Each Spring sees a revival of the
tailored mode. This year it returns
with its oldtime appeal expressed in
somewhat feminine details. This i'm
portant fashion for women is ushered
in in two-piece costumes that are fash

means of introducing both a different

"The beam will offer sharp contrast to other lights and will be a guide no flier can mis- take.

BY MINOTT SAUNDERS s NEA Service Writer

Paris, Dec. 9.-"Tout lasse, tout casse. tout passe" is an old French saying which means that everything
 wearies, everything breaks and everything passes.
 It is being spoken now in con- nection with Montmartre - the
 Montmartre of the gay night reveller as we'll as the Montmartre or the sinister apache. The flash Ing lights are going out in the streets and the mysterious alley ways are being patrolled by the | police.
 Montmartre is paying the pen atty or extravagance. It went to intolerable extremes. The lighter side of the life there req ached its pinnacle in the summer of 1926 when the franc was tumbling and champagne flowed for a song and dollar It was the playground for tourists from the four corners of the world.
 1nnumerable cafes and dancing places opened, installed American Jazz bands. usually colored, and fortunes were in the making when the crash came. The franc i'm proved and taxation increased. Champagne and all the fluffy in cidentals began to cost real money
 Harvest Fails
 The winter was weathered by most of the better places because the great tourist season with the American Legion convention was coming. But now the season and the convention have come and gone and they were disappointing to Montmartre. The big harvest failed to materialize. The market value of the goods of Montmartrc was already too high. and no longer do they say there that their is one born every minute.
 This winter Montmartrc pre- sents a sorry spectacle 10 the casual visitor. Halls are empty and the poor dancing girls are drifting to other parts. Several houses have closed and others ere trying to sell out. The place has lost its flare.
 Even Joe Zelli, that great fla vorite of Americans, whose smile has carried him through every crisis. has announced that he will close his place on the rue Fontainc for three months beginning Janu- ary 1. If Joe cant pay expenses until the tourist trade begins again, then no place in Mont martre can. Joe opened his place III 1919 and has never had 10 close for a single night since. This shows Whithcr Montmartre is drifting.

NIGHT LIFE HAS COSTLY DEATH
 IN PARIS MONTMARTRE DISTRICT
Police Lock In

pOllcc Lock In
 Another blow to the celebrated quarter in the shadow of Sacre Occur Is the dissemination of its , more elusive and more picturesque side of life. The police. under , their able prefect, Jean Chiappe, are doing this. They are going through those dark, crooked streets and inspecting the smoke filled rooms of cheap cafes and glorified novels where the self styled bad men, poor imperson- ators of the romantic apaches, | have been drinking their raw wine and doing their scheming.
 A formidable foreign element has gathered in Paris since the war. Many come here because they cannot be comfortable in their own countries. They do not always have passports and iden- tity cards. A great many are ac- lively in touch with interests alien 10 the peace and welfare of France. They have been accus- toned 10 gather in these Mont martre dives.
 Radicals Nervous
 When riots occurred here fol- lowing the execution of Sacco and Nanzetti, many of the ringleaders, outspoken radicals, were traced 10 this district. M. Chiappe lost his patience and ordered a general clean-up. Systematic raids are being conducted and countless ar rests made. with many deporta- tons. \ strange nervousness ex- ists in the byways of Montmartrc and great many favorites, who always looked tough and probably could be on occasions. have disap- peared. Their haunts have lost most of their trade and all their romance.
 The real Bohemians who origi- nally gave Montmartre it's atmos- phere are drifting across the river and making the best of Montpar- nasse. There the prices remain modest and the police are sympa- thetically congenial. The night life of Paris is definitely shifting from one extreme to the other.

WOMEN AND EMPIRE
By SCOTT NEARING.

EERRERO, the Italian historian, once wrote color
full description of Roman Imperialism under the
title of Ihe Women and the Caesars" The book dealt
with some of the leading Roman women, telling Of
their social and political activities and intrigues.
Such women play a role-usually minor one, in en-
pire building Imperial leadership usually falls
First there is the organization Of business Then there
is the organization of Both fields have been pre-
empted by The whole range of economic and poll
teal activity involved in imperial organization is mans
field. History offers indication that women have
attempted to compete in this
Women do the cleaning-up after the structural work
of imperialism is completed They cleaning up in
Germany during the world war; taking the places of
in the factories and the railroads while the latter
dying for Krupp and SHINES. They cleaning

facing winters without employment; rearing under

At the moment the U. S. is the crest of its i'm

relatively high. But if American women will look
forward for dozen of years to the colonial

ultimate breakdown of American imperialism and to

Lynching and Golf In So. Carolina

under his command, and is defyng the higher
courts of the state in his righteous to stop harm
less sport two, He says that he will send every
stable of the state Aiken if necessary to stop the
and arrest the criminals" who driving in
animate ball across the fields there
But this same governor cannot do thing about the
ynchng OF three human beingsone of the most
acts ever committed by against man. Of course,
Mr.. Richards talked big" about what he would, or
But that talk had purposes the whole world had it's eye
on Aiken and South Carolina at that time and the
incoming governor was simply posing for the picture
Those OF us who have had experience with his godfear
ing kind knew that the talk simply for momentary
effect.
The righteous talk" by this governor and also that
by some of the newspapers Of the state had also
other definite purpose: TO KEEP DOWN ANY RISING
SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF AN ANTI-LYNCHING
Law OF CONGRESS-. The objective was to fool the
NORTH and to hoodwink northern papers into saying
The south is all right; they much opposed to that
murder anybody else. Just give them chance" The
north is easily fooled in such cases; they want
to be fooled they like to believe in order escape the
sernness of the realities and to be able to wash their
handsand feel righteous also The religious develop
ment of the world has at least caused want
deceive themselves into feeling righteous. The north
likes to feel "Oh, yes yes we are opposed to lynch
murder all right and would do something to stop it,
if we did not that the south is going to stop it
themselves" And indulge in a lot of mush about
the "libera sentiment" of the SOUTH "the advancing
SOUTH, and other such sleeping potons which they give
themselves in order to escape the inevitable conflict
Governor Richards knows this That other governor who
went out of office, knew it, And both of them in
dulged in lot of religious talk to the public galleries.
until the natural resentment of mankind cooled suff
cientyand they have all settled back await the
next horrible lzlching.
Meanwhile, South Carolina is determined that little
hard rubber balls shall not be driven into certain holes
Sunday, thing which, if wrong at all, could only
be wrong on Sundays. But murder, which is wrong
every day in the week and every minute in every day
about that South Carolina does nothing The governor
is even using as his right-hand in the crusade
against golfers the sheriff. Nollie Robinson, who
also the righthand man of the lynchers.
I born in South Carolina am not boasting; L
just mentioning the fact If South Carolina was not
such savage reality to NegroAmericans, it would be
the worlds best joke.
