Paris.—The great difficulty of find­
ing lodgings In Paris has been the
cause of many unusual incidents re­
cently.
Divorced persons seeking separate
apartments are having such difficulty
in finding them that In one case at
least they composed their tempera­
mental differences In order to keep
their old apartment
A painter and his wife who tied
been divorced by mutual agreement
were both looking for apartments.
Frequently their paths crossed In their
sear'll for quarters.
The first time
they met they bowed gravely but po­
litely. Their mutual smile gradually
broadened as the hunt for flats nar­
rowed down to a few hovels tn the
slum section.
"Let’s kiss and make up and co
back to our flat,” the wife finally said,
and they did.
President Mlllerand. who recently
took possession of the Elysee palace,
received 41 applications for his apart­
ment in the Avenue de Villars.
Henry Landru, who has been in La
«ante prison for the last 20 months
awaiting trial on charges growing out
of the disappea rance of 11 women, re­
cently wag dispossessed from the flat
that he had occupied on the Boulevard
Rochechouart. a rather sordid section
of ParfB. Requests came from every
quarter In Paris, some even from aris­
tocratic Auteui!, asking that the flat
be reserved.
A vagrant just finishing 30 days In
La Sante prison told his cellmate tin­
der sentence of five years for swln- ,
tiling that he nreaded to return Into
cold, dreary Paris. He was homeless;
prospects of spending the winter
nights under Paris bridges <lld not ap­
pear to him. The prisoners exchanged
clothing and cards of Identity, and
when the warder called for the va-
grant to send him out into the cold
world the swindler responded. The
fraud was discovered only when the
swindler’s lawyer called at the jail.

A lawyer In Chicago was retained
by a contractor to draw up his will.
The task was accomplished apparent­
ly to the satisfaction of the client;
the lawyer’s fee was paid, and the lat­
ter supposed, of course, that the mat­
ter had been concluded. To his great
surprise, therefore, he received an­
other call from his client the next
day, who expressed hfs conviction that
the affair had not lieen properly ad­
justed.
“Why, what’s the troubled asked

FASCINATIOM IN AIR FLIGHT
/artous Reasons Advanced Why Peo­
ple Will Pay High Price for Short
Trip Through Space.
Why do people fly?
Would y«'U caie for a spin In the
air so much as to spend $15 for a 20
minutes' flight? U so, what Is your
motive?
Interviewing a half dozen commer­
cial aviators along Miami’s water
front on this subject brought the fol­
lowing facts to light:
About 60 per cent of all passengets
carried on the short 20 minutes’ sight­
seeing flights are women.
According to aviators the types to
whom scraping the clouds appeals
are:
The wealthy nan—the business
man. He wants to see what dying is
like. He sees the future of commer-
eial aviation. The short dlght offers
also a novel method of entertuining
friends.
The “sport.” He flies for the ex-
dtement of the thing. He usually In­
sists on stunt flying. Then, too, an
occasional flight provides a way of
demonstrating to his friends hfs sport­
ing self.
The average man. He finds In the
short flight at $1» for himself or $25
for himself and a companion a method
of realizing the thrill and pleasures of
the air. He is presented with an op­
portunity of realizing an overwhelm­
ing desire at a minimum expense.
The large percentage of women
passengers is considered something of
a slap at those reveling in the thought
that women were too timid to fly. Ac­
cording to pilots, In most cases wom­
en accept an offer of an aerial spin on
the direct dare of their masculine
companion.—Miami (Fla.) Herald.

CAIRO
Government of Egyptian City Has in­
stituted School Where Stray Boya
Will Be Educated.
It looks as If the problem of the
waifs and strays of Cairo was going
to receive at last serious attention.
After much insistence on the part
of some public-spirited officials a spe­
cial school for boys of this class has
been opened in the environs of Cairo,
where they will be looked after aud
trained by the government without
their having committed some crime to
admit them into the reformatory, pre­
viously the only Institution of the kind.
Nothing so far has been done for the
girl children, though another home Is
promised for this purpose. It is there­
fore satisfactory to hear of the forma­
tion of an organization called the
"Brotherhood Federation," ostensibly
uoasectarian and International, with
the object of looking after and Im­
proving the lot of the child waifs gen­
erally.
A meeting recently held In support
of this movement was given much
prominence in the local English pupers.
but in spite of its intimate bearing on
a purely Egyptian problem none of the
Arabic papers appears to have given
the matter any publicity.—Christian I

Thirty years ago the men of Hart-

were accustomed to meet at a bridge
ou the edge of the town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
