NEW YORK, October 24.-That

before the National Arts Club Monday
night, was described with cynical hu

fired for China, but ricocheted around
the world today causing the boiling UP

Brig Gen. J. V. CharteriS, chief OF
the intelligence service of the British
army during the war, stood on the
deck of the Pennsylvania, sailing for
Glasgow, and facing in the general di-

assurances that what he said would be

Cabinet Crisis Likely in Paris

PARIS, October 24.-The rise in the
dollar and sterling to heights un.
known on the French bourses since
the armistice, excepting for the March.
1924, furry, was the only outsta nding
feature today in the development of
the two problems, financial and po-
litical, facing the French government.
The franc today sold above "a to the
dollar; exchange transactions at the
banks were made on the basis of PALS
francs to the dollar, and III to the
pound sterling.
AS compared with the March, 1924,
situation. there is no Morgan loan
forthcoming to bring the francs back
to relative commercial par value
Cabinet Changes Likely.

sinking fast on the international ex-

prospect that changes in the Painlevc
cabinet must be made, are problems

able authority that the cabinet is di-
vided on the merits of NJ. Caillaux's S

able tide against the franc. Relia BILE

the statement that $40,000,00O, thrown

And today they watched the dollar
soar from the closing 1858 to 24.15

the meantime all foreign stocks quot

The political crisis, although more
acute in official circles, is causing less
popular interest than the antics of
the dollar and the sterling on the
Bourse. The general public seems rec.
onciled to the fact that NJ. Caillaux is
likely to be forced out of the cabinet
next week, but opinions differ as to
the manner in which he will depart.

Gouls Conceded to Be
First Makers of Soar

Made from goats tallow and beech
wood ashes, the earliest forms of soap
were used by the ancient inhabitants
of Germany to give a reddish color to
the hair, according to the records of
the historian, Pliny the elder. Al
though mixed into hard and LIQUID
material, Ii was not known as a
cleansing substance, but was often
employed in the treatment of skin
troubles.
The Gauls, 1t is said, introduced IL
into other parts of the world.
Today the yearly production in the
United States is estimated to be
I two and one-half billion pounds. Not
until about the Second century of the
Christian era was the product used as
cleansing article, it is claimed, and
an ancient factory for manufacturing
the material unearthed in the ruins of
Pompeii still contained quantity OF
1t in a good state of preservation.
Northern Spain and Marseilles later
became the chief centers of the in
dastry and produced large amounts of
the CASTLE variety from olive oil and

OF soap among Asiatic peoples are
believed to refer to some kinds of
mixtures which were devoted to pur-
poses entirely apart from those of

Quaintance:
"a friend of mine is butcher, who
some time ago noticed a big collie
come into the shop, wag its tail and
drop a letter at his feet. The meat
man opened the note and discovered
that it was an order, signed by the
collie's master, for piece of sausage,
The dog was given the meat, and the
amount chalked up On the masters
account. This occurred several times.
and finally the butcher ceased to IN
fold the notes, knowing what they
contained.
1.-THE dog continued his visits more
or less frequently, and when the ac-
/. count went in there was a kick from
its owner There was something like
ten pounds of sausages charged to
the animal Its master said he hac
only given a dozen or so orders to the
dog. He happened to be in the shop
the next day when his dog came In
and dropped the usual piece of pa
per. Then it was found that Nero
noticing that the butcher didn't read
the order, had been picking up stray
pieces Of paper, folding them, and
taking them to the shop, thereby as

that anyone convicted of stealing

Punishment was carried out, not by

An achievement like that Of the

from trough to crest. represents for

What Your Ewes Tell

We are told that the eyes Of the
intellectual man are gray, and 1t is .
fact that most men of genius have
gray eyes. Brown eyes are said TO
express temperament rather than In
tellect.
Although brown eyes flash with an
ger, light up with Joy, and change
swiftly with jealousy, blue and gray
eyes can express greater sadness.
Green and black eyes are supposed
to be the most wicked. Becky Sharp's
green eyes played an important part
in her various conquests.
The "vamp" in modern fiction usual
ly possesses flashing eyes of either
green or black Actually, there are
no black eyes; dark brown or dark

capfius Orang-Utan
ShoDed Intelligence

An orang-utan named Dohong,
which was brought to the New York
600 from Borneo some years ago, as
tonished US by his intelligence, w. Red
Blair writes in the American Maya
zine. A gas pipe four feet long and
two Inches In diameter was wired to
the bars at the front Of his cage. The
pipe itself could not be tilted or moved.
Inside this pipe-in the very middle
piece of banana was placed. Do
hong, who was very fond Of bananas,
tried to get 1t. First he attempted to
reach it with his hands, then his feet.
and failed. He tried to loosen the
| pipe, but he couldn't do that. He was
very much disturbed over his inability
to get at that banana, and sat down
to think 1t over. But no happy solu-
ton came to him-for the simple rea-
son that, under the circumstances,
there wasn't any.
Finally, without Dohong's knowl-
edge, stick two feet long with q hook
| In the end of it was concealed In the
straw of his cage. Then Dohong was
put back in the cage and we waited.
In the course of Is minutes Dohong
accidentally came across the hooked
stick. 1t didn't mean anything to him
on the instant, but presently he was
struck by bright idea. He inserted
| the hooked end Of the stick into the
pipe, and, loI out came the banana on
| the hook! After that, when banana
was put inside the pipe, Dohong
wasted no time trying to reach it with
his hands, but began looking at once
| for the hooked stick.
This seemed to me to indicate a
high order of intelligence.
