French Anthem

Zurich. Switzerland, Oct. "a. p.
by MaiD-There was a tense moment
during the recent congress in this
city of the International Cycling
Union-when German and Austrian
delegates met the French representa-
tives-but 1t came out all right for
the Germans arose and stood at at
tention while a band played the
"Marseillaise," the national anthem
of France.
1t was the first cycling congress
since the war, and ENJOYS of all three
countries sat down around the same
table to discuss the sport from an
international standpoint. It devolved
upon Mr.. j. Breton, chief delegate
for France, to make the closing ad-
dress. 1t is the custom, at these
gatherings, for the band to strike
up the national anthem of the
speakers country as soon as he con-
cludes.
While Mr.. Breton was speaking the
predominant thought was, what will
the Germans do when the band, plays
"Allons enfants de la patrie"? What
they did was to stand up, as did
everyone else, and remain stiffly at
attention until the music stopped.
Everybody was greatly relieved.
Sports are destined to bring the
nations of Europe together on
friendly terms quicker than the ex-
change of sugar. coated acid notes."
Mr.. Breton said later in the day,
pointing to Walter Rutt the veteran
cyclist from Germany, chatting in an
amiable manner with Gabriel Poulain.
the forty-year-o champion of
France.

Work, Not Books, in
Bulgarian School

Sofia, Oct. "a. p. by MaiD-The
autumn work week in all the public
schools of Bulgaria was observed re-
Gently and another week will be
similarly devoted in the spring, The
boys and girls went to school as
usual, but instead of studying en-
ployed the school hours in perform
ing useful tasks. The girls knitted
stockings and made night clothing
for the children in the orphanages,
while the boys cleaned up the school
properties. applying paint where
needed. digging up the school yards
and repairing the pavement IN front
of the buildings.
This work is part of the labor

the statute book under the late
premier, Stamboulisky. 1t ccnsti-
tutes the one reform of the previous
regime that the Tsankoff admins

Efforts are being made, however,
TO make the conscript labor more
effective by a more intelligent and
systematic application. One me-
mortal of conscript labor as worked
out by the Stamboulisky regime is
the long lines of holes which were
dug on either side of the street by
the conscript iaborers and never

were designed to hold. on one Of the
principal streets of the capital,

No Alarm Felt
Over Arctic Heat

Berlin, Oct "a. p. by Mail)-The
warm weather reported from the
Arctic regions Is not to be taken
seriously, according to Prof. Karl
Kassner of the Berlin Meteorological
Institute. A hot wave hits the North
Pole about every 35 years, and this
is the time 1t Is due. The climate
does not really change. Warmer
weather comes in cycles, and history
is merely repeating itself Antics
of the sun are supposed to be re-
sponsible for the changes which
come in the Arctic regions, as well
as elsewhere in the world.
The rise in temperature in the
Arctic regions have been going on
now for several years, DR.. Kassner
continues, if the reports of Nor
wegian fishermen may be believed
DIR. Boel, the Norwegian scientist,
discovered new coal fields in Spitz-
bergen last August because of the
thin covering of ice which lay over
the ground. A Norwegian captain
who has sailed the Arctic for "a
years reports that he began to notice
the appreciate lesscning Of the ice
five years ago, and that the flower
and animal life have been much
changed by the milder climate.

Administration during their stay in
Russia are waiting with longing
hearts and itching toes for someone
to come back and dance real U. S.

The A. r. A. personnel houses fire.
quently gave dances, and the Russian
girl employees learned to like jazz
better than their own waItzes, one
steps and fox trots. There are one
or two cafes in Moscow where a
sort Of syncopation is played nightly,
but the dancing by the public does
not begin until 2 or o'clock in the
morning, These places too, are ex-
pensive and beyond the purses of the
former A. r. A. girls many of whom
are now without jobs.
Aided by monographs and Ameri-
can dance records, some of these sad
young women have been trying to
teach Russian men to dance in the
American manner, but the girls say
they put too much heel clicking and
leaping about into the measures. and
try to turn a fox trot into ballet.
The girls are frankly miserable
about it, and whenever a stray Amer
lean who can dance turns up in
Moscow, he can be surrounded by
willing dancing partners as long as
he is able to keep going.
Every time girl gets a letter in
English from some former A. r. A..
man she takes it around to all her
acquaintance and they sigh. turn on
the photograph, and think of old
times.

