SCARE HEADLINES.
PARIS PAPER'S COMPETITION
LONDON, Jan. 23. One of the theatrical papers published in Paris lately promoted a unique competition. It offered prizes to those of its readers who could furnish the most sensational headlines.
The contest attracted a large number of competitors, some of whom were decidedly amusing in their efforts to invent what might be considered the greatest scare headlines that a newspaper could give to an item of news. It was no easy task for tho judge to make a selection out of the immense variety of samples sent in, but the headings to which the prizes were finally allotted were these:
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT VOTE FOR THE ABOLITION OF THEIR SALARIES THEFT OF THE EIFFEL TOWER
AEROPLANE HITS A STAR
