ers of German marks are investing
them in German stocks. This also may
be regarded as another phase of the
universal flight from the mark.
Quotations on the German bourse
have risen rapidly and holders of cur-
rency notes rid themselves of them
as quickly as possible by purchasing
almost Unfortunately any stocks
that are available on the exchange.
Holders of stock certificates in turn
are reluctant to part with them for
marks whose value is so completely
doubtful.
1t is possible that the effort that is
being made for the rehabilitation of
Austria under the auspices of the
League of Nations will finally con-
vince Germany that her only hope
lies in the acceptance of a similar
plan whereby an international COM
mission Of control of finances and the
budget might be established. In
Austria an international loan of about
S130 100000, guaranteed by Great
Britain, France, Italy, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
the Scandinavian countries, and Hol-
land, has been granted to provide
funds to carry that nation through
a period of two years and to meet the
deficit which is unavoidable for that
time. The service of this debt IS
pledged from the tobacco monopoly
and from the customs receipts.
If success attends these effort;
Austria will be set definitely on the
| road to recovery and an example will
have been afforded to other central
European nations which may aiC
them in overcoming their financia
difficulties. 1t is generally admitted
that a loan to Germany is necessary
in order to stabilize her currency anC
to aid her to balance her budget, bu'
it is doubtful if any loan could b.
obtained abroad except under a plal
similar to the one now being tried n
Austria, involving some definite con
troll by representatives of the loaninl
nations over Germany's finances anC
expenditures during the period Of re
Mobilization.

If Nazimova's pearanc A

other reason, it still would be for
this: that it gives no cause for
censorship.

by dramatic critics and the Nation

Objectionable scenes and actions.
and yet be fully dramatic and
emotionally telling.
Said the New York Review of
Nazimova's "Salome":
"The National Board of Review
IN unqualified terms of approval,
unanimously passed the picture
after having witnessed it in New
York.
"The verdict of the review board
is regarded as highly significant,
since it will remove all possible
prejudice that might exist in the
minds of some exhibitors and some
picture patrons who know only of
the unsavory reputation of the
Strauss opera of the same name
which has been barred from pre-
sentation in Chicago, and those
other staged and film versions of
the Salome story which deal pri-
marty with its salacious possibiIi-
ties"
This photoplay, a Nazimova pro-
duction, was directed by Charles
Bryant. The scenario by Peter M.
Winters, follows closely the poetic
drama by Oscar Wilde; and no less

Want VOLUNTEERS
FOR BIRD CENSUS

Bird censuses furnish information
as to the exact number of pairs of
breeding birds actually nesting with
in the boundaries of selected tracts
of land, and throw light on many
problems concerning the distribution
of bird life. 1t is very desirable that
this work be continued ON an in
creased scale, and the cooperation of
volunteer observers interested in bird
life is asked by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Information is needed regarding
the numerical distribution of the
birds breeding in different sections
Of the country, and on different types
of land; the relative numbers of diff
ferent species; and the fluctuations
that take place in bird life. Bird
censules are the only means of OBJ
tanning much of this information.
Data are needed to show what effect
existing laws for bird conservation
have had; how much birds have in
creased under protection, and what
species have been most affected.
The Department of Agriculture
must depend wholly on the unpaid as
sistance of volunteer observers. The
help received in the past has been
greatly appreciated, and it is hoped
that it may be extended. Detailed
instructions for taking the censuses
with necessary blanks for reports
will be furnished on request by the
Biological Survey, United States lie

~"PITTSBURG PLUS"

CHICAGO, April 3.-The MinneSo-
ia legislature has passed a measure
appropriating $4,000 to protect the
interests of the state against the
"%Pittsburg plus" practice.
This action was taken today by the
House, by unanimous vote, the Sen
ate having passed the measure, like
wise by unanimous vote, on March
81.
The bill places the appropriation at
the disposition of a committee con-
sisting of Governor Preus and At
torney General Hilton, to take such
action as they may deem necessary
to bring about the abatement of the
"Pittsburg plus device.
This action follows the prior course
of the Minnesota legislature, which in
1921 adopted strong resolutions con-
demnatory of "Pittsburg plus" and
authorizing Attorney General Hilton
to intervene in the proceedings start
