THE TAMPA SUNDAY TRIBUNE, DECEMBER 3, 1922.

RSI Scarred Face No Handicap For Plastic Posing Artiste (Special Dispatch.) PARIS. Saturday. PLASTIC poses require no un-marred facia) beauty, the Fourth Paris Tribunal yesterday told Mile.

Maud Sandoz, described as an esthetic artiste, whose face is scarred as the result of a taxicab tsccident two years ago. She asked 40.000 francs damages, but the' jurofis, after insisting upon ner present in court, decided that 5,000 francs ought to be sufficient to compensate for the shock to her nervous 6ystem, holding that the scars themselves did not interfere with her professional duties. Inferior outlook upon life, and when she Is married the standard of her relationship to her husband, her home and her children is not a high one. "I have seen these girls, after a few years In society, aged by ten years, and already before the age of 20 as worn out and tired as If they were 40. Although the physical consequences are disastrous, of even greater importance is the effect of this life upon character.

Then, in view of the absence of repose and time for meditation, and unhealthful meals, it Is no wonder these girls become a prey to disease. Society life encourages junwholesome habits and upsets the rhythm of the body." Dr. Savill said it was largely the responsibility of the parents, who should "apply their mlrids to postpone the downfall of our modern Start Exclusive Art Shop On Tips as Berlin Waiters Special Dispatch.) BERLIN. Saturday. PATRONS of the Hotel Adion, who have been tipping the poor employees liberally, earned to-day that two of the servants formed a company capitalized at 5,000,000 marks, which has rented two choice private dining rooms In the hotel, the Kaisersaal and the Spelgelsaal.

In addition one of the newly rich employees nas bought a beautiful villa in a suburb. LONDON DANCES HIT BY HUNTING SEASON Jazz Bands Go to Country Balls to Play for Fox Chasers. (Special Dispatch.) IvONDON, Saturday. London hostesses are faced by a shortage of good American and other Jazz bards for private dances this winter.

The reason Is the brilliant success of the hunting season. Every hunting seat gives one or two "balls, and many go for the regular county balls also. These parties, with less restraint and more intimate good fellowship than the formal town functions, have become so popular that the hunt committees have been compelled to dispense with the usual local talent, the lay organist, the country fiddler and the slipshod playing of the colliery hand and get the best London dance bands. The foxes are so plentiful since the war that they are embarrassing the hunts, as it is impossible to fill all the hiding places. As a result, although no hunt ever fails to raise a fox these days, the run is 6hort and does not often result in a kill, as Reynard can always discover plenty of holes.

Every day Is filled with many short gallops after the hounds, which the followers hail as more pleasant than the old time fourteen or fifteen mile grind. Another feature of the hunting success this year is the increase in the number of men held in the city on business who find it possible to spend the early morning in the office, motor out to one of a dozen home or country meeting places, get a good gallop and return in time to sign their letters at night. EXPLOSIONS IN PARIS STOVES LAID TO CRANK Believed Pieces of Dynamite Are Thrown in Coal Cars. (Special Dispatch.) PARIS. Saturday.

Numerous cases of anthracite burning stoves exploding in various quarters of Paris certainly cannot be ascribed to German hatred, the police declared today. Only a small quantity of German coal reaches the capital and is chiefly used for industrial purposes. In every explosion thus far the coal has been of English origin, and as it comes through different shippers the police believe that small chunks of dynamite or cartridges are thrown into-' the qars on the way to Paris by a crank, somewhere In the Boulogne area. A special squad of detectives has been assigned to track down the perpetrator, whose operations have caused no loss of life, though accountable for the wrecking of at least a dozen drawing rooms. HAPSBURGS FAMOUS WINES COMING HERE Austrians Believe Volstead Act Will Be Modified.

(Special Dispatch.) VIENNA, Saturday. Believing that the result of the Amer ican elections already settled the question of prohibition In the United States and that an amendment of the Volstead act Is assured, a group of Austrian wine growers is contemplating a trip to America to sell the contents of the famous Hapsburg wine cellars. There are 70,000 bottles of genuine old wines and liqueurs, as well as 80.000 litres of wine in casks to be disposed of. The chief attractions are said to be nineteen bottles of century old brandy and forty bottles of fine Auslese wine especially bought by the Empress Elizabeth. IS is hoped the sale will produce close to 3,000,000 francs.

