with Mother Earth, who. the astrono-
mers report, is gaining weight. Others,
on the other hand. will find a common
bond of sympathy in the fact that it is
estimated that it viii take her four
hundred million years to increase her
diameter by a couple of inches, in spite
of the fact that meteors or shooting

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 COUNCIL WILL MEET
Session Tomorrow May Also Take
 Up Russian Situation

| GeneVa. May 10.- (By Associated Fress)-The 18th session of the coun- cil of the league of nations will open here tomorrow with the prospect of several important questions now be- fore the Genoa economic conference coming up for discussion
 The possibility for one thing of the league going extensively into the Rus sian question is seen in request filed with the league by Norway asking for an independent inquiry into the fam inc in Russia.
 It is also thought probable that the Genoa conference will refer to the Warsaw health convention which was drawn up recently at the Polish capi- tai by all the European powers, in cluding Russia and Germany This convention calls for a general Europ- can anti-epidemc crusade to cost nearly $7,o00,000.
 The session of the council is ex- pected to last a week.
 One of the chief features of the meeting will be the signing of the economic treaty between Germany and Poland covering Upper Silesia. This treaty which represents six months of work by the league, is more than five hundred pages long It constitutes, in effect, a final settle ment of the veXed Upper Silesian problem. .r. .-... | Among other important issues com- ing up before the council are ques- tions concerning the mandates for the former German colonies and the AL banian problem.
