NOW IN
 CAPITAL OF REICH
Board lnquiring Into German
 Finances to Get Cooperation
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, Jan. 31.-The scene of the inquiry into German finances shifted to the capital of the reich today as tlre first committee of experts. head ed by Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes. settled down for perhaps two weeks of work on Germany's budget and currency problems
 1 Assurances of the complete cooper ation not only of the government but also of financial reports and banks it prepared would make the experts task chiefly that of formulating their conclusions from the vast amount of data which will be laid before them. The government itself has prepared budget for the current year, com puted on q gold basis which it hopes will help stabilize the mark and facili- tate tho Notation of d new gold cur rency issue.
 With this financial statement to work on the experts also will be con fronted with exhaustive information on Germany's fiscal condition includ- ing statement of the separations payments in cash and kind She has already made. They will also be sup piled with full information on the reich's railways which it is expected will figure largely in the experts final plans for the salvation of German finances.
 Will Give All Figures
 Many prominent ndustrialists. f- nanciers and transportation magnates have signified their willingness to give the committee all facts and figures at their disposal. Hugo Stinnes and several leading bankers are among those who indirectly have agreed to offer testimony.
 Tomorrow will ind the second com mittee headed by Reginald McKenna of Great Britain opening it's inquiry into the exported German capital, the return of which it is felt is of most importance in putting Germany on Il paying basis from the standpoint of tbe reparation commission. The mem- bers of the second committee includ- irg Henry NJ. Robinson of les Angeles. Cal. arrived from Paris last evening,
 Many Millions Deficit
 Among the mass of official data which the budget committee must ex- anime is the reich's budget for 1924. which is drawn mp in terms of gold marks, In this the ordinary revenue from taxation is estimated at 5,i24,- 000,O0 gold marks while the extra ordinary revenue is estimated at lS0. .O00, ,000, making n total Of 5.254,- 100000.
 Against this, the ordinary expondi- turo is estimated at 4,942, ,O00,0 ,0p0 and the extraordinary expenditures 130,- 900. .0o0. which together with eXpendi- lures in connection with the execution of the Versailles treaty, estimated at GAO, ,000, ,0o0, make a total of 6.712,-
New Britain herald., 1924-01-31

100000, so that the budget thus con- cludos with a deficit of 45S,000, 900 gold marks.
 Standing in the room which was once Bismarck's workshop and listen- ing to the very formal address of wei come by the chancellor of democratic Germany supplied the members of committee number one with their first trial in Berlin, according to one Of the participants in yesterdays re- ception at government headquarters.
 ''The official lineup of government leaders who awaited us presented an almost fHnereal aspect" he said. which was further emphasized by the melancholy reflected in the off cial German countenances and the somber tone of the chancellors voice as he greeted General Dawes and his associates.
 The huge portrait of the iron chancellor under which Chancellor Marx stood as he welcomed the com mittee gave a dramatic background to the scene in its reminder of the his toric upheaval from which Germany is emerging. There hung the painted features Of the first imperial chancel- Tor and before us stood the stern, al- most sad-looking man who is the official spokesman for the new Ger many.
 Impressed By Sincerity '. The experts admitted, however. that in spite of the gloom dispensed in official quarters they have been favor ably impressed with the sincerity shown by German statesmen in tack ling existing problems. German off cial quarters also reflect feeling of case in connection with their inter- course with General Dawes and his committee members. viewing them less askance than they did the allied boards whenever the lat ter conducted investigations in Der lin. To this extent it may be said an atmosphere of mutual confidence seems to have been created since General Dawes got into formal touch with the government leaders.

The Nature and Characteristics q
Electric Currents.


When the average person speaks OF
an electric current the picture that ne
calls to mind is merely that OF a GER
tain fluid having the peculiar character
istic of being able to flow" through a
solid such as copper, in much the same
way that water flows through a pipe.
While the action which takes place Is
by no means the same, for all practical
purposes of illustration we may accept
that analogy as being fundamentally
what goes on when current source Is
connected into an electrical current.
We may then think of electricity as
consisting of electrons which are set In
motion in much the same way that the
molecules of water are set in motion by
pressure applied to the body OF water.
We must remember. however, that
there are various kinds of current hav-
ing different characteristics, and that
these currents flow in different circuits
in different ways and exhibit varying
characteristics.
Three Classes of Current.
Currents may be divided into three
general classes. Conduction currents,
disp' 'acement currents and convection
currents.
A conduction current will flow if a
source of electrical energy is connected
into a closed circuit consisting OF
complete circuit formed by conducting
materials such as wire or other objects
made of a conducting material. The A
battery current flowing in the filament
circuit is this type of current.
A displacement current Will now IN a
circuit formed partly of conducting ma
terials and partly of non-conducting
materials commonly referred to as di-
electrics. The radio frequency current
in the aerial and grid circuits belongs
to this class.
A convection current will flow in
space containing electrolyteS or
gases. The B battery current in the
plate circuit flowing through the
charged gap between plates and Ma
ment belongs to this group.
The first type of current is the kind
with which the average electrician
deals in electrical circuits of the
ordinary type where the electric cur
rent is conveyed from place to place
in a circuit by conducting wires.
Electric Lighting Circuits.
Bell-wiring circuits, electric light
ing circuits, motor circuits, telephone
and telegraph circuits all belong to

Rupert Hughes Tells Frank And Fearless Story
 In Screen Play At Temple

Rupert Hughes, famous novelist and photoplay director, rises to new dra- matic heights in his new picture of tine divorce evil, entitled 'Reno,' a Gold wyn feature film. which will be the attraction at the Temple theatre Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Into the lives of two young couples, who tried divorce as a curt for some of matrimony's ills, Rupert Heughes laE injected series of mix-ups, which, though new to the screen, have their parallels in many American homes, Hs result of AS divorce laws, which diff fer widely, and sometimes hum0rBusly, from each other in the AS statss of cur country, throughout which more than 150,O00 divorces are recorded each year.
 In other words, the story develops that asiman may be divorced in Nevada, but still married in New York, where there is only one ground for divorce, but one may step across the border into Connecticut and have his choice uf seven legal grounds.
 One of the most interesting phases of the picture is the conflicting laws Uf the various states, very few of which parallel each other. For instanua, in most of the states a girl must be 1S years of age before she can marry without her parents consent. South Carolina, however, sanctions fi1e mur- riage of girl at 12 years of age, bnt

If some one pulled a stop-match on you and told you that you had cer- tain number of hours and minutes to hive, what would you dol?
 If it was; on n Monday would you keep right on, with the washing? If it was on a Thursday and you were on your way to the weekly meeting of The Twentieth Century club or of the Browning society, would you keep right on going? If it was on a Friday and you were chasing cobwebs with a broom, would you drop the broom and begin to sort of think things over? Or whatever you might be doing eating, riding, reading what do you think your procedure would be if you were told with authority that you were going to breathe your last breath, say, in ex- actly six hours and three. minutes?
 That sort of problem is the turning point of "The Sin Flood" to be shown at the Trianon theatre this week.
 It will be good news for James Kirk wood 'fans" to learn that he has one of the finest roles of his career in 'The Sin Flood" Mir. Kirkwood is seen as an itinerant preacher who has lost his pulpit. With the conquering of the weakness that held him in thralf to appetite, he becomes a power for good in the community. The characteriza- tion presented by Mir. Kirkwood is a masterly interpretation. We need more James Kirkwoods on the screen.
