and con- gratulated them upon their flight. A crowd from the aristocratic St. Germain Quarter awaited the com- mander and his companions in front of the residence of the president of the chamber when they arrived there to be received by M. Bouisson. There were a few discreet bravos as their car drove into the courtyard. Recelving the aviators in the su-| perbly decorated president’s room, M. Bouisson told them how closely he had watched their flight and how greatly he admired their courage in the face of stupendous odds. “I am sure,” he said, “that the traditional friendly relations of the two peoples have been further cemented by this feat.” Replies To President Commander Byrd, with Charge D'Affaires Sheldon Whitehouse act- ing as interpreter, told the presi-| dent: “From the very beginning of my talk with Rodman Wanamaker about the flight, we had in mind the good such a flight might do for the relations hetween France and the United States. We are sure that, while many people say nothing was needed to help those relations, some good has been accomplished by the flight.” The aviators twice again faced batteries of cameras, in front of the chamber presidency, and later in the garden. TIn the latter place the mo- tion picture men especlally were given the best opportunity they have had thus far of filming the famous “America’s” crew. Confers With Brix Commander Byrd, yesterd: con- ferred with Lieutenant L. Brix, who will be navigator on the flight from Paris to New York which Maurice Drouin hopes to start with- in fifteen days. The commander demonstrated the valuable nature of his great flight by the advice it enabled him to give| the French fliers. He urged them {to make every possible use of him.{ He was obliged to return to New York next week, he said, but he sug- ! gested that Lieutenant Brix cable him for anything he wanted right up to the time of his departure. Every possible point was gone over during the conference, even the advisability of choosing the south- ern route by way of the Azores. One thing on which Commander Byrd insisted says L’Auto, was the ad- vantage of flying low. “At a low altitude,” he told his caller, “you will find the most pro- pitious atmospheric conditions.” Attend Gala Ball The last affair on the varied and extended program that kept Com- mander Byrd and his three com- panfons busy through Wednesday. | was a ball given in their honor by the International League of Aviators. At this function the commander wore a service ribbon on which was attached the officer's rosette of the | Legion of Honor, Premier Poincare having bestowed the decoration on him when he called at the ministry of finance yesterday morning. The medal of the Intcrnational League of Aviators was presented to him before the ball began. Said Lecointe, the noted French airman, commenting on the gift of Charles A. Levine of 100,000 francs for an aviators' clubhouse at Le Bourget airdrome said: “These Americans are really the ‘types chic.’ Clifford Harmon pro- vides the aviators of the world with ! a clubhouse in the Boils De Bou- logne. Lindbergh gives his 150,000 francs gift to the families of avia- tors. Then Americans in Paris and | the United States raise 2.000,000 francs for the Nungesser and Coli families. “Now M. Levine is going to pro- vide a clubhouse at Le Bourget for | the men who arrive and leave there every day in regular commercial flights to all parts of Europe. Yes, Americans are real fellows.” Health Ts Good Coming through one of the most trying ordeals in aviation history “miraculously Commander Byrd and his comrades now are in excel- lent spirits and arc enjoying their stay in France immensely, Dr. Wil- liam & Bainbridge, the physician who has attended them ever since their arrival, said in a statement to- After explaining the need for ing reports as to the fliers' For Itching Skin Use Zemo, the Clean, Healing Liquid There is one dependable for itching torture, that inscs and soothes the skin, After first application of Zemo, you 1 find t Pimples, Blackheads, tehes, Ringworm and similar skin irpftations begin to disappear. mo <hes most skin irrita- makes the skin soft, clear and Fasy to apply at any time. druggists—60c and $1.00. safe reatment cle ne althy all At physical condition, continued: “Commander Byrd and his three fliers came through miraculously. No serious injuries were suffered— all had muiltiple contusions and some shock. Acosta suffered a fracture of the outer end of the right collarbone, and Noville a sprain of the right knee. They are in excellent spirits and are enjoying their stay in Europe immenselyy. “While all filers try to prepare| themselves for such a flight by| careful attention to the rules of health, it was impossible in this in- stance to do what would be wlleK and what they would have liked. | For nearly three weeks they were kept under constant strain by watching for weather conditions, | being up very frequently the greater part of the night and disturbed in the daytime by multitudes of visi- tors. “These three wecks of strain, ir-| regular life and lack of sleep badly | prepared them for the terrific | struggle which was to come. They look back upon that preliminary waiting as being as hard as any part of their flight. “The overwhelming reception which has been theirs since their | arrival in France has given them | practically no time for rest, but the | outpouring of good feeling, the stimulation of the enthusiastic re- ceptions, the evident fraternity and the opportunity to serve internation- al understanding have buoyed them up. “After Sunday they will begin, it is hoped, to recoup both in nerve and body, which have been g0 severely strained but which