driver of the cab and the taxi and
also the supervision Of the taxieab
industry in this city.

Investigated the source of the com.

ing afidavits, one of which is print

Hylan Family interested.
1t is we'll known fact that rela-
tives of Mayor Hylan are financially
interested in the Yellow Taxi corpor-
alton. Carol Sinnott, the brother of
the secretary and son-in-law to the
mayor is one of the traffic managers of
the Yellow Taxi corporation. In view
of this state of affairs, it is not strange
that there is discrimination on the
part of the administration in favor
of the Yellow Taxi corporation.

Johanna Gadski, for 20 years n
prima donna at the Metropolitan
Opera in New York. starring prin-
cipally In Wagnerian roles, has re-
turned to the concert stage this au-
tumn In Berlin. the scene of her
first triumphs, She had not APP
peared In public since the World
war.
Critics found that her voice re-
tatns much OF the briliancy for
which she was famous during her
Metropolitan engagements. Her first
evening consisted OF an exclusively
Wagnerian program. In the course
OF which she sang "Elsa's Dream"
from "Lohengrin". "Dich Teure
Halle" from "Tannhauser" and vari-
GUS selections from Tristan and
Isolde" The Berlin Symphony or
chestra varied the program by play
ing the preludcs to "Lohengrin' and
die Meistersinger."
Her second program was devoted
entirely TO German songs.

Want 10 Be Slim, Berlin News
Letter Says

Berlin, Oct. 81 H1--The opening
o. the rail hunting season found
President Won Hindcnburg a. his
hunting lodge at Werbellin, In the
provence OF Brandenburg, A. miles
north OF Berlin, which was first
placed at the disposal OF the Chief
Executive during the Ebert regime,
The president is an excellent shot,
and always brings down at least one
deer a week.
His next door neighbor is the So
ciallst Premier OF Prussia, Otto
Braun, who occupies a hunting
lodge owned by the Prussian state.
Berlin wags facctiously claim
| that the foreign ocice always sends
diplomatic note by courier to the
deer in advance OF President Won
Hindenburg's and Premier Braun's
departure for Werbe Hin. so that the
heads OF the nation and the largest
Of the federated states may not be
kept waiting for the deer TO appear
within range Of their guns.
Want to BE slim
German women, craving to be as
slender as the fashionable American
women, are trying every conceiY-
able method, including some danger
Gus remedies, to get thin and stay
thin, says DR.. Hermann Kerschen-
steiner, professor of internal medi-
cine at the University OF Munich.
While deploring the inroads made

on German "Kultur'. DR.. Kerschen-
steiner says that the fashion of being
slender Is one Of the greatest bles-
sings that has come to Germany
from the United States since the
war.
physicians are sought by cor
.pulent women who desire to get
thin" he says, ALSO by normal wo-
men who desire to bet thinner and
by other women who have endan-
gered their health by quack or
harmful reducing remedies
The resumption of pre-war habits
Of eating and drinking following the
lean years of the war, he says have
led to unhcalthful corpulency among
many Germans, and physicians are
warning women TO diet to be stylish
The spread Of American fashions
and customs in Germany, DR.. Kers'
chensteiner asserts, is proof that the
United States was the real victor il

Astronomy is a subject capable Of

attention and In perfect quiet,
whereas lectures on other subjects
