AMERICAN LIBRARY
 OPENED IN FRANCE

PARIS. Dec. 16.-A little bit or America has just been presented to paris in the form of a new library, organized, equipped and directed ac- cording to the most modern Ameri- can methods.
 The equipment, including 5,ooo new books, was donated by tne American Committee for the DeVas- tated Regions, which will administer and direct the three French lbrar- ians for a year. After that tune the French will manage it wholly them selves. Every year two or three French women will be sent to Amer ica for library training.
 The new library, which is in Belle vile, little suburb of Paris, IS ln a modest, cheerful building, close be- side the school and an old munich nal library. With it's fresh coat of paint, indirect lighting system and plants and flowers, it makes one think of the branch or small town libraries in America. It will be run on much the same lines as those which were so successful during the war
 Paris has a municipal library in every arrondissement or ward. For the most part these collections are huddled into small, dark, dingy rooms, poorly lighted and almost al ways without reading rooms for the public. The crowds of people form lines at the entrance to wait for the books to be handed out to them, for few Frenchmen can afford to buy many books nowadays. The famous little paper-backed novels, which, be- fore the war, could be bought for twenty or twenty-five cents per vol ume, cost five or six times that price now. One must now get his literature at the municipal library, even if 1t is not up to date. The books are old and worn (but neatly mended), and there are so few copies of the newest literature that one lis often obliged to wait for the books to grow old and musty before he can read them
 "The new American library is onv av sampler. said AInbarsa&er Herrick, in his address on the open ing night. ''We hope the French people will like this sample and adopt the new methods of distribut- ing books"
 Incidentally, the adoption of American library methods in France opens new career to French wom- en, who have need of any new and pleasant employment they can find.

IRISH OPINIONS DIFFER EFFECT
 LINEN TARIFF

BELFAST, Dec. IS. The new American tariff law has not yet had any material effect upon the Belfast linen trade, according to H. L. Mo Cready of the firm of Ewart & Sons.
 "The new duties, which are double the old, do not seem to have had any adverse effect upon the local market as yet" McCready said. we are hope. full, however, that the President of the United States will modify these duties, particularly since the quanti- ties of this commodity which can be supplied by domestic manufacturers in America are very limited indeed"
 w. H. Webb, president of the Bel fast Chamber of Commerce, fears, however, that the new tariff will have an adverse effect upon the Irish linen market and he is urging campaign to obtain lower duties. "It is prob abel that the politicians-as distinct from the statesmen and economists who had to deal with the framing of the tariff had pressure applied to them by interested firms or indivld- uals," Webb said. "This is a matter ! which the Ulster merchant should not let go by default.
 .The great hope for any reduction in the future lies in the attitude o1 consumers, who may find that with the compulsory reduction of imports into the United States prIces VIII soar to such an extent as to make purchases impossible, except by very wealthy persons"

DANCE 70 STAY YOUNG,
 SAYS FAMED BALLET GIRL

LONDON, Dec. 16. Dance your way through life and forestall old age.
 Lyria Lopokova, premier danseuse of the Russian ballet, gives this ad- vice to all of her sex.
 There is no other way to keep so young and fit as dancing the lit tie sparkling dancer said It Is art and athletics at the same time '
 Lydia has gone a long way since her first and last performances in America. Some eight years ago she went to America an unknown ballet dancer with a desire to become a famous actress. She had her first opportunity as an actress with permanent stock company in Pitts field, Massachusetts, but her lack of knowledge of the language was great drawback to her and she re- turned to her dancing, to win great fame along Broadway. Then she came back to Europe with her Amer ican laurels and has steadily pushed forward until today London, at least, accepts her. as' thec srsaScst-balsat dancer in the world, and wherever and whenever she appears the theater is stormed by those who wish to admire her art.
 You ask men if would advise bali.,t dancing as career for girls, Lydia said. q say yes, providing the girl is well made, has a certain amount of talent and is determined to work hard.
 "But few people realize how hard a ballet dancers life is. She must give all of her time and energy. For years, from the age of nine. if pos sible, she must go through long and difficult training.
 "If the aspiring dancer does not love dancing for it's own sake there are many obstacles to keep her back from perfection and success. There is so much experience and tradition behind it that, in spite. of it's exnausting activity, it is in no way harmful to the female body"
