STRIKE DEADLOCK

 July, UDbroken

New York, Jan. g R,-Six months ago today at Atlantic City anthra- cite miners and operators entered @ deadlock in an effort to negotiate a new wage contract and the vice-like grip that each side has on the other appears as tight today as it was then.
 Representatives of the two con- tending interests, however, are seek ing a way out and renewed their discussions this afternoon following an adjournment late yesterday.
 Unless there is a change in policy, and there are ever present rumors, the conferees go into the meeting to- day without any hope of being able to insert wedge that will break the deadlock.

.:-PARIS- Foundation of New Church to be Laid When Joan of Arc Day
 Rolls Around Again

Paris. Jan. 9--When St. Joan of Arcs Day comes again, next May 9. the foundation stone for a new church in her honor will be laid in Paris, in fulhlment of a VOW made to her in the dark days of early September, 1914 when the Germans seemed destined to occupy Paris.
 Tho late Cardinal Annette. then Archbishop of Paris, made solemn VOW in the Cathedral of Notre Dame that If France were victorious the Catholics of the country would build church to St. Joan as 0 thank offering.
 Plans for the church have been drafted, and a site covering 3o,000 square feet purchased between Paris and it's suburb of st. Denis. Ii was here that Joan prayed before her troops made their attempt to recapture Paris from the Dauphns enemies and where she prayed again after the failure of that ill-advsed st- tempt in which she was wounded by an arrow.

EACH ENyIES OTHER


 Titled folk are making strenuous efforts to get into trade and tradesmen are trying just as hard to get ttles--such seems the trend of social change In London.
 Every day some lady. baroness, countess or even duchess announces that she Is opening gown shop on Bond street. or a teashop or even hotel. The whole social fabric has been twisted and sadly torn since the war. It Is ho longer a full-time job 10 he merely lady or gentleman of social distinction.
 Society as 1t was once known in London does not seem to exist any more. Would-be leaders cannot round up enough important followers to attract attention.
 A few days ago the aged founder of the Bachelors club died. He had been for several decades one of the most popular men in Lon don society. No dinner or dance was complete without him in Victorian days. But news- papers generally commented on tho elderly bachelor as a type which has passed. He had gone the way of Ward McAllistcrs and Harry Lehrs the world over.
 Heavy taxes growing out of the war have hastened tho deterioration of formal society In Great Britain. Land is now a burden, and those who had little but big estates must go to work 10 maintain their families. For tunaely the war trained most young men and women how to look after themselves and the titled land poor are digging into trade and commerce with great energy

Edin. burgh. and Scottish ladies desirous Of being summoned to attend courts are therefore re- quested to indicate their wishes accordingly"
 Because of prospects of four courts all told, society leaders predict an exceptionally gay summer with more than the usual number of presentations, which win include from I6 to 20, and possibly more, women from the United States.

TALKATIvE CHAMBER

TALkATlNE CHAMBER
 The greater talkativeness Of the present chamber of deputies as compared with its pre-. decessors is costing France more than a mol lion francs a year. The appropriation for printing tho proceedings of the lower house was formerly about 1,500,000 francs. Last year that sum was exceeded by 1,10o,0o0 francs. Other expenses of running the cham Der increased 1.500.000 francs, leaving deficit of 26OO,OO0 francs at the end of the year.
 Night sessions entered largely into the in- crease, while the deputies consumed more let ter paper than ever before. This extravagance is explained by the fact that since 1924 the deputies are allowed to send their letters free of postage. The total cost of running the chamber is about 2S,000, 900 francs

AUDIENCE SHOCKED

X Wotan without whiskers appearing re- gently in modernzed performance of Die Walkuere," gave Frankfort admirers of Rich ard Wagner shock that will be long renem- bered. The performance was based on an idea similar 10 that back of Hamlet in plus fours" and made no more of hit with It's audience than the modernzed version of Shakespeare's masterpiece previously had made with German audiences.
 Siegmund and Funding were also beardless, but they made up for the hirsute loss by play of features which gave new meaning to the Wagnerian text. Siegmund and Siegnde were draped in flowing robes instead of the usual bearskins. The final act beginning with the wild ride of the Valkyrie through the clouds, was represented as taking place fin the afternoon instead of in the bewtching dark ness.
