Pavlova is advertising for good homes for five cygnets, progeny of the famous pair of swans which the Russian dancer has in the garden of her home in Hampstead. Pavlova, like all other famous toe-dancers, has always been partial to “The Dance of the Dying Swan,” and for years she has kept swans in the garden of her Lon- don home so she could study their movements. The young swans which Pav- lova is anxious to place in de- sirable homes will not be given away until Autumn, and wiil be “carefully trained.” London newspapers are speculating as to just how one trains a cygnet.

NELLIE ROSS. he possibility wi the woman governor thought first of the business at hand. No politics while the politically-mixed govern- ors of other States are here; consid- eration only for problems of legis- lation and administration from the non-partisan view, was her attitude. Busy With State Affairs. Pressed for an expression on the vice presidential gossip, the gov- ernor replied that her mind had been occupied almost exclusively with the airs of Wyoming. In a State tl is just developing on a large scale, there are many things to be done, and any mistake now would flect generations to come. There was the great problem for Wyoming of w te rights and distribution from this, the water shed of the continent here was the problem of State aid to farmers and livestock men. The governor was vitally inter- ested in the practical details of such problems and in thé political game scarcely at all. It was her old-fash- foned theory of government that affairs should be conducted in the interest of the people as a whole. rather than in lhle interest of those doing the governing. i Tugld that meany Republican poli ticians were privately conceding her re-election, a suspicion of moisture came into the governor's eyes as she said simply and impulsivel “Every one has been generous to me—very kind. Gov. Ross is not political—she re- fused to point,with pride to any administrative accomplishment. Her eyes said “these are my jewels” as they strayed toward a picture of her sons. They were George and Ambrose, 22, twins, an‘d Bradford, 13. George is a next vear's Rhodes scholar from the University of Wyoming. Ambrose is also a “live wire” and Bradford this Sum- mer collected first prize in two broncho busting contests and is slated for a tryout in the great Cheyenne Frontier day's celebration. Career Not Spectacular. As governor, Nellie Ross has done few spectacular things. There was a prohibition enforcement officer or so removed. A game warden and couple of sheriffs went back to private life. The governor wanted State officials to stay sober and en- force prohibition. She vetoed a few bills passed by a Republican Legislature that has since learned to co-operate more with her. Indeed, the Republicans are charging Gov. Ross with a policy of stagnation or do noth- ingism. “A keen, shrewd woman,” gne Re- publican er called her, however. “Popular in a way, too careful a politician to do anytning definite we attack.” ‘A fine governor, a square shooter,” said a noted labor leader. “I didn’t vote for her before—now I will In the Democratic primaries to be held Rugust 17, Gov. Ross has no opposition. Frank C. Emerson, State engineer, and Frank E. Lucas, Sec- retary of State, are contesting for the Republican nomination. The former is the candidate of an official Republican organization which declared against the present primary law and on this issue hinges the election this Fall. It is the Democratic hope that sufficient rural votes will desert the G. O. P. machine on this issue to cause a_Democratic landslide. Gov. Ross herself, with the back- the Primaries and Popular Govern- ment,” the campaign’ battle cry, and with this issue coming up in & na- tional way the Wyoming result will be interesting—may even eventually place a woman in the classic seat of Roosevelt, Marshall and Dawes.

