M—For the first time within the memory of concert goers, the musicians of the atate opera orchestra have refused to get upand share in the ovation given their director. This action was a pro- test against the new custom of ad. vertising the subscription concerts solely by the names of the conduc- tors. For over a hundred years the sub- scription concerts offered by the symphony ensemble of the Prussian cpera wera known as “Konzerte der Staats-Kapelle.” The conductor was mentioned only in & sub-line, as were also the soloists. This tradition has been discarded. The concerts now go by the names assistant over the telephone they | caused Leon Daudet, royalist leader, | to be released from prison. Night fiying, air mail service, is pianned in France, patterned after the American and German systems. | Eleven diverging lines from Paris to all parts of the country would be cut by four transverse lines.

It they can't bury his bones they insist they will inter on of his books in the building intended to be the national Mausoleum of France's great men. Finding the philosopher's bones appears to be difficult. His body ‘was brought from Stockholm, where he died in 1650, but there is doubt about where it is. During the French Revolution the Counvention ordered his burial in the Pantheon but the stale odor sticks. Tate galleries. British Peer Becomes In Paris, at present, all movie |houses and many theaters permit smoking. Fire engineers criticize the | practice here, oarticularly, because {most of the theaters are old and few have exit faclities that meet | modern scientific requirements. Neighborhood Butcher Britain’s first peer butcher has opened his shop in the butter market in Ipswich. He will specialize in pork. Lord Cranworth is owner of the | business. As he owns a farm near | Grundisburgh, Suffolk, he aims to cut out the middleman’s profit for the benefit of his customers. All produce sold in the lord's butcher | shop will be grown on the farm, and | if the business succeeds vegetables and dairy goods may be added. Other titled persons who have re- cently adopted “straight from the farm” methods with the view of eliminating the middlemen are Countess De la Warr, who personally supervises the business side of a milk business in Sussex, and Lord Hamilton of Dalzell also a dairyman. | Cars And Autobuses | { Have Huge Mileage | | Four thousand times around the | | world is the total mileage of Paris | Istreet cars and buses in a year.

It was somewhat the fashion to- day, Lord D'Abernon asserted, to be pessimistic with regard to the future of racing, but he preferred to turn | his attention to the achievements of the last 12 months which seems to presage a period of stable prosperity | on a foundation more solid and more logical than any which the breeders had hitherto enjoyed. Lord D'Abernon said the desire of | rich and powerful communities to possess the best racing horse waxed | rather than waned, and in this con- | nection he quoted Bismarck as once having said: “So long as racing re- | mains popular among the masses of | England, there will be no danger of | communism there,” |line” had been a half or a quarter of | |its size it would have sold for a great |deal more, |of the seal, however, is all that re- Art critics declare that if “Evange- The art critics here say that taste | in art changes every 25 years or so and that when a particular style is out of fashion both the good and the bad of that styles suffer equally.

Conqueror's Seal * Found After 200 Years After a disappearance lasting 200 years, the seal of William the Con- queror, which originally was attach- ed to the Charter of Liberties grant- ed to the City of London, has been found at the Guildhall. i The clerk of the records of the corporation, while examing other relics of London's hectic past, identi- fled fragments of the long-lost seal and fitted them together. The center sulted., The seal shows the conqueror rid- ing at a gallop, clad in a hauberk of chain mail worn over a tunie. In his right hand he holds a lance, from | which waves a pennon of three streamers. In his left hand he grasps a shield. On the reverse of the seal he is depicted on a backless throne, a crown on his head, in his right hand a sword and in his left a globe surmounted by a cross. The charter of liberties is very short, consisting after the greeting, only of: “And I declare to you that I will that ye be of all the laws worthy that ye were in King Ed- ward's day. And T will that every child be his father's heir after his father's day and I will not suffer that any man offer you any wrong, God keep you."

Stolidly the mu- sicians remained in their seats, As one of them afterward put it, “We want to preserve at least a remnant of our selt respect.” Individaal Tastes Rule German Shops Neither five and ten cent stores nor the American method of ghop- ping by aelections from catalogues, are likely to become popular in Ger- many, says Demokratischer Zeit- ungsdienst. The average German customer, says the democratit news service, is decidedly individual in his tastes. He takes great pride in buying some- thing not owned by the butcher, baker or candle-stick maker and is all too ready to criticise a depart- ment store displaying standardized articles for “not carrying a sufficient assortment of goods.” As most German customers also insist on scelng and personally test- ing an article before buying they do not take kindly to the American method of “shopping by mail."” It is pointed out, these peculiari- ties of “his Majesty the customer,” oblige German department stores and leading shops to carry uch. larger stock than would be neces- sary if American oconditions pre. trade expert, estimates the value of assorted stock stored in wareho.ses in Germany the year around at be- tween six and eight billion marka, Carl F.

P No sooner had the papers reported his spcech, than hundreds of pe- ‘quests for advice poured im upon him. “How can I get to America?" “Can you tell me anything about my son who left for America last year?" “Won't you help me get a position with an American University?" There were some of the typical re- quests. “I find that America is still the promised land for many Germans, ' Schreiber observed to the Assoclated Press. “They seem to think it i the job for them. I might as well open up an employment office, he hu- morously added. Then, becoming serious, “America could well be proud of many of the earnest, indus- trious Germana who'd like to be. come American citizens.” Music In Plenty Found To Snit Varied Tastes Julian Fuhs, who {is frequently called the Paul Whiteman of Ger- many, fails to see why adherents to classical music should get excited about the spread of jazs. “There's no reason in the world vhy the two should not live peace- Which Means an Immediate in Values New Low Prices Reductions - $455 5170 535 90 585 140 485 525 170 adopted by other light car manufacturers—amazing economy, high speed and pick-up, big four-wheel brakes, increased roominess, low centor of gravity and more attractive lines.