proved adequate to this wonderful experi- ence. “From the moment of their ar- rival until now, the physician in charge has been keenly alert for the | slightest evidence which would lead to termination of these festivities and tg an enforced rest. Happlly, it has been possible to allow.them to go through it all.” Dr. Bainbridge referred to Com- | mander Byrd and his comrades as men who could be called typical of America, with its mixture of races. The Talking Movies Commander Byrd had another ex- | periece with the “talking movie: after his return from the chamber. | He posed accommodatingly for the | operator, at the same time making a | little speech into the microphone | concerning the flight. The second cngagement of the da for the America’s crew was wit: Maurice Bokanowski, French cabi- | net minister who tendered them a | luncheon at 1 p. m. They arrived | somewhat late, but the French | guests were later. When Commader Byrd appeared, there was no one| below the second floor of the| ministry of commerce. | Besides the America's crew, the guests at the luncheon included Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine; Sheldon White- house, American Charge D’Affaires; Captain White, naval attache; H. Adams Gibbons, representative of Rodman Wanamaker, sponsor of the America’s flight, and their wives. Declines to Comment. When Commander Byrd's atten- tion was called today to a dispatch from New York saying that Secre- tary Wilbur opposed, for the time | being. plans tor a south polar flight, he asked to be excused from mak- the statement ing any comment. The French press, commenting on the dispatch, takes the viewpoint that the reported opposition of the secretary of the navy means aban- donment of the flight, the secretary being Comumander Byrd's superior officer. Secretary Wilbur said last Satur- day he considered that a flight around the equator would be of more value than Commander Byrd's proposed south pole flight. It was a chatty lunch without other formalitics than the toast pro- posed by M. Bokanowski which was drunk to the health of crews of the America and Columbia. After coffee, the guests went into the beautiful garden of the ministry of commerce where photographers and motion picture operators made additions to their already large stock of plates and reels. Telephone girls from the Central station crowded the windows and cheered the aviators. Drawing from M. Bokanowski the remark, “Mean- while the poor telephone subscribers must be waiting for a good many communications.” ‘Wilbur Not, Opposed Washington, July 7.—(P—Secre- tary Wilbur sees no objection to the proposed South Pole flight of Com- mander Richard E. Byrd. Furthermare, he believes such an expedition although extremely hazardous, would result in the gath- ering of valuable data about condl-, tions in the antarctic. The secretary made his position clear today because of misleading dispatches cabled abroad that, as Byrd’s superior officer, he had voiced opposition to the polar trip. “I hate to see Commander Byrd risk his life,” the secretary said to- day on his return from a four day cruise down the Potomac, “but if he proposes to go to the South Pole, the navy would interpose no objectiol Commander Byrd, although a re- tired naval officer, is on leave from active duty, and therefore still is subject to orders of the navy de- partment. Mr. Wilbur pointed out that with airships now available with a cruis- ing radius of from 2,400 to 4,000 miles, it would be entirely practi- cable for Byrd to fly clear across the South Pole and take photographs that undoubtedly would add valuable contributions to the scientific knowl- edge already obtained from Byrd's | North Pole journey and the subs quent transatlantic hops. Last week Mr. Wilbur in discus- sing the proposed South Pole expedition, expressed belief that a | flight by air around the earth's equator would be more productive of scientific information. At that time he said that the ad- visability of such a flight around the earth’s circumference had been recommended to him and that he was giving it consideration. The secretary, however, did not disclose the source of the recommendation nor did he indicate that it had ad- vanced beyond an embryo stage.

Mr. Lowell returned because of his health from a two years spent in mining work on an American concession in French New Guinea. Yesterday he became dangerously ill and a coast guard patrol boat at- tempted to reach the vessel and take him off. The patrol boat miss- cd the ship in the night. Early this morning, a quarantine station boat rushed the dying man ashore.

SPEECH DEFECTS ARE UNNECESSARY Teachers Believe Many Faults Could Be Corrected Seattle, Wash., July 7 (P—The climination of the social and voca. tional handicap of speech defects through special corrective training in the public schools was urged by Miss Alice Liljegren today at the conference of Corrective Speech Teachers of the National Educa- ticnal association. Miss Liljegren supervisor of speech correction in the public schools of Omaha, Nebraska. “Statistics indicate that there are half a million children in our schools who have speech defects, she said. “The speech defect handi. cap is largely unnecessary. Euro- pean schools have demonstrated that over 90 per cent of all defect cases are curable, our own experience in the Omaha schools verifies this statement. “The only remedy for speech de- fects is reeducation in speech habits, therefore, the correction of speech defects is an educational problem. “Vocationally the speech defective is barred from many of the profes- sions and frbm many forms of busi- ness, His efficiency is lowered in any | cccupation.
