have been raided repeatedly by
the RAF.
A joint admiralty and war Of
flee communique said the occu-
patton was carried out Tuesday.
Naval circles described the oper-
alton as a very small and un-
important" one, undertaken chief
~ to get possession of the islands
seaplane base.
Although the operation thus was
played down officially, naval quar-
ters did not deny that Castelrosso,
only 80 miles east of Rhodes, could
be used as a British jumping-off
place for attacks on other stra-
tegic Dodecanese guarding the en-
trance to the Aegean sea.
Garrisons on the Dodecanese, de-
clared cut off from supplies from
Italy except by airplane, are re-
ported short in many essentials.
Naval circles said the seizure did
not necessarily mean the British
were going to use it in future oper-
ations, but rather that they did
not want Italy to have it. They
emphasized that tn Castelrosso
seaplane base was possible "men-
ace" to Alexandria n d British
shipping in the eastern Mediter-
ranean. l

growing hungry. The Sultan was growing good
and mad.
Finally he decided to take steps. He broke
down the bathroom door After that striking out
with his mighty arms, he grabbed at the bathtub
BY main force he tore it right out of its cement
foundation tore it free and clear of its pipes and
then he turned it upside down, splling perfume and
water
Roaring with rage he pinned the poor girl
underneath. But, as he pinned her her foot and
her arm protruded. These geefully, still roaring,
he trod into the floor
The girl cried out in pain and terror Then she
tainted.
At once, of course, people came running. There
were poundings on the door And when the private
police finally freed the unconscious girl and carried
her TO the ambulance, all the oldtimers agreed that
never had the like happened at Vichy before.
And now" said my friend, Madame D"

What did he say" I asked.

The French authorities decided that much as
they would like to entertain their prisoner at their
smartest watering place, the sharp air seemed to
sharpen his appetite too much So they decided
TO move him into less stimulating environment.

a carload of fountain pens. Stub pens, they were,
with great, thick stubs
The nations educators scratched their heads
when they those pens. There were enough
pens land more comng) to equip every child in
Hungary with stub fountain pen. But, If these
pens were made standard school equipment, 1t
meant that the entire writing system in the Hun
garian public schools would have to be abolished.
And new writing system, to accommodate those
stub pens, be substituted.
Well, after serious conferences, a law was
passed. A writing system was put into the
Hungarian schools And each little fodder was
given a brand new stub fountain pen. So that ex-
change for the wheat didn't go to waste.
But, the next time carload came back which
really was puzzle. This time it was carload of
monoces! Then, this Hungarian baroness told
me at Vichy, then statesmen really did scratch
their heads. And wonder. Finally, one asked:
"What sort of law can we pass now to find
use for these ten thousand monocles?
They hadn't found out when left home"
Another item from Vichy recently made me
smile. That the announcement that the Vichy
government is planning a general re-examination
of the distribution Of medals. They are going to
be sure so the news item said that Frenchmen
wearing the red and green ribbons of the Croix de
Guerre, really deserve to wear them. And as for
me, smile and say, lit is high time"
All of us French who had any knowledge of
these matters beyond what we read in the papers,
knew that an honorary medal in our country didn't
necessarily mean thing-except that the person
honored had friend with influence. Why, almost
any mistress of almost any minister, could have a
medal-and sometimes, 1 suspected medals were
given by the minister as economy. The lovely
lady so ''honored" received the medal in place of
jewel.
But that puts me in mind of another story
about medals and Vchy. You know Vichy, quite
as much as Paris--in fact, perhaps even more,
attracted glamorous and exotic visitors. The diff
ference between Paris and Vichy that at Vichy
eastern potentate, visiting American or
royalty incognito, could really let down and enjoy
himself without formaity
distant uncle of mine middle-aged bachelor
about town, decided it was high time for him TO
settle down and do some important work for la
patrie and make name for himself before the
grey hairs dimmed his ardor. That uncle
dear old boy who knew a great deal about cards,
horse-racing good wine mellow tobacco and-it
goes without saying-the ladies.
Finally the government made uncle little berth
at Vchy as Persian Consul General, whatever that
meant. We believed it meant nothing much, for
few affairs of state were then transacted at the

THE mutt smiled.

The multi smiled
For how much" he whispered jingling his
bag of jewels, for how much would you not be
afraid"
The girl considered.
How much am offered?" she asked
Two rubes like this one replied the multi,
showing worth easily ten thousand dollars.
Il will risk it," said the girl, lust wait till
have played out this next.
After that, according to instruction, she went
to the Sultans apartment. He had already pre-
coded her His High Grand Lord of the Bath
opened the door.
There is dinner ritual" he told her. After
ALL you are an unbeliever and must be purified
You must first battle with soap, second with salt
last of all, with perfume. You will find the in
gradients within
Well, this was queer. 1t rather insulting
telling a lady to go battle, before she ate. But
then the Sultan was queer. And two rubies, just to
dine with him could not be disregarded. So she
went about her bath with right good will
The soap she found excellent The salt was
not so good. 1t was gritty on her tender
skin. But when she came to the perfume

managed with French tact. But tlrst OF all,
patiently General E explained to the Sultan
that he must wear European clothes, for the re-
cepton would be dress-up affair. Ihey would
welcome him as an Emperor.
And the Sultan, he cooperated He promised
to keep his clothes on and not ask to go in his
native costume which seemed to slip off of itself,
when the Sultan grew temperamental. So, IN
frock coat white collar, black necktle, boiled shirt,
and striped trousers the eX-Sutan of Morocco set
out by limousine for his new residence at Clermont-
Ferrand That he might not step out along the way,
and scandalze the countryside, they put him into
an automobile whose doors unlocked only from the
outside. Then the ride began.
AS have already explained, the Sultan was
natural man. Not much of dresser but all for
his feelings These grew hot. And CONSTRUCTED. So
he did something about it. First, he threw out his
silk hat Then his necktie. His striped trousers
followed his constructing collar His patent leather
shoes went before his socks. Out the window, one
by one. In vain did his multi try to reason with
him. The Sultan would not listen to reason.
And then the limousine came, with flourish,
to a stop before the Town Hall at Clermont-Fer-
rand. The Project and Madame the Project were
waiting. So was the village priest, the superln-
tendent of schools and the local deputy The well
come was imperial indeed-the best that a country
town could do in the imperial manner. The news
paper photographers primed their cameras, for
picture TO send back home to old Morocco.
Then out stepped the Sultan. Clad in little but
his shirt, he stepped out!
And how the school children started to laugh.
How, very soon all France laughed. But govern
ment forbade those pictures to be used in any news
papers anywhere.
Everything anything happened at Vichy. Even,
once in a blue moon, some funny story came to
Vichy out of Germany where, the Bon Deu knows,
there has never been much to laugh about. But
this is story which most truly happened. 1t is
written down in the public records in Hungary
These tell the tale, with official language.
Anyway, it seemed in 1888, the Germans con-
cluded trade agreement with Hungary by which
the Hungarians would send grain to Germany, and
the Germans send to Hungary an exchange OF sur
plus supplies Off went the first carloads of wheat
from Hungary.
And back from Germany, in good time came

They chose a quiet town, Cler-
mont-Ferrand. And, to soothe the
royal ego, they decided to take some
pains with his reception there. So
they arranged for the project and
his wife, the superintendent of
schools and the village priest to
greet the Sultan regally, in the pub
lie square, with a brass band and
the newspaper photographers, when
he should arrive. All this, of course,
