HERRICK PAID
CREATTRIBUTE
Notable Gathering Hears
Pershing And Poincare
Praise Ambassador

PARIS, April 4-tP-The people
OF France today poured out un-
bounded tribute to the memory of
Myron T. Herrick, beloved American
ambassador who so greatly endeared
himself to the hearts Of all French
men In the World war.
No more notable gathering ever
paid respects to the memory of a
foreigner In the French capital.
With the exceptions of Marshal
Joffree and Lyautey, too aged to *
pose themselves to fatigue, all the
leaders of the French army were
Ire as Petain, Franchet D'ESperey.
Gouraud, Dubail and Lasson. Mem
bers of the government were there
in full, headed by Premier Polncare
and Foreign Minister BRAND.
Gen. John j. Pershing was the
first to say goodbye to the Ambassa-
dor in a touching manner. The gen.
eral painted Ambassador Herrick so
faithfully, that many eyes were wet
as his voice vibrated with unmis-
taxable signs or his own emotions.
Premier Poinare, who spoke last,
surpassed himself. In the presence
of the body Of the American ambas-
sador who had had conversations
of the greatest consequences with
him in 1914 and whom he had al
ways recognized as one of the best
friends of France, the premier's
voice lost the sharp and sometimes
rasping accents usual to him in
political speeches.
j. P. Morgan. unable to attend
ceremonies at the embassy, was
present at the church service. He
entered alone and took. the place re-
served for him. but left with the
other pallbearers.
Dean Beekman read the usual
Episcopal service for the dead in
the presence. of as many people
as could crowd into the church.
Then all was over but the honors
still to be paid to the ambassadors
body at Brest. where the swift
cruiser Tourville waited to carry it
across the waters to the United
States.

ial photographs, which will form

pleted three weeks ago by the
Southwest Aerial Surveys of Aus
tin, Colonel Birdseye pronouncing

B. Miller and Robert Coltharp,
Austin pilot and photographer, who

STOP H fat
AND GET Thin

The way to reduction is TO stop the
formation of fat. Modern science has
found that way-by turning your food
into fuel and energy-by supplying a
natural element that helps do that. 1t is
much better than starvation. That mod
ern. scientific method is embodied in
Marmola prescription tablets. People
have used them for 20 years-millions
of boxes of them. Now the results in
slender figures, new beauty and vitality,
are seen everywhere.
Each box of Marmola contains the
formula, also the scientific reasons for
results. So you know the effects are
beneficial, and why they all occur. Learn
what so many have learned in 20 years
about it. Do it now. Ask your drug
gist for a 81 box of Marmoia and learn
what it means to you.

SOCIAL WARAT
CAPITAL RACES
Curtis Insists Sister Be
Ranked Above Wives of
Ambassadors

WASHINGTON, April 4.-(P-
The official contingent of Wash
ington society turned its formally
polite, but determinedly question:
ing, eyes today upon its final arbi-
ter, Secretary Stimson. The IN
official contingent, having nothing
at stake, turned curious but pos
sibly partisan eyes in his direction.
For the capital is in the throeS
Of a social war such as it has not
experienced in years, delicate ques-
tons of precedence and rank must
be settled, and, because they have
to do with international usages, the
secretary Of state is the official who
must settle them.
The situation centers around the
ruling by Secretary Kellogg just
before he turned over the office to
Mr.. Stimson last week that Mrs.
Everett Gam, sister and official
hostess of Vice-President Curtis,
ranked below the wives of foreign
diplomats in the seating of guests
at official dinners. Feeling strong
ly that his sister has not been given
full recognition, Mr. Curtis has put
the problem up to the new Secre-
tary with a vigorous protest.
The vice presidents wife died
five years ago. Had she lived, his
elevation to the vice presidency
would have entitled her to rank
above the wives of diplomats at
official dinners, and he had ex-
pected his sister. with whom he
has lived since the death of Mrs.
Curtis, to be accorded the same
privilege.
The only word from Mr.. Slim
sons office thus far is he is study
ing the vice presidents request.

CIGARETTE OUTPUT
GROWING STEADILY
Production of 40 Billions
Is Predicted for Present
Year.
BY ]. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February l9.-Cigarette
business is in sight. 1t is growing stead
lily and constantly. 1t simply is ques-
ton of which among the leading COM
petitors will capture it, 1t seems now
that nearly all of them are doing suffl-
GENTLY well to get fair share.
Unless there is a marked decline in
the next few months production for the
year will probably exceed 10000, 000,-
900 cigarettes Export business is bet
ter and new factories which were opened
in 1928 are now stepping-up output to-
ward capacity.
Profit margins are narrow, but they
are wide enough to show very excellent
profits in the case of the leaders. Prices
now seem likely to be unchanged, at
least for a time. The price was cut
from $6.40 to Sc a thousand wholesale
by the manufacturers a little less than
a year ago. Sales volume advanced in
consequence, but no further reduction
is anticipated.
Advertising by the leaders is more
active than ever and more effective,
since the major portion of the activity
Is concentrated in newspaper advertis-
ing. 1t Is also making a special appeal

cessful one. The day has gone by when
jokes could be cracked about the quality
of cigars and cigarettes bought bS
women for men. Many women know
fully as much as men about brands,
leaf blending and crop excellence, even
in the case of cigars, although they do
not smoke them. Increased number of
women who smoke cigarettes, however,
Is distinct factor in the trade.
The gain in cigarette smoking has
been even greater in England than in
the United States. This has strength
ened the position Of the chief manufac-
turer in the British field and has en-
phaSized the threat that it was pre-
pared to compete for American trade In
American markets. Signs of that COM
petition already are becoming apparent.
The difficulty of breaking into the
highly competitive field, however. is ire
mendous, and the domestic manufac-
turers profess no anxiety.
The distinct improvement in the
cigar trade shown in the last three
months of 1928 has been continued this
year and the outlook is fairly bright.

ADVANCE In WHEAT
VALUES CONTINUES
Market Resumes Upward Trend
in Early Trading
Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 19.-Wheat
scored an early fresh advance today,
influenced by persistent cold weather
West and Southwest, causing further
anxiety about likelihood of crop dam
age. Offerings of wheat were relative
ly scarce except on bulges in price.
Opening &c. to 3sc higher, the wheat
market afterWard showed decided fur
ther gains. Corn averaged lower, starting
at l4c off to &c up, and subsequently
undergoing something of sag all
around. OTIS were firm. Provisions held
about steady.
Adding TO the bullish effect today Of
continued low temperatures threatening
injury to domestic Winter wheat, Liver
pool adviceS were at hand that India
was still buyer of wheat, and that
Argentine wheat arriving in Europe was
being held at higher quotations. There
were reports, too, that fears of crop
damage In many European countries as
well as India were yet a factor and
that although needed rains have fallen
in Australia more moisture there is
generally required.
Corn was bearishly affected during
good deal of the time today by
spread" transactions between corn
and oats, with corn being sold against
simultaneous purchases of oats. Re-
ceivers, however, said indications were
pointing to sharp falling off in the
movement of corn to primary terminal
markets. There were also reports of
an expected larger demand for corn
to be shipped to Northern European
countries where stocks are diminishing.
