BERLIN, Dec. II B.-An attempt
to hit the moon with a bomb is the
announced purpose of a newly founded
astronomical society of which DR..
Franz Hoeff, noted Viennese astrono-
mer, is one Of the leading members.
Discounting American plans for
shooting man up to the moon as a
"bit too fantastic" Dr. Hoeff is quoted
as saying the. society will attempt next
year to obtain virtually the same sci
entific results with light-bomb

moon rocket on which engineers and
savants are now working is designed
to reach the moon in 10 hours, pro-
PEELED through space at the rate Of a
little more than six miles second

Waldemar Stresemann, 22-year- old
son of Foreign Minister Gustav Strese-
mann, cannot quite make up his mind
whether he wants to be lawyer OF
a musician. At present he is studying
both law and music. Intimate friends
say he will ultimately choose law as
the more lucrative profession, though
music will always remain his first
love.
Herr Stresemann first attracted at
tention about a. year ago when Max
Won Schillings, former director gem
eral of the state opera, conducted a
movement from a symphony composed
by the budding genius from Wilhelm
strasse. More recently Stresemann

soon to be presented in Vienna. The
young composer is frequently seen al

MALARIA IN NUEvo LEON.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10 Especial to
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
bureau of public health have been

combat an outbreak of malaria there.
Orders have been issued to all mum

gate. They discovered that the last
man was really Fritz Noaek, the
brains Of the beggars' union. He had
furnished each Of the dozen members
of the union Identification papers
bearing his name, stationed each at
a money making street corner and
collected SO per cent of the proceeds.
Occasionally on stepping into Ber-
lin taxicab one is surprised at the
roominess of the interior and the lux
uriousness of the appointments. The
explanation is the simple one that
this is a transformed machine, not at
all built for taxi service, but formerly
the property of a wealthy German
who was stripped of his cash and se-
curities during the initiation period
and was obliged to sell everything OF
value to keep from starving.
SO the taxi rider travelling at the
rate of about 20 cents a mile, is often
getting the service of quite as good
car as he would have had to pay
$4,000 or $4,000 for with all the fancy
trimmings inside from the finest Of
upholstery to flower vases, ash re-
ceivers and cigar lighters.
1t will soon be possible to get into
a Pullman car in Berlin and Ia days
later be in Tokyo. At an international
railway traffic conference held here, a
plan has been adopted by which, be-
ginning May Is, 1927, a through serv-
ice from Germany to Japan by way of
Moscow and VladivostolS will be start
ed. For time it will be necessary to
change cars at Moscow, but this in
will be eliminated later
from Vladivostok the passenger will
go to Tokyo by boat The distance
from Berlin to Tokyo is about 5000
miles.
Now that the bob and shingle have
assumed ''menacing'' popularity in
Berlin the restauranteurs' association
has taken steps to combat what it
calls a grave evir' accompanying
bobbed hair. In accordance with a
resolution passed at a recent meeting
of the association several restaurants
have nailed up signs reading, Ladies,
it may not be polite to speak about it,
but please do not comb your hair at
the tables"

Such a diversion is denied him, how
ever, because his mere appearance on
foot would mean the stopping of all
traffic. An incognito is impossible.
His is the privilege enjoyed by King
Saul of old of whom the scriptures
say, When he stood among people he
was higher than any of the people
from his shoulders upward"

PARIS, Dec. Il Capitalization of
memoirs and novels that contain ref
erences to living men and women or
thinly yelled Characterization of them,
now causing criticism in England and
the United States, has struck France
much to the scandal of many critics.
new novel called "rhe Demon of
Impurity" has particularly stirred re-
sentiment in political circles because
the hero of the book bears some re-
semblance to M. Aristside BRAND, for
mer, and now minister of foreign
affairs.
The book is by Maurice Betz, one of
the most promising of Frances
younger novelists and describes how
prime Minister Alain Didler" is
stricken at the height of his career
by an obscure and subtle form of i'm
sanity. The author traces the progress
of the disease with a wealth of rather
dry scientific detail until the victim is
found wandering on the Jugoslav
frontier by italian customs officers.
Critics, while saying that the work
has merit, deplore the choice of al
hero bearing resemblance to living
person observing that there is grave
danger that a scandal loving public
will see real parsonage instead of
a fictitious character.

The French chamber of deputies has
just discovered that sucking pigs,
and not babies, are the chief sufferers
lin the manufacture of TON Thumb"
umbrella handles from milk products.
Deputy Admiral Jaures, brother of
the well-known socialist orator, in the
course of a debate on the agricultural
budget, asserted that the umbrella
handles were made from milk, huge
quantities of which were bought up
by manufacturers to the detriment of
the youth of the country.
His charges produced much indigna-
ton among his fellow deputies until
one of them observed that the compo-
sition from which the handles are
made are derived, not from fresh milk,
but from buttermilk and that the only
sufferers are sucking pigs, the sole
consumers of buttermilk in France.

AMERICA MAY
BE INVITED TO
2 CONFERENCES
u. S. Policy Will Not BE For
mulated, However, Until
Bids Are Received

Washington, Dec. lO--tAO-The in
tention Of the League Of Nations to
seek American collaboration in two
international conferences next year
has aroused interest but no comment
in Washington. Until the invitations
are received and details Of the con-
ference plans are known, no attempt
will be made TO formulate American
policy with respect to them.
One Of the conferences, to consider
world economic problems, is to be
convoked at Geneva May 4, and the
other, to consider supervision Of the
private manufacture Of arms, is to
be called next fall, it the general
disarmament conference, already au-
thOrised, goes over until 1928. The
United States also will be asked to
send representatives to sit on the
commission which will draft q con-
vention for consideration at the
arms nufacture conference.
Russia May BE Asked
Invitations to, take part in these
meetings also will be sent to Russia,
among other nan-members of the
league.
Apparently the main point for the
American government to consider in
connection with the economic confer
ence is the question Of war debts.
II war debts figure in the agenda,
the changed status of foreign obli-
cations to the United States will
have to be examined. Heretofore,
the administration has rejected sug-
gestions for participation in Euro
pean economic discussions which
touched in any way on the debts,
taking the position that the Amer
lean policy in that respect had been
determined by congress and that the
function Of the executive branch had
been limited to negotiation Of terms
Of payment.

PASSAGE OF
BRANCH BANK
BILL URGED
Comptroller of Currency
Claims Measure Needed as
Means of ResuscitatiOn

Washington, Dec. 1O-(P)-An urg-
ent appeal for enactment Of the Nc
Fadden branch banking bill was made
today by ]. w. Mcintosh, comptroller
of the currency, in his annual report
to congress.
Reporting a. STEADY decline in the
relative strength of the national
banking SYSTEM" Mr.. Mcintosh de-
clared the bill, which has passed
both the senate and house but on
which the two bodies have been un-
, able to work out their differences,
was required as means Of "resusci-
tation.'
He reiterated his disxpproval of
the Hull amendment, the bone of
contention between the senate and
house, which would restrict the
branches Of national banks hereafter
in states which do not permit branch
banks.
Despite the apparent weakening Of
the national bank system, Mr.. McIn-
tosh said the aggregate resources Of
the banks had gradually increased
year by year to . total Of about
$25,00O,OO0. At the same time, he
showed, the resources Of state COM
mercial banks have risen to about
$20, 900 900 900.
