PARIS (#).—What happened to some of the millions women spent on Paris gowns became known recently when Jacque Doucet, famous dressmaker, died. Besides his notable art library, given to the University of Paris some years ago, the couturier bequeathed one of the finest collections of modern art. In it are many canvases by Manet, Cezanne, Picasso, Rousseau, Marie Laurencin and scores of others of modern schools. There are hundreds of pictures by young painters, many of whom were helped toward fame by Doucet’s attention and aided when they were poor by his purchases of their pic- tures. Doucet long ago became known as & great collector. In 1912 he sold his French paintings of the eighteenth cen- tury, on which he had concentrated. ‘The sale, still a record here, brought Jjust short of $3,000,000. Then he turn- ed toward modern schools of art. Much of the money he spent of late years went into the art library, now housed in the Salomon de Rothschild mansion, open to the public. Doucet had gathered 100,000 books on art, 500 manuscript volumes, 1.500 volumes of autographs and original documents pertaining to art, 150,000 nh&t‘ngraphs of art works and 100,000 prints. ‘Wool produced in Australia this year 18 expected to weigh 950,200,000 pounds. SOL HERZO | & S ALVA SOLE. VIRGINIA AIRPORT DEAL UNDER WAY University of Aviation Seeks Field and Equipment Near Alexandria. Negotiations for the purchase of the fleld and ecuipment of the Alexandria Municipal Airport, operated by Mount’ Vernon Airways, at Hybla Valley, Va., | have been completed by the University of Aviation, sponsored by a group or local aviation and business people, headed by Alva Sole, president of the District of Columbia Air Legion. The field will become the principat center of the newly created university and will be used for flying instruction and the ground courses, shops there to | be fitted for instruction on motors, rig- ging, welding and other subjects. Additional land is to be acquired nearby for dormitories, a clubhouse and swim- ming pool for the use of the District of Columbia Air Legion, Mr. Sole saia. It is planned to make the University | of Aviation the country’s first rea aviation university. It is planned to have all instruction of collegiate graae and to offer courses in aeronautical en= gineering and airport administration, in addition to the usual courses flying and ground school work. ‘The university's courses, it was an- nounced, will be prescribed by the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce and will include flying courses for those seeking transpor, limited commercial and private pilots licenses, ground _school courses for these students and the engineering and administration subjects. The course in aeronautical engineer- ing, which is planned to fill an urgent need, will be an intensive course, re- quiring about one year to complete, and will be offered first to graduates ot courses in mechanical, electrical anu chemical engineering, who desire to branch off in the profession of aerc- nautical engineering. This course prob- ably will be started in February, Mr. Sole said. RUSTLERS STILL BUSY. “Lost Art” in U. 8. Is Practiced in Mexico. MEXICO CITY (Special) —Cattle rustling, which is more or less a lost art in the United States, with the dis- appearance of the old-time wild West, is still being practiced on a large scale in_Mexico. In several parts of Chihuahua, North- ern Mexico, ranchers report that steers are being run off the ranges at the rate of from 80 to 100 a day, and are solicit- ing the aid of cattlemen’s assoclations in nearby cities. Some ranchers are shooting their cattle to slow them up when herds are driven off. Air University Head | pendently,” IN ALL MATERIALS TIN ROOFS PORCHES BUILT WE_BUILD, REBUILD.

The proposed merger of the Radio Corporation of America with the Inter- national Telephone & Telegraph Co. was negotiated in the interest of a “more efficlent and more economical system of communications than either company could hope to develop inde- David Sarnoff, Radio Cor- poration president, testified today be- fore the Senate interstate commerce committee. Subject to legislative approval, Sar- noff said, the plan would at once pro- vide a communications service for the United States that would “place us on some measure of parity in this respect with England, France, Germany and Italy, where similar unification already has been effected, and at the same time provide radio with the necessary pick- up and distribution facilities that would warrant the greatest possible de- velopment of the art.” He testified on the Couzens bl to set up & Government commission Wwith supervision over all forms of communi- cations. The proposed combination of cable and radio interests, prohibited under the existing radio act, would not only bring an immediate increase in busi- and earning power of the Interna- tional Telephone & Telegraph Co., Sar- noff said, but it would “insure its large present investment in the communica- tion field. PORTUGAL’S NOBILITY TAKING THINGS EASY Overthrow of Monarchy Meant Little to Those Who Dwelled in High Places. LISBON (#).—Portuguese aristocrats under the republic are not much worse off than under the monarchy. The revolution of 1910 which forced King Manuel into exile claimed few victims among his titled subjects. After the republic appeared consoli- dated the government showed a len- iency toward the aristocracy of which revolutionary history offers few par- allels. The doors of cells were flung open in 1916 and all noblemen accused of plots for restoration of the monarchy were liberated. Many aristocrats today lead the opu- lent existence of yore. A glance at Portugal's peerage book even shows that new titles have been created by King Manuel at his “court” in Richmond, England, where monarchist Portuguese invariably visit him when they go to London. Two decades have elpased since the proclamation of the republic and the nobility has adapted itself to changed order. Hundreds of marquises, dukes, counts and viscounts are en- gaged in various professions.. Others whose time was so much taken up by their duties at court that they could not pay attention to their estates have gone back to their farms and are work- ing them to advantage. All administrations since the revolu- tion have scrupulously respected private property. King Manuel derives a large income from his extensive holdings in this country. His relatives, the ducal family of Braganza, live in undi- minished splendor, although some mem- bers of the same clan have fallen upon lean days. Many young aristocrats have flung their titles to the winds and gone into business. Some have done well in the motor car trade or in banking. Others have been successful in medicine, the law and engineering, but not one in the lt:‘ho]e country has become a shop- eepel LOANS ON the | WILD DEER AND PIGS NEW ZEALAND PESTS Animals Multiply So Rapidly Gov- ernment Sends Out Hunting Par- ties to Thin the Herds. AUCKLAND (#)—Deer and wild pigs, introduced in New Zealand to provide sport for huntsmen, have proved a countryside pest. 1In no part of the world is there such thrilling deer-stalking as in New Zea- land, but there are not enough sports- men. The animals, secure in their forest fastnesses, have multiplied so rapidly that the government has sent out official hunting parties to thin the herds. One party spent three months in the Lilburn Valley, shooting 700 magnificent red deer, the hides of which were ex-| ported at a dollar apiece.