Dogs Still Good
DESPITE Arctic Tractors

Copenhagen, Oct. 5 CA. P. by MaiD
Dog teams still hold the leading
position as a means Of conveyance
in the frozen north; a certain type
of power tractor has been tried in
their stead but found wanting. in
the opinion of LANCE Koch. the DAN
ish explorer, who has just returned
to Copenhagen after experimenting
in northern Greenland with the
machines. 1t is almost impossible to
substitute self-propelled machinery
for dogs, he says.
The party left Copenhagen in a
small motor schooner in July. 1920,
and by the following March had
built a base 1875 miles north Of Thule,
in latitude Is north. The first diff
ficulty with the tractors was ex-
perienced in unloading them from the
boat and getting them on inland ice.
In IL inches of snow up a slight in
cline, but at very slow speed the
tractors dragged a load consisting
of nine barrels of petrol. barrel
of oil, barrel of benzine, tent mate
rails, etc. 1t is therefore necessary
for the tractor to drag great weights
which consist mainly of its own fuel
and OIL While the motor worked
very we'll at thirty degrees below
zero, considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced at lower temperatures, and
finally it was necessary to abandon
the use of the tractors entirely, as
they held up the progress of the eX-
petition and showed signs Of wearing
out quickly.
The Koch expedition was organic
ed as a scientific and mapping ex-
petition and in this capacity was
eminently successful.

DR.. j. II. Murphy of this town has

Kiss Mattresses Hands
In Sofia Restaurant Z

Sofia, Oct. 6 CA. Z. by MaiD-
There are not many restaurants in
the world where a diner kisses the
MATTRESSES hand before he proceeds
to order his dinner. But there is
such a public restaurant in this city,
and it is probably the only one of
its kind in the world.
This restaurant, called the "Rus-
ski Restorant," is kept, waited on
and cooked for by Russian women
of the nobility, some of whom used
to have salons" in Petrograd under
the empire, to which princes. gen.
erals, diplomats and savants re-
garded it an honor to be admitted.
Driven to the ends of the earth
by Bolshevik persecution. these
particular "prinzessen, comtessen,
serene Englisch altessen''-as Sven
gall called them in "Trilby"-set-
tied down to the business Of their
wrecked lives in this little corner
almost beneath the shadow of the
beautiful equestrian statue of the
Gear Liberator," Alexander IT.
1t is somewhat disconcerting to
American eyes to see a tall Russian
who seems to have seen better days
rise from his table when the wait
ress comes to take the order, salute
madames hand with his lips in the
best manner of a courtier. then
resume his seat and address himself
to the prosaic business of ordering
his meal.
And the food-served in the open
air under the trees in the summer
suggests enough of an approach to
American ideas of what is good to
eat that Americans and Englishmen.
to say nothing of other Europeans"
are among the best patrons of the
"Russki Restorant."
The prices are enough above the
average to make the place rather
exclusive, and the mattresses are pro-
nounced, by Americans at least, to
be entirely satisfactory.

French Evict Germans
From 1920 Castle

Mannheim, Oct. Z CA. P. by MaiD
Mannheim Castle, which the
French recently took over, Is the
largest in Germany. Before the re-
cent revolution it was the home of
the Grand Duke of Baden, who now
occupies a smaller castle which he
owns in Freiburg. After the revolu
ton the castle was used for NUM-
cipal offices until the French took
it over. The building has length
of 600 meters and contains 1900
rooms. 1t stands in a park of more
than IA acres. The castle was be-
gun in 1920 by the Electors Carl
Philip and Carl Theodore and Is re-
garded as one of the finest baroque
buildings in Germany. 1t contains a
museum, art gallery and chapel.
The French have evacuated all Ger
man offices and closed the building
to the public.
