Can't Stare at Paris Judge iow of 1867 is Uncovered Making [t An Offense Paris.--Diving deeply into tle dust. covered archives of French legal pro- cedure, a law concocted in 1867 has been discovered which holes it as un offense to cast "a persist tly fix- ed star" at a municipal magistrate. No friendly, or malicious, g are will henceforth be tolerated in France, and those who wilfully, or inadvert- ently, are caught casting 'a nersist- ently fixed stare" a' another may find themselves subjected to a heavy fine, or a term of incarceration in a jail This unprecedented case was in- voked recently in a trial a- Rouen when Joseph Levet, war hao. was charged with insulting concoct, to- ward M.

War Danger Worry Cause American Rallis Ack U.S. To State Terms For Joining League Wernersville, Pa.---Preparation for war by nations-of the world is point- ed to by the Central Conference of America Rabbis as the result of fai- lure of economic and disarmament conferences to reach satisfactory con clusions. : By resolutions at their 45th annual convention, they expressed alarm at what they described as a threatened rekindling of 'war, and a war spirit throughout the world and urged re- sistance to any threats against the preservation of peace. The resolution, presented by the In- ternational Peace Commission yester- day, proposed a seven-point peace program, including immediate vatifi- cation of world court protecols, inves: tigation of arms and munitions in- dustry, passages of the arms embargo resolution, postponement of further naval construction until after the 1935 naval conference, nd larger appro: priations for the state department to function as a peac? body. The ves- solution also urged that the govern- ment state terms on which it would join the League of Nations. The rabbis suggested nationaliz- ation or governmental supervision of the commercial armament industry, and went on record as opposing com- pulsory military training in colleges and universities. Roosevelt Signs Road Program Bill Washington -- The Hayden-Cart- wright Road Act, which assures for the next three years a billion-dollar work program, was signed recently by President Roosevelt. In a formal statement, Mr. Roose- velt pointed out that "highway work under the National Recovery Act now in more than 90 per cent. under contract or advertised for contract, and the new program is necessary to sustain highway employment on an adequate and reasonable scale for the remaining period of recovery." Action Costs Life Warsaw--Miss Elvine .Karso Sied- Jewaska, 22-year-old society beauty who drew lots with death, is dead. She and a girl companion went to a flying field to meet Prince Constan- tin Cantacudene, owner of a two-seat- ed stunting 'plane. Invited to go up with him, they drew lots to see who would have the first fiight,, and Miss Siedlewaska lost. During the second flight, the 'plane crashed on a sand- bank in the Vistula River, causing fatal injuries to the young woman. The Prince was injured seriously but likely will recover. Varied Meanings in Words Blamed for Mental Ills New York--Semantics, a new prin- ciple in human behavior, originated by Count Alfred Korzybski, was de schibed to the American Psychiatric Association recently. Semantics deals with the miseval- uations which arise from the multipli- city of meanings in common words Serious mental and social ills due to this confusion were discussed by Regi- nald St. Elmo Murray, M.D., of Lyons, N.J, R ' "Investigation 'shows," he said, "that examples of primitive, mislead- Ing, delusional, semanticism are legion and in the aggregate may be in part responsible for the widespread expres- pion of unsanity today." ; . Count. Korzybski in an interview explained the workings of semantics. - [To say that a rose "is" red, he said, fs a delusion. The red color is only khe vibrations of light waves and if he observer is color blind, the rose Bo him is not red. i 'A single wrong identification be- Pause of false evaluation, Korzybski said, can ruin a human life, a science or a social system. : Medical records he cited as filled with mental and even physical ills caused by wrong "identifications" of this sort. Medical men have proposed cures by clearing up such misevalua- tions, Semantics proposes that these sources of trouble be avoided on a lar- ger scale by recognition of the me- chanisms of all language; and by rec- ognition that all speech and writing is a matter of interpretation and not of dogmatic definitions. An important point in semantics is that nothing is "identical" with any- thing else and nothing can be des: cribed "completely," a principle that he calls "non-identity." "Multiordinal words" is another principle of semantics. As an example Joye has one meaning to one person, 'arfother to someone else. Even plain yes or no have different meanings, de- poxing on circumstances. } the northeast coast a third band will} Mi:s Barbara Joan Denny, daughter of Mr. ana Mrs, lk. H.

