I DISPATCH WANT ADS FOR RESULTS DOUGLAS DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1926. EUROPEAN CABLE NEWS REVIEW j (By Associated Press) < LONDON, Dec. 31. —Red Grange and j President Coolidge have been brealc j ing about even in the British press jin regard to the space devoted to j their respective activities. Tibe president's brief answer to his | wife's questions about the "sin ser mon” were quoted extensively, and b!is attitude on tax reduction also lias | attracted miucih attention. Numerous j stories are recalled pointing not oqly ! to his economy in words, but money !as well, and both ithjese attributes draw admiration here. | Grange’s meteoric rise to football fame and the coimlment thereon have given the impression that he easily : entered the millionaire class within 1 a few weeks. Good Queen Bess has always been ; pictured as merry and briglhit and red-headed, in English song and 1 story. | So when Gwen John made the ! bachelor-maid queen into a melan • oholy old maid in her new play J “Glorianna,” the public did not like ! it. It is all right for Hamlet to be ' melancholy, but that won’t do for | the snappy daughter of Henry VIII. I The Elizabethan age, as twentieth ! century England conceives it, was 'joyous. It was not time for sad i soliloquy and mournful introspection; j ft was all action and go. Miss Jo'hn’s new play, which Zang | will produced, makes Elizabeth a very solemn figure moving through many historical scenes. The critics say it is too historical and not hu man enough. The public would like to see more of Elizabeth the woman ; and less of Elizabeth the monarch | involved in weighty affairs of state 1 and ponderous old men of history. | The coldest December England has known for many years has called British inventive genius into play, i Many women are now wearing a new I type of muff, which contains a lining ! of rubber tubing which can be filled j with hot water to aid in warding off j chilblains and chapped knuckles. | - [ The popularity of the tango in Dondop has brought into vogue a ' new dancing costume for women, i which is something like silk plus fours. These are replacing the for mej- sheath-like dance frock. ’ I The long steps of thp tango de ! mand a freedom from the restriction of the narrow skirt and have brought in the ‘‘plus four” gown. When the ; wearer stands still, the effect is merely that of a full skirt frock, but immediate She begins jgliding over the floor the divided effect is plainly seen. ' British business men have taken John Bull by the horns and have been trying to coax him into the garden of economy. They are de manding the conduct of government affairs on a strictly business basis. A delegation froim the association of British chambers of commerce re cently had a conference with Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exche quer,. and urged closer scrutiny of the government expenditure. The chambers’ meimbers are agreed that adoption oif a business accounting system in all state departments is the only effective means of elimi nating waste. Air. Churchill agreed to give the suggestions every con sideration. i _______ The opposition press has been claiming that the government has been spending money with both hands and intimating that the public may have to face yet heavier taxes in the next budget. PARIS, Dec. 31. —“Picture brace | lets” with the pictures formed of | diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sap- I phires were the final and most ex- | pensive gasp of fashion for the 1925 gift season. j Some of these bracelets are an inch land a half to two inches in width, ! i se.t solidly with small diamonds sur j rounded by platinum with designs | formed of rubies, emeralds and sap ' phi'.resi. j For the narrower bracelets a slen ’ der Greek figure is the favorite de- I vice, and for the broader ones Egyp j tian scenes. I Some of the extremely elaborate ones are composed of successions of . small pictures, telling a story, with ! the various episodes being separated by bars of platinum. The Paris shoemakers are prepar ing the women’s styles which are expected to set the fasihion pace on I the Riviera this winter and to de termine what the most modish forms of footwear will be throughout the coming spring and summer. Enam ! ailed, hand-painted, or mother of ! pearl ornamented shoes are among the sensations. The enamelled shoes are made by a secret process and were introduced by Mile* Melanie Louason of the, Ambugu theatre, who appeared at tea at the Ritz wearing a pair of gold and white enamelled kid shoes, with \ a strap of black patent leather on which golden flowers were e naan el - | led. I Other makers are producing hand j painted models for 'evening and bou j doir wear. Holly designs and sprigs |of mistletoe nre being used largely j for heelless slipipers. For less sensational designs kid is in the lead with patent leather sec j ond and suede third. I A new claim to immortality has been discovered on behalf of that great discoverer, Christopher Colum