Highlights ON the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

7 MPARC1AL, Montevideo. - Much
foolish talk is heard from time to
time about the establishment of a
A republic in Spain. It is very doubt
.ful whether such an event can &C.
cur in the lifetime OF any person now
existing. The traditions of the Spanish
monarch are too deep-rooted and too
wcll beloved by the majority Of the peo-
pie. The Vaccinations and clamors of
a progressive minority are certainly not
st present sufficient to affect them. In
addition to this ancient love of the
kingdom, King Alfonso is personally
popular and has won the support of
many who at first were not his adj
herents.'
If Spain were to become a republic,
as so many other European nations
have done, it would only result that he
would stin head the government. He
would be the sole executive in regard
to whom there could be any political
unanir1ity. The. various parties, with
their respective candidates, would be
unable to agree upon any other leader.
The King, too, has been progressive
enough to satisfy all the champions
Of rilodernity Though descended from
the old regime he has constantly looked
into the future, rather than into the
past, and has eXerted every effort to
make Spain the peer Of her sister ma
tions.

Journalists Session Ends
In Utmost Harmony.

Berliner Tageblatt. - The Interna-
tional Federation of Journalists has
brought its sessions to a close with
feelings of the utmost harmony and
after passing important resolutions to
cooperate in elevating the standards of
daily papers in all countries. The con-
gress was held in the Haus der
Dsutschen Presse and, besides the del
egates from all German papers, was at
tended by 70 foreign journalists from
25 different countries.
This is the second international con-
ference, ard was presided over by Prof.
Georg Bernhard. who welcomed all the
visitors in behalf OF the newspapers OF
Berlin.
M. Georges Bourbon addressed the
assembly as the spokesman of French
and particularly Partisan newspapers,
and told how 1t was the constant en-
deavor of those enterprises to, present
news succinctly and without sensa-
tionalisIn which, while it attracts
morbid readers, alienatss those whose
support and Endorsement of the period
ical is most valuable.
There was considerable discussion as
to whether the great combinations CT
papers, such as are now operating in
England and the United States, are 4
benefit or detrlment. The defects Of
such movement are crystalliZing OF
opinion and limiting Of initiative, but,
on the other hand, It cannot be alleged
that the union Of many independent
sheets into a national. network has re-
duced the opportunities for journalistic
work.

NEW YORK, Feb 25.-Picklng the winner of the fifty-sixth re- newal of the Kentucky derby may be just guess work, but the winter book-makers are wagering tn a Harry Payne Whitney's Whichone will be leading when the field of three-year -olds come laundering
 down lChurchill Downs historic stretch on May IT.
 Whichone, the ruling two-year- old of 1929, with money winnings i in excess of $135,ooO, is being quot ed at odds of 4 to 1. The racing circles, however, have it that the master of the Eton blue and brown topped silks will not start the bril- liant son of Chicle in the blue grass state classic, reserving him for the richer stakes later in the season. If any of the Whitney stars face the barrier on that May Saturday down in Kentucky. the sensational Boojum is the logical selection.
 Winner of the rich Hopeful at Saratoga and the flashiest juvenile seen on the turf last year, Boojun has been made the second choice at 10 to 1. The bookmakers also are quoting the same odds on Will liam Woodwards Belair studs Gal- lant Fox, consistent two-year-o stake winner. Both Boojum and Gallant Fox exhibited their best form last year as sprinters, the Whitney colt displaying a tendency

CURIO HUNTERS IMPERIh
 VALUABLE INDIAN RELICS

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 25.-
 Priceless records of former human life are being destroyed lat a rate incredible to those not in touch with the situation,' says Dr. Carl lE. Guthe, Director of the Museum |of Anthropology, University of Michigan.
 These records are Indian relics which Dr. Guthe says become all most valueless to tell the story of tribes, nations and customs now extinct, unless they are studied in the original mounds where un- |earthed.
 He lays the destruction both to
 curio hunters and to amateur archeologistS.
 He suggests that vandalism may be checked by correcting an er- roneous impression that archeo- logical objects have an intrinsic financial value.

