PARIS.
Paris. jan. 6.-The worlds ugar
conference. which was held at Brus-
sells, adjournment being taken to jan
ury 20, is having difficulty trying to
meet the request of Russia to be per-
mitted to increase her yearly exporta-
ton Of sugar.
Russia wishes to increase her expor-
tation by 300. 600 tons yearly. the In
t%ernational Sugar union having limit
ed the possible expectation OF each
country adhering to the conference.
The opposition to the Russian petition
came from Germany and Austria. 1t is
thought likely, however. that when the
conference convene the Russian re-
quest will be granted. although the
amount authorized may be under 300,-
GOO tons. The present International
Sugar union ceases to be In force Sep
TENDER I. 1913, but 1t is likely that the
union will be renewed for another
term; that is to say until 1918.
In Aviation.
European aviation Interest Is now
centered in the third annual interna-
tional aviation salon, which has just
been inaugurated by President Fal-
building. with its glare Of light and
beautiful decoration, setting of the 200
or more aeroplanes, offers an attractive
and picturesque spectacle.
The exhibition indicates that prog
ress and improvement in aeroplane
rapid as regards both monoplanes and
biplanes. but 1t ia generally believed
that there will be no great changes
in the general appearance OF the aero
plane in the neal future. /.
The races of the past ear caused
constructors to u their attention to
securing increased speed. This Is evil
dent by h number of speedy machines
in the exhibition. There is, however, q
strong tendency to build machines
which afford Il maximum of safety. 1t
Is also pointed out that %aeroplane pur-
c%hasers are insisting upon more COM
fort In the a%eroplane. Military con-
tracts now contain a paragraph dealing
with comfortable seats. cases in which
to carry tools and sometimes sven the
installation of a wireless telegraph
apparatus.
The general lesson of the salon is
that the. aeroplane has definitely ar
rived as a military instrument. but
that much is to be done before avia-
ton will be hailed as a popular sport.

"Sans Gene"
The most startling innovation in
the Paris theatrical world this season
is the review Sans Gene,' which has
been ~inaugurated at the Rejane theater
by Nine. Rcjane. It is now an accept
ed notion that vaudeville houses should
include short one-act plays In their
programs. but that vaudeville should
completely monopolize one of the larg-
est temples of Legitimate" art is a dis
tinct departure for the Partisan the
atrical world.
The French review is a sort Of vaude-
ville-burlesque representation of cur
rent french topics of interest or gos-
sip. Mime. ReJane assumes many roles.
She is first q janitress. blaming the
tendency OF certain newspapers to in
quire into private lives. then a ma
tive Of Auvergne, and finally q foreign
princess. in which she c~aricatures a
certain royal princess who has been
recently in the public eye.
Recipe Tor suppleness.
"A Partisan actress has caused q
great deal Of interest among the wom-
en- of France by announcing q new
recipe for q supple figure. Each morn
Ing. she says. her maid takes q news
paper, tears 1t into a thousand frag-
ments and scacters the fragments
upon the floor. The morning ex-
ercise of the mistress consists in gath
ering up the pieces one by one. These
