Parisians Cling
To Spring Fairs
Huge Crowds Still Attend
Markets Where Ahnost
Anything Can Be
Bought
Paris.—Spring is the season for fairs
In Paris, and they are treading upon
pne another's heels these days. Like
11l the Old World countries, France
has never lost the custom or the lik-
ing for these gatherings, where one
can bargain for and buy everything
from sausages to fire engines, The
Poire de Saint Germain, for instance,
dates back to the Middle Ages. It was
even held in the same place then as
Pow—the square before the Church of
Bt. Felice—and its distinctive charac-
ter has not been lost through the cen-
turies.
These are hard times, even in
prance, and perhaps there is less buy -
g now. But the people go in the
ame numbers, and in the case of
eat fairs, like the Foire de Paris,
Which ended just a little while ago,
they take their lunch and make a clay
of It. •
The Foire de Paris is the greatest
pf all the annual fairs. One sees there
p little of everything that the city pro-
duces or trades in, whether it be a
Rteel crane or some pate de foie gras.
Covering many acres out at the Porte
le Versailles on the edge of the city,
it has its own great permanent build
Ings. There are streets of booths—
Ininiatu're shops, where one can buY
ptything under the sun; whole blocks
ftevoted to wines and liquors, others to
ausages, another to rugs from Al-
ers and still another to sweetmeats.
ou can see the latest in dynamos,
have some of the newest perfumes
prayed at you or taste a sample of
he goat's milk cheese which French -
en have been eating even since there
trere Frenchmen.
The St. German. Fair, on the other
hand, specializes. Conscious of its
medieval beginnings, it puts on an an-
cient air, and sells chiefly antiques
and old jewelry, embroideries and pic-
tiures. It is built like a miniature
medieval city, with walls about it,
booths made to copy quaint old shops,
a theatre in the old style where they
'give medieval comedies and sing old
French music, and hawkers, musicians
and magicians in medieval costume.
Then there are amusement fairs
that go the rounds of the city, a -
month here and a month there, from
Spring until Autumn. They have their
merry - go - rounds, fortune tellers,
shooting galleries and candy booths.
And one by one come the little spe-
cial fairs—the Sausage Fair, the Wine
Pair, the Flower Fair and many others.
It must be good business, for the mer-
chants would never dream of letting
an opportunity go by for holding a
fair, and it must be advantageous, for
the housekeeper and the man in the
street would never miss a chance of
'going to a fair, uules•s they go for the
amusement, of which there is always
plenty.
"Has he got wheels in his headrt
"Yes, and an extra tire."

Traffic Officer Carries
Red Light on Back
Bloomingdale, N,J.—Route 23, which
passes through here, is one of the most
traveled highways in New Jersey. At
the triroad intersection, often referred
to as a "bottle -neck," cars frequently
are stalled for several miles, particu-
larly on Sundays and holidays.
The task of directing traffic at this
intersection is not an easy one. At
night there is only the light from
passing automobiles. The traffic offi-
cer on duty in order to keep traffic
moving must allot time to each route
in rotation, and in so doing, has his
back to one of the three roads at all
times. It sometimes is difficult to see
him. As a safety measure, a red
lamp, which straps to his back, has
been developed for his use.. Traffic
halts when he turns his back to one
of the intersecting routes.

Health is Wealth
Says London "Spectator"
We are learning gradually the les-
son of the new patriotism—that -the
first thing that should concern every
Englishman about his country is the
bodies and souls of its citizens, declar-
ed the London (Eng.) Spectator last
week. The bodies are in some respects
easier to care for than the souls. If,
in historic language, we recognize the
inalienable right of every Englishman
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-
piness, the first task is to see that his
outward existence is such as to make
that triple aim in some measure real-
izable.
A CLINICAL TEST
Proves That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Quickly End Chronic Fatigue
A girl student, pale and rniulown in
health, was given a blood test on No-
vember 15, 1932, The haemoglobin
content of her blood was only 75 per
Ment., her red corpuscle count was but
'1,096,000. She was anaemic.
The physician who examined her,
,Pink Pills and their usefulness in such
lWho knew the formula of Dr. Williams'
cases, told her to take two of the pills
after each meal. This she did and one
Month later had increased her haemo-
tO S8 per cent, and her blood
count to L. 288,000. She saki she had
more strength and felt better. Two
months later: both haemoglobin and
corpuscle court were normal and she
was well.
When the haemoglobin content of
your blood goes down your energy,
vigor and strength go down. To re-
store then you must build up your
blood. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
do this has been proved by many
clinical tests like the one above. Get
a box at your druggist's toalay and
start on the road to health, The price
Is 50 Cents and each box contains full
directions for the (treatment,
COULD NOT BUTTON
HIS COLLAR
Weak after Rheumatism
There is only one way to deal with
rheumatism. It is not sufficient merely
to clear it out of the system—it must
be kept out. For 10 years this man
has been free from the trouble:—
"A bad attack of rheumatic fever
10 years ago laid me up for four
months. When I started work I could
not raise my right arm sufficiently to
button my collar at the back. Having
to get my own living, I became very
anxious, because of my arm being so
weak, so I started taking Kruschen
Salts in small doses straight away,
and have been taking it ever since. I
am pleased to say I have not been
troubled with rheumatism during this
time. Although I am 61 years of age,
I feel quite fit for my work."J. E. M.
Kruschen dissolves away those
needle -pointed crystals of uric acid
which are the cause of all rheumatic
troubles. It will also flush these dis-
solved crystals clean out of your sys-
tem. Then if you keep up "the little
daily dose," uric acid will never form
again.
Loneliest Woman in
London's Limehouse
How many Chinese women are
there in London's Limehouse today?
Two hundred? One hundred? Fifty?
Wrong! There is only one!
She is Mrs. San Sani Sing, a love-
ly but lonely little lady.
Limehouse and Pennyfields have
changed, and this is one of the sur-
prising facts the reporter learned
about the great transformation.
Mrs, San Sam. Sing is a typical
daughter of the Orient. Her husband
keeps a general store in Limehouse
Causeway, where all sorts of Chinese
delicacies such as bamboo shoots,
Sha Ho rice noodles, and dried lichen
can be obtained.
Mrs, Sing has tiny feet. Her dainty
hands move in quick expressive ges-
tures. She has a wealth of lustrous
black hair, and almond eyes with
lids that droop shyly when strangers
are present.
Scarcely ever does she stop to
speak, for, although she has lived in
Limehouse for several years, her
knowledge .of English is still limited
to a few simple words.
To all her neighbors she is as
much a mystery as on the first day
she settled in their midst, '
"I feel awfully sorry for her," said
one of her near neighbors. "Of course
she is' very happy with her husband,
but when he is busy in his shop she
seems as lonely as a little orphan."
Limehouse, Pennyfelds, once the
sone of Oriental orgies and blood-
thirsty fc?ads between rival tongs,
where knives spelled swift and silent
death! All that is a thing of the'
past,
Today the whole of the Chinese
population numbers scarcely one
hundred!
It is no longer a warren of opium
dens. In fact, in the whole of China.,
town there are now only three con.
firmed opium smokers.
"Manual labor is just as honorable
as any other .activity." --•-Adolf Hitler.

