SPORTS AND SOCIETY

Sport has got so badly mixed up with society that many young society men are even wear ing half-starched polo collars with their din- ner jackets.
 It's the svar that did 1t! That terrible war! Nothing has been quite right since the war. so the dictators of mems fashion megaphone from Bond and Regent streets.
 Purity in evening clothes Is now being ad- vocated by conservative fashion creators who are trying to prevent men from departing from the good old standards of the pre-war gentle man.
 Don't wear a black evening tie with white edge. Don't wear white evening tie with a black edge Don't wear trousers that are too large. Don't wear an evening coat with vel vet collar. Don't wear socks with any color in them. Don't wear white waistcoats made out of fancy materials.
 These are some of the warnings makers for real gentlemen are issuing to prospective pur- chasers of evening attire.

S0V|ETS CURTAIL
 CATHOLIC CHURCH
Shortage Of Priests Makes Cut
 in Parishes

London, GUP).-How extensively Soviet Russia has curtailed the ac- tivities of the Catholic church is described by The Universe, a prom inent Catholic weekly here. The hos tile attitude of the Czars in other days created nothing worse than the conditions now prevailing, the paper states, and adds that there is only one priest to every 5000 Catholics and the groups are kept too poor to repair churches and build sem inaries.
 There are no archbishops or bish- ops, as all have been expelled" The Universe says.
 Tn 1925 the Catholic population in Russia numbering between 1,595,- 900 and 1,S0o,O00, consisting of Poles, Germans, White Russians, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, etc. The number of priests Is reduced to 400 for the 600 churches still in ex- istence, but they have no legal status, posses no religious freedom of action, as the Soviet Government puts the greatest obstacles in their way as to the religious education of the children and the administra- tion of the Sacraments.
 No book containing the name of God is allowed, no Catechism or Catholic newspaper permitted, no foreign priest has access to the country. The training of native clergy is impossible as there is no seminary left. The Catholic congre- gations are too poor to maintain the upkeep and repairs of the churches.
 "The lamentable shortage of priests may be gathered from the following items. In Northern Rus sia one priest is in charge of five parishes covering an area the size of Iitaly, England and Scotland combined, whilst in Asiatic Russia there is only one priest for the whole of Russian Turkestan. three times the size Of the United Kingdom.
 The Archdiocese of Moghilev. which formerly numbered s34,SS5

B0YHOOD LOVE AFFAIR
This, According to Gossip, Inspired Marconi into Discovery of Wire less Communication.

London, Jan. 29.-(UP)-The love that laughs at locksmiths and hurdles the rebuffs of unsympathetic parents was the motive that gave the world wireless telephony. Guglielmo Marconi, discoverer of that great science, tacitly admitted in speech before the foreign press association.
 The legend that long since has grown about the inventor has always been that Marconi, when boy of 19, fell in love with a girl, whose mother was Irish and who sternly forbade any communication between the pair, Vainly, Marconi sought to smuggle notes to the girl. Then he attempted to wave a handkerchief according to a code they had agreed upon. The invention of the wireless was said to have followed.
 Guests at the luncheon asked Mar conf to tell how he happened to ex- pertinent with wireless telephony in 1893, when he was only 19.
 T can only say thought of wire less because I wanted to communi- cate with someone with whom I could not otherwise communicate" he said. T sought means of com- munication that was not dependent upon weather, fog or sun, as the ordinary visual signals. That was six years before England France were connected by wireless communica- tion."
 But he refused to say whether or not he referred to his boyhood love affair. T just don't want to start any love story" he answered smilingly.

NEW THEORY ABOUT < EVOLUTION OF LIFE
Colorado Professor Comes Out
 With Own Ideas

