Women and Children, it was pointed out that there would be practically no hospital in the entire city where women physicians could attain staff positions. Supporters of the project explained that there is no intention to segregate women physicians professionally, but simply to increase their training facilities and thereby increase their efficiency. No details of the new hospital have yet been decided. The next step will be the appointment of a laymen's committee, which will survey the situation and report to the Women's Medical Association. FIRST REAL HOUSE IN MINNESOTA This is the first real house ever built in the State of Minnesota —and it is only ninety-one years old. It was built at Mendota in 1835 by the first Governor of the State, General Sibley. Now it has been purchased by the Daughters of the American Revolution and made into a State shrine. The house is built of stone. Previous to the construction thereof there were only log cabins in Minnesota. In Paris and the Provinces; Rehm Is Gay Despite Conviction Romantic Rogue Amuses Lyons Court by Comments During Trial for Swindle. Georges Rehm, the romantic rogue and habitual jail-breaker, was sentenced last evening by the Correctional Court at Lyons (Rhône) to ten years in prison. Small, wiry, scrupulously neat and clean, Rehm took his place in the packed court. Ten policemen surrounded him. “Present!” he responded, in a strong Toulouse accent, when his name was called. The judge read the list of crimes charged against Rehm. There were sixteen thefts and one swindle. The total penalties for them amount to sixty-two years in prison. “After all, I never harmed anyone,” broke out Rehm, as the judge finished reading. The began the procession of the victims. Each identified him. The first was a Paris jeweler, from whom Rehm had stolen a watch. “He recognized me eighteen months afterward by the way I pronounced the word 'pendant.' ” commented Rehm. At this point, the quoted phrase from Schiller proves the astuteness of the jeweler. Mlle. Ghardiny, fifteen years old, declared that she recognized Rehm as the man who had robbed

At this point, the quoted phrase from Schiller proves the astuteness of the jeweler. Mlle. Ghardiny, fifteen years old, declared that she recognized Rehm as the man who had robbed her father's store. "I recognize Mlle. Chardiny perfectly," remarked Rehm. "She fainted in my arms." The bandit, considered his honor affronted when a hotel-keeper of Aix-les-Bains (Savoie), with whom he had been on intimate terms, identified him. The hôtelier told the court that Rehm had often come to him for meals. "That's wrong; you invited me to eat at your hash-house," Rehm fired back at him. The two quarreled violently for a moment over the use which Rehm had made of a stolen automobile which he drove while at Aix-les-Bains. "I took you to call on your lady friend in my automobile," was the prisoner's final and telling remark. Signor Fugiani, an Italian who has a Japanese billiard hall at Aix-les-Bains, and who speaks with a strong Spanish accent, accused Rehm of having robbed him. "I don't know this man. He is in the smuggling business himself," announced Rehm. When the witnesses had finished, Rehm made his own defense. "I am not perfect," he began. "I am an amateur compared with two-thirds of the noble police spies who rob their compatriots. Without arms, without violence, without cruelty, I have always worked.

When I see a pocketbook on a table, I take it if I need it. If I have stolen, it is because I have two passions: money and love. Take off your black robes, Messieurs les juges, look into your consciences, and see if you will not pardon me." Rehm's lawyer made a brilliant defense. Rehm, a gay, harmless bandit, was in the best tradition of French literature, he said. In time to come, he will be a romantic tradition of the early 20th Century. He pleaded for the indulgence of the court. Judgment was passed thirty minutes later. Rehm grinned and laughed with his lawyers. Careful Spy Arrested. Although he had destroyed all incriminating evidence at once, Vivian Spanders, a former captain in the British Army, since employed as Berlin representative of several German aircraft companies, was forced to confess to espionage when arrested in Paris last evening by agents of the Sûreté Générale who had carefully watched him during seven visits in the past year. He said that he is employed by a Dr. Weber, who on each trip gave him a list of questions to determine, all related to the latest developments of aviation and armaments in general.

He said that he is employed by a Dr. Weber, who on each trip gave him a list of questions to determine, all related to the latest developments of aviation and armaments in general. After obtaining as much information as possible, he would write a full report, commit it to memory, burn all his papers and dictate the report after returning to Germany. For this work, he received a total of 5,000 gold marks. Suspicion was first aroused by the frequency of his short visits to Paris. It was then learned that he was a former British officer, and the Intelligence Service of the British Army cooperated with the French authorities in further investigations. At the recent Aviation Salon, his work as a spy seemed to be certain. Last week it was decided to arrest him. Taken at the Gare du Nord, where he had purchased a ticket for Reims, presumably with the intention of crossing the border into Germany, he at first expressed great anger and surprise. Finally, finding himself with his back to the wall, he confessed. THE PARIS STAGE MANY NEW PLAYS Passengers Show Their Minds.

All cars at the Barbès-Rochechouart Métro station were held up for a quarter of an hour last night when passengers demonstrated in favor of one of their number who had been arrested for striking a guard. The offending passenger was a young man who carried in his arms a baby a few months old. The guard did not give him sufficient time to get off the car when they reached the station, but sounded for the conductor to start again. The young father, staggering in the effort not to fall with his baby, reached out and delivered a glancing blow on the guard's chin. The guard immediately stopped the car and sounded the alarm, proclaimed himself wounded, and caused the arrest of the passenger with the baby. The other passengers, indignant, demonstrated for fifteen minutes. EVENTS OF TODAY AND TOMORROW Washington-Lafayette Club dance, American Women's Club.

