QUEER THINGS IN THE SKY

No popular belief is more firmly
fixed than that frogs, fish, snakes,
angleworms, turtles, insects and
other small creatures are drawn up
into the clouds by the sun and later
rained down upon the earth. Any
thinking man knows that the sun,
which cannot vaporize the salt in the
ocean and carry it into the clouds,
cannot pick up small animals and
hold them floating in the atmos-
phere. The presence of these Great
ures on the ground Immediately
after a shower is probably due to
one of two reasons. In the case OF
frogs, worms, turtles and insects,
sthey were probably there before the
rain and the downpour stimulated
them into activity In the case OF
fish and some other creatures, 1t is
quite possible, scientists explain
for a waterspout or cyclonic wh1rl-
wind to scoop up pond and its con.
tents and deposit it at distant
point, just as it will carry pebbles
and pieces of wood a long distance.
So-called "blood showers" usually
consist of colored dust, volcanic ash
or plant pollen in the raindrops.

REMEMBER DEFEAT,
GERMANY IS TOLD
President of IndustriaIist
League Says People Try
to Live Too High.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT-ON-M MAIN, Germany,
September 3.-The tendency of the Ger
man peope to forget that 1--WE lost
the biggest war in history" was de-
nounced by Carl Duisberg, president
of the League of German Industrial
lists, yesterday in an address opening
the annual convention of that organi-
cation.
Everybody seems to think he has
the right to live better than before the
war; he went on; the opposite ought
to be true.
"It is simply indefensible for col
lapsed Germany, of all nations, to in
sist that it must have the highest
radio tower, the longest speedway and
the largest tennis hall in all Europe.

houses, important though these be, in.
stead Of doing everything possible for
goods production and exchange, with
out whose development our building
programs are useless, and even consti-
tute a heavy burden"
Herr Duisberg also denounced the
tendency Of the vereins and other
bodies to hold too many meetings.
with their inevitable attendant cele-
brations."
Calls Dawes Plan ShackIe.
Referring to the Dawes reparation
plan, he characterized it as Ger
many's heaviest shackle." He assert
ed that it's revision would prove in
evitable and warned the agent general
for reparation payments. S. Parker
Gilbert. that he must watch with the
same care over Germany's demand
that her exchange be not interfered
with and that her living standards not
sink below a certain level as over the
collection of the reparation annuities.
Germanys economic life, he stated.
is improving, as is shown by the fact
that unemployment within year has
been reduced from 100000 to $4,000.

BRIDE BY "PROXY"
BARRED FROM U. S
Young Spanish Woman Denied Ad
mission, While Ohio Husband
Plans Appeal.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September "a
young Spanish woman, who was
married by proxy" in order that she
might enter the United States as the
wife of an American citizen, was
turned back yesterday by immigra-
ton officials who refused to recognize
the marriage which Spanish custom
sanctions.
Max Muniz, an American citizen of
Martins Ferry, Ohio, was forced to
postpone the homecoming of Senorita
Flora Sariego, who has been his bride
by proxy" since June, 1925, when
Muniz's own father repeated the we'd
ding vows in the Province Of Oveido,
Spain. So the new home Muniz had
bought in Martins Ferry must wait
for it's mistress while he appeals the
case to the Secretary of Labor.
Soon after the proxy" wedding,
Muniz applied for admission of his
wife, but found that Spanish immi-
grafton quotas were filled. AS soon
as he became an American citizen
on April IA, 1927-he obtained mon
quota" visa for her, but a special
board of inquiry yesterday ruled
against his proxy, wedding.
