English Comment The French political crisis and the London Tube strike divide the attention of London editorial writers this morning. Emphasis is laid on the statement issued by the Labor Press and Trades Unions Congress that the strike has been fomented by Extremists conducting Moscow propaganda. The prospects of a Constitutional conflict in France are viewed with undisguised apprehension. The Daily Express carries flaring headlines: "London held to ransom," and forecasts complete cessation of Tube traffic. Noting that it is the third passenger transport strike in London this year, the Daily Telegraph remarks: — "So far as we know, this is the first occasion on which organized Labor has officially admitted and denounced the existence of Communist agitation as the mainspring of an industrial dispute. It is the opening of a new chapter in the already uneasy relations of British Socialism— for both the Labor party and the Trade Union Congress are professedly Socialist—with

Under the heading “Justice at last,” the Morning Post acclaims the verdict in favor of the former Governor of the Punjab in a lawsuit with a native member of the India Council, the issue turning upon Sir Michael O'Dwyer's support of General Dyer for shooting down the Amritsar rioters, Freudian Commentary. While the great Parisian dailies abstain from commenting on the actual Presidential crisis since it has entered the phase of “actual hostilities,” party organs continue a crossfire of comment, in which the Radical and Socialist organs display the greater heat. The Figaro approves M. Millerand for holding the Presidential fort, comparing him to a brave soldier who may yet save his country by remaining at his post. The Gaulois regards the whole conflict as another evidence of failure on the part of the Parliamentary régime. Confirmation of this view is indirectly afforded from the opposite camp, the Œuvre giving prominence to an article which propounds the doctrine that the Republic, which it identifies with Radicalism, must be synonymous with the Constitution of “Pertinax,” writing in

Which France has struggled, not unsuccessfully, in the last five years? In what other country is the public spirit so reasonable, comfort so general, wealth so evenly distributed? Even in the most industrialized centers there is, in France, nothing resembling the sordid, grinding poverty that fouls the big cities elsewhere in Europe. Bear in mind, also, the amazing fertility of the soil; the industry, skill, and ingenuity of the population. If French products are so universally prized it is because the French artisan is incomparably adroit and painstaking. And among the solid buttresses of confidence, is the mineral wealth of France: it is calculated that the iron-ore alone represents in value a sum far exceeding the total amount of the French national debt. And do not overlook the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors who are attracted to France annually by a mild climate, lovely scenery, art treasures, good cheer, including wines of perfect

Does not such a balance sheet inspire confidence? In view of the past, how is it possible to doubt the power of France to ride out the storm safely? There are still many and great difficulties, of course, but they do not detract from the confidence that the future of France is among the brightest of any country in the world. Romance of the MS The romance of the unearthing by Dr. Fellows of the last MS of the “Great Service” by William Byrd had a fitting climax the other day in the rendition of the work in the ancient Cathedral of Newcastle, England. Although probably the best appreciated of the great composer’s works in his lifetime, it had fallen completely out of sight, and its existence unknown even to scholars until it was come upon by Dr. Fellows, who has re-discovered so many of the works of the 16th and early 17th Century English composers. In the light of this performance, “The Great Service” is certainly one of the finest of Byrd’s productions, and it is a rich example of his power to gain simplicity of effect even though the means employed

In the light of this performance, “The Great Service” is certainly one of the finest of Byrd’s productions, and it is a rich example of his power to gain simplicity of effect even though the means employed are exceedingly elaborate. Byrd frequently contents himself with a plain, single statement. At other times he will repeat a sentence over and over again, with ever-growing intensity in the music, as at the close of the Te Deum, where, at the words “let me never be confounded” the phrases are piled one on top of the other with climax upon climax, as if the suppliant would literally compel the answer to his prayer. Tourist’s First Day in Paris Ten thirty in the morning at one of the busiest squares in Paris. A smart looking auto car filled with eager Americans and English—a loquacious guide and they were off for a sight-seeing trip of the world’s capital. First along the Rue de la Paix, where the women heaved sighs as they thought of the “perfect dreams” of gowns that would make them at once the delight and despair of the folks “back home”—then the Place Vendôme, which, for the benefit of the men, the guide observed might one day be known by the up-to-the-minute but unhistoric name of “Place des Banques”.

First Day in Paris. It was the first day in Paris for many of them, but they all wore the look of the seasoned, determined tourist. Mark Twain’s Italian guide would have held up his hands in despair. A few years ago it was perfectly proper tourist etiquette to enthuse and exclaim and even be poetic. But now the tourist seems to put on an armor against any onslaughts on his emotions. Not a murmur as they went through the beautiful Tuileries Garden now at its loveliest—merely a look of passive content and strict attention to the guide while a college girl tried to take notes at the rate of 300 French-English words a minute. An attractive woman turned to the one beside her. “Pardon me,” she said, “but your hat is so smart, I can’t help remarking it. Did you get it here? I must buy a summer hat immediately. Do you know where is the best place to go? And do you think I ought to get a straw or a felt? I overheard someone.

