The Prefect of Police of Paris has

Jean Damblanc a permit to throw him
self from the top of the Elffel Tower.
although Damblanc has courted suicide
scores OF times without injurious ef-
fects by jumping from the rear OF
speeding automobiles.
Damblanc is sure that he would reach
the ground safely despite the fact that
the last man who tried this spectacular
trick was picked UP In sections with
his spinal column protruding eighteen
inches from the top of his body.
Damblanc. however. declares that he
has invented an apparatus based on
the principle of a spiral which not
only overcones the disastrous effects
of gravitation but retains its stability
during the descent so that the heaviest
man is able TO float through the air
as lightly as a feather
Scores of excited Parisians gathered

In a year" Is the prophecy Of Nine. Ves-

brilliance in conversation. striking beauty
and extensive knowledge of diplomatic
affairs have made her welcome In the
highest French circles.
But this does not mean that women

stresses the fact that suffrage in Serbia
is desired only "in order to elect the
best male candidates"
I'VE have no female functionaries in
Serbia" she said I'VE have few
women in business and only few en-
ployed in factories. With us women
either work In the fields or take care OF
their homes, according TO their social
scale. The only working class women
we have are those who produce the en-
broideries or carpets which are being
sent to France and the United States in
ever increasing numbers.
1T is only recently that girls have
taken UP the study OF stenography. The
typewriter is still novelty In Serbia.
These conditions may change when
women commence to vote. but the tradi-
tions OF centuries will be hard to break
and the population seems very we'll sat

Before leaving Paris Nine vesnitch
expressed her gratitude for the American
relief work. which is still being carried
on In Serbia. Several orphanages, she
said. are already operating efficiently

progressing, show a devotion that Is in

FRENCH THINKERS
UNITE FOR MORE PAY
Intellectuals Demand Wage
Scale Equal to Members

Paris, Jan. 8.
In France, as in other countries af-
fected by the periodic labor crises, In
teligence Is not being rewarded in the
same measure as manual labor. AS a
result thousands OF French intellectuals
or brain workers have banded them
selves into a syndicate, which is the
French equivalent of trades union.
and are appealing to the Government
to assist them in obtaining better livina
conditions, salaries and recognition Of
their importance as a factor In the
nations development.
At the last session of the Academy Of
Moral and Political Sciences a formal
protest was lodged by the intellectuals
against the unreasonable difference in
wages paid to brain and muscle work.
ers. The latter class are receiving more
than three times their pre-war wages,
with unprecedented concessions in the
way of pensions, sick funds and holi-
days. On the other hand, the brain
worker is struggling along with only
about % per cent. more than his salary
of 1914, and as foodstuffs and clothing
have trebled in price, his situation Is
precarious.
Tho Syndicate OF Intellectuals has
compiled an interesting list OF compar-
isons For instance, counsellor Of the
Prefecture Of the Seine, trained for his
duties by years Of arduous study and
association with political experts, re-
ceives only 5000 francs per year. but
his office boy, frequently not more than
II years old, receives $500 francs as
his annual stipend. A departmental
chief of the Ministry of Fine Arts gets
1000 francs his crippled but unedu-
Gated watchman. working eight hours
per day, receives an additional 1900
francs per year.
School teachers pay averages about
G 1000 francs per year, while the salary
of a fully qualified high school or uni
versity professor seldom exceeds 1900
francs. As contrast. the ordinary
street sweeper's pay is 10000 francs per
year while the average pay Of manual
laborers in nearly every branch OF in
dustry enjoying syndicate scales of pay
is about $4,000 francs yearly
Just what the Government is TO do
remains doubtful. but it is certain that
Efforts will be made 70 equalize wages
TO the advantage Of the mental workers
This may be effected by general re-
duction Of the cost Of necessities, fol-
lowed by a cutting Of laborers' wages,
but while this<would appease the intel
lcctuals IL would cause a howl of pro-
test from the manual workers, and the
Government would thus find new and
even harder problem 10 solve.
