Paris. Dec. 1.-The people of Paris
spend a quarter of billion francs
yearly on theatres and motion pict-
ures, and do not care to do much
heavy thinking during the process.
Government statistics on last years

rather more than did the theatres, and
third of the total amusement re-
ceipts. Last year, however, the
theatres took first place with receipts
of 100000 francs, 100000 more
than the movies. This increase seems
tc be due largely to the fact that thea
TRIGGERS have modified their opposi-
tional attitude toward high prices Of
admission and also by a revival of
the typically light and racy play.
The government subsidized Opera,
and the Opera Comique, headed the
list with the largest receipts, each
taking in more than 100000 francs
last year, and the. Serious Coincide
Franchise did well with 5000, 900
francs, but those institutions are vir-
| tually without competition in their
field and they represent a big portion
Of the money paid for the classics.
The Folics- Bergeres, where the
big scenes always hinge OH the pre-
sentation of a group of handsome
show girls, tops the list Of theatres,
exceeding even the famous Coincide
Francaise. The next in line among
the dramatic houses is the Palais

of giving highly spiced comedies of

LEGISLATION ON
FISH AND CAME
IN NEXT SESSION
Associations Over State Want
Present Efficient Warden
Service Retained.

Fishermen and hunters will be Inc
terested in the next meeting Of the
Legislature. The Department Of Con-
servation through the Fish and Cana
Division will have some legislation to
propose and some to oppose.
1t was stated recently that a bill
would come up recommending that the
present game warden force be merged
with other officers from State depart
ments into a State police force. AL
though, perhaps, the State needs such
an organization the various fish and
game associations over the State do
not favor the disrupting of the pres
ent splendid system Of game wardens
in the past year.
The warden service of this State
under the direction of Richard Lieber
has become a real terror to the fish
pirate and game hog. Records show
that 1851 arrests and 1866 convic-
tons were made during the last year
for law violations. The division of
fish and game IS more than self sup
porting because Of the license fees.
Indiana game and fish laws are good
as those Of any other State. The inn
portant thing IS to bring about their
observance. This means strict en-
forcement by competent game war
dens. Those closely in touch with ths
situation would hate to see the servica
changed.
