some doubt whether this practice
would be profitable.
Comment on Night Life.
Parisians have during more than
nve years acquired the habit of retir-
ing early. and walters are quite salts
ned to have them continue this prac-
tice. as the night life of Paris does
not yield the same revenue that IL
eight-hour law complicates the situa-
ton by requiring restaurants and
cafes to engage additional help. Only
on the boulevards, where establish
ments are supported by foreigners, do
proprietors incline to insist upon
keeping open until late at night.
Further comment on the resumption
of diplomatic relations between
France and Germany was provoked
BY the publication OF the presidential
decree this morning. Paul Dutasta,
who acted as secretary of the peace
conference. is still one Of the most
prominent men mentioned as the
probable ambassador to Berlin. The
well Informed Echo de Paris says it
had confirmation of the report that
he has been selected for the post, and
that it ia expected ene German gov
ernment VIII at once be asked to ap-
prove his nomination.

SAILORS STILL
 ARE SUPERSTITIOUS
By Associated Press

London, Gebruary 5.--The British sail orman apparently is as supersttious as ever and two stories of the navy have found their way into the columns of the Daily Mail.
 According to one of these tales an of icer of naval vessel became mentally unbalanced in the war and committed suicide under tragic circumstances, after escaping from his cabin. Not long after ward the sentries on board began to complain that someone was dogging their footsteps as they paced up and down in the night watches. They declared that they could feel presence, but on turn ing around could see no one. Eventually the sentrles had to be sent on duty in pairs, as solitary sentry sometimes would desert his post in terror. The ghost" is probably laid, as it's ship was sunk in the Dardenelies.
 Another case was that of a haunted cabin The officer assigned to it was missing and 1t was presumed that he was washed overheard by accident An other officer was allotted the cabin. and one night he aroused the ship by shouts. A number of officers and men rushed

leggings were too small for him. We had pleasant meal, including the Tim burger and other cheeses. Following this, short snappy business meeting was held, voting two new members into the troop and then the hunt began. The hunt was a failure as we only caught one-frog, but we had swell tlne- Doc" tested our Scout law, "A scout IS brave" on the way home. He hid and grunted like wild animal or something. This took immediate effect as no one waited to see what they were running from. Fatty Barclay said, We all took to our feet and we sure do appre- ciate having them" The troop got credit for 25o miles on the trip to California
 Troop 11-Ensley, Rock creek hike Feb ruary 15 1919.
 Mir. Kelley, assistant scoutmaster, was accompanied on hike Saturday after noon by Messrs. Matzitz, McArdle, Rog- CTS, Thornhill and Waters The party left Ensley about 3:3O in MT. Kelley's anto and progressed down Avenue E to- ward Rock creek, talking and singing. Everyone seemed to sing except MT
 Ardle, who never has been known to experiment with his musical organs. sud denly a tire blew out which added music to our song Twenty minutes was re- ouired to repair the tire. After passing through Rutledge Springs and Dolomfte' swimming a mudhole and taking the wrong road, we arrived at Rock creek. Immediately they scaled the mountain side and went to the rockworn cave at it's summit After sweeping the cave floor and building a fire at it's entrance, Messrs. McArdle and Rogers were ln- volved in hot debate, MT. McArdie dls-
 cussing and defending the uplift ana
 downfall of his black brother and MT Rogers defending the southern gentle man. While the debate was in full sway,
 a cry was heard. a cry of desoiation Arriving at the foot of the hill, they found MT. Kelly's car in critical con. dltion, stuck in the mud at the foot or the hill. After couple of hours Of grunting, pulling and pushing without success, Messers McArdle and Matzltz were sent after mules to pull out the Ford Later they returned unsuccessful Messers. Waters and Rogers were then requested to scale the mountain side and return with the wraps which the party | had left at the cave. They fulfilled this request, seeing ghosts, goblins and every | real and imaginary being in existence m the rolling hillside in the blindlng
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-09

In London, I regret to say the joy of the dance is greatly marred by the extra
 ordinary antics indulged in by the dan
 cers. They seem to think it necessary to
 indulge in the most amazing contortions
 and leaps and bounds and shoulder wrig-
 gling, and hip wiggling. This series of
 grotesque exercises they call "The Jazz"
 I have tried with almost pathetic earnest
 ness to explain that never during my re-
 cent visit. to New York had I ever seen
 such "goings on'' indulged in on dancing
 floor. Exactly why they do this sort of
 thing, cannot imagine, for it certainly
 is neither pretty nor elegant. However,
 they insist that it is "American,' and it
 is not until they see real Americans dance
 it that they admit that their style is not
 quite similar to that which was born in
 the land of ragtime.
 I was talking recently to an Australian
 woman, who has been in London only
 since the war, and therefore has had no
 experience of this city asSit was prfor
 U 1914. To my great surprise l found
 that while she liked London as dwell
 ing place, she highly disapproved of it's methods Of life, and considered that Lon
 don expenditure, thoughts, actions and words are all on such an extravagant scale that the visitor from the colonies becomes bewildered and rather frightened. "At the present moment. she said, II read in the newspapers of fearful labor disturbances, and strikes; yet talking to friends in the west end of London, un- derstand that very few people who hold
 any sort of position in society Will be
 cortent this spring and summer unless ttey possess a private aeroplane. l have heard plans made by women for flying dresses and eccetras in the way of furs and fittings, that run up into hundreds of pounds. while another form of money madness in London life is the gambling craze among women, especially in May fair They go out to dinners, and evening parties and win and lose large sums Of
