OF Toronto Man
Still Mystery
Missing Millionaire Not A,
Des Moines as Announced
By Detective; Case Of
Mistaken Identity.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. Is. - The
disappearance of Ambrose J. Small
from his Canadian home is as much
a mystery as ever so far as any clue
developed in Des Moines is con-
cerned. He is not here as an
nounced by private detectives nor is
he believed to have been here since
his sudden disappearance in Decem-
Der, 1919.
The man. the detectives said they
believed to be the Toronto theater
owner, was located at the Polk coun-
ty poor farm late today by newspa-
per men. He is John Daugherty, a
helpless man without a home.
Daugherty suffered the loss OF both
legs when run over by train in
Des Moines on December 4, 1917.
He has been a patient at the poor
farm since early in 1919.
1t is assumed that the habeas
corpus proceedings instituted by
Chief of Police Saunders against
John ]. Brophy and Frank Harty,
the private detectives, will be
dropped

BRAND To
Attend u. S.
Conference
France First Nation to An.
nounce Representative to
Disarmament Conclave to
Open Armistice Day.
Appropriation Is Asked
BY The Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. l5.--The hope
OF American officials that. the dis
armament conference will be diplo-
matte conclave OF the first order was
strengthened today when France in
formed the state department that she
would send her premier, Aristide
BRAND, at the head OF her delega-
ton of diplomatists.
The decision is expected to be
followed by similar moves on the
part OF the other powers, investing
the gathering with extraordinary
significance and giving it much of
the plenary authority that was pos
sessed by the council OF heads Of
states" at Versailles.
The French information came in
the form Of message from M.
BRAND, transmitted through the
American embassy at Paris, saying
merely that the premier would take
pleasure i'll personally, representing
his country at the conference. 1t
was the first formal acceptance TO
be received from any Of the invited
nations.
Appropriation Asked.
Meantime, the administrators
preparation Of its own part in the
conference was advanced BY re-
quest sent TO congress for an ap-
preparation of 100000 as an initial
budget to pay expenses OF the Amer
lean representatives and OF a secre-
tariat- general The estimate, worked
out by the state department and
the budget bureau, was takeE under
committee consideration Immediately
in the senate and probably will re-
ceive favorable action in the near
future.
The sum fixed in the request and
the data accompanying it apparently
disposed of any expectation that this
government would pay expenses of
any of the visiting delegations, for
congress was informed specifically
that the money was to be used for
the American delegation and tor the
acknowledgement alone.
May Ask More Later.
1t was indicated that later ap-
preparation would be asked should
the printing. bill exceed present
expectations or should the confer
cnce last more than two months.
In making the request. President
Harding merely transmitted with his
approval, letter written by Under
secretary Fletcher Of the State de-
partment. who has been placed III
charge OF physical arrangements tor
tie conference and who prepared his
estimates after conference with
Director General Dawes OF the bud
get bureau. There was no attempt
10 divide the sum into separate
items.
In the senate, it is likely that the
requested appropriation will be at
tacled to the shipping board appro-
priation bill.
News that the French premier
would attend the conference was re-
ceived with manifest satisfaction
here, for there has been great ex-
pectation that should one OF the
powers decide to send its premier,
the others would do likewise i'll the
interest OF fair representation. 1t
is considered doubtful, however,
whether all of the invited nations
will follow the French example OF
announcing any part Of the per-
sopnel of their delegations at the
time OF formally accepting place n
TIE conference.

the figure like a shawl or mantle.
But scarfs for dreSsy evening wear
interest few people as compared to
those for daytime. Fashion has taken
a sudden fancy to make much Of these
and approves them in several styles.
Foremost among them are the angora
models for street and sport wear
that may be described as wide and
wider, and along with them the mar
rover scarfs of angOra or other wool
yarns, or of silk, that are worn with
tailored suits and frocks.
/ Very wide angora scarfs are con-
verified into wraps by the simple ex-
pedIent of furnishing them with a
long yarn girdle. finished with heavy
yarn tassels at the ends. This girdle
is of three strands of yarn, plated to-
gether, and usually in the colors that
appear In the border of the scarf.
The girClIe is slipped through two eye
let's near the center Of the scarf and
through one near each end. Thus
when the wrap is adjusted the girdle
disappears at each side Of the back
and Feappears across the front. The
border Of the scarf becomes a collar
and the elasticity Of the knitted fabric
makes IL set well on the figure In q
