PRINCE M’DIVANI FOR
MER HUSBAND OF BAR
BARA HUTTON IS DEAD
(By The Associated Press)
BARCELONA, Spain,, Aug. 2—Prince Alexis M’Div
ani. aged 31, divorced husband of Barbara Hutton, one of
the most colorful figures of international society, was killed
today in an automobile accident, in which a pretty young
woman companion, unknown here, was injured critically,
after he had volunteered to drive the woman, who missed
her train, to her home in Southern France.
The couple left the palatial home at Palamos of M’Div
ani’s sister, Mrs. Jose Maria Sert, where the young lady was
a house guest, in the Prince’s powerful roadster. The car
struck a culvert on a winding road and plunged into a deep
gully.
The girl is believed to be dying. She was taken to the
hospital immediately after the finding of the wrecked car
by passing motorists.
When Miss Hutton married M’Divani she retained full
control of her forty-two million dollars fortune, but it is re
ported that she gave as a wedding present to her bride
groom, a set of pearl shirt studs, a string of polo ponies and
a million dollars, in addition to a trust fund which paid him
fifty thousand dollars yearly.
Forest Rangers In
Role Get Mountain
Folk Move Valleys
MOUNTAIN FOLK IN OZARKS
TAKE KINDLY PLAN MOVE
THEM TO VALLEYS
(By The Associated Press)
AVA, Mo., Aug. 2, —A new Uncle
Sam is becoming the shepherd of the
hills in the Missouri Ozarks. No
longer is he the cunning revenooer,
come down to stalk the old still
house by the spring and carry pappy
off to jail.
This Uncle Sam proposes to make
valley farmers of the hill folk; to
remove them from barren ridges
and restock those ridges with wild
turkey, quail and deer, with white
oak, cedar and pine timberlands.
Although they have clung to their
hills and cabins in the little clear
ings for generations, the prospect
of sellin’ has brought no hostility.
Contrasted to the revenue agent
of by-gone days who lay in wait,
warily, hoping to avoid the moun
taineer’s squirrel gun, these new gov
eminent men—forest rangers all—
knock confidently at cabin doors and
engage in long whittlin’s with far
mer mountaineers as they ponder
the forestry program—and whether
they should sell out, move to valley
farms, and get government jobs in
the forest or on the roads to help
pay for the better places*
J. W. Reese, Ava bank president,
believes much of the land is worth
more than the $1 to $3 the govern
ment offers.
‘I don’t suppose there is hardly
a bit of it that is making a living,
Reese said. ‘But it will be hard to
make some of them believe that to
sell out would be a good move.
‘After all, it doesn’t take much
for the average hill family. They
raise enough corn for their corn
needs and hay for the cows; they
let the sheep, goats and pigs graze
until winter, when they butcher.
They can a lot of stuff during the
wintertime. They trade eggs, cheese
and sawed ‘stove bolts’ for overalls,
sugar salt, beans and tobacco.’
Standing sentinel over some 3,
000,000,000 acres projected as the
national forest are the recently in
stalled towers of the forestry ser
vice.
Forester George Ferreri, supervis
or of the southwest Missouri pro
jects, believes the last 20 years have
ravished the hills. The ridges have
been washed to the barren rock be
cause of the practice of burning off
the leaves. This practice, Ferreri
said, removed the cushion for heavy
rain, destroyed valuable fertilizer,
and ruined the timber. It is being
stopped.

Colored Hoad Are
Said To Be Safer
In Great Britain
BRITISH ENGINEERS ASSERT
CONCRETE ORANGE HIE
HAS ADVANTAGES
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Aug. 2, —Roads the
color of the gay orange-colored
marigold (lowers are the latest idea
tried by British highway engineers
in their extensive campaign to re
duce the toll of accidents.
Short experimental stretches of
this marigold road have already been
laid down in several parts of the
country, and Leslie Hore-Belisha,
minister of transport, has approved
further trials on a large scale.
The chief advantage claimed for
this coloring is that it reduces sun
light glare during the day and daz
zle at night. The experiment has
already been tried out in the Chan
nel islands. Here the marigold roads
were bordered by a white curb, an
effective combination which was
found to prevent glare, define the
road in all lights and to allow cycl
ists and pedestrians to be easily
picked out by the headlights.
Brown and green roads are also
being tried, but the marigold shade
seems to be favored, at least from
the optical viewpoint.
A further advantage of the mari
gold road is that pedestrian cross
ings or safety lanes could then be
marked out in different colored con
crete and so lie flush with the road.
This would be an improvement on
the steel stud system at present us
ed in Britain for marking crossings.
Military and air force authorities
are watching these tests with inter
est for their bearings on the camou- j
flage question. Concrete roads col
ored to tone with their surround
ings would be far less visible from
the air—an added protection for
airdromes and military bases.

UNITED STATES IS NOT
TAKING PROTEST OF
GERMANY ON BREMEN
(Bv The Associated Press')
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2,—The United States Govern*
ment last night termed the tearing of the Nazi flag from the
steamship Bremen “unfortunate,” but emphatically told
Germany, that American authorities were not to blame.
Furthermore, the United States stressed the refusal by
the Steamship Line officials to accept measures recommend
ed by the police to prevent any disturbances.
The note, replying to Berlin’s protest at the incident
last Friday night when the German flag was riped from the
Bremen’s bow and thrown into the Hudson river, was deliv
ered to Dr. Rudolph Lenyu, the German Charge D'Affairs,
Thursday night, by acting Secretary of State William
Phillips. Phillips stated that the leaders of the riot were
being held for trial in New York. He said that police au
thorities took every precaution to prevent the affair and
that the incident was in no sense due to neglect on the part
of the American authorities.
Women Are Called
To Form l ighting
r r
Legions Ethiopia
(By Tho Associated Press)
UNDATED, Aug. 2, — A stirring
call to tho women of Ethiopia to
arise in active fighting legions was
.-ounded by Woizero Asagadach, the
daughter of Commander Dedjaz
match Haptemikael.
She will lead her own army of
women, said the daughter of the
man who commands the Emperor's
field army.
In Geneva, Mussolini apparently
still holds out in the new formula
for East African peace. Italy views
the League Council’s moves more
optimistically, but insists that the
proposals are only tentative.
Britain suggested that Europe
pledge Italian colonial security,
when Mussolini failed to accept in
its entirity, the settlement formula
prepared by British, French and It
alian statesmen.
The commanders daughter said
that if the women would not foll
ow her in armed defense of the
country she would lead the soldiers
of her father who included the her
oes of Adua.
Scores of women volunteered to
replace men at printing plants and
other places to permit them to pro
ceed to the front.

Millions Of Dollars
Saved !>v Fed. Govt.
(By The Associated Press')
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, —
Pn.-itmasti-s General James A. Farley
told a democratic luncheon group
here today that routine govern
mental expenditures were now hun
dreds of millions of dollars per
year below what they were when
President Roosevelt came into of
fice.
The only extravagance which can
be justly laid at the door of the ad
ministration, he said, is the money
which it has expended feeding the
hungry, giving work to the jobless,
and changing business balances on
their ledgers from red to black.
Ills statement came in the form
of a lashing-out at the critics of
the administration. Farley, who
leaves tomorrow for Honolulu pre
dicted that Roosevelt will be re-el
ected in 1936.
