Lips and Eyes Tested
as Keys to Character

Oxford, England.-The theory that
lips and eyes are a key to vocation and
character, suggested by Professor Bett-
mann, the Heidelberg dermatologist,
was tested at a gathering at an Old
Students reunion at Oxford university.
Many men distinguished in different
walks Of life were chosen for the test.
1t was found that while there was
some link between certain features and
character, the theory appeared correct
only in the generalized sense, but there
was one exception. The legal profess
sion, it was found, had one predomi-
mating facial feature-the thin lip.
Professor Bettman maintains that
deep thinkers have the thinnest lips.

But He Sure Has Way With Women

Warsaw.-Leo Weidenberg, a tailor
by profession and a husband by avo-
cation, is front-page copy for the War
saw newspapers, and his genius de-
serves even wider attention. Although
he is sixty-one years old and the own
er both Of red beard and an ugly
face, he has been married eight times
and his offspring number 46.
When his eighth wife appeared be-
fore a magistrate recently in plea

sided in Warsaw as a tailors appren-
tice, known among his chums as RED"
because Of his flaming hair. He mar
rfed Rebecca Frol and during seven
years Of wedlock five children were

Then he disappeared. All search
for him was in vain and his wife and
children suffered great need. Weldon

HOOvER'S DEBT PLAN
GOES INTO EFFECT
Agreement on Moratorium
Is Reached With France.

Westinghouse Complete suspension
of all ntergovernmental debts growing
out of the World war was assured
when President Hoover announced
that his proposal for years mora
forum had been universally accepted
in principle.
The announcement came with the
complete recession of France from the
earlier position looking toward con.
tinued German payments in kind,
which amount to more than $20,000,-
600 year. Andrew w. Mellon, secre-
tary Of the treasury, Informed the
President by transatlantic telephone
that France had agreed to the Ameri-
can suggestion that the question of
deliveries in kind be referred to a
commission of experts bound by "the
spirit of the Presidents proposal"
This was the last outstanding point
of difference between Washington and
Paris which had held up the Hoover
plan. In effect, it means that the
allied nations will suspend German
reparations payments for the year
which began July / in return for
like postponement of their debts to
the United States.
The proposal presages new lease
of life for Germany, both economically
and politically, and the agreement
was hailed widely as development
likely to set the flow of world bust
ness in full tide toward renewed pros
perity. President Hoover himself
heralded the plan as one calculated
ito swing the minds of men "from fear
Il to confidence" and bring hope for
the future"
I AS a further step in the program
for the economic relief of the world,
the President took occasion in his
announcement to center world atten-
ton again upon the burdens of COM
Apetitive ornaments. With an eve to
/ the general disarmament conference
at Geneva in February, Mr.. Hoover
declared that 1--WE must have relief
from these fundamental burdens,
which today amount to several times
the amount of intergovernmenta
debts"
BY the Hoover plan Germany will
be relieved Of PREPARATIONS payments
to the former allied and associated
governments totaling nearly $400,000,-
600.
Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, and other debtors will be re-
lieved of war debt payments approx
mating $40O,000,OOO.
The greatest sacrifice will be made
by the United States. which will forego
war debt receipts totaling $260,000,-
900.
A renewed invitation to a confer
ence in London of the powers chiefly
concerned in the operation of the Hoo
yer moratorium plan was issued by
Prime Minister Macdonald of Great
Britain.
