POLA TO ATTEND FUNERAL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. "a. Pola
Negri, Polish film star, will leave
here at noon tomorrow for New York
to attend the funeral services Mon
day for Rudolph Valentino, her
fiance
The actress previously had decided
to resume her motion picture work
tomorrow, on the advice of her ply
stefan that she should atteme~ to
lose herself in her work in order to
divert her mind from the tragedy
She changed her plans on receipt OF
a telegram giving the time of the
funeral service.
Miss Negri will remain in New
York until the arrival of Valentines
brother Alberto Guflielmo who today
cabled her from Europe that he is
sailing on ship which will arrive
in New York Wednesday. She will
leave New York for California and
her interrupted motion picture work
Immediately after seeing him. She
said she will use her influence to
nave Valentino buried in Hollywood
"Since he spent so many happy
hours-his happiest hours-here and
because / am here, want him buried
in Hollywood. But if his brother
should wish him buried in Italy, to
lie beside his father and mother
that is different;I can understand
that" said Miss Negri.

preme spiritual authority of the
church and no other such authority
can be recognized by Catholics. The
episcopate believes that the presi
dents religious regulation and regis.
tration of priests give to the gov
ernment such intimate and detailed
jurisdiction and authority over priest
ly functions, church management and
religious affair as to destroy the life
of the Catholic church and make the

The episcopate reiterates that il
will agree to the registration Of
priests if the government declares
that such registration is FOR admin
istrative purposes"-that is, that the
REGISTRATION will be merely a form
whereby the government will know
the persons responsible Cor the or

episcopate denies that the govern.
ment owns all church property as
implied by the religious regulations
and constitution. 1t considers that
the registration of priests, unless
the government specifically declares
that this is only for administrative

LEFT SMALL ESTATE

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. - Although
Rudolph Valentino earned approxi-
mately $2,OOO,O0O during his screen
career, he wastusually without money,
Joseph nj. Schenck, executive di-
rector of the United Artists corpora
tion for which Valentino made pic
lures, said today The potential
earning power of the man who
thrilled the romantic imagination of
screen fans was easily a million dol
lars a year, Schenck asserted. but
his net estate, so far as is known,
does not exceed $4,000.
Valentino was just beginning to
realize large earnings in the last
two years." Schenck said, 81 should
say that in the last year and a quar-
ter he had made between 100000
and $1,000,000 in pictures. He made
perhaps two million dollars during
his entire screen career.
Rudy made no investments. He
lived we'll, spending freely, and was
exceedingly generous with his friends.

regardless of his earnings He didn't

Valentino had taken out per-
sonel insurance policy for $5O,OoO,
Schenck said, with his brother and
sister, Alberto and Maria Guglielmo
as beneficiaries. The United Artists
had insured him for 100000. VAL
entino had made a will, which is now
in Hollywood, according to S. George
Ullman, the late actors manager.

D. c. BILLS

The first District Day in the
House yesterday resulted In the pas
sage OF two District bills and in an
attack on the present high farce
charged by the street railway com
panies.
The anticipated fight over the fis-
cal relationship between the Federal
and District Governments. failed to
materialize Both bills passed With;
out debate and without amendment,
the District program occupying the
House little more than a half hour.
The most important OF the bills
authorizes appropriation of $4,000
from the District surplus fund for
the purchase OF land to complete
the Rock Creek Potomac parkway
The second bill provides for a
transfer OF jurisdiction in non.
support cases from the Municipal
to the Juvenile Court. 1t defines
n0nsupport as a rnisdemeanor. AT.
present nonsupport is a. crime pun
ishable by jail sentence at hard
labor.
The bill passed yesterday, 1t Is be.
lieved, will result in more convic.
tons on non-snppoft charges than
has been possible under the pres
emit law.

ton Of Texas. addressed the House

declared would soon be presented

Christmas Time Gay
With Songs of Birds

Christmas in New Zealand has an
entirely different aspect from cur
Christmas There II Is the time Of
the singing OF birds. Their plum
ages at this season are bright. their
singing notes particularly sweet
Many nests are completed in Sep

Owls, and petrels are the waits who,
on Christmas eve, announce the ap-
proach Of Christmas day. The COM
mon morepork owl Is a forest bird.
Its whoo-whoo Is bodIng, but few
sounds, TO New Zealanders' ears, are
more pleasing. Some petrels laugh
mockingly as they fly overhead at
night. The black petrel-as black as
night itself-has a note that seems
to combine soft whistle with a deep
whirr coming from the bottom Of a
husky throat, a loud and rasping note,
utterly unmusical. Bellbirds, tuis and
other melodists on Christmas day,
from exquisitely tuned throats, send
forth a wild bewildering carol, long
before a church bell has climbed.

Poetic Imagery That
Fixes Idea of Places

a memorial to Milton has been un-
ye!-ed in the place which he made
famous by his words Thick as au-
tumnal leaves that strew the brooks
in Vallombrosa."
Today the trees Of Vallombrosa are
mainly pines, and the "autumnal
leaves" that fall from the few beeches
and chestnuts scarcely seem sufficient
ly numerous to carry out the NIL
tonic idea Of multitude. But the quo
tation is not likely TO become any
less popular on that account, and,
in the minds Of all lovers of poetry,
the woods Of Vallombrosa will remain
thick-carpeted with leaves. It would
also be Of interest to trace the IN
iuence OF the poets on our Ideas Of
places. Thanks to Byron, Chillon Is
forever associated with a dungeon I;
and a famous sonnet Of Keats has
linked Darien with q sea view from

Freaks Made

day that he watched the papers care
fully for announcements and descrip-
tons Of freaks, both animal and hu-
man. The day of the conversation he
had found a small cable dispatch tell
Ing Of the birth Of two-headed girl
in Europe. When the new summer
show season is about to open, the
sideshow man goes through his clip
pings and decides which OF the freaks
described he will show. He then has
one manufactured by a specialist who
supplies such material. The newspa-
per clipping serves as proof to the
public that there is such a freak.

Ancient EnQIish Term

The term whole cloth" has been in
use in the English language from
about the year 1875. The first official
record there is Of 1t is to be found In
the Parliamentary Rolls" Of 1882,
when whole cloths were called broad
cloths. A whole cloth, says the Lit
erary Digest. is "a bolt of cloth Of
the full size manufactured" as dis
tinguished from piece cloth, which is
cloth from which garment has been
cut"
In figuratlve use, connecting a bad
sense, the expression "cut or made out
Of the whole cloth" is used with the
significance Of entirely" or wholly"
so that when we speak Of "a story
made out of the whole CLOTH" we
mean an absolutely untruthful one.
Sometimes, however, the expression IL
used with a good sense, as when we
speak of a man Of unblemished repu-
tation and integrity, and refer to him
as being "cut out of the whole cloth"
