FRENCH QUIT
 NEW SPELLING

Paris.-The movement to simpli- fy French spelling along phonetic lines has just suffered another de- feat.
 For many years, the small and scholarly magazine, Revue Phi lologie Francaise," advocating the simpiified system, published all its articles in this manner, but to-day 1t has returned to the academic orthography. In explaining this change 1t states
 "Without giving up the opinion that academic spelling is incoher- ent and that 1t should be re- formed, we shall hereafter return to that form of spelling.
 The founder of this magazine which formed nucleus for the movement, was the late Leon Cie- dat, former dean of the Faculty or Letters at Lyons and the author or an etymological dictionary. Among the changes that he practised were the substitution of for ph. s for X when such Is the real sound or the letter. the dropping of h in the tn combination of Greek de- rlvatives. and the omission of un- sounded letters.

Cold weather and particularly its snow storms annual ly create a costly hurdle which the New Haven railroad and other roads operating in the northeastern climate must surmount in order that schedules may be properly maintained and passenger and freight service may be continued without interruption. Although the winters of the past four years have been unusually mild, maintaining rail service under severe condi- tions which nre apt to develop In almost any year increases the New Haven's operating expenses by az much as a million and half dol- lars.

Simultaneous ly. 1t published n declarntion plac- ing the responsibility for develop ments in the Chinchow area on tho Chinese.
 The replies to the three powers were not published here. The declaration, however, stated:.
 "So long us officers and men of the Chinchow army mingle in large numbers with bandit groups mnk- ing 1t impossible to distinguish the latter from regular Chinese forces, so long must the responsibility for consequences of any action which may be entailed on the Japanese army in self defense rest entirely with the Chinese"
 Political quarters believed that the Japanese diet might be dis- solved tomorrow.
 The diet voted Thursday to ad- 1ourn until January 20 following the receipt of the imperial rescript, or the empcrors reply on impor- tant questions upon which he has been consulted.
 The rescript will be read to-mor- row, in which Emperor Hirohito will express appreciation of the army's services In Manchuria. He was expected in some quarters to recommend dissolution which would be followed by a general election.

 It was about 2:SO o'clock this morning that Pima attempted to duplicate santa Claus visit. He resides at 240 Abbott avenue, but the police found him proving around n tenement at 220 Abbott avenue insisting that he knew where he was going. His persist ence led to his arrest by Sergeant Henry. Johnson and Patrolman Will liam Dwyer of the police motor patrol. Pima was charged with in- toxlcation and with carrying con cealed weapons.
 AS to the argument that the bull lets in the gun were not of the right type and would not explode Judge John r.

GUEST RIDING
 SUIT RACKET
A. A. A. Cautions Motor. to Avoid Giving Lift to
 Strangers
RIDGE HACKERS ACTIVE

Both as a means of preventing Connecticut motorists from becom- ing victims of the so-called "guest suit" racket and of protecting It's own patronage, the Connecticut company has for many years warned motorists against the prac. tice of picking up ride hackers" or thumb jerkers" who might ap- peal to them for free rides from the sides of the highways. The reasons of the company are that the practice of giving free lifts not only deprlves the transportation facilities of fares, but likewise places the autoist in danger of le- gal suit by the "befriended" rider should the later be injured In an accident.
 Member clubs of the American Automobile association have like- wise continually warned their members against the practice. Re- gently, however the association became distinctly emphatic in urg- ing members not to lend aid to persons seeking transportation, stating through W. c. Bryant. chairman of It's national touring board, that motor clubs affiliated with tho A. A. A. cannot afford to be In any way connected with prao- tlces that may aid racketeering In guest suits nd (which may well in- volve violence to passengers car- ried in strange cars, or to tho own CTS of ears carrying strange pas sengers."
 The guest suit racket, tho asso- ciatlon declares. has of late re- celved impetus from the activities of so-called travel bureaus" of- ferlng to secure more or less free transportation in private cars for persons willing to pay n fee to the bureau. Although laws have been passed in some states, including Connecticut, which to some extent protect the motorlst. the real so- lution to the guest racket rests with the motorists themselves In refusing to pick up strangers.
