and It is certain they will be much
worn this season. o..
The brims are enormous. many
Of them measuring as much as
two and one-half feet from side to

boasting, one OF three feet breadth.
Most Of them are larger than the
little summer parasols that have
been revived this season.
Velvet is the favorite material,
but gagged faille is also popular.
This silk is strongly recommended
for very hard wear and makes a
most imposing hat. Felt will be
used for early autumn models

NEW CHECK ON
'NENIbERRY|S|M'
SOUGHT IN BILL
Pomerene Offers Redraft Of
Corrupt Practices Act With
Money Limits.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
Internal tional News Service.

A Congressional move to take
"Newberryism" out of the November
elections got under way today before
a special judiciary subcommittee
which met to consider reenactment
of Corrupt Practices act.
Three bills, intended to prevent
lavish expenditure of money in elec-
tions, We're considered. One measure,
proposed by Senator Pomerene Dem.
of Ohio would redraft the act which
the United States Supreme Court
virtually struck from the statute
books in its decision on the New
berry case.
The Pomerene bill would limit ex-
penditures of a senatorial candidate
to $4,000 and of a Congressional
candidate to 81, 900 in either the pri-
mary or the general election. Each
candidate would also be compelled
to file itenhized statements of money
received and expended at least ten
days before and again fifteen days
after the primary election.
Senator Shortridge Rep. Of Cali
championed the plan for an expense
limit comparable to the number Of
voters in each State and district.
He pointed out that New York can
didates are compelled to spend quad
ruple the amount spent in Nevada
elections because they are forced TO
meet so many more voters.

Ruhr coal fields and state
owned German forests.
"A new set of punitive
guarantees to assure German

"a short-term moratorium
instead of a moratorium for
two years, as Germany re-
quested.

MORO Natives Take
Flying Planes For
Dragons
by Universal Service.

The army cir service Is hav-
ing a hard time Of it trying to
convince the Moro warriors
around Jolo in the Sulu Archi-
pelago that its airplanes are
not flying dragons from the
South Seas, it was said at
headquarters yesterday.
The Moros declare the ap-
pearance of airplanes to be the
fulfillment of an old Arabic
legend in which it was threat
ened that fire-snorting dragons
would one day come up from
the south to devour wicked
Moros. 49,.
Night flying by army avi-
ators has lent color to this con-
ception, as the flames belching
from the exhaust pipes Of the
big OH bombers, together with
their head and tail lights, give
the planes an appearance ter
rifying to the natives.

ANGLO-FRENCH
ENTENTE NEAR
SNAPP|NCPO|NT
Crisis Follows Breakup OF
Allied Conference on Ger
man Moratorium.
BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
I,,N.wua ftnnaI Mare aarvleA


LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Anglo.
French entente. the chief bulwark
against complete chaos in Europe,
was menaced today as never before
as a result of the breakup OF the
allied conference on German indem-
nifty. .'.,' ,.. p.
The entente still exists, but Britain
Is standing pat in her opposition, to
Frances demands and is awaiting
the next French move. ..,
The collapse of the allied confer
ence was due to opposition between
the British. and French over the
moratorium terms that should be
imposed upon Germany. The Brit
ish were opposed to drastic condi-
tions insisted upon by Premier Poin-
care. The newspapers regard the
situation as most dangerous. The
exchange market has been shaken by
the reparation crisis, the German
mark going to APPS for one English
pound sterling, or about S56 marks
for one American dollar.
Independent Action Likely.
British official circles were pessi-
nnistic. Belief was expressed that
the interallied reparations commits
sion at Paris will grant Germany a
respite in indemnity payments. Then
France must decide whether or not
to take independent action against
Germany.
If FRANCE should take independent
action ie would likely lead to a
French economic crisis and pressure
from Great Britain, which will use
the French war debt to Britain as a
club. The French delegates to the
conference departed for home today,
having been preceded by the Bel
gians.
Before their departure the Bel
gians showed that they were ex-
tremely anxious over the future.
Whatever comes, 1t is believed that
the Italians will stand by the British.
as they supported the British view
point in the conference. Before the
breakup OF the conference the Bel.
gians, in an effort at reconciliation
made 1t known that they were willing
to accept a long-term promissory
note for their share of German in
demnity.
Poincare To Fight Moratorium.
PARIS, Aug. 15.-Premier Poin-
care today telegraphed I. Dubois,
chairman of the interaTlieG iepara-
tempt to grant an indemnity mora
torium to Germany. NJ. Dubois is
a Frenchman.
There are five delegates in the
commission representing Britain,
France. Italy. Belgium, and America.
The American delegate never votes
however, being only an official OBJ
server.
NJ. Poincare instructed Chairman
Dubois, in the event Of a tie vote,
with Britain and Italy lined up
against France and Belgium, to cite
parliamentary custom in an attempt
to secure the right to vote himself.
If successful, NJ. Dubois would then
vote in favor of France. breaking
the deadlock and giving the Franco
Belgian bloc the victory.
Slash Private Debts.
BERLIN, Aug. 15.-The German
cabinet decided today that it could
pay only SOC, 900 pounds sterling on
account Of private debts owed to
allied citizens instead Of the 1000 900

