London has voted against the Amer
lean waffle.
Just about a year ago a great firm of
caterers put the crisp and toothsome
American concoction on their menus.
Maple syrup, so-called, was imported
to pour on the waffles.
For a few months they were popu-
lar. Then the demand dwindled and
finally disappeared. The caterers at
tempted to revive interest in the wan
ing waffle, even tried putting an egg
in the batter, but staid old London
held aloof.
The caterers say. the explanation is
that eating is a serious business with
the English. Bacon and eggs, beef
and boiled potatoes stick to the ribs IN
cold weather Waffles may satisfy
American appetites, but they scarcely
arouse English curiosity as food.

"Black Bottom is due for world fa-

decessors, it is a genuine dance rather
than a "contortion." At least, that is
the decision of three hundred dancing

met in Paris to/discuss the work of
their profession.

TOFRENCHHUNT|
IN BIG BUS Sc 81

PARIS, Nov. 29 H9.-"The horn of
the hunter is heard on the HILL but,
this year, it has been nearly drowned
out by the horn of the tourist bus.
The eagerness of the foreign visitor to
view old French traditions" has given
an enterprsing travel agency the idea
of organizing a service of busses to
follow the stag hunt in the forest at
Rambouillet
When the ultra -aristocratic hunts
men and huntswomen, accoutred in all
the finery of a by-gone age, arrived
for the famous mass of ST. Hubert,
which precedes the first run of the
season, they were not at all flattered
by the interest they had aroused. All
the ceremonial, however, was gone
through as usual--the blessing of the
pack and the sounding of the different
horn calls but the presence of stran-
gers took all the zest out Of the pro-
ceedings.

WATCH OUT FOR CROOKS

The growth in traffic from London's air port at Croydon to the continent has necessi- tated increased activity by Scotland Yard In order to catch international crooks. Each pas senger who boards or leaves a plane at Croy- don is now scrutinized by detectives from the famous British police headquarters.
 Scotland Yard is very proud of its record in nabbing law breakers at the numerous sea ports of the south of England A crime is com mitted in London, and the criminal usually dashes for the south coast, which is only seventy five miles away. An hours channel crossing puts him in France and safety-per- haps.
 But they rarely get away. The moment a murder IS committed, rich jewel haul is made or a big robbery reported in any part of Britain, Scotland Yard clamps down it's vigil the coast-and, like the Northwest Mounted Police in Canada, Scotland Yard us- ually gets its man.
 The watch at the Croydon air port, as a new thread in the net to nab international crooks, already has proved it's worth. Jewel robbers, drug smugglers. and no end of conf- dence men have been taken into custody they have stepped in or out of one of the big passenger planes that fly between England and the continent.

BECKETT NOW A ROOKIE

Joe Beckett, former champion heavyweight prizefghter of Great Britain, has adopted the profession of racetrack booknaker
 With a bookie's sachel swinging from his neck, a sign telling the world of his new call ing and roaring voice bawling odds on horses Joe is familiar figure at the race meetings.
 Beckett was to have met Phil Scott the present British champion, at the Dell in Southampton early this summer, but he in jured himself shadow boxing and another gladiator was substituted.
 There seems little doubt that Beckett is through with the square circle game for good He has not issued a challenge to Gene Tunney.
 The consensus here is that when a fighter so far forgets his professional duties as to fail to issue challenges on the eve of or just after big matches, he must be ranked among the definitely retired.
