P The fear of a ml nnxo in nllrgrd to linvo canned silk Ntockiiign practically to disap pear from l'aris streets during the past week. Hitter cold weather was responsible. It was no a question of style, but one of comfort, which brought out neat gaiters, over well cut shoes and heavy woolen stockings to replace the flimsy silk creations as ankle protectors. Tho following paragraph, printed ill one of the lending stylo periodicals at the beginning of tho cold wave over the signature of one of the most renowned doctors of l'nris, is said by the ftnile to have been responsible for the unprecedented run ou gaiters and woolen stockings. It read: "It is really wise to dress warmly, for it keeps the circulation right ami helps save one from a red nose and that pinched, blue look about the uioutli which is so very unbecoming." LIQUOR TftXATlON BR1SATTEI1I1: i niUMINHHAM, Ala Jan. ft. I A. p.) During the lifetime of the present Conservative government the question of tho heavy bur dens of taxation borne by the liquor trade will receive the clos est attention of tho cabinet, ac cording to Colonial Secretary L. S. Amery. ' The secretary told a iceent meeting of the wine and tplrit merchants theirs was li licensing trade because it dealt "with a commodity which when taken In moderation was harmless and en joyable, and to that extent bono ficial, but when taken in exnejs was undoubtedly the cause of a good deal of ill health, misery, suffering and many social evils." "The government could not," the speaker continued, "deal with these great problems in the jcruds and rudimentary fashion advo cated by a certain type of mind by sweeping away the trade al together, or it that could not be done by harassing the members of it and making their lives mis erable. The experience of the United States has shown that even if Great Britain could 'rise to the pitch' of a national de cree abolishing the production of alcoholic liquor. It would not solve the problems." Such, a decree might doprive "millions of sober minded people of refreshments which had done them' no harm in the past and of which there :as ' no reason to deprive them," the secretary said, adding that it "would not prevent real intemperance as tho Ameri can experience has shown." Concluding Mr. Amery said that to indulge in v liquor in modera tion when it was allowed by the laws of the -country "was a per fectly natural, moral and temper ate action," hut to Indulge in al cohol even in moderation against the laws of the country, and thereby inducing large numbers of people to earn their livelihood by lawbreaking was "intrinsically a worse form of Intemperance than drinking In a country where the law allows intoxicants to be drunk." Mr. (Amery declared he did not believe that that kind of legis lation "whether carried out na tionwide, as in tho United States, or by patchwork involving various schemes of local option, would make for the good or the pro motion of real temperance."

Guard Service li Best 'A throV-letter word meaning And it muit b "emu" or "jnu.' The cross -word craze is sweeping the country, with little indication that its populariM "is waning. There is a man in South America, I'aul Meievx. who is Raid to be working on a cross word puixle, declared to be the lar geNt in the world, according to Thorn ns I,. AIuhpoii, writing in ftio learbnrn Independent. This puzzle was made by an Englishman. It is fivp foot smiarc, made on parchment. Kach Htpiarc is three-fourths of an j inch on each side. Puzzle Not New. The pitazle is not new, Mr. Mas son declares. In this country as fur back as the seventies, cross-word j puzzles appeared in St. Nicholas reg ularly. The "present revival of tho piiKzcl is due to two young men in , New York, Simon and Schuster, who j decided to 'go, into the publishing i business. One day, after they had started, Mr. Simon was called to the house of a friend and asked to bring along a cross-word purelc for enter tainment. Vp to that time he had no idea of cross-words. lie recalled that he had seen cross-word puzzles in the New York World; it come to him that F. I. A. of The World had referred to them in his column. Suddenly the idea ftruetf his thut here was a chance to publish n book. 1 Many On Hand. After consulting the puzzle editor of The World, it was found that more flmn l."MM) erossword puzzles were on hand. They started publishing thein. One week, the paper left tho puzzles out, and tb,ey Rt t"howls' liy the hundreds from the cross-word fans. Then tho puzzle books, came out. The edition went into the .'100.000 class, and iu one day more, than 5.', 000 copies were sold. In New York there is only one paper of any stand ing. The Times, which does not issue cross-word puzzles daily. The puzzle got its starMn (.Jreece. where great statesman sd it to re lax their minds. Itobert Iansing :s declared to be a cross-word pur-zlo fnn.- tMhers ore Mary Robert Hino hart, Kathleen Norris, Galett IJur gess (who has invented a number of cross-word puzzles), Admiral Sims, Cyrif Maude, tfic actor, and Neysa MeMein . Started From Anagram. The puzzle got its start from th-; anagram, which is as old as the hills. Socrates delighted in anagrams, and used them as a diversion from the dis comforts of his wife's presence, an cient gossip says. Shakespeare's Fui staff attacked nncient anngrnms. Tho skeptic and intellectual of his time, Pieere Hayle (1047-1700), pronounc ed all anagrummatists- as wnn-ng in taste and judgment. The Hebrews classed anagrams as cabalistic. They were common in Kgypt and both I'tol- omneus, IMiiladelphus and his queen Arsinoe had their names made in cross-word puzzles. 'It is undoubtedly good practice, says Mr. Masson.
