LIVING MAN IS DEAD,
FRENCH RECORD SHOWS

PARIS, Nov. 21.-French red tape
has been trying TO prove to living
man that he has been dead l6 years.
Leon Madet. employed as janitor at
Paris school, was anxious to get mar
ried, and to that end applied for the
necessary birth certificate. Instead
OF that, the authorities gave him GER
tifcate showing that he died in 1892.
You cannot get away from official
records In France, so Madet had to
postpone his marriage until he had
Strengthened matters out. The au-
thorities told him that IL he wants to
prove that he Is still alive he must
produce two reputable witnesses and
certain documents. And until he does
this he cannot be married.

WIDOWED QUEEN IS

STRICT ETIQUETTE OF ROYAL
HOUSEHOLD NO LONGER OBJ
TAlNs-lTALlAN AND SPANISH
WOMEN ARE AUTO LOVERS.

PARIS, Nov. 2 There Is no more
emancipated woman in Europe today
than the widow OF King.
Once free and mistress OF her
actions she plunges headlong Into
every sport and pleasure heretofore
denied her.
II would seem that these royal ladies
we're bent upon revenge. One cannot
fail to sympathize with them to great
extent when one thinks OF their mar
rowly circumscribed lives or etiquette
and pomp and the splendor and mys'
terry Of their royal state.
How it all must have palled!
for one cannot blame them when
they tear off the mask OF artifice and
fling II away with the stuffy gown OF
velvet and ermine to don the loosely
fitting automobile coat or the trim
tailor gown.
This is Just what the charming and
well.loved Queen Margherita or italy
and the dowager queen OF spain nave

ouette OF their respective courts and
gone OH together dulolhpp''"b 49,
France like a couple OF runaway schooi
girls. And what lively time they are
having as they dash along the white
roads in an 80 horsepower car. Bravo
little queens!
These two royal ladies voyage abso-
lutely incognito. No one has the least
hint of who they may be. The utmost
simplicity marks their equipage.
Their chauffeur might be any man
hired by the day. Their cloaks and
hats are dusty and stained by the sun
and rain. They have no attendants
not even maid.
The other night an accident nap
pened to the car. IL broke down In
remote spot late at night. So they
entered a shepherds hut In quite a
democratic manner and asked for shell
