Predicts Planet Trips

BIZ NEA Serrice
PRAGUE, Sept. 19-Interplanet-
airy flights are assured within
hundred years. is the belief of Pro-
fessor V. V. Stratonoff, well-known
Russian astronomer.
A crowded population on the
earth will force such flights. the
professor believes. Other planets
will have to be reached to accom-
modate the growing population of
our planet. This necessity will cause
interplanetary flights to become as
common as ordinary flights are to-
day.
The professor also points out that
the development Of interplanetary
flights now is in the same stage that
aviation was thirty-f1ve years ago
and that it will proceed nearly as
rapidly as aviation.
The only difficulty in such flights
will be in the human body adjusting
itself to different conditions on 9TH
err planets. But the professor be-
lieves that this will be brought about
readily by scientific protection and
experiments.

NEW YORK, December 27.-Frances
Keenan, Peaches Browning, 10, start
ed court action today for an absolute
divorce from Edward w. Daddy"
Browning, SIS, wealthy real estate oper-
ator, whose six months Of married life
with her was the subject of a Sensa-
tional separation suit early in 1927.
Notice on the suit for divorce was
served on Browning today. AS pre-
liminary action yesterday Mrs. Brown
ing's attorneys obtained court order
appointing her mother, Mrs. Carolyn
Heenan, as her guardian.
The attorneys said she would ask
$4,000 year in alimony and $4,000
attorneys fees. The suit is expected
to be filed next week.
Money Desire Blamed.
1.-THE answer to the whole case is
money, money, easy money" said
Browning in a formal statement sent
to the press with photographs. He
capitalized the last four words.
Mrs. Browning bases her complaint
against her estranged husband on al
legged inf1delity. Her attorneys said she
was ready to name three women.

for legal separation from his young
wife she lost temporary alimony of
$500 a week. Later, however, she sued
for and won dover rights in his prop

Browning's marriage to Frances
Keenan, on March 10, 1925, when she
was Is years old and he 81, attracted
wide attention because of his previous

repudiated. The Spas girl brought suit

Representatives of a dozen of the

panies called into conference here by
E. B. Reeser, president of the Ameri-

their meeting today without having
agreed upon a definite program of
relief.
A committee was formed to carry on
the task of seeking to apportion the

rels daily, among the principal purchas-
ers of midcontinent production. This
body, made up of one representative
from each of the companies taking part
in the conference, held a preliminary
session and adjourned until Monday.
r. M. Young, president of the Carter
Oil Co., was named chairman.
Still Hopes for Agreement.
Following the session, Reeser said diff
ficulties were being experienced in at
tempting to reach a solution agreeable
to all of the companies represented, but
he still was hopeful satisfactory plan
would be developed.
Reeser telegraphed detailed report
of the conference to Secretary Wilbur

ference was held behind closed doors

do their parts with thoroughness
and give the plot as much impetus
as it is capable of. One must admit,
however. that the real stars are cor
related to Mother Nature-her Gu
mulous and otherwise clouds giving

Due to the Introduction of the

hopelessly synthetic. Mr.. Hughes

what it should be-the result being
kind of rapid-fire series of scenes
which lack climactic brevity or av-
