FAMOUS CHEFS DINE LIGHTLY Prefer Mineral Waters t0
 Heavier Wines

London. Dec. C. (P}-The most fa- nous of French chefs are not heavy eaters, and their principal beverage Is water.
 : When six leading Paris chefs came to London to judge a cookery exhibition and were guests of French chefs employed in London, them at banquet but relished , what they ate. And they tasted the fine wines set before them, but drank only glass or two of the dozens offered.
 :, Guerot, director general of the Societe des Cusiniers; Carton, its president; Girard, chef at the Cafe de Paris: Miss of the Carlton, Ar tigue of the Trianon and Dedien of the Restaurant California were members of the Paris delegation of chefs. and their hosts in London included Cedard. chef to King George: Latry of the Savoy; Boctigger, chef at the Bank of Eng land, and Dumastier of the Oriental club.
 At a dinner which lasted from nine o'clock to midnight the dis tinguished cooks talked of food. They agreed that big eaters do not enjoy their viands any more than those who eat slowly, and that strong drink and tobacco between courses are bad for the palate. Be cause they eat slowly, they said, chefs outlive most ordinary folk.
 Less wine was drunk at the ban auet than at the average dinner at the Savoy. The chefs preferred mineral waters. Much Of their food. however, had an alcoholic flavor. The Colchester native oys- ters were bathed in Chahls, the turtle soup was affiliated with old Madeira. the sole had been cooked in champaign and in the vapor of young aspara gus, and the garniture of the sole-crayfish stuffed with ravioli had been praised in brandy The English pheasant was cooked in rare red wine, and pear dessert was drenChed in Kirsch before be- ing covered with clotted cream.

BLER|0T BUILDING
 ANOTHER PLANE
Hopes to Be Able to Add to
 Aviation Service

Suresnes, France, Dec. 6. PA- Eighteen years ago Louis BIeriot of France reared the first milestone along the path of transaquatic avia- tion by flying across the English channel.
 Today he is building the test model of the first transoceanic liner and he hopes 10 demonstrate next summer the practicability of commercial air traffic between France and the two Americas.
 The first model of his air liner is taking shape under Bleriot's eye in a factory here. Some time next year it will set out from France for North America by way of the Azores. the inventor plans, laden with mail and carrying two pilots. In the course of the trip it will be landed deliberately on the open ocean, so that it's seaworthiness may be tried out and q life boat which it carries may be subjected 10 practical conditions.
 LII lllc llSuI OI lcSNOIS ltdTlFl III this trial flight Bleriot plans 10 build at a cost of upward of d mil lion dollars, the first real ocean air liner.
 It will he q monoplane, weighing some 26 tons and measuring 1&1 feet across it's wing. It will be powered and fuelled to remain in the air for 20 hours. Four motors will propel it.
 IL will carry 30 passengers housed within the wing, which will be curved in ovoid shape at the fornt of the plane and will come to an edge behind.
 There is no reason, Blcriot de Clares, why a transoC"anic com merce and transport plane cannot be built that will weigh a hundred tons or more and will carry many more than the 30 passengers for whom the French pioneer plans space in his first air liner.
 T am certain" NJ. Bleriot told The Associated Press, that my ma chine will make ocean flying en- tirely safe. The plane will be able to stand all but the heaviest seas,

 The attempt Of substitute trainer 10 load Texas" into a box car for the jump from Colton and Beaumont Sunday presumably started the ele- phant on the rampage. Sixteen year old Albert Mosarlin, his regular trainer, who was the only person able to handle Texas" had taken a few days vacation and the pachy- derm was grumpy. The huge beast was said to have killed several trainers and other men during his more than a century of life. He re- fused to enter the box car, so the circus men left him at the stock yards here.
 Yesterday morning Texas" tore down a length of fence and headed for the Santa Ana river jungle.
 ToWnspeople said the elephant at tackled two automobiles en route w. G. Dalphyn, owner of "Texas," who caused the arrest of Mcfarland, said his big exhibit was harmless and that $10,000 worth of elephant could have been saved. He accused Me Farland of announcing T have shot everything but an elephant and now I'm going to get me one"
 Mcfarland on the other hand, said he was told that the elephant had charged a little girl and that he had resorted to the gun to protect the town. When he neared the beast, he said, it charged him and he shot in self defense.
