MEXICO FAVORS
INTERNATIONAL
BOARD Of A|M|TY
sursum Proposal for Joint
Board Said to Be Accorded
Support by obregon.
By International New. Service.

The proposal TO name an interna
tional commission TO consider all
aspects OF the question OF recogni'
ton for the Obregon government in
Mexico will meet with a hearty re-
sponse from the Mexican govern
ment, according to reliable informa
ton here today.
The Mexican embassy has already
telegraphed to Mexico City the pur.
port OF the plan OF Senator Bursum
OF New Mexico, now under considera.
ton by President Harding. and IL is
expected that an immediate Response
will be received.
Senior Don Manuel G. Tellez,
charge d'affaires of the embassy,
stated he was much interested in the
proposal, and. speaking from II
purely personal point of view, said
that he saw no reason why Senator
Bursum's plan should not prove
feasible. He also indicated his belief
that II would prove acceptable to his
government. though he could make
no official statement on the subject
before hearing from Mexico City.
Inc DuTbuHn pldH' IL was pOlulSu
out, is somewhat similar to the sug-
gestion made some time ago by Mex.
leo that an international commission
be named for the adjudication OF
claims outstanding between the
United States and Mexico. An in.
formal invitation was extended to
the United States at that time,
through the Mexican embassy here,
to name representatives on a com.
mission to settle claims of Amer.
cans against Mexico, and vice versa,
The plan advanced by President
Obregon contemplated a separate
commission for each of the countries
having claims against Mexico, SO that
the body considering American
claims would have handled only
those in. which Americans were in.
terested.
This proposal, which was regarded
in some quarters as an excellent
means OF bringing about a resump-
ton OF diplomatic relations without
the formality OF signing a treaty, a
matter regarded as Objectionable in
some quarters IN Mexico, was never
accepted by the State Department.

Documents Offered to
Refute Myers Denial
In Aircraft Inquiry
BY Universal Service.

Documentary evidence has been
produced by Congressman Roy o.

assistant to the Attorney General,
that he had anything to do with
certain aircraft cases in which he
was charged with blocking investi.

The particular cases in which
Myers was declared to have figured

officials to Inadequate appropriations

z8 YEARS IDEAL
AGE FOR MOVIE
STARS IS CLAIM

Chicago, June 12.--"Old maids
need hang their heads no longer. :"
The ideal age for a heroine of
moving picture romance or OF love
stories generally Is today 28 years,
an age that only few years ago
was regarded by the general pub
lie as fixing woman definitely In
the ranks of confirmed spinster-
hood. This is the conclusion made
from careful study Of the $4,000
love stories which the lay public,
amateurs from all walks of life,
wrote for the scenario contest re-
Gently conducted by the Chicago
Daily News. Representing not
what scenario and magazine edi-
tors or writer's guess the public's
choice to be, these manuscripts
were first hand information on
the actual tastes OF the people
who buy books and who attend
moving picture exhibitions.
Striking unity among the ma
tionally scattered contestants up
on the subject of the heroine's age
is among the first things to be
noted by the judges" said James
Shryock, director Of the contest
today, announcing the facts as
brought out by the competition.
1T is too general to be accident
al and represents undoubtedly, a
country wide change In ideals.
Few of the heroines are in
their teens, only a handful, are
in their very early twenties, the
great majority are around 81 and
2S, the authors seeming to regard
this age as woman's best and wo-
man as more beautiful, intelligent,
poised and attractive there than
previously. The judges declared
that the age OF the Ideal heroine
had been advancing steadily since
the 1905 when girl of 16 or II
was regarded as romantically per-
feet. 4
The judges explain this.by cit
try, politics, education and by
pointing out that woman today
refuses to grow old and takes bet
ter and more intelligent care of
her beauty than she did In early
periods, In the stories written by
women, 60 per cent Of the total,
the heroines were on the average
four to five years older than in the
stories written by men.
