‘BELIEVE IT OB NOT,' RIPLEY IS TO TOUR WORLD Times Feature Originator Will Search for New, True Wonders. The longer Robert Ripley produces his famous feature, “Believe It or Not,” appearing daily in The Times, the more fanatical he becomes for accuracy. just has sailed for a tour of Africa and the scenes of some of his more astounding exhibits. It will be a “verification" trip. Ripley is as skeptical as his most amazed fan There are so many authentically eye-poping wonders in the world that he guards constantly against drawing or describing what is merely hearsay or legend. Accompanied by a secretary and a brace of movie cameras, he will thoroughly examine scores of the dark continent’s wonders, geologic, physiological, meteorological—or merely illogical. Rumors reach “the connoisseur of the incredible”—weird, exciting and at first blush unbelievable rumors—probably in greater numbers than they come to any one else on earth. That’s why he must spend a great deal of his time in travel. Some of these, some of the seemingly incredible rumors prove true. Ripley must find which ones. Sphinx No Sphinx He has heard that there is a man near Meknes, Morocco, who is fairhared and blue-eyed, although he is a native of the country. He is rumored to be a direct descendant of the ancident white race which anthropologists believe may have inhabited Africa ages ago. Ripley wjl visit Meknes and the man, to discover whether the man is merely an albino or whether he is a figment of tall-tale-telling travelers. He has heard that in Tunis there is a house which harbors four brothers who talk a language peculiar to themselves and who are able to make themselves understood to their countrymen only by signs. They were supposed to have forgotten their native speech at the time they entered manhood and to have developed anew and unknown tongue with which they could converse together. Ripley will have a long talk with all four. He will also look into the Sphinx, which he has excellent grounds to believe Is not a Sphinx at all, but the old Egyptian sun-god Harmachis, god of social intercourse and talk. Hotel Under Seine There is the popular conception of the Turkish half-moon, too, which will probably be exploded in “Believe It or Not.” It isn’t a half-moon at all, Ripley suspects, but the sign of the victorious scimitar. If it is a moon, why is it depicted lying down, in a posture the moon never assumes in Turkish latitudes? He is interested, too, in checking up the whisper that the United States had the emblem of Fascism on coins long before Mussolini’s day and continues with the sign of the “fasces”—the ax and the bundle of sticks on the reverse side. In Italy he will check up on the origin of the Fascist emblem, and see whether Mussolini can be charged with plagiarism. How about the man of Biiska, too, w r ho is supposed to have lived for 107 years on a diet of white clay and rainwater, who, rumor alleges, looks like a youth of 20 to this day? Ripley wants a look and a picture and a go at him with a sketchbook. The steamship Roma of the N. G. I. line will take him to Gibraltar. His itinerary from then on will include Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakech, Meknes, Fez, Ujca, Lemclen, Araix, Algiers, Constantine. Biskra, Batna, Tunis, Palermo, Syracuse, Alexandria, the Holy Land, Istambul, through Europe and home. He w r ants particularly to see about that hotel which he has heard exists under the Seine in Paris. Then, w r ith bulging notebooks, he will be ready for another season of surprises.

CUTS SILK HOSE BILLS IN TWO A New York fashion expert has found a simple, easy method to double the wear of silk hose and undergarments. These articles, worn next to the skin, wear out doubly fast because of the perspiration and other body excretions which soften and rot the silk. This lady found that soap and water were inadequate for washing such articles. She recommends when washing silks to add a tablespoonful of Energine to every quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash and rinse as usual. This method not only cleans thoroughly and quickly but makes silks like new with revived colors and pleasing freshness. The difference in results over the use of soap and water alone will amaze you. It means longer life—real economy. Energine is unexcelled also for quickly removing all dirt and grease spots from dresses, hats, gloves and ties. Large can 35 cents at any drug store .—Advertisement.

6IVE STATES GRAZING LAND, REPORT URGES % Garfield Commission Gives Its Findings to Hoover After 18 Months’ Stik y. By United Press 0 WASHINGTON, March 9.—The troublesome question of what to do with nearly 180,000,000 acres of government land in twenty-eight western states was answered today in the Garfield commission report made public at the White House. The vast tracts, used largely for grazing, should be turned back to the states as rapidly as possible if the states want them, according to the conclusions of the committee on conservation and administration of the public domain. It was one of Mr. Hoover’s favorite commissions, appointed eighteen months ago to look into the question. The United Press was informed that the administration indorses the report in general. Mr. Hoover is preparing to submit it to congress at the December session in order that necessary legislation may be considered. If the stages fail to ad on the offer of the property within their boundaries during the next ten years, the President would be authorized to issue an executive order setting aside such land as national ranges. The federal government would retain the known minerals in the land at the time of the transfer,
