Fifty Million Frenchmen is a jaunty, jingling tour of Paris which pays no attention whatsoever to Gothic traceries, the Louvre or the sombre tomb of the Emperor. At one point the sightseers pass the monumental Church of the Madeleine but even their "Hallelujah!" is syncopated.

They sat down in, armchairs facing the altar and their vice-chairman and secretary, the only ones present wearing canonicals, Bishop Charles Palmerston Anderson of Chicago and the Rev.

Close to the crenelated, neo-Gothic heart of the University of Chicago is one "Doc" Bratfish. Few Chicago men-students in the last 25 years have not had a shave & haircut from him. He it is who each year examines upper lips and fires a gun to start the seniors' mustache-growing contest, rewarding the most luxuriant growth with a shaving mug, the most girlish down with hair restorer...
