BREVSTER T0CET MEXGAN VDR Marriage to Corliss Palmer Will Follow in 24 Hours, Says Paper. THE EVENING Missionary Says Beheaded Butterflies Live Longer Than Their Mates Left Whole By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 28.—Life without a head is not only possible, but as the Academy of Science was informed, there are insects that live longer with- out their heads than with them. In describing the investigations car- a _missionary ried on for many years by Rev. Father Cambouet, gascar, Prof. Bouvier said they were in continuation of those described by in Mada- Edmond Perrier before the academy in 1911, in which certain caterpillars survived the ioss of their heads and became chrysalises and then headless butterflies. Father Cambouet found that over 80 headless butterflies, belonging to two different families, not only sur- vived the loss of their heads, but lived appreciably longer than other mem- bers of their families.

Brewster, wealthy film magazine publisher, ex- ygcts to obtain a Mexican divorce from his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Brewster ziving and to marry Corliss Palmer, whose entry into motion pictures he sponsored, within 24 hours afterward. “Miss Palmer and myself have heen engaged for six years and during that time we have sought constantly to find a place where we could legally | set aside the obstructions put in the way of my divorce by Mrs. Brewster,” The Times quotes Brewster. “At last we have found it and we will be mar- ried immediately after the divorce s secured.” v The publisher disclosed that the | Suc State of Sonora, in Mexico, has been chosen for the projected divorce suit, but refused to name the town. The complaint probably will charge that the couple has not lived together for more than five years. Brewster, it fs sald, will establish residence in the Mexican State. The interview was given by Brew- ster as he painted thes second-story vorch of an out-of-town retreat which | he occupied under an assumed name. He said the house affords a_place to work and rest undisturbed.

By the Associated Press. « LONDON, August 28.—When King George goes shooting he takes with him a smaller retinue than other European soverelgns. ‘The personnel is fairly extensive, however. It in- cludes two equerries, his valet, a brusher, footman, two gun loaders, an inspector of police and two chauf- feurs. Queen Mary's visits to intimate friends in their country houses always have a touch of formality. At meals the host and hostess and other guests assemble a few minutes before the time the Queen enters the room, and after the meal the Queen gives the signal for the women to withdraw. All the day’s arrangements, hours of meals and the names of those it is proposed to invite are submitted to the Queen for approval each morning. This formality is offset by the ease | by which the Queen Is entertained. | —— - The Shadow for the Substance. From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

STAR, FRENGH NOTEFIRN ONTANGERSTATS Answer to Spain to Insist on Internationalism and “Rights in Morocco. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 28.—The French re- ply to the Spanish memorandum ask- ing that control of the international district of Tangier -be turned over to Spain, probably will be forwarded early next week. The general lines of the answer were agreed upon before Foreign Minister Briand left for a week end at Cocherel. The answer will insist that the in- ternationalization of Tangier must be maintained. The French, in accord with Great Britain, will say that the Government is ready to study a way of giving Spain a more active share in the administration of the district but that France is unable to accept any suggestion that the League of Na- tions has jurisdiction in the matter or that a new conference of the powers that signed the treaty of Algeciras should be cailed. The document will be couched in conciliating terms, although it will be firm with respect to French rights in Morocco. It is sald that the Spanish government already has been advised in informal talks that it would be im- possible for France to give way to Spain in_this matter, because the way that, if Madrid’s request were granted, it would look to the natives of Morocco backed down before Spain. This result, it is felt in French cir- cles, would be a poor return for the part that France played in ending the Abdel Krim. The Spanish memorandum is under- question has been raised in such a s as though France had | rebellion headed by the Riffian leader, | stood to have proposed that the United States as well.as Germany and Aus- tria be invited to send delegates to another Algeciras conference to re- {ise the status of the Tangier zone. Germany and Austria, by treaty in 1919, renounced their rights to an in- terest in the Moroccan question. » PLANES TO HUNT COPPER DEPOSITS IN RHODESIA British Aviation Company to Sur- vey and Photograph About 20,- 000 Square Miles. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 28.—An extensive aerfal survey is about to be under- ken in Rhodesia for the discovery of places where there are likely to be rich copper deposits.

RENEW FIGHT TO SAVE . LIFE OF BOY SLAYER Emanuel Ross’ Counsel Move to Sea Aside Conviction, Fol- lowing Reprieve. By the Assoclated Press. . CLEVELAND, August 28.—The fight to save Emanuel Ross, 18-year- old Cleveland slayer, from paying with his life for the murder of Isidore Steeck, was renewed today with the fl}ln‘g of a motion to set aside the con- viction. The youth, scheduled to die in the electric chair last night, was spared through a 14-day reprieve granted at the lagt minute by Gov. Donahey. It the motion to set aside the conviction is granted it will mean that Ross will be given a complete new hearing. Mrs. Louise Pridgeon and Alexander H. Martin, his attorneys, are seeking this on the ground that the youth was robbed of his constitutional rights by not being brought before juvenile court. . The governor's action brought to an end the controversy between Warden P. E. Thomas of the Ohlo Penitentiary and Judge-Samuel Sil- bert after the judge had granted a re- prieve until Monday on a habeas corpus action. It also made unnecessary the auto- mobile race against time of Mrs. ‘A Fresh Shipment of ~5Y Pridgeon, who hurried to Columbus by auto with the reprieve writ granted by Judge Silbert. Silbert intimated today that he would take no further steps in the case. “It's up to Judge McMahon now,” Silbert declared. “He originally sen tenced Ross to the death chair and any recommendation for a commuta tion of sentence will have to come from him.” prT 450,000 Known Insects.
