By The Assoeistse Press.
 Paris. Juno 3o.--An indirect hut none the less pointed reply to the Pope's separations letters is seen here in the senate's unanimous approval of the Ruhr credits and in Premier Poin- cares reiteration Of his oft-repeated declaration:

 Justifying for the benefit Of q "tem- poral as well as spiritual powers" the position of France towards Germany the premier in an impassioned ad- dress to the upper house asserted that Frances attempt to collect what is owned her had been met with Ire sistance which is called passive but which is in reality active insidious and criminal"
 Asserting that not a single day passes but German industralists are attempting to meet our own busi- ness men or politicians" the premier assured the senators he was fully in- formed of all such moves and that France would fall Into no more raps."

 Judge of Probate Court in 1903
 Tn 1903 Judge Klett was elected judge of probate, position which he filled for two years. Previous to this appointment he was assistant prose- cutting attorney and when his term expired as judge of probate he was again appointed assistant prosecuting attorney. In 1909 he succeeded Charles IT. Mitchell as prosecuting at torney and held that office until Jan uary 19, 1921 when he resigned to become judge. He occupied the bench for the first time on February : of that year although he did not assume office until July.
 He succeedd Judge John H. Kirk ham, appointed to fill the unexpred term of Judge James T. Meskill who died in January of 1920.
 Farewells Are Said.
 At the close of court this morning, Attorneys P. r. McDonough, Michael Sexton, William r. Mangan, Chief William c. Hart, other court officials and newspaper men extended their best wishes to the retiring judge who will devote all of his time to his pri- vate law practice.
 A special session of the city court | and a meeting of the bar will be held i on Monday afternoon.
 Judge Klett was responsible for the starting of the juvenile court in New Britain before the law became effec- | tive requiring such courts. In his opinion the establishing of such a court was step forward and it has worked out satisfactorily. Youthful who were formerly brought Into court side by side with the hard ened criminals, now have their cases heard privately and there is no pub Iicity given their names if under 16 years of age.

OLD CUSTOMS SEEM CURIOUS
Common Plates and Cups Were Once
Shared-Fought for the
Biggest Share.

Noble families in England in the
Middle Ages shared common plates
and cups, used fingers instead of
forks. licked their plates, wiped their
teeth on the tablecloth, and scram-
bled for the largest portion, says the
Detroit News. Books on etiquette is
sued in the Fifteenth century pointed
out that these things were not good
manners. The art of cooking in the
Middle Ages flourished. however,
cooks eXcelling at artistic and rich
confectionery.
Dancing in medieval times was true
to its name. Dancers really moved
with nimbleness and agility instead
of slowly pOsturing round the room in
the manner Of modern dancers The
noble and his family and servants
lived and slept in the great hall of the
castle, with next to no privacy. A
better state of things evolved gradual
ly. more rooms being added and more
windows put in, insuring greater se-
clusion for the lord and his family.

Among short men-that Is, those ne

forty to forty-four years, an excess OF
20 per cent in weight involves an add
