PARIS, November 2s.-Former Pre-

avoid all the dangers in its course,
as was shown when it crashed on
the rocks of national finance, but it

might have caused serious embarrass;

This occurred during the Painleve
cabinets last days. Among the orig

the French treasury was one for an
exceptional national contribution to be
levied on all salaries of more than
$4,000 francs. When the proposal
went before the cabinet, however, an
influential member remarked immedi-
ately:
why, don't even think of such a
figure, my dear premier. You forget
that salary of deputy Is $1,000
francs Whereupon the cabinet

SWEPT
BY FOREST FIRES;
TIMBER LOSS HEAVY

BLOWING ROCK, n. c., Aug. 81.
Forest fires which broke out yester-
day, continued to ravage the wood
slopes today of Grandfather Mountain
near here, marring one of the most
popular beauty spots in the eastern
part of the United States.
Dry weather and high winds nour-
ishcd the flames and made the efforts
of wardens and citizens apparently
of little avail. Several million dollars
in timber losses, according to, unof-
fetal estimates, had resulted early
today as the conflagration continued
its destructive advance.
Viewed from distant points, the
entire mountain, which is a federal
government reservation, seemed to be
on fire. Resort hotels in the neigh
borhood, were believed to be beyond
the danger line.
Grandfather Mountain is in the
Blue Ridge range. On either side
in Vatuga county are Blowing Rock
and Linnville, summer resorts which
are visited by thousands Of persons
each year.

BRAIN Waves
RECEIVED BY
RADIO SET +.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, Ang. 21.-Sound waves
from a human brain have been picked
up by a radio receiver on a four to
ten-meter wave length.
The experiment is described by Pro
fessor Ferdinando Cazzamali, head of
the department of neurology and psy-
chiatry at the University of Milan, in
an article prepared for the forthcom-
ing issue of Revue de Metaphysique
and reviewed by lie Matin.
AS a result Professor Cazzsmali
foresees the transmission ofs sound
waves from one brain to another.
He says he operated with highly
excited persons or those suffering
from nervous diseases as we'll as the
noted Italian medium, Signora Maggi.
The patient was shut up in n per-
fectly insulated cabinet. The sounds
he heard through the receiver ranged
from signals akin to ordinary wire
less signals, to whistling and soft vio-
lin or cello notes. .....r
Similar results were obtained, he
declared, from persons under hypnosis.
In every case, however, the emana-
tons stopped when the subject re-
sumed normal and peaceful frame
of mind.
Professor Cazzamali says he is led
to believe the waves sent out from
the brain of one person under certain
conditions might be picked up by the
brain of another person of similar ner,
vous, mental or hypnotic condition.

Believed Near.

With the discovery of $4,000 worth

garments of woman of distinguished
mien who attempted to cross the
frontier Thursday at Nogales, customs
officials believe the master mind"
of the international smuggling con-
spiracy uncovered in San Antonio last

agents ordered the woman to disrobe

handkerchief and other valueless ar
ticles.
Among the petals of an embroidered
rose a brilliant cluster of rubies was
hidden. Another gave up an emerald
brooch. Elsewhere in the woman's
garments bracelets of pearls, diamonds
and other gems were concealed.

change jewels and valuable metals
