EN- ON FOR
GOOD LUCK .
DePaolo Confesses to a
Sentimental Streak
In His Nature.
By DAMON RUNYON

Pete de Psolo is New Jersey born
Italian. trim and right good looking
and with a pair Of amazingly bright
eyes, which have frequently peered
into the grim face of death.
Peter de paolo is the worlds cham.
pion automobile race driver, the chief
Of that daredevil clan that Ralph de
Palma, champion in his own time,
called the guinea pigs of the motor
car industry.
You know medical science uses
guinea pigs in experimenting with the
germs Of disease. II is middliny
rough on the guinea pigs, and moi
infrequently fatal. But science learns
through the guinea pigs, and human
jty is benefited.
Through the race drivers, the au-
temobile industry tests its car con-
struction, and learns about rubber,
and wheels and engines. and carburc-
tors, and what-nots. The automobile
races reveal any mistakes in car con-
struction. II sometimes means death
10 the drivers. but il seems that some
body always has TO die for mistakes.
HIS SONS SHOES.
Pete de Paolo has a pair Of wee
shoes tackled on the front Of his rae
ing car, a long. low, thin sinister
looking yellow affair. and he showed
me the picture of the owner of the
shoes. mounted to the dashboard just
under the wheel.
The bright eyes Of Pete de PsolO
can always see the handsome face Of
his little son, Tom, as Peter de Paolo
whirls along the twisting timber trail
in that wicked car, with death sneer-
sing at his elbows.
"For luck?" / asked, pointing at
the tiny shoes.

gravely.

WOMEN WEAR LESS

The pronounced reduction in the amount of clothing that women wear today is nothing less than tragedy for English manufacturers of worsteds. who frankly admit, in their pleas 10 parliament for protective tariffs, that the new styles have meant serious loss for them.
 But it is not the new women's styles alone that cause hardship for the makers of fabrics Houses also are going "decollete" summer and winter, in contrast to the heavily curtaned and draped homes of the Victorian age. Pom derous draperies are passing. There are not nearly so many stuffed chairs and sofas With their long skirts, women are abandoning also dust catching fabrics of all kinds in the home and thus are simplifying housekeeping.
 Nor arc men wearing as many worSteds as formerly, the manufacturers complain. There are no more shaws for old men, for men, imi tating women, refuse to get old In many ways this age uses fewer clothes than its predeces- sors. Formal entertaining Is less general. People go to the theater in business clothes, and even refuse to dress for dinner.

Anti-Feminism Still Exists in the French Academy of Science

Paris, Jan. 2--Anti.feminism still exists In

Great Britain Also is Finding Re vival of the Old-Fashioned Coun-
 try Dances Proving Popular

London, Jan @---Thcre has been a sudden countrywide revival of the old English coun- try dances, and q great all England folk dance festival is usherng in the New Year in the grand hall of London university. in South konsington.
 The revival is bringing tho Morris dance and the sword dance into their own again, says report by the English Folk Dance society. which asserts these dances are being taken up with enthusiasm by tens of thousands Of young people throughout England. The society Is compelled to refuse hundreds of applications from would-be learners because of it's inability 10 secure enough ballroom space.
 Women are taking up sword dancing enthu- sas,ically, many with the purpose of teaching it to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and members of similar organizations.
 Scottish reels arc also rcgaining favor, mainly because of the partiality of the Duch- ss of York, for them, although the duchess herself will not he seen in the ballroom for the next few months because of the approach of an interesting family event.

COMMUNITY CHEST
 BUDGETS GROWING
Charity Donations All Over
 Country Increase

Kansas City, Jan. 2 (P-Of Amer lean cities which arc giving increas- ing amounts to consolidated charity budgets, the milk of human kind. ness seems to prevail most abundant ly in Minneapolis and Cincinnati. al' though there is a chance for diver gence of opinion, as various stan dards may be applied.
 Minneapolis subscribed most per capita in 1925 to philanthropic in- slitutions from all sources, including public revenue, and Cincinnati led in voluntary gifts per capita to it's conl- munity chest, Cleveland. however, had the largest chest pledge - Si,- 2S5,90S --- and Philadelphia, with pledges of S2,920,l54. the next largest.
 These figures were made available here through the American Associa- tion for Community Organizations and the Kansas City Council of Social Agencies
 Cincinnati subscribed $4.3i per capita in the 1925 drive, based on it's entire population,
 Minneapolis was shown to have donated from public revenues and private sources a far greater sum from every person-Sl4.S4-while St. Paul was only slightly behind with $l4.S9 and Kansas City, Mo. third with Sl3.65. Buffalo was listed as fourth with $12.9l. and Des Moines fifth with $l2,52,
 Rochester, x. Y followed Cincin- natl in donations to the community charity budget. giving at the rate Of $4 per persons; Cleveland was third. giving sS.S9. and San Fran cisco fourth with $3,Si. | Tho popularity of the community chest plan, which concentrates chari- ties campaigns into one grand crash and gets it over, was attested by the increasing number of cities whicl, have adopted 1t. In twelve months ending May 3l. 1925, the assocla- ton says, 2G cities adopted the plan and held their first campaign.
 The amount raised by 206 com munity chests and welfare federa- | tions (the latter has only slightly different meaning from the formcr) in the same period was reported al 1 S55. 1000.
 Deducting the amount raised by 1 the 26 new chests, there was an in. crease of Sl.136,6 ,634 in the amount raised in 1925 over the amount raised in 1924, said the association Eighty-ono cities asked for more 1T 1924, 33 for less and IS for the same amount.
 The community chests. for the most part, are for approved charitie: without references to race or re- ligion. Each philanthropic organiza ton is apportioned d share of tn

FOLLOWS HOUNDS AT 6l

Earl Bathurst, who at 61 still follows the hounds, likes jazz and many other modern things, recently delivered himself of the opiu- ion that in dress women have gone altogether too far. He admits he may be somewhat old fashioned. but at that ho does not think wonl- en have changed much for the better.
 My advice 10 girls Is 10 avoid the vanity hag," said Lord Bathurst when presenting prizes at a Circncester school. The colored hose and the short skirts girls are wearing made him shudder, declared the peer. who said he much preferred the old fashioned high boots and Eaiers
 However, Lord Bathurst said, he quite agreed with the modern tendency for women to participate in sports more and more, and declared that young wife should interest herself in football, cricket and other games so as to be able 10 converse with hcr husband and keep him at home nights