T.ondon, --- Four housebreakers sent to prison at the Old Bailey rec- ently owed their capturs to a smart piece of detective work on the part of a fourteen-year-old schoolboy. Rodney artin Carter is the hero of this erime thrill. He is a Westminster public schoolboy, and if it had not been for his "Sherlock Holmes" in- stinct" a robbery at his Chislehurst home might have had to be added to the year's list of unsolved crimes. Rodney and his mother had been out in the car for the afternoon, and when they returned the front' door was open-and a man was just leaving the house, - . HID BEHIND TREE Mother and boy hid behind a tree in the grounds and watched. Four men came from the house and walked down the lane in the direction of London, Rodney got his bicycle and cycled unconcernedly past the four men in search of the policeman who is usual- ly to be found near Elmstead Station. But the policeman was not there, so the boy--eycling his hardest--rode to the local police station, gave the pol- ice a description of the four men, and pointed out the route they were tak- ring. . It 'was not long before all four were inside Chislehurst police station, and charged with the theft of jewelry, which was afterwards picked up be- hind a hedge, where one of the gang flung it when the police net began to close around them. VERY EXCITING at their trial were Robert McFarline, aged 45; painter; Alec Menday, 35; upholsterer; Frank Pulley, 34, confec- tioner; Robert White, 30, clerk. All kad previous convictions. Each man was sentenced to six months' imp.i- sonment, And this was the 'bag" of a round- faced smiling London schoolboy. No wonder Rodney Martin Carter is a hero in the eyes of the Chisle- hurst police--in the eyes of his admir- ing class-mates. "It was all very exciting while it lasted," he said, "and, of course, it was a great thrill when I saw the whole four brought to the police sta- tion. Of course, I'm glad I was able to bring about their capture. "Who wouldn't be?" ) Bans Exports Germany Fears Shortage, Holds All Wheat and Flour Berlin--An embargo on exports of wheat and wheat flour from Germany is now in effect. : When the embargo was declared by the government, it was explained it would be operated through 'restriction of export permits. The official notice gave no reason for the embargo but it was believed the unfavorable effect of a prolonized heat wave on standing crops was responsible. : Export of barley and corn was virtually banned by a further decreé pre-dating the terms of a clause in the grain law so that export permits will now no longer will be issued, ] The four men, who pleaded guilty ©1000 on his wife and the province clai- £1lm Heroine "Weds Director Laura LaPlante Bride of Irv- ing Asher; Walker at Cere-! mony. ---- ------ em S-- Tee England's Lone Gunman Kills Self to Avoid Arrest and Tri: f Worthing, England--After a 48 hour manhunt in which police and hundreds of citizens united, England's lone gunman, Leonard Hill, killed himself with the pistel with which he shot a policeman, Policeman Atthur Jex, whom he shot, is recovering, but Hill committed suicide rather than face English justice. «" The police and volunteer posses surrounded Hill in Sussex woods.

The forging of the last links ifi the route has begun with the signing of contract between the Australian Government and Quantas Empire " Alrways, the latter being a combination formed from the British concern Imperial Airways and the Quantas Airways of Australia, which is to operate the section from Singapore to the termin. us at Cootamundra, in New South Wales. To start with, it is expccied to cover the distance in 14 days, though this may he lessened if negotiations now in progress with _ continental countries are brought to a success- ful issue.

Despite his protests, Walker "stole the show." As photographers crowd- ed around him he exclaimed: "Why do I always have to get in weddings,' christenings and funerals? This Asher's party." The newly-weds delayed in marrying because French laws, Pierre Wertheimer, an old friend, served as best man for Asher. * Mr. and Mrs. Asher will spend a; brief honeymoon in Paris, while the Walkers will fly back to their home in England immediately. Miss Compton is acting in a picture there. Walker, as debonair as ever, laugh- ed at the idea he might 'settle down" in England. Asked about it, he replied: ; "Nonsense, of course not." . "Then you are going back home?" "Of course," Walker replied. "I am going back to New York." "When?" "Nobody knows." Miss La Plante has been appearing in London films which Asher directs. They _had been friends for several years. Her marriage to William Seiter, also a director, was ended in April by a divorce granted in Riga, Latvia. = Asher was once engaged to Mary Astor, Hollywood star. Ontario Loses Mulock FEstate Upheid In Dispute Over Succession Duty . London, Eng. -- The Province of Ontario lost its appeal to the privy council in a battle involving the liab- ility of a $250,000 settlement to suc cession duty The appeal was against a decision of the Ontario Supreme Court in fav- or of Gordon Perry of 'Toronto exec- utor of the estate of Cawthra Mulock. The latter made a- settlement of $250, med that at death this passed on for the purpose of succession duty, Dismissing the appeal with costs, the supreme tribunal of the Empire declared ft failed because the settler's covenant or transfer in this instance "had in it no element of gift or boun- ty and is therefore in no way caught by the succession duty act."

Doctor Fears Fast: Modern Life . Will Lead Cleveland--A conclusion by Dr. George W, Crile of Cleveland that 'the eventuaM extinction of mankind may result from present "high-speed living" is disclosed in a book publish- ed recently by him, The danger, Dr. Crile asserts, arises from the tendney of civilization, especially "high-strung" modern life, to stimulate too frequently and too powerfully the thyroid and adrenal glands, the brain, and their inter- con- necting nerves, Under such conditions, he holds, this group of organs, termed the kinetic system, is apt to become over- developed and hyper-sensitive, and then tend to dominate the entire body LJ Ll to Man's Extinction destructively. : " Just as the Irish elk became ex- tinct presumably because evolutionary processes developed its horns so large that the last generation no longer support them, so Dr. Crile believes that the human animal is threatened with over-dévelopment of its kinetic | system, especially the thyroid gland and the brain, : In his book entitled "Diseases Pe: culiar to Civilized Man," Dr, Crile offer a vast amount of evidence to support an assertion that "it would appear that the brain and the thy- roid gland are undergoing a progres- sive evolution owing to the operation "of the principle of orthogenesis." out her neck.
