sons of title are engaged in the busi- ness of introducing visiting Amer1- cans into gambling circles.
 There are some Yolice court mag Astrates who have a keen eye out for visiting Americans also. Unfortun- ately some Americans upon arrival are unable to restrain their desires to investigate the liquor possi abilities of London, and they wake up in the tolls of the law.
 The police station arrangements are made most comfortable for these Americans, and the result is that it generally costs the unfortunate sev- era1 dollars in tips before he reaches court. He is certain to be approa ch- ed by the officer who arrested him.. who explains that he did it as a matter of protection to save the American from the clutches of thugs and bandits, and the American has to tip the 'bobby'' who placed him in the "hoosegow.''
 When the unfortunate is arraigned d and faces the magistrate, if he pleads guilty, he generally gets a fine of twenty shil1ings, while the English offender feels he is outraged if he is fined more than eight shillings. The London press never misses an oppor- tunity to give publicity to the Amer tolls of the law, and London alto gether has a great time laughing at the thirsty Americans

He is particular to point out, however, that the organization has nothing of the reminiscent" about it, unless such characterization could be given to the desire to re- tain and pass on some of the military knowledge gained as result of the war. It Is not good-fellowship or ganization, formed primarily for the preservation of the spirit of conrade- ship among veterans who fought to- gether, but it's aims are to make each generation efficient in a military way and to provide a force of citizen-offf- cers who are ready and able to do their duty in case of an emergency.

28 IS IDEAL AGE FOR HER0INES

Chicago. June 16-"Old maids need hang their heads no longer.
 The ideal age for a heroine of moving picture romance or of love stories generally Is today 2S wears, an age that only a few years ago was regarded by the general public as fixing a woman definitely in the ranks of con firmed spinsterhood. This is the conclusion made from a careful study of the 27.000 love stories which the lay public, amateurs from all walks of life, wrote for the scenario contest recently con- ducted by The Chicago Daily News Representing not what scenario and ma gaKine editors or writers guess the public's choice to be, these manuscripts were first hand information on the ac- tual tastes of the people who buy books and who attend moving picture exhibitions.
 Striking unity among the na- tionaIIy scattered contestants up- on the subject of the heroine's age is among the first things to be noted by the judges, said James Shyrock director of the con test today, announcing the facts as brought out by the competi- ton. Ut is too general to be accidental and represents un- doubtedly. a countrywide change in ideals.
 '.Few of the heroines are in their teens. only a handful, are in their very early twenties, the great majority are around 27 and 2S. the authors seeming to regard this age as woman's best and woman as more beautiful, intelli- gent. poised and attractive there than previously. The judges de clared that the age, of the ideal heroine had been advancing steadily since the 1S70's when a girl of 16 or IT was regarded as rornanticalIy perfect.
 '"The judges explain this by citing woman's entrance into in dnstrv. politics, education and by nointing out that woman today re- fuses to grow old and takes bet fer care of her beauty than she did in early periods. In the stor- ies written by women, 50 per cent. of the total the herolnes were on the average four to five years old than in the stroies writ ten by men,"
