SINAIA, Rumania, July 25.-FIurries
Of snow and rain today provided an
unusual Summer background for the
colorful last-minute preparations for
the wedding Of Princess Ileana and
Archduke Anton Of Austria, which Is to
take place here tomorrow.
The snow and rain fell largely I'M
needed, however, by the throngs of
visitors. Sinaia was alive with excite
ment. Flags few from every window
and thousands of peasants, respondent
in national costumes, watched the pre-
liminary arrangements.
The only complaints against the
weather came from the numerous news
and film photographers. Special ar
rangements for them were Cancelled at
the last moment, but Archduke Anton
smilingly promised, however, he and
his bride would pose for them tomor-
row to their hearts content.
Gives Princess Blessing.
The visit here yesterday Of Miron
ChriStea, patriarch of the Rumanian
Orthodox Church, it was explained to-
day, was merely to give Princess Ileana
the church's blessing before she leaves
it for the Roman Catholic fold.
This morning two bishops sent by
Pope Plus XI from Rome baptized the
princess as a Catholic and tomorrow's
rites will be those Of the Catholic
Church.
This evening all the guests dined at
the Castle of TeleSh, where the festivi-
ties, originally planned to be garden
party, were transferred because Of bad
weather.
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
Minister OF the Interior Hamangiu will
perform a civil service. The religious
service, at which the Catholic Bishop
Cesar will officiate, will bo held at IL
am.
Will Fly TO Austria.
At 3 O'Clock in the afternoon the
royal couple will leave by car for Queen
Marie's castle at Bran, where they will
remain until August 4. From there
they will fly in Archduke Anton's plane
to the Monastery of Horez to visit the
Boy and Girl Scouts encamped there,
and continue on by air to Budapest,
Vienna, Munich and Sigmaringen,
where they will visit the HohenzoHern
family.
They are expected to reach London
August Is. where they will receive the
airplane which Is King Carols wedding
gift to the princess. and from London
they will return to Munich, where they
will make their home.
Costly gifts of jewelry and rare OBJ
jects of art have been showered upon
the royal pair, but no present she has
received has touched the princess more
than the gift of pair Of snow white
pigeons, which, according to the Ru-
manian peasant tradition, symbolic
innocent love and matrimonial fidelity.
Government Sends $500.
The princess also greatly appreciated
the act of a Hungarian aviator who
risked his neck this morning by al
most skimming the castle roof to drop
a bouquet bearing wishes for happiness
to the royal couple from Hungarian
aviation.
The Rumanian government sent
Princess Ileana a present Of $500 con-
tanned in a jeweled box. The princess
apportioned $1,000 of this for distribu-
ton among the poor.

MARYLAND LEGION
SEEKS BONUS RULE
Group Wants MCCarI Opinion
on Certificates Less Than
Two Years Old.

The American Legion Of Maryland
has stepped into the bonus loan situa-
ton with a hope to get a ruling from
Controller General McCarl to authorize
loans on adjusted service certificates
issued less than two years ago. While
no indication was forthcoming from
the controller generals office, 1t was in
dicated from other branches of the
Government that the only way this
could be accomplished would be by a
new act of Congress.
The law at present, as interpreted
by the Veterans Bureau and referred
to by President Hoover in his veto mes
mage to Congress on the bonus bill,
provides that certificate must be two
or more years old before a loan can be
granted.
The Maryland American Legion never
theless has taken steps through its State
adjutant, Arthur H. MCGEE, to ask Nc
Carl for a ruling. MCGEE pointed out
that the two-year plan was unfair to
veterans who were in need of loans
The controller general, however usual
ly makes formal, decisions only for the
Federal Government agencies, and it
was not known whether he could answer
MCGEE oficially.
Senator Tydings Of Maryland when
informed Of the movement by the Mary
land Legion, said: II believe the law
could be liberalized without too great
expense to the Government"

While it was found impossible to give
all employees at the penal institutions

institutions, of course, are different
from those in regular departments of
the District Governments. Prisoners
must be under constant guard and with
a minimum number of guards at the

other institutions, 1t will be necessary
to keep SUFFICIENT number of guards

All activities Of the welfare depart.

ployes will be retained after that hour
whose services cannot be dispensed with.
That is in accordance with the general
ruling that applies to all Federal and
District activities.