WOMEN ON MOTOR TOUR TO CARRY REVOLVERS Marchioness of Queensberry Arms for European Trip. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. The Marlchoness of Queensberry and Miss Mabel Muir have left London to make an autoi.4obil tour across Europe in a two seated car. They will begin at Boulogne, go through the south of France and skirt the Alps, in northern Italy, passing through some of the Isolated regions. For protection each is taking a revolver.

FAMED LINCOLN'S INN TO HOLD CELEBRATION Elaborate Exercises to Mark Its 500th Anniversary. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. Lincoln's Inn will begin the celebration on next Tuesday of its" five hundredth anniversary with a "service of Thanksgiving for the growth an' prosperity of ts society during five centuries in the same The King, who is a Bencher of the Inn, will be present with the Queen, and the Archbishop of Canterbury will preach In the chapel. At the dinner in the hall there will be a notable gathering. Including besides the members of the royal family George Harvey, tne American Ambassador; the representatives of the countries allio with Britain during the world war lumerous legal lights.

Many Americans have studied law in Lincoln's Inn and a nur.iber of these will attvnd the Lady Battersea's BiogTaphy Contains Many Interesting Incidents. KINDLY TOWARD MARGOT Lady Jersey's Book Also Con trasts With Mrs. Asqulth's Volume Now on Market. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. Margot Asqulth's biography, which stirs up all the bitter personal aspects of the late war's politics, came out In book form this week, and London is smiling pleasantly over two other biog raphies.

One is that of Lady Jersey and the other by Lady Battersea. While these lack Margot's scintillating brill- ance, they contrast well In sedate charm with thase accusations of Margot's against the still living which are sure to bring bitterness in many places. Lady Battersea is the daughter of Sir Anthony de Rothschild, and she remembers seeing her great-grandmother, wife of the founder of the famous house, a woman who was born in 1754 and lived to 95. It Is the first time that one of the Rothschilds themselves has discussed the family history, and the book is full of interesting anecdotes from the time the Elector of Hesse-Cassel placed his treasures in the keeping of the founder of the house of Rothschild In 1806 when the French invaded Germany, and received them back again from the grandson years later, to the time when Lady Battersea herself visited the Kaiser on his yacht st Bergen and he blustered over the Anglo-German friendship. There was hardly a well known personality In all that time throughout the world who did not come into the Rothschild circle.

The family anecdotes, due to the novelty with which they expose the personalities of this family, probably are the most interesting in the book. For Instance she tells how Alfred de Rothschild, when he was a young man, kept a private circus on his place in Hatton, Buckinghamshire, and gave weekly performances, doing everything himself from leading the band to putting the performing animals through their tricks. She Is even kindly about Margot herself, referring to her as the real center of the souls," an attractive, beautiful girl, clever and vigorous, doing much to raise the Intellectual level of London society in the '90s. The dowager Countess of Jersey's book, "Fifty-one Years of Victorian Life," is in even a more kindly vein, consisting mostly of frankly admiring accounts of her intimate contacts with many great persons from Bismarck and Queen Victoria to Robert Louis Stevenson, who dined on her yacht in Samoa. WOULD NOT TIP HATS DURING COLD WEATHER Movement in France to Re strict Salute to Warm Months (Special Dispatch.) PARIS, Saturday.

A campaign has Just, been organized with the oblect of restricting salutations by the lifting of the hat to the summer months only. The leaders of the movement point out that many deaths occur in the winter months on account of men raising their hats and remaining uncovered for various reasons, such as while addressing a woman, following a funeral, making a patriotic speech or at unveiling of monuments. It is suggested that hats be raised as usual from Easter.to October 1, but that during the other months men when meeting women friends should wave an arm or even wink by way of salutation. In passing a funeral it is suggested that men bow or stretch out an arm. GENTLEWOMEN READY TO DO MENIAL TASKS About Only English Class Who Do Not Offer Protests: (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday.

Gentlewomen are about the only ones who do not object to doing menial work, according to Misa J. C. director of the Useful Women organization, with a membership of 1,000, who are out to do anything for anybody. She says that every week more titled women are taking jobs as a result of lost fortunes, and that many are finding a great measure of happiness and contentment in serving others, though they themselves have been served all their lives. Mies Kerr cited instances where they had become parlor maids, lady's maids and companions.

She added that they always dropped their titles to conceal their identity, that they might be saved embarrassment.

ADDRESSES CIVIC GUARD Praises Their Temperance and General Conduct All Over Country. (Speciat Dispatch.) DUBLIN. Saturday. A permanent training depot for the civic guard was opened by Gen. Owen O'Duffy, ex-chief of staff, this week when he raised the tricolor over Col-Hnstown Camp.

