JAPANESE WOULD INPROVE ALPHABET Success in Tarkey Inspires Re- formers in Nippon Osaka, Japan .(P—President Ke- mal's success in giving Turkey a new alphabet has awakened the envious admiration of the large and growing number of Japanese who would like 1o reform their own system of writ-, ing. This feeling is strongly express- ed in an editorial in the Osaka Main- ichi, one of the most influential jour- nals of Japan, which declares that *the Turkish example should pro- vide an impetus for lingulstc reform in Japan.” After describing the Turkish achicvement of replacing the cum- bersome Arabic writing by an alpha- bet of 29 characters, the Mainichi wsupports’ ‘President Kemal’s claim that this reform in the greatest ever attempted in his country. Acknowledging Japan’s debt Chinese letters and culture, the edi- torial says timcs have changed ow- ing to Japan’s contact With the oc- cident, the nation’s of which have enjoyed an advantage over the or- fent because of their simpler writing aystems, which make learning and diffusion of knowlcdge casier than in the past. Japanese is written in a combina- tion of Chinese ideographs and pho- netic sylables peculiar to Japan. Tt 1s estimated that a knowledge of 3,000 characters is neceszary to read the newspapers casily. 1or many years there has been a movement aimed at adopting the Roman aipha- bet, to bé lifted phonetically to Jap- anesc words. Such writing, known as “Romajl," already has very limi- ted use, but owing to general con- servatism in government and cultur- al circles alike there scems little prospect of its general adoption. $200,000 Westport Fire Starts in Oily Rags Westport, Jan. 31.—(UP)—Fire which swept a three-story business block on the Boston Post road here last night with a loss estimated at $200,000 was thought today to have started from spontancous combustion of oil-soaked rags in a paint store.

W. Wilkinson, mayor of Dur- ham: “I have been deeply touched by what I have seen of the bravery, patience and hope of thess people. It is very difficult to know what to do to solve the problem. I am sure, howsver, that things will be righted, but I am afraid it must take time. “The people I have met could not have been nicer to me personally. It was wonderful.” Hundreds greeted the prince when he arrived at this ancient cathedral town, surmounted by the castle built by William the Conqueror, and its cathedral.

Prior to his departure this morn- ing fromn Newcastle, 12 miles to the north, which he has made his head- quarters, the prince thanked the newspapermen who have accom- panied him and helped him obtain an accurate picture of conditions among the unemployed miners. The prince paid tribute to their “kind, conslderate co-operation.” Youth Held to Blame In Coasting Fatality Middletown, Jan. 31 (A—Coroner L. A.

M—The German government attaches great import- ance 'to the Irish Free State's deci- slon to cstablish a legalion in Berlin. Most Germans feel that London watches with considerable anxiety the dominions’ diplomatic emanci- pation from the mother country. The Irish move follows a similar project for direct relations between Germany and the Union of South Africa. With the establishing of an Irish legation in Berlin, Germany for the first time comea into direct contact with one of the British dominions, the significance of which is fully appreciated in German economic circles, judging by the widely ex- pressed opinion that all opportuni- ties accruing from such a contact must be fostered to the greatest possible extent. At a natural sequel to an Irish legation in Berlin, & German lega- tion is to be established in Dublin by the simple expedient of convert- ing the German consulate general there into a legation. German economists say that Lon- don’s frozen taciturnity in regard to this bit of diplomatic enterprise on the part of the Irish Free State is sufficiently expressive in itself. For the London government is al- ready closely watching every ton of merchandise shipped from Ger. many to Ireland and for the last four years has been viewing with growing vexation the harnessing of the River Shannon by the German firm of Siemens und Halske. South Africa is now expected to establish diplomatic . representation either in Berlin or in Hamburg in the near future. This will strength- en the existing relations between Germany and the African dominien which were started with the sign- ing in Pretoria last Septemiber of a trade treaty. MAY SAVE LONDON FRON FOGS LS Dense Soot Responsible for Con- sumption, Rickets London Jan. 31, (®—The British Iu!r ministry has renewcd its flight |against Tondon fogs, which are blamed for being the frequent cause of rickets and tuberculosis. Dr. J. 8. Owens, superintendent of the air ministry advisory committee an atmospheric pollution, has dis- covered that during a bad fog therc are between 800,000 and 1,600,000 particles of soot crammed into every cubic inch of air over Lendon. “ach person breathes about 30,000 cubic inches of air every hour. This means that under bad fog conditions nearly every person in central lon- don inhales from 24,000,000,000 to 48,000,000,000 particles of soot in an hour. “The shutting out of ultra-violet rays of the sun is the worst and most harmful feature of air pollution,” | Dr. Owens points out. “It is the frequent cause of rickets and tuber- culosis.” On a winter's morning 280 tons of soot are produced in three hours over London by domestic fires. Half & pound of soot pollution per million cubic yards is cnough to eliminate practically all the ultra-violet rays which would otherwise be coming through. Burning 17,000,000 tons of coal L.ondon loses through the smoke pall mixed in the seasonal fogs 50 per cent of the winter sun- shine it would reccive and 50 per | cent of the winter daylight, accord- ing to Dr. Owens.

