URGES BRIAND TO PUT LEAGUE ¥P TO HARDING Petit Parisien Says France Probably Would Accept Amendments. TARIS, Feb. 11,—The Petit Parlelen today urged Fremlar Briand publicly to address President-elect Harding on Fra.ico-American relations Immediately after March 4, explaining that France cannot renounce the League of Nations because it is linked too closely with the treaty of Versailles, but announcing that France Is ready to examine and doubtless will approve any American amendments. The Petit Parisien expressed the hope that the United States will ratify the treaty and league covenant and “not attempt to avoid responsibilities.” “France does not demand the impossible from Germany," explained the newspaper, adding: ‘•We seek America's aid for a world revival of peaceful commerce and good will.” According to the Petit Parisien. the government has "Judiciously advised" M Jusserand, French ambassador at Washington. to take measures to combat the statement attributed to Bernard Baruch and Thomas Lamont in opposition to the Paris decision on indemnity. The newspaper expresses the fear that the Indemnity decision of the Inter-allied Supreme Council may prove fruitless unless America aids by extending credits

HOUSE SAVES VEHICLE BILL AFTER JANGLE (Continued From Page One.) "you are striking at the very foundation of our Government. When confidence In j our Judges Is lost, our country Is gone.” j Representative William R. Phillips ot Glenwood eald the people would have 1 to “revert to forty-fives” when confl- ' deuce has been lost. He cited Judge A. ; B. Anderson of the Federal bench as an ■ Ideal type of American Jurist, and de- 1 clared the public has faith in him. Judge James A. Collins’ “nationally- j known probation system” came In for a scoring from Representative Paul L. Haworth, Marion County, who said that “too many of our judges are chickenhearted.” Representative Elmer R. Waters, Tippecanoe County, declared he would not criticise the Judges, but would like to strike at the pardon and suspended sentence system. He said counties spend large sums of money In trying prisoners, often resulting in a suspended sentence or a pardon after long and expensive hearings. The House concurred unanimously in the report of the conference committee on the appropriation bill. The Senate concurred in the report of the conference committee Tuesday. The bill now goes to the Governor for his signature, marking the earliest time in the history of the Legislature that an appropriation bill has been passed. It covers more than $5.000.000.

DRASTIC STEPS ARE AGREED ON IN TYPHUS WAR (Continued From Page One.) must take drastic action tu protect our people from thie scourge.’’ Senator Harrison, Mississippi, announced be would call upon the Senate to lay pending legislation aside In favor of Immigration exclusion legislation. Strong measures to combat the entrance of typhus into the United States have been taken by the Immigration service, acting In concert with the public health service, Commissioner Caminettl asserted. CAMIXETTI TELLS OF EUROPEAN CONDITION’S. “During my recent tour of Inspection In Europe, during which I visited eight countries,” said Caminetti, “I saw the great danger that confronted this country through the great hordes of Europeans planning to come to the United States and immediately upon my return strict orders were issued to all immigration stations to take the utmost precautions to prevent the entry of all persons who might bring typhus germs with them. Despite all our precautions some crsps have slipped In, but we nre confident that the plague will never get beyond the confines of the quarantine xojies.” Caminetti said that a number of countries of western Europe were aiding in the work of stamping out typhus by Inspecting and fumigating the baggage of all prospective immigrants passing through their countries to ports to take passage for America. PRECAUTION NOT ALWAYS EFFECTIVE. -The supposition Is that when the Immigrants get on board ship they are clean and free of vermin and germs," said Caminetti. "but sometimes they get In contact with Infected persons despite the utmost precautions.” Dr. J. W. Kerr, who was In charge of the hospital service at Ellis Island, accompanied Caminetti on his recent European trip. "Dr. Kerr also has had large experience and knows what precautionary measures are needed to keep down the threatened typhus plague,” added Caminetti. ‘He came back from the European trip with a personal knowledge of the Immigration situation and of course was in a position to act promptly. “We are taking every precaution in th o matter of typhus entering the United

Shapely Calf and Trim Ankle More Essential to Actress Than Looks

CHICAGO, Feb. 11—A shapely calf and a trim ankle nre more essential to the success of an actress than good looks and talent. The average theater goer, In case he or she does not get an eyefull, starts crabbing about the act. Bee Palmer, shlmmey queen, confided this today. “I have known actresses with a million dollars worth of good looks and later failed to reach stardom because they hadn’t much to show when they kicked toward the spectators,” she said. “Call ’em what yon like—legs, lirnbs or pins—they’re necessary to success.” The long legs of Charlotte Greenwood bad much to do with her success In “So Long Letty.” Ann Pennington wouldn’t be playing to packed houses if her calves weren’t shapely. And consider the case of

States,” Surgeon General Cummings said. “There is no danger of a typhus epidemic h. the United States becoming general. If we should happen to have any typhus in the United States. It would be found in congested districts of large cftles. CONSULS PUT ON GUARD. “One thing with which we are mbre concerned than typhus Is the condition of cholera. The public health service recently had asked the Department of State to order Its consuls abroad not to sign any health certificates unless the quarantine laws of the United States had been strictly complied with. “The quarantine laws of this country are very strict. It has been necessary, however, for us to exert the greatest caution because of the large numbers ot Immigrants coming from disease Infected centers. We have a corps of Inspectors in Europe covering a large number of the ports from which diseased immigrants might come. This work has been very successful. Some cases of typhus might enter but that Is only to be expected, but mistakes permitting their entrance are not general and in most cases readily corrected.” “The after-war menace to this country of Immigration from Europe was understood by the House Immigration Com-

Ruth Gordon—she has spent two months in a hospital to get her legs straightened. Miss Palmer said looks can be mended by grease paint and powder and talent acquired by hard study, but nature had to endow an actress with the subject under discussion. “They say history would be different If Cleopatra’s nose was a little longer. I doubt that. She could have fixed things up with a little makeup. But I'll wager that historians would have had a different tale to tell If her legs weren’t well proportioned. “And, take for Instance, the statue of Venus that someone spaded up lu his back yard. Do ycu think It would have been preserved to posterity If ope of the legs had been knocked off Instead of an arm? “No.”

mittee and was a deciding factor In bringing about the framing of a bill to prohibit all immigration for a period,” said Chairman Johnson of the House Immigration Committee. “I had hoped for a two years’ suspension period, but the compromise of fourteen months was accepted and the bill passed the House In this form. "We knew there was danger of typhns fever introduction into this country by Immigrants and we knew also there was danger from cholera,” said Johnson. “Immigration and medical authorities intimately acquainted with conditions abroad warned us of the perils ahead and our committee did all it could to get enacted the legislation that would protect the country from these and other scourges tha follow war. I regret the changes made in the bill by the Senate.” “BAD MAN" BOUND OVER. Esaw Harris, negro, who shot up a dry beer saloon at Indiana and Senate avenue Jan. 28, today was bound over to the grand Jury under $2,000 bond by City Judge Walter Pritchard on charges of shooting with intent to kill and carrying concealed weapons. Maurice Rice, proprietor of the place, put Harris out when he tried to start a rough bouse, the evidence showed. Assault and battery charges against Rice were dismissed.
