of childhood. And such a crowd
there was!. Long after midnight
the director of our first European
radio station left US at the door of
our hotel.
The broadcasting situation in
Paris is a strange one. There are
four stations, each operating under
a very different plan from all the
others. The Eifel Tour is really
a military post but it is rented for
broadcasting to M. Privat, who op.
crates il with a daily program of
music and news for one hour each
evening. He obtains funds from
group of radio listeners called
Friends Of the Tower" who each
pay ten francs a year.
Commercial Station
Radio-Paris is a commercial sta
ton in the sense that it is owned
and operated by a company repre-
sentative OF the French radio indus
try. Third, there is a newspaper
station owned and operated by lie
Petit Parisien. And finally, the sta
ton OF the State, L'Ecole Superlaure.
generally known as PIT
With regard to the entire situation
in France one becomes Immediately
conscious of the tremendous OBJ
stacles which impede the natural
progress OF the art OF broadcasting:
The government has taken no def
mite stand about taxing the listen
ers. Theoretically, users of receiv-
ing sets are supposed to pay one
franc a year for licenses. But no
body pays. Therefore, there Is no
definite income. An astonishing
amount Of jealousy exists between
stations.
The PIT of the Post, Telephone
and Telegraph is operated by gov
eminent employees. NJ. Lucien Chan
ton, at the head of PITT broadcasting
in Paris, is ambitious TO perform a
beautiful and worthy service which
would demand about a million francs
n year. But the government will
make no provision for funds, and
so the director does not know how
in the world he will obtain the
money.

planning that the director. Maurice
Privat, would come later.
At quarter past six the program
started. 1t began with an announce
ment to the effect that the tour
would begin its regular afternoon
program. During the next three
quarters of an hour the tour was not
mentioned aagin. nor were any call
letters given. The concert consisted
of excellent tenor, violin, and cello
solos with piano accomplishments.
A French Restaurant
At about seven M. Privat appeared
with news from the Chamber of
Deputies, which he gave to the
listeners. Then he beckoned us out
of the studio, and we went into the
little back yard to chat. His wife

and little boy OF 6 had come with
him, and they invited MarjOry and
myself to have supper with them.
NJ. Privat took us to one Of those
rare old restaurants not generally
known to Americans, one Of those
substantial French institutions which
still preserves the glory of the
classic French cuisine with all it's
native flavor.
After supper we went TO the home
of some artist friends living near
the Etoile, and, after some music
and pastries, a great crowd of us
sailed forth to visit the Fete de
Neuilly-a play ground for the
grown-up children of Paris, with
merry -go-rounds, shooting galleries,
lotteries, games and countless sports

CAUSES LOSS OF ENERGY

When the roter of a variable con-
denser or ticker coil passes too close
to the secondary coil a bad effect
is introduced, similar TO that of
adding a vernier condenser. Besides
detuning the set, it causes a loss Of
energy through absorption.

Could Rise to Return

larity in their names and asked that the
cartoon should be removed at the earliest.
The owner of the bar the one and only
Harry did indeed comply with the society
mans request. But all the same, if he
removed the cartoon from the window it
was only to place it up again few inches
away.
This did not satisfy Harry Lehr in the
slightest. And the next little episode
was-the story sayS-Harry Lehr's walk
ing into the bar with some friends, see
ing the cartoon and smashing 1.-THE
story says-with his cane.
He is therefore another person that has
been offended by Sem. And yet the car
tOonist does not mean to offend anybody
at ALL He thinks that everybody has the
same sense of humor that he has, and sees
the joke-even when it is on themselves.
Sem even caricatured himself last year
as a monkey, so as to show his public that
he himself did not mind being made over
into dreadful looking animal.
Sem comes from the South of France,
from small town called Perigueu. He
started cartooning when he was a
small child, and then made his way to
Bordeaux, the nearest important town.
From Bordeaux, where he spent a few
years, Sem migrated to Marseilles where
he also remained for some time. After
that he came to Paris. On his arrival he
proceeded to do a magnus work on the
races. On the eve of the Grand Prix,
many years back, he came into the office
of lie journal, where Henri Letellier, then
a youngster, was already director.
He soon became artistic director of the
journal. He spent four years in London,
but he never learnt to speak English. And
since the day Letellier met him, the two
have been close friends, never leaving
this high set of Paris 'qui s'amuse,"-
that amuses itself-the highest elements
of which have fallen, or have always
longed to fall, under his pen.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-27

