JAPANESE DIPLOMATS CONFER WITH RUSSIAN Parleys in Peking May Lead to Accord and Recognition of Soviet Government. By the Associated Press. PEKING, - August 9.—Conferences looking to- re-establishment of diplo- matic relations were resumed here yesterday by representatives of the Japanese and the Russian Soviet gov- ernments. The Japanese ~Minister, Kenkichi Yoshizawa, who has just returned from Tokio, was reported to have placed before the Russian Ambassa- dor, L. M. Karakhan, a definite out- line of the basis on which Japan is prepared to evacuate Saghalien, which has proved a stumbling block 'in_the negotiations between the two coun- tries. It is understood that the Japanese Minister urged upon M. Karakhan the desirability of an early agreement, pointing out that otherwise the pro- posed evacuation could not be made effective before the closing in of the early Winter in the Siberian island. Conversations between the two diplomats will be held practically daily hereafter under present plans. At least three days will be taken up with presentation of the Russian position. Dispatches from Tokio two weeks ago stated that the Japanese cabinet had agreed on a new policy toward Russia, particularly in regard to i Saghalien concessions, which, it was eventual Soviet would lead recognition government. MAN WHO KILLED WIFE, SONS AND SELF INSANE Removal of Thyroid Gland in Op- eration 20 Years Ago Blamed for Tragedy. to the believed, of By the Associated Press BUFFALO, N. Y., August 9.—Tem- porary insanity, brought on by a nervous disorder resulting from “the removal of the thyroid gland 20 years ago, was the cause of the Lyon tragedy on Claremont avenue early yesterday, Medical Examiner Charles E. Long stated, after issulng death certificates for the four victims of the crime. Dr. Long issued a death cer- tificate of suicide for Henry H. Lyon, and homicide certificates for his wife, Agnes Rogers Lyon, and the children. Roger. aged nine, and Heinry. aged five. The crazed man, the medical ex- aminer believes, first shot his wife dead as she slept, and then killed the twe children. He retired to his own room and shot himself, dying two hours later in the hospital. Lyon, an autopsy today showed, had been operated upon vears ago for goitre. % ““The operation,” Dr. Leng said, “made it necessary to remove the thyroid gland and les removal left him in a neurotic condition. His physical condition and his advancing Vears evidently brought on melan- ¢holy, which he carefully concealed from his family and friends. No other theory than that of insan- ity was advanced by Medical Ex- aminer Long. He questioned rela- tives and friends and learned that Lyon's family affairs were happy and that he had no financial difficultics. A e ARTILERY OF GUARD | SEEKS FULL STRENGTH Maj.

Chairman Butler of the Republican national committee yesterday accepted the plan of selection of R®publican electors in Wisconsin as proposed by Robert M. La Follette, jr., chairman of the Republican State committee of ‘Wisconsin. In a letter replying to the proposal of Mr. La Follette to list in the Re- publican column in Wisconsin the electors pledged to Coolidge and Dawes, despite nominal control of the ticket by the La Follette group, Mr. Butler wrote: “It will be fair and honorable for those who are described by you as Wisconsin progressives to ald in placing on the Republican ticket electors. who are stalwart Coolidge and Dawes men, and I feel certain they will so act. “The fair execution of this plan is the action which will meet with the approval of the voters of Wisconsin regardless of party afliations.” STUDEBAKER Just Drive It; That's All D. C, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 MAN FIRST TO DON CLOTHING| SEEKS U. S. SPOUSE Garments Indicated Rank and Importance, With Protective Feature of Seg:omiary Importance . to Ancients, Research Shows. “Another pet theory must be con- signed to the rag-bag along with grandmother’s black bombazine. Just because Chicago’s Winter slush orlgl- nated the unfastened goloshes, or the water-logged marshes of Holland made Fritzle Dutchman take to wooden shoes, not all clothes arose from the necessity of protection against the weather,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the Natlonal Geographic Society. “In fact, fashion has nearly always defled geography, and the flappers of F street or Broadway, in their chiffon hose and satin pumps in the midst of a January blast, or those who brave the rays of a July sun in furs, are simply displaying atavistic tenden- cies, for clothes were first worn in warm and semi-tropical countries. Garments Insignia of Ramk. “Man first adorned himself in gar- ments to parade his position or rank before less fortunate individuals, who were content and thoroughly modest in a G-string or a headband. Concef- tions of modesty came along later with more highly