A Missouri boy of 16 who con- fessed to two murders and over a hundred hold-ups has been called a one-man crime wave. In Chicago he undoubtedly would be called an infant prodigy.

This annual fete, observed with but few interruptions since 1323, saw this ancient city of Roman ori- gin beflagged and decorated with green boughs and fresh spring (lowers. Fanfares of trumpets greeted the academicians as they went to the parish church of la Daurade to bring the prize flowers of gold that are kept on its high altar. The church stands on the site of a former temple to Apollo, razed when this portion of France became Christianized. Thence the procession repaired to the Capitole, Toulouse's beau- tiful city hall, for the formal cere- mony in the "hall of the fllus- trious." In accordance with cus- tom dating from the Renaissance period, the first speech was an eulogy of Clemence Isaure, hand- some and wealthy belle of Toulouse who in the fifteenth century willed her large fortune to the academy. After that came the recitations of the postulants in the classes of prose, "epistle", elegy, and sonnet. The first prize winners in these categories had bestowed up- on them respectively the symbolic amaranthe, eglantine, violet and marigold, all done in gold leaf. At the ceremony's conclusion they were taken back to the historic church from whence they came. | | Known in its early days as "The Society of Gay Knowledge," the Jeux Floraux academy bad as its prime object the conservation of the, Romance dialect in its native purity, and to create a poetic and literary code for the 'guidance of posed to have introduced the "floral games," copying them from the rhetorical exercises of the Ath- enians in the academy gardens. all those speaking and writing the "Langue d'Oc." In 1694 Xing Louis XIV, in letters patent, signed at Fontainebleau, put the learned society under the protection of the chancellor of France. In 1725 King Louis XV raised the number of members, or "maintainers", as they are known, to forty, the same as for the Frenche.Academy. The mayor of Toulouse is always in- cluded in the number, and there are in addition two "censors," a treasurer and a secretary. Toulouse's literary tradition goes back to the time of Virgil, who is supposed to have studied at the ancient astronomy school on ihe plateau of Pech-David. Such lLa- tin poets as Ausonius, Martial, Ar- horius and Sedatus sang of its beauties and those of the surround- ing countryside. They are sup- | Seven troubadours of Toulouse re- vived them at the beginning of the fourteenth century, and the doings of the company are recorded in the celebrated manuscript known as the "Laws of Love," dating from 1329. The best known among the mem- bers of today are perhaps the sa- vant Paul Sabatier, dean of the faculty of science of the local uni- versity, and General de Castelnau, one of the world war leaders. In recent years, the late Marshals Foche and Joffre, and the noted authors Marcel Prevost and Rene Bazin have taken part in the an- nual gatherings. Besides distri- buting the traditional prizes for literature, the Jeux Floraux acad- emy annually discerns a number of dowries to deserving girls, money grants to large families, and other benefactions, all of which come out of the sizeable leg- acles it has received in the course of centuries. ARE YOUA "BOOKSNEAF"? New York, N.Y., May 15.--A new word, "booksneat'" defined as "the pest who borrows your fav- orite books and does not return them," has been added to the language the result of a contest held by the Book Publishers Re- search Institute, it was announced recently, A committee of three Judges, J. C. Grey, Harry Hanson and Burton Rascoe, selected '"booksneaf'" from thousands of suggestions offered as the official designation for booklovers of pro- datory inclination. The committee advances the following definition of the word for use in dictionar- es: "Booksneaf, a person who habit. ually borrows books from friends; a victim to the pernicious habit of carrying away books from homes and libraries of friends and even casual acquaintances." The new word was suggested by Paul W. Stiddard of the depart- ment of English of the Bulkley High School, Hartford, Conn. MAN "HIKES" BY HORSE AND BUGGY West Stickbridge, Mass., May 15.