HINGENSURG. HITLER CLASH IN DEATH WAR Duel to Finish to Affect American Policy of Aid to Europe. BY WILLIAM PHILir SIMMS Scrinpa-Howard Forei*n Editor WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.—Washington today viewed with concern v hat appeared to be a duel to the death, declared over the week-end between President Von Hindenburg of Germany and Adolf Hitler, the rebellious Nazi chieftain. American foreign policy, especially that part of it having to do with reparations, war debts, disarmament, the coming world economic parley and world co-operation to restore prosperity, hardly can fail to be affected. Hitler's ultimatum to Von Hindenburg, demanding nothing less than "precircly the same powers exercised by Mussolini after his march on Rome," and the German president's emphatic "no!" are seen here as bringing Germany to a perilous impasse. If Hitler barks down and accepts the subordinate cabinet post* tendered, his almost hypnotic power over his fire-eating followers almost certainly will be gone forever. Bloodshed Seems Likely He has risen to leadership by playing the roaring lion and eating his meat, raw. Now to be led about like a lamb and sip milk from Hindenburg's palm would likely cost him that leadership. On the other hand, if Kindenburg weakens and accepts Hiller as his chancellor on Hitler's terms, like King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, he must accept eclipse behind the glazing and consuming sun of another Mussolini. . It, looks here as if Germany may find escape difficult short of either a Facist or Junker dictatorship, possibly accompanied by bloodshed. No party, not even the Hitlerites with their 230 seats, has a majority in the new reichstag, and nobody yet has been able to figure out a coalition which would yield one. Troops Arp in Readiness Furthermore, observers agree that Hitler probably has reached his high water mark in popular votes. Hr gained little or nothing in the latest reichstag elections over the preceding presidential elections. New elections, therefore, probably would not help him at all. It is feared Hitler may sense a necessity for quick action, lest future events weaken his position. President Hindenburg is reported ready to meet any emergency. He has some 500.000 men under arms and in reserve. The reichstag number 100,000, and are probably the best-trained body of troops in the world. In addition there are 80,000 schutzpolizei, or militray police, and 63,000 forest, customs, railway and river guards, plus approximately 200,000 reserves graduated from the above units. Europe in Hot Water Hitler’s brown shirts number every bit as many. Then there is that vast, unknown quantity in the guise of the 3,000.000 veterans of the World war, 1.500.000 of whom are young and well trained for the field. Many of the.se are known to be either ardent Hitlerites or in favor of any regime promising a return of the "good old times" under the Hohenzollerns. Germany is keeping all Europe in hot water and retarding recovery. France particularly is alarmed. Today Germany is divided against herself. But tomorrow France fears, she might be united under Hitler or some other reactionary, and ready for further adventures on the French side of the Rhine. Herriot Warns France Sunday, at the frontier fortress of Metz, Premier Herriot praised President Hoover's disarmament proposals, but warned his countrymen to "remain vigilant.’’ On a pacified Germany depends arms reduction and limitation, and the settlement of all those problems growing out of the World war, including reparations and war debts. On a pacifiic Germany, therefore, to a large extent depends America's policy of co-operation abroad.

COUNTRY DANCES ARE •NOT SO INNOCENT’ So Says Judge in Ordering Close Watch on Affairs. By United Pri ss HERKIMER. N. Y.. Aug. 15. —‘The country dances of fifteen or twenty years ago when serious youths piloted blushing young maidens to the tunes of the latest two-step or the more daring rhythm of the then popular ‘Alexander's Rag Time Band” might have been innocent enough fun. declared Judge Arnold Blumberg. but not so the country dances as conducted these days. The judge recently sent a letter to each supervisor in the various towns and cities in Herkimer county stating that many of the cases of juvenile delinquency among young girls resulted from improperly conducted country dances. He said that in many cases liquor was sold to minors. “I honestly believe,” said the judge, "that conditions which exist at the public dances in the country hamlets, in a great degree tear rioWfc the moral standards of the young people.” PUT LIGHTS ON ROADS Small Reflectors Are Placed on State Highways.

