has filed suit in the District Su
prefne Court against David III, Blair
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
ana Roy "a. Haynes, Prohibition
Commissioner, who will be required

quest should not be granted.
Krauter, represented by Attorney

basic permit authorizing him 70
export intoxicating liquor Tor other
than beverage purposes. He says
that IN. December, 1922, he applied
to Director Garfield. Of New York

owned by plaintiff from the Stewart
Dlstilling Company Of Baltimore,
Nd, for expectation to George N.
KakOusseOs, at Piraeus, Greece.
Krautel. says that the permit
was granted March Is, 1923, but
that Il was recalled and another
was issued Ia its place. In Septem-
Der, 1923, he applied for q permit
to withdraw 1000 barrels for ex.
| portation to the same Greek firm,
which, however, was refused on the
| ground. as he alleges. that moi
sufficient proof has been offered by

MIDINETTE's PAY INFLATED
Depreciation of the. Franc Nullifiei
 Paris Shopgirl's Increase

During the last few years the tinan- ciaI position of the midinette, or farls work girl, has seemed to improve more than is actually the case. before tne war A first hand used to earn from = z4 to 3O francs a week, or round about p a week. At present she. earns from loU to 14o francs a week. The French wou,an is. of course, suffering from both ends-from the depreciation Of the franc and from the high cost Of hving and the difference between the oid and the new wage is therefore not very considerable. It is probably in other ways that she has profited most. The S-hour day restrictions have done away with the intolerably long hours which used to be the lot of the long-suftering midinette.
 The periods of no work which used to have no limitations are now reduced to thirty days during the year. At the same time the hygienic conditions under which the midinette works still leave very much to be desired, and pressure is to be brought upon the new govern ment to make compulsory improved con- ditions of lighting, ventilation and heat ing, In a good many of the very big dressmaking houses the employers them selves have taken the initiative and have provided proper accommodation for their girls, with the result that the standard of work has improved enormously.

churches in Europe in the Middle Ages, and the dances in many of the Roman Catholic churches in Mexico, Central and South America and Europe today, indicate that modern people have ex- peFienced the religious force of sacred did in the Baeehantes, the choral dances today as keenly as the ancients dances of Apollo, the floral marriage dances of the Greeks and the dances of the priests of Mars, of Pales, the FIoralia of Flora and the dances of innumerable other Roman deities.
 The Russian Doukhobors, or spirit fighters. who go out into the world like the crusaders of an older age to fight for God, and a multitude of similar Christian priests and sects, are all inn peIIed to their good intentions by simi- lar impulses which have led to the religious use of dances since the. re-
 netest times.
 The lovely dances of the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, exhibited in folk, market. religious and ceremonial festi- vals. the folk dances and earnivals of the middle ages, the pantomime, the masaues. miracle plays, religious bah of the, Morris dancers, the pageants and the triumphal parades and marches in Europe and America today show how ultimately dancing as a means of religious and emotional expression and devotion is instilled in man.

AIk MAIL sTAMPs HoBBY
And Gem Of British Collectors Is An
 American Misprint


 The various issues of postages stamps used for air mail--which have appear ed on every hand since the war-con- stitute one of the most recent and most expensive hobbies among Euro pean stamp collectors.
 The rapid development of aircraft and of aerial mails has produced an abundance of letters with interesting histories, so that the collector often pays not so much for the stamp as for it's associations.
 Any one of the % letters carried by Hawker on his ill-fated attempt to cross the Atlantic is worth today from f35 to $50, but by one of those freaks which only collectors can understand the first air post letters which were car ried across the Atlantic by Sir John Alcock in the R-34 are worth no more than f20, and even then only if they bear the special stamp that was struck for the occasion and are post marked with the actual date of the flight.
 This is partly because these letters are not so rare. At a recent London auction one of the few private letters brought back from America on the R-34's return voyage sold for as much at f32. The souvenir label which the Australian authorities placed upon let ters brought from England to Australia by Sir Ross Smith in his London to Melbourne flight is very-much sought and worth f50.
 The gem of all air stamps, however, is the United States 20-cent issue, which was printed by mistake with the airplane upside down. Only hundred copies were issued before the mistake was discovered and the keen eyes of our postal authorities raised the price to f150.

FAME TO NORWEGIAN WRITER
Historical Novel By Sigrid Cndset Considered A Masterpiece

Historical Novel By Sigrid CndSet
 Considered A Masterpiece
 Two names stand out as pre-eminent among the writers of today in Scandi- navia-Knut Hamsun and Sigrid Und- set, both Norwegians.
 Their personalities and styles are dia- metrically opposed. Hamsun's reputa- tion, has increased by ] aps and bounds during the last fifteen years, and his is one of the few Scandinavian literary names known in the United States. Sig rid Undset arrived at fame through a monumental work which promises to give her such immortality as a Scandi- nayian ma~ hope for.
 This work is an historical novel en- titled 'Kristin Lavransdatter," in three large volumes, written with all of a mans advantages, though the author is a woman. The work describes the love of "a man and a woman for aOne an- other, and that still greater love of a mother for her children. "he humanity of the work is so real Ind deep, it's feeling so genuine, its art so perfected, that it will yet have a circulation rival ing that of Hans Christian Andersen.
 The work was written during the war and just after it's end; its historical bases are admirable and correct; but he who reads it feels himself living at the time described-and hundred years from today readers will still find | so.
 The war has had very slight influ- ence on real literature in these eoun- tries, fortunately. Present tendencies are rather remote from the earlier part pour Tart anL this is no doubt due in part to translations of American novels with their traditions of swift and ex- citing action. Such transactions in cheap editions have been overrunning the Scandinavian book market, es- pecially since the end of the war; Charles E. Strangland in the ..tlantic Monthly.

CAMPERS UNPOPULAR
They Neglect To Apply The Golden
 Rule, Writer Says

From the owner of a large tract of land on the shores of a popular north ern lake there comes characterization of the summer camper Normally, the camper is not popular with the native residents, and an excellent explanation is given.
 The land owner whom we cite as authority lives close to a summer resort which is made up of cottages He says the typical camper sec res a small piece of land by the lake and immediately puts up a large sign which reads F'Keep Out-This Means You" The camper and his family then proceed to appropriate for their own use prac- tically all of the surrounding country
 They take shortcuts across fields and lawns in order to reach the well of neighboring farm. They spend much time from morning to night trespasSing on the private property of another man. yet they expect the native residen to respect the keep out sign at the en- trance to their own little camp.

BRING DOGS TO

MARS is AWAY SO HAVE TONIGHT

earth are closest to each other
when they are in what astronO-
mers call opposition. That is,
when they are both on the same
side of the sun and when
straight line drawn from the sun
to Mars passes through the earth.
But the orbit of Mars is a fat
tened circle, and accordingly its
distance from the sun varies.
Therefore the distance between
the earth and Mars at opposition
depends upon where Mars is in it's
orbit
If opposition takes place at what
the astronomer calls aphelion-
wner Mars is farthest from the
sun-it will be 63,000,0 900 miles
from the earth to Mars.
But if opposition takes place
WHEN Mars is closest to the sun
at what astronomers call perihe-
hon-then the distance will be
only 34.64S.oO0 miles.
And that is just what happens
