PARIS, Jan. 13.-Half of the spies
IN Europe today wear skirts.
Spying is a profession to which
many stenographers aspire, and the
only stock in trade needed is a
stony heart, impervious to love and
flattery. beauty and the face of a
baby doll to throw the police off the
track.
Many of the chiefs Of Europe's
underground espionage services be-
lieve that where secrets of national
defense are to be wormed from
young officers, one black-eyed raw
en-haired beauty can do more good
than a platoon of men, well versed
in the art of drawing Notifications
in invisible ink.
1t is true, also, that other chiefs
feel as strongly the other way.
These hold that no woman is able
to keep a secret in all circum-
stances.
They employe no women spies in
responsible posts.
To take care of other nations
women spies, they use personable
young men.
Love Lure Is Used
These young men seek acquaint-
ances with women spies and make
love to them. The theory is that
when the woman let's herself fall
in love she tells all she knows.
Thus these men use the love lure
precisely as do the women spies.
Spying seems to be more natural
to women than to men, especially
TO women who like intrigue.
Ever since Mata Hari went to
work for Germany during the World
war, and used her art of making
men fall in love with her, she has
been looked upon as queen of the
spies.
True Romance Fatal Mistake
Mata Hari. like other women spies,
made the fatal mistake of falling in
love herself, and before long she
was caught and faced the firing
squad in the moat of Vincennes
castle.
Since Mata Harris passing there
have been other queens" but none
more successful than the pretty DIR.

The Pope's Encyclical

The cncyclieal issued by Pope Plus XI last Thursday constituted one of the most fearless utteranees that the Holy Pontff has ever made. For the moment 1t seemed to daze those critics of what they term Rome and Romanism but 1t wasn't long before re- torts were being hurled with an abandon that generally characterizes all criticism of the Ro- man Catholic Church. For the most part. though the eneyolioal was received with the respect that Pope Plus XI, as head of pow crful force in our civilized world commands Editors all over our country digested its con- tents slowly and carefully that they might rot miss the full intent of each statement made so clear that any man could understand ,e meaning.
 Americans are concluding that the en- yclical was directed at this nation more than It any other. We doubt that. But if it hould trouble more consciences in America han elsewhere we know that His Holiness was correct in his charges. The Roman . Catholic Church has from the beginning pro- ectcd the sanotIty of wedlock and the home. n reaflrmng the church doctrines, century ,d as they arc.

Paul Prentzel

The death of Paul Prentzel takes from the aks one of Waterburys best known citizens n the musical field Although illness has ncpt him from active life since l929 one felt that he still part of the life of the city, ;t least in spirit. Mr Prentzel was familiar figure. and busy man about bis musical pursuits. For sixteen seasons ne brought to Waterbury the finest type of music to be had. No branch of musical entertainment was omitted by Mr Prentzel in his earnest en- deavor to bring Waterbury to the front in appreciation of music.
 h this idea for the promotion of the best in music for the city one has only to look back select few programs at random and SEC bow favored the populace of this city was, and how fortunate they were. In selecting bis artists and musical groups for the season. MT Prentzel spent great amount of time in endeavoring to please all tastes. He liked to talk il over and if you were pleased he was gratfled lie was not averSe to suggestions from others and wanted. first and foremost. 10 please, His selections, though. were usu- ally fortunate ones, and he deviated slightly many times from the conventional concert by bringing for instance. the San Carlo Opera Company the Denishawn Dancers and at one time even favored the city with the great wit Irwin Cobb.
 hasty scanning of programs dating back 10 l92O brings back many delightful musical evenings, and impresses one again with the knowledge that Paul Prentzel did big things for Waterbury in its cultural advancement He brought to us the great Rosa Ponselle. the late Enrco Caruso the former many times John Mccormack, and score of singers of like repute; he brought the Boston Sym phony. the Cleveland Symphony, and many other smaller musical groups; and he intro duced Waterbury to some of the finest instru- menaists, such as Kresler. Heifetz. Rach- mannoff and even the elderly artist of the piano. Vladimir De Pachmann. Mir Prentzel was an earnest teacher. and always the student seeking to improve his own art. No sum- mer passed that he did not spend either in study or travel or both. He gave his time fully to the advancement of music and was an earnest worker always in the profession he chose to follow.

