Salomon Reinach, head of the Muséum at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, M. Esmeralda Moutet, and Comte Begon. The contrary thesis was presented again to the French Academy of Inscriptions last evening by M. Camille Jullian, a savant who is perhaps the leading authority on life and customs in Gallo-Roman times. The relics found at Glozel are genuine for the most part, in the opinion of M. Camille Jullian, who dismisses the general charge of forgery already brought in this connection. But this scientist denies the claim that the relics had been in the place where they were found since centuries before the beginning of recorded time. “Sorcerers Used Them” Relics of the sort, according to M. Jullian, were frequently unearthed in Gallo-Roman times in France and were used as a regular thing by the sorcerers who flourished in country places. These sorcerers supposed the objects to have magic powers and the latter figured in their incantations. M. Jullian recalls that sorcerers’ caves containing prehistoric relics have been unearthed in numbers at other points in France. As he told the Academy last evening, evidence exists to prove that Glozel had a Gallo-Roman sorcerer more than two thousand years ago. M. Jullian rejects the suggestion that the Glozel inscriptions are a new letters previously unknown to the modern world. According to him, they represent simply, a cursive Latin script which has survived in countless examples. In the case at hand, he suggests, it has been difficult to decipher the meaning because the writings, by some ancient sorcerer, have no rational significance. At the next session of the Academy, he is to present an attempt at translation. For the present, he points out that one of the glazed tiles found at Glozel bears, in addition to a roughly-drawn reindeer, the word “STA.” This, he maintains, can be nothing but the Imperative Singular of the Latin verb “Sto,” meaning to “stand,” or “wait.” Uses of Gas They Are Rapidly Expanding There are today ten major uses for gas in the modern home, where fifty years ago there was only one—illumination.

The use of gas permits automatically-heated homes, freedom from coal-dirt and ash-removal, and eliminates inconvenience from coal strikes. Evidences of the rapid strides being made in consumption of gas are seen particularly in Chicago and Baltimore. In the former city, gas sales during the past fifteen years have increased 75 per cent., although the population increased but 38 per cent. During the last heating season, 1,300 Baltimore homes were heated entirely by gas, with a total fuel consumption of 700,000,000 cubic feet. Gas thus replaced 20,000 long tons of anthracite coal, which would have required 6,667 three-ton trucks for haulage and 2,000 tons of ashes with haulage. It is estimated further that the use of thermostats in these gas-heated buildings saved more than 600,000 trips to the cellar, and the savings in time in caring for furnaces is estimated at 60,000 hours.

The intensity is said to be as great as all the lights combined on New York’s “White Way.” The giant, which was exhibited at the 1926 electrical and Industrial Exposition in New York, is so perfectly balanced on its truck “that a child could direct it.” The Sun on Stamps A SOURCE OF MANY ERRORS The sun which shines in many designs for postage-stamps has been the source of numerous mistakes, even in countries where artists might be expected to be familiar with the real thing. The intended “rising sun” on the first Czechoslovak stamps was rising in the West, and in the revised edition it had to be shifted out of the picture, leaving only rays of light illuminating the Castle of Hradschin. The sun as engraved for the first edition of Roty’s graceful “Semeuse” type of French stamps was only one of several artistic inaccuracies. Although the sun is behind the woman, her figure is light in front and shaded on the “sunny” side, but, as shown by her unshingled locks extended on the breeze, she is sowing her seed against the wind, a thing not done in agriculture.

The sun is shown inverted, and even sideways, on the Salvador overprinted stamps of 1907, with in addition the suggestive variety of double soleil. These, however, are no faults of the artist, but the reckless work of a printer toiling under a tropical sun. Phones for Turkey For the first time, the Black Sea and Mediterranean ports of Asiatic Turkey are to be linked by telephone. The whole of Anatolia is to have a network of telephones. One of the largest sources of revenue of the French Government is the tax on salaries, which, according to figures just made public, was paid in 1925 by 823,590, or one out of every forty-seven inhabitants. The taxable salaries totalled 11,973,000,000 francs. which figure was reduced to 10,406,000-00 fr. by exemptions for disabled war veterans and men supporting parents. The minimum salary on which taxes are levied is 7,000 fr. Of payments made in 1925, nearly half, or 344,018 were on salaries between 7,000 fr. and 10,000 fr.; 279,262 were between 10,000 fr. and 15,000 fr.; 95,318 were between 15,000 fr. and 20,000 fr. and 104,992 were on salaries of more than 20,000 fr.

The Department of the Seine, which includes Paris, paid taxes on salaries totalling 5,577,000,000 fr., about half of the total for France. The next highest figure was for the Nord Department, with 672,000,000 fr. The Basses-Alpes was the lowest, with only 6,000,000 fr. A “Spud” Aristocrat The heretofore humble “spud,” as grown by the farmers of Idaho, must now be admitted to the circle of agricultural aristocrats. The Eastern markets in the United States are at present receiving baking potatoes from Idaho, each as large as a man’s two fists, packed in fancy boxes, instead of barrels or jute sacks. They retail at ten cents apiece and upward. Each separate tribe, carefully cleaned of its native dirt, is carefully wrapped in tissue paper. Shull Operations SCOUTED AS “CRIME CURE” Operations on the skull to remove the cause of crime are unwarranted medical practice, in the opinion of Dr. Shepherd I. Franz, an expert in the re-education of the damaged brain. The supposition that a bony protuberance of the cranium or some malformation due to accident may press on the brain and be the specific cause of wrongdoing is rejected by Dr. Franz and relegated to the limbo of phrenology or like pseudoscience.

