OLD-FASHIONED PARIS In some respects, Paris, dictator of women's fashions and the gathering place of the ultra-smart, is far behind the times. New York City has more telephones than are in use in all of France. On the streets of Paris there are 500,000 vehicles of different sorts, and of these only 50,000 are privately-owned automobiles, while 400,000 are bicycles. Imagine any American city with eight times as many bicycles on its streets as automobiles. It is amusing that American women will allow the old world to tell them what to wear. But there are signs of breaking away from the dictation of Paris in the matter of styles that bodes no good for the French designers of gowns and hats. The "Hindenburg line" withstood the battle of ballots. The veteran field marshal showed greater strength at the polls than was expected.

The veteran field marshal showed greater strength at the polls than was expected. "CAPTURE" OF HAWAII SIGNIFICANT Hawaii has "fallen" to the Blue (or "enemy") attacking forces. It has been demonstrated in the gigantic war game in mid-Pacific that the American land defense of the Hawaiian Islands is insufficient—that the defense of the islands, under present circumstances, requires the active cooperation of the navy, should the islands be attacked by a first-class power. The fruits of the big war game should be strengthening of Hawaii land defences, in so far as this may be done properly, without violation of the letter or spirit of the Arms Conference compact. This greatest of all war games is demonstrating the points in which the land, the sea and the air forces of the Nation Are strong and weak. The results should be very valuable, in indicating ways and means to bring national defense nearer to perfection. Honesty needs no explanation, no apology, no advertising. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying BIG "DRIVE"—HARMLESS, BUT FUTILE—San Diego Union The greatest criminal drive in the history of this country is on the federal program for the next few months, according to an announcement yesterday from Washington. This is thoroughly American, thoroughly harmless, and entirely futile in prospect. There is nothing we do better than "drives," and there is nothing that does much less permanent good than these occasional spasms of interest in our various national problems. The present furore, which will be carefully planned and promoted on a scale worthy of the nation that sponsors it, will no doubt prove a good example. The co-ordinating charts and tentative general orders are probably all framed and ready by now, awaiting only certain signatures and O.K.'s to make them effective. Then the network of organizations they represent will begin to function—outwardly magnificent, impressive, relentless, terrifying to the wicked law-breakers; but the details of the vast drive will be in charge of the same officials who have those details in charge today—the criminals they contact with will be the same individuals who are marked as law-breakers today, and the end of the affair will bring about the same net result as the ordinary process of law enforcement, spread over a similar length of time, would bring under the regulations that now obtain. The people of the country will enjoy it more, because it will be more spectacular than the ordinary routine. It will bring some degree of fame to the head enforcers—the men who sign the general orders. It will perhaps inconvenience some of the lowbreakers who are now operating on a commercial scale. But when it is over, and the "big" operators have paid their fines and their employees have started their terms in Atlanta or Leavenwbrth, the business of law-breaking will drop back to normal again. "Drive" or no drive, the courts will function then just about as they do now, and the malefactors dragged in by the big net will right with much the same legal processes employed by the offenders dragged in by the multitudes of little nets now being operated. The effect will be one of sudden congestion, let us say, rather than of any permanent eradication of commercial crime. Thrive comes in response to the national craving for excitement—something to read about, something to see. It is a miniature substitute for war, reproducing on a small scale its crises of enthusiasm, its brief high-water marks of activity. It cannot break away from the dictation of Paris in the matter of styles that bodes no good for the French designers of gowns and hats. "The Hindenburg line" withstood the battle of ballots.

