SALE OF NOTED
FRENCH ISLAND

: PARIS, Dec. 1S (P--Plans of the
French government to sell the island
of ste. Marguerite, where the Man
in the Iron Mask" was imprisoned
for ten years, have met with much
antagonism.
The report that British capital was
planning to turn the island into q
model winter resort has brought pro-
testations from every part of the
Rivera. The district is already OBJ
jecting to the numerous subdivisions
financed by foreign capital.
The island of Ste. Marguerite, which
is about four miles in circumference,
is situated at the mouth of Cannes
bay. The Man in the Iron Mask,
made famous by Dumas, was incar-
cerated in the Ste. Marguerite fortress
in 1887. History still disputes his
identity. In 1873 Marshal Bazaine,
who was accused of treason in sur.
rendering Metz to the Prussians, was
an inmate of the prison. he sue
ceeded in escaping the following
year.
1t is reported that the French
government has been offered large
sum for the island, but newspapers
and societies are fighting the pro-
posed deal

The height of bravery in France
these days is to ask for raise.
Since July, when the Poincare
government set out to save the
franc, there have been few boosts
in salary or wages for any French
men, yet the cost of living has risen
steadily in the four and more
months that have intervened. Gov
ernment employees have sent up one
cry of distress after another, but
the bantamlilxe little fighting premier
from Bar Ie Due has turned down
every proposal for higher pay. His
lead has been followed by the in
dustrials, the shopkeepers and all
other employers.
Now that the franc has been saved
or restored to health, at least
the prospect of increased pay for
salaried folk seems slighter than
ever. In fact, unemployment, thing
unknown during the years of infla
.tion, is beginning to make itself felt.
1t is not painful or very noticeable
yet, but the workers fear it may be,
and rather than be asked to become
4 part of it, they keep their desires
for more money away from the ears
of the employers and hope for better
days in the future.

\ The French craze for negro enter
tainment shows no signs of abating.
Negro singing is still considered very
chic in cabarets and negro jazz bands
from. America are more in demand
than ever. Cartoonists depicting the
Charleston" and the "Black Bottom"
always use a negro as the principal
dancer, although his partner is more
than likely caucasian.
At the Folies Bergere, the best
known of the music halls, the negro
dancer Josephine Baker continues to
be the brightest of all the stars. Tnc
Folies recently obtained an extern
sion of her contract that will keep
aher at their theater until the spring
OF 1928, Meanwhile she has opened
"a night club of her own, where the
lclientele so far is as smart as any
ito be found, in Paris. She hired a
negro nanny and put her in the
kitchen to teach the cosmopolitan
patronage how batter cakes and syrup
are served out on the banks of the
Mississippi. =

|. Queen Victoria, of Spain, is an
up to date sovereign who wants to
see everything interesting. when she
visits Paris, particularly if Kins
Alphonse already has had chance
to see it.
After dutifulIy attending the classic
Comedie- -Francaise and the opera on
her last visit here, the queen ex
pressed desire to go to the Moulin
Rouge to see the revue. The police
scommissary assigned as escort threw
sup his hands in horror.
But your majesty he remon-
strated "The protocol. Has your
majesty thought of that?" BY the
protocol he meant the agreement
between powers to protect visiting
dignitaries against any situation
which might be regarded as unworthy
of their position.
Weren't you assigned to guide
King Alfonso about Paris?" queried the
queen.
"Yes," replied the somewhat nom
pulsed police official.
"Well, he told me you took him

The shepherds in the Vosges want
the world to quit calling their dogs
Alsatian wolf hounds. The shep-
herds are proud of the fact that the
dogs are Alsatian and readily admit
that they are hounds. But the mere
suggestion that wolves are among
even the remote ancestors of the
faithful dogs is denied.
There are still wolves in the blue
Alsatian. mountains, lots of them.
They do not fraternize with the
wolf hounds,,' however.
The shepherds contend there isn't
enough love between the two to
make a misalliance even possible.