In addressing the guard Gen. O'Duffy said that the first men trained had been assigned to 160 stations over the country, and that they already have such a fine record of courtesy and efficiency In policing that people everywhere are writing to him offering congratula tions and thanks and explaining that the guard has won the support of ail classes by their own good conduct. O'Duffy said that one of the most difficult problems was the drink evil. adding: "Ireland never was drunker thar. it is to-day.

It is an absolute dis grace. The public houses in Dublin and in country towns keep their doors open practically twenty-four hours a day. and persons who cannot conveniently get to town manufacture their own. I am glad to hear that the civic guards are setting a good example in this respect. In some counties not a single member has entered a public house for the purpose of getting a drink since they began their duties three months ago." The Ulster Agricultural Organization, a society similar to the Irish Agricultural Organization, has he-en formed in Belfast under the presidency of Harold Barbour.

Owing to the partition of the country neither the northern nor the Fre State government would provide funds to promote the Irish Agricultural Organization, part of whose work is far outside the territory under Jurisdiction of the Free State Government. As the work depends somewhat on Government support it was decided to form a sep-'arate organization in Ulster. The purpose of this body will be to organize cooperative creameries and other farm industries and thus provide small farmers with the necessary machinery which now only large farmers can Sir Horace Plunket, founder and president of the original organization, which has been highly successful, sent a gift of 50 to the Ul- ster organization. One of the last survivors of the Dub-. lin contingent of the Papal Zouaves of 1859, Thomas MacKey.

After the defeat of the papal forces MacKey returned to Ireland and became a prosperous contractor.

WON FORTUNE ON, RACE, WAR HERO ENDS LIFE Shoots Himself While Struggling With Detectives. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. Two years after a horse named Furious had won him a fortune, Ernest Dyar. a war hero, killed himself with a pistol In a Scarborough hotel while struggling with detectives seeking to arrest him. At the Inquest the Coroner remarked that Dyar's life history would supply a novelist with material for a thrilling story.

Born of humble parents, Dyar became involved In trouble at an early age and went to Australia. He enlisted with the Australians arly In the world war and soon won a commission. At Gallipoll he was blown up by a mine but was not injured 6eriously. He was discharged from, the army after the war and put his entire war gratuity on Furious In tne Lincoln Handicap at odds of 33 to 1. His winnings amounted! to $75,000, with which he bought a farm, where he established a training stable and was prospering until about a year later his home was destroyed in a mysterious fire and he was unable to collect the insurance.

He was being sought on a charge of passing worthless checks when he committed nuicide. TO BOTTLE UP, MUSIC FOR HUNDRED YEARS Paris Opera Has Built Vault for Phonograph Records. (Special Dispatch.)

Germans Say They Are Living in Palaces Wastefully and Extravagantly. FATHERLAND HAS TO PAY Expense of Stay in Occupied Regions Aids Fall of Mark. (Special Dispatch.) PARIS.

Saturday. That the armies of occupation are living In luxury In the Rhineland is Set forth In a report from a German commission which reached the Reparations Commission this week, and in which It Is suggested that If the ax were applied in this direction It might have a substantial effect on Germany's inflation and might make reparation payments more likely in the future. At Mayence a Grand Duke's chateau 13 now occupied by the General In charge of the French troops of occupation at a cost of more than 3,000,000 marks this estimate having been made at a time when the mark was worth considerably more than to-day. Even considering the succepslve depreciations the expenditure for this chateau alone totals more than 1,000,000 francs. In addition the General Is provided with a summer residence in Waldhausen which has already cost the Germans 500,000 francs, not counting the main tenance charges.

At a chateau In Wiesbaden, where another French General Is housed, the cost has been 600,000 francs In three years, the General hav ing ordered it to be refurnished Just as it was In the days of the Kaiser's visits, although Berlin contends that the Kaiser only spent a few months there and always brought his own furniture from Berlin for the occasion. New electric candelabra been Installed and daily supplies of flowers and potted plants for the stairways are Insisted upon. The General and his family in Wiesbaden are occupying five salons, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three halls for concerts, dancing and banquets and two huge reception salons. In the same city the Governor's palace, which before the war wae used as a division-general's residence, is now used by a brigadier-general of the French army who, not satisfied with stove heating, has installed steam heat, and to satisfy his personal whim has bought Persian rugs at German expense, the whole costing another 200,000 francs. The report compares this with the comforts allowed German civilian officials, stating that a civil commissioner is allowed only 6,000 francs a year for a house in Wiesbaden.

