CLAIM METHOD
 TO BREAK ATOM

LONDON, Jan. 15.-'I don't want to imagine what will happer to the world if we succeed in splitting the atom-I will just wait to see," pr T. F. Wall, president of Atshefield university, told students at the i'm perial college in a lecture on his ex- periments toward efforts to break up the atom.
 Dr. Wall has been working for nearly a year on the deep problem of splitting the atom, and he re- gently claimed that success was at hand, although he failed to demon state this to . body of skeptical savants.
 The scientist says that if the atom is split and it's energy released the whole world will blow up like a firecracker Dr. Wall used slides and a blackboard recently in his lee ture to illustrate his methods, but the students seemed skeptical Af- ter the lecture Dr. Wall requested questions, whereupon one of the students asked:
 What would your eye observe if an atom was actually split?'
 "T don't know what I would actu ally see and I don't want to imag- ine," parried Dr. Wall

Tax On Spinsters,
 Bachelors, Is Urged
 By Noted Clergyman

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-There's a new way to check race suicide-tax spinsters and bachelors.
 That's the idea of Dr. s. Parkes Cadman, one of New York's most celebrated clergyman. He thinks un- married men and women should be made to pay for their freedom.
 The reincarnation of the birth of Jesus Christ takes place every three minutes in New York-every time child is born" Doctor Cad !! an declared ia an address to the young men,
 Radiant hopefulness and a new conception of life at the birth of every baby spell out a truer mes sage of Christmas than anything the wisest of men can say.
 Domestic bliss is the most per manent blessing known. It is the coronation of human experience. Men and women of middle age, who pre-. fer the false happiness of single blessedness to the sweet responsi bility of a family, ought to be made to pay.
 That procedure would keep Amer. ica away from the looming blaci: gulf of race suicide"

 BURIAL OF FRENCH
 WAR DEAD CLAIMED

PARIS, Jan. i4.-Charges that pri yatv contractors who have had final disposition of French war dead have shamefully engaged in profiteering have been made to the government by special commissions after careful in vestgations. Widespread prOsecu- tions have been recommended. It is alleged that the treatment of these honored dead amounts to desecra- tion.
 After the war France adopted the same system as the United States, and secured ground at various cen tral points for military cemeteries. This was done to group the graves of men who fell in the war and were buried wherever convenient during the fighting. It entailed the transfer of many thousands of bod ies and this work was turned over to private contractors, who were re- sponsible for Identification as well as regrOupment
 The newspaper La Liberte now charges that many of these contrac- tors have been scheming to cheat the government, without reverence for the men, who gave their lives for their country.
 Bodies have been transferred as many as seven times," the newspa- per says, notably at Clery-sur- Somme. Rosieres- -en-Santerre and Rambervillers, and often buried close to the surface to facilitate eXhuma- tion. At Fleury, bodies were laid only forty centimeters from the sur face
 The commission appointed to reg ulate war speculation ruled that 20 francs was fair price for eXhuming, transporting and burying body. But in the Soissons sector as much as 100 francs has been charged.
 These prices netted huge profits, especially in busy sectors,'' where it was possible to move four or five hundred bodies a day. The most inconsiderate haste was used in or der to increase the returns, and this naturally was disastrous for identi- | fication
 Many contractors, the Liberte charges, paid little attention to iden- tification, and the fast work result ed, with repeated removals, in the | loss of identification of a great many bodies that were definitely known.
 The newspaper further charges that private belongings of much value, such as jewels worn by the soldiers when they fell, were stripped from the bodies by the contractors and not turned over to the authorities.
 Another method of alleged graft has been the purchase of more than one coffin for body by the con- tractors.
 The Liberte estimates that some of these contractors realized a profit of 400 per cent.

QUEEN MARIE GIVES INTERVIEW

 BELGRADE, Jan. 27.-Queen Marie of Jugoslavia, a Rumanian by birth and Serbian by marriage, who is ac- companying King Alexander on his tour through southern Serbia, has aroused warm controversy between Bulgaria and Serbia ethnologists by the costume she has been wearing on her travels.
 She appeared at Skopie in a local costume of bright colors on a white woolen background. When the. eth nologists in Sofia heard of this, they made the charge that she was wear ing Bulgarian costume in order to appeal to the sentiments of Bulgar- ian population. The Belgrade eth nologists retorted spiritedly that the Queen was wearing a Serbian costume.
 So much local interest was manifest ed that finally the question was re- ferred to the Queen herself. To the newspaper reporter she made answer: Il am wearing the costume of my people, and the reason is that find it becoming"

ALL OFF WITH UGLY SIGNS ON
 FLORIDA ROADS
(Ry Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press) TALLAHASSEE, Florida, Jan. 27- A movement to eliminate unsightly
 signs from along the public highways in Florida, started in Lake county,
 two years ago, has spread so rapidly that 21 of the 63 counties in the state have established regulations prohibit ing any signs on public highways ex- cept those placed there by authority of the county or state as definite guides.
 The Florida Development Board which is the state chamber of Com merce, began IS months ago a move ment to coordinate throughout the state and help to crystalline sentiment fayoring conservation of scenery. Fol lowing elimination of the unsightly signs, county commissioners have or ganiZed in IT counties to beautify the roads.
 Now a movement is spreading to replace the road signs with shrubs and flowers in certain locations; else where it is being urged upon the county and satte authorities that steps be taken toward the conservation of natural growth along the public high ways where a roadway is under con- struction and that rightofways 100 feet wide be set aside on the princi- pal highways.
 Agitation for the conservation of fine old oak trees is resulting in some two-way roads in many communities
 In many places the county engineer has left the old road on one side of row of magnificent oak trees and made new road on the other side rather than take out the trees to widen the roadbed
