LONDON, December 10-Dogs have
no more right on a public highway
in England than a lion, tiger or other
wild beast. according to a Judgment
handed down by Judge Higgins of the
Exeter County court.
The point arose when a dog owner
claimed compensation for his dog.
which had been killed by an automo-
bile. The judge held that If lion
or tiger were run over and killed
in the road the owner would have no
claim to compensation, and he de-
clared he had seen dogs running
about the public highway which were
just as much "trespassers" as would
be the beasts OF the forest.
Under English law, said the Judge,
horses. pigs and fowls have road
rights. and the donkey as beast OF
burden also has rights but he could
not find any other animal which
came within the meaning OF the law.
In the present case he decided the
dog was not under proper control and
dismissed the suit.
British dog owners propose testing
the ruling In the appeal courts.

RICHMOND, Va, December 90
Motion picture houses and theaters
must pay royalties to composers or
publishers when they use any portion
of q copyrighted song or air during
their programs or performances, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered here
today by Judge John Rose of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, when he affirmed the decision
of the District Court at Charleston,
y. c., that the Pastime Amusement Co
must pay NJ. Whitmark & Sons, pub
fishers. for the use of q copyrighted
song in Its motion picture theater.
The case was appealed by the
amusement company on the ground
that the music was played by young
woman pianist without the knowl-
edge of the theater owners; that It
did not constitute a part OF the pro-
gram; that only q part of the whole
number was played, and on her.testl-
mony that she did not even know the
name of the composition
The case was decided in Charleston
on May l3 and was argued here at

PARIS, December l0.--Now gather
around, all you middle ged folk; and
you, too, men and women of ripening
old age.
Gather around and listen 10 the
words of hope uttered by "A scientist
working In Paris, Dr. Jaworski who
promises you all shall recover that
wonderful Joy of youth, if only you
accept his advice in time. His method
Of rejuvenation is far removed from
thai of Noronoff.
There is no "monkeying" with
glands of other animals Jaworsk
processes the greatest admiration for
Voronoff, whose system. he says, lis
worthy of attention. But IL rarely
succeeds, and when it does succeed
one never knows for how long. And
IT cannot be easily renewed"
Uses Blood Infections.
DR.. Jaworski says he can renew
youth by the mere injection of a few
drops Of young blood taken from A
human subject belonging to the same
racial group as the patient. He does
not pretend the operation will pro-
long life, but that the man or woman
whom he treats is given sort Of
second youth, and any diseases from

which the patient may be suffering ist
automatically cured
The latter claim, however, does not
hold good in the case OF certain deeI-
seated organic malad!es or contagious
affections
Jawerski also holds the operation
can be renewed several times E!sJ
experiments so far lead him to think
that the duration OF the effects Of tba
treatment should be at least three or
four years, although he sees no rea-

Jaworski, IN a recent letter and in a
still more recent article. told people :
they could skip this rather arid por-,

one OF the basic theories on which
he worked and is still working is that

 The foreign office takes the view that "the triumphant onward march of the fulillment and reconstruction policy, which h1s constantly won over wider circles of the German population, will be abruptly halted and the direst inner political conse- quences ensue," if the allies, withou, consulting the German government, send 1t a note informing 1t of their decision not to evacuatc.
 The foreign office sees in Lord Curzon's statement evidence that the allies already have agreed or their policy, and it considers the failure to negotiate with Germany as "ex- tremely painful"
 The forming of a new German government will be much more diff fcult, 1t is declared, if the allies fail to treat Germany as a contracting party to the treaty who must be heard before the contract can be altered

