NAVAL PARITY GREAT STRIDE TOWARDPEACE MacDonald Almost Ready With Anglo-American Agreement Terms. POWERS SESSION NEXT Successful Parley Is Likely to Clarify Other Arms Questions. BY HENRY WOOD United Pres Staff Correapondent GENEVA, Sept. 4.—Premier Ramsay MacDonald’s announcement of an approaching Anglo-American naval agreement was regarded today at the League of Nations assembly as one of the greatest post-war strides toward peace since conclusion of the Kellogg pact. MacDonald's announcement that he would be in position to place the terms of the proposed agreement before the assembly prior to the close of the present session will make it possible for the assembly to organize more definitely the work of the preparatory disarmament commission which is to meet in the middle of November. The Anglo-American agreement undoubtedly will envisage, as the next step, a five-power naval conference, and the assembly is therefore expected to instruct the preparatory disarmament commission to confine its deliberations at the November meeting to questions concerning military and aerial armaments, leaving the naval aspects of the situation alone until the five : powers will have come to an agreement. Agreement Easier It was admitted today, however, j the general prospects of an agree- i ment among the naval powers will render easier an agreement on military and aerial differences. Members of the assembly were especially enthusiastic over the viewpoint of both MacDonald and President Hoover that disarmament must be approached not from the standpoint of preparation for war but from a sincere conviction that the nations intend henceforth to settle their disputes peacefully and regard naval armaments necessary j only insofar as they were needed to j protect commerce, trade routes and overseas territories. In the address delivered Tues- j day by M. Adatchi, Japanese am- i bassador to France, the assembly j perceived a hopeful sign that Japan, as one of the five powers, would place no serious obstacle in the path of naval disarmament. Senator Raoul Dandurand. Canadian delegate, announced in the assembly that Canada also will sign the optional clause of The Hague court protocol during the present assembly. It was the first response from the dominions of MacDonald’s plea lor imperial adherence to compulsory arbitration of the court in juridictional disputes. China Wants Revision China’s determination to liberate her territories from foreign influence and control came forcefully to light when Chao Chu Wu. Chinese minister to the United States, addressing the assembly, appealed for the revision of “unequal and obsolete’’ treaties. Wu's appeal strengthened the conviction in many league circles that behind China's seizure of the Chi-nese-Eastern railroad lay the resolve to make the expulsion of Russian influence from Manchuria the first big step in a general movement to rid the country of all foreign economic and political influence. The demand for the revision of the old treaties would affect Grea‘ Britain and Japan as well as Russia. Disagree at Capital Fu T'nited Press WASHINGTON Sept. 4.—President Hoover and -ection of Republican senate’ opinion appeared today to be in disagreement over naval reduction, especially regarding the extent to which the United States should build new cruisers. Chairman Hale (Rep.. Me.) of the senate naval affairs committee was summoned to the executive offices late Tuesday and upon emerging said he thought construction of the entire fifteen cruisers authorized by the last congress would be necessary. The President frequently indicated belief part of the program might be dispensed with if AngloAmerican naval reduction negotiations were successful. It is emphasized at the White House that the number of cruisers to be built depends upon the hoped-for AngloAmerican understanding. BOY CHARGES ABUSE Father Beat Him for Taking Potato and Onion.

THIS HAS HAPPENED HELEN PAGE feels unhappy when the girls at the Spann boarding school tease her about being Miss Simplicity fust to please her handsome guardian, Leonard brent, who supplies her with ample funds and smart frocks which are brought from Paris for her by a woman friend whom Helen has never met. The fact that he has never permitted her to meet any of his friends worries her. too. But she will not question his reason even though her roommate. SHALLIMAJt MORRIS, taunts her about shrinking back without speaking one afternoon at the Rite when they see him there with a striking looking woman. Shalimar accuses Helen of being in love with Brent; calls her a fool to give up smoking, dancing and parties for him. and ends by saying that “There’s something wrong witn the picture.” But Helen dares not reveal her infatuation, or tel! the girls that she knows nothing of her parentage or early life. NOW GO WITH THE STORE “Wear the blue—silver’s overdue,” Shallimar advised. “And here’s a bar of that soap Aunt Cecilia sent from Hungary. You'll love the odor. It’s lasting, but that won’t matter since your arbiter won’t permit- you to use perfume.” * a a a “T TE doesn't object to a delicate sceat,” Helen corrected as she took the cake of clear green soap and disappeared into the hall She ran down to the bathroom, but, early as it was, she found all the tubs and showers in use and had to wait ten minutes for her turn.

HOOVER PROUD OF AVOIDING CATCHTITLE’ President Escapes Being Cataloged by Any Single Phrase. HE ABHORS FANFARE - r Personal Habits and His National Policy Not Sobriquet Basis. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Looking back upon his first six months in the White House, President Hoover derives his greatest personal satisfaction from che realization he has not been cataloged and tagged with a sobriquet. He has evaded the great American urge to classify and symbolize a new administration with a single word or phrase. He has fished more than most Presidents in recent years, but he is not “the Fisherman President.” He has made only three public addresses, but is not “Silent Herbert Hoover.” He has demanded drastic retrenchment measures in the postoffice and war departments and yet has not inspired the term, “Hoover economy.” Proud of Achievement The President remarked this subtle achievement of his first year with a smile of pride. He regards it evidence his policy against ostentatious fanfare and showmanship in transaction of government business has been successful, he has confided to White House aids. Veteran attaches of the executive offices do not recall another instance in recent years in which the President was not cataloged in his first six months in office. Many of President Hoover’s friends anticipated in March that “efficiency” quickly would become the hallmark of the new administration, but in his public utterances, papers and messages Mr. Hoover has mentioned the word but once, in his message to congress last April. Misses Soubriquet Commissions have been turned loose upon the evasive facts of prohibition, child welfare, the Nicaraguan canal, agricultural rehabilitation and half a dozen lesser problems. But President Hoover has yet to see himself characterized as “the lord high commissioner,” or “the commissioner-general.” Similarly, he has pressed vigorously on several notable occasions for the advancement of world peace without having earned the sobriquet “the Quaker President.”

