PARIS. August 30.-While' no man
is hero to his valet. 1t is equally true
that the ordinary chauffeur does not
hand any halos to his employer. But
Julien, the driver who was taken
over by Premier Herriot when NJ.
Poincare departed from the premier
ship, says of his new boss: HE is
much less strict than the old one"
In addition, julien declares 1T is
much easier to work for him because
he lives in the foreign office apart
ments, and l do not have to lug him
home every night, away up by the
Arc de Triomphe.''
Nevertheless. Julien is still a little
bit aggravated because M. Herriot
did not take him over to London for
the conference. although he admits
that he would. have found it hard
trying to keep to the left, the driv-
ing required by the. insular British
custom instead of to the right. as
practiced in France and America.
Julien. who is amiable and ade-
quately avoirdupoised, like his new
master, has come in for a lot of good
natured jesting from the members of
Poincare's old Right majority. They
tell the driver: We'll, you certainly
took a sharp turn to the left" Where
upon Julien beamingly replies: We'll,
what would you? At that I don't

: LONDON, August 28.-A new type

ette-a sort of fiapper of the Species
has made her appearance in England
and is ousting English spinsters ard
aunts from the jobs they have held
since the prim and proper days Of
Queen Victoria.
There is nothing old ma sh. ma
tronly or grandmotherly about the
chaperonette. She is often as gay as
her charge. and sometimes she is
about the same age. The mothers
point of view of the chaperonette Is
that she is more effective than her
predecessor. for she understands the
nature of modern young people to
world life.
1t is said the young ladies of Eng
land are hopeful of some day being
emancipated like their American
cousins from the bonds of chaperon-
age. but until then they are willing
to put up with flapper chaperons.

couragement of temperance is said to
be the guiding aim of the kings bar

Neither the brewers nor distillers own
stock in them and the local mana

provision for luncheons and teas in

depth of his descent into the political
discard were strikingly shown re-
Gently when the Senate voted to re-
turn to the old election system, each
deputy being elected by his own sep
arate constituency. Poincare had
forced the adoption of the new COM
plicated system in 1919 by an almost
unanimous vote through asking it as
a question of confidence in the gov
ernment. This system, under which
the former premer'S party was badly
defeated in the May election. was dis

opposing votes. NJ. Poincare. bitter

hest. Photographs are very valuable,
indeed, but the eye is still better for
this work
We know very well a Photographic
plate will consistently show stars
with different comparative brightness
from that with which the eye sees
them, and different results will be OBJ
tanned with different kinds of plates.
We also know that there are some
who. having eyes, see not. and others
who have visions. In the case of the
finest details on the surface of Mars
I'VE are on the limit of vision. Some
have seen details which others have
not. This of itself is not surprising.
The details claimed are q series of
fine straight lines crossing the light
er portion of the planet especially.
These lines are called canals. In some
cases they have been seen double.
Some of these lines have been seen by
the same and different observers at
different times. There is little ques-
tion about a few of the more con-
spicuous ones, but nearly 500 have
been mapped. OF the reality of most
of these there is much doubt. OBJ
servers of much experience under fine
conditions have been entirely unable
to see them, nor could they see them
on photographs on which they were
claimed as appearing. Very plausible
hypothesis have been made as to why
observers think they see these lines.
1t is hoped that the question as to
whether they are real or merely
physiological or psylogical phe-
nomena may be definitely settled this
year. Theories to explain their sig
nificance have little importance until
their reality is more firmly eStab-
liShed.
In 1877 the distance to Mars was
carefully measured, because this was
very favorable opportunity. The
distance OF the sun and all other
distances in the solar systems are
easily found if we know any one dis
tance. Since that time the asteroid
Eros, which is far better suited for
the purpose. has been found. So far
as / know, no observations for this
purpose will be made this year. In
1877 the only two satellites of Mars
known were found. but there may be
others. These two satellites are very
difficult to see even when they are in
good position.
Venus is farthest west of the sun
September 9. 1t will be the brilliant
morning star all month. Mercury is
at it's greatest distance west of the
sun September 81. 1t may be seen in
the morning twilight then. AS Mer-
curry is almost exactly at the point of
it's orbit closest to the sun, then it's
angular distance from the sun is al
most the least possible at such a time.
The sun crosses the equator and Au-
tumn begins September %, 2:59 am,
Eastern standard time.
