AERIAL PULLMAN IS LATEST PLAN British Engineers Consider Demountable Body, LONDON, May 18— Plans for an aerial pullman are being examined by British aircraft authorities. A great, slim, metal saloon, like a long, tapering Pullman car is the basis of the idea. It will run on ordinary railway tracks and will be backed into a railway station to receive its passengers. When they are aboard an engine will take it to an aerodrome, where it will be bolted to an airplane chassis and will shed the car wheels. When the plane arrives at its destination the process will be reversed.

0. S. SEES LEAHS IN MIGRATION Cheap Labor Comes Through Mexican Border, WASHINGTON, May 18.—An influx of cheap foreign labor, especially from Mexico and China is being considered at a conference of Secretary Davis and officials of the Immigration Service. Methods of guarding the Mexican border more closely were gone over, and reports that European Immigrants were finding easy access to this country through Cuba were under discussion. Within nine months, Secretary Davis said, more than 40,000 Mexicans had entered the United States, most of them finding their way to the Michigan sugar beet fields. Although their entry was legal, he said, only a few of them paid the $8 head tax required. One of the measures to be employed as a result of today’s conference will be a stringent application of this tax. In the same period, Mr. Davis said. 62,000 Canadians had crossed the Northern border, hut the tax had been collected from all of them. Employment agencies have been busy in Mexico for some time recruiting laborers for the United States, Labor Department reports indicate, and ihe entry of many Chinese has ! been noted. The Chinese, it is said, i come is as seamen with permission to remain sixty days. These "seamen" have been recruited as laborers and have been absorbed in the country's population. An investigation has been begun to determine tho basis of reports that | Europeans have found it possible to obtain quick naturalization In Cuba and certain Central American countries, and come immediately to the United States. Immigration quoto re- I strlctions do not apply to countries j of the Western Hemisphere.

SWISS ASH FOR CAT MONOPOLY Syndicate Would Buy Million Each Year, LAUSANNE. May IS. —An exclusive concession for the export of Angora cats was proposed to the Turkish government today through Ismet Pasha by a Swiss syndicate. The syndicate figures it can buy 1.000,000 pure blood Angora cats annually at less than $1 each and sell them in America, England and elsewhere for at least S6O each. The syndicate wishes to know what terms ihe Turkish government will demand for an exclusive concession and also whether It would conflict with tiie Chester concession on account of the complete exploitation right twenty kilometers on each side of the Chester lines. "It is true there are more cats In Angora than there are stones on the street, said Shukri Bey, .1 leading Turk. "The same is true throughout Anatolia. It is probably true that Anatolia could export 1.000,060 cats annually, but we fear the price of cats will rise tremendously In Turkey and the huge supply of cats will break tho market price in America and elsewhere. However, the street cats in Anatolia are the so-called pure blood Angora cats." The inquiry of the syndicate has amazed the Turkish peace delegation, which never realized what a great source of wealth their country possibly has In these street cats In Angora and other Anatolian cities. If 1.000.000 cats are annually exported and the Turkish government receives a. mx of several dollars for every cat. It will balance the State budget. It Is part of the plan to give every cat exported a fine pedigree upon Its leaving its native soil. TRUCK RUNS OFF ROAD Employe of Highway ('ominission Is Injured Internally.

BOSINESS ASKING FOR BRAINY GIRL ‘Forms Won’t Do,' Say Big Employers. NEW YORK, May 18.—While New York theatrical men are clamoring for girls with "forms.” New York business men are clamoring no less insistently for girls with brains. Plenty of the former are available, but there is a distinct shortage of the latter, J. .1. McLaughlin, general manager of the American Employment Exchange, declares. There is more money for the girl with brains in business than there Is for the average show girl, McLaughlin stated. Likewise there is more of a future for the average business girl than there is for the average show girl, he holds. White collar workers are In great demand now due to the expansion in business, he said. The chief need is for capable young women. The era of the girl with brains and business training is here, McLaughlin stated. The girl from out in the country who is ambitious to succeeed in New York no longer need turn her eyes to the girl shows, where shapely ankles ;ind figures count the most, he holds. "Business beckons to her,” McIjiughlln said. Pool Selling Alleged Harry Schonifleld, 520 E.

RUSSIAN BELIEVES U.S. DANCES PROVE, PERPETUAL MOTION Actor Briefs Impressions of America —Millionaires Predominate, By Times Special NEW YORK, May 18.—Nikita. Balieff, funny man of the strange and gorgeous "Chauve Souris,” the Russian vaudeville which has enchanted New York for a year, is leaving America, and offers these as his parting impressions of the customs of the United States: "The main part of your population consists of millionaires,” he says. •‘The balance is made up of ex or future millionaires. Only Russia can hope to compete with America in millionaires. Over there, thanks to the soviet government, every one is a millionaire. “The American newspaper Is superior to the press of the whole world. They often print events %efore they happen. The amazing size of an American Sunday paper! Even If you begin early Sunday morning, you’ll have read only half way through it by nightfall. "It is printed such a huge size with the idea that on Sundays the whole, family drinks its morning coffee home, and in order to prevent any quarrels as to who is to read the paper first, every member of the family takes a certain section of it in turn. If one Sunday you get the theatrical section, next Sunday you will be the first to read the obituary column." Speaking of the dance marathons, Balleff says, “Perhaps Americans are getting the solution of the world-wide problem of perpetual motion.” Commenting on prohibition, he notes that you can always spot an American in a foreign country by his involuntary movement of the hand toward his hip pocket, notwithstanding the ff.rt that there is a bottle of wine standing on the table. "Good-by until September,” says Balleff, but adds, "why should I speak to you in English? Americans are now talking and understanding Russian. That is easy. Merely add to any English word the termination ’off’ or ’ski’ and you get a Russian word. "So —good-byski. My bestski cotnplimentoff to all the Americanski.” Scarves Utilized Suits and short sport jackets mads of gayly striped scarves of the Cumberland type are creating considerable interest. Bright colors softened and attractively harmonized are combined in these shawls and the coats are sometimes made up with the fringe serving as trimming. AMUSEMENTS