Louise-Emilie Huchery, born in 1865, married in 1883, divorced in 1892, applied to the authorities recently for a marriage license, she was considerably astonished to hear the clerk déclaré: “Your name is not Huchery. Your name is Coignet. You have not divorced; your husband is dead and you have a grown son, born in 1891.” Mme. Huchery objected to this violently; if the legal records had such facts down about her, she said, the reason must be that her sister, who is Mme. Coignet, had used her name in the marriage ceremony. Therefore Mme. Huchery sued her sister and her sister's husband for 5,000fr. damages and for restitution of the Christian names Louise-Emilie, which the sister had taken from her. Mme. Coignet turned out to be an illiterate who was not sure of her name; in particular, as her father and mother had had sixteen or seventeen children, she could not remember which. In the circumstances, since Mme. Huchery had called herself Louise-Emilie in 1891, while Mme. Coignet had not recorded that name until 1915, the court ruled that Mme. Huchery henceforth is to have the name and

Daniel Laughlin, a young English sailor somewhat the worse for liquor, was stabbed by a sentry’s bayonet yesterday when he tried to disregard the challenge given in front of the Jean Bart Barracks at Dunkirk (Nord). Laughlin was with two friends, also sailors, who wanted to go near the barracks and were halted by a sentry. The other two retreated, but Laughlin paid no attention to the challenge and walked on to the bayonet. The wound will not be fatal.

The theatre was filled and spectators expressed much interest in the variety of the scenes presented and the cleverness of the filming. Modern buildings and hotels in the cities of North Africa were contrasted with the vast emptiness of the desert. Mr. Sutton Vane’s play, “Outward Bound,” which enjoyed such a great success a few years ago in London and New York, has been produced by M. Louis Jouvet at the Theatre de la Comédie des Champs-Elysées in a French translation by Paul Verola. The almost childish earnestness of the piece, its naive mixture of broad comedy and unremitting pathos, created more laughs than thrills in the French audience. The effectiveness of the play, to a very considerable extent, is lost in French and to a French audience; the conception is thoroughly fantastic, sentimental, and exceedingly broad. The boatload of passengers bound for “Heaven or Hell, either one, because they are the same place,” and the debates about whether they are dead or alive remotely suggest Pirandello, but a Pirandello done over by a romantic young man in a London fog. M. Jouvet himself plays the young drunkard on the ship. The English Players at the théâtre Albert-Ier have given a performance of “The Ringer,” a mystery play which had great success in London and which thrilled audiences for more than ten months. “The Ringer,” a notorious criminal, so named because of his skill in changing his disguise, although reported dead, is strongly suspected at Scotland Yard (the scene of

M. Jouvet himself plays the young drunkard on the ship. The English Players at the théâtre Albert-Ier have given a performance of “The Ringer,” a mystery play which had great success in London and which thrilled audiences for more than ten months. “The Ringer,” a notorious criminal, so named because of his skill in changing his disguise, although reported dead, is strongly suspected at Scotland Yard (the scene of the first act) to be alive and in England. This first act shows Maurice Meister, a shady lawyer, a receiver, a drug addict, and the seducer of the Ringer’s sister, claiming protection from the police against the threatened avenger of the man. As the play develops it is shown that Meister’s fears are well grounded. Not even a sagacious old Scotch doctor, the official police surgeon, can allay his terror. In the third act Meister is mysteriously murdered, under the eyes of the detectives who are guarding his house. Who committed the crime? If the murder was the work of the Ringer then how was it accomplished? The explanation, of course, leaves everyone saying; “I told you so.” But very few of those who made the remark were very communicative before the climax. The play is capably performed with Edward Sterling as Dr. Lomax, Bernard Merfield as Maurice Meister, and Margaret Vaughan as Cora Ann Milton, the Ringer’s wife. M. Pagnol’s “Jazz,” a comedy of age and disillusionment, holds the boards at the Théâtre des Arts.

The play is capably performed with Edward Sterling as Dr. Lomax, Bernard Merfield as Maurice Meister, and Margaret Vaughan as Cora Ann Milton, the Ringer’s wife. M. Pagnol’s “Jazz,” a comedy of age and disillusionment, holds the boards at the Théâtre des Arts. It tells the story of an aged savant whose life-work is proved (Act 1) to be a fraud, just as it was to have given him the final recognition of admission to the Institut de France; he gives his last lecture (Act II) and bitterly renounces science and knowledge as being themselves frauds. The savant regrets his lost youth, his years spent in libraries which might have been spent elsewhere. His lost youth, personified in a young “double,” advises him to seek love. Love is a young student of his, but she turns out to be very much in love with someone else. Therefore the aged savant communes again with his lost youth, and the only advice he gets is to seek the degrading and enervating pleasures of the old who regret and who seek to forget their regrets. At this point a jazz band breaks forth in the distance, and we are led to suppose that the old man has decided to take the first taxi to Montmartre. The piece contains many overdrawn and over-romantic passages, but many others of great power. The Palais-Royal has a new farce by MM. Paul Armant and Marcel Gerbidon, the authors of that unorganizable “Ecole des Cocottes” which was the delight of audiences in every capital in the World a few years ago. This one is called
