VERNON
LINE SUSPENDS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March L.
The last car to run over the Mt.
Vernon division of the Alexandria,
Mt. Vernon and Washington street
car line left Royal Street last
night at 1880. The line will be
junked by the purchaser imme-
diately, so that part of the right
of way which will be used by the
Mt. Vernon Boulevard can be
cleared before the Government is
ready to start construction.
r. l.. May this morning began
a bus service which will have
nearly the same schedule and in
addition will run a line down the
River Road to Hunters Station
near Fort Hunt.
May, who is negotiating for the
purchase of the street car line
between here and Washington,
said he expects to be able to
close the deal within the next
10 days.
Civic organizations and the city
council are backing the merger
of the street car line with the
A. B. & w. Bus Company, which
is operated by May.

Union of Republicans
Failure, Tardieu Says,
Trying for New Cabinet

PARIS, March / QN.S0 Pre-
mier-Designate Andre Tardieu's
attempt to conciliate party differ
ences and form a cabinet based
on broad coalition as union
of republicans" has ended in fail
ure, but he is continuing his ef-
forts in the hope of succeeding
despite all difficulties.
Tardieu admitted his failure to
form a broader coalition in a
statement to International News
Service. He said:
II propose a 'Stop-gap govern.
ment,' including Ex-Premier Her,
riot as vice-president of the coun.
Gil, Ex-Premier Chautemps and
three other ministers from the
radical Socialists.
II also proposed that the Capi.
net thus formed should resign as
soon as the London naval con
ference, the Geneva League Of
Nations sessions and the SaaI
Valley negotiations with Germany
were finished and the budget had
been passed.
They refused, however, and
am therefore continuing with
out them"
He added:
Il hope to announce my cabi
net on Sunday"

NEW CALENDAR
CRITICISED

TAKOMA PARK, Md, March l.
The new calendar scheme and eff
forts to force Sunday observance
laws on the country are the two
great issues now pending before
Congress, c. S. Longacre, general
secretary of the General Confer
ence of Seventh Day Adventists,
declared today in speaking at Re
ligious Liberty Day" exercises in
the Adven is ts' headquarters
church, here.
Today has been set aside as re-
llgious liberty day in all Seventh
Day Adventist churches of North
America, and special exercises
are being held throughout the
country.
Asserting that the two pro-
posals threaten the overthrow of
our heritage of freedom" Long
acre said I'VE are facing an imnri-
nent crisis in the calendar reso-
luton, as the proponents of the
new calendar are going to do
everything possible to get early
action on the part of Congress so
their plan may become effective
by 1888"
Although referring to the cal
endar scheme as new, Longacre
said that the so-called Cotsworth
or blank day" plan under which
the first day of each year and
month would fall on Sunday, is
nearly 100 years old. It origi-
mated, he said, with a Roman
abbot in the Vatican in 1888"
The then reigning pope, Long.
acre declared, had approved the
plan, as had a succeeding pontiff
I'VE have abundant evidence, /"
Longacre said. that the public
do not understand what is 'in-
volved in this calendar issue.
Some of the leaders of the or
ganizationS who gave their ap-
proval of the blank-day calendar
to the national calendar commit
tee have since informed us that
they did not understand that the
days of the week were to be
jumbled up each year, and the
fixed religious days shifted to
different days in the weekly
cycle.
Since they have made this dis
covery, they desire to change
their approval to diSapproval of
the blank-da plan.
I'VE feel that we have but one
course of action, and that is to
oppose the calling of an inter
national conference at this time
and institute vigorous campaign
Of education and public enlighten-
ment."

UNITED STATES NEVER To OBU|LD
QUOTA OF 10,OOO-TON CRUISERS

LONDON, March / G.N.S0-
It can now be stated with practi.
cal certainty that the United
States Navy is likely never to
have the full 18 10,00O-ton cruisers
enviSaged in the tentative Anglo
American agreement for naval
parity.
1t also can be revealed that The
clause in the American memoran-
dun, published at the conference
here early in February, providing
the option for the United States
and Great Britain to duplicate
each others cruiser fleet, was
not designed as a sop to the
British admiralty, but was de-
signed to provide a loophole for
he American naval experts to
shange their minds.
Minds Are Changing
This mind-changing related to
the value and efficiency of these
maximum size Washington cruis-
ers," leaving a loophole for the
American experts to agree TO
limit this type of vessel to Is
before the whole 18 were Quilt.
The mind-changing is now going
on.
During the last week it is under.
stood the Americans and British
resumed their discussions of bat.
tleShips. The project for super.
Rodney dreadnaught for the
United States has been practically
abandoned, the Americans having
suggested other means of achiev-
ing real parity of the Anglo,
!. American fleets.
b An alternative probably will be
an amendment to the Washing.
ton treaty permitting the United
States to modernize some of her
present battleships.
Early Figures Cut
At the abortive Geneva nava
conference in 1927 the American
naval experts insisted upon tht
right to utilize the entire cruiser

Widows Not Happers
Among Papuans

There is no chance of a widow
getting away with flapper tactics
in Paqua, New Guinea, as a
quaint custom of the land, that
of parading around with the de-
parted spouses' thighbones hung
around the waist, is the way the
grief-stricken females mourn for
their husbands.
In addition to the custom of
the woman saving souvenirs of
the departed to remind them of
their grief. according to DR.. E.
w. Brandes, of the National Geo.
graphic Society, just returned
from that country, the men have
playful habit of saving the
jawbones of their enemies.
Another custom, DR.. Brandes
The Washington times., 1930-03-01

said, is that of a victor in battle
being given the privilege of biting
off the nose of his adversary if
he captures. him alive.
Marriages are few and far be
tween in Papua and Peggy Joyces
are rare, as too much matrimony
would mean the widow would
have to hire a truck to haul
around the thighboneS of her
dear departed.
DR.. Brandes said that when he
and his party arrived in Papua
they were hailed as gods as the
natives had never seen white men
or an airplane. Their food, he
added, consists mainly of snakes
lizards and worms and an oc
caSional baked enemy.
