England Discusses Horse
Meat; Better Cuts in
Paris Double in Price

Paris.-England is beginning to
talk about eating horsehesh as an
unpleasant but possible eventuality
of the future. In France there has
never been the same prejudice
against horse meat and the horse
has been a recognized and much-used
article of diet among the less
wealthy. Horse steak, finely minced,
is widely prescribed by French ply
sicians, to be eaten raw as a tonic
by weak persons and sickly children.
In Paris and its suburbs there are
about 1000 butcher shops where only
horse meat is sold, and their average
trade is four or five horses a week.
They sell nothing but horse meat,
because the law forbids the sale ex-
cept in special shops. But they do
not hide shamefacedly up back
streets. There are several within a
stones throw of the Madeleine, and
a half-dozen within easy shopping
distance of the American embassy.
The Paris horse butcher is so lit
tie ashamed of his calling that he
paints his shop brilliant red and
puts a gilded horses head outside as
sign. All his meat comes from
special hcrse slaughter house at
Vaurigard. where the butchering is
conducted under rigid municipal su-
pervision.
1t is a mistake. according to Paris
experts, to suppose that the younger
the horse the better the meat. The
reverse is said to be true-at least.
horses s years old and upward are
preferred, and below that age the
meat is said to be tough and un-
favored.
The price of the best cuts of horse
meat in Paris is at present from IS
cents to so cents pound, having
doubled since the war.

Tageblatt Tells of Shrewd

Paris.-If some of my conferees
stationed here were able to read
German, know of a way for them
not only to pass the time quite
profitably, but also Interestingly, as
far as their home papers are con-
cerned. What 1 refer to is the ap-
preciable accommodations at their
disposal at the Journalist Chamber,
in the Quai d'Orsay offices, or i'm
other words, in the waiting-room for
newspapermen who are there to see
one of the high officials or depart
ment chiefs in the interest of their
publications. There are numbers of
German papers at hand that come
either directly or via Holland, Swed-
en- or other Scandinavian countries,
and they contain matter which many
an American publisher would like to
possess. Yet here are these journals,
pregnant often with very important

Motorcars Boost
Church Attendance

Membership in Methodist churches
had the largest increase in their
history during the last year, while
the number of church edifices de-
creased. The change is attributed by
the official statistician of the Meth
odist church to the use of automo-
biles.
almost every family in the mid
die west owns an automobile" he
says in his annual report. 'It is as
easy to go five or ten niles to church
as it used to be to drive half
mile. A large number of persons
meet together there is more enthu-
siasm, better business. better preach
ing and larger social life. The ef-
feet is to shut the door of the white
Westinghouse on the hill just as it
is to close the door of the red
schoolhouse at the crossroads"
