COnquer0r's Seal
 Found After POO Years

After q disappearance lasting 200 years, the seal of William the Con- queror. which originally was attach ed to the Charter of Liberties grant, ed to the City of London, has been found at the Guildhall.
 The clerk of the records of the corporation, while examing other relics of London's hectic past. identi- fled fragments of the long-lost seal and fitted them together. The center of the seal, however, is all that re- suited.
 The seal shows the conqueror rid ing at gallop. clad in hauberk of chain mail worn over tunic. In his right hand he holds a lance. from which waves a pennon of three streamers. In his left hand he grasps a shield. On the reverse of the seal he is depicted on a backless throne, crown on his head. in his right hand sword and in his left a globe surmounted by cross.
 The charter of liberties is very short, consisting after the greeting. only of: And I declare to you that ] will that ye be of all the laws worthy that ye were in King Ed wards day. And I will that every child be his fathers heir after his fathers day and I will not suffer that any man offer you any wrong. God keep you"

Sees New Era of Racing Prosperity

A new era of prosperity for the turf was predicted by Lord D'Aber- non, president of the Thoroughbred Breeders association, at the annual meeting of the organization here.
 This was taken as reply to re- cent reports that horse racing inter- ests feared decrease in betting and attendance because of the tremend- ous popularity of greyhound racing which has swept the country this year.
 It was somewhat the fashion to- day, Lord D'Abernon asserted, to be pessimistic with regard to the future of racing, but he preferred to turn his attention to the achievements of the last 12 months which seems to presage a period of stable prosperity on foundation more solid and more logical than any which the breeders had hitherto enjoyed.
 Lord D'Abernon said the desire of rich and powerful communities to possess the best racing horse waxed rather than waned, and in this con- nection he quoted Bismarck as once having said: 50 long as racing re- mains popular among the masses of England. there will be no danger of communism there."

Night dying. air mail service, is planned In France, patterned after the American and German systems.
 Eleven diverging lines from Paris to all parts of the country would be cut by four transverse lines.

 Private enterprise for the opera ton of the planes is suggested as the most desirable by the government postal engineers who have mapped out the routes, counted the probable cost and are furnishing ammunition to packers of the idea in parliament. The eovernment. however, would re- tain supervisory control over the service. Ar postage. it Is calculated, need be only double ordinary rates for letters to make the venture self supporting.

British Peer Becomes
 NeighbOrhOOd Butcher

Britain's first peer butcher has opened his shop in the butter market in Ipswich. He will specialize in pork.
 Lord Cranworth is owner of the business. As he owns farm near Grundisburgh. Suffolk, he aims to cut out the middleman's profit for the benefit of his customers. All produce sold in the lords butcher shop will be grown on the farm, and if the business succeeds vegetables and dairy goods may be added.
 Other titled persons who have re- gently adopted straight from the farm" methods with the view of eliminating the middlemen are Countess De la Warr, who personally supervises the business side of q milk business in Sussex, and Lord Hamilton of Dalzell also dairyman.

Small Flats Doom Large Style Paintings

~A00 csSNS ~ss@s>s0s Large pictures are no longer in demand chiefly on account of the increasing popularity of small houses and fats.
 This was illustrated at a Christie sale when Sir Frank Dicksee's Royal Academy picture "Evangeline," :" which sold six years ago for f237. was auctioned for f73.
 The painting is 6 feet { inches by 1 feet inches and was painted when Sir Frank, president of of the Royal Academy. was 26 years old. and was the academy success of 1879. Another of Sir Franks works Two Crowns" brought f2.000 in 1900 when it was purchased for the Tate galleries.
 Art critics declare that if "Evange- line" had been half or a quarter of it's size 1t would have sold for a great deal more.
 The art critics here say that taste in art changes every 25 years or 50 and that when particular style is out of fashion both the good and the bad of that styles suffer equally. An other factor is the generally low prices for all kinds of contemporary pictures. Large pictures of any kind are now difficult to dispose of be- cause few persons have wall space on which to hang them.

Followera of Rene Descartes, the great French philosopher, are deter mined to have him buried in the Pantheon. If they can't bury his bones they insist they will inter one of his books in the building intended to be the national Mausoleum of Frances great men.
 Finding the philosophers bones appears to be difficult. His body was brought from Stockholm, where he died in 1850, but there is doubt about where 1t is. During the French Revolution the Convention ordered his burial in the Pantheon but the

Berlin, Jan. II. M-For the first time within the memory of concert goers, the musicians of the state opera orchestra have refused to get upand share tn the ovation given their director. This action was . pro- test against the new custom of ad. vertising the subscription concerts solely by the names of the conduc. tors. &
 For over hundred years the sub- scription concerts offered by the symphony ensemble of the Prussian opera vera known as "Konzerte der Staats-Kapelle." The conductor was mentioned only in ~ sublime. as were also the soloists.
 This tradition has been dtscarded. The concerts now go by the names of the two conductors of the series. Al "Klemperer Concerts" and "Kler- Der Concert" The orchestra feels slighted.

Would liar Smoking In Movie Thcatt.rs


 / Smoking in movie theaters has been forbidden as dangerous in Lyons. Rouen and other cities and may be barred in Paris.
 The danger of fire and panics are told by Commandant Georges Cues net. president of the Firemen's As sociation of France. in an open let ter to the Prefect of Police. He cites four recent fatal fire panics in veri- GUS countries to make his point.
 Women, he adds, say little but al- most unanimously condemn theater smoking because ''cold smoke" set- ties on their gowns and furs and the stale odor sticks.
 In Paris. at present, all movie houses and many theaters permit smoking. Fire engineers criticize the practice here, particularly, because most of the theaters are old and few have exit facilities that meet modern scientific requirements.
