DIPLOMATS MAY HAVE TO
 MOVE FORGE TO ANGORA
National Assembly Vote to Have Capital of Country Remain
 in Present Place

Constantinople, Dec. 21.-The de- cision of then ational assembly,, by an overwhelming vote. to retain Angora as the capital ends for the time being the effort on the part of very large group to move the capital back to this city. Also it brings the countries having diplomatic representatives in Turkey face to face with problem they have evaded up to the present time, whether they will retain their seats here or remove to Angora to be in contact with the Turkish govern ment
 At present all the more important countries have liaison officers in An gora. Only a few small countries, like Afghanistan, have placed their ministers there. But now the German representative announces that, no matter what the other powers may do, the German minister, when ap- pointed after the ratification of the Lausanne treaty, will take up resi- dence in the capital. This may force the hand of the other big states, but 1t is not considered likely that any of them will really establish embas- sies in that remote and unhealthy city, when here they own impressive and costly premises.
 In deciding to remain in Angora the assembly seems to have been controlled by two principal motives one that in event of war it is remote and safe from an enemy, and the other a desire to be freed from what they have called the evil influence of partly foreign metropolis.
 Angora advices. however, say that the decision is not irrevocable and in- dicate that the matter may be re- opened when the new Turkey Is firm ly established. Meantime plans for a modern hotel and other improve ments arc being carried forward, but very few people believe that the am- bilious program to buld a complete and modern city at Angora ever will materialize.

HEALTH SERVICE TO MAKE
 STUDY OF COMMON COLDS
Surgeon General Says Colds Cause of Influenza and Similar Conditions
 For Intense Suffering

Washington, Dec. 21.-A detailed study of common colds is to be made by the Public Health Service in CO., operation with a number of the country's leading universities. Dr. Hugh s. Cumming, surgeon general, says colds, influenza and similar con- ditions are responsible for a great deal of suffering, loss of time, dis ability and not inconsiderable num- Der of deaths.
 Hes avs there are few, if any, indi- viduals who do not suffer from some acute respiratory condition at lenst once a year, losing from a day to a week or more as result, and some attacks develop into more serious conditions, at times even latent pull monary tuberculosis being lighted up.
 Comparatively little Is definitely known as to the real causes, distribu- tion. manner of spread, and epidemi- ology of these so-called minor respira- tory ailments, Dr. Cumming says, and this detailed study being undertaken is expected to be of value in attempt ing to prevent these affections.
 The work will be actively under taken at Harvard University. Johns Hopkins Medical School, Georgetown and Horward Universities, Washing ton: Tulane University, New Orleans; Ohio State University, University of Chicago, and University of California. It is anticipated the studies will ex- tend over two or three years.

OLD INDIAN CANOE
 FOUND IN N. JERSEY
Scientists Think It May Be
 Thousand Years Old

New York, Dec. 21.-Cedar bot toms, centuries old. from sunken canoes attributed to the ancient Ram- apo Indians have been unearthed by dredgers from the bottom of Witteck Lake near Butler, N. J., 1t was learned yesterday.
 Foster H. Saville of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Founda- ,1on, accepted their authenticity pend- ing further research on resumption of dredging there next spring. He said the parts he had examined were typ ical of two complete Ramapo dug outs, one of which was on exhibition at the Broadway and 155th street mu- scum and the other at Hackensack. He was unable to determine as yet whether the relics were of a colonial period or dated back TOO to 1000 years, as might easily be.
 Only one of the three canoe bot toms was intact, the other two being incomplete. On all three the sides and superstructure had disappeared save for suggestion of attachments. Prof. Saville commented upon the ex- cellent preservation of tine cedar used by the boat builders and believed that the fragments had been virtually em- balmed in hermetic peat ever since submersion.
 Witteck Lake, he described, had originally been about fifty acres in size but had been flooded to much greater eXpanse upon construction of q dam. Pressure of the augmented volume of water had seemed to bring up" the old lake bottom. form ing a floating island" he said. It was this freak formation that had proved to be the sarcophagus yield ing the all but forgotten story of the vanished Ramapos. The lake is in the New Jersey peat belt.
 Prof. Saville added that the cedar of which sthe canoe bottoms were made was now an extinct variety, not having appeared in New Jersey flora since long before the time of the white man.
 The Ramapos. branch of the Hackensack Indians, who in turn were of the councils of the Delawares according to the ethnologist, flourish, cd in the earlier cycles of the redmen.' They were natural boatmen. 1t was believed. and the quiet waters of Wit teck Lake might have been one of many waters they frequented in tho circuit of their portages. Their crude craft furnished them with facilities for fishing. hunting and transporta- ton.