-- Russell C. Beckwith, 62, just returned from a buggy ride to California, Oregon and Wash- ington, is back at work--and wondering why folks are making such a fuss over his trip. On a farm, here in this Berk- shire Hill town, Beckwith, pow- erful New England farm worker, stood before a circular saw which he fed steadily, There wasn't much time to talk. Yes, he drove all the way out to the coast and back. Started out with his horse and buggy and $356 a couple of years ago, May 23, 1929, and with his shepherd dog Fringe. Had a tent, Great dog, that; guarded his tent every night, all the way. Worked for farmers along the way, How'd he go? Out through New York State, Pennsylvania, Ohlio,. Indiana. Sold the hoss in Indiana and bought a team of mules and a buckboard. Tough animals, those mules; could cover 40 miles a day, if need be. Didn't go to Chicago; no sir. Read too much about that place. Seemed kind of dangerous. Cov- ered a lot of ground. Iowa, Ne- braska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada. Grandfather William C, Beckwith went out across that country in 1848 in the gold rush to Call- fornia, He travelled by ox-team. Beckwith, who explained he hadn't chick nor child to worry about, said that he took his time but finally hit California and went almost into San Francisco. No, he didn't go right into that city, nor some of the other cities. Too many people told him they didn't allow horses and such on the main streets, On the way back he, passed through the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. Stopped out there and bought the horge back again and came home. He couldn't see why there should be any especial public interest in his "private trip. He saw nothing unusual in the idea of a man hitching vp his horse, if he want- ed to, and just driving where fancy took him, working along the way. Next Fall he may go to Flor- ida. Argentine Women Believe Taste Important Buenos Aires, May 15.--Women in Canada may wear more expen- sive clothes but the Argentine wo- man is one of the best dressed in the world. In Paris or Montreal they may own six frocks to the Ar- gentine woman's one but in Buenos Aires the important thing is taste. An outlander might decry the lack of individuality and a certain monotony of style, but the Argen- a tine woman may be relied upon display a high degree of perrection in fit and craftmanship, conserva. tive, and appropriate. She wears her cloths with a distinctive dash, as though it had not taken her days and weeks of trouble to selecy them. The newest Paris creation is im the hands of French and Canadian women before the Argentine woman sees it, but when it does get herg sh considers it at leisure judging it from the point of view of adapta. bility to her own circumstances, jtg lasting value and whether it he. comes her type of beauty. She wil} tone down its eccentricitics, eli. inating every sign of faddishness, The desired result achieved, she iy prepared to follow the Rue de la Prix, with reservations. The influence of American and European movies {1s indifferent, The lavish display of garments worn by movie actresses leaves the Argentine woman cold. She does not believe women really dress like that. She buys two or three dress- es each season direct from Paris, op from houses on "Calle Florida, the capital's fashion centre. With thege ° as patterns she consults at length with her personal modiste. The attention paid to detail, the labour over accessories, the days of searching, matching and fitting would drive an American woman insane. Hours on end she thumbs through the style books. Then fom days she haunts the silk shops, The problem of meterial decided she carries her samples to her hat- maker. The felt or straw to be used is dyed the same color, for the color for the color ensemble must _ pe - complete, frequently incladi shoes, necklaces, purses and glove "BISHOP WHO ATE HIS BOOTS" IS VERY POPULAR IN NORTH (By The Canadian Press) Vancouver, B.C., May 15.--Al} through the Canadian mnorthland, where for 40 years he has been rov- ing, he is celebrated as the bishop who ate his boots, but Most Rev. I. O. Stringer, newly appointed Arch' bishop of Rupert's land, is known. also as "the squarest guy that ever went into the north." There are nearly 200,000 square miles in the vast territory which Bishop Stringer includes in hig "parish," and probably no man liv. ing knows that vast domain so well, for he has spent nearly half a cen~ tury ministering to the wants and spiritual welfare of Eskimo, Indian and trapper in this sparsely popu- lated wilderness, and there is somé- thing in his rugged disposition that. makes him a wanderer. The boot-eating incident secur- red early in the bishop's career in the north, He was lost on the trail in a snowstorm and the leather in his boots provided meagre suss . tenance for him until rescue came. But his reputation as a true friend of mankind was derived from mo single event in his useful life, but from the countless good deeds per« formed by him in his many years | of service.