JULY 23, UR GIVES PRESIDE ON NAVAL AIR EXPANSION PLANS Dirigible Three Times Size of Shenandoah Meets . With Executive’s Approval—Arsenal Explo- sion Lessons Are Discussed. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. WHITE PINE CAMP, July 24— Tentative plans for expanding the Naval Afr Service, under the pro- visions of the five-year program au- thorized at the last session of Con- gress, was the principal topic of dis- cussion between President Coolidge and Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, who arrived here today to spend the week end. Later, while discussing his confer- ence with the President, the Navy head said that the cost of putting into effect the aviation development was gone into with some little detail. While he declined to say how much his de- partment planned to expend during the next fiscal year in expansion of the air service, he did reveal the fact that the plans call for the construction of a dirigible of the Shenandoah type, but about three times the size of that afrcraft. He also intimated that the President took very kindly to his proposal, despite the fact that this lighter-than-air craft is estimated to Cost between five and six million dol- lars. Ship Will Use Helium. According to the Secretary the dirigible will be of 6,000,000 cubic feet capacity and will use helium. Tt is intended to have a crusing ability of more than 6,000 miles In discussing the estimates of the Navy for the next fiscal vear incident to the devalopment of the Naval Air Service, the & y took up with the President 1 other important items to be ir in the estimates now in the course of preparation, which will shortly be submitted to the bud get. The Secretary did not indicate the approxi > items nor did he intimate that the President approved or d i them. ceretary swer to ques- tions whether the Navy is planning its aviation expansion to cover the flve- year period authorized by Congress whether it is confining its plans m divulged . at this time, at vance of sub- mitting the preliminary estimates of the Navy Department to the Budget Bureau. Neither would he give any inkling of the size of the preliminary estimates. Munitions Depot Blast. Another subject taken up with the President by the Secretary was the re- cent Lake Denmark disaster. He said he told the Yresident that while the amount of damage resulting from the plosion of the munitions storehouse e Denmark is now being ap- praised by two courts of inquiry, his information leads him to feel that the damage cost will be found consider- ably below the original estimate. He stated that the civil damage to life and property was comparatively small. Secretary Wilbur was not inclined to say for publication whether he favored the proposal to have one big central storage depot for Army and Navy munitions. He stated that isolation of munition depots may have many advantages, but he was not in a position to s at this time whether ‘he would urge | within the abandonment of those depots and arsenals now located adjacent to cen- ters of population. Future of Plant. Whether the Lake Denmark plant is to be completely restored will not be determined until after the courts of inquiry make their reports. He did say, however, that he is advised that it will not be necessary to replace at once the material loss in the ex- plosion. He indicated in this connec- tion that the general staff of the Navy will work out a program as to future replacement of material destroyed by explosives. He said much of this ma- terial was TNT. After showing the President how the Navy Department was planning to spend large sums in developing its aviation, the Secretary then braced the President’s spirits by notifying him that arrangements have been made for the receivers of the Pan- American Petroleum and Transport Co. (the Doheny interests) to turn over to the Treasury\of the United States that part of its receipts in its pos- ssion_which is rightly the property e United States. This means, the v told the President, that the is to be enriched to the ex- tent of $3,500,000 by August 1, and that 0,000 will be paid. into the Treasury each month thereafter. He said that the litigation over the validity of the naval oil leases in question and the question of reim- bursing the Doheny interests is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. Had Fish for Breakfast. Secretary Wilbur arrived at the President’s camp this morning in time for breakfast. The President had placed In front of the Secretary a platter of pan-fried trout ass he and other mem- bers of his camp party had caught the pa hours, Following an hour's conference on | the front piazza of the living cabin, the President and his Secretary of the Navy motored to the executive office at Paul Smiths, The Presi- dent personally conducted this mem- ber of his official family about the rooms and while thus engaged took ‘him to one of the windows facing the lake where he commented on the beauties the view. They then drew chairs about a large table in the President’s office and continued their discussion of affairs affecting the Nayy Department. Will Leave Tomorrow. Before they returned to the camp the President turned Mr. Wilbur over to the group of correspondents who were waiting on the porch below. Mr. Wilbur will remain at the camp until early Monday morning. He will start immediately on a journey to the Pacific Coast which will include a visit to the fleet now in Puget Sound. He also will study the recent survey made of Alaska. He will then go to San Francisco and later to Los An- geles, where he will join the mem- bers of his family. He did not say when he expected to return to Wash- ington. He stated that he was in need of a change of air and scenery. Mr. Wilbur, during his talk with the newspaper correspondents, said the President had not yet invited him to go fishing with him. He expected this invitation would come later. BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. LONDON, July 24.