Threat of Doom Hangs Over Crumbling Glory of Peiping

Ancient Wonder City Periled by Greedy Hands of Japanese. Hu \ FA Xercire WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Peiping—ancient China's gateway between the mountain* and the sea. from whose imperial palaces for centuries came edicts that made nearly one-fourth of the human race tremble and obey—is In the news again, as an invasion by the Japanese threatens. Rightfully, perhaps, it Is called “one of the wonder cities of the world.” But, in a modern sense.

this description hardly is accurate. Only the crumbling grandeur of the long dead centuries that saw its mighty power remains; the great palaces from which emperors reigned in bygone eras now are mere museums housing their priceless treasures of carved jade and ivory, bronzes twenty-five centuries old and Chinese paintings drawn by hands that wielded the brush before the days of Christ. Decadent since

the revolution that swept the emperors from power when the Chinese Republic was established in 1911, Peiping has lost even more since the republic transferred the nation’s capital to Nanking in 1928. In the past few

Spur That Jaded Appetite by Taking Some of Our Syllabub

You Can Try a Few Sparrow Dumplings If That Doesn’t Register. FF you have cows in your pantry and isinglass in ..your kitchen cabinet and don't know what to do j with them, visit the central public library of Indianapolis. There, in a glass case, you’ll find out that a ‘'syllabub'' isn't a diphthong with its fingers crossed, but a custard of ye olde English style, that your pantry cow—not of the canned variety—is the only method of making good “syllabub,” and that there are just pages upon pages of good recipes for wines made out of cowslips, sycamore trees, gingers and lemons. Sounds dizzy, doesn't it? But it wasn't dizzy back in the seventeenth century, for under that glass case in the main foyer of the libra’ry are withered cook-books of the days when a “bride's pye" meant a delicacy and violets were used for making cakes. The books, bequeathed to the library by Wright Marble, late steward of the old Bates house—the hotel where the Clavpool now stands —are crowded with odd dishes and odder drinks. a an BUT back to the isinglass and the ‘syllabub" and their culinary uses in 1771, as purveyed in the yellowed pages of “The Experienced English Housekeeper,” by Elizabeth Raffald. A “syllabub,” as we had you know, is a custard, and the recipe for a “syllabub under the cow” Is distinctly passe for those living in two-by-four kitchenettes. But here's the recipe if you wish to try it on your Bossy: “Put a bottle of strong beer and a pint of cyder (the y means yeast, pep. alcoholic content higher than Volstead) into a punch bowl, grate in a small nutmeg and sweeten to your taste, then as much milk (get this, for it's the whole syllabub to this one) from the cow as will make a strong froth and the ale look clear: let it stand an hour, then strew in a few currants, then send to the table." Now’ if that doesn't tickle your 1932 palate, how about some "Blomage of Isinglass?” BUM FIRST, you “boil the isinglass in a quart of water until it is reduced to a pint." That sounds easy, if you've got good, fresh isinglass. but listen to the rest of the recipe: "Add whites of eggs, rice

dead, Peiping today is a city of barbaric splendor, faded but still existent. The sun glistens on the flat yellow roofs of its one-story buildings, its streets teem with camels, heavily laden burros and men in the curious garb of the ancient world. Its palaces draw their quota of curious tourists. Surrounding the city is a high wall and within the city is another wall—purple in color—which girdles the nest of ancient palaces.

Pal’s Death Fails to Halt Woman’s Jump in Chute

Pupil Is Killed in Balloon Tragedy at Delphi Picnic Ground. Death of Mrs. Edna Huggins, 28, Indianapolis, in a fall from a balloon at Delphi Saturday did not deter Mrs. Ethel Pritchett, who taught Mrs. Huggins parachute jumping, from carrying out a Sunday afternoon engagement at Riverside park and she floated down in a parachute from a balloon after it attained a height of sseveral hundred feet. Many persons in the crowd at the park expressed admiration for Mrs. Pritchett's courage. Mrs. Huggins, w’ife of Charles Huggins, made a descent a month ago at Riverside while blindfolded and handcuffed. She was employed by the O. E. Ruth Amusement Company. Ruth is a balloonist, and during his active days was known as “Mile Hign.' A balloon which carried Mrs. Huggins aloft at a Carroll old settlers’ celebration at Delphi, failed for some undetermined reason to rise more than 400 feet. Unable to use her parachute, due to the law altitude, Mrs. Huggins clung to a bar until the balloon was about 100 feet up, and fell. Broken baek, arms and legs and internal injuries were incurred by Mrs. Huggins, who was conscious for a few minutes before death came.

However, the pictures went no nearer Hollywood than the hawkers' paradise on South State street and several of the duped damsels reported the affair to police. A raid on the "professor s” apartment revealed a sideline. In addition to a large number of photos, peepholes were discovered in the wall, where favored men spectators had been allowed to watch the posing.

It lies in the path of the Japanese conquest in Manchuria. Most of the banks ancT lar„v.r business houses are operated by foreigners, though there are countless small native shops. There was a city on the site of Peiping 1.200 years before Christ. It first became the capital of the kingdom of Yau. In 936 it was captured by the Tartars. The Chinese took it again about 1200, but a century later the Tartars recaptured it. Ghenghis Khan, famed Mongol conqueror, took the city in his day and his equally famous grandson, Kublai Khan, rebuilt it and made it his capital. Then came the Ming dynasty, next the Manchus, and lastly the republic. The latter moved the capital to Nanking and Peipin's ancient glory faded.