bus, and should redound greatly to his fame in Boston. Columbus, among other things*, discovered America and Haricot beans. The former find has been a matter of common knowledge I for some time; the latter discovery has just been rediscovered by Henri L&clerc and placed before the world in an article in Press Medicate. Before tlhe 90’s of fifteenth cen tury, M. Leclerc nays, the civilized 1 world had munched the broad bean and the pea, hut knew nothing o£ thy Haricot bean or of Boston. Then ■Columbus went west and found the Haricot growing in Cuba, where the natives considered it a delicacy. In cidentally he discovered America and started the train of events which led eventually to the union of Boston and beans in one of America’s best known dietetic affinities. The Cihristimas season this year changed the show windows of the big Paris department stores into im promptu theatres for children. Wood en and rope railways were put up on the sidewalks and great crowds of women and children filed past the varied shows of the windows. Miniature movies showing travel pictures, mechanical dolls in wonder ful costumes executing an eighteenth century danice, electric railways, trains of the most elaborate pattern, teddy bears as big as tihieir prospect ive owners, armies of lead soldiers and bright colors and astonishing lighting effects were seen every where. Some of the stores invented new playlets or dramatized old stories and devoted seven or eight succes sive windows to the different scenes of the little dramas. On Sundays the crowds were so large that squads of policemen had to be called out to watch over the children. BERLIN, Dec. 31. —For, the first time in ten years Berlin’s restaur ants, saloons, dance halls and cases will be permitted to remain open all night New Year’s eve. Consequently all the tables have been already re served in the leading libatory em poriums. Huge orders have been placed With the bakeries for the inevitable Ber liner pfannkuchen, a sort of glorified doughnut whiCh forms the center of the gastronomic attractions. The proprietors also are laying in copi ous stocks of ham and eggs, as this dish (is much in demand in the wee hours of the morning. While in the province it is cus tomary to celebrate the coming of the new year in private homes, Ber, liners as a rule, insist upon con viviality in places of public amuse ment. The break-up of the great Stinnes combinations has caused the aban donment of a plan, long cherished by Hugo Stinnes and his sons, of erect ing an imposing family mausoleum In the Ruhr valley. The mausoleum, designed by Franz F.i-antzky, was to have cost $500,000 ar.d was intended to resemble the hotel Des Inva.lt ties, Paris, which con tains the tomb of Na.poieon. Twenty-seven massive pillars were to support a structure topped by a cupola- In front of the building cascades were planned in three tiers. The whole was to be symbolic of coal and -.vater power, the founda tions of the Stinnes fortune. Originally the site iwas intended by Hugo Stinnes for an imposing coun try residence. The war and the in flation period forced him to abandon the plan. Now the break-up of the fortune has thwarted the mausoleum project. Beilin music love is are hailing the advent of a new musical prodigy m the person of IG-yeas-old Raja Gar busova, a Russb n girl cellist, from Tiflis, whom some critics have placed in the same <it gory w.th Pablo Casals, king of cellists. Raja was discovered by S. Meyro vitc-h, an American engineer In Rus sia, who made possible her appear ances before German and French au diences. Since she was eight year** old, the blonde, curly-haired, blue eyed Raja has been playing an in strument usually considered to re o.uire too much strength for a woman to achieve more than mediocrity on it. Raja, critics say, plays the cello “as though she had been born with it.” The charge that post-war Europe is not producing worth while com posers is being challenged by ad mirers of Ernst Roters, orchestra di rector of Kammerspiel theatre, Ham burg, who recently introduced him self to critics In a concert of his own works given with the philhar monic orchestra of Berlin. Roters looks to Richard Strauss as his chief inspirer. H’e scorns the ultra-modernists such as Stravinsky and Sclhioenberg and prefers to travel the route of melody and beauty of sound rather than that of disson ance for its own sake. He plans to visit the United States next year. A breakfast preparation company has been organized in Berlin for the delivery of luncheon sandwiches into homes or offices between 8:30 and 10 a. m., in time for the second of the Germans’ five meals a day. Posters of the concern announce that the luncheon package consists of two bun sandwiches, six morn ings a week, for 85 cents, payable weekly in muclh the same manner as newspaper subscriptions. Subscribers have a choice of cheese, eggs, egg salad, halm, cold roasts or sausage and may order a differ ent variety each day. c)mcere ' GOOD WISHES 1} We Extend The Glad Hand For A Better 1926!
