 There are 800 fireplaces in the famous Westminster building. most ly in members and committee rooms. All winter>a force of fire lighters is kept busy tending them. The chambers of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords are heated by steam, as are the cor- riders.

PARIS
The Salary Paid President Coolidge is Same as That Given
 French Executive.

Paris, May 6-President Gaston Doumergue of the French Republic gets practically the same pay as President Coolidge.
 President Doumergue gets 2.5oo.- 600 francs a year, which. figuring the franc at about 25 to the dollar, amounts to approximately s100.000. If the French currency should start to improve rapidly. NJ. Doumerque would have sizeabie advantage over President Coolidge. who gets s15,000 salary and sc5.O00 for trav- cling and entertainment.
 The French presidents entour- age claims that the two and a half million francs allotted their chief just about suffices to make ends meet. While his travelling expenses are normally less than Mir. Cool idge's. he has to entertain. they assert. on a far more lavish scale. When 1t Is taken into account that he must provide champagne and other non-Volsteadian beverages for all his official receptions there seems to be ground for that as- sumption.

Claims New Dances Develop Odd Gnits


 French devotees of the Charles ton and the Black Bottom develop a peculiar manner of walking, ac- cording to a Paris critic.
 Charlestoners. he said. develop what he describes as Knock knees" while the habitual Black Botomers attain an unconscious double shuffle of the ball of the foot.
 The Charleston" walk. says the critic. has become recognized feature of the promenade along the great Parisian boulevards. Strange ly enough. he adds. the American don't seem to have attained it. He thinks that is because the preva- lence of sport in America provides in itself an easy. graceful carriage that defies the influence of exotic dance steps.
