MENTAL CONDITION OF TRUE PUzzLING

Murderer's Commentaries

London, July 21-Is Ronald True

London, July 21-Is Ronald True insane?
 This question is still causing a sen- sation in London, although the storm against the reprieve for this convicted murder, son of titled lady, has som mewhat subsided.
 True, who cut a width swath in America and who married an Ameri- can girl and created wide publicity for himself by his escapades in Hous- ton, Texas; Buffalo, N. Y-; San Fran cisco and other cities, is lingering in the Broadmoor Asylum for the In sane at present, but there is no assur- ance that he will remain there.
 eff True became sane tomorrow he would go back to prison, and there would be nothing to prevent his being hanged.''
 In view of this statement all Lon don is wondering whether True may yet be declared sane and sent to the gallows for the murder of Olive Young.
 True's own commentaries on his l mental condition are causing some thing of a sensation. After he was sentenced to death dancer in one of the London thea tres, which have just been made pub lie.
 'sIt has taken this trial of mine to show me just how crazy my friends | those witnesses had reared up on | their hind legs and stated in no un- certain manner just what they thought, plus the evidence of five doc tors I am almost convinced myself" True has disclosed to his dancer friend that he has written a warn ing against women for his infant son.
 .'In case things do go bad with me. | and they eventually drop me, I'm | leaving a kind of essay on Women to be read by nE son when he attains the age of sixteen," True wrote. "One | thing I insist upon is that before he | thinks of marrying (this is perhaps | badly stated, as if he stops to think he will never marry) he must go and | live among mules for at least two years. The experience thus gained will give him slight, very slight, in- sight into the workings of "oman's After this tirade the dancing gir wrote to True and informed him that he was too stern in his judgment o1 women, to which True replied:

 True's anxiety for his son is showl
 in a letter in which he wrote: "The hardest part of all this affaf

POLICE SUPERVISE
 MORALS OF FRANCE
Gendarmes Must Decide
 Whether Legal Code Ap- plies to Spooning in>Park.
By HERBERT M. DAVIDSON International News Service Staff
 Correspondent

Paris. July 22 = Just what would make a Paris policeman blush?
 The question is only remotely re- marily legal. For, according to signs which have been placed conspicuous ly about Paris public parks and squares. it is forbidden to assume at titudes which might shock public taste" And the criterion of public taste is that of the policeman.
 Does the law prohibit spooning? Holding of hands? Kissing? Con-
 Only the mustached gendarme may say. He is the judge of morals, the Mrs. Grundy of Paris.
 ''The Creator of the first public square forbade those who frequented it to eat apples" comments the Bon soir, in a decidedly "Frenchy'' editor ial paragraph, And Adam and Eve soon learned what it cost to trans
 "Since the days of that model gar den the number of public squares has multiplied.
 parks, but it is still forbidden to throw apple peel on the sidewalk"
 The writer demands to know just at what moment the law expects public is to say, at what instant does the re- doubtable pendarme commence to blush?
 Police Easy Going'' "It must be admitted" continues the article. that the patrolman of the public parks are easier-going than the Guardian Angel outside Eden. They have no flaming sword, merely a little rapier that scares mob body. And their get-up is less terrifying than that of the founder of their profeS- sion.
 "But there still remains a distinct trace of inherited glory" which the writer discovered when he interview ed a park policeman patrolling his acre of Paradise.
 How do you know when anything | is shocking?' he asked the gendarme
 ''Why-er," said the man in the uniform, that's easy. IT just see it, that's all.''
 "But, more definitely-a kiss, fo, instance?"
 That depends. A mother may kis: her daughter, or friends arriving from | the country may kiss their greeting | without harm"
 "But if the kisses continue. in mum Der, in-in quality?"
 l The patrolman thought. Finall. he admitted that the shorter a kis | was the more moral it was and that i | a kiss continued long enough it migh make him blush.
 After weighing the question fo some time, he decided that, on tn whole, kisses indu1ged in on secluded benches were less subversive of pub1i taste than those committed in tn open, 'in front of women and chil dren, you know" As for spooners he had enough to do walking his bea

LEAGUE TIRED OF
 AUSTRIA'S EVER
 PRESENT TROUBLES

London, July 22-(By the A. P.)- Uncertainty regarding Ita1y's attitude toward the Palestine and Syria man dates may cause the council of the League of Nations which has been in session here all this week, to post pone decisive action on the draft mandates until it's next meeting in September.
 The council is giving close study to Austria's situation in the light of re- cent events and is much encouraged by the reported willingness of the reparations commission to suspend it's claims against Austria for twenty years.
 A statement issued by the informa- ton department of the league today said:
 We are getting rather tired of hearing that Austria is on the brink of collapse. She has been on the brink of collapse every few months for the last three years, and she may live a long time in that state: The danger is not really in financial col lapse but political troubles.''

 The woman vote. it Is conceded by all, will prove a determining factor in the races in both parties. Women, generally, are not considered amen able to party discipline, and Just where they will line up is very much of a mystery at present.
 The race for the senatorship, all though both leaders have opposition, is counted upon as q waIkaway for Senator Atlee Pomerene and Con- gressman Simeon D. Fess.
 Pomerene, who is looked upon as the probable nominee of the Demo- cratic party for President in 1924, should he again be elected to the Senate, is opposed by John J. Lentz, of Columbus. a former Congressman. The senator, however. Is strongly supported in all sections of the state and is a heavy favorfte III all betting.
