FRENCH KEEPING
REGULAR HOURS
OF BUSINESS
PARIS. Feb. 10. (/P)—1The Petit de
Jeuner, “little breakfast” which has
long been the traditional first meal of
the day in Paris, seems doomed. Its
disappearance will arouse ho lamenta
tion among those non-French visitors
who have experienced the difficulty
of obtaining a sufficient meal in the
morning as a start for a hard day’s
sigh^ seeing.
The continuous day is displacing
the divided day in Paris business' and
industry and is proving more and more
popular wth both employes and em
ployer. Time was when almost every
shop and business house displayed a
sign showing that it closed from noon
till two o’clock but such signs now are
becoming rare. Work from 9 or 9:30
; till five o’clock with a short interval
for a light lunch is becoming the gen
eral rule.
A roll and a cup of coffee, the typi
cal French breakfast, is found hardly
sufficient preliminary' to such a day

FRANCE TO BECOME
GERMANIZED, SAYS
PENNA. PROFESSOR
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. (/P)—
France eventually must become Ger
manized in fact, if not in theory, in
the opinion of Dr. R. H. True, profes
{ sor of botany, University of Pennsyl
I vania. This conclusion is based upon
j a study of the history of agriculture
and populations from the earliest rec
ords to the present day, a subject
of which he has made a special study.
“I can’t see what is going to save
France from German agricultural
penetration,” Dr. True said. “History,
as I interpret it, revolves about the
| problem of food supply, and that is
primarily a land question. Politics
is the institution thru which land af
fects nations through their rulers.
“The Germans always have been ac
tive populators. From the earliest
times they have been boiling over
their boundaries. Julius Caesar
caught them raiding the Gauls. Not
many years ago the German tribes
again raided the Gauls thru Belgium.
The population push is just as great
in Germany today as it was before the
war. That is why the Germans are
making so much fuss about their col
onies.”
France, with a stable population, Dr.
True asserted, faced by land hungry
Germany possessing a highly devel
oped knowledge of modern agricul
tural methods, is bound to yield part
of her acreage.
1 “Italy, too, is faced with the need
for more farming land,” he added.
“That is what is the trouble with Mus
solini.”
“Japan, also, is up against food dif
ficulty. Birth control does not op
erate in Japan and her population is
picking up. What can the Japanese
do but hunt unoccupied or starve.”

FADEOUT CLINCH
GAINING OFFICIAL
FAVOR IN JAPAN
TOKIO, Feb. 10. (/P)—Not so long
ago the Japanese motion picture cen
sors permitted no picture to be shown
^n which there was a kissing episode.
The osculatory scenes were removed
bodily because in this country kissing
has always been considered extreme
ly immoral. Of late months, however,
the censors, influenced by the public,
have become more liberal. Now the
hero and heroine are permitted tc
clinch in the western fashion and a
brief kiss is allowable. But it must
be brief for if the scene becomes toe
ardent the censors will start using
their scissors.
Home office figures show that the
“love motive” in moving pictures is
gaining in popularity among the Jap
anese fans. A report discloses thal
last year more of the “heart interest’
pictures were imported into Japan thar
ever before.
More than 60 per cent of the moving
pictures used in Japan are importer
from Europe and America, the remain
ing 40 per cent being of domestic pro
duction. Japanese films have to dc
mostly with the historical drama, de
picting brave deeds of the ancient Sa
murai—which may explain the 40 pe:
cent.
California Has Corner
On Women Law Teacher:
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. (JP)
Two of the few women law profes
sors in the United States are mem
bers of the faculty of the School o
Jurisprudence at the University o
California.
In claiming this distinction for thi
Golden State institution, Professo
Orrin Kip McMurray, dean of th<
law school, said that the Universit:
has recognized the ability of wom-ea
in the legal profession.
“Women’s chief difficulty in the le
gal field has been gaining recogni
tion,” he said. “The ability , is there
but the fight is for general accep
tance of that ability. I believe tha
in this case, the West has set tto
pace for the rest of the country.”

KAISER S WINE
CELLARS HAVE
BEEN EMPTIED
_
HISTORICAL CHAMBERS UNDER
ROYAL PALACE NOW RENTED
AS WAREHOUSE
—
BERLIN, Feb. 10. (JP)—The Hohen
zollern wine cellars beneath the his
i toric royal palace in the heart of Ber
I lin have been rented as a warehouse
I by the Prussian government to the
wine firm of Lutter and Wegner.
Stripped of its thousands of bottles
of rare old wines, champaignes and
cognacs by raiding revolutionists in
November, 1918, the cellars contain
few relics of the generations of royal
families which drew their liquor sup
ply from the winding underground pas
sages.
There remains, however, an ele
igantly carved wine barrel, hooped with
| brass, which wine growers of the
| Rhineland presented to Augusta Viv
i toria, first wife of William II. Before
the wine dealers took the cellars there
were also a few of the imperial wine
glasses scattered about.
The stone vault in which the former
Kaiser secreted his valuable china and
silverware when he fled from Berlin
is now cluttered with barrels. The
imperial exile’s China and silver es
' caped detection and later was sent to
j him at Doom.

labor -without running afoul of the
immigration authorities.
The state -has just imported 5,000
quail from Mexico to help out the
Kansas farmers. They are expect
ed to eat up 125,000 insects during
next summer, and, with itheir ibrood
of young “bobby whites” to destroy
at least a quarter of a billion weed
seeds by autumn.
The Mexican quail is slightly small
er than the native bob white of Kan
sas, but the state game warden is
assured that the two will interbreed.
He estimates conservatively that the
purchase of 5,000 birds will bring
Kansas 25,000 young quail next sum
mer.
