Suzanne Lenglcn Collecting Stamps

Suzanne Lenglen, once the unde- feated woman tennis champion of the world. now at Nice, has turned to collecting stamps.
 In company with her American manager, Suzanne is now a daily visitor to the principal stamp marts as she plays tennis-not concentrat- ing on any one spot but generally keeping her opponent guessing. She is just as likely to buy Monaco stamp because she likes the colors as she is to buy an old Russian stamp because it is rare.

Say Dog Vaccination Reduces Rabies

Vaccination of dogs has done much to stamp out rabies. it was agreed by scientists attending re- cent rabies congress at the Pasteur Institute.
 Japan, Italy and the United States it was said, had vaccinated several hundred thousand dogs. The results have shown that dogs so treated de- veloped rabies in only 8 small per- centage of the cases. This vaccina- tion. however. is said to give only temporary protection. It must be repeated every year to be effective.

WANTS LINDY ID JOIN THE NAVY
Admiral Burrage Starts Good
 Natured Campaign

Aboard U. s. S. Memphis, June II HS-Admiral Burrage. who brought Colonel Lindbergh from Cherbourg to Washington on the cruiser Mem phls, has started a good natured campaign which he hopes, he says, may result in the aviator sooner or later becoming navy man. In other words the admiral, with the coop- eratlon of his chief of staff, Captain David w. Bagley. and Captain Henry F. Lackey. the warship's command ing officer, have been conniving to 'steal Captain Lindbergh from the Missouri National Guard.
 Admiral Burrage makes no secret of his plans. He has told the flier in so many words that he'd like to see him i'll the navy as this branch of the fighting service of Uncle Sam's forces is very eager to gain the serv- ices of men of Colonel Lindbergh's type.
 Your exploit of being the first to fly the Atlantic alone" said Admiral Burrage to the aviator on the way over. has most assuredly set a fine example. as you we'll know, and as the world well knows. and the navy is certainly for you."
 If the navy department should reject you," chuckled the admiral, then come to me and we'll see what can be done. know the Missouri National Guard would De very much put out if the navy should get you, but it's dog-eat-dog you know nowa- days. with competition on every hand, and if we should win I will send my condolences to the Mis- sourians and promise you shore leave every now and then so that you may go out to visit your friends in the Iron Mountain state so they won't forget you.'
 Colonel Lindbergh was absolute. ly non-committal as to his future, nor would he intimate what he thought of the proposal, but he as. sured the admiral that the compif- ment was fully appreciated and that he might avail himself of the offer if he ever needed a job.

Even Roman Women
 In London Had COrnS

Roman women who lived in Lon- don 1890 years ago suffered from corns on their feet just as some Of the society butterflies of Mayfair do today.
 Evidence of this has been dis covered in an excavation for a build ing near the Bank of England. The sole Of d dainty Roman shoe. on which the mark of corn at the base of the little toe can clearly be seen, was unearthed. The sole is web worn, rather thin, but as delicately shaped as any in Bond street win- dows today.

Snun-Taking Habit Growing in England

The habit of snuff-taking by wom- en is growing rapidly in England, not only among the poor and mid dle-classes, but in society too. A prominent snuff manufacturer says 65 per cent of the snuff now sold is bought by women.
 It is most prevalent among the cotton workers in Lancashire mills and girls and women can be seen handing their snuff boxes to each other for 2 pinch which they find a means for clearing their nostrils from fluff which arises as they bend over their work.
 With society women 1t Is differ ent. for they take 1t secretly. They never admit the habit but there is a widespread demand for fancy boxes which are carried in the same vanity bag as the powder puff and lip stick.

The posts held by these men are Of very old standing, and in the sixteenth century the holders were glad to rely on the cast-off clothing of the actors for their dress. At that time Drury Lane was the Theater Royal. and actors being the Kings servants. had to wear the royal livery, which was green colored. The two stage hands were dubbed by their colleagues green coats' and the name has en- dured to this day.

Gets Ideas From
Audiences.

CCREEN audiences have furnished
Lon CLANCY the material for some
Of his strangest disguises and, by an
odd paradox, the characters that draw
audiences to theaters to see his new
delineations are really characters born
of those same audiences.
This is an odd little secret that
CLANCY disclosed during the filming
Of "Mockery." In this picture he
wears one Of his strangest disguises
as a clodlike moujik, or Russian peas
ant, thrust, through a trick of fate,
into the red midst of the revolution.
II saw him in little Russian thea
ter" said CLANCY, explaining how he
conceived the idea for the strange
peasants make up he wears in the
new picture. I'm fact, I have found
theaters, especially the smaller mo-
tion picture theaters, among the best
places in the world to study charac.
ters.
Il like to slip into a little movie
house in a Mexican district, or an ltal.
ian district, for instance, or in the
Russian settlement in San Francisco,
and watch the faces. Here one gets
some Of the best types in the world
to be worked out later in makeup.
San Francisco's Chinatown is another
remarkable source Of ideas for char
acters.''

scenes Of the production. Gilks was

Karyl Norman's $ Verdict.

KARYL NORMAN, female imper.
senator, whose vaudeville sketch,
Creole Fashion Plate" is a colorful
act, is famous for his stage costumes.
Few women, it is declared, have as inn
peccable taste In apparel as Mr.. Nor
man and he invariably manages to be
distinguished without losing indi.
vidualism.
Mr.. Norman spent the past Summer
in paris, where he collected a new and
extensive wardrobe for his vaudeville
tour
"It takes the French to create
clothes" says the actor, but the
American women to show them off.
Il think American women are the
best dressed in the world. Being
1.-the, vital and athletically inclined,
they have developed the erect carriage
and poise necessary to carry on beau
tiful clothes.
"One can always pick out the
American women in a European city.
She seems trimmer, more meticulously
arrayed, less languorous than her
European sister. Her trimness is
often the result of her slavery to
fashion. For American women, more
than any others, are absolute adher-
ents to the rules Of good taste in
clothes as set forth by smart fashion
periodicals and modistes. European
women are more Independent"

Another figure that fingers in the
dim lights as one OF the irreproach-
able gentlemen of the theater is that
of Bruce McRae. He held a distinct
position and lofty one without as
serting any of the artifices of bois-
ferrous publicity. Many said he
ought to be star. His peculiar
talents were best displayed in i'm
personating chivalrous man in
scenes with feminine roles. And
upon the billboards, as upon the
stage, he was quite content to yield
precedence always to woman. He
was better than many a star. He
was true favorite and won regard
without seeking to compel it with
artificial blare.

vindicated by the complete return
to ancient classic models of the
dance. Where there was one Isador
Duncan there are now apparently
thousands on each Winters musical
stage, but not one of them the Isador
Duncan.
