Germany Buying Many More Luxuries Since Stabilization of Marl
Bankers
Excessive Imports of Fruits Leads to Protests of Bankers
Berlin, May 5 (U. P.)—Germany's monthly imports of southern fruits, heretofore classified as luxuries, amounted to more than $3,000,000.
This fact, revealed by the National Statistical Office, has led to protests of banks and business houses against the utilization of foreign currencies, so badly needed by industry in general, for payments of this nature.
Stabilization of the mark broach with it a certain wave of spending for luxuries which, since the war, continually been lacking in Ger many.
As a result, markets are now overflowing with oranges, tangerines, lemons, dates, bananas, pineapples and the like. Part of this import came from Italy, but about twice as much arrived from Spain.
The fact that the Spanish fruit-growing business is so heavily favored is being criticized in business quarters, since Spain has introduced certain anti-dumping duties in order to bar German wares.
German food prices are still continuing at a high level. Coffee, butter and vegetables are 100 per cent higher than before the war, while eggs are more than 200 per cent pre-war level. Clothing and eating accessories, but rents are gradually being placed on the pre-war basis.
Season's First Straw Eludes Hungry Horse
Unemployment is gradually disappearing; building trades report considerable construction, especially of the large buildings in the outskirts of the bigger cities.
The prize steward of Lawrence sniffed the air of Massachusetts street expectantly, appreciatively, last night. There, moving rapidly along the sidewalk, was the object of his desire—rather premature, it is true, to hear to the soul and mouth of a horse, the first straw hat of the season.
On and on the new chapen sailed its owner, or rather its weaver, blissful oblivious to the many felt- and wood-chd heads about him. The pierce steel quickened his pace, most breathless, he pursued haunt.
But even the prize steed of Lawrence was destined to failure. The two were neck and neck, when it fell that Wiedemann's head was to Drew Wiedemann's, to put envy and shame in the hearts of wearers of its rules. The horse looked at "Wiedemann" with witful eyes, decided to first count the injuries, and gave it up as a bad proposition.
John Bull Shows Delight Over Jolly Old Volcano
The straw, not aware of its nirrur eosema, remained triumphant on the head of its wearer, who was in integrating the merits of a chorey cup.
London, May England at last has an active volcano. And Londons and others are cheerfully paying de pace to witness it in eruption.
The volcano is one of the exhibits of the New Zealand section of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Park, and is an extrocedurally faithful reproduction of the Rotorua Volcano in that Dominion.
Three or four eruptions d'uih delight spectators, and there are continuous pools of molting mud, clouds of lava, and unverrevered columns into the air.
Demonstrations are given how one can cook food in the boiling pools, boil eggs for breakfast and wash eggs without having to pay a gas bill.
"Your Place" Will Be Topic
"Where is your place in the Y. W. C. A."? or "Finding your corner in the Y. W. C. A. work" will be the topic for discussion at the regula Y. W. C. A. meeting Tuesday afternoon. All girls that are interested in committee work and anxious to attend this meeting, meet, and express their choice of committee work for the follewish year.

Banana Shortage Proves Prophecy of Song True
Vienna, May 5—(United Press) —The Kingdom of Hungary has no bananas, either real or of the sing-song variety. A depreciated currency automatically shuts out the fruit itself, and the police have forbidden the singing of "Yea, we have!" on the ground that it is immoral.
The Hungarian who translated the song into his native tongue gave it a few suggestive touches of his own, with the result that one good American song has been refused immigration privileges into Hungary.
The police of Vienna, apparently not being particularly interested in the banana trade, have raised no objection to the introduction of a new varieties of bananas.
New Calendar Proposed
Year of 13 Months Considered by League of Nations
(By Selence Service)
Washington, May 5.—Reform of the calendar, with a year to consist of 13 months of four weeks each with one "extra day", was advocated by a resolution passed by the American Meteorological Society in recent session here. The change was urged by Dr. C. P. Marvin, Chief of the U.S. Meteorological Department that it would simplify the collection and study of weather data.
"The whole question of the rerun of the calendar is before a special committee of the League of Nations, and the resolution approved by two of its members, is to notify the League committee of the society's action," said Doctor Marvin. "January 1, 1928, is been tentatively chosen as the most favorable time on which to start the work of the league years before the league on Sunday," he continued.
by the proposed calendar every month would be just four weeks long, the same day of every month would be three days a week, and religious and secular days such as Easter and elegy 1 week would always come on the same day of the year. A committee on which all the great religions of the v stern world are represented is now commissioned to Nations committee on this subject.

Scientists Judge Vocal Ability by Use of Curve
Washington, May 8- - How singers who will satisfy masters of music can be selected by music-dance scientists was explained in the American Physical Society meeting here by Douglas Stanley, teacher of voice, and Prof. H. Harton Shelton, of the Department of Physics of New York University.
They described the method by which they claim to have definitively established a relationship between the vocal technique of the singer and ceramic instruments. The electrical apparatus actuated by the singer's voice. By reading these curves it is possible to tell whether or not the voice was being used under proper physiological conditions, and therefore considered satisfactory by a musician.
Use of this method has demonstrated that the old idea of "breath control" is fallacious and that the expulsion of breath should be by the respiratory system and not by those of the respiratory system, the physicians were told.
The curves show breath output plotted against pitch with intensity and vowel constant. These curves are compared with ideal curves.
The Jubilee Singers, a chorus of seven colored men from Kansas City will give a concert at the First Christian church Sunday morning; the choir will be given from 9 until 10 o'clock. The University women's class taught by George O. Foster is having the chorus come, complimentary to the choir. The Jubilee Singers gave a concert at Westminster Hall, during Prayer Week.
