Broadway Capricious Old Manhattan Will Have a New Favorite This Year When Music Halls Bulge for Vicente Escudero New York — Manhattan, like aome capricious old monarch, seeks a new favorite each season. And the world, aware of this, hunts down its most promising ex ponents of the esthetic, the revolu tionary and the dazzling. For Nev; York c an be a most genera us poten tate rewarding its favorites with gold and applause and national rec ognition. Last year it was Mary Wigman, the German creator of a new school of dance. The year before it was La Argentina, the amazing Spanish dancer. Then it was Segovia, the guitar virtuoso; again it was Ra que) Meller. Nor does Gotham cast aside tjuickly those upon whom it has smiled. For many years they enjoy the big town's favors. Frau Wigman packs the halls this year even as she did last. And Segovia or Ar gentina, can still crowd Carnegie Hall. But meet the 1932 favorite—al though he has not yet landed on these shores! The fanfare is ready; the echoes from abroad have been allowed to sound in the 'proper places.” His name is Vicente Escudero. and he is a Spanish dancer with a background lar more colorful and romantic than most. For sev eral years he has been a pet of Paris. American tourists have al ready made Ms acquaintance and □escribe his dancing as the most virile of male solo work; his cas tanet and finger snapping execu tions, his rhythms and foot work ai, spectacular. Escudero is a gypsy son of the AIRCRAFT VALUE Washington-According to a re port of the aeronautics branch of the commerce department, aircraft equipment produced in the United States in 1930, both military and civil, was valued at $61,000,000. About $34,545,000 of this amount went for construction of heavier-than-air planes. COPS PLAY MAIDS Loe Angeles—Burly poiice offi cers, blushing deeply, played the part of a lady’s persona) maid when they were called upon to make an alibi.I on a disturbance report. They Granada hills. Like many a great artist, the streets of his home city were the training school. At the age ot eight he had discovered that the metal tops of manholes were resonant first-aids to a lad trying out those heel-taps sc es sential to the Spanish dance. When he was nine, cops were chasing him off the streets; as po lice are accustomed to do with precocious gamins the world over. But his efforts had not gone unnoticed by other and cider street performers. And so, when little more than nine. Esc.itiero was off through the countrysides o! Spain, a wandering gypsy with a troup of nomadic performers. They drifted into villages on I fete days; they danced at fiestas and fairs and existed by passing the hat. The day came when this im plication of beggary began to both er the growing youth. One day, j asked to pass the hat he rebelled He was too proud. A fight ensued, and swinging on a tormentor Escu dero bade farewell to Ins vagabond companions. He returned to Gran ada, and now he could appear in the music halls. After some years, he made his way to Paris and took a modest studio in the Montparnasse section. While appearing in the music halls, he also improved his technique. The legend goes that the studio in which he has spent many years has holes in the floor, testi monials of endless practice at heel tapping. He has refused to have them mended and although great , fame has come to him, Eetudero has preferred to remain there. One of his innovations was the usee of castinets made of various metals. This, of course, was an idea inspired by his days of tapping against manhole tops. He made I clappers of silver, copper, brass, found the party to be a lady. Not only that, but, in addition to being a lady, she was very well dressed in a pair of slippers and a string of beads. The officers had to dress her before they could arrest her lor drunkenness.

French Writer on American Culture I should like to meet In every Euro pean country women ns truly culti vated ns those whom I have seen in the grent colleges of the eastern T’nited States—at Bryn Mawr, nt Vassar and at Smith. My students nt Princeton were ca pable of following Intelligently a lec ture In French, and their reading was wide. To rend the output of the younger American authors is to be convinced that it could not be the expression of an uncultured people. A novelist such ns Hemingway, by Ms taste and his restraint, heralds a grent epoch. A critic like Edmund Wilson would do honor to any French or English review. The tone of the best magazines in dicates a true taste for ideas. It might be answered that these mnga eines address themselves only to a small minority of highbrows, and that the rest are vulgar. But Is not that true of all countries? For my part, I think, like my fel low countryman, Paul Mornnd, that wo shall have difficulty in saving our western civilization during the next few decades, but that one of its sanc tuaries, along with Paris, London and some of the grent European uni versities, will be the rocky Islets of Manhattan.—Andre Maurois in the London Morning Post. Dorothy’s Mother Proves Claim Children don’t or dinarily take to med icines but here's one that all of them love. Perhaps It shouldn’t be called a medicine at all. It’s more like a rich, r '•» i concentrated iooa. It’s pure, wholesome, sweet to the taste and sweet in your child’s little etomach. It builds up and strength ens weak, puny, underweight chil dren, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks, makes them playful, energetic, full cf life. And no bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle Influence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thoroughly, tones and strengthens them so they continue to act nor mally, of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experi ence. A Western mother, Mrs. J. G. Moore, 110 Cliff Ave., San Antonio, Texas, says: “California Fig Syrup Is certainly all that’s claimed for it. I have proved that with my little Dorothy. She was a bottle baby and very delicate. Her bowels were weak. I started her on Fig Syrup when she was a few months old and It regulated her, quick. I have used it with her ever since for colds and every little set-back and her wonder ful condition tells better than words how it helps.” Don’t be imposed on. See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name, “California’’ so you’ll get the genu ine, famous for 50 years. Romantic Cipher Some years ago a clever American professor was asked by a young lady for a cipher that could be easily worked out without being too diflicult to read, whereupon he penned the following: u o a 0, but I 0 U; O 0 no 0, but O 0 me; O let not my 0 a 0 go. But give 0 0 I 0 U so. When the key to tills is obtained it lilts like a love song. The secret of It lies in the facts that a naught is a cipher and that It is easy to make this word "sigh for” whenever re quired. It reads phonetically with perfect ease, but the written form is perhaps more readily intelligible: Tou sigh for a cipher, but I sigh for you; O sigh for no cipher, but O sigh for me, O let not my sigh for a cipher go, But give sigh lor sigh, for X sigh for you so.

Merrill of the Brick church, New York, speaking about the necessity of beginning far ba< k to stop war, told about “one of the most involved and droll sentences" he ever heard. It was in the Catskills, in early summer, on a beautiful warm eve ning, A small lad suddenly ap penred, waving a smudge from which came a cloud of smoke. Some one called: “Jimmy, why are you using the smudge?
