Washington, March 17.-Jacob Gould Schurman, now minister to China was named today by President Coolidge as ambassador to Germany.
 MT. Schurman will take the place of Ambassador Houghton, recently transferred from Berlin to London. His elevation to the rank of ambass- ador follows out a policy of the present administration to make promotions within the service wherever possible.
 As minister to %htna since 1921, Mir. Schurman has won the high re- gard of administration officials here by the manner in which he has handled many delicate diplomatic situations resulting from the ever changing aspect of internal Chinese politics. Before he entered the diplo- matic service he was president Of Cornell University, and had won an international reputation as an edu- cator and student of public affairs. Years ago he served as minister to Greece.
 Of Dutch decent. Mir. Schurman studied in his younger days at three German universities-Heidelberg, Berlin and Gottingen-and in both France and England. He was born seventy years ago at Freetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and was naturalized in New York state in 1892.

Declares AirpIanes Could
 Wage an Awful Warfare

San Diego, Cal, March IT, Speaking before the Hammer club of the American Legion here yes- terday, Colonel Harry Graham. com- mandant of Rockwell field, said air planes could make war so terrible that the nation with an inferior air defense would be forced 10 sue for peace.
 "The only protection against air attack is other aircraft and they must be ready 10 fight at the out break of hostilities,' Colonel Gra- ham said. Potential air power will not suffice. The fact that the arma- ment conference placed no limita- tion on airplanes is an indication of the importance of air power"
 Giant airships capable of carrying scores of bombing and fighting ships will be the next development the colonel believes.

Batavia N. T., March 1.-The wrecking during last night of one or more fast New York Central pas senger trains probably was prevent ed by the prompt action of an itin- erant laborer who did not have the price to ride and was walking on the right of way, it became known here today.

He walked two miles back to Batavia to report it.
 New York Central officials said several trains already had passed over the broken rail. each widening the gap, and that had it not been discovered and repaired before morning, wreck might easily have occurred. De Santis was given a bed in a hotel, three meals, and a railway pass to Syracuse by Su- perintendent of Tracks Henry w. Clough.

CHAPMAN ELECTS TO BE TRIED BY
 JURY, HIS LAWYER TELLS JUDGE:
 CHANGE OF VENUE HEARING TODAY
Mayor Wants Woman Cop To Stop Drinking And Smoking By Girls
 In Coat Rooms Of Dance Halls
Reported Conduct of FIappers At High School Socias
 Said to Be Behind Movement

In drive to curb smoking, drinking and other practices which he has been advised are prevalent among certain groups of young women in the city. Mayor A. M. Pao- nesSa today requested Chairman David L. Dunn of the police com- mission to ask his board for an ex- pression of opinion on the advisabil- ity of so amending the charter as to make possible the appointment of one policewoman or more.
 I, The mayor Is convinced there Is need for policewomen here. AL though today's step was accompanied by his first public announcement. 1t is known that he made a similar suggestion to the police commission more than year ago but nothing was done at that time.
 The executive has requested speedy action at this time so an amendment may be offered to the cities and boroughs committee of the general assembly for incorpora- tion in the citys charter.
 The charter now provides for a police force to consist of d certain number of 'patrolmen" and officers, and in order to name a policewoman 1t will be necessary to have the char ter amended.
 High school fraternity dances are said to have caused in q great meas ure the impression in the mayors mind that there is need for female member of the force to assure proper supervision. The cloak rooms of halls in which these affairs are held are frequently scenes of actions
New Britain herald., 1925-03-17

that should not be tolerated, 1t is claimed, but in the absence of any means by which policing can be had the practices have gone on uninter- rupted. It Is his plan to have a poilcewoman assigned to every pub lie gathering at which there Is a possibility of smoking and drinking on the part of the young women, the officer to be stationed In the cloak room to interrupt and If necessary take into custody girls whose actions are not proper.
 While the practices of young women attending dances are respon- slble more than any other element of the city's department for the mayors move, 1t Is his belief that such city employe could serve the department to advantage in other ways. investigation of cases involv- ing girls would be productive of better results If placed in the hands of @ capable woman, the mayor feels. He believes Q girl would speak more frankly to a woman and better understandings would result. Mayor Paonessa admits the diff culty of locating women who by training and disposition are fitted for this kind of work, but he be- lieves the police commission will find it possible to secure the serv- ices of capable policewomen.
 In recent trip to the middle vest Mayor Paonessa studied the governmental systems of several of the larger cities through which he passed. In places where there are policewomen, he reports, the mu. nicipalities report satisfactory re. suits.

FOR TEN YEARS DEPENDABLE

For ten understandable. These
words express the successful attain
ment of an ideal conceived in the
minds of the founders before the first
a bearing Dodge Brothers name
was placed in the hands of a pur-
chaser late in 1914 says Mr.. Car
hart Of the Smiley Motor Co., local
dealer, in commenting on Dodge
Brothers latest advertisement.
THE word dependable when it
appeared on the poster boards and
in the magazines and newspapers sew
eral years ago, focused public atten-
ton on n basic characteristic to
which, more than n other, is due
the good name which Dodge Brothers
Motor Car enjoys everywhere.
Having decided to produce a car
bearing their name, Dodge Brothers
kept 'Dependability' constantly in
mind while they were designing the
units, selecting the materials, pre-
scribing the heat treatments and de-
termining the machining and assem-
bling processes and inspections.
1.-The four-cylinder, L-type of en-
CINE was selected because it has al
ways been known, over great periods
of service, to be the most dependable
and free from need of repairs or ad-
justments.
THAT their judgment a decade ago
was sound is evidenced clearly by the
fact that over rs per cent of all pass
