PARISIANS AGITATED
 BY A NEW QUESTION

Paris, December 1O.-Whether 4 man should offer his right or left arm to a women Is agitating Paris ians. A decision by Andre de Fou- quieres. the accepted arbiter of so- cial customs. has not settled the question.
 He said, always the right arm, in- doors," a custom surviving from the days when all gentlemen carried swords and wanted to be quick on the draw. Outdoors. he said, no man ever offers his arm to a woman "ex- cept in cases of danger" which tha newspapers hold is the normal con- dition in Paris streets.
 Therefore. regardless of good form those debating the matter generally agree that a man should take hold of woman's right arm with his left hand. instead of offering his right arm, because the women consulted said they intended continuing to carry their purse, parasol, packages, etc., in their left hand. And the men insisted 8 cane belonged in the right hand.

ATOM CONSTRUCTED LKE CLOCK

By Science Service.
 London.-Sir Joseph Larmor has suggested that an atom may be ana logous to a clock. The outer electron system of the atom, on which its chemical and speetroscopic properties depend, and which has certain defi- nite rates of oscillation. would corre- spond to the pendulum, or better, to compound pendular system of a clock, he says. The inner core of the atom is similar to the spring of clock, which, by means of the escapement. slowly inparts its energy to the pen dulum in a jerky fashion.