Mela' St.—Greenhouses Maple B church, Burial | Wall Street Briefs ! New York, Jan. 31 (#—Specula- tive Wall street was relieved today when the bank of England made no change in its rediscount rate. Such action was feared as a means of checking the flow of gold to New York. ‘The British bank’s reserve ratio, however, fell away slightly, and made a higher rediscount ratc more likely in coming weeks. A higher rate at London would attract credit from New York and reduce the amount available for speculative purposes.

Jurisdiction Upheld In Woodward Action New York, Jan. 31 (®—Justice Aaron Levy overrujed objections to- day to the jurisdiction of the court here to hear testimony in the habeas corpus proceedings brought by Mrs. Mary Davis of Fall River, Mass,, in an effort to remove her two grand- children from the custody of their father, Orator Frank Woodward. Counsel for Woodward, who is charged with having kidnapped the children in Paris from their mother, Mrs. Davis’ daughter, objected on the ground that Woodward was suing for divorce in Rockland county and therefore the habeas corpus proceed- ings ought to be held there. Justice Levy ruled that the two actions werce entirely separate. Hearing on the writ of habeas corpus was set for February 18. During the argument counsel for Mrs. Davis charged that Woodward had established residence in Rock- land county because that county is “‘a mecca for distressed and wealthy gentlemen who want to get rid of their wives.” Dlspomion of Shlp Lines to Be Made Shortly ‘Washington, Jan. 31 (M—(.llalr- man O'Connor of the shipping board said after a conference with Presi- dent Coolidge today that he expects a decision next week on the dhlpnn.- tion of the United States lines and the American Merchant lines, for which bids have been received.

Bullish operations were switched from the utilities to the rails, Call money renewed at 7 per cent and was in adequate supply at that figure, although a higher rate lhad been looked for today, as final preparations were made for the Feb. 1 payments. Considerable funds had been attracted by yester- day's § per cent rate and some of the $7,500,000 in gold just arrived was evidently put to work. Time money was also easier. Failure of the Bank of England to increase its rediscount rate was regarded 1 ullishly, as it was believed o leave the way clear for further takings of gold in Tondon. No change in the New York Federal Reserve hank's rate is expected at the meeting this afternoon. A mod- erate increase in brokers’ loans is looked for, however, but resulting more from heavy new financing than from stock market activity.

Packard declared an extra dividend of 50 cents. Postum announced the ac- quisition of Certo corp. About a dozen rails were boosted 2 to 7 points to new tops.

Failure of the Bank of England to raise its rate and expectation that no increase consequently would be made by the Federal Reserve, apparently encour- aged buying which received further inspiration from the strength of the “big board.” American Gas & Electric, Amerl- can Super Power A and American Light & Traction were in the fore- front of the advance of the utilities with gains of 7 to 9 points each. Electric Bond & Share and United Gas Improvement were heavily trad- ed, but-the former reacted after early gains, Checker Cab continued to gain, crossing 83, a new high, while Niles Bement bond soared 14 points and Deere 5.
