BY GLADWIN HILL

PARIS, Dec. 5 - up - Lib
Grated three months ago, Paris
wears today a deceptive mask
of normality but underneath It
remains a city rocked 10 its very
foundations by the rigorS of
war.
Chic femininity strollS the
boulevards. Open air bookstalls
flourish quantity along the
Seine. The left bank is dotted
with students. Fashion salon
flunkies bow and Scrape. Cham
payne flows at hollow dlplo-
matte receptions. + BILIOUS
Montmartre erupts in a hundred
hole in-the-wall night clubs,
and at the Follies Bergere arts
tic nudity is served up with the
customary musical sauce.
But all this is superficial.
Women's chic gowns are of light
summer material because win
ter weight goods are scarce.
Many Parisians are getting only
half the requisite number of
Galleries for good health because
food supplies are inadequate.
Most buildings in the city are
unheated and likely to remain SO
throughout the winter.
Maxim's and scores of other
noted restaurants are closed for
lack of fuel and food. But some
famous hotels are doing a rush
ing business under official aus
pices-the Ritz lodging tran
sient military and civilian digni-
taries, the crillon bullying with
American propaganda and dip
plomatic personnel and the
Grand serving as gigantic hos
tel for furloughing soldiers of
all nations.
Paris has 16 daily newspap-
ers now, but they are limited to
a single sheet each. The subway
is running, but there are no tax
is and practically no other sur
face transportation. Even doc
tors can't get gasoline for their
cars.
~ Visitors flock as of old to the
Louvre-but only to see small
special exhibits such as the
Bayeux Tapestries, for the Mu-
seum's main treasure trove of
art still lis hidden in the country.
Motion picture houses are
running full blast-but their
marques advertise films that

10 close for the duration.
Some 10000 Parisians are
languiShing In confinement on
charges Of suspicion of collabor-
alton with the Germans during

been tried so far, and lawyers

1--WE know that Christmastime

dents on the home front since

To Continue Today
1000 Certificates Bought
On Downtown Property

The sale of delinquent property by
the District Tax Collectors Office
was to continue today
More than 1000 tax certificates on
downtown propei,.-s were bought at
yesterdays annual sale, with LIP
being taken by private buyers and
s70 by the District because of lack
of bids. Today's sales involve sub

four individual bidders. Buyers of
tax certificates are entitled to one
per cent interest on their purchases
over period of two years and after
that they may apply for a deed to
the property, pay off back taxes and
assessments and charges.
In most cases the certificates were
purchased for the amount of the

petitive bidding caused surplus"
bids in about a dozen cases.
Tax Assessor Edward A. Dent said
the current sale, involving 5,480 par
GELS Of property, was the smallest
number ever listed, and pointed to
efforts of his staff to locate owners.

Carmen Tribe Walks JoyfuIIy
After Cure at Warm Sprinqs
Colombian Protege
Of American Official
Awaits Return Home

Carmen Uribe, pretty, brown
eyed 13-year- -old from Colombia,
has an eye toward glamour now
that her right foot has been
strengthened after four months of
treatment at the Infantile PARALYSIS
Foundation in Warm Springs, Ga.
Stopping here until travelling
companion can be found to accom-
pany her to Colombia, Carmen
walks with only slight limp. She
wears lipstick and pearl earrings,
fastens ribbons in her curly dark
hair and looks and acts like any
other teen-age girl.
One of II children of a chicken
farmer of Charala, Colombia, Car
men was stricken with infantile
paralysis when she was 2 years old.
Walter E. Hammond, mineral ex-
pert of the Tariff Commission, found
her last summer during a trip to
Colombia and arranged for her to
come to Warm Springs for treat
ment. The State Department will
aid in returning her to her home.
Spoke No English.
When she arrived in this country
Carmen spoke 70 English. Now she
speaks it well and understands it
better.
Il want to go ice skating" she
said with sparkling eyes, "and study
English and play
Asked if she could run, she quickly
replied. No"
IF We would run at Warm
Springs, they would put us back to

she said, laughing Garments pres
ent slight limp is likely to be only
temporary, and after some con-
valescense it is expected she will be
able to run and dance.
Warm Springs was fun, Carmen
confided, with movies three times a
week and Spanish-speaking teach
er. who taught her English. She
made many friends there, she said,
and yesterday sent cards from the
National Art Gallery to five of her
roommates and a birthday present
to one Of her nurses.

District Court Procedure
On Divorces Revised

Under new District Court pro-
cedure uncontested divorce cases no
longer are advanced for trial ahead
OF other cases, except on court orders
issued after good reasons for such
advancement have been shown.
While divorce cases were being
regularly advanced it required ap-
proximately six weeks for an un-
contested divorce to be granted. 1t
was stated today, however. by a
court attache that under the pres
ent system all uncontested. civil
cases, including those for divorce.
probably would come to trial within
three months after being put on the
calendar. ..s
The exception to this would be
during the courts summer recess
period when the time for trial Of all
cases Is slowed down.