civilized conditions. “With the donning of many gar- ments to show rank, there also grew up the idea of adapting the garments to the materials readily available. The Turkoman, for instance, probably likes his tall, shaggy sheepskin shako, but he also wears this variety of hat because it is one which the great plains of Russian Central Asia easily afford. “Current history nearly always has Influenced the ornamentation of the body or of the costume, as typified by the sphinx-caps worn by’ the later Egyptians and the Tut-ankh-Amen and mah-jong dresses in vogue within e last year or two. S prom & scientific standpoint, how. ever, clothing and ornamentation of the body were the same in the be- ginning, and though climate during civilized times has had a marked in- fluence on determining the weight and warmth of the clothing worn in various localities, we have one marked example today of the fact that climate and geography were not the determining factors in the evo- lution of dress. The Arabs, who live within or in the immediate vicinity of the torrid zone, swath themselves in heavy flowing farments, while the in- habitants of Tierra del Fuego, Where the climate is cold, rainy and dis- agreeable, attach by cords across their bodies the skin of one animal which they shift from one side to the other with the direction of the wind. When Clothing Meant “Style.” “In the early days when quantity of clothes meant rank and style, the desire ‘to keep up with the Jones' probably led some individuals to wear so many garments that they were weakening _and deteriorating, for Crosesus, who was the Rockefeller of his day, dissertated at length on the vice which was overtaking some of his acquaintances in a letter to his friend Cyrus the Great of Persia. “One student of costumes of all ages has cleverly divided the devel- opment of clothing into two classes— the tropical, based on the girdle, and the Arctic, based on the tromsers, but even these divisions have their com- plexities, for the trouser may have Been a downward development of the waistband. The Greeks, and Romans got a 'kick’ out of the fact that the northern barbarians against whom they fought wore trousers. It imme- diately became a new item which they added to their fashion notes. Trousered Women Cited. “But the girdle-trouser classifica- tion has some other confusing points —both the men and women wore them. This is still exemplified in the Eskimo and Chinese trousered women of today. “As the countries developed and boundary lines became fixed, the na- tional character of the peoples got busy on their cogtumes, and we find the Spaniard with a stiff ruff about his neck and broad wings on his dou- blet, the German wdth bizarre slash- ings on his coat and sleeves, the Dutchman in somber black, and the Venetian in long flowing garments. Out of such human frailties and foi- bles, mixed with national pride, spiced with climate, and, steamed with the imagination of modern modistes, were cooked up the varied and picturesque costumes of the world tocay. Heedless of Climate. “And even the men of America, who profess to dress comfortably to suit the weather, still show one lingering trace of the age-old heedlessness of climate. Though the sun is shining down with its some time Autumn re- lentlessness and the good straw which has served faithfully is still in its prime, September 15 is felt hat day. The Japanese men are just as bad Summer comes in Japan on June 1, and on that day regardless of the temperature, the Tokio policeman bursts forth in all the glory of white coat and hat. “The Vlach of the Balkans also shows a similar disregard for climate in apother way. In January, Feb- ruary, June and July, he wears his heavy homespun garments, nor does he discard them at night. He shuts his windows to keep out the ‘danger- ous’ night air and rolls himself, clothes and all, in heavy blankets and sleeps. But he manifests a contrariness prob- ably unexcelled by men of any other clime. When caught away from home this same salamander will sleep in the open on the side of one of his beloved mountains with only a rug to cover him.” — VIRGINIA SCHOOLS GAIN. State Education Supervisors Visit 895 Communities in Year. RICHMOND, Va., August 9.—De- velopment ‘of ‘the educational system of Virginia is reflected in the in- creasing number of calls upon the State department of education for assistance, Dr. W. T. Sanger, secre- tary of the board of education, stated in announcing 895 visits to cities and counties were made by department supervisors during the past year. This figure represents an increase of 176 visits over the previous year. In 1921, he said, 572 visits were made by the supervisors. Last year the supervisors visited every county and city in the State, with the exception of " Highland and Danville. This county and city were visited by other officials of the department.

