Is “to much America.” Five music halls have closed or gone over to the movies. Tho three principal ones that remain are busy inventing new kinds of Jazz in an effort to keep their box offices open. Americans, and also English, Le Sidaner explains, do not come to Paris to see what they see at home and the French much prefer their own to foreign brands of entertain ment. He admits theatrical dlrec tors think otherwise and that most French playwrights and players are trying to turn out the American va riety of song and dance. Often entire scenes are given In English. Also most of the good choruses are English or American, because the French girls appear to have too much “Individuality” to kick all together. The much overworked bathing girl and the short-skirted woman also are Mamed. Bare legs nave ceased to have mystery for the pub lic and seashore costumes give a general Idea of the figure of the modern Venus. Therefore, says Le Sidaner, the public tired of half clad show rrirls. particularly as the specimens til ing to parade in undress werew t always of transcendent beauty When the slate Is wiped clear, and the theaters "resore art and elegance,” Le Sidaner feels sine Parisians again will go to the box offices and foreigners again will pay to see something distinctively French TRUSTEE’S SALE.

Fall Could Have Head The Future He Would Not Have Sold Newspaper* A dozen years ago a young Iowa lawyer, Carl McGee, went to New Mexico for the sake of his consump tive wife's health. He realized it would be slow work to build jp a legal practice there so he looked around for something else to do. He heard of a small newspaper that was for sale. It was owned by Al bert B. Fall, then U. S. Senator, which Fall had picked up in a busi ness transaction. McGeen bought the paper. At that time Senator Fall was the political boss of New Mexico, and a boss-ridden state It was Thinly populated, largely by ignor ant, easily managed ‘“greasers, state lent itself naturally to the role of a small political ring of which Fall was the king pin. The more McGee learned of ew Mexico politics the more he thought a cleanup was needed so he open ed a hot fire in his daily paper on the political ring. Fall warned him but McGee chose to defy tne sen ator and at that time Fall was ar exceedingly dangerous man to aufy. But the Iowan was a fighter too and he hung on. At this stage of the hostllitlri the odjis were entirely in Fall’3 favou His political power in the state was almost absolute. McGee was poor ' and a stronger, but possessed of chilled steel nerve. The fight be came so hot McGee feared -or his life and carried a gun. Then follow ed a shooting scrape one ciay In which McGee was quickest on the draw and killed his attacker. McG"C was acquitted on grounds of self de fense. While politically powerful Fall was not wealthy. He owned a 'arg» ranch but it was in a sadly run down condition. Taxes on it " ad fallen in arrears. About-this rime Fall was appointed secretary of In terior. Then oil scandals "bioke" but nothing at first Implied any thing more than a mlsjudgment on Fall’s part in granting the leases. McGee learned one day that the Fall ranch was being restocked with cattle and extensive improvements were being made. Back taxes too had been paid up, he discovered His suspicions aroused, he investi gated further, then went to Wash ington with the amazing evidence he had uncovered. The rest of the story Is known to everybody—"the little black bag,’’ at tempts to cover up the (100,000 bribe from Doheny, sale to Sinclair of an interest In the Fall ranch, the oil trials and at last conviction. But what the public generally docs not know is the part played behind the scenes by the young man from Tcwa, Carl McGee, who tried to clean up the boss-ridden politics of a state single-handed. Congress might well recognize his meritorious service to the nation In some suitable way as It grants distinguished service med als to our war heroes.

H’ London.—Elinor Glyn, founder of the modern sex novel, and creator of that mysterious word “It,* is in London again. When asked whether she regard ed the spate of sex novels which followed her notorious “Threa Weeks” as a menace to youth, ana whether her discovery of "It,’ or sex appeal, has not done more harm than good to girls, she replied. Written From Life. “I do not believe that the “sex novel,” so-called, has done any harm to the younger generation. Rather it has done good, and if I were to begin writing again I would not vary my subject or my style, because I write exactly as I feel aad as I see life. “I do not read many of the mod em sex novels, partly because I am an old woman and old-fasnioncd and partly because I have to write eight thousand words a week still. “But what I do see of the modem sex-novel makes me think that if they are not all, by any means, great contributions to literature and thought, they are at least an expres sion of the fact that this younger generation is determined to find out things by experience and practice rather than to rely blindly on pre cedent. “I am an optimst as far as the next generation Is concerned.

Linn, Mj<i Yellow Springs, O —In 1869 a handful of student* at Antioch col lege won their degrees and were graduated. It was a happy com mencement, for It signified that al though a great civil war had shaken the little institution to Its founda tions and almost caused It to perish when all the young men students left their classes to enlist, victory had come at last and the college would go on. For one young man, however, there was a tinge o( sadness. Hugh T. Birch, who had undertaken to finish the four-year course In thiec years, could not be graduated be cause he lacked completion of Just one required course. Working his way through college, acting as cap tain and ptteber on a victorious aseball team, and doing four years or college work In three, were Just a little too much. He left for Chicago, sludled law', and btecamo one of the successful attorneys of that city. Now, 60 years afterward, the fac ulty of a renewed and vigorous Antioch has voted to aw'ard Blrcl his degree—the bachelor of science degrees as of the class of 1869. "'he college which has called education an "adventure,” and which makes it so by providing Its students well planned contacts with the rea'tttes of life, has seen that, in this nan s life the requirements have been ful filled many times over. Dean O. L. Inman, in presenting Birch’s name to the Antioch faculty, pointed out that it was proposed to grant him, not an honorary degree, but a bachelor’s degree. In recogni tion of intellectual work actually achieved and verified. "I’ve been on Olen Helen with Mr Birch," declared ttys dean, ‘ and J stand ready to say that he knows hts natural history. If he could not have met the requirements Wl 1869, he certainly can now. I only wish all students of today could be defended on to retain, 60 years hence, «o rge a part of what they have ’earned" Birch has continued his educa tion through the years, and pos* sesses a rare knowledge In astron omy, entomology, botany, ornithol ogy and geology, as well as a mas.t try of his chosen field, the law. Recently Birch gave the college one of the n.ost beautiful tracts tn Ohio 700 acres adjoining tlie present' campus, which has been named Glen Helen In memory of his da igl.tcr.