—In Great Brit- tain’s exertion to improve her in- dustrial and economlc situation, andy thereby to re-establish her political and soclal life upon a solid basis, one of her most renowned public men ap- pears to be emerging from what some were inclined to regard as permanent eclipse. This man, by inborn faculty, 1s a man of crises. His spiritual home is In the political cyclone-beit. Wild waters, domestic or foreign, set him on the wing. He is, I suppose, the world's livellest human stormy petrel. Need one name him? David Lloyd George, for six oner- ous and dangerous years (1917-23) British prime minister, was an old parliamentary hand long before that. He got his politics, not out of his nurs- ing bottle, but earlier. Just as Swin- burne, for example, came into the world a poet, so Lioyd George came into it a politiclan. He has had his ups and downs. His hat has gone into the ring for countless fights—"all of which,” says he, “I hated. I hated them all. I am a man of peace.” ‘Whereupon, his audience claps fren- ziedly and rocks with laughter. Ready When Country Calls. Not idolized everywhere in Great Britain for some years now, Lloyd George is reviving. ~His heart is beat- ing more quickly. His lips are firmer. There is a keener, a more confident, flash in his eyes. He swings from side to side with a surer mien of com- mand. His gestures, his irony, wit, scorn, his epigrams, his similes and metapors, his spontaneous rushes of eloquence, all bear more vivid sug- gestion of the little wizard at the height of his wizardry. It is the crisis in him. It is the storm. It is the Lloyd Georgian recoil to the new na- tional trait and the new national psy- chology. Ruddy-complexioned, plump, darting bright glances hither and thither, this young-old liberal leader (he is 63 as against Asquith’s 74) had a fleld day at the National Liberal Club on June 23, the elub honoring him with a luncheon, and more than 600 excited women and men packed the huge smoking room to hear him speak. 1 sat within a few feet of the ora- tor. He was at the top of his form. It was the happiest day, and the most triumphant day, of his life sirice Bald- win shattered ‘the coalition cabinet in 1922 and paved the way for his own smashing victory at the polls in 1925. All has not gone well of late in the Joftier altitudes of liberal leadership. Asquith is leader of the party in the country, Lloyd George in the House of Commons. Wedded recently, their honeymoon was short, As ever, with these high contracting parties, there was incompatibility of temperament. They quarreled over the general strike. Asquith did not like Lloyd George's conduct and said so. There was a beautiful connubial spat. As- quith and his Liberal loyalists, men like Lord Grey and Sir John Simon, froming the so-called Liberal ‘s‘hadow cabinet,” decided that the Welshman should be divorced and ejected from the Liberal household. .. The Wizard Returns. Liberalism in‘ the country did not approve these drastic tactics, and the National Liberal Club luncheon was to assure Lloyd George that the Liberals of London and the mass of this famous club still con- sidered him a pretty good fellow. Lloyd George liked it. It was to him as the braeing air of his Welsh hills. It put LLOYD GEORGE, MAN OF CRISES, RENEWING LIFE AND INFLUENCE Ex-Prime Minister, Little Wizard, Stormy Petrel of Britain’s Varying Fortunes, Becoming Domi- nant Figure as of Old. of silver. And if the spirit of the oc- caslon gave the speaker joy there could be no mistaking the fact that the speaker reacted upon the audience correspondingly and if full measure. One never listens to Lloyd George and witnesses the popular effect of his personality without a temptation to essay some anaylsis of his powers. How does he usually so completely en- chant his hearers? Stocky though he is, he makes a good appearance, for his big head is set squarely upon sturdy shoulders, and there is a leo- nine touch about his gray-white hair, which falls below his ears, and is cropped evenly all round. His face is a fine one, in some respects almost femininely delicate, and emotion and intelligence play there like sunlight upon water. It would be easy, as many do, to put this man’s electric influence down to histrionics. He is an actor. He is an actor both by internal quality and external facility. At his best, he holds his audience, however large or mixed, in the hollow of his hand. People do not take ‘their eyes off him. They be- come wholly self-forgetful. They smile or grow serious or laugh outright as if they were so many living puppets. It is a wonderful show — Lloyd George's nature and art acting upon the hearts and the minds of a great assemblage of his instinctive disciples. Only Liberalism Can Heal. But Lloyd George, as I interpret him, is an actor only superficially. At the roots of his character, in my view, he is a statesman, a real statesman, a man who takes to politics and state- craft out of a primal interest in and love for his fellowmen. Here we have, I fancy, the true secret of his cap- tivating and vitalizing ascendency over millions of his compatriots. He reminds me in turn of many things stormy petrel, of a fighting-cock, of a stormy petral, of a fighting-cock, of a conjurer, of a brilliant lightweight boxer, of a dazzling acrobat. But no such image sheds any light upon Lloyd George's profounder qualities, which alone explain his long-contin- ved and continuing political promi- nence. What does he say to existing con- ditions in Great Britain? He says they are bad, poltically un- satisfactory, economically berind-hand, socially clamorous for far-reaching re- form. Toryism, in Lloyd George' opinion, should go. If toryism went, with all it means and socfalism fol- lowed it bag and baggage “into the wilderness, then Lloyd George's “build- ing creed” of liberalism, as he reads the crystal of current affairs, would set to work Systematically to recon- struct the British realm worthily of itself and of its international status. Liberalism would reorganize agri- culture and manufacture, solve the coal problem, give urban populations light and health, abolish poverty, for- tify free trade, safeguard liberty and diminish the threat of war. A magnificent prgoram? Indubitably. But scarcely more mag- nificent than Lloyd George’s obvious faith thdt unfettered liberalism could carry it out. (Covyright. 1926.) Delirium Tremens After Fall.