Now Sem had cartooned this lady-not
very politely. When the albums were
opened that night, Miss Edyth Kelly
Gould laughed out loud at seeing the
cartoon of the other lady. Mr.. Bam-
berger resented this unsubdued mirth,
and showed this by frowning reproach-
fully at Edyth.
A little later, Edythe Kelly Gould arose
to dance with friend of hers. And pass
ing by Bamberger, she bumped him on the
bumped one in the slightest. A battle
followed. During the battle, one of the
walters grabbed >Edyth Kelly Gould by
the arm and twisted it behind her back.
this offense by Erskine Gwynne, who
happened to be with Mrs. Gould's party.
The next item on the program was Cor
nuche, car of Deauville, swearing at
Gwynne for having bumped his servant.
Cornuche was none too particular with the
epithets he used towards Gwynne in try
ing to impress him with his Indignation,
with the result that another bump fol
lowed, this time landing on Cornuche's
nose. Further quarrelS came of that.
Cornuche declared that Erskine would
never be allowed in the Casino again,
but changed his mind, and now that Cor
nuche and Gwynne are inSeparable.
Another victim of SENS cruelty is the
famous Harry Lehr, once the court jester
of Newport. The well-meaning Harry
found that Sem had actually had the as
surance to cartoon him as a pig. Now
there is something pig about Harry Lehr'S
make up, according to the cartoonists, and
it was not the first time that Harry Lehr
had been cartooned as a pig. At all
events, a cartoon of Harry Lehr was
placed very much in view in the famous
"Harry's New York Bar" in the Rue
Daunou. The story says that Harry did
not want to be mistaken for the proprietor
of that famous bar on account of the SINH

saw the other, so it was an unmolested
Sem that sat in his seat and ordered few
things to eat.
After while, Fanny Wards party hav-
ing arrived, everybody went in and sat
down.
Just then Fanny noticed that Sem was
sitting at table right next to her, with
a party including Henri Letellier, the
famous connoisseur of feminine beauty,
Mrs. Jean Nash, the best-dressed woman
in the world, Mademoiselle Yola Henri
quet, Letellier's latest sweetheart and the
noble Marquis de Medici.
"Oh so there you are!' Fanny ex-
claimed.
Before Sem lad time to look up, soup
plate landed on his head and drove his
chin against the table.
Caviar, salt, pepper, knives, forks,
champagne bottles, champagne buckets,
champagne corks, champagne moSsers,
champagne glasses and champagne cock
tails followed.
Sem was absolutely routed. A second
later, walters had come in between, and
screen was set up between the two tables,
but Fanny could not be pacfed.
The great Letellier then came over to
the table and spoke to Jack Dean and TO
her. He tried to pacify them. And then
Sem came over and explained that the
harmful cartoon would be wiped out of
the book, and that no further copies would
be sold in which the cartoon appeared.
And now a is well that ends well.
This is not the first time that the APP
partition of one of SENS albums created
stir in the Partisan higher spheres. Some
three years ago, when SENS album came
out in Deauville, another diplomatic ac-
cident took place.
One young man by the name of Ray
mond Bamberger, of whom Mrs. Jean
Nash spoke very nicely in her memoirs
was then counting an English lady of high
birth.

fected in every detail. And as has been
said, because he is absolutely merciless,
he does not care what he makes certain
people look like so long as he thinks they
look like that to him.
Fanny Ward, one of the most interest
ing of the Deauville patrons, and whom
all gay Paris has long taken to its bosom,
had an inkling that she was going to APP
pear in this new album.
But when the album came along, she
looked at what was in it, gave a shrek,
metaphorically hit the ceiling and bounced
back in storm of tears and rage. There

clared war on Sem.
That evening she stood by the bar in
Ciro's restaurant and waited for Sem to
come in. The little cartoonist soon walked
in, but somehow missed Fanny. Neither
