and that it calls for the creation of an entirely new set of organisms for carrying it out. Men who had just taken their seats at the Solo au Gratin, “in Paris it is not only about plush, mirrors and military uniforms that one finds sincere hospitality, but rather about the essence of the dish itself, for which, as you know, the French capital is celebrated, is at its little restaurant on the Rue de lastick & this in which we are sitting.” “I believe you owe me this,” replied his tall companion, “though I do not require you always
his tall companion, “though I do not require you always to tell me things I do not know, especially at the start by a diaphenous conversation. As I sit between these high-backed seats, in their yellow livery, I am reminded of a third-class railway carriage, so small and so confined seems this little Montmartre café at 10 Place d'Anvers. There is nothing extraordinary or even beautiful about the decoration or the lighting. The waitresses are ordinary waitresses. Yet something about these plain-looking people who sit two by two, a man and a maid, in the cozy nooks formed by the
and a maid, in the cozy nooks formed by the high-backed seats, tells me that they are epicures. For an epicure, being able to sit like anyone else is a must. The food will tell. Let us try it out at “The choice of a sole (gratin) as the plate of our dinner is not disputable, I should think-,” said the shorter of the two companions, “and I shall order at once.” “Order a sole au gratin? Bien Monsieur, said the waitress politely, smiling with pleasure but without surprise at the glance last of her client's bread. “And something else
the glance last of her client's bread. “And something else that?” “I should rather not,” said the two men almost together. “Nothing should go before a sole au gratin, such a dish steals so gently upon the expectant palate, unspoiled by potage.” "Et comme vin?" continued the girl. “Would you please ask Monsieur Luhin to come here?” A Monsieur Luhin, the proprietor, approached. Nothing about him suggested he spoke the artist which he is. He is not eccentrically dressed, but, in keeping with the decoration of his restaurant, he has a modest and homely air. He might be the proprietor
a modest and homely air. He might be the proprietor of any other restaurant on the Hill. He has a trim little moustache and an unaffected and pleasant smile. “Monsieur Luhin,” said the man who seemed to have taken charge of ordering the dinner. “You do not know us. The lame of your sole au gratin reached us and we have come to last this delicacy which we understand you prepare like no other man in the world. In fact, we are told you are the best cook in Paris.” The proprietor laughed with unconcealed pleasure at these graceful words,
The proprietor laughed with unconcealed pleasure at these graceful words, and showed to his two clients. “Messieurs,” he repeated, “it is clear you are time gentlemen. It is my delight to serve such men as you. Command me.” “In the matter of wine, Monsieur, you are a recognized authority. We should like your advice, as to the vintage which will best honor your marvelous fish.” “For you, Messieurs,” returned the patron, “as I see that you know vintages, I shall order a bottle of the very rare 1921. It is Château Ausalt.” “Pouilly white,” he went on, “is made from
Château Ausalt.” “Pouilly white,” he went on, “is made from a particularly delicious grape of the Loire Valley. It is kept in wood for two years. After it is placed on bottles it does not improve and in a third or fourth year may even deteriorate. In the third and fourth year of its life it reaches the plenitude of its qualities. I give you such a wine in the bottle by which I spoke.” The Wine was brought and the two epicures could not resist stealing a taste of the golden tinted liquor that was poured into their glasses.
the golden tinted liquor that was poured into their glasses. “It is sweet, very smooth, I suspect very strong,” said one of the men half jokingly, after a sip. “It is very dry, there is not much alcoholic content, it is agreeable,” said the other in the same breath. “I don’t mean particularly sweet, I mean mild. I mean don't, not sweet— the opposite of sweet.” “That’s what I meant too,” said the other. Doux means mild, but it also means sweet. It’s the same word in French and that’s what confused me when I said it was sweet. You
what confused me when I said it was sweet. You know what I mean.” “It is, indeed,” they said after the first course in food had been brought by, “of great sweetness: It has, however, after it has gone down the throat, no lingering taste. It is remarkable in this. It does not take hold by the back of the throat, it cannot be very strong, but it is what the French call 'heady.' Its flavor is indeed unique and excellent.” And then came the sole. It lay in a tightly covered coat of grain, brown and irresistible. A stroke
tightly covered coat of grain, brown and irresistible. A stroke of the fork uncovered the whiteness of that sweet fish. By its side nestled little point curiously shaped shrimps. The diners tasted and re-tasted of that ethereal flesh, enriched by the divine sauce which crumbled like sugar, and was complemented by the gentle tang of the tinny shrimps. “It is the best sole, we think, that we have ever eaten,” said the young men, with our prevarication and with our explanation. An unspoken understanding lay between them on this point. They were indeed gourmets at this moment. “Is it good?”
They were indeed gourmets at this moment. “Is it good?” asked Monsieur Luhin, as an artist should ask after his masterpiece. “I make them all myself.” “Why, Monsieur, it is as good as the most famous of soles.” “Monsieur,” said the artist simply. “It is better.” And for once, the young men were ashamed of not having told the truth. After this, it seemed only to wish the means for all the rest could only be an afterword. A pun, covered with chives, Oh M. Lubi, an eulogy, a cup of coffee, should have been a victory in itself had
of coffee, should have been a victory in itself had not a greater gone before, at Coffee amicably shared by the gracious M. Lubi, which chose the two counselors to take an oath never to drink another less worthy before they returned to the "Sole au Gratin" for another from the same bottle. And the addition amounted to 83 fr. 50 for two persons. C. W. Flying has brought us as near to the birds in more ways than one, especially in the laying of a time course through the uncharted air. The greatest challenge must be against the mysterious
uncharted air. The greatest challenge must be against the mysterious locality sense of birds, but both and by itself are insufficient for intellectual occasions. And a remedy is sought by man and bird in one and the same guiding sigh—Water. The Sea and the River are the great handposts that put the migrant and the aviator to the test. When he has lost a certain reckoning. Occasionally, when wind or weather interferes, the sea is likely to be its dagger to one and the other. Countless are the feathered victims driven off their course by storms while skirting the sea-coasts
driven off their course by storms while skirting the sea-coasts or narrow seas. Human fliers experience like trouble from logs which crossing distant seas. So and by, when the machine is perfected, even this discrepancy will be valve overcome. For the bear, light the river, if the airplane's speed is guided. The war brought us a reminder of the tremendous nautical skill of both in navigating the air. It was the British Coast and the river charts that guided the airhands; Nearly all the bombs that caused havoc in cities and sea-ports were dropped by airmen who took their bearings
and sea-ports were dropped by airmen who took their bearings from the Water. That this should be so is due to a natural constancy; Water reflects any light that may be projected or diffused. The worst raids suffered by London were always accompanied by lightning. So well known was the lapping of Water as a mark for bombers that the lack in it, designated Mark, was emptied and all the water formed by dispersion so that the Germans should not take advantage of shipping at Biakingham Basin. Bird migrations are almost exclusively guided by the largest waterways, once the sun
almost exclusively guided by the largest waterways, once the sun is above the horizon. And curiously enough, host birds by the feathered voyagers prefer to travel at night, when the gleaming ribbon of the river serves as a sure guide. It is w. CURRENT HISTORY TOLD The French cartoonist depicts the Republic holding onto the Ruhr—a large block of coal, which numerous hands are attempting to grasp.