At Bonn, the report states, the French General, Inspired by the success of other officers, spent 750,000 marks refurnishing the Crown Prince's palace. 250,000 marks on Oriental rugs alone. Even minor officers are sharing in the luxury, the head of the French army chaplains occupying a fourteen room apartment in which several of his relatives are lodged at German expense, an1 on which already nearly 300.000 marks nas been expended. As the majority of the officers have brought their families to the Rhineland it Is estimated that the unnecessary expenditures reach a total of several hundred million marks, which if they had remained in the German treasury would have stayed the fall of the mark and probably would have saved Germany from serious Internal political troubles.

FASCISTA BIRETTA FOR WOMEN'S HATS Paris Fashion in Headgear Reflects Mussolini's Advent: (Special Dispatch.) PARIS, Saturday. Mussolini's advent to power in Italy is reflected in France by the appearance of a new fashion in women's headdress. Fascinated by the Fascista biretta the French women have decided to introduce it into The ordinary shaped biretta, tried out two years ago, failed, but the new model is expected to prove popular, especially as the leading millin-ern intend to decorate it with golden strands hanging over the left ear. As yet there has been no mention of wearing black shirts, either by men or women In France. The students of the Latin Quarter alone will rival the women in wearing the biretta.

but there it is not decorated. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. The modern girl who leads a life of unreasoned excitement, smokes cigarettes, drinks cocktails and whisky Is denounced as an unhealthful influence upon civilization by Dr. Agnes Savill, who has had twenty years' experience In hospital work in Glasgow and London. Lecturing before the Institute of Hygiene she severely criticized the higher social life as a destructive agency to the nation's-health.

"Tho girl who commands the resources of parent wealth has a round i of continual excitement which results in mental and physical deterioration," said Dr. Savill. "This girl dispenses with the chaperon, and even if she retains the old high standard of chastity her mind often becomes poisoned, her ideals recede and she accepts an BUTLER AMASSES FORTUNE OF $60,000 Contts Looked to Maintenance of Lord Ribblesdale's Estates. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. John Hunter Coutts, who died the other day, left $60,000.

He was not a member of the famous banking family in fact he was Lord Ribblesdale's butler. As the man directly charged with the maintenance of Lord Ribblesdale's magnificent town and country establish ments, Coutts spent more than that annually for his master. As a large en tertainer and also England's handsomest peer there must be many of Lord Ribblesdale's guests ready to testify to Coutts's perfect service. But even so, the manager of an employment agency said that Coutts's luck must have been rare. "The average savings of a butler who makes the best of hls circumstances," said the manager, "amounts to $25,000 in a lifetime.

1 was for twenty-tive years a steward for the Marquis ef Dufferin and Ava, and I traveled all over the world with him. but when I don't suppose I could have placed my hands on more than $6,000, although of course I was a married tnan with a family and an aged mother to support. Perhaps a bachelor could do better. "There have been several butlers who have mad-i real fortunes, however, but generally through luck in speculating with their savings. ,1 knew one man whose fortune! ran up into such figures made on the stock market that he could sign, a check for $250,000 any day until the American panic in 1907 wiped out every penny he had, just when he had made up his mind to run his fortune up to a million.

"The bribery and corruptions act. which prevents dealers from paying commissions to servants who make. purchases, has made serious Inroads on the incomes of most "butlers. I knew one butler whose master asked him how much he would lose by the act, and when the master found that It was $1,500 a year he increased the butler's wages by that amount. "I know one footman who got a legacy of $25,000 from his employer.

But butlers to-day are lucky if they stay in the same place two years. They haven't the stuff the old time butler was, made of." ENGLISH FIREMEN ASK AID OF JERSEY Dartmouth Brigade Cables to O'Malley at Brielle for Advice. (Special Dispatch.) DARTMOUTH, Saturday. All members of the Dartmouth fire brl gade united this week In cabling to Frank O'Malley, deputy honorary chief of the Brielle, N. fire brigade, for advice.

Dartmouth's sturdy Devon lads are up against It. Back beyond the memory of man it has been customary for the chief of the fire department to be mar shal of the parade when the new Mayor is Inaugurated, provided no military or naval officer was around. This year there were no such officers in town, but one A. J. Willett.

a mere borough surveyor, assumed charge of the function. Moreover this man. aside from being a mere surveyor with no brass hat or red shirt at all, comes from the outside. When he took charge the firemen promptly handed their resignations, confident that the city fathers would refuse them. But their resignations were promptly accepted and, what was the unkindest cut of all.

the resigning firemen were told to turn In their uniforms, and an advertisement was posted in the Town Hall calling for new firemen and speci fying that they must fit, the old uni forms. Willett, the disgruntled ones allege, even persuaded the town fathers that it was the surveyor's duty to lay out the lines of the parade. Malley was selected as the one of whom to ask advice, because when he first set foot In Europe last summer it was on Devon soil that he trod. The Dartmouth brigade came over from Plymouth for the welcoming ceremonies. and an engrossed copy of O'Mailev a speech accepting a cask of pickled fish nangs in the fire house.

