URGES ELIMINATION
 OF MIDDLE DEALER
Boston Business Man Outlines
 Way for German Recovery

Berlin, Oct. 1 R-The doubling of the purchasing power of the Ger man masses by drastic elimination of the middle man and other ele- ments of costly distribution was suggested as a cure for Germany's business depression by Edward A. F'ilene, Boston capitalist, in an ad- dress yesterday before the American Chamber of Commerce.
 Observing that mo remedy is a real remedy which does not put the masses back to work" he predicted that increased purchasing sumulat- ed by such a plan as suggested soon would force increased production and employment thus would in crease also.
 MT. Filene pointed out that con" sumers the world over pay as high as six to eight times the cost of production for the necessities of life. He said that this already had been partly recognized in Germany by the formation of ''konsum vereine' and cooperative buying by relatively small number of retailers.
 The Boston merchants idea was that the government, in view of the critical situation. should force all distributors into similar organiza- tions. As he viewed it, mass buy ing and mass production, being less costly than unorganized buying and selling, would be certain to in crease purchasing power and thus in effect would raise wages.

.UNEARTH ROMAN
 CITY AT LAMbESE
Excavations in Algeria Show
 Ruins RiYalling Tim8ad

Algiers, Algeria, Oct. 1 LP)-An- other Roman city rivalling in im- portance and in beauty, Timgad, the African Pompeii discovered in 1875. is being uncovered in the depart ment of Constantine at Lambese, a short distance from Batna
 The ruins cover 133 acres and have forum which spreads out oyer 21,500 square feet. The Timgad ruins cover 99 acres. The Lambese city. founded by veterans of Angus tus' Third legion who were station ed in the region, contains two tri- umphal arches well preserved and two large necropolises with orna- mental monuments for the dead.
 The forum has been completely uncovered. There are but a dozen stones missing in the pavement. Numerous mosaics have been dug up as we'll as inscriptions with dedica- tions to various gods, emperors and benefactors of the city.
 Lambese was situated in the cen- ter of a fertile region when Augus- tus quartered his soldiers there, but since then the territory became marshy and natives avoided it. New life has come over the old place now that scientists are using their shovels there. Lambese is not dis tant from Timgad.

HELEN MAY : GIVE UP MICHAEL
::Rumanian Monarch Reported as : Willing to Leave Son

Y, Vienna, Oct P1Sorrowful but determined not to grovel at the feet : of the handsome King Carol, Queen Helen of Rumania was represented here today as intending to leave Rumania forever and to seek a place of exile elsewhere in Europe. /, A Rumanian politician arriving in Vienna from Bucharest said that after many tears Helen had decided to comply with Carols wishes and leave little Michael, their bright faced son, entirely to the care of his father
 Among the queens immediate entourage it was expected that she would soon go to Germany where she could take up permanent resi- dence near other members of the former Greek royal family them selves denied home in their na- tive land, now a republic.
 Wants Helen to Leave
 The Rumanian politician said that Carol recently had remarked in the pTeSSHCe Ol lIdlly ptISOllS that luc best Helen could do would be to leave Rumania of her own accord. The remark was repeated to the queen who, after a painful struggle with herself, made up her mind that she must abandon her dream of raising her much-loved son and leave the country.
 The Rumanian people have come to consider Queen Helen very affec- tionately, and have been touched with her sacrificing and digni- fled bearing, the politician said. He added that King Carol had been visibly exasperated at the thought he must forego an early coronation.
 It is Carol now. rather than Helen, who is insistent that the di- vorce Helen secured during his ab- sence in Paris remain valid, all though Helen has never been less determined than at first to accept no compromising status from him. All hope of reconciliation is said 70 have passed.

HOLMES ADVOCATES
 SCHOOL ON OAK ST.
Would Erect Building at Once to
 Relieve CroWding

Immediate construction of a erty owned by the city, a project that would give employment to many and would act as a relief to the Stanley and other schools in that locality, was proposed by School Supt. S. H. Holmes at meeting of the Stanley School Par ents and Teachers association last night.
 Supt. Holmes said a building could be constructed at the lowest possible cost at this time because of the prevailing business depres- sion and since the building will have to be constructed sooner or later little or nothing can be gained by delay. The building would be built through a bond issue, MT. Holmes said
 The uperintendent's proposal was the result of a request of one of the parents that an addition to the Stanley school be constructed to take care of increased enrolment and to eliminate the portable build ing that is now on the property.
 Supt. Holmes expressed tle opin- ion that the construction of the school buildfngton Oak street would relieve three school buildings of which the Stanley school was one. but the building of an addition would relieve only the Stanley school. He said he did not like port able schools but that the school au- thorities have done everything pos sible to make them comfortable when they are being used.
 Supt. Holmes said a similar con- dition exists at the Northend school only that building is about 50 years old and has not modern conveniences that the Stanley school children en- joy. Only these districts use portable buildings to take care of the over flow in school population, MT. Holmes said.
 During the earlier part of his talk, Mir. Holmes told of the fundamen- tals of modern education.

