COCKTAILS REPLACE COFFEE
Drinking Is More Popular Than
Flowers Among Parisians.

BY JOHN De CANDT
United Press STAFF CorrespOndent.I
PARIS. May 20-The midinettes of
Paris have jus, launched an offensive in
favor of cheap cocktails, to replace the
daily afier-lunch coffee.
1t is a fact that cocktail drinking is
becoming more and more popular among
the feminine staffs of the ateliers in the
Rue de la Paix. Opera and Madeleine
quarters. 1t is quite sight TO watch
every day at the noon hour, parties Of
invade the bars and demand
their one-franc cocktail.
These one-franc cocktails don't taste
bad for anyone who does not know what
4 cocktail is. the majority Of Paris mid
ine;ies don't know. and they are per-
fecily satisfied with the imitation Of
Martini which they proudly drink.
OF course. although such mixture costs
one-fourth of what real cocktail is sold
in Paris. il still means To the midineiies
more than they used To be charged for
their after-lunch coffee. and this is the
reason why. in order to balance their
daily budget. they have decided TO dis
pcnse with the flowers they used TO buy
almost every day.
While bartenders are rejoicing. flower
merchants curse, because they are losing
\ ohoT CHARMING clientele
How long this craze will last. nobody
knows. Despite the fame of cheap cock.
tails, Paris midineites will soon feel sad
without flowers pinned on their blouses.

These motions take place in all

which many stars appear to be

like chips on a tide. Certain more

w. L. B., Boston"
" HE sole reason why the stars
appear to retain their rela-
tive positions unchanged. not
withstanding their own motions
and the motion Of the earth from
which we view them. is that their
distances from the earth are so
great that the shifting Of their
places produced by these motions
remains imperceptible, except
when observed with telescopes
furnished with delicate apparatus
for detecting very slight altera-
tions of direction.
This seems the more astonishing
when we reflect that in the course
of a year the earth. simply by its
revolution around the sun, shifts
its place about 1s6,o00,0o0 miles;
yet to ordinary observation no ef-
feet on the position Of any star is
produced by so vast a change In
the position Of the observer.
Studied with astronomical in
struments, however, the stars do
appear to move in consequence of
the motion Of the earth. This par
ticular motion, or apparent mo-
ton, they all share together. 1t is
called the annual parallax" of the
stars. 1t may be illustrated by the
shifting OF the directions Of OBJ
jects on land as seen from a NOV
ing ship.
The amount Of the shifting.
or the parallax, varies with the
distance of the object, being less
as the distance is greater and vice
versa. But in no case does II
amount to so much as a single