One of the little known natural riches of the United States Is its splendid array of volcances. .And the Geological Survey of the In- terlor Department is preparing just now to exploit these eruptive peaks, to point out their attractivness to travelers, and to make them eventual- Iy a part of the chain of national parks. It would be far more excit: ing to stand at the edge of a molten lava ‘flow and watch it at its work of destruction than merely to gaze at the more or less aimless spoutings of an Old Faithful geyser or into the abyss of the Girand Canyon. in the Alaskan Peminsula and the Aleutian Islands the United States is the proud possessor of 50 vol- | canoes, * Here is something new for | Main street to brag abput when it goes abroad. What other nation possesses such a flock of volcanoes within so small a space? The Amer. ican volcanoes are coming in for in- tensive study at the moment. A new science, known as geophysics, is growing up to deal with the subject. Additional volcano observatories are to be established, new listening posts thrown out. On volcanic ground every second of the day contains some precious message for ther- mometer, or chemical testing vial, or delicate pendulum, or level bubble. These messages are echoes from the last eruption or earthquake, or warn- ings of the next. Quake Prediction Looms. It Is the theory of the division of and + blcanology that eventually it will be possible to predict the coming of an earthquake. For 15 years the Hawaiian volcano observatory has been studying earth strategy and learn- ing the habits of the “enemy.” Seven times within the past 14 years the earth on Hawaii staged big flery cen- il and fllank movements of either rising or collapsing lava, earthquakes, rising or falling ground, tidal waves, lava flows sweeping through forests, ranches and villages, or steam ex- plosions hurling up rocks. Each oi these events was different, vet all had things in common. Sclence is learning the habits of an enemy which works ruthlessly, but rhythmically and by law. Proverbfally a volcano is supposed to be disorderly, but, in fact, a volcano works in ac cordance with unerring system. Men engaged in voleanic study are com- pletely fascinated by their task. The rumble of an earth disturbance is music to their ears. They are con- fident that through a careful study of an accumulation of data they can show that past events have predicted what is going on today, and that events of .today may forecast the cataclysms of tomorrow. Process Always Going on. Congress itself has become con- vinced that far-reaching results will follow scientific knowledge of the shaking of the ground, the heat, the changes of level, and the construc- tlons of new rock which are always going on about active volcanoes. Old studies of volcanoes were concerned only with eruptions. The new stu- dents apply the microscope to the process, so to speak, and find that tremors, tiiting, heatings, cooling, swellings and anings are affecting voleanic ground all the time. The present headquarters of the sec- tion of volcanology of the Geological Survey is in Hawail, with Dr. T. A. Jaggar in charge. Next year Dr. Jag- gar is going to make an extensive reconnaissance in the Aleutians to find a place in that remote land where he can have an active volcano for a workshop and enough civilization to establish permanent quarters.

Water tank trains are run regularly, as the interfor is largely without water, wells having been driven in many places from 500 to 2,000 feet in depth in the effort to secure water for use, but all water found was extremely salt, so the reservoirs near the shore provide supplies to be hauled in to the points where needed.

PARIS, July 24 (P)—La Fronde, & Parls Dally written by women for women, has undertaken a crusade to abolish bull fighting in France by strengthening the 1 inst_cruelty to animals. The paper would make penalties such that no one would aa- tempt to organize the spectacles, and would_ confiscate the receipts when- ever a fight was held. The popularity of bull fighting in the south of France is scarcely rea ized outside of the country, as it is gencrally believed that the sport is limited to Spain. Thousands of per- sons, however, attend many bull fights every Sunday. The French claim that these fights are not as cruel as those staged in Spain. La Fronde is not finding active sup- port from President Doumergue in its campaign, since the nch Pres,- dent, a true son of the South, is & fervent supporter of bull fights. e Wilson Monument Will Be Erected In Czech Capital By the Associated Press.
