differences which had caused annul-
ment proceedings by the former light
heavyweight champion, apparently

That's nobody's business" was
Paul's answer as to their destina-
ton, but it is understood they
headed south, perhaps as far south
as Havana.
Berlenbach last week served papers
in an annulment action charging that
Mrs. Berlenbach, the former Rose
Anne Riley of Los Angeles, had not
waited the legal span Of time be-
tween the signing of the divorce de-
cree from her first husband, and
their marriage. Mrs. Berlenbach
countered with the statement that
she had, and IL she hadn't Paul knew
all about it since he had furnished
he money for her divorce-hunting
trip to Mexico. She said Paul's par
ents were responsible for the breach
and didn' like her because she re-
fused to learn TO speak German.
Attorneys for the two made the
announcement Of the reconciliation
after B~erlenbach had phoned hem
that he and his wife had met over
the weekend and decided to quit
the legal ring and hang up their
gloves.

lkESEMANN
.FLAYSFRANCE
s peech In Reichstag
Draws Replies of
Newspapers

BERLIN. Jan. 3l.-F-The speech
Of Foreign Minister Stresemann in
the reichstsg yesterday has drawn
comment from papers Of all shades
OF opinion.
DIR. Stresemann's remark that there
would be no satisfactory adjustment
Of political relations between France
and Germany while the Rhineiand
was occupied found sweeping support
in all papers although varying con-
illusions were drawn from it.
The diehards see in the severity Of
the statements launched at France
a confession that the dreams Of Lo-
carno are beginning to fade and Ger
many's foreign policy has been IN
satisfactory.
The papers Of the right regret
that DIR. Stresemann failed to inti-
mate the means Germany would
adopt in event France continues to
repudiate Loearno. Curiosity IS ex-
pressed how BRAND in today's senate
speech will reply TO Stresemann.
PARIS, Jan. 31.-tP,-The French
press was divided along party lines
today on the speech OF Foreign Min
lister StTesemann of Germany. In the
speech delivered in the reiehstag yes
ter6ay, Dr.. Stresemann said political
relations between France and Ger
many coald not be satisfactorily ad-
j1sted so long as the Rhineland re-
manned occupied and that the cry Tor
security heard i'm certain French
circles was "a piece Of hypocrisy"
Pertinax, writing in the National
ist Echo de Paris, says the speech
marks the end Of a period OF eircum-
spect behavior which Stresemann was
wise enough to impose on German
policy since December, 1926. The
writer continues: "He thinks the
time has now come 70 gather the
fruits Of that patient temporization
and profit by the sentiment Of conf
dence with which many are imbued
IN Paris and London"
The radical L'0euvre proclaims
Stresemann az incontestably a real
statesman and his speech n OF
great moderation and skill.

HURRICANE OBEYS NO LAW.

Tropical hurricanes. according to the best scientific information available in the United States Department of Agriculture do not run according to rule in cycles. Charles L. Nit chell, Meteorologst of the Weather Bureau, who has made study of all the available facts in regard to hurricanes along the coasts of the South Atlantic and Gulf States for the last 50 years, says: No rule law of regular recurrence of periods of maximum or minimum frequency has been established It is doubtful if such pe- riodicity exists. Wherefore prediction be made to the number of hurricanes that will occur in given year or period of years, nor to the States that will be affected by them. A comparison with records of earlier years shows that during the last 10 years the East Coast of Florida has experienced unusually large number of severe hurricanes. Hence. it may be assumed that future decades will rarely show high frequency of hurricanes there as has the last one.'
 One reliable fact in regard to hurricanes is ihef limited season. Of all on record, no one has occurred earlier in the year than June or later than october. No tropical cyclone of hur- ricane intensity, says MT. Mitchell, has ever, so far is known reached the Gulf or the south Atlantic Coast in any of the other seven months of the year.
 Damage to buildings by hurricanes can be mnimized by stronger construction, the experts at the Weather Bureau believe Aside from dam age from high tides in low coastal sections and along large and shallow lakes, they say, damage by hurricane winds to buildings can be minimzed if the walls and framework of the buildings are sufficiently strong to withstand the wind pressure when the wind attains a velocity of from 1OC to 125 miles an hour Few well-eonstrueted buildings collapse and either kill or endanger the lives of the occupants, except possibly in the greatest of hurricanes.
