Princeton University says in an article
in "Iiturgical Arts" a new quarterly,

Until the third century, his picture
was not painted at all, and Prof. Morey
attributes this to combination of ex-

figure still more nearly a part of the
present than of history.

ANNOUNCE NEW | MINE METHODS
Quicksilver Now More Easily Recovered From
 Low Grade Ore

Washington. - (UP)-Announce- ment of new mining processes and mineral treatment in three cases has been made by the United States bu- |reau of mines of the commerce de- pertinent.
 One of the mines bureau circulars was relative to methods for recover- ing quicksilver from low grade ore. The new method was first tried at the Sulphur Bank Syndicate at Clear. lake, Cal, where there Is a large amount of refuse ore after the sul- phur has been removed from the gangue. Six methods of recovery have been successfully used, ohtain- ing an average of 9,100 pounds of quicksilver from approximately 1,300 tons of refuse ore each month.
 The mines bureau has also ex- perimented with small gold mining processes and announces g success fully operated small mine at Tim mins, ont, where the development of the mine has be encarried on al- most exclusively from the proceeds of a 25 ton pilot mill.
 Tn addition ito these two new methods now in use, the government experts at the mining department have evolved a new method for the fiotation of lead-zipc sulphides in a concentrator at Tybo, Nev. A com- plicated electrolytic process has been developed which, experts claim. can be proftab1y operated on partly oxidized ores.

ANOTHER JUDGE
 FACING TROUBLE
 BEFORE SEABURY
Mrs Jean Norris Is Gone and Now the Attack Is Made on Magistrate Sil- hermann

New York. June 26.--(UP)-Ref- cree Samuel Seabury, who conducted the vigorous custer proceedings against Mrs Jean Norris, Manhat- tan's first woman magistrate, turned his attack to-day on Magistrate Jesse Silbermann.
 Silbermann is the ninth magis- trate to come under fire since the magistrates courts scandal broke here two years ago. Mrs Norris was the first to be tried and busted since Seabury began his investiga- ton into minor courts on behalf of the appellate division. Three others Francis x. McQuade, Henry M. R.. Goodman, and George W. Simpson resigned under fire in the current Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky was tried and acquitted.
 Two others, Magistrate Francis M. Mancuso and George Ewald also resigned. when they became involved in court scandals. Mancuso quit when he was accused of taking part in the City Trust company frauds which caused the bank to close and Ewald resigned after he was indict- ed on charges of paying $10.000 to Hall for his office. The indictments were dismissed, how ever, when three juries disagreed. silbermann, like Mrs Norris, sat in the women's court. Except for one, four of the same justices who found her guilty of un- judicial acts, unfairness and callous- ness in disregarding the rights of will hear testimony on charges of unfitness to hold office against Silbermann.

France Made Reply To Hoover Proposal
 On Debt Payments
United States Has Indicated Its Willingness to Com.
 promise With the French on Their Reservations

the non-postponable annuity with the sole exception of the amounts necessary to the execution of the balances of the current contracts for payments in kind, a proceeding which, moreover, is advantageous to German economy.
 "In making this proposal, the French government expects that the other benefciaries under the Young plan will adopt the same decisions and it even hopes that other meas ures may be taken to favor the beneficial restoration of credit and confidence in the world.
 "The sums thus turned over to the bank Of International settle ments could be utilized at once for as in countries of central Europe, and especially those in which the suspension of the execution of the Young plan during one year might create financial or economic disturb ance. It goes without saying that the amounts so employed would again become available at the expiration of the period of one year contemplated as the limit of the provisional sus- pension of the Young plan.
 "The French government also be- lieves that all necessary precautions should be taken in order that these sums as we'll as those to be de- rived from the easing of the budget of the Reich as a result of the sus- pension of the Young plan payments economic purposes, all danger of financing of dumping being ehm- mated.
 Lastly, it will be advisable to contemplate before the expiration of the period of one year an examina- tion of measures to be taken by Ger many for the resumption of her pay ments.
 "The proposals of the French gov- ernment and the adjustment, which will be suggested by the application of the American offer and which will necessarily be the subject of a subsequent exchange of views, thus appear to be perfectly compatible with the dominant idea of Presi- dent Hoover's proposal.
 ''In placing at the disposal of the bank of international settlements, on the conditions contemplated above, her part in the unconditional an- nuity, France is deprived, during the suspension period, of what had been allotted to her on account of the charges which she has to meet for reconstruction of her devastated re- gions.
 Without wishing to insist on tho difference between the sums which she has received and the sums which she should have received. France re- calls that the amount of her public debt is about four times that of the debt of the Reich and that her ef- fort at financial restoration carried on and accomplished by her own means barely four years ago should not be endangered.
 "The French government can, therefore. affirm the solidarity of the French republic and of the republic of the United States at the moment when, faithful to their traditions, the two countries are cooperating in pre- cautionary measures in a crisis which is considered grave. They have a right to hope that a response will be made to their international good will, by respect for treaties, and by the restoration of confidence be. tween peoples. on which the future of peace depends.

Seattle-(UP)-Vacuum cleaners may be indispensable for cleaning rugs, but heir most valuable asset, in the opinion of M. D. Sehuster. is the ability to capture swarms of bees.
 Mrs schuster returned home after visiting friend, and found her living room occupied by bees. They fioated noisly about the room, covered the chairs and draperies, or angrily bumped their heads against the win- dows and ceiling.
 Mrs Schuster never had much ex- perience with bees, so she slammed the dor shut and retired to the kitch- en, where she devoted the afternoon to planning some means of attack.
 When her husband returned home and found no meal awaiting him, and his living room full of bees, he went into action with the first thing he could lay his hands on. It happened to be the vacuum cleaner.
 He advanced to the living room with the cleaner buzzing upside down. Perhaps the bes heard fa- miliar note in that humming sound. For one by one, and then in larger groups, they began flying toward the

CANNON TO OPPOSE

Bishop, Back From Europe,
Suggests McAdoo as Man
for Democratic Choice.

Bishop James Cannon, IT., who led
the anti-Smith Democrats in the 1928
presidential campaign, said today on
his return to Washington from Europe
that he would oppose the nomination
and, election of any wet Democratic
candidate for President next year.
Bishop Cannon predicted the defeat
of the Democrats in the national cleo

he said. could carry the country.

Cannon, lis the logical man and would

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New

and unacceptable to the Southern drys.
He thought Newton d. Baker Of Ohio,
former Secretary of War, might be less
Objectionable to the drys than Roosevelt.
He added, however. that Baker dld not
quite fill the bill from the dry point OF
view
He pointed out that owen D. Young,
chairman of the board of the General
Electric Co., has not yet declared him
self q wet or dry. but has said he was
not in politics and did not feel COM

to be a Democrat and added:
~ would like to vote for Democrat
for President next year, but If the
Democratic national convention nomi-
mates a wet and the Republicans nomi-
nate President Hoover, as I believe they
will. 1 shall vote for Mr.. Hoover again.
Bishop Cannon insisted the same
thing would happen in the South II the
Democrats nominated wet for Presl-
dent as happened III 1928. He ex-
pressed the opinion that former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith of New York is anxious
to run again and will have himseH
nominated If he can.
He also expressed the opinion that
Smith would in all probability have a
great deal to say about the selection Oh

Gov. Smith was not favorable to the
