Many Night Bathers
At French Resorts

Moonlight baths are becoming al
most as popular as sunbaths at Eu-
ropean resorts this summer. The
only people who have objected are
casino proprietors, who expect tour
lists to spend their time at the green
tables after the sun has gone down
and everyone has dined.
At Deauville, Trouville and other
resorts within easy distance of Paris,
the casinos have rarely been crowd
ed this summer on the few warm
moonlit nights the weather man has
provided. The beaches, on the 9TH
er hand, formerly left to the waves
at night, have been crowded with
bathers, ukulele players and singers.

While not all caterpillars have this
effect nor all children are equally

Medical experts say the skin erup-
ton Is caused by the hooked end of
caterpillar hairs embedded in the
skin. The accompanying fever is
caused by the worms pungent ex-

French Artists Bar
Scandal in Movie Careers

Society scandal Is no longer to be
regarded as a sure path to the
screen by French Aim performers.
A licensing system controlled by the
Union of Artists aims at barring the
road to movie fame to those who
try to capitalize scandal.
In other ways the movie actors
seek to clean up the profession and
crowd out foreigners. Only French,
French-speaking Swiss and Belgians
and those who served In the French
army are eligible to q license. A
regular catalogue of licensed screen
actors, with their experience and an
indication of their ability. is to be
kept for producers.

Rach's Last Work

musical composition was performed
for the first time. The hitherto for

the Fugue," was given premiere
rendition III years after Bach's
death in st. Thomas in Leipsic
where Bach for q years played the
organ and led the choir.
Wolfgang Graeser. now twenty
one, discovered the work five years
ago. Bach investigators failed to no.
tice that 1t was the piano score of
something intended to be a monu

to work to write an orchestra score
as he imagined Bach would have
written 1t. The effect was over

Germany, who flocked to Leipsic to
attend the first-night, pronounce the
Art of the Fugue" the greatest ex-

the end of the round, evening up the
score.
Round Seven
Jack Dempsey's effort to wrest the
championship from Tunney was near
ly realized when after a few seconds
hard fighting he slipped his famous
left to Tunney's jaw and right to
the body. Tunney dropped but hung
on to the ropes while the referee doled
off the seconds to nine when he again
arose to his feet and despite Demp-
sey,s effort to finish him, held on un-
til the bell ended the round.
Round Eight
After a few seconds of hard fight
ing Tunney shot a right to Dempsey's
Jaw which dropped him to his knees
for the count of one, when he again
took his fighting pose. But the blow
apparently slowed him up and in this
round Tunney started the cut over
Dempsey's eye which gradually grew
worse as the fight progressed.
Round Nine
Again Tunney took the initiative
and time and again used his one-two
TO Dempsey's head without a return
Jacks eyes were getting in bad shape
from the constant bombardment of
leTt and right jabs to the head and
while he fought gamely on, it was
plainly seen that his vision was i'm
paired.
Round Ten
Dempsey tried early in the round
TO close in on Tunney but was met
by the rapid fire of lefts and rights
which had by this time nearly closed
ooth eyes. Tunney continued a RIGHT
and left bOmbardment in the homes of
getting a knockout, but the great
Jack Dempsey stayed on and fought
with the ferocity of a fearless fight
sr until the bell sounded ending the
