9 * . FRENGH TAKE STEP | 0 SATISFY SPAIN Plan Probably Would Also Give Poland Permanent, League Council Seat. By the Associated Press GENEVA, Switzerland, August 30. —France, after consultation with Ger- many, made a move today designed to satisfy Spain as well as Poland in their demands for permanent seats on the council of the League of Na- tions. At a meeting of the Council Reor- ganization Commission, M. Froma- geot, French jurist. proposed that when non-permanent members of the council are elected by the assembly the voting countries may immediately declare on their ballots that a certain state is re-elgible for election. The three states obtaining the high- est number of such declarations could be deemed re-eligible. Some statesmen figure that under this plan Spain and probably also Poland would be a sured of constant places on the mmn-‘ cil, thus becoming virtually perma nent members. Previous Plan Was Vague. A previous project adopted by the son was vague as to when ility could be proclamed. Whether such a scheme, which leaves the Spanish claim open to the hazard of a vote in the assembly. will De acceptable to Spain remains doubt ful. Spain today insistently reaffirm ed her demand for a permanent seat on the same footing as Germany and the other great powers, and she asked an immediate decision. Signor Scialoja, spokesman - for Mussolini, attacked the proposed French compromise on the ground it would prevent the assembly for three vears from expressing a preference as to re-eligible members. He added that it would prevent the assembly from adding to the council desirable members of the league or from in- viting Brazil as a semi-permanent member should that country decide not to abandon the league. Deny Mussolini Is Committed. The Itallans here deny that Pre- mier Mussolini s committed to granting Spain a permanent seat. With the gathering of statesmen throughout the world one week from today for the assembly meeting, many problems of great import, in addi- tion to the election of Germany to membership, seem likely to arise. The demand of Spain for sov- ereignty over the internationalized community of Tangler, in Morocco, threatens to bring complications. Tt appears mnot improbable that the financlal problems of Europe also may be thrown into the league, hav- ing token on new - vigor since the visit to Europe of Andrew W. Mel- lon, Secretary of the United States Treasury, who has talked with vari- ous men’ high in European finance, but with what regard has not been made known. Mellon Visits League. S. Parker Gilbert, agent general for reparations payments, has had a conference here with Sir Arthur Sal- ter, who was instrumental. as head of the financial section of the league, in bringing about the financial rehabili- tation of Austria and Hungary. After the conference Sir Arthur was intro- duced to Mr. Mellon, who made a week end visit to Geneva and left for Paris. 1t is reported that there is a tend- ency to consider France's attitude toward ratification of the accord reached between M. Bereager, the French Ambassador to the United States, and Mr. Mellon with regard 1o France's debt to the United Stat as the key to amelioration of | the general debt situation As the league officials are preparing for the commencement of the sessions come reports of much goose-stepping by monarchists in Nuremburg, Ba- varfa. A demonstration vesterday was a counter-move by the National- ists_against a Republican move held in Nuremburg some time ago. The | participants in it are opposed to the republic and the entry of Germany into the League of Nations.

While police had officlally recorded a report that Philander J. Knox, ir., son of a former Secretary of State and Senator from Pennsylvania, had béen cut on the arm early vesterday morn- ing while “in an altercation” with his wife, Mrs. Josephine Poole Knox, Mr. Knpx from his bed at Casualty Hos- pital today emphatically denled such reports and authorized the statement that the true cause of his injury was a slip on the wet bathroom floor while he had a glass in his hand going for water. ““Here's how it happened.” Mr. Knox said. “Mrs. Knox had returned from a bridge game and T had already gone 1o bed. She was about ready to re- tire, when I took a glass and went to the bathroom to get a drink of water, “The rubber mat had been removed from the floor and the tile was a bit slippery. I slipped: the glass fell to the floor, and in falling my arm landed on top of a broken piece of glass. “There was a good deal of blood and that sort of thing and Mrs. Knox became hysterical. She went next door and got a fraternity brother of mine to come in. He applied a tour- niquet; Mrs. Knox had already called the hospital. She was in a highly nervous condition from the sight of so much blood. Well, I'm_here. “There's no marital trouble at all. If police say that there had been an altercation, they're jumping at con- clusions. Tt simply isn't so. And that's all there is to it." Wife at Hospital. His mother visited him at the hos. pital this morning. where a trained nurse and a hutler are in attendance. His wife arrived a short time later. She was with him several hours yes- terday. “I'm going to leave this afternoon.” Mr. Knox said, “and, of course, I'm going right home." Headquarters Detectives Brodie and Varney, who investigated the case, de- clared that they obtained statements immediately after he had been taken to the hospital to the effect that the injury to his arm had heen caused when he threw his arms above his head to ward off a glass hurled at him by Mrs. Knox.

Senator Johnson's support of Clarke has been a much discussed feature of the campaign. Johnson came fo California last month_to stump the State for Clarke and Young, declar- ing it was his imperative duty as a citizen to fight for the “return of progressive government” in State and Natlon. Should Clarke and Young he defeated by Shortridge and Rich- ardson, their victory, some political observers contend, would be a crush- ing blow to Johnson's prestige in Californfa, and might cripple his campaign for re-election in 1028, Victory for Clarke and Young, on the other hand, would be interpreted as a triumph for Johnson and a repudi- ation of the World Court.

Where did the very first giraffe's | name come from? That's interesting in view of the fact that we want a name for Wash- ington’s new giraffe, but it's a hard | one to answer. We can only go back as far as recorded history carries us, and we must suppose that up to that | time they had no particular names, although it seems reasonable to be- lleve that the cavemen of Africa called them something. Anyhow. about the first recod we find showing that men were intefested | in giraffes is in the Rible. In the | Rook of Deuteronomy there is re- | peated reference to a_creature which | the Jews called the ‘zemer." Liter- ally " translated into ‘English, that means something like chamois, First Known N: So. probably the first known name for a giraffe was “zemer There is not much apparent similarity be tween the chamois of South America and the giraffe of Afri is there?” But that name probabl developed from the fact that the giraffe’s skin is very tough and very soft, rme. thing like that of the chamoi: The first time a giraffe known to be in anything resembling a zoo wasin the days of Caesar. An- cient history tells how strange, tall | animals were exhibited in the same amphitheates where the Romans used to throw the defenseless Chris- | tiang to the savage lis But the Romans called them ‘“‘camelopards.” In some parts of the world that name s still used to some extent. If You have ever seen a giraffe you can | easily guess how the Romans zot the name amelopard.” A giraffe has Jong legs and neck like a camel, yet | it is spotted like a leopard. So it is a logical name after all. But such a name was only descriptive, it meant nothing at all. Giraffe of Arabic Origin. Our word * affe” is really much hetter. It is not only descriptive of the animal's color, but it gives him definite place in the animal kingdom. Tt was taken from the Arabic word “Zarafah,” which means allest of 11 animals.” The Arabs still eall giraffes “'za-ra-fahs and it i net at all unlikely that their name is even older than that used by the Jews, al though we have no records to prove that. ‘We are told that giraffes were once plentiful over most of Africa. They were such inoffensive, lendly crea- tures, however, that they hecame easy | prey for the natives and Arabs in the old days, and where they once roamed in great herds they have almost been exterminated, representing now one of the most valuable of all animals. Their flesh provided the natives with ample quantities of delicious meat, and their tough hides, when cleaned and dried, served numerous purposes, from making good, tough ropes to offering an easy means of rainproofing the roof of a native home. It was not uncom mon even R few vears ago to see as many as 40 giraffes in a single herd. Six or seven is about the lmit now.
