MICHAEL STRANGE THRILLED
Famous Writer Finds
Country a Place Of
the Future"

NEW YORK, Sept. michael
Strange, the writer, who in pri-
vate life is Mrs. Harrison Tweed,
has returned after her visit to
Germany and Russia, bored by
the one and deeply impressed with
the other.
It was Russia that excited her
enthusiasm. Landing from the
North German Lloyd liner Bremen
with her 12-year-old daughter,
Tiana Barrymore, a child by her
marriage with John Barrymore
she said:
what Russia makes you feel
is energy ano life. You are inn
pressed, not SO much by the
present as with the future. You
feel they are going to come out
into something superb.
Russia gives the appearance
Of a country under martial law.
1t is impossible to Judge how
long it will take to convert their
ideals into decent living. But
the people are surviving the diff
ficulties because they feel they
are approaching a better state"
Asked about the status of Rus
sian women, she answered:
There is a plan for their pro-
lection and emancipation that
will be magnificent, especially
when they get enough to eat"
She said she had seen none OF
the much reported propaganda ir
the Russian theaterS, adding:
"This is in contrast with what
I found in Berlin. There you
get propaganda thrown at you,
not only in the theater but in
the street. The driver of your
car turns around to give you an
earful. And it's propaganda Of
the most naive kind.

and very dead"

SITE NEGOTIATIONS
DELAYING SCHOOL
Congress to Be Asked for
Funds When "ReasonabIe"
Offer of Land Is Made.

Congress will be asked for money
needed for the purchase OF the remain
der Of the site for the proposed new
Jefferson Junior High School building,
in Southwest Washington when property
owners involved have submitted "rea-
sonable" offer for their land, the Dis
trict Commissioners said late yesterday.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the new Board Of Commission
ers when John M. Schaffer, president
of the Southwest Washington Citizens
Association, presented a plea for an
early start Of the project. Negotiations
may be renewed, it was indicated.
Appropriations Lapsed
Construction of the school has been
long delayed because OF q contest over
the price to be paid by the District for
the portion e the site needed. An ap-
preparation of $685. 900 in the 1882 act
and another fund Of $4,000 in the 1888
act lapsed because Of the land-purchase
issue.
The District owns large portion of
the area bounded by Seventh, Eighth,
H and I streets southwest, but needs
more land for an adequate playground.
New Trial Award $2O5,000.
Originally a condemnation jury set
the price at $4,000 for the additional
land, but the owners appealed and the
award was thrown out. The District
offered to compromise, but the owners
asked for a new trial. and the award in
that case was for S2O5 ,OOO
That award was contested and won
by the District.
The District has available $3.50 900
Of total authorization of $685., 900 for
construction of the building, when the
problem Of the site Is solved.

National Museum Experts Laud Work of

Definite Trace of the Mermaid.

There were some queer fishes In the
sea 400 years ago.
Even then the learned gave no par
ticular credence to mermaids and sea
Serpents, but the scaled lion of the
ocean depths, the bishop fish and the
mer king were considered at least plaus-
ible and were described from good
authority.
Among the curious old books which
have just come to light in the collec-
tions Of the National Museum is prob
ably the Oldest printed work on fishes,
issued in 1854 in France by the erudite
Guillaume Rondelet, physician and pro-
fessor at the College of Montpelier.
National Museum experts who have
examined the old book expressed aston
ishment that on the whole the medieval
zoologist was SO accurate in his descr1p-
tions and drawings of marine life. So
on solid ground and wrote about IT and
drew it in such a way that it would be
recognized today.
Use of Imagination.
But he let his imagination play on
those fishes which he had not seen. but
which his good friend Gilbert the Ger
man, "a physician at Rome and man
of unquestioned good faith" told him
about. He wished to make a complete
compendium of the marine life of his
day and could not afford to overlook
anything, but states frankly II he has
not seen what he is describing.
1t was Gilbert who told him about
the horrible water monster found In
Swiss lake a year before the death
of Pope Paul the Third" It was a
quadruped the size, shape and general
appearance of lion, but it was covered
with scales like a fish"
1t was Gilbert the German also who
told him about the piscus monarchus,
or mer king, whose existence, he afflrms
was also Vouched for by Queen Marga-
ret of Navarro. This was a monster
creature with a human face but the tail

that they resembled the robes of an

Bishop Fish Seen in 1881.
The book also cites the existence of
the piScus episcopus, or bishop fish,
seen in Poland in 1881" Concerning
this strange creature Rondolet says

suspects that it must belong to the FAM

PHILADELPHIA, December 27-An
improved bankruptcy procedure that
would permit immediate settlement OF
matured debts and let business know
where it really stands" is urged by
Lewis H. Haney, professor of economics
at New York University.
In an address for delivery before the
American Statistical Association, one
of Is national groups which opened
conventions simultaneously today to
discuss allied topics of economics and
social science, Haney said that "last
March we jumped the track which
leads to normal recovery"

breeds complete uncertainty and stag

''I cannot too strongly emphasize that
a condition vital and essential 20 re-
CoVery Is the settlement of claims and

debts to an extent sufiicient to allow
debtors and creditors to know where
they really stand.
Last March, during our general
banking suspension, 1t was to have been
hoped that this sort OF settlement
would emerge. Actually, suspensions
were unduly minimized by the preva-
lence Of lax examinations Of banks, the
ministrations Of the r. F. c., the pal
liatives provided by the Steagan bill,
etc.
Similar Devices In Use.
Now, through various similar mech
anisms, including the purchasing Of
preferred bank stock by the Govern
rnent, we are seeking to prevent the
settlement of claims, and we find 90
per cent OF the assets of the Federal
Reserve banks and over 80 per cent of
the assets Of the member banks con-
sisting of Government securities"
Recession and depression he termed
processes of correction, adding: when
society undertakes to fight these
processes and to obstruct them at every
turn. as we have done to an unparaI-
leled extent during the past three years,
the depression is necessarily prolonged" :"