He married a second time and has two children living here. Campbell's attorney said he was separated from his first wife 11 years ago and shortly afterward obtained a divorce from her in Omaha. Woman in Switzerland Without Country Due to American Im- migfation Laws. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924. ROME, August 9.—Juliette Krivo- chel of Geneva, Switzerland, one of the hundreds of European women de- serted by American husbands, has ap- pealed for aid in finding her spouse, Conrad Maron of Philadelphia. This case in especially distressing because under the new American citizenship laws, she is literally a woman with- out a country. According to the municipal records of Geneva, she married Maron, March 7, 1923. He is described in the record as without.a profession and as hav- ing been divorced in March, 1911. She comes of a good Russian family, which now is impoverished. According to her statement, after traveling together for several months during which Maron spent money freely, he disappeared and no trace of him since has been found. The girl faces beggary. By marrying a foreigner she lost her citizenship, but did not become a citizen of Amer- ica. Citizenship is given to foreign wives of American citizens only after a year of residence in the .United States, which they must enter as im- migrants under the quota regula- tions. Not being an American she cannot claim the protection of good offices of the American consulate and cannot, without great difficulty, re- gain her former citizenship. The ex- istence of hundreds or perhaps thou- sands of such women in Europe is becoming a serious charitable and legal problem. MARYLAND TO RAISE INCENSE CEDAR TREES Species Common to Pacific Coast Under Experiment at College Park Nurseries. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 9.—The State forestry department will attempt to raise, at its College Park nurseries, a specles of evergreen known as in- cense cedar, which is indigenous only to the Pacific Coast, according to As- sijstant State Forecaster J. A. Cope. Two specimens of the tree are growing in Maryland on an estate near West River post office, Anne Arundel County.. The trees, according to Mr. Cope, were sent here 35 years ago, when they were several inches tall. In 35 years they have grown to a height of 65 feet, and measure 2% feet in diameter. Exceptional growth of the trees leads to the be- lief that the species may _thrive throughout Maryland lowlands, Mr. Cope said. The forestry department will at- tempt to raise the trees from seed. and distribute them throughout the State if the experiment is successful, he stated. / Approximately 202,000 trees will be available for distribu- tion in Maryland this Fall from the State nurseries. Inventory is now being made of the nursery to deter- mine trees to be distributed. At least seven new varieties of trees will be available this year, including scarlet oaks, pecans, cypresses, wil- low oaks, Scotch pines, short-leaf pines and red pines. In all, about 30 varieties will be distributed, includ- ing both forest and shade trees. GERMAN DIVORCES GROW. Double in Ten Years—Husbands Mostly at Fault. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 9.—Divorce is steadily on the increase in Germany, according to recent statistics, which show that the number of legal sep- arations being granted now is virtu- ally double the amount of ten years ago. Infidelity was the cause of 53 per cent of the divorces in Germany last year, the men being to blame in the greater number of cases, according 1o court records.

The 3d" Regiment of Artillery came into being following the Revolution- ary War. It was recruited among the veterans of that war for service against the Indians in the conquest of the West. Routed Mexiean Troops. It first became prominent among fighting units February 22-23, 184 at the battle of Buena Vista. Gen. Santa Ana, commanding the Mexican forces, had swept all_American re- sistance before him. Without infan- try to support him, and at the ex- pense of losing his own guns, Capt Bragg, then commanding “The Fight- ing 2d,” brought his troops into ac- tion with a withering charge of can- ister. The first charge halted the Mexican advance. The smoke from the second and third salvos cleared away with the Mexicans in rout Thus the regi- ment won its present motto, “Saved the day,” which was conferred upon it by Gen. Zachary Taylor following the ‘engagement. Through the War of 1812 and in the Florida peninsula campaigns the regiment served the colors creditably In the California campaigns it was present at Monterey, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Buena Vista and the final en- gagement at Molino del Rey. It was present when the opening gun of the war was fired at Palo Alto May 3, 1846, and took part in all major en- gagements. ‘Went ‘Around Horn. December 21, 1853, five batteries of the 3d Artillery embarked from the East Coast for station in California, via Cape Horn, aboard the steamer San Francisco. Of the 600 souls aboard 500 were men of the 3d. On the day before Christmas the San Francisco struck a nor'wester that completely disabled her and during which 175 men were lost overboard A week later assistance was rendered the derelict by the American ships Kilby and Thrée Bells and the British sloop of war Antarctic. The latter vessel carried 142 survivors to Liver- Pool, the first American troops to land in England. After a year's trials and misfor- tunes the 3d was again assembled and arrived in California, where it was actively engaged in marching and scouting until the outbreak of the Civil War, when its history was marked with distinction. It served at the memorable cap- ture of Manila, P. I, during the Spanish-American War, and was broken up into separate companies in 1901 to form the Artillery Corps of the Army. Parts of the famous 3d saw action on all the fronts of France during the World War. Hour of Music by Radio.