LINK CONVICT'S PAL TO KILLING OF GIRL HERE Companion of Earl Hiatt to Be Arrested as Sec- % ond Bandit. Inquiry into the slaying of Miss Margaret Lela Byers, 17, West Newton high school girl, is expected to be closed w'ith the arrest of a companion of Earl Hiatt, Terer Haute, rum runner and ex-convict. Hiatt, suffering from a serious gunshot wound. Is confined to a hospital at Princeton, Ind. He has been identified as one of two bandits who are said to have obtained $76 in a holdup shortly before the slaying of Miss Byers on the High School road near West Tenth street Wednesday night. Denying the robbery, Hiatt asserts he was wounded during a hijacking fight near Springfield, 111. Herman Voight, R. R. 2, Box 419F, fired a shotgun bringing death to Miss Byers and seriously wounding her escort, Kenneth Perkins, 19. near Clermont, who is reported in a favorable condition today at city hospital. Funeral services for Miss Byers were held Saturday at West Newton. Authorities, holding a theory that Voight fired in the belief that the two holdup men were his targets, stated no slaying charge will be filed against him or any other person.

RULING TO BAN CITY PROPOSAL Sunday Closing Ordinance Be Called Illegal. With the 1933 city budget not ready for consideration, the city council tonight will consider ordinances introduced in earlier meetings, establishing new regulations for th euses of fumigating gas and prohibiting Sunday operation of grocery stores. Two weeks remain until the last meeting at which the council can approve the city’s financial program to be submitted by William Elder, city controller. Passage of the Sunday closing ordinance appears improbable in view of an opinion which will be presented to the council by Herbert Spencer, assistant city attorney, that the proposed measure is unconstitutional. An old state law on Sunday business prevents the city ordinance, because of the state law that municipalities can not legislate on matters covered by state law. The regulatory measure on use of fumigating gas was introduced by the council safety committee at the behest of the police and fire departments. It provides that at least 30 per cent of warning gas must be included in the hydro-cyanic mixture used for exterminating rodents.

RADIO IS LIKELY TO REPLACE CITY GAMEWELL TAPE Fire Department Broadcast Plant Is Predicted for Future Here. A radio announcer's voice may replace' the Gamewell system ticker tape and bell signal now used in dispatching the fire department to fires in the future, if plans considered by safety board members are consummated. The present Gamewell system is obsolete and has been attacked frequently by the fire insurance underwriters’ board, but the cost of anew Gamewell system, several hundred thousand dollars, is prohibitive for the present, according to board members. Accordingly, when the present system reaches tne point where it will not function, it may become necessary to build a fire department radio station similar to that in use by the police department, said Charles R. Myers, board president. Install Receiving Set Radio receiving sets tuned to the wave frequency of the police radio station are being installed in the cars of Fire Chief Harry E. Voshcll and the four battlaion chiefs. This enables them to be informed of all fire alarms 'n the city, regardless ol what section they may happen to be visiting at the time. A number of cities throughout the country now depend entirely on radio for dispatching fire trucks to the scene of fires, Myers said. Sets in All Fire Stations As soon as funds are available, it is planned to install police radio sets in all fire stations in the city, lie added. This will serve as a protection in case the present Gamewell system and telephone lines should be damaged by a storm. Also, he said, it will be a valuable aid to the police department in the apprehension of criminals and stolen cars, as firemen would form a volunteer police force, being able to inform police if vehicles or persons resembling those sought happened to pass any of the fire stations, giving the direction being followed by the criminals.

WEST COAST FOREST HISTORY IS TRACED Tree Types Growing in U. S. Millions of Years Ago Found in Andes. F.y Science Srrrire WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. Millions of years ago, California and Oregon were forested with trees unlike those now found there. A Carnegie institution of Washington expedition has found on the slopes of the Venezuelan Andes the liv.ng close relatives of ancient trees of western America. Professor Ralph W. Chaney of the University of California and Dr. Erling Dorf of Princeton university, by traveling into South and Central America, were able to see a picture of what the ancient forests of America's west coast must have looked like millions of years ago before there were human eyes to see them. Their discovery upholds the theory that forests that once existed in North America were pushed south as the climate became increasingly cold and dry. . Leaf prints of the ancient west coast trees are found as fossils in the rocks of today.

The boys, 12 and 13, are in the detention home facing charges of juvenile delinquency. Detectives who examined the notes, left in the mailbox at the Montani home, expressed the belief before the arrest that the letters w’ere the work of pranksters. Crudely lettered on heavy paper, the first note demanded payment of $50,000. but that sum had been scratched out and reduced to SI,OOO. Further investigation resulted in the arrest of the boys, who readily admitted waiting the notes, detectives said.
