Ten Million Saving Is
 Easv, Witness Says

Washington, Jan. l2.-EXpenses Of the governments merchant meet could be reduced Slo,00O,t0O a year by "any competent shipping man. Commissioner Hummer, Nice-chalr- man of the shipping board, today told the house committee inN"stlgat- ing the board and it's subsidiaries.
 He explained that government Ns- scIs do not have to earn interest on the investment nor do they have 10 set aside an annual sinking sund to cover such expenses. This condition about equalizes the advantage for eign ships have over American Ves- srls, he said, and If foreign ships break even government vessels should do the same.
 The witness cited instances where experienced operators are showing q slight profit in operating govern mcnt vessels.

New York, Jan. 12.-The Thiers pearl necklace, bought by Americans last year for S65S,000 after having Len for An years on exhibit in the Paris Louvre, has reached here. passed the customs, and is now in the custody of the Cartier Galleries. The pearls, 145 Of them ih three strands with a diamond and ruby clasp and a center pearl of 8 grains, will be exhibited at the galleries next week.
 sixty years ago, when pearls were less fashionable President Thiers of France bought his wife for 60,00o francs a necklace to which she add ed matched gems until. at her ceath the entire piece had an intrinsic value of 234,O0O francs. She wiled it to the Louvre Museum, where it lay for 40 years.
 The French parliament decided last year that the pearls did not possess enough artistic value to jus tify their retention in the Louvre, and authorized that they be sold for charity. The resulting auction was q spectacular bidding in which Baron de Rothschild led agents represent ing clients all over the world until Lopez Terragoya of Paris obtained the necklace for Carriers, New York merchants in jewels.
 For whom Carriers were acting, and who undertook safely to escort the necklace to America has not been disclosed.

PIECE OF STATUE
 FOUND IN RIVER
Head of Augustus Caesar Dug
 From the Hudson

New York, Jan. 1?,--Mystcry still surrounds the marble head of Au- gustus Caesar, which was drawn up from tho Hudson river by a war de- partment dredge and was on exhibit today in a Fifth avenue art gallery. Many critics and sculptors are Of the opinion that Inc sculpture is the work of a master artist Of the first century,
 The head was imbedded ten feet in hard clay at the bottom of the Hudson. Engineers and river cX- perts who have been consulted said it might have taken 100 or quo years for the marble to sink to the depth al which it was found.
 How the piece came to he thNre is a puzzle which has not been satis- factorily solved. One theory is that it might have fallen overheard or been thrown from q sailing vessel years ago. Another is that 1t might have remained on the river bed rom some maritime wreckage.
 The piece was slightly damaged when 1t was sucked mp by a dredge near the mouth Of the Hudson and at a spot over which virtually all ships from Europe pass in making their piers. The nose and parts Of the cars were broken and the neck and chin were loosened by the fall of the stone into the dredGe's hold
 One expert said, however, that despite the battered condition of the head it was the second finest of many marbles of the Roman ruler in existence. It is of Carrara marble and weighs 50 pounds.

TAKE SALTS IF RHEUMATISM IS
 BOTHERING YOU
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid Qd
 Toxic Acid

Rheumatism is no respccter of age, sex, color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile dress as warm- ly as<possibe. avoid any undue ex- posture and above all. drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorb cd into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a table, spoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste afd stimulate the kidneys, thus helping 10 rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
 lad. Salts is inexpensive, and it made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject 10 rheumatism.

SPEED SOUGHT BY
 EUR0PEANPLANES
Exhibits in Paris Bring Out
 Light and Powerful Models

Paris, Jan 12. Speed. speed and more speed. was the main ob- ioct toward which airplane manu- facturers striyed during 1924. judg- ing hy the exhibits shown at the Ninth French Aviation Salon in the Grand Palais. It seems as If the trend toward monstrous machines with weight lifting capacity ranging from three 10 Ave tons, prevalent at last years salon, has been aban- doned.
 In order to achieve speed, the de- sIgners and manufacturers have re- Terted to monoplanes and sesqui- planes, all-metal thick wings, and powerful motors built as light as possible.
 "The manufacturer must build whatever the customer wants," said Monsieur F. Dewoitinne. Tn our case the customer is the state and the state wants fast planes. so 1t is up to us to supply them"
 There are orders for 300 of these fast plane now on file at the De- woitinne plant for delivery in 1925. They are distributed among the following governments: Jugoslavia, Italy, -slovakia. Belgium and Japan. It Is understood that the largest order comes from the Far Eastern country.
 Nieuport presents a sesquiplane armed with four machine guns, de- spite the fact that it Is only 7.5o meters in length and has a wing spread of only 12 meters. They say its 450 horsepower motor can haul that plane at rate of 300 kilome- ters per hour for three solid hours. It has a lifting capacity of 500 kilos.
 Potez, salmson, Breguet and Caudron all turned in pursuit planes" with dimensions and lift ing capacity similar to the Nieu- port. They all claim to be able to negotiate between 250 and 300 kilo- meters an hours.
 DonulHS biplane
 Farman alone exhibits a huge plumbing biplane, equipped with four 500 horsepower motors, which weighs l1,00O kilos when ready to take the air. This weight includes e,500 kilos of bombs and 2,0o0 kilos of fuel.
 The armament Of this air cruiser consists of 32 bombs of 56 kilos each, with seven to ten bombs of 100 and 200 kilos, all arranged with automatic release. Provision is made for bombs of 800 kilos in- stead of the lighter bombs when necessary. Two machine guns, one lore and another aft, complete the military equipment. It carries a crew of seven men; two machine gunners. two pilots. two mechanics and a navigating officer. who also acts as bombing expert.
 A Salmson motor capable of de- Veloping 4So horsepower and weigh ing only S30 kios. was the sub. Ject of much scrutiny by the ex- perts.
 TO the layman one of the most popular features of the salon has been the Breguet machine with winch Captain Pelletier d'Oisy flew from Paris to Shanghai. The motor which propelled the plane from Paris to Hanoi. has been taken apar and the worn condition of some of the pieces just holding by . thread has been giving the yjsi- tors a thrill as they discuss what might have been."
