4 theatrical super" market is gradually coming into being in Paris where extra men, women and chil- Grcu, chiefly for the movies, are hired The movie directors, also, are fayorirg the movement because they can pick and choose the types they wish instead of relying upon agencies.
 Quite in contrast with Hollywood, where the volume of business has made "eXtra" work q steady trade, the French motion picture industry is so small and works in such fits and starts that extras have had to he found among people otherwis" employed.
 Now that there Is market" on the Boulevard Strasburg. in the vi cinity of a group of cafes, the hirer and the hired can meet after work hours in the early evening. The extras stand about and gossip while the directors go among them and look them over.

Academy Finds Words Better Than Fiction

The famous dictionary being pre- pared by the Academic I'rancaise is about half done after 50 years Of work and this first part will he pub tished soon. The Academic has the worlds record for slowness. In the three centuries of its existence its enc continuous job has been the Of ficial French dictionary which itself is rarely seen, but which serves as he basis for other similar and more condensed works.
 The first edition of the dictionary vas started in 1G$S and was pub lshed 56 years later. Succeeding editions usually were issued in sec lions. as will he the present one.
 Each time many new words are accepted, but by the time the Aca- domia finishes a section, many ol the accepted words become obsolete. At each session one or more words are discussed by the academicians and the public gets much amuse- ment out Of some decisions, such as the recent refusal to admit the word "midinette," the popular description of the little Parisian working girl. The aged scholars thought the name flippant colloquialism.

CAFETERIA AT H. s. l LIVE TOPIC AGAIN
|ProS and Cons of Lunch Service 1 Being Discussed

Whether the Senior High school is to have a cafeteria or IS to con tinue without this addition to the ; services of the school system is be- 1 coming one of the live subjects Of ! discussion among members Of the board and parents of pupils, poth 1 being vitally concerned.
 1 A proposed addition to the exist 1 ing buildings includes sizeable lunch room but opposition has de- veloped to the plan, one member suggesting that an entire new high school unit built In the opposite { end Of the city would Obviate the need while another ventured an , opinion that less than halr Che school attendance would use a cafe teria.
 This city never having had such a department, few are informed AS 10 it's purposes. uses and methods of operation. Lunch rooms are mol required by law, but were estab- lished to meet a need of both teach CTS and pupils when the nature ot schools or their location made It impossible for all to go home to mnCh. The object Is to have hot lunch or a supplement to the lunch brought from home available. It is the aim, therefore. of the school lunch room or cafeteria to proVld' the right kind of wholesome tood for growing boys and girls, to sup nly such food at a nominal cost and in an environment conductive to proper food habits and good table etiquette.
 School cafctarias are frequently under the home economics depart mcnt and are managed by the heads of those departments. The advan- tascs claimed for the idea. are:
 Experts knowledge of foods and dietctics Is available for the benefit of the pupil,
 The lunch room may be connect od with the home economics de- partmont, thereby opening an ave Inue for the sale of produce of th' department and for the practlca training of the girls in buying, mar. kcting, etc.
 The cafeteria may he madv an ed. ucational factor in health, this sub
 icct as it Is taught in the seNera grades being practised in the selec' ton of foods
 Menus are printed each day an1 not only give the prices but they also suggest examinations which vii meet the bodily requircm ents Of tn pupils. While the food is served d nominal cost the city loses nothlnt as economical buying by trained ex 1crts eliminates loss.
 one hour is allowed for noo! lunch period and the pupils rcpor : in two divisions. giving ample tim for thoughtful selection of the mea , and loisurely. companionable eat ing.

LONDON
Sir Oliver Lodge Comes Out Strongly in Opposition to
 Abolition of Mediums and Seances.

London, Oct. 22. tPt--Sir Oliver Lodge never in his life thought spir- ituahstic mediums should be abol- ished, or anything of the sort as he was reported to have stated in paper read before the international metaphysical congress in Paris.
 The story that the famous spirit ualist had denounced mediums as being a source of possible fraud in direct registration Of psychic pheno- mena was attributed as due to some misunderstanding for which he could not account.
 There has been some misappre- hension, as l have never said any thing which might have been inter preted as meaning that l was Tn tavor of abolishing mediums said Sir Oliver.
 How could We carry on research If we were to scrap our tools? ?'

Reds untcrnatiOnalc" "InsuItS" Paris Cops

The Internationale," song Of revolutionary reds the world over, is definitely classed KS an insult' wh"n sung at the police. Paris courts supported this con- tention of the police and imposed iail sentences in three cases recent ly.
 The song Is sung on all occasions hv communists. at their meetings and in their parades. It might seem debatable whether any of the phrases are in themselves sufficient ly offensive 10 justify their being termed seditious, but the underlying idea of the armed revolution, "thc final struggle" against things as they are, is considered sufficiently offensive to established government.

| English Witch Balls
 ] Attract Collectors

old English witch balls and tear ! glasses are among the curious col lection quests of the moment.
 In appearance the witch balls are huge editions of the silver, golden and blue glass balls seen on Christ mas trees. Formerly they were hung from the beams on Old English cot ! tages and inside above the entrance ! door as mascots to ward off the en- try off evil spirits.
 Most of them were allowed to re- main undusted for many decades so that the surfaces of genuine balls are rough to the touch. They are also quite heavy.
 Tear glasses are glasses with q human tear" apparently imprison- ed in the stem. The tear merely is a hollow and originally was pro- duced by a flaw in the glass rom cir which remained in the glass The curious defect. however was developed into an ornament because of its pathetic attractiveness.

Leeds, England, Oct. 22. P-The dismissal by the Leeds Greyhound Racing Association of a trainer who gave port wine to a greyhound be- fore race has disclosed that here abouts the average greyhound feeds better and more than the average man.
 The North Country miners, who for generations have been enthusi. asts in whippet racing. often give their dogs chickens, eggs and bran dy, which they could not afford for themselves.

.MEXICANS WILL
DEFEAT
YAQUlS MATUZ

TUCSON, May a. (R-"The Mexi-
cans will never defeat the Yaqui In
dian warriors
This assertion was made today by
Chief Francisco Matuz, head of the
local Yaqui village, and heartily sec
onded by Cayetano Lopez, his secre-
tary, and Francisco Sabrador, second
in command of the Yaquis. The three
men we're at the immigration head
quarters here today when the Yaqui
warriors who have been held here
since they we're taken into custody at
Nogales, after crossing the interna-
tional boundary, were released.
Chief Matuz stated he had been
working hard to secure the release
Of the interned Yaquis. According to
the chief, the Yaquis had been sent
to Continenta, wnere they would be
employed in the cotton fields, and
that they we're still under the COM
mand of their chief, Domingo LARA
who had led them across the inter-
national border when they were pur-
sued by the Mexican troops.
Questioned regarding the conflict
below the border, Chief Matuz stated
that in his opinion the Mexicans
would never defeat the Yaquis. One
YaQui, in the mountain COUNTRY he
knows so well, equipped with gun
will give plenty of trouble to large
force of Mexicans, he said.
Asked why the Yaquis had crossed
the border, the chief replied that
they did so in order to. escape certain
death. When questioned why the
Yaquis were fighting the Mexicans
he stated that the Yaquis were merely
doing what anyone else would do il
someone tried to put them out OF
their own home.