formatory, it was said half the force

SAMANEz OFFERED
AID IN RULING PERU
Provisional President Given
Pledges of Cooperation
From Every Hand.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LIMA, Peru, March 11.-Pledges of
cooperation in solving dificulties
facing revolution-torn Peru came to Its
new provisional president, David Sam
anez Ocampo, southern political leader
from every hand today.
Samanez, a rancher and occasional
army oficer of Arequips, will remain
in Office until elections can be held
and the country returned to constitu-
tional government.
Crowd Sees Samanez.
A crowd of 5000 gathered outside
the Palace and demanded to see the
new president yesterday shortly after
his arrival by airplane from Arequipa.
With Lieut.. Col. Gustavo Jiminez, who
staged the coup which brought him TO
power, he appeared and in an address
promised to do all in his power to re-
store order. He said eXpatriated ex-
tremists would be allowed to return to
Peru
Samanez's elevation to the provisional
presidency eliminated negotiations be-
tween the Lima and Arsquipa factions
course of which Samanez, presumably
to demonstrate the sincerity of his de-
sire not to be the cause of dissension,
caused the resignation of the southern
junta. which he and others had set up
at Arequipa.
He finally was convinced by Lieut..
Col. Jiminez that 1t was best he come to
Lima and take charge Of the transit
tional government.
Takes Oath Today.
Samanez will be sworn in late today,
1t was announced this morning at the
Government House.
After dining at the palace last night
the new leader from the south COM
municated by telegraph with several
provincial centers. The nature of his
negotiations was kept secret.
Later the palace doors were closed
while the incoming executive conferred
with a group of civilians, including Dr.
Jose Galvez. one of the editors of Fl
Peru. The paper had attacked bitterly
the candidacy and methods Of Sanchez
Cerro, provisional President until 10
days ago, and had been suppressed two
days before he resigned. 1t reappeared

ARGUMENT HEARD
ON CRAMT0N BILL
Mt. Rainier Delegation Before
Prince Georges Lawmakers
at Annapolis.
BY star Correspondent ot Tn. star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 1.-THE
usual cry against prospective increased
taxation '1s certainly not applicable in
regard TO this great gift from the Fed
eral Government" T. Howard Duckett,
member of the Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission,
tbld the Prince Georges County delega-
ton yesterday at hearing on the pro-
posed bill to enable Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties 10 obtain their
share of the $4,500 900 made available
for purchase of park lands through the
Cramton act.
Mr.. Duckett spoke in answer to . re-
quest from Bird H. Dolby 3. z. Sager
and a delegation from Mount Rainier
asking the delegates not to pass the bill,
or If that was impossible, to add ref
erendum clause.
The bill would authorize Prince
Georges County's commissioners TO is
sue bonds not in excess of $500, 900 for
the purchase CT park lands. MI. Dolby
charged that a maximum tax of %
cents per 800 probably would be re-
quired to repay the debt and maintain
the parks, based on the present S35,-
1884 assessed valuation of the metro
politan area Of the county.
Declaring the people Of Mount
Rainier are not opposed to improve
ments, but felt that the tax burden
upon them at present is all they can
carry, and ito have the additional
taxation involved in the CHAMPION
enabling bill hanging over our heads
would be a hardship" B. z. Sager,
town clerk, urged the referendum clause

rs whale more intelligent than q


man2
Some queer things about the
i brains of Moby Dicks relatives
have Just been reported by inves-
tigators of the Carnegie Institution OF
Washington.
First, DR.. o. r. Langworthy reports
that in some of the smaller members OF
the toothed whale family "the cerebral
hemispheres are large and highly con-
voluted, more so than those of man. !"
The deep burrows and folds of grey mat
ter on the roof of the human brain
generally have been believed a distinctly
human character, giving much greater
brain surface and, consequently, more
of the supposed physical basis for men,
tally. The brain of man is more fur
rowed than that of an ape, who in turn
exceeds the monkey, the monkey, the
dog. and so on down the line in an evo-
lutionary sequence. But the whale ex-
ceeds them all.
Appear Poor Quality.
On the other hand, DR.. Langworthy
found, the nerve cells in the whales
brain are thinly distributed, in COM
parison with the higher animals, and
are poorly differentiated into cell lay
ers. The animal has lot of brains,
but they seem to be of poor quality.
Whatever intelligence the whale has,
Carnegie scientists point out must have
developed In strikingly different way
from that of human beings, for mans
thinking capacity is centered about the
small area in the front of his brain,
which controls the use of his hands and
the muscles of his throat and tongue.
The whale has no hands and he doesn't
talk-at least not very much.
But his brain structure, as reported
from the Carnegie dissectionS, shows he
has a remarkably developed sense Of
hearing. The nervous mechanism OF
sight, however, is poorly developed and
the animal probably does not see well
enough to make more than gross diff
ferentiations between objects. No SMELL
ing mechanism could be distinguished.
He couldn't smell very well in the water
anyway.
Needed for Proportions.
A considerable part Of his brain ma
chinery apparently is concerned with
maintaining his position and sense OF
proportions in the water. Somewhere
between 100000 and 100000 years
ago. according to DR.. Remington KEEL
logg. Carnegie paleontologist, he was a
land animal, probably Of the same in
sectivorods stock from which man also
developed in another direction, who
took to the water and gradually de-
veloped the necessary physical and
nervous mechanismS for remaining In
the ocean all the time. But this was
radical change of environment. The
whale not only had to develop adequate

added that cuts in personnel had been
made and that others were inevitable.
Henry Reimers, general manager OF
the Allied Van Lines, which specialiZes
in the movement of furniture and ONCE
fixtures from bases in the Middle West,
asserted that the operations Of his COM
pany were being hurt by lack OF regu-
lation Tor highway carriers.
He said that other highway carriers,
doing business on an uneconomic basis,
got traffic at rates his concern could
not meet and which in the end actually
put the former out of business.
Reimers voiced the opinion that CO.
ordinated rail and highway trafnc is the
solution that should be sought.