e Denver, Colo, Jan. 29. (UP)-All present ideals of medicine and biolo- gy will be upset if "Symbionticism, ' the new theory of evolution ad- vanced by Dr. Ivan E. Wallin, pro- lessor of anatomy at the University of Colorado, proves true.
 Following seven years of research, Dr. Wallin says he has come to the conclusion that Darwin and his fol- lowers, in their theory of evolution overlooked the presence of bacteria in all living cells. Dr. Wallin de- elares he has proven to his own sat isfaction that these bacteria grow and that it was their change in size and shape throughout the centuries which caused humans as well as plants to evolve from earlier and simpler forms.
 Dr. Wallin's theiry, if it proves ac- ceptable to the scientific world. will necessarily throw into the discard eDarwin's explanation of evolution on the basis of the survival of the fit- test and natural selection.
 Time alone will tell whether l em right" pr. Wallin said. T have proved the theory to my own satis- faction and if I am right it will revolutionize medicine and biology"
 Biologists in 1890, Dr. Wallin ex- splained, discovered small granules in the cells of all animals and plants. Some believed at the time that the granules were bacteria but the idea was lated abandoned and the gran ules came to be looked upon as in- animate condensations of cellular fluid
 After long series of experiment. ation with the granules, Dr. Wallin decided that they were at least similar to bacteria. Later eyperi- ments he conducted caused the granules to grow and change in shape, proving conclusively, he de- clared, that they really were bac- teria.
 When introduced into living cells, these bacteria caused the formation. in many cases, of new tissues and organs, thus pointing to the view that men might have grown up from an original group of cells which de- ysloped into . human being through

LESS INTEREST IN WILLIAM

Interest in the fate Of former Emperor WIZ Ham II is steadily waning in Potsdam, inquiry among those who were once active at the im- perial court has revealed. Of the former Pots dam entourage the only ones who at times continue to make pilgrimages to the former kaiser at Doorn are the two Counts von Flnck- ensten, of whom the one was formerly con- mander of the Hunters Guards, the other of the Sharpshooters' Guards; General von Tzir- sky who in peace times was commander of the Third Uhlan Guards; and General von Dom- mes.
 Even so intimate former friend of the Hohenzollerns as Col Gen. von Plessen has visited Doorn but once, remaining there for three days Other members of the entourage seem to have lost all interest in their former imperial lord.

GERMANS TIP GENEROUSLY

German tourists scatter tips into the palms of Parisian servants with just as much careless generosity as Americans, according to Garcon. the well-known French waiter. Shiings do not burn holes in an Englishman's pockets with anything like the rapdity with which marks and dollars slip away from sightseers, the waiter says.
 No, I wouldn't even rank the Englshman third when it comes to tipping, he added. "First I would put the Germans and Ameri- cans, then the rich Frenchman-who is rare bird thees days-and after him the English man."

PEPPY OLD MAIDS

Poppy little old maids are the best office workers in the eyes of Professor Irving K. Garland, efficiency expert The modern fap- per is scarcely 50 per cent efficient, 1t is fig ured, for one reason because she thinks so much about her clothing. her beau. and pow dering her nose.
 The old maid once settled in spinsterhood is not bothered by these details, says Professor Garland. She has passed the days when cloth ing is the all important question, and in most cases has trained herself to think of other things than men, dress and pleasures after working hours. This quite naturally increases her usefulness to her appreciative employer. he says

GAMBLING PROFITABLE

Gambling was profitable to the French treasury in 1926, however costly it may have been to the players themselves. Receipts from the taxation of the casinos to be found in every seaside or mountain resort were 252,- 000,000 francs, or about S10,S00,000.
 Casino profits showed huge increase over those of 1925, totalling SS0.000.000 france, as compared with 250OOO.OOO for that year. The Deauville casino led the list with a profit of 44653,000 francs, about s1,7S6.000.

OBSERVE LAWS EASILY

 i The Frenchman takes much the same light hearted attitude toward personally restrictive laws do many other peoples.
 When Premier Poincare set out to save the franc he ordered restaurants not to offer more than four meat or fish dishes to their patrons and limited the diner to two such dishes. For a few weeks the restaurants scratched out the balance of their long lists of meats. The waiter, when pressed. admitted the lines were 'gestures," and one could have anything one wanted. Now censored list is seldom seen and few places, even small ones, observe the limit of four.

CARPENTER EARNING MONEY

Georges Carpenter is learning the money difference between flirting with a worlds championship in the ring and trying to be an actor.
 The record in vaudeville salaries is likely to go to the fighter. but there will be a vast gap between three million francs for being beaten up in the ring by Dempsey and about five thousand francs a night for amusing music hall audiences, while sweating under a wig and In satin court brooches.
 Carpenter has so much confidence In his drawing power that he exacted one-eighth of the receipts rather than a salary, but as the house usually plays to capacity, his share is calculated at not much over 5000 francs a night the amount received by Mistinguett who formerly was credited with having "the most beautiful legs in the world"
