Berlin, Feb. IS. R-Reports that
Prince Louis Ferdinand, 19-year-
second son OF the former German
Crown Prince, will marry the mil
lionaire heiress Ursula Won Pam
WITT. Is, pretty daughter of Catarina
Won Pannwitz, whose late husband
made q fortune in South America,
continue to circulate with a persis-
tency which even denials by the
Prince and his family fail to down.
Frau Won Prannwitz and her only
daughter, though German citizens,
live in the villa de Hartecamp, not
far from the exile mansion of for
mef Emperor William II in Doom.
The former Kaiser and Princess
Hermine are frequent luncheon
guests at villa de Hartcamp, and
the Prince has accompanied his
grandparents several times. Par
cnts and grandparents, especially
Princess Hermine, are said to have
framed the match.
Ursula's father nearly sixty years
ago left Rostock. Germany, his
birthplace, a virtually penniless
youth to seek his fortune in Brazil.
He accumulated immense proper
ties and at the time Of his death
several years ago left an estate
conservatively estimated at 10000
900 marks, of which Ursula will be
the sole heir after her mothers
death. If the marriage come to
pass, 1t will be one OF the most
fortunate financial matches ever
made by scion Of the House Of
Hohenzollern.

FRESHMAN WEEK IS
BRINGING RESULTS
Fewer Students Being Dropped,
Following This System

Hartford, Feb. rs Pl-A de-
crease of nearly two-thirds in the
number of freshmen dropped from
college because of scholastic diff
culties has followed the institution
of freshman week and the abolition
of mid-year examinations at Trinity
college according to figures compil-
ed by Dean Edward L. Troxell.
The casualty list for the first
term of the present academic year
amounted to only five, as compared
with 10 for the correspond
ing period in 1926, IL in 1925 and
l6 in 1924.
The total of all students who have
left college. for all reasons this year
is given as 10, while year ago the
figure was So. Only 8 undergrad
yates are ION probation" as COM
pared with 10 freshmen alone a
yeG- ago.
A considerable portion Of this i'm
provement is considered due to the
practice instituted last fall OF call
ing together the members OF the
entering class, a week before the
arrival OF the older students, for
conferences with faculty members
and explanation of college life and
work.
At the same time the formal
threc-hour mld-year examinations
were abolished, and this also is Civ
on credit for much OF the improve
ment in scholastic standing shown
by the class OF 1890 over its prede-
cessors.

LEATHER CUSHION
SEATS IN TROLLEYS
San Francisco Company Seeks to
PopulariZe Cars

San Francisco, Feb. IS (UP)-
Make the street car more attrac-
tive" is the new business slogan of
Samuel Kahn, vice-president OF the
Market Street Railway company
here.
It's comfort the patrons want and
haven't had, Kahn believes, SO he
IS preparing to launch a $1,000, 900
scheme to lure business folk to use
trolley cars instead of automobiles
in going back and forth to work.
Kahn is going to put attractive
green leathercushioned seats on his
street cars, the same as is found in
latest sports model automobiles.
Furthermore, he's going to elimi-
nate the ungainly lengthwise seats
entirely. and in their place install
side seats of the tea for two" type.
Those side seats ought to bring
wholesale relief to passengers corns
and, too, it will stop embarrass-
to women passengers from moon
eyed males across the aisle" Kahn
says.
The cushioned seats cost money.
and the elimination of lengthwise
seats will decrease the capacity of
cars about Is per cent. That will
mean more cars, and more money
invested.
Approximately 100000 fares are
paid every day at present on $50
cars, and Kahn thinks he will get
enough extra traffic through his new
"Komfort Kars" to continue to
charge nickel fare and still make
a profit.

London. Feb. 2s. R-Americans

London, Feb. 26. R>-Americans
will find water pure and free on
every table in a new, fashionable
London restaurant-the kit-Cat,
successor to the Kit-Cat Club, which
was padlocked for selling liquor out
OF hours and Is to be re-opened as
a restaurant with the express pro-
vision by the licensing board that
there Is TO be no cocktail bar and
customers are to be afforded every
opportunity to drink water and may
have liquor only with food.
This restaurant. which is in the
basement of the Capitol Theater,
one Of Londons Piccadilly super
cinemas, was one of London's gay
est champagne night clubs until 1t
ran abeam the licensing authori-
ties, who landed several hundred
fashionable patrons in police court.
In fact, there were SO many nota-
bles in the club when it was raided
that the officers had to delay the
roundup until certain very ceIe-
brated persons were permitted to
escape. The London Temperance
Council and the Central Free
Church Council opposed the grant
ing OF liquor license to the restau-
rant, but the licensing justices
granted a 15-month permit to sell
liquor under strict regulations.

More Champagne

The worlds supply Of champagne
is increased, and exactly what wine
may claim the name is defined in
binding arbitral decision intended
TO settle a quarrel of quarter of
century among winegrowers.
The highest court last year de-
cided the question to the dissatis-
faction of both sides. Edouard
Barthe a deputy and wine expert,
has given the final decision with a
pledge from all concerned that it
will be accepted uncomplainingly
and written into French law.
Champagne now must be wine Of
that type, grown in the province Of
Champagne and some neighboring
vineyards long devoted to that
wine. and the wine must be fin
ished in that region to have legal
right to be called champagne.
Quite a large district excluded
from the champagne country by
the courts Is accorded the right to
produce this wine. Other districts
which had used the champagne
label are debarred from right to it

TO IMPROVE CHURCH MUSIC

A movement has been started to
raise the standard Of music in the
Church of England to a higher de-

Speaking on the subject recently.
Bishop West Watson said: Some OF
our hymns are weak and enervating.
and Jesus, Lover Of My Soul which
was popular with the English troops,
could be taken as an example. 1t
was found that the theme was al
most too personal to be sung about
in public" The bishop added that
the hymn sung to another tune had
a different force and meaning, and
that some other hymns had weak
words and worthy tunes.
