Rukhimovich, commissar of the de- fense industry, who was in charge of | Russia’s big armaments program, has been removed from his post, it was disclosed today. He has been suc- ceeded by Mikhail Kaganovich, former Vice commissar of the defense indus- try, an expert on aviation, Television Possibilities.

Thrilling scenes, such as shipwrecks, foreign lands and even a war could be shown in television, and actors could play their parts in conjunction with authentic scenes taken on location, me. I don't want to be stung. Now what about this paper making? It doesn't make sense to me” said Sammy. His cousin grinned. “You needn’t worry about being stung. Their nest isn't here,” said he. “We'll wait here a few minutes and those two will be back or some others of the family. See this old dead fallen tree, dead so long that the bark fell long ago and it is gray from exposure to the weather, but not rotted. This is their pulpwood. Here comes one now. Watch closely when she alights. The wasp alighted on the fallen tree and at once began to walk about carefully examining the surface, Sam- my and Sue were still a bit fearful but came near enough to watch. It was Sue who suddenly exclaimed: “Why she looks as if she is biting that log! What is she doing that for? Or isn't she? Is she eating it?” Tommy grinned. “She is biting off bits,” he replied. “She is gathering a supply of pulpwood to make into paper. She is biting off tiny bits of that gray outer wood and she’ll chew it and mix it with something in her mouth that will make it into paper. Here comes another.” Sammy scowled at the two workers. “Look at their stingers” said he. “Boy how they would hurt!” “Don't worry,” replied Tommy. *“If you don't bother them they won't bother you. Just keep away from their nest.” “What do they want that paper for?” Sue wanted to know. “Follow me and perhaps I can show “THERE IT 1S” HE EXCLAIMED PRESENTLY. sald Tommy, “and the hornets or wasps; for that is what they are, made 1t long before man knew how. They were the very first paper makers I guess.” “Stop talking in riddles and tell us what you mean. There goes one of those old hornets and there goes the other. It's good riddance if you uk‘. 4 » you,” replied her cousin.” He had taken note of the direction in which the wasps had flown after taking flight and now led that way, moving slowly and stopping frequently to look carefully ahead. “There it is!” he exclaimed pres- ently. “See that big gray pear-shaped thing hanging up there in that tree? That is their nest and it is made of the paper that they themselves make. I used to wonder why it was that al- ways these big nests of the white- faced hornets, that being the name of these wasps, are always that beau- tiful weathered gray. But that is easy to understand when you see where they get their pulpwood. That nest is just the color of that old tree.” “I'm going to throw a stick up there and see if I can knock that nest down,” said Sammy. “Oh, no, you're not,” replied his cousin, (Copyright, 1037.) with the poison murder of Jacob Wagner, legal staff.

BALTIMORE, October 16.—Balti- more’s exclusive Bachelors' Cotillion, with its 141 years of history and its gold brocade hangiggs from the '60s, will be even more exclusive this year if the board of managers can man- age it. Printed slips with new rules limit- ing the number of guests went out this year. Each of the 700-odd sub- scribers may invite three guests to the two dances. But only one of these invitations may be for the first—the really important one. It is at this that Baltimore girls— and a good many f{rom out of town—make their debuts. They are listed in the newspapers for weeks beforehand; their dresses are de- scribed and their chaperons named. Also named are from one to five part- | ners for each girl. The managers point to the increase in the number of girls who come out at the cotillions. In 1914 there were 3 debuts; last year 38 Baltimoreans and 37 girls from outside the city Baltimore Bachelor Cotillion More Exclusive made their first formal bow at the affair, These 37 included Miss Virginia Pennoyer, granddaughter of J. Pier- pont Morgan; Miss Alice Noel Tucker- man, whose partner was Prince Osman Entougrout, grandson of the former Sultan of Turkey, and Miss Terry Camperio of Rome, The cotillion was started in 1796. Sime time about the Civil War it ac- quired the brocades, brought out every year to go with the cotillion’s own candelabra and traditional smilax. As old as the hangings are some of the rules, notably the ban, complete and sternly enforced, on smoking. This year it will be buttressed with the new regulations. Invitations for the first dance this year, on December 6, may not be issued to “gentlemen who are not 21 years of age,” nor to former Baltimoreans who have lived away less than three years. Also, the managers said delicately, subscribers are requested to ask in- vitations only “for persons known per- sonally to them.” Non-Intervention (Continued F’Igm First Pagev) Russia, which opposes recognition of | the Franco regime in any manner, | said: “Those who declare themselves in favor of non-intervention, but against recognition of belligerent rights can- not be considered as neutrals in re- spect to the Spanish conflict.” Ambassador Ivan Maisky, Russia's tion had never worked and never would, and insisted that the Spanish government should be given the rlgm[ to buy arms freely. Earlier Ambassador Corbin, for France, outlined five points of the Anglo-French withdrawal plans and said if they were not accepted the French government “would feel con- strained to reserve to themselves full liberty of action.” His hearers considered this to mean primarily reopening the Franco-Span- ish frontier to the flow of war supplies to the Spanish government if the with- drawal scheme failed. Lord Plymouth, British delegate and chairman of the meeting, gave full support to the French views and said that if no agreement could be reached the British government also would have to consider the question of “re- suming liberty of action.” It was indicated this would mean lifting of the ban on shipments of arms to Spain. It was announced a technical sub- committee would meet Monday to ex- amine the Von Dulm-Hemming report. Both Count Grandi and Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German repre- sentative, insisted that their countries were in no wise responsible for the extent of foreign intervention in Spain. The German, like his Italian colleague, referred to Eden's Llandudno speech and added that full liberty of action should be given to all if the present negotiations fail. Shanghai (Continued From First Page.) in water up to their waists. The Chi- nese fire killed and wounded several hundred Japanese, he added, many of the wounded drowning. Ten Japa- nese machine guns and more than 100 Japanese rifles were captured. Heavy Japanese bombing planes to- day carried the threat of spreading warfare to the coastal cities of Shan- tung, one of the five North China areas Japan is seeking to dominate. Planes flew over Tsingtao, Shan- tung’s chief seaport, and Chinese of- ficials said they believed Japanese naval vessels would attempt to land troops under the cover of air bombard- ments. The threat to Shantung’s seacoast came as Japanese troops advancing southward toward Tsinanfu, provin- cial capital, were slowed by floods. Retreating Chinese opened canal dikes to put large areas of the low-lying country under water. At Hangchow a squadron of six Japanese planes, after flying over the city for 30 minutes, dropped a proces- sion of bombs yesterday, badly damag= ing the main railway station and nu- merous nearby shops. Three persons were killed and five injured. British Postal Commissioner H. H. Molland narrowly escaped injury. Dr. Chang Sin-be, University of Pennsyl- vania graduate, reported that one plane dived low over his automobile on the West Lake highway and that after he had jumped out and hid under a bridge the pilot tossed out a grenade which destroyed the car. At Shanghai Japanese naval vessels started a new bombardment of the Pootung industrial area across the Whangpoo River from the Interna- tional Settlement. Japanese press reports were that the army had lost no time in taking over rich coal, iron and aluminum resources in Shansi and soon would begin to incorporate the provincial government with the South Chahar autonomous regime based at Kalgan. The new Japanese bombardment at Shanghal came after Chinese troops fought their way into fringes of the Japanese occupied Hongkew sector of the International Settlement. Chinese today were in possession of scores of back streets formerly held by Japanese. } \ Intruder Robs Bride and Two Shower Guests A sneak thief with a long piece of wire and no respect for the social amenities took $4 and a check for $72 from the purses of three women who were attending a bridal shower last night for Mrs. Orville K.

