Mexican officials who are afraid of

of unfavorable publicity, have.
through the Tia Juana Chamber of
Commerce. hired an American press

He proposes that a 2 per cent.
royalty be coilictud on the sale of
all works on which the copyright
has expired. in France copyrights
expire fifty years after the author't
death at which time, in the case oi
a popular writer. like Guy ds
Muupsssant. for example. the mar-
kets are flooded with editions of his
works. Deputy itamcil would extend
his scheme to the production of
plays, reproduction or pictures and
other works of art, or use of any
form of scientific discovery on
which the creator‘s rights have
lapsed.
Dogs may howl, arses may bray.
horses may nelgh. goats may blast
and cats may caterwaul. but the
cock. proud emblem of the French
Republic. may not crow at night in
Paris under pain of death. 80 the
law stands.
This strange anomaly was brought
to light by a distinguished artist.
who. recovering from a long illness,
was kept awake at night by the
barking of a neighbor's dog. He sp-
plled to an eminent lawyer. Leon
Barthou. brother of former Prem-
ier Louis Barthou. but. on looking
up the authorities. it was found that
the cries of all animals are tolera-
ted with the single exception of the
crowing of the cock.
Among the bills introduced in
this session of the Chamber of De-
puties is one to amend a bill passed
by the senate 26 years ago. which
has been alumbcring in the archives
of the Chamber ever since. Regular-
ly every year during a quarter of
a century that bill has appeared .on
the Chamber calendar. but no de-
cision has resulted. A measure pas-
sed by one of the Chambers of
Parliament does not die at the end
of’the session, as it does in Con-
gress, if it is not acted upon by the
other house.
The bill in question was framed
to regulate the procedure in cases
of offense against the President of
the Republic, providing penalties
for what would be “less maieste"
in a monarchy. It would give the
eo‘rrcctional— court Jurisdiction over
such cases. If the bill ever passes.
persons convicted of defamlng or
using violence toward the head of
the state would be able to appeal.
Now such cases come before the
Asslzes court. from whose decisions
there is no appeal except on the
ground of {guilty procedure.
Trial flights to test the practi-
cability of a night air passenger
service between Paris and London
are now under way and are ex-
pected to extend over a month.
The tests are made on the initia-
tive of the French aviation author-
ties, and in flying circles here there
is much satisfaction over the fact
that the French have begun giving
effect to an idea which the British
have had under consideration for
some time,
The first trial was made by a
plane that left Le Bourget field at
7 o'clock in the evening and land-
ed at Croydon. near London, at
10:40. A return trial trip began at
Croydon at 6:20 in the evening and
ended at Le Bourget at 10:16.
M. Laurent-Eynac. undersecretary
of state for aeronautics. has given
special financial help for the inau-
guration of this service.
The first trips showed that the
lights on the French part of the