The supposition that a bony protuberance of the cranium or some malformation due to accident may press on the brain and be the specific cause of wrongdoing is rejected by Dr. Franz and relegated to the limbo of phrenology or like pseudoscience. Surgeons of questionable ethical standards, with prospects of a high fee, he reports, have been willing to operate on a criminal, the purpose in part being to influence a court in the direction of leniency. In some cases of this sort the patient, profoundly influenced by such serious an operation on himself, has actually been led to believe that the treatment has cured him. Thus purely by suggestion he deserts the criminal life. To this extent is the cranial operation of value. Extended experiments in brain operation have convinced Dr. Franz that the upper brain structure works generally as a whole and not in specialized departments. Energy Wasted If automobiles could use the full energy capacity of gasoline, a small car could go 450 miles on a gallon, says the President of the General Motors Research Corporation. As it is, the engine wastes 97 per cent of this precious energy. Buenos Aires Traffic Traffic in the busiest section of Buenos Aires will be regulated soon by a System of lights similar to that employed in New York, Paris and other large cities. The ever-growing traffic has demanded the constant attention of the city authorities of late and several other Systems of control had been tried without success.

To the Editor of The Paris Times:— Cannot something be done to help poor Queen Marie, even this late? It seems a shame that just because she is a queen, and a well-known one, every little mishap of her trip in America must be broadcast over the world. If she has an argument over a press contract, all the world knows about it. If her host threatens to “smash” somebody in the nose, this tremendous news is sent out by radio and telegraph. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” was written in times when the possessor of the crown could not be sure of retaining the head. But it must be even more true for Queen Marie, who cannot wave her hand without attracting the attention of reporters. Of course, nothing can be done about it now. But it seems to me that our whole present-day system of assuming that the intimate details of a prominent person’s life are public property is really a survival of barbarous vulgarity.

While the German monarch was speaking of roasts and sauces, the famous chef put in a word for better international relations. “If he had listened to me,” remarks the chef, “there would have been no war in 1914.” M. Escoffier has cooked for many crowned heads. He created his Jubilee Cherries for Queen Victoria. He has served private supper to Edward VII and George V. He wears the Cross of Danube for having pleased the palates of the King and Queen of Denmark. The King of Italy has decorated him. He is the only chef besides Prosper Montagné who has been awarded the Légion of Honor for culinary achievements. Thousands of persons who never saw M. Escoffier have tasted his creations. One of the most famous is the Peach Melba, which he presented at the Carlton in London after meeting the singer some thirty-five years ago. Another, which figured on the menu of the banquet given him in New York by four hundred chefs and hotelkeepers assembled to pay him homage, is Poularde Marie-Rose. M.

Americans as a rule eat too much canned food, he thinks, and naturally they are robbed of a cuisine classique by the ban on wines and brandies. Although he can think of fifty different ways to préparer ham and eggs, he knows of no way to prepare a sauce as it should be without the great vintages of France. He is hoping to préparer a bottled sauce for America if the Prohibition authorities will not classify it as a beverage. The best dinner he had in America, however, was given by the colony of his fellow Niçois. For Auguste Escoffier is of the Midi. He was born in Nice eighty years ago. He hoped to be a sculptor, but fate intended him for another art, which he first learned in his uncle’s restaurant in Nice. He came to Paris to cook at the Reine Blanche, and when called for the Army was attached to the camp kitchen of Napoléon III. During the Franco-Prussian War he was taken prisoner. Released, he became chef for Marshal Mac-Mahon, and later for all the early Presidents of the Third Republic. Some gourmets regard M. Escoffier as the greatest cook in the world. He denies the honor.

The authorities at the London Zoo have been faced by that problem and they have turned to ultraviolet rays after finding that surgical boots did not straighten the bent, weak bones well enough. For five minutes daily the elephant is drenched with ultraviolet rays from a powerful mercury vapor lamp. The further treatment includes daily massage with coconut oil and a diet of oranges, grapes and bananas, biscuits and two buckets of condensed milk. The Book of the Day THE INFLUENCE OF HEREDITY HER MOTHER'S DAUGHTER. By Nellie Bartley. (The George A. Doran Company. New York; 92.) In "Her Mother’s Daughter" Nellie Bartley has written a novel which is uncommonly interesting as a study of heredity and parental influence. The mother Beaumont—Mrs. Jules August Beaumont—of Swiss peasant stock; her husband is a Swiss pastry-cook. As immigrants they settle in one of the smaller but more aristocratic cities of New York State. They start a bakery which, thanks to the business ability of Mme. Beaumont, eventually becomes the nucleus of a pie and cake trust, the first link in a vast chain of bakeries. The reader, however, is not asked to interest himself in the pies and cakes, except incidentally. The study to which Miss Bartley has devoted herself is the familiar problem of new and ambitious immigrant stock set down among families rapidly going to seed. New
