MODERN GIRLS
 SHOCK PARENTS

PARIS, March 12. Modern youth is flabbergasting French papas and mammas with new set of party manners.
 Girls of high school age go alone to dances now and they meet there, their dancers" often unknown to the hostess but in- yited at the suggestion of the girls. In definite contrast with their parents, who look askance at foreigners. the girls show de- cided preference for all national tiess of the globe, except their own.
 Instead of the time -honored method of the hostess providing the buffet lunch. each girl brings sandwiches, cake and so forth and the boy is expected to bring a bottle of champagne. That sounds rather wicked for young people but as champagne is ex- pensiye goodly proportion of the boys bring only their own charming selves. Those who bring wine get cheap variety that is first cousin to apple cider and there rarely is an intoxicat- ing quantity.
 Introduetions are getting to be a lost art but if q boy is a good dancer, the girls inquire his name and address and he shortly re- eeives invitations to other parties at houses where i. he has never been.
 The girls scorn the boys their families know and they complete ly upset the old French notion of deeerum which requires q girl to be chapefoned everywhere un- til her debut.

B4FFIN LAND REYElfLS MYSTERY
 OF BLUE GOOSE NESTING PLACE

ANN ARBOR. Mich, March r The story of how the nesting place of the blue goose, mysteri. ous springtime wanderer to the northland, was discovered in lone. iy Baffin Land has been told by Lawrence M Gould of the Uni versity of Michigan.
 Professor Gould was a member of the Putnam Baffin Land expe- dition that last summer sought new fossilization records.
 Unknown to Gould and his par ty, another expedition toiled along through the ice on the other side of Baffin Land. seeking the knowledge that he and his party casually passed by-and which was obtained for science by boy. David Binney Putnam, son of the expeditions leader,
 The blue geese were seen as the party crossed a great swamp of grassy bogs and shallow lakes. While the men trudged along in tent on their mission, young Put nam shot some of the young geese. Later Identification of the skin brought the knowledge that the nesting place of the bird, long a puzzle, had been found,
 The marsh is just below the Arctic Circle and in about the longitude of Albany and New York City.
 To ornithologists and to dwell CTS of the middle section of the United States, the blue goose or "wayey" always has been a bird of mystery. The last of migra- tory waterfowl 10 go north in the spring, their flight sometimes ii broken by a few days delay on deserted sandbars or in wilder ness places. Always, however. they. take flight to the north be- fore nesting time.
 The southward flight is dir- ferenf. High in the air. a thous- and or more yards above gun shot, with wings that stroke the air with an unhurried beat, long broken s'V'' drifts on. This flight has been noted along the cas-. shore of Hudscn Bay. up over the backbone of the Canadian wilder ness. straight across the Great Lakes section and down to the southland and the shores of Louisiana and eastern Texas. It is there that the flocks of blue geese have wintered since bird records have been known. gather ing in uncounted numbers along the waters of the gulf.

 The Cleveland baker boy made his debut in professional fistie circles in Lorain, O., March IS 1924. and handed Wild Bill Reed of Columbus, O.. a heavy defeat in 10 rounds. Since then Risko has engaged in GA bouts, steadily climbing the ladder through his ability to endure an almost un believable amount of punishment and to get in some heavy blows himself.
 He knocked down and came within a hairs breadth of knock ing out Paul Berlenbach in New York when Paul was light heavy weight champion. But Risko lost caste in New York when he was defeated by Young Stribling and Mike McTigue.
 Returning to Madison Square Garden last fall however, he whaled Pauline Uzcudun, the Spaniard, in one of the most grill ing heavyweight battles of re- cent years. Pauline had been better than to favorite. so that Risko's victory brought him to the forefront among the heavy weight contenders.
 Entering the professional ring with an amateur record of 8 vic tories in 59 fights during 1922 and 1923, Risko knocked out seven op- ponents during his first year as professional and lost only one bout. During 1925. his second year in the professional ring, he scored five knockouts, won two decisions in 10 rounds, and lost to Gene Tunney, Jack Sharkey, Jack Renault and Sully Montgomery.
