HALF OF MODERN EUROPE’S ARMY OF SPIES ARE WOMEN

STONY HEART AND A 'BABY FACE' NEEDED Many Espionage Chiefs Think Bright Girl Worth Platoon of Men. LOVE LURE IS URGED But the Worker Finds Growing Too Fond Herself Is Fatal. Ibis i tbe second of a of •rtiele* on the Intricate espionage system* now operating in every European • ountrv. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Pre* Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1931. bv United Press) PARIS, Jan. 13—Half of the spies m Europe today wear skirts. Spying is a profession to which many stenographers aspire, and the only stock in trade needed is a .stony heart, impervious to love and flattery, beauty and the face of a baby doll to throw the police off the track. Many of the chiefs of Europe’s underground espionage services believe that where secrets of national defense are to be wormed from young officers, one black-eyed rav-en-haired beauty can do more good than a platoon of men, well versed in the art of drawing fortifications in invisible ink. It is true, also, that other chiefs feel as strongly the other way. These hold that no woman is able to keep a secret in all circumstances. They employe no women spies in responsible posts. To take care of other nations’ women spies, they use personable young men. Love Lure Is Used These young men seek acquaintances with women spies and make love to them. The theory is that when the woman lets herself fall in love she tells all she knows. Thus these men use the love lure precisely as do the women spies. Spying seems to be more natural to women than to men, especially to women who like intrigue. Ever since Mata Hari went to work for Germany during the World ■war, and used her art of making men fall in love with her, she has been looked upon as queen of the spies. True Romance Fatal Mistake Mata Hari, like other women spies, made the fatal mistake of falling in love herself, and before long she was caught and faced the firing squad in the moat of Vincennes castle. Since Mata Hari’s passing there have been other “queens,” but none more successful than the pretty Dr. Auslander, who just a few weeks ago slipped through the fingers of the Bucharest police when they caught eighty of her male companions. Talking French like a Parisian, English like the product of a New Jersey finishing school and Italian like a Neapolitan, Dr. 'Auslander pretended to be an Austrian. She had a profound knowledge of chemistry and psychology, and evidently, too, of human nature. Her science gave her confidence and her beauty gave her power. Fools Bucharest Society The charming doctor was received by Bucharest society with open arms. She had her box at the opera and sat there nightly, glittering in diamonds and surrounded by her court of rich, young men. She was the darling of Bucharest —until the police raided a spy den and that same evening she vanished. Rumanians then remembered that when Dr. Auslander went rid-

Heavy Spending Cited in Devoe Theft Charges

|l|P

Daisy Devoe By United Preen LOS ANGELES. Jan. 13.—Tabulated checks totaling $350,000 and all drawn against Clara Bow’s account within eighteen months were presented today in superior court, where Daisy Devoe, the actress’ former secretary, was on trial on thirty-seven counts of grand theft. The checks, 1,558 of them in all, were introduced as evidence Monday, but Judge William C. Doran ordered Benjamin B. Odell, Hollywood bank manager, to take them home Monday night and "'return them today, tabulated and sorted. Dave Clark, deputy district attorney, selected five checks which he contended were drawn by Miss Devoe without authority of Miss Bow, her employer. In each case, the former' secretary contended the money was spent for household furnishings and necessities. ing, she always was accompanied by one officer or another. Her court contained a dozen officers, all rivals for her hand and smile. She kept a cool head and a cold heart, but extracted many secrets which the young officers, their ardor now cooled, regret having confided. Police said that she was the master tool of the spy band which reported to Communist organizations. Crowd Fashionable Hotels Women spies flock to the most fashionable hotels of Carlsbad, Baden Baden, Venice, San Sebastian and Ostende, where ageing and aged diplomats jjather for cures or rest. You can find them in the de luxe trains that race from Berlin to Paris or Vienna, from the Hook to Holland to Warsaw and the farther east you get the greater the proportion of paid informers among the crimson-lipped beauties in the bars and dancing palaces of the smartest hotels and night clubs of those capitals, where the winter nights are too cold for anything except the exictement of champagne and jazz bands indoors. NEXT: Russia’s espionage system the most efficient in Europe.

WHAT A WORLD OF GRIEF IT SAVES YOU! WE KNOW r a seed house that proves each season's crop of seeds in their own trial gardens before they offer them to the public. Flowers and vegetables grown from these seeds must measure up to definite standards, or else the entire crops from which the samples were taken are burned. W 7 e know a manufacturer of dry batteries who tested anew product two years before he sold a single battery to a single dealer. W r e know a manufacturer of an anti-freeze solution for automobile radiators who spent two years testing his product under all conditions before he said a word in advertising about the merits of his goods. W’e know a manufacturer of household pharmaceutical products whose self-imposed standard of purity and efficacy is even higher than that laid down by the United States Pharmaeopaeia and the National Formulary. If we mentioned their names you would recognize them immediately. You probably would say, ‘I plant those seeds,” “I use that battery,’’ “I use that anti-freeze, “My medicine cabinet contains those products.” The. four instances cited are typical of every reliable manufacturer in America. Millions of dollars are spent annually to develop, to improve, to standardize, and to take the guesswork out of merchandise. Other millions of dollars are spent in advertising to tell you about them. All of which is to say that in putting your trust in advertised merchandise you save yourself the bother, the expense, the disappointment— yes the danger—of experimenting and discovering for yourself which make of soap, breakfast food, radio tubes, lingerie, gasoline, tea, electrical device, stationery—or what-not—gives you the most service for your money.

SHERIFF KEEPS ! LYNCHING MOB NAMES SECRET Refuses to Take Action Against Men Who Burned Negro Killer of Teacher. MARYVILLE, Mo., Jan. 13. I Having methodically and with little excitement lynched a Negro accused of attacking a young white school teacher, the community of Maryville waited today to see what, if anything, was to be done about it. Sheriff Harve England, injured by a mob that took Raymond Gunn by force, chained him atop the school home where he admitted he had killed Velma Colter, and burned him i alive with the building, showed no

disposition to arrest any of the ringleaders. He admitted he knew their names. He said, however, that if either a grand Jury or Governor Henry Caul- , field asked him the names he would tell them. "I didn’t want to aggravate that mob,” England explained in telling why he had not called upon sixty national guardsmen to stop the lynching after Gunn was taken i away from him. The guardsmen had been sent to Maryville in anticipation - * trouble. “I had heard something about j tfyjsc guardsmen with their popguns.” said England. “I was afraid they would get out in the streets with those guns and hurt somebody.” The guards had no authority to interfere unless specifically requested to do so by county authorities.
