GERMANS AND FRENCH
ARE POLITE SPORTSMEN

PARIS CH9-An encounter between
the French and the Germans is the
most polite spectacle imaginable-on
the postwar field of sports. In re-
cent competitions between the two
countries since their resumption of
athletic relations, spectators have re-
marked that the athletes are llncom-
monty gracious. They seem to go
out of their way to be courteous to
former enemies, much more so than
in matches between French teams and
those from former allied countries.
Not long ago series of bicycle
races was held between France and
Germany. The German winners in
sisted on sharing their bouquets with
the French they had beaten. And,
when the French won race. the
victor asked the man ne had beaten
to accompany him on the triumphal
tour of the track, while the crowd
cheered.
Finally, when Matthias Engel, the
new German champion of the world
for amateur speedsters, captured
race, he refused to allow himself to
be photographed until one of his
compatriots and two French competi-
tors stood with him in front Of the

ENGLISH CHILDREN NOW
EXPECT LONGER LIVES

LONDON R)-The expectation of
life for child born in England to-
day is II years longer than it was
for a child born in 1846, according to
a report of Sir George Newman, chief
medical officer of the ministry of
health
The fight against disease and early
death has resulted in statistics show
ing that from 1886 to 1850 there
were 224 deaths per Thousand per-
sons, and 15F infant deaths per
thousand persons. From 1921 to 1925
there we're only l0.9 deaths per thou
sand and 76 infant deaths
"These figures mean," said Sir
George, 'that despite an enormous
increase of population, without in
crease of home territory, the total
death rate and the infant mortality
rate of the nation have been halved
in four generations.
The infant mortality rate was five
per cent lower in 1926 than in 1925

ONE PARIS COURT DAY
TO AMERICA DIVORCES

PARIS (R)-Americans seeking di-
vorces in French courts are becom-
ing more and mere numerous despite
the discouraging attitude of judges
who of recent months have been ad-
herring more and more rigidly to the
exact letter of the law.
So many apparently bona fide ap-
plications are now before the tribunal
of the Seine that the presiding judge
has been compelled to set aside one
day week for hearings on American
applications alone.
Earlier in the year scores of United
States citizens, sure of quiet, painless
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-02

and questionless legal separations
found their applications refused be-
cause they had not complied strictly
with the requirement that they estab-
lish bona fide residences in France.
Since then, investigation has showed,
the undiscouraged divorce seekers
have in most cases actually estab-
liShed a residence.
The ministry of justice, alarmed at
the increase in American and English
divorce applications, is studying means
of further discouraging the practice
1t is probable that bill to that
effect will be introduced in parlia-
ment during the winter.

Modern Piano Merely
Copy of Old Dulcimer

Even the handsome pianos in our
modern living and music rooms were
not always as we know them today.
The story of the development Of the
piano, like that connected with every.
thing else we use, is story of humble
beginnings and continuous improve.
ments.
The history of musical instruments
shows us that the piano is very prob
ably a modern development of an in
strument known as the dulcimer. This
was originally nothing more than a
fiat piece of wood, on which were fas.
tened two converging strips of wood.
across which strings were stretched
and tuned to a natural scale. Sound
was produced by hitting the strings
with two hammers. one in each hand
Of the player.
As separate musical instrument
the dulcimer has probably been
changed less than any other. Two
pieces Of wood have been added to
produce sound box for the body and
keys with which to tune the strings !;
otherwise it is still in practically its
original form.
1t is easily seen how the piano was
developed from the dulcimer. The
only difference in the principle of the
two is the fact that the piano is
larger, and it's strings are struck by
keys instead of hammers. The mod
ern piano is really nothing more or
less than keyed dulcimer.
