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.

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."

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.

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 .

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.
