BERLIN. Feb, tit—(AP). Amer-
ican motion pictures. although. pop-
ular enough in this country to
’ terry the German picture compan-
|U. did prove to be the "best sei-
srs" of the German film world
luring 1925. This is shown by re-
siipe to ,a questionnaire sent out to
loo picture theater proprietors.
The names of only three Ameri-
can productions appear in a list of
- the twenty—one most profitable pic-
" tures of last year. one
in second
place. another in fourth and anoth-
er in eighth. All the others in the.
list are German-made films.
The questionnaire revealed that
the German public likes pictures of
historical stories and also films
wit-h local settings.
- Denouncing women's dress. mod-
ern dances of American or French
origin and other "deprived" impor-
lotions. 20.000 baro-knecd muscular
members of the United League of
Bavarian Highlanders. dressed in
brilliant [kilts with ~i'eathered, tufts
in their ceremonial hats. threaten to
use force unless the Bavarian Diet
passes a law prohibiting the “pollu-
tion of innocent» Bavarian maidens
by shameless and immoral foreign-
ers" who visit the: highlands.
The Leagues‘ resolution to the
Diet dediares that "any woman so
brazen and depraved aatto display
herself in public in vulgar and lust-
ful apparel deem-res no be punished
with imprisonment."
“A respectable maiden," the res-
olution further states. “has her
clothes well buttoned up to the
neck instead of gadding about with
nothing above and below. We have
20.000 muscular ntembers ready to
eradicate these disgusting customs
and to eliminate the prevailing
scandal by means of sound thrash-
“18!."
The “scandalous bathing of tour-
ists of both sexes" in the mountain
lakes also comes in for criticism.
The resolution says that public
bathing should be reserved for days
preceding important Catholic hell-
days. But on other days those who
have acquired the “silly bathing ha-
bit" are warned to confirm it to
their bathtubs: .

LONDON. Feb."15.-(AP) 'Queen
Mario of Roumanis has let it be
known .that she~piens to visit Lon-
don within the next few weeks. and
this has given rise to reports that
she will make this Journey the‘oc-
easion for a meeting with her son.
Prince Carol. who recently- re-
nounced his succession ‘to the
throne and his privilege as a mem‘
ber of the royal family. e
The Queen has written. English
friends that she expects. to be in
London early Tithe spring. and is;
ter to go to Bri tany to spends fort-
night at her chateau .with her
daughter. Princess Elizabeth. wife

Prince Carol has many friends in
London who are waiting for. word

union ot ‘mother and son will take
place here. .

King George. who is fond,ot lie.

new amusement if they care 'for it
in watching London’s newast sys-
tem of “merry-go-round" which has
been introduced,around the Queen
Victoria Memorial. directly in front
of Buckingham 'Palace. ~to help
solve London's traffic problem. ‘
Under the new scheme all ve-
hicular traffic approaching the Me-
morial must proceed around it in
a clockwise direction until arriving
at the point of..exit. Half a dozen
policemen have been'onduty'to help
drivers get accustomed to the rules.

Lord Dudley's house at lilo. 7
Carlton Gardenshas been leased and
converted into an annex for the re-
rcception of members' wives and
other women relatives and. friends.
The annex is connected by a special-

of the gardens. .
“You may proceed." said one of
V the fat white pigs to the Twins. He
took a large brass watch out of one
of the pockets of his blue satin suit
and looked at it closely.
“It is new three minutes to tour.
You should reach Blue Whiskers at
four fourteen if yen skate fast. But
be sure you stay on thecarpct."
“Here's my card." said the ltan~
game. "You may as well‘announcc
me too."
‘ “Certainly. sir!" said the pig. po-
litely holding out his tray. again.
Jupe. who seemed to have every-
thing ln the world in his pocket.
laid a card on the tray. neatly en-
graved with the words. “Mister
Jumping Jupiter " .
"hunter Jumping Jupiter." squeal-
ed the white pig loudly. - .
“Mister Jumping Jupiter.” squeal-
ed the line of little black pigs.
At last everything was ready!
Off started Nancy and Nick on
their roller skates between the two
lines of little pigs. followed by June
who covered twenty feet at one
same.
But when they had gene about
half way. a strange thing happened.
The two pigs near the door stepped
off the end of the carpet and it rol-
led up like a watch spring. hitting
the Twins and sending them flying
ahead like bullets. At that minute
lupo was doing one of his jumps, go
the carpet missed him" altogether.
The Twins went sailing down the
aisle and hit the lower step of Blue
Whicherl’ throne with a. bang,
"Oh!" said Nancy.
"0h!" cried Nick.

the back way and without my per-

"There goes the wicket ‘agalnl"
thought Nancy as {she scrambled to
her feet and stood as still as her
skates wuld permit. :
At that minute Jupe arrived, for
jump as fast as he could he couldn't
keep up with the‘i‘wins. He was all
out of breath and looked worried.
"I hope you are: not hurt. my

Nancy tried hard .«to tell Blue
Whiskers how it had happened that
she and Nick bed given the. door-

been playing. but all she could say
was. ”London Bridge is. falling
down." ‘ ‘ ‘ _
Poor Nick tried. too, to explain