BY ROBERT H. BAKER Professor of Astronomy, University
 of Illinois,

b hOBEhl n. BAhEh Professor of Astronomy, University
 of Illinois,
 Urbana, III. H9 - The most dis tant object of all the celestial scen- cry that is visible to the naked eye is the great nebula in Andromeda.
 Whoever first noticed it establish ed a worlds record for far seeing that can never be broken with the eye alone. This remarkable nebula appears in the east in the evenings of October. It is easy to find.
 /Look first for the square of Peg asus in the eastern sky; its cor ners are marked by four bright stars. Suppose now that the square represents the bowl of a very large dipper and look toward the left for the handle.
 The dipper figure of seven bright stars is not usually included among the celestial dippers. The descrip- tion is given formally only to the Great Dipper and the Little Dipper in the north and to the inverted Milk Dipper in the southern sky. But it is creditable dipper of it's kind and directs the eye to the neb- ula.
 Look now at the second star in the handle of this dipper figure. Just above the bright star and near ly in line with it are two fainter stars. A little above the upper one and to the right there is a faintly luminous hay patch. This is the great nebula in Andromeda.
 The enormous distance of this object became known only five years ago when it was measured at the Mount Wilson observatory The distance is 900,oOO light years.
 To find it's equivalent in miles we must multiply 1S6,2S4 miles, the speed of light per second, by 31,- 500,O00, approximately the number of seconds in year, and then again by nearly a million. The result is not far from 6,oOo,o0o, 900, 900, ,OOO,- 900 miles.
 To the naked eye the Andromeda nebula is merely a dim glow. Phota- graphs with powerful telescopes show it as a flat spiral structure presented obliquely to us. It is the largest and brightest of the spiral nebulae.
 The spirals are huge aggregations of stars far more remote than the stars which form our cancellations and even far beyond the Milky Way.

RECKLESS DRIVER TARGET
 OF SAFETY FIRST ATTACK
Driven Wrecl, Also Gets Attention of Speakers at National Congress
 Meeting.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 1 P-Thc reck- less driver and the driven wreck" were the main targets of the Ma tional Safety congress and exposi- ton yesterday as safety experts sought ways and means of making traffic on the nations highways less dangerous.
 Uniform laws governing the peri oGic inspection of automobiles in all states were urged as the only prac- tical means of eliminating the auto mobiles that endanger lives beca use they are in such a worn condition that they cannot be controlled pro- perly.
 More strict enforcement of traffic rules and laws with greater uniform ity in states and cities was advo- cated as the best method of elim - mating the reckless driver.
 Eleven sections of the congress were in session, discussing safety in everything from the handling of tiny chisels used in carving furniture to the moving of tons of steel with giant cranes.

 Then somewhat anxiously, he asked: You don't happen to know. dc you. whether there's any salary attached? None? Heigh-ho, isn't that always the way?"

Undulant Fever.

The sudden recognition Of undulant
fever (also known as Malta fever, Medi-
terranean fever, Gibraltar fever, dust
fever) in widely scattered places in the
United States in the past year does not
mean that it Is q new disease here. 1t
simply means that doctors have only
lately learned to diagnose it, 1t has
been confused and still is confused with
typhoid fever, malaria, influenza and
tuberculosis Even now there is no de-
pendable, specific diagnostic test for this
disease comparable with the Vidal test
for typhoid, or the finding of the para
sites in the red corpuScles in malaria
The specific causatiye germ of undulant
fever is known, and the bacteriologiSts
are able to isolate it (Bruceila abortus)
from the blood of the patient in many
cases, but it seems there are some very
similar germs that are sometimes pres
ent, and though not of serious signifi-
canoe they complicate the test.
The illness in man is called undulant
fever because Of its characteristic
course, especially periods of days with
little or no fever, then another run of
fever, and this goes on three months in
most cases, or for a year or more in
others. Chills and sweats are common
in the earlier stages of the fever, and
this probably suggests Influenza" or
malaria" or tuberculosis" In seven
cases the principal complaint in the
beginning was joint pains, which led
to the suspicion of acute infectious
arthritis (rheumatic fever, inflamma-
tory rheumatism).
In more than a third of So cases in

Cretonne.

