Many Bars in English Courts Not Well Known London, Dec. 22.—Many American •.visitors and most Knglish people '..know the law courts and have at some time’ or another visited the .admiralty, divorce, probate and other .divisions to hear interesting cases, but few know of the existence of . various "bars" within the buildings .•■which are properly licensed for the 'tale of intoxicants. The biggest of these is the crypt .bar, where ail sorts of laymen and ■ legal a.u thorites congregate during 'lunch time and where as many ac tions have been settled between goiicl Jtors' clerks as those which come he ffore the judge. There Is a tiny little rbar reserved exclusively for officials •of the court, who boast they have the ;best "draught" ale In London, while V'inother caters to the staff and police _When the latter are off duty. 1 The refreshment department of the ‘courts is large but provides homely ‘fare. r -—• » Argentina's productionfit cattle lias ■Increased 24 per cent, since 1914.

World Monday morning. The photograph 'is that of Rhoda and Broshell who believe in "saying it with music.” The act is one of the features on the current bill at the World and they have volunteered their services to help make the big doings a success. Making up the list features that will appear at the morning show are "Thirty Pink Toes." the funniest comedy act in vaudeville; "The Poster Girl," offering impressions of famous stage stars: and Stanley Chapman, piano comedian. These acts are a portion of the present show at the World. From the New Empress where "Sis Hopkins" is being played by the Graves Brothers company, there will be offered characters trom that fa mous show, as impersonated by Irene Hardy, Roy Kinslow, Palmer Hines, Jack Buckley, Harry Allen and Her man Weber. Baby Peggy's first full length Jea ture, "The Darting of New York," opening at the Sun theater tomorrow, will be presented as the screen por tion of the entertainment. Baby Peggy will prove an ideal heroine for all the boys and girls since in this seven-reel comedy she does a host of thrilling stunts that are sure to bring screams of approval. Through courtesy of their respec tive unions, the stage hands, orches tra and operators have contributed their services t8 the cause. Arthur'Hays, World organist, will provide the incidental rpusic for the photoplay feature and in addition his organ solo, " Christinas Back In the Old Neighborhood." And say! There’s going to be candy for each child. When uester Clancey, the “Johnston-*" eandv man. heard that there waa a party and no arrangement* had been made fot> candy—honestly that fellow was peeved. “That’s No Parly.” "A party, and no candy?" he asked. “Well that-* no party «t all.” So the Clancey Candy compnny sent up enough candy for every one of those children, but migush,—they sent It in buckets just like they send candy to every one else. Well, we (flat ted out to try and buy some sacks for that candy. Carpen ter Paper compnny has every imagin able sort of a sack, but we haven't the slightest idea what they cost be cause although we got the sucks, no amount of argument could get a hill out of (Carpenter for those sacks. Peanut", Too. Then along came one of the boys from the McCord Brady company. And we told our trophies to him and how fine everyone was to us—believe it or not. that gentleman sent up the biggest shipment of peanuts you ever saw In your life. We didn't know there were ao many peanut* In Omaha. We really think it's all part of a joke on us.

Dec. 22.—Ahbe Fouls Byil louzie, priest of Auray, has just been fined ]« franca by the I.orient cor rectional rollrt. because he performed a marriage ‘‘in extremis" before the civil ceremony had been performed. Abbe Gulllouzie's defense was the canon law and his own conscience. Madame Ta> Crecquer, a widow and mother of two children hy W. Muller, was apparently on her deathbed when tile priest was called in. Both the dying man and Muller asked the priest to tnarry them and he com piled. The woman later recovered. Muller is a German by birth, al though a naturalized French citizen. Finds Men Fat Not More Than Woftien Syracuse, N'. Y., Pec. 22.—"Menus ai*« no proof of the strength of the male," asserts Mrs. Klla Garrett, dietitian for university dormitories. Mrs. Garrett took over the plan ning of meals for men's "dorms” for the first time this year. Bhe says f he had some qualms at being able to appease men's fabulous appetites, i The menus, however, remained the same in both (he men's and the women's dormitories, but the quan tity was Increased. Mrs. Garrett soon found that the male student de vottred no more than the women. "I had always heard that men are great meat eaters," she said, "and 1 believed they scorned salads and such dainties and practically lived on pie, but. at each tneal meat and pie seem to disappear as rapidly in the women's dormitories. As for salads, the men are always asking for 'seconds.' "The women are the tea drinkers, though. Men (tick to coffee, nilTk Find occasionally cocoa. •'Women." says Mr?. Garrett, ‘‘oat a great deal more potatoes " She Fidds that this may explain the po|> ularlty of diet sheets and "the daily dozen" among Syracuse oeds.'