There is a statue of General Wolfe in a corner of the North Ambulatory, and close by it is a similar statue of Lawrence, by whose orders he was sent to Canada to attain ultimate glory on the Fields of Abraham. In the nave is a monument to George Viscounst Howe: Who was killed in the first and disastrous expedition to Ticonderoga in 1758.

Near it is the monument of Fox at the west door and that of Lieutenant Colonel Royal Goulding, who died of fever in the second expedition to Ticonderoga. In the north cloister is the grave of Colonel Schurch Markham, a volunteer in the Canadian campaign under Wolfe, Who razed the Royal Musketeers on his return home, shared the hardships of the War of Independence, and died in 1812. General John Burgoyne, Who served at Saratoga and came home in disgrace, is also commemorated. But of all the Transatlantic memorials none

In later years the American memorials in the Abbey have become more associated with the cause of peace. In the Fleet Street corner may be seen a bust of Lord Howe; near the Chapter House is a tablet to Alexander Miles Magee, in close proximity to the monument.

back with him as a gift to the Washington Zoological Park a wild dog, native to the Wilds of the Amazon. The animal is web-footed, about the size and build of a dachshund, with long silky hair reaching almost to the ground. It has thick, "Caucasian" like ears, and a snout like an anteater. The dog does not bark, but intersperses its monotonous sound like whistling, making the sound in short chirps. It is the second of the type known to be in captivity. BERNARD M. BARNETT.

Barnet, financier and adviser to statesmen, who has been in Paris for a vacation, is going to visit Mr. Clemenceau on Monday, at the "Tiger's" home in the Vendôme. Mr. Barnet, springing step and towering general figure, has spent many years upon the New York Stock Exchange, accumulating a considerable fortune before he turned his talents to helping win the World War, to diplomacy and to the writing of authoritative treaties on economic questions. Mr. Barnet was a close friend of Woodrow Wilson. He was one of the few men whom the late President admired for his stellar clout and

life in England. At times the feathers touch but lightly, almost affectionately, on the individual intricacies of modem politics, but again, when certain liberal and socialist personages arise, the distemper becomes a cat-o'-nine tails to the sensitive mind. "The Conservative Mind" is the title of the heavy book, but contrary to expectation the attack is not on a party but on those of more free-minded tendencies whose activities and public speeches have led the author to conclude that democracy has succeeded in taking its liberalism to a height with a grain of salt, and that while Mr. Lloyd George, the
grain of salt, and that while Mr. Lloyd George, the popular leader of Sir William Beveridge, may always expect support, his triumphal progress and requests for his autograph are unlikely to lead to possession of the key to No. 10. The Socialists are surmised up in these terms: “They regard enterprise as a crime, self-interest as a sin, priggishness and thrift as pieces of silliness;” Thus does the first fly from certain corners, but still there are other sections of a more complimentary nature; Mr. Stanley Baldwin is characterized as "lacking the flash of a cocktail" but "is a scholar
"lacking the flash of a cocktail" but "is a scholar of real distinction with a keen sense of humor." The volume presents a number of striking portraits of present-day English politicians. THE CONSERVATIVE MIND by F. Geoffrey Unwin. The aviation of coal in the British Isles and Great Britain's failure to keep ahead in the rarefied field of chemical products serve as the basis for the book, with two important proposals to be considered in the situation. The proposals are: "State ownership of mineral rights, with amalgamation of smaller mines, co-operation between private owners and miners, and other reforms." "Super
co-operation between private owners and miners, and other reforms." "Super power stations, with electric trunk mains, to be built by the nationalized coal industry." A report by Mr. Lloyd George, presided over by Mr. Lloyd George, identifies the problem and suggests solutions.