care.

FOR EAST IS EAST
This Chinaman Couldn't Under
stand "Foreign Devils"
His Description Of Feast About as Hu-
morous az " II Had Been Writ
ten With That Idea.

An old man, who declared he had
been to Shanghai, told how the for
eigners there Toasted, according to "A
Fortnight on II Cargo Boat" by Will
liam l.. Hall, in Asia Magazine. Men
and women all sat together at long
table. The table wore white clothes
and was covered with fine bowls and
foreign ch0psticGs. a man would not
sit by his own wife, but chose TO sit
by the wife of some other man. The
men all drank wine out of foreign
wine cups and before they drank they
all stood up and held their cups out
to the women. Some Of the women
had small wine cups and drank with
the men. Some of the men smoked
tobacco that was rolled into long
tubes and others had their tobacco In
rolls of white paper.
His cousin was working at the inn
and he was invited into the cookhOuse,
where they were washing the bowls
and chOpsticks. When the wine cups
were brought in he tasted some of
the wine that was left in the bottom
of the cups. Soon after tasting the
wine he forgot all about where he
was and tried to go out into the street
alone. lie could not tell whether his
feet were trying to climb up his body
or his head was trying to bite his
feet
When the feast was eaten the men
and women went into another room,
where some foreign men were making
noise on all sorts of foreign frames.
When the men made the noise all the
people jumped up and ran about the
floor. When the noise stopped they al
ways stopped, too. and then they would
stand still and hit their hands together.
Then the women would grab the arms
of the men and they would all walk
around the room, talking and laughing,
until the noise began again. Some Of
the women had forgotten part of their
clothing, but-so his cousin told him
they did 1t on purpose to please the
men. When the noise was not going.
or some or the men were not running
about the floor with the women, they
would go into another room and drink
wine at long, high table. The men
were always in hurry to drink when
they were at that high table: for they
would pick up q glass. open their
mouths and try to throw tie wine
down their throats.
When everybody was tired Of run
ming about the floor each man picked
out his own wife and they went away
In foreign carts. Some of the men.
who had no wives, kept drinking the
wine and burning the tobacco tubes
until II was almost time for the city
gates to open. Then they went or
down the road, holding to one an
others arms and all trying to sing
foreign song.

USED FOR MARKING SLAVES
Earrings Had Origin That Was
Exceedingly Prosaic.

The custom Of wearing earrings In
its primitive significance originated In
marking the slave. Later IL was
adopted as a fashionable distinction.
From the child, hanging cherries on
the ears, to the suspension Of costly
gems from them, earrings have indi-
Gated the love of adornment from CEN
turtles before the Christian era.
Today the dainty trinkets are made
to aiIix TO the lobe Of the ear by
screws which offer no Initiating pain
in the wearing-a decided improve

piercing holes I'm the daintlc-t part Of
a wcll-Shapcd ear.
Greek and Roman lrdics gave much
attention To beautiful designs, proof
Of which may be seen in museums,
which preserve the ancient specimens

at the time Of the Norman conquest.

Van Dyck's portrait OF Charles the
First depicts the monarch with a
sumptuous pearl, which formed the
melancholy bequest of his grand
daughter, the princess OF Orange, after
his execution.
Today thin gold wires may be seen
in the ears of fishermen In some To-
calities. Sailors were great observers
of the custom, though one sees fewer
now than formerly. Peasantry of
Spain, Italy and Sicily, as well as
gypsles Of both sexes. are much at
tached to the use Of earrings.
Most elaborate jewels occupied the
attention of the old masters, who OBJ
viously appreciated their decorative
adjunct to feminine features. Some
times the "enrdrops" measured three

delicate flesh tints of their wearers

the Montreal Herald.
