BrOwn Bread Eaters
Defend Fad Vigorously

LONDON R-Brown- breeders and
white breeders are having a duel to
the death in the British Isles.
F, Sir Arbuthnot Lane and his health
society are the champions of whole
wheat bread The perpetually youth
full Fannie Ward has also cast her
lot with the anti-whiteS.
Fannie says she doesn't eat any
bread, but if she did it would GER
tainly not be white.
The millers of the British Isles are
furious about the brown bread cam
paign as charges have been made
that the vitannins of class B are
bleached out of white flour.
Sir George Newman, the chief med
ical officer of the ministry of health,
and a number of other prominent
physicians have aligned themselves
with the white breaders. Sir George
says the extravaganza claims put forth
on behalf of brown bread are uncon-
vincing and of trifling Importance, as
the all essential point is that each
person get a proper allowance of
vitamins. in his entire diet. Sir
Thomas Horder, a celebrated British
physician, takes similar ground.

coat, and the wearing of dress suit
encourages gentler and more civilized
conduct" says Mr. Weddell. But this
great authority on male attire is all
against the dinner coat. He says fat
men like it because they do not look
so ridiculous in it as they do in
long-tailed evening coats, but he
warns that it is almost negligee and

Earlier Settlement
Where Berlin Stands

BERLIN up Numerous prehistoric
relics found under the former royal
library by Workmen restoring the pile
frame on which the buildings fOun-
dalton was built point to- the exist
ence Of some earlier settlement ON
the site Of the present city Of Berlin.
These relics, believed to be thousands
of years old, comprise the bones 81
unknown species Of animals and
specimens of unadorned pottery
Berlin was originally erected on g
swamp and even today vast peat bogs
are under some of the city's princi-
bal streets. It therefore became nee
essary, even as late ais the 18th cen
tury, when Frederic the Great built
the royal library, to construct the
foundation Of larger structures on
pile-frames of hundreds Of huge tree
trunks driven into the bog until they
were entirely flooded by the water
Through the rapid sinking OF the sub
terranean water lever within the last
few centuries, however, the pile frame
under the library was exposed and
started to rot, thereby causing the
foundation to give way and threaten
Inc the massive building with col
lapse. s
n the course Of restoring the
library's pile-frame, relics Of 9 by
zone age were found in the bog III
such numbers as to give palaeontolo-
gists and archaeological 2 new lncen-
tive for assiduous research. Mean
While it is believed that so many re-
mains Of animals found in COM
paratively small, circunlscribed area
point to some catastrophe OF nature
that killed all these animals about
the same time, whereas the pottery
specimens are considered proof OF 2
community of fairly civilized human
beings having existed at remote
age on the spot where Berlin now
stands.

Fathers Plea Saves Young Foreign Legion Desertey
BERLIN FIRE FIGHTERS
PRAISED BY AN EXPERT

BERLIN R)-Berlin fire fighters
are in the front rank Of great pro-
fession, said Robert Manner, honorary
deputy chief Of the New York fire
department, in a conversation with q
representative Of the Associated Press.
Manner, known as the millionaire
fire buff" has been visiting his
friend, Chief Commissioner walter
Gempp of the Berlin fire brigade.
His idea Of a holiday has been to
go out at any hour OF the day or
night with the firen1en when the
gong sounds an alarm.
There seems little to choose be-
tween New York and Berlin firenen
in the matter of smart turnout,
Manner thinks. He timed his hosts
with stop-watch and caught them
running up 11O-foot sectional lad
der in one minute and 10 seconds
after coming around the corner Of
block. The New Yorker called that
pretty good
In the matter of equipment the
visitor said that he considered Ber-
Inns system of sectional ladders pref
cradle to the hook and ladder trucks
of New York, which on account of
their length make it a perilous opera
ton to steer them around street
corners on wet pavemeHts. He would
like to see the Berlin sectional ladders
tried out in New York congested dis
tricts where old construction makes
many dangerous flare-ups.
Berlin's m thod Of combating
flames is to use a foam which Main
ger says has been used only by pri-
vate concerns in the United States,
such as oil plants. In Berlin it IS
frequently applied to ordinary fires
with great success, Commissioner
Gempp told the New York expert.
Manner is on his first visit to
Germany since the war and he was
impressed by the way the German
fire fighters have taken to- sports.
Between alarms they no longer sit
around playing cards but 60 In for
football, tennis, handball ana other
sports.
The only fault Manner found with
Berlin fire fighting, he said, is .
lack of cooperation on the part OF
traffic police. He declared his ex-
perience with the police permitting
street traffic to interfere with the
progress Of the fire trucks made his
hair stand on end.

FEWER NOVELS READ
BY MODERN PUBLIC

PARIS R-Modern life, with it's
automobiles, golf, dancing and sun
baths may be good for the health Of
the nation, but it's hard on authors,
says Henri Duvernois, himself a noted
journalist and author of note.
The public, he finds, has too many
distractions, and reads fewer and
fewer ronances and works of liter
allure. AS result, sales have fallen
off, and with them, royalties. Many
promising author has turned from
the pen to more remunerative pur-
suits.
The fault, however, is not entirely
with the public, M Duvernois finds.
He thinks that publishers, if they
would cheaper editions and place
them within the means of all, would
find that the people of small means
would snap them up eagerly and thus
help literature to maintain it's place
among the arts.

Sun Struck Hen Lays
More Eggs Than Well

MARKEN RASEN, England P)-
The latest method of getting hens to
lay is to afflict them with sunstroke.
F. Parker, of this city, has hen
which was affected by sunstroke
when about month old.
Since it has grown up it has been
laying two eggs at a time an average
of four days week and on two
occasions has laid three.
Recently the other hens on the
roost resented this infringement OF
union rules, and began attacking the
hen.
Mr.. Parker separated the hen from
the other hens and since then she has
been laying II and IL full-size eggs

Mayfair Boosts Sale OF
Good Luck" Charms

LONDON (P-Mayfair society has
taken to a good luck magic spell"
craze with a vengeance The fad has
been borrowed from the coal mining
districts where potent charms have
been in demand as tokens against
misfortune for many generations, not
only among children but by their
fathers and mothers as well.
The public demand and faith in
superstitious charms was condemned
recently by Prof A. G. Clark Of
Edinburgh university, before the Brit
ish Medical association, but this has
only stimulated the craze, it appears
from reports from various parts OF
the country.
In 20 London districts, including
Mayfair, Highgate and Hampstead
and other residential parts of the
metropolis, bead necklaces are looked
upon as safeguards against colds and
bronchitis, and are supposed to bring
good luck, especially in bridge and
other games of chance.
The beads in demand just now are
blue, light or dark, but white, yellow
and green beads are also used, more
or less. Beads of this kind may be
bought for a few pennies, and are
in particular demand among the
poorer classes, and must be worn for
all time. If taken off even for a
moment, the superstitious believe, the
charm vanishes in jiffy.
