TALL ACTRESS HAS
 BUSHEL OF WOES
Comedienne, Six Feet Two, Yearns for Role That Will Let Her Act Uncramped.

London, Feb s-"In any other profession than mine to be tall is an asset" declares Miss Viola Tree, fla nous comedy actress and seventy four-inch daughter of Sir Herbert BeerbohIn Tree.
 "But to be a tall actreSs! says Miss Tree. That is quite another matter. The tall actress has to consider so many things when she is rehearsing. She must not walk with long strides but she must hit the happy mean or she will mince along absurdly. She when talking to a shorter member of the cast, or her height will be too obvious and make the scene ridi- culouS.
 When it comes to matters of dress the difficulty is very real. I have to think out my stage frocks very care fully indeed. although, being stock size in everything but height. I have little trouble in private life.
 You see, anything that adds to the height is dangerous. Your hats must where possible, be broad-b-immed and droop, or be of the fiat Tam O Shanter description. And shoes. I have long. narrow feet and high in steps, but a shoe to show off these good points must have high heels
 "Of course, if you, happen to be a tragedienne, height is not such a drawback; but I prefer comedy parts. But I yearn in vain. No one expects a tall woman to frivol on the stage. although they are not always serious in real life"

Largest Crowd of Season Hears Miss
 Margaret Slattery

Speaking on ''The Power of Pre- 5uo1ce, Margaret Slattery, one of the pest Known speakers in this country, dfeW the largest crowd of the season last night at the Forum of the United congregational church.
 MISS Slattery compared that power to a typhoon, and said it was like the typhus fever and the bubonic plague both of which are caused by a ger m so small that it is impossible to see it without the use of the strongest mag nlfying glass.
 There are four prejudices, accord ing to Miss Slattery, which should be oVe>non1e- racial hatred, sex prejudice, sTeed anu reIIsiot:s prejudice.
 # you hate a man because he is 1Iack, yellow, red or brown, you are sue of the enemies of the constitution a~nd are ruining it's foundation" she s<iid.
 <S for sex prejudice, You know the world can never be saved by A:eher man or woman," Miss Slattery s4fd. We are men and women but we are human first. Women learn to control their emotions more fully than men, because society compels them to do so and for that reason use certain control which men do not and do not need it. There is no reason why we should let the women do what they want. They did it during the war;

Dr. Day Spoke
 On Seeking God'

For centuries men have deme nd ed that God reveal Himself to them very definitely, in some concrete way; that He should come in the flesh and ex- perience all that human life experi- ences. Then they believed they could find Him and understand" said Dr. Day in his sermon yesterday moaning at the United Church.
 We seek God" he said. eff only we could find Him we would be con- tent and complete. He is near nearer than breathing. In Him we live and move" We want to find God who is all beautiful, for we hunger for eauty; but our hearts are darkened with fmpurity and we cannot appre- cate the beauty of the infinite ho1i- ness God is all wise, yet we cannot think His thoughts after Him. for our intelIects are dimmed with selfishness. We refuse to do His will, and there fore we cannot know His wisdom.
 Men rejected Him because He came not as they expected" said Dr. Day. He came not as a king, but shared all the drud gerry of the com mon man. There He hung between then came the miracle of he centur- ies. Because He did His great work humblIy, men rejected and despised Him, but in His cross. they found God The blood on His brow, on His palm, on His breast, taught what no word could teach. until even a sol dier, brutal. pagan. cried out, ''Surely this is the Son of God' It was the new covenant in His blood by which men were bound to Him, and through Him, to the God whom all men seek.

CHARGE MRS. 0BENCHAIN WITH CONSPIRACY IN THE
 KENNEDY MURDER CASE

Los Angeles, Feb. 6-Mrs. Made lynne Obenchain of Chicago and Ev- anston,> H., conspired with Arthur C. Burch, a former college acquaintance to kill J. Belton Kennedy, a young Los Angeles read estate broker, ac cording to the indictment in which Mrs. Obenchain and Burch were joint ly charged with murder. Burch was placed on trial Nov. 22 last and on January 16 the jury was discharged after balloting for thre days without reaching a verdict. The final ballot stood ten to two for conviction.
 Mrs Obenchain, the prosecution contended in the Burch trial, was the instigator of the alleged plot. her mo- tive being revenge because Kennedy had refused to marry her. The rela- tions between the woman and Ken nedy were established by means of letters identified as being in Mrs. Obenchain's handwriting, and found in Kennedy's room and a safe deposit From these it developed that they became acquainted in Los Angeles about five years ago. For two years a correspondence continued. and let ters written during this time con tained expressions of warm affection and two were signed Mrs. J. Belton Kennedy"
 In spite of the apparent intimacy the young woman, who up to that time was Miss MadaIynne Conner, was married early in January, 1919 in Los Angeles. to Ralph R. Oben- chain, a young Chicago attorney, who had just returned from overseas army service. X month later, however. she renewed the correspondence with Kennedy. After about a year she ob tained a divorce in Chicago and wrote to Kennedy she wanted him to go tc Chicago to marry her. Kennedy did not go and the subsequent core spondence indicated his parents were opposed to the match.
 Mrs. Obenchain started West last June and wrote Kennedy to meet her in Sar Francisco He was not there when she arrived. and she came to Los Angeles. There were several interviews. according to testimony in the Burch case, and Mrs Obenchain on one occasion took Kennedy to a fortune teller fo" ad- vice as to whether they would wed. About the same time, another wit ness declared, she said "Belton has not long to live I can almost put my hand on the spot where it will happen"
 On July IT Mrs. Obenchain wired to Burch, who was in Evanston to come to Los Angeles, adding. T need you and the friend I had last sum mer." Burch arrived here on July 24 bringing with him, according to
