SHOULD GIRLS
USE THE WEED,
PARIS COLLEGE
' _
PARIS, Jan. 20. (/P)—'The controver
sy over whether girl students should
smoke, which recently evoked so much j
discussion in the United States has j
reached the Sorbonne, Paris’ great cen
ter of learning.
Those who oppose smoking for wo
men of the university accuse the girl;
smokers of trying to “camoflage their
femininity” and the smokers reply wit j
some contempt that the charges are
“small town stuff” and those who are j
making the charges as “frowzy and i
old-fashioned.”
American and Russian girl students j
have taken the lead in the smoking :
campaign, and the habit has increas
ed notably during the present term, j
but the sight of a girl puffing a cigar- j
ette is still rare enough to shock some
of the Sorbonnites.
Although France claims fo lead the I
world in aviation, in number of rec-1
ords held, number of planes and the ;
quantity of other equipment, a recent j
monthly record of air passengers car
ried from Le Bourget airdrome showed
France last among the nationalities
who chose this form of travel. Even
Lapland, which boasts of a single air
plane, stood ahead of France in this
record. America was first.
During the month in question of all
passengers leaving Le Bourget for
London, Prague, Vienna and other con
tinental' points, 57 per cent were Am
ericans, 23 per cent British, 11 per
cent central Europeans, 5 per cent
Laplanders, and 4 per cent French.
The explanation of the high per
centage of Laplanders is that a dele
gation from that country attended a
meeting in Paris and departed for the
Swedish airport at Stockholm by way
of Berlin, in three specially chartered
airplanes.
Paris milliners have introduced a
new and rakish line for the 1926 mod
istes that threatens the “cloche” hat,
which reigned in 1925, obsolete. The
new line places the highest point of
the hat always aft, and hats that can
not get their backs up are fading from
fashion plates.
The new models seem to be a hy
brid between a round sugar loaf and
a square bucket, made of silk, felt or
velor. The wearer imparts her per
sonality to the front by inserting many
wrinkles or creases after the manner
of a man’s hat, but the back must pre
sent a sheer drop from the peak, which
may be anywhere from five to twelve
inches high, to the neatly barbered
nape of the neck.
Premier Briand often shows signs
of impatience with the wrangling that
is continuously cropping out during
the discussion of the various plans ad
vanced by successive finance minis
ters for the restoration of France’s
treasury.
Emerging from a particularly heated
session of the finance committee of
the chamber, M. Briand, with head
bowed and hands behind his back,
was crossing a large ante-chamber to
the deliberation room when he was
surrounded by correspondents.
“Boys, let me give you some sound
advice,” the premier began, thus cut
ting off any indiscreet questions. “If
ever you are offered the honor of pre
siding over the government of your
country, don’t accept.”
And he walked away without an
other word.
The chronic habit of many pale cus
tomers of an all-night Mont Martre
establishment of forgetfully leaving
their gloves upon the drinking tables
and the excessive alertness of the
“chasseur” in running out into the
street to restore the gloves to their
owners, appeared suspicious to detec
tives of the special drug squad. Just
as the “chasseur” "was handing one
of the “forgotten” gloves to its owner
a young American, the detectives step
ped in and confiscated the property.
In the index finger was a package con
taining ten grammes of cocaine.
“Toujours juene,” or “always young”
is the name of a new model, illustrat
ing the charm of the three-piece cos
tume which has been noted among the
1926 spring styles for women which
already are being exhibited.
The cloak is of black satin, the dress
of rose orange crepe de chine. A rib
bon of black satin reaches from the
guimpe to hem of the dress and car
ries a row of rose-orange buttons. The
sleeves are of rose-orange, deeply
scalloped, and peep out from the black
satin forearm-length sleeves of the
coat.

SEWARD DISPATCH
BRINGS TOGETHER
FORMER FRIENDS
NEWS SENT TO STATES BY GATE
WAY GENERALLY RELAYED
THRUOUT THE U. S.
Another instance of the power of
the press was brought forcibly home
a few days ago when a brief Asso
ciated Press dispatch from the Sew
ard Gateway to the Outside world,
relative to J. P. Hannon's snow bur
ied, home made antenna, reunited
friends who had been separated since
1918.
The dispatch, and almost everyday,
some happening of this district is
flashed to the States by the Gateway
A. P. correspondent, appeared in the
Duluth Herald, published in Duluth,
Minn., was as follows:
SEWARD, Alaska, Dec. 24. (/P)
—With the radio antenna buried
in the snow, J. P. Hannon, a Sew
ard resident, listens in on the
best programs of the States. He
uses, a home-made set.
At a distance of twenty-two miles
from the nearest railroad in Minne
sota is located the small community
of Meadow Brook. A certain chap,
by the name of Bert Halverson, came
across the item and wondered if the
J. P. Hannon mentioned could have
been his friend and co-worker of for
mer years. So he sat down and wrote
a letter to Hannon which was receiv
ed in the last mail. Quoting the open
ing paragraph of Halverson’s letter:
“Picked up a news item the other day
and made me think of ye olden time.
J. P. Hannon? Surely I know that
fellow, but maybe there are more than
one J. P. Well, if so, no harm done
for there is only one such that knows
me, so if I am shooting this at some
innocent person, I humbly beg his par
don.”
The letter hit home direct and J. P.
is profuse in offering his thanks to
the Gateway in bringing together a
former pleasant acquaintance. Verily,
the world is getting smaller every
day.