" IMUF" TAKES BU M Chief’ Shirt Torn Lo High Arab Official ' Flees Palestine—Unrest in Lybia Increases. By the Associated Press. JERUSALEM, October 16.—The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem slipped out of Palestine last night, fleeing to the Lebanese Republic aboard a sail boat, as British authorities tighten heir control over Moslem activities in a determined effort to suppress terrorism in the Holy Land. (The mufti, the only member of the Arab Higher Committee not already deported or banished from Palestine, sailed to Nakoura, dressed in a simple Bedouin costume. He spent the night at Beirut and then departed for an undisclosed desti- nation.) The latest action of the British ad- ministration was to assume control of the Moslem “WAQF,” the commit- tee in charge of Moslem religious properties. The British took over “WAQF” documents, consisting of re- ligious endowment trusts previously controled by the mufti. These will be administered by Palestine authori- ties. “WAQF” controled funds esti- mated at $335,000 yearly. The Holy Land was relatively quiet again under strict military vigil. But only yesterday two British constables were slain from ambush and other acts of terrorism had resulted in the killing and wounding of many Jews and Arabs. The only new incident was the burning of the customs shed, the wire- less room and other buildings at Lydda Airport. This was regarded as pos- sible sabotage, Libyan Arabs Favorable. ROME, October 16 (&) —Libyan Arabs informed Premier Benito Mus- solini today they stood shoulder-to- shoulder with their fellow Moslems in Palestine in opposing British policy in the mandated holy land. This stand was communicated to Tl Duce in a telegram signed by leaders of the Arabs of Libya, Italian posses- sion in North Africa. The statement was prompted, the telegram said, by “events which have taken place in the last few days as a consequence of measures taken by the mandatory powers (Great Britain).” Italy attached great importance to the Arab action. Fascist officials in- terpreted it as further proof of the ex- tent to which Mussolini has succeeded in winning the confidence of the Moslem world since he began to woo it during his Libyan visit last March, Italy Sends Reinforcements.

FIREMEN SPRINKLE= BLAZE AND CITIZEN Quench Both With Ultimate Loss of $5,000 in Fire Which Delayed Gov. Nice. Erccial Dispatch to The Star. WHEATON, Md., October 16.—Pire in the home of William T. Partridge, jr, on the Seventh Street pike did $5,000 damage, caused the Governor of Maryland to be delayed 10 minutes and was the scene of a lively water skirmish between Paul Bouis, opera- tor of a beer parlor here, and several members of the Silver Spring Volun- teer Fire Department yesterday after- noon. A warrant charging Bouis with dis orderly conduct was sworn out by Fire Chief Charles Deffinbaugh of the Sil ver Spring Fire Department last night. According to Deffinbaugh, while he and other Silver Spring firemen were holding the hose, Bouis, who had ob- tained a hand extinguisher, started to squirt water on them. Attempts to stop Bouis.were fruitless, Deffinbaugh said, and finally, as a last resort, he told the men to turn the hose on him. Bouis was drenched, but continued to argue until finally persuaded by friends to leave the scene. Last night, accord- ing to police, he visited the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire Department, where he is said to have threatened Deffinbaugh and tore his shirt. The blaze, believed to have started in a defective fireplace in the living room, was discovered by Mrs. Partridge, who called the Kensington Fire De- | partment and rescued her two small sons, one 2 years old and the other 16 months, who were asleep on the second floor. The Silver Spring Fire Department, called by neighbors, laid 2,200 feet of hose from the cross-roads at Wheaton. Traffic on the pike was forced to be detoured. Gov. Harry W. Nice, with an escort of State police, was held up at the fire lines for a short time, continu- ing his trip to College Park, where he was to speak, when the hose was liftec to allow his car to pass. — Competition in Apples. ‘The apple market is having quite a bit of competition, as good apples now come from South America, South Af- rica and New Zealand.
