There is no doubt that the Victorian
shawl will be attached to the majority of
gowns. 1t is not of Paisley; 1t did not

Queens shawls. II Is made from a

There are certain women who, when
selecting their day wraps. prefer the
romanticism of Venice to Victorianism.
They like the long. enfolding cape. They
wrap their figures In many crepe folds.
Those who choose the shawls accentuatc
their brevity. You can take your choice.
Or you can accept both garments.
1t is natural that the popularity of
the shawl which matches the frock has
brought out more and more Spanish
shawls. but the latter are kept for the
evening. A clear distinction is made

as the world has never seen. The mid
victorians may have liked them. but one
thinks they would have better suited the

there has come about fashion for tiny

they will be lavishly scattered over the

FIRE ARM CONTROL
BILL INTRODUCED
Congress Asked to Prohibit
Unlicensed Possession
of Weapons.

Control by license over the pos
session and sale Of firearms and other
dangerous weapons in the District of
District measure introduced in the
House for the extra session today.
This measure is fathered by Repre-
sentative Luther w. Mott of New
York. and is identical with the bill
introduced by Representative William
H. Hill Of New York in the last Con-
gress.
= This measure provides that. it shall
be unlawful for any person to own
q arearm in tho District without a
written permit from the superintend-
ent Of the police. Such permits are
to be issued only to persons Of good
character who can establish the fact
affiylavits Of at least two reputable
citizens. A bond of $500 also is re-
quired. The permit may be revoked
by the police at any time.
.'It is time that a real, serious effort
is made to control the possession OF
firearms in the District" said Repre-
sentative Mott. The present law.
which gives every person a right to
purchase dangerous weapons has
without doubt, contributed largely to
the wave Of violence and crime with
which the police of the city have had
to contend. 1t is time something was
done to keep weapons OF this kind out
Of the hands of criminals. Ny bill, il
passed, will accomplish that purpose
and l shall urge upon the District
committee the necessity OF enacting it
at an early date"

PARIS. April lit is no longer
doubted in circles here considered
to have the best sources of infor-
nation that France will, either alone
or in common with the allies, take
radical action against Germany il
satisfactory assurances regarding the
payment OF reparations are not forth
coming by May /.
What form the action will take is
still only matter for surmise. but
semi-ofticial opinion is that it will be
such as to impress the German peo-
pie as they have not been impressed
since the armistice
Proposed Way Least Costly.
The occupation of the Ruhr val
ley and the entire industrial region
Of WestphaIia is advocated by some.
Others are convinced that the French
army should this time go to Berlin,
in order to make sure, they argue.
Of finishing a task which they hold
would be achieved much more cheap
through the successive application of
lesser penalties.
The temper of the French chamber
of deputies, observers consider, admits
of no doubt that Premier BRAND will
be Obliged to act or resign. He has
no thought, however, of giving Up
the task, il would appear. but will
grapple with the situation as il de-
velops May 1 with the Determination
finally to produce the effect desired.
1t is thought in official circles here
that the Berlin government is well
aware that there remains no room
for procrastination after the end of
this month. Hence. after failing to
interest the United States in her case,
as the French interpret the outcome
Of the recent correspondence between
Berlin and Washington, Germany is
understood to have made a tentative
effort to draw Switzerland into the

Prepared to Act Alone.
If the allies hesitate to go to the
lengths desired by Premier BRAND.
France, it is declared. will act alone
possibly with the cooperation Of some
of the associated powers.
1t is understood Czechoslovakia is
disposed to join in the application of
economic penalties against Germany.
and even to contribute TO military
pressure. if desired.
A change in the French govern
ment in May with a cabinet headed
by Poincare in power is predicted in
well informed parliamentary circles
in case Premier BRAND should not
succeed in putting effective pressure
upon Germany. This. it is conceded,
would be likely to mean the taking

The first time he is necessarily taken
as an experiment. Even his friends
may not be without misgivings. A
reelection comes after he has been
tested and shows that the experiment
was not failure, and the candidate
can reasonably fatter himself that