You can cover all manner of little
objects with cretonne. One thing to
make is a cretonne- covered bridge
score. Buy the bridge score pad and
cover an oblong of cardboard with Gre
tonne. Fasten the pad securely in place
and by its side attach little pencil
with a length of ribbon, also securely
fastened. That is all. Such pad is a
really charming and a very appropri-
ate prize at small card party or,
rather, at a card party where small
prizes are desired.
Then there are holders for table
linen. Make them Of cardboard, disks
of various sizes to match the different
sizes Of doilies and centerpieceS you
have. Cover each disk with two pieces
of cretonne, overhanded down around
the edge, or else cover one side of each
disk, basting the cretonne over the
edges, and then overland two OF the
disks together. Match twd9eRf the fin
ished pieces together and MAKE an elias
tic garter, covered with ribbon, to snap
over them. The doilies, of course, lie
fiat inside.
Very attractive sofa cushions may be
made with cretonne. A square, with
the points turned in and sewed to-
gether. makes the simplest sort. And II
you can get a, couple, of small matching
remnants you can give new charac-
ter to a bed room with plain white
curtains by making cushions and lamp
shades and bags all Of the one Gre

Today in
Washington History

March IL, 1S11.-washington Irving
of New York, the rising young American
author, well known for his "Knicker-
bocker's History of New York" pub
lished two years ago, has been visiting in
this city recently and has remained over
since the adjournment of Congress
earlier this month.
Mr.. Irving has been setting down
his impressions of the Federal City and
has frequently written to friends about
what he has found here. In letter
today he says:
You cannot imagine how forlorn this
desert city appears to me, now that the
great tide of casual population has
rolled away"
1t is believed, however, that the con-
dition of which Mr.. Irving complains
will soon disappear. Most members of
Congress now come to Washington
ing houses. AS soon as Congress finishes
it's work each year they hurry back
to their homes. But there are indica-
tons that members of Congress will
soon cease to live in their boarding
house cells. Next Fall, it is expected,
many Senators and Representatives will
bring their families here and there will
be social life in abundance.
Those who have faith in the future
deVelopmenC or the Federal City pic
ture the time as not far distant when
the social attractions of Washington
City will insure a goodly number of
interesting people here all the year
round, regardless of whether Congress
is in session or not.
II may compare this place" wrote
Washington Irving recently, with a
huge library, where a man may turn
to any department of knowledge he
pleases and find an author at hand into
which he may dip until his curiosity
is satisfied"
Mr.. Irving says he has found here
"the most complete medley of characters
have ever mingled amongst" His
social engagements in one week COM
prised dinner with the officers mess
at the barracks and in the evening
a ball at Mr.. Van Ness; dinner with
Gen. Turreau and, in the evening, Pres
ident Madison'S levee, which was bril-
liant and crowded with interesting men
and fine women; a dinner at Mr..
Latrobes. dinner with the Secretary
of the Navy, Paul Hamilton, who &C.
cupies Mr.. Tayloe's house, and in the
evening a ball at Mayor Brent's res
idence.

HOLLYWOOD, March IL (N.A.N.A).
Monday morning all Hollywood was
divided into three parts-those who
spent the week end at Aqua Caliente,
those who won at the races at Aqua
Caliente, those who did not win at the
races at Aqua Caliente.
The village empties itself from Friday
to Monday morn. and luncheon hour OF
Mondays is given over to post-mortem.
But during the week end the Jockey
club across the border furnishes
glimpse of gaiety reminiscent OF the
Continent. Here the million-dollar
beauties of movieland sip their drinks
under the orange-striped pavilions. The
oval of greensward in the middle OF the
track blooms in two great golden horse
shoes of California peoples.

What queer kink in the movie mind
casts certain actors in types so anti
pathetic to their personalities and to
the type of work they do best? This
method has thrust Basil Rathbone into
a detective role He played the roman
tic type with greatest success on the
stage. And this method is now bringing
the Gallo charm of Chevalier to play
the somewhat dull role of young Brew
ster in "Brewster's Millions" trite
and outworn vehicle of the last decade
It has made its round of the stock
houses. It has neither lines nor nov
city. And the French actor Is so typi-
cally of his land that he cannot be
convincing In this sort of thing.