Vienna AbOunds in Game
 As Winter Season Opens

Vienna, Dec. 2f.-1n probably no city in the world is so much game to found, in season, as in the markets of Vienna. Cartridges and pheas- ants were lstoly seen in every shop, even in the poorer quarters. and now the hare-driye season is on and cart loads of them are common. They are the large European hare, ranging from six to i2 pounds, and form one of the principal food articles Of the country.
 These hares are killed in huge ring drives. often from ten to 50 or more guns are invited and, with one or two beaters between each gun, the ring of shooters and drivers, sometimes mile in diameter, slowly csses in. AS shots are directed groundward there is little danger to the hunters. It is not unusual for 1000 animals to be killed in one days shooting.

Stranded Russians Await
 Chance to Enter America

Cherbourg, France. Dec. 2i.-A nu- merous body of Russian refugees, beaded for the United States, has come as far as this French seaport only to find the emigration quota full, and no immediate hope of entering the land of promise.
 The band, upon leaving Russia, went to Poland and stayed several months until compelled by the au- thorities to move on. Constantinople was the next stopping place, but there also they were regarded as undesir- ables. and sent away. Now. to the number of 200, they have reached Cherbourg and some of them are planning to try to hold out until next June. when new quotas will be opera tive. In the meantime they are re- ceiving charity.

Lure of the Screen Keeps
 German Children Up Late

Berlin, Dec. 21.--GermaR parents complain bitterly that their children flock evenings to the movie houses and stay up late to watch blood curdling dramas. The laws against young children being abroad at night alone apparently are not enforced.
 Crowded housing conditions and lack of heat and light in the homes are given as reasons for the dis position of the youngsters to take to the cinemas
 Staircases are no longer lighted In many apartment houses in Berlin, the landlords saying the expense is too great. Signs reading as follows are not infrequent: This house is closed at dusk; persons entering later do so at their own risk"

World War Is Blamed for
 Number of Child Suicides

Linz, Austria, Dec. 21.-Child sui- eide, which has been common in central Europe since the war. had tragic illustration here recently. A boy 17 years old hanged himself. and the next day at the same spot his 1i year old brother took his life in the same manner. The younger boy left q note saying he could not live with out his playmate.
 This self-destruction among chil- dren is ascribed to neurotic precocity resulting from conditions under which they passed infancy in war times.

Since the world wide contention is
that we do not get anything for
nothing these days. the natural CO.
rollary is that we pay a price for
everything that We get. But even
so, would you be prepared to pay
the price that a studious young girl
with an Unsuitable desire to acquire
medical knowledge. paid in the Par
amount picture. The Devils Pawn :
coming to the Majestic theatre for
three days. tomorrow. Friday and
Saturday.
In this picture Pola Negri. tho
famous Continental star. plays the
pat of a young girl. born with a
craving for books. she grows up
with them as her inseparable COM
panions. AS she approaches that
age when books alone are not suffl-
cient, she yearns to enter the uni
versity. But, according to the law
of the country. her nationality pro
duces a seemingly insurmountable
barrier.
What then. was this risk that
she took. and If she paid a price,
what was that price? Was 1t one
such as you would pay for an ideal
so high. as that of knowledge? The
picture presents the problem most
picturesquely.