More quietly, two men were exchanging confidences about the Folies and Montmartre, while an intellectual-looking woman was advising somebody to make every minute count and spend at least an hour a day at the Louvre. Then they crossed the Seine and for the moment all else was forgotten. The "Ohs" and "Ahs" would have satisfied the most intense enthusiast. Somebody discovered the towers of Notre Dame, while another mildly inquired if the bits of the Sacré-Cœur faintly outlined against the sky were to her taste. She had yet to know the joy of the Sacré-Cœur at sunset. Talk of Goles. Then along the Seine for a stretch. It was blue green and suggested a gown and a hat. "I adore your coat," the woman with an eye for fashion said to another. "It's so Parisian." "Yes," said the owner proudly. "You see, I've been here quite awhile — eight days — and I was lucky in finding the most wonderful place. It's so important to know just where to go! I got black because it is so sleek and practical but at the races they're wearing ever so much blue and white — and you know white stockings are replacing the beige!" Everybody wanted the address, and in the midst of note-taking, they stopped at the Sainte-Chapelle. The assumed mask of indifference dropped

Everybody wanted the address, and in the midst of note-taking, they stopped at the Sainte-Chapelle. The assumed mask of indifference dropped from their faces, as they entered the chapel of windows. Adjectives still exist. So too with Notre Dame and the Invalides. They stopped for déjeuner at a small restaurant. "You don't mean we're going to eat outside!" objected a timid woman. "Why, it's so unsanitary!" But she enjoyed it and thought afterward "it was so much more interesting." The lack of hustle and bustle amazed them. The men who at home dashed in for a ten-minute lunch of ham sandwich and coffee envied the Frenchmen who struggled leisurely to their two-hour midday meal. A fashion show claimed the women in the afternoon, while the men who had wives with them gave parting admonitions about not spending it all in one place. A number who had come for a few days in the usual way decided to prolong their stay — like others who came for a week and stayed forever. But one brisk person said she must move on. She had "done" Paris thoroughly in three days. FRENCH ACADEMY BROADCASTS Henry Roelofs orientation to Go Out to World by Radio.

For the first time in the history of the Académie Française, its proceedings will be broadcast next Thursday on the occasion of the admission of M. Henri-Robert into the company of the immortals. But a short time ago, it was a great privilege to be able to hear the proceedings of the Academy, and long weeks in advance intrigues were set about to obtain tickets for visitors. But now the Academy, child of the seventeenth century, has adopted the youngest production of the twentieth, and anyone who wished, to tune in may hear all that goes on. "PARIS To The Editor of The Paris Times:— Paris, June 5, 1924. My hearty congratulations on the first real sporting page I have ever seen in Europe.

HEIGHT With girls under the age of twelve, height rather than weight is what determines the food requirement. But for girls above twelve, it is weight rather than height which is the principal factor in determining how much food they require. This is what Dr. Francis G. Benedict of the nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington told a meeting of the American Philosophical Society at Boston. "The food of children should, first of all, produce a good growth of the skeleton," said Dr. Benedict, "for a well-developed skeleton, upon which muscles and fat can be adjusted in the normal process of growth, is the determining factor in the growth of young girls. "The remarkable fact is that girls from twelve years to twenty years of age all have the same fuel needs when at rest in bed. A twelve-year-old girl, weighing eighty-five pounds, produces

"The food of children should, first of all, produce a good growth of the skeleton," said Dr. Benedict, "for a well-developed skeleton, upon which muscles and fat can be adjusted in the normal process of growth, is the determining factor in the growth of young girls. "The remarkable fact is that girls from twelve years to twenty years of age all have the same fuel needs when at rest in bed. A twelve-year-old girl, weighing eighty-five pounds, produces as much heat when asleep in bed as a twenty-year-old girl weighing 125 pounds. "Thus each unit of weight in the younger girls has a higher heat production, and for the age range between twelve and twenty years, the best method of estimating the fuel needs is on the basis of the calories per pound of body weight for each age." Dr. Benedict said that young girls were, so to speak, geared on high, and their organisms needed proportionately more food than did those of older people. "It has been found," he said, "that between the ages of twelve and twenty years girls needed equal amounts of food irrespective of their weights. That is, the younger and lighter ones use up the most energy for every pound of body weight."

Of the three popular beverages, cocoa was introduced into Europe first. There is no reference to tea in European literature before 1588, and the appreciation of coffee as a beverage dates only from the seventeenth century. How long before the discovery of America by Europeans cocoa was used in its native country it is hard to say. Coffee was used in Abyssinia in the tenth century, and it was then stated that it had been used from time immemorial. Tea, according to Chinese legend, goes back to a time 3,009 years before Christ, and, if legend is a doubtful basis of history, it is at least certain that it was already a beverage as long ago as the Tang dynasty. To England the three beverages were introduced about the same time, the middle of the seventeenth century. London coffee-houses date from 1652. Five years later the Public Advertisement announced that “In Bishopsgate Street, in Queen’s Head Alley, at a Frenchman’s house, is an excellent West India drink, called chocolate, to be sold, where you may have it ready at any time, and also unmade at reasonable rates.” The world now consumes far more cocoa-beans than ever in the past. When the century began 100,000 tons sufficed for all mankind. By 1922, 400,000 were needed. THE RIGHT REV.