A subscriber writes in and wants to
know if it's possible for an editor to
tell the truth all the time. Yes, it's
possible, but not safe.
A man never realizes how many
things he disaproves of until his own
daughter reaches 16.
Young Bride (calling from the pan-
try)—"Dickey, I want you to bring me
a mouse trap home to -morrow."
Young Hubby — "But, Angel, I
brought you one home yesterday."
"I know, pet, but that oae has a
mouse in it."
Ripples
A blotter absorbs everything and
gives out nothing; don't be a b>,otter.
After all, it isn't your needs that keeps
yon broke; it is your wants. Before
the ceremony he tells her: "how dif-
ferent fihe is," but afterward he says:
"you're just like all other girls." In
any family discussion, the share -the -
work movement is enthusiastically en-
dorsed by mother. Too many people
are looking for a soft way to get hard
cash. The wise person wastes no
time whining for things he knows he
can't get. A girl who knows one boy
understands them all, but a boy may
know all girls and not understand one.
The forgotten man is the waiter who
used to be remembered after the meal.
The best way for a man to keep silent
is to have a quarrel with his wife. The
less heart a man puts into a task the
more labor it requires. An executive
is one who gets paid for having sense
enough to hire somebody else to do
the work. Most of us would be will-
ing to settle down if we were only
able to settle up. .Many of us eat too
nludh, talk too mach, and work and
think too little.
It's hard to say which gives the
modern father the most gray hairs—
trying to keep a son in college or try-
ing to keep a daughter in clothes.
Marjorie — "I take half an hour
beauty sleep every afternoon."
Clarice—"You should make it longer,
darling,"
Beautiful girls are more plentiful
than intellectual ones, and a grouch
remarks that this is in keeping with
the demand.
We hear a good deal about will
power. But, after all, what good does
will power do? A mule has will power,
but who wants to be a mule?
Now they tell us that the back of
her neck is the safest place to kiss a
girl. We never had any hint that the
idea of safety entered into the matter
at all.
Helen—"My word; Dick, you've got

Dick ---"She's certainly that. She

The conceited young man who had
stayed rather late playing bridge was
given a lift to the station in his host's
car.
"1 hope," he said to the chauffeur,
"that 1 won't miss the last train."
"You won't, sir," said the driver, sig-
nificantly. "The governor told me he'd
give ine the sack if I brought you
back,"
The following correction appeared
in a provincial paper:

error, Mr. Doe is really a detective in

A little boy was saying his prayers
in a very low voice.
"I can't hear you, dear," his mother
whispered.
"Wasn't talking to you," said the
youngster, firmly.
A bachelor was engaging a maid to
assist his housekeeper.
"Now, as to your evenings out," he
said, "I'm prepared to meet you—"
"Oh, you needn't worry about that,"

see me home."
Doctor Specifies Types
of Surgical Risks
London.—Speaking of operations,
are you a good surgical risk? In other
word's, what are your chances of mak-
ing a comeback after you've been
under the knife?
It depends pretty much upon your
social status, your occupation, upon
whether you're fat or thin, and upon
a lot of other things, Dr. A. Basil
Rooke, writing in the current Practi-
tioner lists a few of them.
Jews and Welshmen have the worst
record, he finds. Upperclass patients
generally have less chane than their
social inferiors. Clergymen, doctors,
and nurses are bad patients.
HEAVY PEOPLE POOR RISKS.
Lightly -built and wiry persons are
better risks than the heavily -built and
muscular. Very thin persons, how-
ever, are poor risks owing to t'neir
high metabolic rate (in lay terms: the
rate at which they burn up energy)
and lack of nutritional reserve.
The "skinnier," at the same time,
can be operated upon more rapidly
than the "fatties." Generously -larded
patients present an especially bad
prospect for abdominal surgery.
As a rule, writes Dr. Rooke, the
higher the social status, the worse
the operative risk. This he attributes
to in -breeding and' over -development.
Skunks Like Honey
London,—Skunks continue to ravage
the Belmont locality and 17 hives of
bees were destroyed recently at the
Layfield Farquhar Apiary. According
t'o local naturalists, the skunks scratch
on the hives and when the bees
emerge they are caught with one paw,
the skunk meanwhile holding the
other paw over its eyes to avoid being
stung. Poi*'ned eggs were set, and
five skunks were found dead nearby.