SLAYER GETS FUND Monrovia Residents Aid Harry Briggs’ Defense. Contributions of $l2O, given by Monrovia (Ind.) residents for the defense of Harry Briggs, 37, of 2827 Moore avenue, former resident of the town, who is charged with murder, were turned over to T. Ernest Maholm, attorney, today. Briggs is awaiting grand jury action on the charge of murdering Clyde Smith, 35, or 840 North East street, as the latter sat on Briggs’ porch the night of Aug. 24. Briggs is alleged to have discharged two loads from a shotgun into Smith’s back because Smith paid “too much attention” to Mrs. Briggs. The contributions were brought to Indianapolis by a brother of Briggs, Herman Briggs of Monrovia. A statement from the contributors said they had faith in Briggs and desired to aid him.

It did no good to grumble even if you had to hurry back to your room and content yourself with a sponge bath, aided by a rubdown with cologne. The facilities for luxurious living at Miss Spann’s were limited. Still, the school had a reputation for worthiness that kept its enrollment full and things went on as they were. When Helen returned to don her crepe de chine dancing set and the periwinkle dress, she was aglow with well being and happy anticipation. Shallimar stood and offered wellmeant suggestions that were ignored entirely. No, not even a hint of lipstick, and certainly no eye shadow. Helen was firm. “Not that you need it,” Shallimar cajoled, “but there isn’t a woman bom who can't be made more beautiful. And you want to look beautiful, don’t you?” Helen consented to having her slightly water-shined nose powdered and she allowed Shallimar to arrange her heavy hair in a way that permitted one adorable little ear to invite a caress, but that was as far in modem allurement as she would go. Finally Shallimar announced herself satisfied. Helen gave her a swift hug. “It’s funny about you,” she said impulsively. “You hate to see me going out with Leno, I know you do. and yet you do all you can to make me devastating to him. Why is it, I wonder?” Shallimar shrugged. “I suppose

Fine Arts Exhibition Attracts Keen Interest of Fair Goers

Plaster casts of the portrait heads of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E.

With but few exceptions, prizewinning sculptors have received their training at the John Herron Art Institute of Indianapolis, officials said. C. Warner Williams of Oak Park, 111., and Robert Davidson of Indianapolis are among the Herron trained sculptors who are foremost prize winners. Other Indianapolis exhibitors are Anthony J. Lauck, Joe Willenborg, Helen Woodward, Emma Sangernebo, Paul R.

it’s because when two women aren’t after the same man they are allies against all men.” “I hope I can do as much for you some day,” Helen acknowledged. “Which wrap shall I wear? I want to be downstairs when Leno comes.” “You don’t want to lose a minute before asking him about last Saturday, do you?” Shallimar teased. “No, I wouldn’t dare do that,” Helen told her, “but there’s something he has promised to do for me. I'm anxious to remind him of it.” She was in the closet now, running her finely modeled hands over the row of wraps that hung there behind a cretonne curtain. She seemed uncertain of her choice. Her mind was not on the wraps. She came out with a black and white one. Shallimar gasped. “Helen, not that! With blue slippers?” Helen regarded it. “It would be a bad combination, wouldn’t it?” She threw it on the bed and turned back to the closet. This time she selected a gray velvet. a a a THE nod of approval Leonard Brent gave her a few minutes later rewarded her for her exercise of taste. Helen's hands trembled as Brent took them in his own and kissed their fingertips. It was not a serious gesture, but it delighted the girl, whose love of romance, and love of love itself, had settled upon this handsome, worldly man.

As he bent his head and looked at her from dark eyes that turned up slightly at the outer corners, following the line of his satanic eyebrows, her heart pounded lyShe could not fathom that took, part mocking, part triumphant, part amused. But Leonard Brent could not be wholly laughing at her. Oh yes, she was aware that he knew of her feeling for him. There was something in his glance that made it possible to endure his knowing; something not altogether of mockery and amusement, “You’re looking lovelier than ever,” Brent said to her and the words were uttered warmly. Helen longed to say that he too, was looking very well had she not felt it would be too artless to compliment him. He might want her to be simple, but not a simpleton. But she allowed her eyes to feast upon him and Brent understood her as though she had spoken. He permitted no hint of his understanding to show in his manner. A long and varied experience with women had accustomed him to their admiration. Helen’s feet seemed scarcely to touch the flagstone walk as they made their way out to Brent’s car, a long, narrow convertible. Tonight it was open and Helen had an instant of regret that she was not to sit in the delicious intimacy it afforded when closed. But the feel of .(Tain to Page 111 _
