DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS
BERLIN.
Some of Former kaiser's Own Family Are Opposed to Monarchy's Return.

Berlin, Nov. 20. The Hohenzolerns are far from being united in favor of the restora- ton of the monarchy. Among the most out spoken in opposition Is Prince Adabert, third son of former Emperor William. Shortly after the revolution in November 191s Adal- bert wired President Ebert placing his vices at the disposal of the Republic.
 Unlike Prince Henry. the ex-Kaiser'. brother), I consider it my duty" he said Ito support the newly electeI government with every means at my disposal
 The bitter quarrel that ensued between the Prince and his father outgroyth Of this declaration has never been entirely soothed. Their relations would by no means be i'm proved if the former Kaiser ever makes use of the castle at Homburg, which the state of Prussia has set aside for him. Prince Adal- bert with his wife, the former Princess Ade- held of Saxony, and their two children live in a villa near the castle. The Prince as the favoritc son Of the late Empress Augusta Victoria also resented his rather's remarrage.

ONDON- Lady Rhondda Thinks There Are Too
 Many Idle Women Among the
 Rich.

London, Nov. 20. P-Lady Rhondda, Eng lands leading business woman believes that there ar, too many ale women among the smart set and that their ideas especially those on sex. as a whole are unhealthy"
 Lady thondda. writing under inc pseudo nyIn of "Candida," Time and Tide" fem mist weekly review which publication she controls says: The number Of idle, useless has increased enormously in sixty years, and not only that, but their influence has increased enormously"
 It Is contened that there is smart set or it's equivalent in every town, and every sub urb, 'lich spends it's time playing afternoon bridge motoring, playing tennis, and otherwise idles away day after day, with the sole idea of time killing.
 There is danger that this unhealthy i'm moral and corroding attitude toward life may spread throughout the community" Lady Rhondda assctrs, and charges the women of leisure with teaching men and young women to dislike work, to value material comfort, personal adornment and social advancement and 10 judge people purely on how they dress.
 People of this class put entirely too much emphasis On the sex problems and the inn portance of sexual attraction" declares the Niscountess.

Divide Up Old Castles.

The problem of dividing up the eleventh century ancestral castle and estate, Burg Hohspzoern, at Sigmaringen, from which the Hohshzoern family takes it's name, has been solved in an unsatisfactory manner by the ex- Kaiser's settlement with the State of Prussia.
 The castle proper with it's large courtyard has been allotted to the former Kaiser's fam fly, The outer moat, outlying bastions and the roads leading up to the castle. however, have become the property of the state. All other lands of the castle passes into the possession of the cola ateral line of Hohenzollerns resid- ing at SiSmaringen. In effect the family owns place to which he has no access unless the state grants permission.

 Q. How did the superstition about the influence ot the moon upon human affairs originate?
 A. Early man believed that the changes Of the moon poctended change in the lot Of mortals. He feared the moon more than any other natural object. The Bushmen have superStitious dread Of the moon and it's changing aspects, be- lieEing it can cause great damage 10 earth and man. The following is their conception Of the changes: Having incurred the wrath of the sun, the moon (which is in reality a man. according 10 their belicf), ha been knifed until nearly de- stroyed. Having impIored mercy, he is permitted to grow from the small piece until he is large and full and round again, al which time the stabbing process begins all over. There have been many people who considered the crescent moon un- lucky and had various superstitions concerning It for this reason.
 Q. When will the Sesquicenten- nial Exposition in Philadelphia close?
 A. November 30, 1926.
 Q. Can you tell me something about William Boyd, the movie actor?
 A. He was born In Cambridt, Ohio, in 1900 and educated in Okla homa. He began his career In busi- ness but entered the movies more than five years ago. He is mar ried to Elinor Fair and has one son aged three by his first wife, Diana Miller. He is six feet one inch tall and weighs one hundred and seven- ty pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes.
 Q. How Is the transmission of pictures accomplished with the tele- pix?
 A. The machine both sends and receives niCtures by tolegraphic dots and dashes. requiring from one hour to 75 minutes to transmit an or dinary photograph. The number of signals required for one picture is said to be fewer than half the num- Der of dots and dashes necessary to telegraph 1000 words. The sending operator fixes copper halftone plate made from a photograph to q revolving drum. Where each dot appears on the plate an electrical contact is established. On the re- ceiving machine the dots are record ed on chemically impregnated paper fastened to a similar drum, at the rate of 40 dots second.

Premier Wears Old Coat.

The overcoat Raymond Poincare, the Prem fer, wore to the inauguration Of the Canadian students hostel. a ceremony attended by President Doumergue and the Prince of Wales, was the very embodiment of the Premier's policy Of rigid economy. Obviously a ready made affair. it must have dated from NJ. Poin- cares first premiership in 1912, and its vel vet collar and cuffs were noticeably trayed at the edges Always a simple dresser, VI. Poincare clings to the old-tashioned high natent leather huttoned shoes. Spats mean nothing in his busy life. The waistcoat Of his evening dress is old fashioned black. not the modsh white. His only vestige of elegance lies in a shiny top coat which he dons only on formal occasions. The rest of the time hn sports fuzzy little felt hat, usually cooked rakishly over one eye.