The drive comes in response to the national craving for excitement—something to read about, something to see. It is a miniature substitute for war, reproducing on a small scale its crises of enthusiasm, its brief high-water marks of activity. It cannot do any particular harm, for it is not wrong to war on crime. Its general effect may be something less than beneficial however, if it leads the people of this country to believe that his is an effective kind of war. The war against crime is not very deeply dependent on the activities of enthusiastic drivers. It depends upon slower and more profound conflict. It depends upon lessening the national complicity over the breeding of criminals—Burbank calls it "growing weeds." It depends upon simplifying court procedure, as this state of ours is planning to do. It depends upon the long task of cutting down the number of potential criminals, and making the day by day business of detection and punishment more certain, more swift and more just. None of these objectives can be attained by any number of high-pressure drives. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" STARCHES NOT SO GOOD—(Continued) LENTILS contain a large proportion of starch, but also have a considerable amount of the proteid element, being similar in this respect to dried beans, and fermenting easily. The best way to use lentils is to cook them for a long time in the form of a soup adding whatever non-starchy vegetables, such as celery and asparagus, may be desired. Boar in mind that this lentil soup should be cooked at least two hours, used as the starchy part of the meal and not for addition to other starches, and eaten very slowly. COCOANUT, PEANUTS AND CHESTNUTS. May be used in place of other starches if there is a strong desire for them, but used in the raw, starchy form will take about twice as long to digest as any of the other good starches. A pleasing change may be made if either of these foods be baked or boiled. Coconut must be cooked a long time so that the fibre is thoroly softened, and it should then be served as a starchy food in place of potatoes, macaroni, rice, or other starchy food, and should not be used in addition to them. Unshelled peanuts may be baked in the oven in a pan, cooking them slowly until the starch is well cooked, or the baking may be continued until they turn brown and become dextrinized. In either case, with the addition of a little salt and butter, they make a fine starchy food. If used in this way, chestnuts may be cooked in their hulls in the same manner, and will be found to be more thoroly cooked through; if they are left in the oven for a long time with a low fire. After they have cooked for at least thirty minutes in this way, more heat may be turned on, and this sudden addition of heat will pop them open and slightly dextrinize them on the outside. They may seem queer to use any one of those so-called "nuts" in this manner, but I assure you they will make an enjoyable starchy part of any meal if so prepared. (To be continued.) ABE MARTIN DRUNKEN SAILOR SAVED BY RADIO SAN PEDRO, May T. — A radio life-line thrown 1,000 miles out to sea probably saved the life today of a drunken sailor. The steamer Wairuana, bound for New Zealand from San Francisco, radioed that one of its sea-man was dying from poison liquor. The S.O.S., appealing for advice, was picked up by the federal wireless station, and relayed to the receiving hospital here. "Please advise what to do for a man who is dying from too much moonshine," the message said. Police: Surgeon Robert Dunsmoor radioed the following reply: "Force the man to water possible and safe."

Another peculiar thing about a woman is that when she hain't down she's out. PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN It is a frank age. Open diplomacy, open plumbing, and no petticoats. Most of the big jobs are held down by men who never won a prize for oratory. "America has no ear for the music of belis." It has for the little one on the cash register. Happy thought: There would not be much crime news in the paper if it printed only local news. The old-fashioned kiss wasn't different, except that you just tasted girl without any flavor. Mr. Dawes has the right idea about limiting talk in the Sen. Most of the big jobs are held down by men who never won a prize for oratory. "America has no ear for the music of bells." It has for the little one on the cash register. Happy thought: There would not be much crime news in the paper if it printed only local news. The old-fashioned kiss wasn't different, except that you just tasted girl without any flavor. Mr. Dawes has the right idea about limiting talk in the Senate, but why stop with the Senate? Matrimony has settled down to normal when she discards her tiny embroidered aprons. The easiest way to solve the revenue problem would be to make people pay a license to meddle. Perhaps the Senators did it to Caesar because they got tired of being told that he was in conference. They are queer people who claim kin with monkeys and won't confess brotherhood with low-brows. The instalment plan really is essential. How else could we afford the things we don't need? Suggestion to France: Uncle Sam might be willing to accept a dollar down and a dollar a week. The Communists have one unique virtue. They don't ask for a Federal appropriation for their propaganda. Another thing far from the old folks at home is the idea of staying there. The wife can show you just as good a time as a sweetie if you'll spend as much money on her. It might have been worse. Suppose Slayphus had been doomed to pump up a tire that eternally went flat. An old-timer is a man who can remember when every grass widow was suspected of being that kind of woman. Correct this sentence: "My wife doesn't doll up much for the street," said he, "but she dresses beautifully at home."