 Tt is believed that the climate of Palestine in remote times was moist and that the great inland lake was for a while kept at its highest point. When drier condi- tions set in the lake began to shrink, eventually retreatlng into the present position Of the Dead sea and exposing the valley now occupied by the Jordan. This is practically the only large river in the world which flows in a valley ready-made for it almost from source to mouth.
 Saltier Than ocean
 "The Dead sea depression having no outlet, all the salts contained in the large original inland sea were retained when evaporation reduced the volume of the body Of Yater 10 its present dimensions. In Addition, for hundreds of thousands of years the Jordan and the other streams and torrents that flow from the desert hills into the basin lave been carrying in additional salts until now the waters of the Dead sea constitute one of the most highly concentrated natural primes in existence. It is estimated that on the average some six million tons of water flow into the Dead sea Jnt1 nI ha 1puGI n tho changes but little, an equal amount is pumped out daily by evaporation.
 Whereas ocean water contains about one-twentieth of it's weight in dissolved solids, the solids in solu- tion in Dead sea water make up one-fourth its weight. Potassium cloride makes up about one-fif- teenth of the total solids but com- mon salt Sodium cloride) Is fully five Hines as plentiful. The isola- ton of the potassium salts, there- fore, might be somewhat difficult on a commercial scale.
 Ashes or Petroleum May Have
 Caused Destruction
 "The present Dead sea Is 47 miles long and about 10 miles wide. It's surface lies approximately 1,- 300 feet lower than sea level and at its deepest point it's bottom lies another 1900 feet down. This great rift in the earth's crust, therefore. lies 2,eOo feet below sea level and is the deepest hole in the land any, where in the world. Because of tha intense heat and dryness and the presence everywhere of salt the land immediately about the Dead sea is a region of desolation. On some of the flats a few struggling, thorny desert plants grow and in some sheltered wadies where the

springs are fresh, small groups of palms struggle for existence. Most of the area, however, is a dry, rocky waste encrusted with salt, or nearer the sea, with slimy salt mud flats.
 Tt is quite possible that even six or seven thousand years ago, fin the era to which the Biblical chronicles reach. the then relatively moist climate of Palestine made the plain near the mouth Of the Jor- dan a rich land such as that which Lot found. It Is also quite possible that the Cities of the Plain So- dom, Gomorrha, and their fellows perished in a cataclysm brought about by modern secondary ad- justment in this region of tremen- dous earlier geologic disturbance.

 But" continued Lord Curzon, de- spite these general desires Great Britain was unable to act now be- cause the question was an allied one, the Cologne area being occu- pied by the Belgians and the French as well as the British and Great Britain being able to act only after consultation with the allies"
 Lord Curzon reviewed articles 428 and 429 of the Treaty of Versailles, dealing with the bridgcheads and the terms for their evacuation at successive periods. pointing out that evacuation depended upon the milt- tary control commissions report, which he said had been delayed two years, there having been constant and persistent obstruction from the Germans.
 With regard to reparations, he de- clared everyone hoped this aspect of affairs had been settled by the Dawes report. providing Germany Loyalty carried it out.

Enormous Supplies Of Potash
 Are to Be Found

Washington, D. C., Dec. 1s. - Enormous supplies of potash can be easily extracted from the waters of the Dead sea, according to re- cent assertions.
 "The Dead sea is the sink-hole of the world" says bulletin from the Washington. D. C., headquar- ters of the National Geographic society. 'In no other continent is there such a deep depression in the earth's crust; nor will one find greater desoation or more uncom- fortable conditions for man and most other living things even in the hearts of the greatest deserts.
 Sodom and Gomorrha
 "The Hebrew scriptures have thrown an atmosphere of tragedy about this country. There. the chronicle states, were situated the wicked cities of Sodom and Co., .morrha, destroyed by the wrath of Jehovah: and there the modern reader sees the blasted region, scared by unbearable heat, with it's bitter death-dealng waters, to prove the story to his satisfaction.
 According to the Biblical narra- tive the Jordan valley. and the plain near its mouth on the shores of the Dead sea where the de- stroyed cities lay, shared the early good fortune of the Promised Land itself and flowed with milk and honey But an end was put to this pleasant condition by the rain Of birthstone and fire.

 "The story of the region de- ciphered from it's rocks by geolo- gists begins much earlier than the days of the patriarchs whose ac- tions are recorded in the Bible. This record seems to indicate that Palestine and the whole western end of Arabia rose from the sea a million or more years ago in what geologists term the Tertiary era.
