ALL FOREIGNERS

| ALL FOKElC1INE.KOI
III PARIS, Dec. GP.--All Foreigners
will be barred from the model resort
which is being laid out on the Cap ID
n Antilles, between Nice and Cannes, by
a syndicate of north France Industrial
lists. The syndicate is headed by Louis
II Loucheur, a former cabinet minister.
This is the first time in the history of
the Riviera that French property hold-
ers have banded together to exclude
j Americans and English.
N one hundred acres of the finest land
/ on the Cap DAntibes has been bought
Ilby the syndicate. The plan is to make
Il the settlement the most exclusive in
II France. The members of the syndi-
Icate have pledged themselves not to
4 permit any of the property to pass out
of French hands.
/ This move is not being accepted
i lagreeably by the community. Many
4 lFrench business men have protested
to the departmental authorities, point
ling out that British and American !

prosperity of the district
| "Old Sailor" has taken its place as
| favorite color with the debs and sub
debs of Paris society.
| Unlike the new shades that have :
made their appearance at Longchamp,
however, "Old Sailor" has not yet been
applied to dress materials. 1t is used
solely in cosmetics to give richer,
browner appearance to fair arms and
shoulders than the favorite "sunburn"
shade of last year
"Old Sailor already has achieved 4

tion for the 10000 members of the
American legion expected in Paris for

ceiving the attention of hotel men,
city officials and private individuals
The latest suggestion has been made

card, the man who before Verdun emit
ted the now world famous cry to his
company, Arise, we dead, and at them!'
M. Pericard asks that 10000 citizens
of Paris each offer one or two rooms
Of their apartments from September
II to 25 to the American visitors.
4, The responses have been many and
enthusiastic, although September is a
bad month for such a plan. Many Pa
risians are away from the city, either
in the mountains or at the seashore,
and their apartments are closed. F..
Pericard however, expects to arrange
for accommodation for 10000 or $4,000
American legionnaires in this manner.
The hotels will be able to look after
the remainder.
Leaders of the French intellectual
world are crowning deeply alarmed at
the way in which the most brilliant
French students are deserting the
learned professions for business ca
reers. Unless Something can be done
to check this tendency, they feel that
France soon will lose her eminent po-
sition in the world of science and
learning.
Under present economic conditions,
learned career means a life of gild-
ed poverty. young man graduating
among the first 20 from the polytech-
nique, one of the greatest scientific
post graduate schools in the world,
has an earning capacity inferior to
that of city Street sweeper.
AS a consequence, there were 100 less
candidates for admission this year,
with a general lowering of the intel
lectual level of the students. Conditions
are even worse at the higher normal
school, the postgraduate institution at
which Frances university and high
school professors are trained. Candi
dates grow fewer and fewer, and many
who enter do not complete the course,
but leave to take up some occupation
which promises more immediate and
tangible rewards.
T Paris dressmakers are presenting a
display of pajamas for Palm Beach,
bathing suits for Miami and sports
costumes for the American Riviera in
general, that seldom has been equalled
in the history of the trade.
l New kinds of pleating are exhibited
in pajamas both in coats and trousers.
The use of cotton materials, both inl
voiles and crepe, gives the artists
for genius. t

used in the Palm Beach pajamas. Rich
