 Wheat met profit-taking but. like stocks, 1t came back and made new highs for the season. In the late afternoon wheat at Chicago was up 3.4 to 2 IA cents a bushel; corn up 2 1-S to 3 7-s cents and other grains made corresponding gains. Cotton at New York eased off after early firmness, while Cocoa moved higher.
 There were few weak spots. Radio Keith Orpheum and Western Union made new lows. Steel com mon held around the previous close as did American Telephone, both having sold off from the early highs. Pennsylvania and New York Central were slightly under the closing prices of yesterday as were few of the oils.
 The mining group was strong as unit, featured by American Smelling which moved up more than a point. American Smelling, largest silver refiner, jumped moro than a point and International Silver made substantial gain.
 Industrial shares ruled firm. AL lied Chemical was up 2 points Tn its group and United Carbon made similar gain. these issues selling at S9h and IS respectively.

Polish Gentleman Is No APOLLO,
But He Sure Hos Way With Women

Warsaw.-Leo Weidenberg, tailor
by profession and husband by ayo-
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
for divorce she bought with her five
other wives, all undiyorced, to aid her
cause. But she did not consider that
all were women Of tender hearts and
stanch attachment to her philandering
mate. The moment Weidenberg was
brought in all the former Mrs. Weld
enbergs started fight for him. Dur
ing the scramble Weidenberg modestly
disappeared and for all anybody knows
is marrying again.
Decides to Travel.
Meantime, stories Of his escapades

berg had decided to travel. He went
to Russia and after changing from the
Jewish faith to Russian orthodox, he

After eight years of marriage in Rus
STA wanderlust seized him again and
he returned to Poland. On a river
boat from Warsaw to Plock he fell
in love with a Jewish girl named
Channa Zebrak. Having his old pa

within four years-four children
blessed this union.

At Lublin he met Mary Nowak. Wei

He became Roman Catholic There

Two years later he was in Piotrkow

church, unrecognized by the pope
Weidenberg became a Marjawit and
married Joan. Five children blessed
this union.

Premier Laval we're almost constant
" at the American end of the trans
atlantic telephone line, coaching them
and learning what progress they were
making. At this writing the progress,
il any, is small.
Premier Laval, who was continual
ly receiving the advice and assistance
Of Finance Minister Fla din and
others, stood firmly on the position
he had assumed, and the senate, by a
vote of 1877 to 5, backed him up, yir-
tually giving him free hand SO long
as he did not recede. This huge vote
. did not indicate that the senate had
confidence in Laval, however. He
was attacked fiercely and jeered, but
the senator's had to express their APP
proval of the refusal to give in to
President Hoover.
Mr. Hoover then came to bat with a
memorandum sent to Ambassador
Edge for communication to the French
government. This was in effect an ul-
timatum to France that unless she &C.
copied the Hoover plan she was like
ly to be left out in the cold. The
warning was conveyed that if the
Presidents project failed, Germany
certainly would apply for mora
torium on PREPARATIONS as provided by
the Young plan, and this, Mr.. Hoover
figured, would cost France 100000
100000 more than would the Hoover
moratorium. Behind the polite phrases
in the memorandum seemed TO lie the
intimation that If France rejected the
Hoover plan, the administration would
establish a moratorium on war debt
payments and leave France out.

Lips and Eyes Tested
as Keys to Character

Oxford, England.-The theory that
lips and eyes are key to vocation and
character, suggested by Professor Bett-
mann, the Heidelberg dermatologist,
was tested at 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 1t was found, had one predomi-
mating facial feature-the thin lip.
Professor Bettman maintains that
deep thinkers have the thinnest lips.

questions closely for years, and prob
ably knows what he is talking about.
In his opinion, consolidation legisla-
ton will again be taken up, and laws
for the regulation Of the motor bus
and the motor truck will be proposed.
Mr.. Tess foresees much difficulty IN
getting legislation enacted to meet
the various transportation problems.
This difficulty is much enhanced, as
he views it, by the competition be-
tween the railroads and other forms
of transportation. On the one hand,
he feels the .ountry cannot get along
without the railroads, but on the 9TH
er, he is convinced the public will
not sanction any undue restriction of
other forms of transportation.
The Ohio senator is an advocate of
legislation to liberalize existing law
with reference to railroad consolida-
tions. He sponsored, in the last con-
gress, the Fess-Parker bill to provide.
in effect, for voluntary combinations.
1t is interesting to hear, from Sen
ator Fess himself, that he probably
will remain chairman of the Repub-
liean national committee for another
year. despite frequent rumors that he
would retire or be displaced. He called
on President Hoover the other day
and afterward said: at appears now
that will serve until convention time
next year." However, he insisted he
had not discussed the matter With
the President.