THE PRINCE ON THE WALTZ '' (NeW York World)

The Prince of Wales told a rel ative of the late Johann Strauss that the waltz is the best dance of all, and many will agree with him, for there is q disposition to regard 1t in some mysterious way as finer than other dances; the notion re- minds one of the frequently heard remark that pool is a good game. but billiards is more scientific" And it may be conceded that in the hands of Chopin. Gounod, a Tschaikowsky, a Lehar or a Strauss it is q lovely thing. But to what ex- tent were the waltzes of these gen. tlemen really dances? One can dance to Lehar's Merry Widow straasss Ma 1s sGase ans an Refnaps bat not many of us would like to venture out on the. floor to Strauss's Aus Dem Wienerwald." or Chopin'a waltz in Al flat minor, or Tschaikow. sky's waltz .from "Eugen Onegin," or Tschaikowsky's waltz from "Eu- gen Onegrin,' or Gounod's walt1 from Faust" These things when they are danced, are reserved for professionals, and professionals can make any music suit their ends; some of them have even danced to Beethoven symphonies.
 The rest of us, when we start to dance waltzes, are condemned to music of much flower order; and 1t is a question whether. it is:in any way superior to a good foxtrot! The trouble with the waltz, once it gets on the popular level is that it is susceptible of so many corruptions; as Annie Rooney" the Sidewalks of New York" and "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree' it lent itself to "spieling"; as "Cecile" and the innu- merable limitations thereof it lent it. self to the Boston," the "Hesita- tion." and other such exaggerated forms; in one way or another. it is always ceasing to be a waltz and be- coming something else of dubious gracefulness.
 In other words, the waltz is beau- tiful only when 1t is not waltz when it is an abstraction that sug- gests what it might be if we were all ballet dancers. For practical purposes, most of us will probably do better if we aim at something more suited to our talent.

THE PERPETUAL ASHLEY
(Hartford Times) )

A notable incident of the recent municipal elections in Massachusetts was the reelection of Charles 1T. Ashley as mayor of New Bedford. If it were merely that New Bedford had reelected a mayor that would hardly be worth talking about, but since MT. Ashley has served the whaling city for twenty-five terms the spotlight turns upon him. o
 Mayor Ashley is almost a per- petual mayor. He is 70 years old, mentally and physically active and apparently satisfies his city that he is well fitted to conduct it's affairs. The New Bedford Standard, discuss ing outside comment on the outcome of the election there. says it has fre- quently observed that with Mayor Ashley we virtually have a city man. ager." Some time ago high school debater called upon the editor the Standard, requesting arguments as to why New Bedford should not have a city manager. The editor told him that Ito all intents and purposes the city, while it lacks the form, 1t has the substance of city manager gov ernment."
 According to the contemporary, New Bedford's charter is most archaic, yet under 1t the city "en- joys government very much bet ter" than that enjoyed by many cities with the newest wrinkles in municipal government systems. As

W h ington-The question of
 whether this session of Congress IS
 to become principally an incubator for an early special session of the 72d congress with it's almost evenly divided house and senate now seems to lie largely with a comparatively small group of progressive republic cans and democrats in the senate. This session has all the makings CT fearful jam. so high is the heap of controversial measures and m It. tors for argument. Only a deter
 mined, ruthless effort by nearly all concerned can assure the passage of the supply and appropriation bills which is necessary if a special ses- sion is to be avoided. Escape from the special session would seem to require active cooperation of the group which is most willing to force one. Members of that group, at last accounts, included such pro- gressive republican senators as
 Borah of Idaho, Norris of Nebraska,
 Riaine and LaFollette of Wisconsin, Nye of North Dakota and Brook hart of Iowa, with such democrats aa Wheeler and Walsh of Montana, Caraway of Arkansas. Dill of Wash i1gton and McKellar of Tennessee.

 Speaker Longworth has promised that the house will get through in
 time to make a special session un- necessary, even indicating that there will be a vote on the Norris Muscle Shoals bill and the Norris or Gif- ford lame duck amendment.
 But the situation is such that if the special session is to be avoided virtually every man in the senate
 will have to keep quiet about .he things he is most anxious to talk about. 1t was easy enough to real- iZe the special session possibilities when congress met in December, but half dozen issues have lately be- come so prominent in such a large
 way that the chances have material iy increased. The necessity of a
 great deal of compromising between the administration forces and the extra session group has increased in proportion

A BOOK OF TWO SYLLABLE
 WORDS?
Christian Science Monitor)


 The California state legislature has set nine laymen at the job of studying it's public school problems. And interesting feature of the pro- gress of this survey is the proposal of this commission to issue a tWo- volume report in two-syllable words in order that it may be made easy reading for all the people of the state.
 Will it be difficult - no, that won't do. Will it be hard to get out a report of that length in words of only two syllables? It will not be easy. First they may have to find a synonym for "syllable'-yes. an- other for synonym The use of simple words have long advocated no, urged-by English scholars who have found a tendency-no and three-dollar words when sim press far better and more clearly what was to be said.
