Houses of Iron, Old
| Boilers, Shelter Two
Old Women Of Paris

PARIS. Pl--Iron homes house two
old women of Paris. Their houses are
boilers. They are big discarded boilers
from which the tubes have been worn
out.
In these solid, one-room homes the
two old women have lived for six years,
keeping house in primitive way but
scornirig charity. One of thn boilers
lis square, making a room about feet
long, 5 feet wide, but only 4 feet high.
The other is an obsolete style of tubu-
lar boiler, about the same size. Stoves
have been installed in them. Boxes
are cupboards. Gunnysacks cover the
cracks left by lean-to wooden doors.
Food is obtained by little foraging
at the public markets. The women
say they have no expenses for they are
old and expect their clothes to last as
long as they do, with little repairing
for which they have plenty of time.

German National Flag
Not ALloWed to Float
On Munich's City Hall

BERLIN (H9 - The city fathers of
Munich won't nave anything to do
with the federal republican flag. Only
the state emblem of Bavaria and the
city flag of Munich may be flown from
it's nasts on festive occasions.
This unusual ban on the country's
color came as the climax to a row be-
tween monarchists and socialists in
the board of aldermen A motion was
up for discussion by which the city
hall was to be adorned by four flags
the old monarchist, the new republican,
the state and the city
THE socialists voted to strike out the
monarchiSt colorS. The majority sup
ported them. In huff, the monarch
lists then proposed to bar the republican
colors also. There were enough staunch
states rights" aldermen even among
the republican middle to carry this
motion also.
Newspapers in northern Germany
now ask ironically whether Bavaria is
still to be considered part of Ger
many.

SNUFF-T HABIT
GROWING In ENGLAND

LONDON. R-The habit of snuff
taking by women is growing rapidly
in England, not only among the poor
and middle classes, but in society
too, A prominent snuff manufac-
turer says IS per cent Of the snuff
now sold is bought by women
1t 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 pinch which they find
a means for clearing their nostrils
from fluff which arises as they bend
over their work
With society women it is different
for they take it secretly. They never
admit the habit, but there is a wide
spread demand for fancy boxes which
are carried in the same vanity bag
as the powder puff and lip stick.

Ex.Kaiser Will Never
Return to Germany As
Long as Republic Lives

BERLIN. Up - So long as
there is a republic in Germany,
Elk Kaiser Wilhelm II won't
return to his native land, even
though all legal restrictions
barring him be removed. This
opinion was expressed by Lieut..
General Van Cramon in the
course of the public discussion
over extending the Defense of
the Republic act.
"The whole discussion" he
says, "as to whether the kaiser
may or will return to Germany
is absolutely futile. So long as
Germany holds to the republi-
can form of state he cannot and
will not come back.
"The kaiser takes the posi-
ton that he was dethroned
against his will and renounced
the throne under duress. Were
he today to request the Ger
man government to permit him
to visit Germany, or we're he,
in case the ominous restriction
be removed, to return to his
fatherland, this would be tan
tamount to his recognizing the
republican government as such
and to his renouncing all his
rights voluntarily"