This includes the line: "Neither fire i.or water nor anv combination thereof should separate our rea sninecl nearts." There ls one hole in the council' nr. der: No mention Is made of equipment. The last line of the cable to O'Malley reads: "Please say. chief, what shall do with the ax." All Devon 1b waltlna breathlessly to find out whether O'Mal IB f3 1 PARIS GIVES THANKS FOR MONKEY GLANDS Humorists Have Opportunity to Poke Fun at Cabinet Ministers. (Special Dispatch.) PARIS, Saturday.

The rumor that the two chimpanzees recently acquired by Dr. Serge Veronoff were destined for the rejuvenation of French Cabinet Ministers has been seized by the humorists of the Paris press as a delightful opportunity for poking fun at them. A canvass of the portfolio holders elicited varying opinions, some serious. Premier Poincare, who does not believe in monkey gland operations, says that the power to remain young is everybody's. "Simply turn all super fluous regrets away from you," he says.

"Don't waste time looking back into the past look to the future with confidence and you will remain young." Gen. Maurice Manoury, Minister of the Interior, who lost a leg In the war, absolutely refuses to attempt anything in the rejuvenation line. "Not even if 1 became a few days younger." The Minister Of Agriculture, M. Cheron, says that he hasn't time for it. "I have enough to do to keep the animals young.

1 am sure they don't ask for rejuvenation," he said. Andre Maginot. Minister of War, likewise says he has no time to think about rejuvenation. The only exception in the Cabihet Is M. Col rat, Minister of Jus tice, who said "To be young again, to live, with the young I am ready to try the experiment any time." Laurent Eynac, Minister of Aviation, also is keen for the experiment, but he wants a guaranty that after the operation he will live another fifty years.

LLOYD GEORGE RIVAL OF CHARLIE CHAPLIN English Applaud Them on Screen More Than Others. (Special Dispatch.) LONDON, Saturday. David Lloyd George's picture is still the loudest cheerel tin vaudeville and movie houses. This week at the Coliseum the pictures of a score or more politijians were shown to London's largest audiences, composed of people capable of enjoying everything from Moliere's "Tartuffe.y by Silvain's company from the Comedie Francaise, to trick bicycle riders. Bonar Law, Winston Churchill, Herbert Asqulth and others get scattering applause from various parts of the house mixed with boos and hisses, but when the former Prime Minister's face is flashed on the screen a tide of real handclapping and cheers sweeps through the orchestra and gallery, and there isn't a single boo.

inquiries at turn headquarters re vealed that the same is true throughout the country despite the elections. "But why not?" one film man said. "There is no question as to his popularity. With one exception Lloyd George's Is the best known face, and the best known name, not only in England but In the English speaking world, because he has been longest in power through the most thrilling time. The one exception seriously is Charlie Chaplin." GAME OF BEAVER NOW IS FOUND INSULTING Youth Fined for Shouting at Bearded Man.

DRAG NOTED BANDIT FROM CAVE IN SICILY Italian Police Track Famous Highway Robber to Seaside Cavern.

(Special Dispatch.) ROME, Saturday, The Sicilian bandit Is no Invention of the storybook, as the weary police who have Just captured the notorious brigand Andaloro can testify.

Andaloro killed several police officials and private enemies, but his worst crime was the murder of nine members of a family with whom he had lived. Including three women.

The police Issued thirty warrants for his arrest, but nobody had the temerity to attempt the capture of the blackbearded brigand. Finally, under pressure by terrorised Sicilians, the police organized an elaborate hunt, tightening the circle around Andaloro till he was traced to a cave near the sea. He had blocked the entrance, but the police used pickaxes to good effect. Then none dared enter the cavern where Andaloro waited. The police forced an associate of Andaloro's to enter, but her fear of the brigand was greater than her fear of the police, and she ran out shrieking.

Finally, two lieutenants braved the dark recesses and dragged out the Blackhander. Now the police are catching their breath before making an effort to capture Andaloro's band and dozens of other outlaws who pursue their predatory careers on the Island.
