AUTOMOBILES FOR COOKS

1t is with more than passing interest that one reads in dis
patches from Minneapolis that ingenious housewives now plan to
solve the servant question by permitting cooks and maids use of
the family automobile on two afternoons a week, If the idea really
Is put into operation and proves anything like a success, those who
iostered it will be due more than an ordinary amount Of thanks
from a suffering public, though for several reasons such a thing
can hardly be called feasible or practicable in the South.
The automobile angle is but a new way in carving out a plan
age-old in England. For many years it has been the British GUS
tom once in every l. months TO have a servants ball. On the
occasion master and mistress Of the house exchange places with
the help, and this night sees butler, cook. maid and footman dine.

has encountered any great problems with servants. British but

and the supposedly entire lack of such in America, but the sue
cess Of the whole is food for thought,

only one of the points to be considered.

Miles latest Paramount-A Aircraft pic
ture, Male and Female which is to
be the attraction at the Strand theater
all this week. Sir James NJ. Barria's
famous play, 1.-THE Admirable erich
ton" forms the basis OF the story, which
relates the thrilling experience of a
superintendent English butler, Crich-
ton. A mere mental in England, Crich-
ton becomes the man Of the hour when
his masters yachting party Is wrecked
on a desert island. He rules the for
tunes of the group and wins the heart
OF his masters beautiful daughter, only
to refuse her for a little serving maid.
The sumptuousness of the English
country home, where the story opens,
contrasted with the primitive tropical
isle. the magnificent Lady Mary and
the humble servant, Tweeny, who final
ly wins Crichton's heart; Crichton. the
butler, and Crichton, the monarch, are
excellently brought out by the supreme
art of Cecil B.. De Mile. 1t Is a lavish,
realistic production throughout.

good for everybody.
But what we will not tolerate he
added, lis filth. We are not going to

Christian people of London intend to
put a stop to that sort Of thing.
Sidney Valentine, president Of the

BY authorizing the demolition Of

side the wall for city improve
ments. the French parliament has
just removed the principal obstacle
to a Greater Paris" The city Will
thus obtain the elbow room II
needs, and one of the most remark
able parks in the world. With a
width of $50 yards and a length of
25 miles, the park will completely
surround the city, adding one more
to the circular systems of improve
ments that have successfully taken
the place of disappearing walls
since the time Of Philippe Auguste
which show the growth Of the city
as rings mark that of the oak.
Americans revisiting the city ten
years hence will come upon Great
er Paris" without knowing it if they
look for the old landmarks. The
rag pickers' huts, truck gardens and
piles of refuse that made the mill
tary zone look like "Shantytown"
and gave arrivals the first warning
of approach to the city will have
disappeared to give place to the
park. In place of the massive stone
wall and deep moat in front OF IL
that marked the city limits there
will be another belt lao yards WIDE
and 81 miles long composed OF
buildings in the best French style
built according to a general plan
combining harmony and taste with
the most approved hygienic install
lations.
The demolition of the wall Will
release 1,150 acres of ground, OF
which 300 acres will be taken up 0y
new streets, boulevards, railroads
