This compliment com- ing from such a celebrity as the “Babe" ls truly wofh reproducing. As the total proceeds of tonight's skate ls donated to the band, it ls hoped that a. large attendance will take the opportuniy of the last whirl of the season.

BRITISH CODIPANIES DESIRE CONCESSION GOLD IN MANCIIURIA

HAiRBIN, Manchuris, April 9—Dis- covet-y of gold deposits in Mancliuria has led to an influx of mining en- glneers into this part of the world, sent here by mining syndicates of Europe.

The British have taken the initia- tive and representatives of a mining ccncern with head offices in Imi- dcn are attempting to negotiate with the Chinese government authorities at Mukden for'a concession in Klan Province where the precious metal is ‘said to exist in large quantities.

Although the o als have not ex- nv-tly turned their thumbs clown on the project, they have not offered the ilriilsh company much encourage- ment. Thcy are viilling to grant a concession, they say", but lvlunchuria being their country, they want some renl money out oi’ any mining vent- ure that a foreign ccnccrn might cn- gage in 0n Chinese soil.

Despite the mnafvorablc attitude of the gowznimcnt, London engineers and prospectors crc still engaged in their scnch for lktmchurian gold and other minerals deposits. They have roportcd several small finds along the Sungztrl River and in one isolat- cd region they found Chinese peas- ants engaged in panning for the met- nl along the creeks.

A numbtr of Chinese merchants had staked out claims in the district and the peasants were merely work- ing for thcm, nu investigation re- vealed. '

A WAGNERIAN CELEBRATION

BAYREUTi-l, Germany, April 9- ThLs little Bavarian town, shrine of Wagncrian music lovers, is 700 year old this year. Likc so many venerable German towns, it's so accustomed to birthdays tha-t it counts them by centuries and half-centuries instead of years.

Simple exercises, consisting of musical programmes and addresses. are to be held in March in offi- cial ‘recognition of the occaslo . Speakers will comment cn its illus- trious past and the place it holds in the cultural world of today.

Bayreuth probably is much older than seven centuries, but the ravag- es of time destroyed its earliest doc- uments, and the oldest one extent refers to the town in 1231.

United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, April 9.—When Mother Eve decided that the fig leaf should L-e the "latest thing" in Garden of Ede.» fashions she probably didn't realize just what she was letting Garden of Eden descendants in for. Hut since that time fashion has Played one of the most important roles in history. At first Mother Eve's children were content with little. or no change, is their styles from year to year, but as the world grew older and life became more complex, so too, did the fashions. Off hand, fashion is a. term ap- plied to occupations, pursuits, edu- cation, manners, luxuries and thc necessities of modern civilized life, and denotes an uvderlying series of changes and modifications, which are most marked and most appar- cnt in the department of dress.

The natural conservatism of man often throws strong light upon long- forgottcn social history, and now- where more than in thc survivais in modem costume. Sir Edward Burnett Taylor, eminent anthropologist points out that there is a. lot one can learn from the modern evening-dress coat.

"The cutting away," he ‘says, "at the waist had once the reasonable purpose o.’ preventing thc coat-skirts from getting in the way while riding, while the pair of uselcss buttons b2- hind the waist are also relics from the time when such buttons really served the‘ purpose of fastening these skirts behind; the curiously cut coi- lar keeps the now misplaced notchcs made to allow its being worn turned up or down; the smart facings r-:-p~ resent the old ordinary lining; the

MANY QUEER JOBS ABOUND IN LONDON

LONDON, April 9—Th-:re are queer jobs in London, jobs Sherlock Holmes could never detect by a glance at a man's shoes, his clothes or his hands.

Sponge wetters. nippers, mudpush- crs, confetti counters, clock winders. prn shooters, coin ringers and thc

under ‘Iharnss bridgrs. paddling and waiting for somebody to fall in. One has been there ten years and the only thing he ever rescued was a hat.

Sponge, wetterr. run around with a bucket of water at racstracks and wet bookmakers sponges. Nlppers are the chefs of London's streets who cook laborers’ food and brew them tea strong enough to take the paint off a battleship. Mudpushers are the valets of Father Thames. Each time the tide recedes they clean the gravel bed pushing the silt and muck back into the stream.

Confetti counters are girls, scores of them who take the ticket punches o.‘ London bus conductors, sort out the hundreds of colored bits of pap-

er from the tickets punched and check them against the tickets sold.

Clock winders with long necklaces of dangling keys spend their lives winding the old.clocks in government buildings and city offices. Pea shoot- ers are early risers who scuttle through the mean streets where poor work psqple live blowing a mouthful of peas through s, little tube to rattle against upper bed- room windows so the occupants will wakc up in time for work.

Coin ringers are in His Majesty's service, employes at the royal mint whsre they stand hour after hour, day after day, flicking new coins on small circular a-wlis testing then by the silvery note for perfection.

Then there are men who paint spots on rocking horses, jus‘ ihc flgnl number and in the right places.

,and the men who keep the post ,bcxes that eternal brilliant royal rcd.

Thtre are still la-tzplightcrs ix: old London, and mcn who make q-iili pens, and of course, muffin men and the old ladies who sell lavender, just ordinary jobs come down out of the can fies in the modern Babyicn o.’ Landon.
