MonoAN, Sin ft Correspondent. ROME, Jan. by the battle torn flags of Crown Prince Humbert's own regiment, 20,000 men of arms, the flower of Piedmont, paraded before Marie Jose today in a continuation of the brilliant ceremonials marking her marriage throne. It was to the heir to the Italian a colorful demonstration of, the force supporting the crown which, some day, she will share with her husband. In a royal box at the Parlll parade ground, beneath a gorgeous canopy of crimson damask, Humbert's bride, surrounded by those kings, queens and lesser nobility of Europe who witnessed her wedding In the Pauline chapel yesterday, saw a military spectacle more vivid and inspiring than any military maneuvers of modern times in this city.

Every branch of the service contributed a proud contingent to the maneuvers, while a squadron of military avaltors above the parade ground performed daring feats in h6nor of the regiments, Including royal couple.

And as his oWn men marched past, Humbert stepped out from the royal group to accept their military homage. Squadrons of cavalry, among them the noted Florence Lancers, paced past the reviewing stand, followed by picturesque Colonials, Spahls, Lybians and Arabs from Tripoli in white burnooses.

The display varied from the nine regiments of black-shirtcd fascist militiamen to Bersaglierl companies In their spectacular feather-trimmed hats. Detachments of sun-tanned soldiery on camels, direct from the desert, were followed by Alpine troopi bearing war- torn battle standards. Two regiments of marines were In line, and several detachments from the; military and naval academies gave additional color to the rcenc. In this of arms, bursts ot military music from bands which alternated with the Belgaln, Italian and fascist anthems, lent an atmosphere of gaiety to the scene. More than 300 airplanes maneuvered breath-taking formation, and two Irigibles added their impressive trcnglh to the picture.

Suddenly the aviators maneuvered ito the rriost amazing aerial formation vcr seen over this city. With all 300 Irships participating, they formed six onccntrlu rlngj, the lowest flying at altitude of 600 feet and the highest 3,000, giving the appearance of a igantlc inverted cone. The diameter the lowest ring was about 3,000 feet. For nearly half an hour these thun- planes flew after each other in ircles, finally emerging into company ormation and flying directly over the oyal box.

bv Stvle Sources. NEW YORK, Jan. milliners are active at the moment in creating new ideas and new models. Hats lave definite or indefinite silhouettes nd are undergoing several interest- ng changes. One of the mflst impor- ant Is tho higher crown which is be ng offered by Reboux among others.

In accord with the higher crown is he wider brim. treated in various ways, but wider for that. One movement tends toward the cut out jack brim but in such a way as to not curtail the length. It has been an open secret fop some time that hats from now on will have some sort of a brim, the usual exception to be the several turban types being showr among which may bo mentioned various Hindu or Oriental turbans and one version known as an African bonnet. One of tho most sensational develop mcnts has to do with a possible reviva of tho stiff brim sailor.

Rose Valois l.s one of those experimenting with this idea and 'has chosen to conform to tradition by using a heavy straw in its blocking. A coarse black an white paillasson and various shiny cellophanes are being used In an at tempt to revive this mode, the only trimming permitted, of course, is a ha band of grosgrain ribbon, lacquer re being one choice. Large hats of othe types aro bound to come in to preserv the necessary balance and harmon" now that frocks have taken on bat breadth and length. CLINIC Owing to the inclement weather th attendance at the baby clinic at Clt hall yesterday afternoon was slim only eleven habits being brought i for examination. At Juniata ther were no babies brought in during th session.

VIENNA TAKES RAPIDLY TO AMERICAN TALKIES VIENNA, Jan. which prides Itself on its English-speaking ability, is rapidly taking up American talkies," as indicated by the fact that in another will have the largest number of any city on the continent. Twenty-four movie houses are "going talkie" within the next weck bringing the total td nearly fifty. Despite newspaper attacks on the aggressive technical American meth- dds which are costing Austrian movie houses tremendous sums, all but six or seven of the total will be equipped with American apparatus, thus insuring practically the complete dominance of American films in this capital. Vienna musicians have been hard hit by the changes, as the talkies are supplanting their skilled individual efforts, and there are how 3,000 artists of one type or another jobless.

Optimists point to the.fact that Vienna is far ahead of Berlin and Paris in the number of its talkies, -while the cinema houses complain bitterly that they are unable to get enough silent fllms. The Socialist and workmen's movie houses are retaining the silunt films to enable them better to show Russian-German Marxian propaganda. HARVARD BEQUEATHED $5,000,000 BY WYETH PHILADELPHIA, Jan. university was $5,000,000 richer today through a bequest of that amount in the will of Stuart Wyeth, president of John Wyeth manufacturing chemists, here. The will was admitted to probate here yesterday.

There are no strings attached to the huge gift, no stipulation been made by Wyeth as to how it should be used by the university. Wyeth was a Harvard graduate, class of 1884., In his will Wyeth also bequeathed $100,000 to former Judge James Gay Gordon, a lifelong friend. John A. Noble of Brooklyn, N. was left Wyeth was born here in 1862.

He died Dec. 30, 1928, in his apartment on Rittenhousc square. After his graduation from Harvard he studied law in the offices of George M. Dallas, and completed his studies in the law school of the University of Pennsylvania. He never practiced law, however, entering the firm of John Wyeth in which he succeeded his father as president.

NAVY CONFERENCE PLANS COMPLETED he American delegation and Premier Ramsay MaclDbnald's return to Lttittdon oday completed arrangements for the laval conference here, and the begin- Ing of Anglo-Japanese conversations las kindled public Interest In the 1m- icnding vital parley. A somewhat mixed reception has seen accorded, however, to AjacDon- ald's cautiously optimistic statement egarding the possible outcome of the onference. One object of this state- was to dispel pessimism, but he ucceeded only In making big navy advocates jumpy because they fear premier Is prepared to concede too much in order tiT'make the conference a success. From now until the conference Is jpened, Premier MacDonald is certain receive much more lecturing of this iharacter from those whose slogan las always been, "hands off the navy," others who believe the nation's laval Interests aro safe only In the hands of the Conservatives. In the view of a number of experts he brightest prbspect of the parley Is a possbile holiday In capital ships con- tructlon and an agreement to reduce onnage and gun calibre of future hips of that class.

It is believed that the admiralty avors ships of from 18,000 to 20,000 ons, mounting 12-Inch guns. Although Germany's powerful jocket battleships, It Is Improbable hat British naval leaders would agree the SCHOOL OF MISSIONS HOLDS FIRST SESSION The first meeting of the school ot missions of the Second Presbyterian church was held last evening in the church with eighty-eight guests present at the supper at 6.15 o'clock and 143 present at the session at 7 o'clock.
