GUILLOTINE IS YET

WORKED IN PUBLIC

PARIS, Dec. 23,-iBy The Canad-

ian Prcss) -In connection with thc coming retirement of Monsieur Ana- vole. Deibler from the Q'-tical post of public executioner. in command ol' the gulliltine, the fact that executions in France are still nominally public is impressed upon the people. How- ever they are not so public nowadays as torn-ierly. for while they are still held in open squares in front ot pri- son spectators are kept. at. e. dismnce by troops. and nn early hour is cho- sen for an execution, so the guiilo- tinc at work is no longer the specta- cular display it once was. The change has been in effect since 1914.

It is customary when the occupant

of an official position in France re- tios he is given the title of honor- ary hoider of the orifice, and it is in this sense that' Monsieur Dcibler \\1l1 shortly become "Honorary Execu- tioner to the French Republic.” It has been announced that he is going out oif business and is building a. vil- la in Paris in which he proposer tg spend the remainder ct his lilo,

A nephew of Delbler. it is said, will

be ln command of the Kuillotine in future. His name ls Andre Auprecht. The wvdhtment carries s salary of $750 ii year, besides me roi- l-rpems

_und assistants, |, total of $1.150.

adlzms galore and for the moat part imlwrtutiuns. the majority of which have from tour to eight seasons im- dcr their belts. This is glarlngiy so in the case ol' many mainland hockey teams. It is not so very hard for in coach to whip an aggregation into championship calibre from men such as these-just s procedure of getting the players used to one another in their various positions and then get- ting in as many work-outs as pos- slbio. Of course the couch has get to know his hockey. and In moat eases has to have a little of the phil- osopher and psychologist In his make-up. Prowse says little, while that old "anvil chorus” is banging away and getting nowhere. Anyway. Knockers may coma and knockeri may go, but the Abegweits will go on for-n. great many years yet.
