Since his appointment the rate of dollar exchange in that coun- try has been stabilized around OOH cents; the number Of unemployed re- ceiving relief has been cut in half; the cost of living has remained prac- tically stationary. and the deposits in banks and savings banks, expressed in gold value. have more than quad rupled.
 Receipts from customs and the tobacco monopoly. which are pledged to the service Of the international lean. have been more than sufficient In the first six months of this year to cover interest charges for the entire year.
 The success Of the American experi- ment has led to the hope in some banking quarters that similar scheme might eventually be worked out for the rehabilitation of Germany, although it is universally conceded that the German problem will be much more difficult because of the gi- gantic imitation of the market and the political questions involved.

New Guinea, in the interior of which q new tribe of head hunters is reported to have been found, furnishes to the world some of the tidbits which tempt exotic Epicures to wild ex- trayagances, says bulletin issued from the Washington, D.

 Along the southern coast of this second largest island iii the world are found those gigantic sea worms. called slugs. which the Chinese place second only to the birds nest as table dclicacies. A nice fat one will measure almost two feet long and as big around as q mans wrist. The fishermen collect them off the coral reefs when the tide is low. and they are boiled, cleaned and placed in the sun to dry. When shipped to China they have much the general appear ance of frankfnrters. as they have shrunk in the process of curing.
 Tidbits for Chinese Palates.
 ''The fins of the hundreds of sharks caught in New Guinea waters are also dried in the sun and shipped away to tempt the palates of the Chinese elite.

They are spirit worshipers though they are too de- ficient in mental development to have made their system of religion at all complex, but they are hemmed about by thousands of superstitions and taboos
 Neither the men nor the women of the island bother much about tailoring or dressmaking bills. The one dress of New Guinea woman lasts her d lifetime-for it usually consists only of tattooing made upon her skin or of series of small scars made in q pattern across her chest and shoulders.

Berlin Criticizes Change
 In Role of New Opera

Berlin. Dec. 1f.-Michael Bohn- en's singing of the role of Holo- fernes in the new opera of that name written for him by Reznicek, has been we'll received by the Berlin pup lie. Bohnen's great popularity in- sured the success of the production.
 However, critics call attention to the fact that Judith is really the lead ing role in the opera. At least Ju- dith dominates the bible Story and the famous play of Hebbel based on the story. Consequently they have the feeling that Reznicek tried to make Holofernes dominate bcausa he was writing the opera with the great bari tone in mind for the role.

Cartoon Chides Prince
For Aversion To
Marriage
BY International News Service.

LO n d 0 N, May 31.-A
furry of criticism was aroused
today by an exhibition of
caricatures by Max Beerbohm.
One depicted the Prince of
Wales, aged and bearded, mar
rying the daughter of an Eng
lish landlady. The time of the
supposed marriage is set at
1912. 1t is entitled:
"Long choosing and begin
ming late"
The basis for the caricature
is the Prince of Wales ap-
parent aversion to marriage.
He is nearly thirty years of
age and, while his name has
been linked with that of many
English girls of high title, he
has shown no disposition to-
ward matrimony.

DE YoUNC'S MEMORIAL
MUSEUM

A habit of collecting antiquities led
Mr.. NJ. Ii. DeYoung, public-spirited
citizen of San Francisco, to build a
museum In which to house his own and
other collections and present it to the
city.
Two appropriate buildings of Egyp-
tian style, each 140 feet wide and $40
feet long Joined by broad corridor
supporting beautiful tower, compose
this museum. Salmon tinted, and set
down amid pleasingly handicapped gar
dens in Golden Gate park, this en-
semble presents an imposing appear
ance.
The forty-five galleries contain more
than one million objects. Their value is
fabulous. The extent, oddity, variety,
and completeness of the displays is
amazing.
There are priceless oil paintings
from the brushes of the masters; en-
cravings of great value from many
countries and of many periods; the
celebrated Kunz collection containing
specimens of every type of precious
and semi-precious stone; coins from
practically every country on the globe
collection of reproductions of the
crown jewels of the world collection
of drums, some of which may have
called warriors to battle in far.off
lands; samples of precious needlework
and laces dating back to the Eleventh
century; the great Dore vase of bronze,
10 feet tall, weighing about 5000
pounds and valued at $3.50 1000; tapes
tries, rich, rare, and beautiful; a pair
Of enormous lions in cloissonne, made
for the Imperial palace at Peking,
China; two giant bronze lanterns some
ten feet tall, from the Temple of Nau-
hO-San, Kobe.
The history Of warfare Of many ma
tions is silently told by implements Of
destruction used from the time Of the
World war back to the days when men
fought clad in armor. Here Is a chair
used by George Washington in 1888;
there Japanese teakwoOd cabinet 200
years old; yonder the bell (from the
steamship Oregon) that clamored forth
the news that California had been adj
mitted to the Union, and battered
piece of wood from the vessel on which
Napoleon sailed from Elba to France
Mirroring the civilization of past cen
turtles Is a mummy which probably
lived about 200 years b. c.. another Is
tear bottle, 1t having been an ancient
custom for mOurners to preserve their
tears as visible evidence of their grief.
There is collection of pipes from far
OFF lands that would make the mouth
of any smoker run water, and other
objects of surprising nature too nu
merous to mention.
