SAYS MOVIES" MAKE
GIRLS MORE WVAC|OUS

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept. 1S.-"Girls
will be psychologically affected by
moving pictures, says dorado Taft,
the sculptor. They see beautiful
women on the screen, then they go
home and practice for hours before
the mirror. The outcome? Grace
fui walking, pleasant faces, fine
compilations and vivacity. Still, the
hoydenish and caper-cutting movie
actresses are bad influence"
In the opinion of Miss Indiana
Gyberson, an Irish painter who has
studied in Paris and Madrid, the
movies have made American women
more beautiful.
"Ah, the rising generation of Chi
cago girls" he exclaimed, ''one sees
a far, far larger number of charming
women here now. Let them talk of
cabaret dancing and rich pastry ru-
ining the attractiveness. It is the
movies that are molding every-fresh
types of native beauty-new Ameri-
can types"
Yet she conceded that the screen
plays WELD an influence that will
work either good or evil.
Remember the recent avalanche
OF 'vamps' in Chicago?" she went
on, Girls who slinker-slouched when
they walked, rolled their eyes allur-
ingly and tried to look naughty?
They were copying the movie queen
OF the moment. Now we're getting
the athletic. vigorous. smiling girl
In the films. 1t is good. As DeMau-
passant said; All women are imita-
tive as monkeys The speedy ac-
tion of the films has made girls vi
vacious."

GENT ADDRESS BEFORE
COMMITTEE
IRISH RESISTED FOR 800 YEARS
England Cannot Establish Peace In
Ireland; Successful Revolutions
Receive Outside Help

The following article is taken
from recent address by Bourke
Cochran, before the foreign rela-
tons committee. 1t shows the BIT
terness with which the Irish are op-
posing the proposed league Of ma.
tions:
Mr.. Chairman and Senators. L
would like to begin by answering
this morning some questions that
were propounded to the gentlemen
who appeared before the committee
in opposition to this proposed league
OF nations. One of the most import
ant was that of Senator Borah, who
asked If it were true, as some gentle
men have contended on the floor Of
the senate, that If this league Of ma
tions be established 1t would prove
very effective agency through
which Ireland could obtain indepen-
dence. take it that Senator Bran
degee's question was put in ampn-
fication of Senator Borah's inquiry,
becauss he said Senator Walsh made
practically the same statement In
the course of debate. i shall, there
fore. answer both Senators together.
| think that Senator Walsh supplied
the answer to his own contention
most effectively. He said, as I re-
collect. that there were three means
by which a subject nation could ef-
feet its independence. One was by
consent of the governing nation, the
other was by revolt of the subject
people themselves, the third was by
outside Intervention, and he claimed
great credit for the proposed league
OF nations, because it prohibited but
one of those methods of relief, leav-
ing the other two open and available.
The objection to this position is that
no nation ever did achieve its indie
pendence by consent of the dominant
power. or by naked action of its own
people. Every successful revolution
OF which i have any knowledge was
effected through outside support.
The American Colonies would not
have been free but for the interven-
tion OF France Cuba would still be
under the domination of Spain but
for the Intervention of this country,
