And talking of tin trumpets and sax

much so that a national committee has
been formed for its development.
M. Poincare is the patron, the Presi-

M. Paul Painleve and M Jovelet, who is

to keep the French people informed of
musical developments abroad,

Requirements for Marriage.
Under a law passed in 1928 persons
contemplating marriage had to produce
their baptismal or birth certificates and
witnesses whom they had known for
several years who would swear that the
contracting parties were not married
to some one else.
Since it was difficult for many for
eigners to meet these requirements
when far from home and old friends,
they went to Hongkong, Shanghai or
Japan to be married. They also spent
their honeymoons in those places, with
the result that the Philippines lost
money. The new law lifts these restric-
tons.

GERMANY PUZZLED
BY EXCESS OF RYE
Agriculture Is Faced With
Problem of Disposing of
Half of Crop.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 5.-Of the many prob
lens confronting German agriculture
this year, the most serious is that of
diSposing Of Its excess rye crop Of nearly
100000 metric tons. This Is nearly
one-half of the crop.
Agricultural experts have figured out
that Germany's annual consumption of
rye is only about 100000 metric tons
What to do with the other half is
a problem that is causing farmers worry
and has started governmental agencies
on hunt for means of possible rene
dial action.
Rye Exports Small.
Exports of rye have been singularly
small. In 1928, for instance, Germany
was able to export only 488,000 metric
tons, about 5 per cent of the crop. Pros
poets for this year show no improve
ment. despite the fact that an exporter
is allowed a drawback" of 81 cents on
every bushel of export rye. This refund
is applicable on imports of wheat or
barley.
For instance, when rye for domestic
consumption brings 81 bushel, the ex-
port price is SO cents. This low quo
tation was reached in 1929 and for a
short period stimulated rye exports. 1t
even placed German rye on competing
