 Macdonald signed three docu- ments; the final acts of the confer ence and the fourth and fifth sec- tions of the treaty. Foreign Min ister Sir John Simon signed the second and third sections.
 All other delegates signed the second and third sections, dealing with transitional measures relating to Germany, and the resolution re- lating to non-German reparations
 Macdonald referred directly tc future settlement with the United States in an extemporaneous speech.
 "Our agreements must have re- sp0nse elsewhere" he said. "We have already said that any agree. Snent we reach must be placed in a framework"
 'It is no good collecting sums from one government, or any coun- try, which disturbs world trade, " Mcdonald said. "The United States, the country most fitted to withstand economic shocks, is now as severely hit as any European country"
 We have opened new book. There are no more separations. Those great payments, sums which reuresented no transfer of goods, have not been a punishment to one nation but an affliction to all," the prime minister said.
 Macdonald announced after the signing that the commissions on non-German reparations and cen- tral European problems would be- gin work after the end of the rep

CIGAR BOXES MADE
 INTO CATHEDRAL TOWER

Geneva, N. Y.-(UP)--A three foot model of a cathedral tower, made Of nothing but cigar boxes, has been. constructed by Russell R. Isenhour.
 Five spires surmount the struc- ture, which is complete with al- 'coves, porticos and entrances. The exterior is arrayed in numerous metallic colors, including gold, bronze, aluminium and purple.
 One of the most remarkable fea- lures of the model is it's mechani- cal equipment. The tower contains an old German clock. In a minia- ture street in front of the building stands a lamp post, surmounted by a little electric clock. As the clock prepares to strike the hour, tiny mechanical man emerges from the building he holds an electric light in his hand. Going into the street. he turns about glances at the face of the clock, and disappears into the doorway.

 The flyers said there appeared to be plenty of space for a forced landing on the edge of the town of 25,000. They were flying at night and in bad weather, however.
 They brought their machine down easily on what appeard to be a level surface, but which was a peat bog. The Century of Pro- gressr sunk it's wheels quickly in the swamp, caxae to an abrupt halt, and nosed over with a crash.
 Thus ended the attempt to fly around the world.
 Mattern and Griffin, shaken but only superficia1ly hurt. scrambled out of their plane and probed woe- fully about in the dark to discover that there was no hope of continu- ing. y.s
 Workers on a nearby state farm, aroused by the noise, came rum ming to the scene, jabbering excit- edly in Russian, which Mattern and Griffin could not understand. Sign language got the flyers treat ment for their bruises. They were taken to Borisov's only hotel.
 Local authorities and officials from Minsk, nearby Provincial capital, were summoned. After seeing that the flyers were com fortable, they sent news of the landing to Moscow.

 The Connecticut Motor Club seems to have anticipated the need for educational activities over the weekend. For. two or three seasons past they have been doing a worth while job at strategic points along the main highways. Uniformed men courteously explain rules of the road to Connecticut drivers and those from out of the state. any reckless drivers observed by them are shown correct highway be- havior while gross neglect is promptly reported to the authori- ties and the guilty one is appre- hended by st&te policeman.
 When one considers the economic less through faulty Sunday driving 1t becomes obvious that there is imperative need for more of this educational work. And clearly the responsibility belongs to state and municipal authorities.

TOKYO, Jan g. (P)-A confer ence to revise the Nine-PoWer Treaty which was cited by Secre- tary of State Stimson in a recent note to Japan on the Manchurian situation may be sought py Japan for the purpose of obtaining a clear definition of the term admins trative integrity" as used in the treaty.
 A spokesman for the government said that at the time of signing the Kellogg Peace Pact that Japan should have made a reservation with regard to Manchuria but that they failed to do so.
 The Japanese cabinet and Prem fer Inukai, who rendered their res ignations to the Emperor because he was nearly victim of bomb, have decided to remain in office
 The handing in of their resigna- tions was merely formal and neces- sary- gesture as the Ministry is re- sponsible for the safety of the Elm peror. The bomb, which appar- ently was intended for the Elm peror, fell under the carriage ahead
 of the one in which the Emperor was riding and exploded with a puff of white smoke.
 Examination of the bomb dis closed that it was composed of a number of metallic slugs. Only one person, guardsman on horse back, was injured. A 32-year-old Korean laborer, who said his name was Rihoso, was arrested for the bombing attempt.

RULING MAKES T UNNECESSARY FOR TAX
 OEL|NQUENTs ID PAY

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. (P) U County Judge E. Jarecke handed down a ruling that Cook County 1928 and 1929 real estate assessments were fraudulent and illegal.
 Although technically, the decision holds good only for objectors in this case, the ruling actually affects $451 ,7O9, ,000 taxes and leaves Chi cago and Cook County virtually pennileSs and threatened with re- ceivership.
 The courts decision directly af- fleets 3 suit brought by Mrs. Lil- Han Cisar but involves indirectly $140,O00,O00 taxes unpaid on the ac- count for 1928 and 1929 assess ments, $2g6,OO0,O0O for 1880 and $25, 5,0O0,000 in tax forfeitS
 The ruling makes it unnecessary for those who have failed to pay taxes to pay them now and leaves Chicago with the prospect of no income for many months to come.
 The city and Cook County will appeal the decision.