Yet it was father striking by an article in a Paris paper the other day that railed against the effect that a Belgian in Paris, while attaining to the extent of the declared thoroughfares (a job, by the way, of no mean proportions), and while enjoying the benefits of an excellent manner, one of the securing, thriving taxis, the collision appeared to cause little damage.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The other day I stood watching four men busily endeavoring to solve a large, irregularly shaped box from a wagon to the side walk. From the Way in Which they tussled and pried and tugged, the box evidently was very heavy but, in suit of its weight, found itself too many for the job—one stood in the Way of the others doing efficient work, and, by one of the four, eventually acknowledging this fact, suggested that the obstruction stand aside,
eventually acknowledging this fact, suggested that the obstruction stand aside, that the others might continue the task and complete it without further assistance. And it occurred to one at the time that the fellow who eased up the situation and, placed the fourth man aside, showed something of efficiency, concentration, and that the task which is performed thoroughly captures attention and concentrates it best at a mastery, by even most men in their occupations. And on this occasion, there are frequent occasions when we know we can do many things more perfectly than we do. The miracle in work is
more perfectly than we do. The miracle in work is efficiency, and the merit and criterion of good work is its perfection; in this the leader fulfills himself and repays. Whether we work for a salary under the direction of another matters little; the cost of development is little at and the profit largest in proportion. The fact, therefore, should appeal to men that whatever they do, they are doing for themselves. What is all important is the fact of self-perfection; that is the ideal in life, so if we loiter or we wander through the field of experience from
loiter or we wander through the field of experience from day to day, we may possibly as we go along; we must not think of the soil, but rather of the thinking of the harvest but of the work. Anything that is well done is an artistic fact and an artistic tribute to the wholeness of life, and he who has performed the work is, as an artist, in the particular manner and calling, and this applies whether we paint on canvas or dig a trench. Efficiency is a well-directed and efficiently used energy that is expressed in constructive application.
and efficiently used energy that is expressed in constructive application. We create the thought; the stronger the thought, the greater the result. With well-directed energy we establish that result which we hold as ideal. In this will the needed romance attaches itself to the most trivial affairs of life and the power by the individual over events and circumstances will be realized. Education leads towards efficiency. It makes the pathway of action clear and at times vision direct. Attention and application follow. It depends upon the individual whether he will so exercise himself as to tap the deeper possibilities of
so exercise himself as to tap the deeper possibilities of his being and gain control over the extensive area of energy and will latent in the subconscious mind. It is known that when special responsibilities and greater work are shouldered upon a person, he employs a larger amount of energy than is necessary to continue his daily duties, which proves beyond a doubt that men have stores of energy which they draw upon to use, but which are manifested only under stress and struggle. Competent is the man who desires to be so. The desire is the purpose gained; efficiency
to be so. The desire is the purpose gained; efficiency is everything. Once it is set in motion, the end is sure, so long as the idea remains in the field of action.

NEW YORK COPS TO WEAR RADIO RECEIVING SETS Policemen on Beat to Time in With Headquarters to Stop Crime Wave. (Paris Times Spécial) NEW YORK.—An army of 13,000 policemen, every one within instant call of headquarters by radio—that is a dream of Police Commissioner Enright which started on its way to fruition with the opening of WNYC, the big new municipal broadcasting station atop of the 25-story Municipal Building. The plan is to equip every
the 25-story Municipal Building. The plan is to equip every cop on the force with a portable set so that headquarters can communicate instantly with the entire 13,000 in any emergency that may require their services. Bandits and other criminals, the Commissioner feels, will find it much harder to get away once it becomes possible to flash alarms instantly all over the city. The equipping of each individual policeman with a receiving set, of course, is a matter of time. Further development of small sets which would not burden a plodding bluecoat will be necessary first. But in the meantime,
plodding bluecoat will be necessary first. But in the meantime, immediate steps toward part broadcasting of police orders are underway. Every station house in the city is being equipped with a receiving set and it is expected that in a few weeks the police squadron of high-speed automobiles will mount sets by which they can be thrown into bandit chases at a moment's notice. Police boats in the harbor will be similarly equipped. Broadcasting Police News. Incidentally, Commissioner Enright, who is not any too fond of the New York newspapers because of their critical attitude, plans to give the metropolitan