WOMEN WORKERS
 ARE INCREASING
 IN AUTO INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. = The growing number of women working alongside men is shown in a study of the automotive industry com pleted by the department of labor. Out of 18 representative occupa- tions in the industry, which in- cludes both manufacture of motor vehicles, bodies and parts, women were employed in all except three. They were barred from the ma chinists' and tool and die makers trades, and the heavy task of auto mobile assemblers.
 The department study shows the average weekly wages of men were $3735 in 1928, while for the same year women were paid $24.50. The average wage for men and women was $3705.
 In eight principal automotive states the number of women em- ployes increased from 1879 in 1922 to ABA in 1928.

 robust boy who cost the Phillies ] $750 one season and then proceed
 ed the next season to hit like he
 first year up from the Three~I
 had cost $75,000. Chuck, in his league, lead the National League in home runs
 Perhaps one reason the Phillies predict great things for Sigman is that he comes from the territory made famous by Chuck the clouter. Sigman is a product of the Cen tral league, a circuit adjoining the Three-I league
 Sigman, who is 26, hit fl home runs for the Canton, O., club in 1929 and then came up to Phila- delphia to finish the season. T.
 was what he did in the ten con- cluding games that put his name in public prints in bold face type. In the ten games Tripp helped himself to 15 safe hits, including two home runs, for an average of SIT. Opposing pitchers had little Itime to find what Tripp couldn't hit. It seems, though, that he has no serious weakness. There lis every indication, in fact, that he is natural slugger.
 Here is how Cullen Cain, the Ma tional league observer. describes Ithe latest corn belt find:

Before closing the statement of financial affairs, it may be noted that Lou Little, Columbias new head football coach, becomes. one of the highest, if not actually the highest paid gridiron mentor in the country. It is understood Little has an agreement calling for an average wage of $20,000 for three years, apportioned at $18,000 for 1880; $2O,O00 for 1881 and $22,OOo for 1882.
 The Carnegie report, covering over 100 colleges and universities, revealed $14,OOo as the highest sal ary paid any head coach.
 The baseball customers, made en- thusiastic by Ruth, yelled for home runs and got them-so much so that in the last few years there has been a reaction and much agitation against continuation of the ClUuIlll5. <1o c SOuhUSA AAAO'S resin bags were given to the pitch CTS. Special screen were erected last season in some parks to reduce short range targets. The National League has instructed the makers to remove the shine from the ball so that it will soil easier and be harder to hit.
 Professional hockey, in a shorter time. has had a similar experience. To meet the cry for more goals, rules were radically changed to aid the offense this season. The con- sequent scoring rampage resulted in National League sextets doubl- ing the output of goals. Now the tendency is to seek happy med ium while still furnishing enough excitement to keep up the interest of the customers.
 So far as the rules are concerned, one set seems as good as another 10 the Boston Bruins, who won the worlds championship last winter and have spread-eagled the field this season with record-breaking case.

There was a time when star pitchers drew the biggest pay checks. They still collect enough to keep the wolves away but Ruth, Hornsby, Gehrig and Wilson now are the highest paid players, to evidence the power of the home run in the front office as well as the ball park.

Whether Babe Ruth collects $75,- GOO CT $85,0 ,000 for his pursuit of the baseball arts in 1880, the pay roll of the New York Yankees still will be the heaviest in the major leagues.
 Even with a little pruning here and there, such as the release of Feb Meusers $1s,O0O contract, the Yankee salary list runs up to around $3O0OOo for the season.
 Those who pry into these finan- Cubs have a payroll aggregate in cial matters figure the Chicago excess of $250,OOO with Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson as the top men, at $4o,0Oo and $25,0OO re- spectively. Hornsby is the high est paid National League player.

PLANS DIVING TUBE
 FOR, OCEAN WORK
German to Build Apparatus for
 Deep Sea Study

New York, Oct. R-Plans for construction of a diving apparatus capable of descending to a depth of G,500 feet and cruising about at that level for a period of eight days were described here today by Dr. Rudolf Engelmann, of Berlin, who said he had been working on the idea since 1928.
 He said negotiations for cunstruc- tion of the machine are under way with several American firms and he expects to have it ready for demonstration purposes within two or three months.
 Engelmann described his proposed apparatus as cylindrical, 12 feet high, 51 inches in diameter and weighing $500 pounds. It will be constructed of steel an inch and three quarters thick, and equipped with a radio receiving and sending set, navigation instruments and a powerful lamp to illuminate the ocean depths through window.
 He said the cylinder is so design ed as to float while on the surface while descent would be b va tank which could be filled and emptied of water at will. He said the appa- ratus would be especially valuable for the taking of moving pictures and the making of observations in the ocean depths.
