ment of $1,000. She claims that the
management of the building was so

Chinese Along Paris Sidewalks
Draw Customers With Smiles.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Chinese pearl peddlers are
the talk Of Paris. because they seem
to avoid talk themselves.
People become interested in the
small, quiet merchants who stand
silently out of the way of sidewalk
traffic with many strings of false
pearls on their arms. Their eyes alone
are in motion searching the crowds
for customers. AS soon as they no.
tice slight hesitation they smile. and
the smile seems to bring the prospec
tive buyer to them.
A hundred of these sidewalk sellers
have formed a colony in Paris. They
come from the province of Chekiang,
attracted by the takes brought back
by the thousands of coolies who
worked here and at the front during

ENGLAND ALARMED
/ AT AIR DISASTERS
Comic Note Injected Into
Discussion by Woman's
Ocean-AeriaI Fashion.
BY A. g. GARDINER.

By Radio to The Star.
LONDON, September 10.-The ap
palling series of Atlantic disasters
has produced a profound revulsior
OF feeling in the public mind in re
gard to the ocean flights, and in the
press the strong opinion is expressed
that the game is not worth the can
die.
1t is clear from the fate of the air
planes Old Glory and Sir John Car
ling that the conditions of the Atlantic
flight are so incaicuiable in the pres
ent circumstances as to make the ad
venture a reckless and slnjustitiable
gamble with death. 1t is argued that
the gains attendant on success are
wholly incommensurate with the
gravity of the risks taken. The fac;
that the Atlantic couli be flown was
worth establishing, but having been
established there was no practical
gain in pursuing an adventure which
adds nothing to knowledge and does
not even give a chance of escaping
disaster.
Discordant Note Struck.
Whether Government action in the
matter is possible at this stage is not
clear, but it is certain that a con
tinuance of the present alarming rec
ord of catastrophes will compel action
and feeling is strong against private
financial indictments to enterprises sc
charged with fatal risks.
A dfscordant note in the controversy
was struck at Liverpool by Sir S.
Brancker, the vice air marshal, who
in a speech declared that the east to
west flight must be accomplished
The public will fail to see the motive
for urgency in the matter, consider
ing the record of failure which has at
tended adventures on the east to west
route. Charles Levine is still waiting
here for news of favorable conditions
but the public, having supped full OF
disasters, would welcome an announce
ment that the venture has been can,
celed.
Touch of Comedy.
A touch of comedy was lent to the
grim tale by Miss Mabel Boil, whose
frantic efforts to get a lift across the
Atlantic are making her q sort OF
serio.comic heroine of the day.
She solemnly announces in the press
the fact that she has got a costume
for the adventure. consisting of a
little white garment cut in the shape
of q riding habit, with an ermine cape
"a sort of little white bird of the At.
lantic. 1t is an excellent idea for Holly,
wood, but it is pointed out that the
Atlantic is not conspicuously re.
spective to erAine, notably suspectible
to feminine fashions.
