NAVAL ENVOYS TRY TO BLOCK SUB WARFARE France to Submit Proposal ‘Humanizing* Undersea Struggles. RV LYLE C. WILSON United Prs* .Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb 6.—President Hoover has abandoned hope of obtaining from the London conference abolition of submarines, but reports from London are sanguine of putting "flective checks upon fuure submarine warfare. Revelation in London that France : uesday will propose a five-power cxeement to humanize submarine arfare Ls judged here to mean the ng-pending Washington subma.ne treaty will bn incorporated in lie London agreement. The United States, Great Britain, Italy and Japan have ratified the Washington treaty, but it has been ineffective since 1922 because France refused to ratify. It provided no merchant vessel could be sunk without preliminary search, and that sinking then could not be resorted to unless crew and passengers were guaranteed safety. The submarine problem is made difficult by Japanese and French building programs. The United States now possesses the largest number of submarines, seventy-six. Japan has the greatest aggregate tonnage, 60,627 divided among sixtyfour submersibles. American submarines uniformly are small and are slower than Japanese and British craft. The foregoing relates to submarines in commission. Japan is building seven submarines faster than any American battleship and mounting 4.7-inch guns. France is embarked on the greatest submarine program with thirtyfive building, eleven appropriated for and eleven authorized.

Slimness is to be desired, but in the words of an international authority “rounded slimness” should be the goal of every woman. In attaining “rounded slimness,” diet plays a very important part. Foods formerly avoided are recommended in every day’s menu. These include meat, eggs, milk and plenty of vegetables and fruit. Cereals with milk or eream and sprinkled with sugar are alao important in the diet for “rounded slimness.” Particular attention should be paid to desserts. Puddings, custards. fruit pies and ice cream not only have food value but complete the meal in a most satisfying way. Candy is also an ideal dessert. And for variation try cream cheese and crackers with jelly or jam. To avoid monotony in the diet, many foods can be improved by a little sugar. This is especially true of vegetables which often are tasteless because they do not reach the home immediately after they are picked. For example spinach, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage and peas are much improved in flavor by adding a dash of sugar. A pinch of salt to a dash of sugar is a good rule to follow. Aside from the enjoyment that sugar brings, it plays two important roles. First, it furnishes energy; and second, it b.-lps congame excess fat which otherwise be added to the body. Good food promotes health and beauty. The Sugar Institute.

ELOISE WAS SURE A NAUGHTY WOMAN Mrs. Charles C. Robinson Makes “The Marquise” a Smart Dash of Nifty Pep at the Playhouse. BY W ALTER D. HICKMAN. MEET Eloise, La Maruise de Kestournel, who is the lady of two mad love affairs outside of the conventional march up the aisle to the tune of a wedding march. The result was a son by one man and a daughter by another, neither one knowing that they were brother and sister and their respective fathers also being ignorant of the cleverness of Eloise with anyone else, the two become engaged. Then the Eloise arrives and naturally decides that such a marriage Ls out of the question. In other words. I am trying to dish up all the scandal, dressed up In

smart attire of the Paris of 1735, : which Noel Coward has crowded j into the three acts of “The Marquise.” “The Marquise” is now being pre- ! sented by the Civic Theatre at the Playhouse on North Alabama street. It was disclosed for the first time in this city last night at the Play- , house before probably the largest first night audience of the season. There is no chance in the world to take this comedy seriously, because it skates over very thin ice without getting a single skate wet. In plain words. “The Marquise” is a nifty, done up in tantalizing form. It just approaches the edge and then goes skating off in another direction to get dangerously near the water. In addition to Coward’s admitted cleverness in dishing up the double private scandal of a beautiful woman, the production is notable because of the pretty costumes of the period in which the story is placed. It is a costume comedy dressed up in quaint, attire, but with all the characters being plainly and openly human. The really outstanding accomplishment of this nifty, is the work of Mrs. Charles C. Robinson as EloLse. Mrs. Robinson is making her first appearance with the Civic Theatre. George Somnes, the director, must have had a grand time during rehearsals, because Mrs. Robinson brings to the Playhouse a splendid • legitimate understanding of acting. She knows how to speak her lines ! in naughty fun and she knows how ! to back tip the spoken word both by action and the look in the eye. Mrs. Robinson, to my way of thinking, gives the cleverest performance yet revealed by any woman at the Playhouse. She makes “The Marquise” gorgeous fun. If for no other reason, it is well worth ' a trip to the Playhouse to see Mrs. j Robinson in action. Norman Green as Raoul again | proves that he is one of the most efficient members of this acting ! group. He has appeared many | times in other productions, and may l be relied upon to always deliver. Mrs. Rudolph Stempfel Jr. does j beautifully with the role of Adri- | enne, daughter of Raoul. Reginald W. Garstang measures up very well I to what is expected of Esteban, one jof Eloise’s affairs. The entire cast is as follows: ; Raoul, Marquis de Vriaac.. .Norman Green Adrienne, his daughter Mrs. Rudolph Stemplel Jr. Esteban. Due de Satnaguano Reginald W\ Garstang Miguel, his son Robert Blabeman Jacques Almon Coble Father Clement Walker W. Winslow j Hubert Allan Miller ! Two Maids Vera Cox i Eloise, La Marquise de Kerstournel. .. Mrs. Charles C. Robinson : Alice, her maid Mrs. Edwin J. Kunst You will have a gay and a fairly ' naughty time of it when you see !

Wednesday with a matinee on Sat- ; urday. a a tt Other theaters-today offer "Follow Thru” at English's, “No. No, , Nanette” at the Palace. “Sally” at j the Ohio, “So Long Letty” at the j Lyric, “New York Nights” at the I Palace, “Evidence” at the Apollo and ! burlesque at the Mutual. UR YIELDS RARE FIND Ancient Skull Is Included in Collection. i Bv Science Service PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 6.—’The | skull of a court lady, her golden headdress awry, but still clinging to j the head, is a remarkable relic from , Ur of the Chaldees, which has been | shipped to this country for exhibi- ' tion at the museum of the University of Pennsylvania.
