And there are so many men in the United States that the girls under stand the art of handling men more capably, because they have more op- portunity-and doesn't practice make perfect?
 I think that English girls have more attractive voices, if I may be forgiven for saying so. From earliest nursery days we are taught to modu- late the voice to a quiet, soft tone. To shout, to raise the tone, is considered bad form," and "bad form" is the most heinous crime in England! So we are trained to be like Shakespeare lady whose

1 INDICTMENT CLIMAX TO
 THE STRANGE CAREER
 OF MADIS0N'S SANTA
By Associated press

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 26.-victor II. Arnold, former president of the bankrupt Madison Bond company, who, one year ago. posed as benef- icent Santa Claus to Madison's needy, was arrested today at Bayside, N. r., charged with using the malls to de- fraud hundreds of small investors of their savings.
 The sensational ventures of -.rnold, including an expenditure last year of $30,0O0 to afford a Christmas of plenty to the poor and various flights into the field of religious teaching. were climaxed by his indictment and arrest.
 The bond company president began to attract attention here some years ago when Norma Talmadge, moving picture actress, paid visits to two of his daughters.
 In 1921 Arnold charged officials of the bond company with embezzle- ment. At that time he went before the stockholders of his company. de- clared that dishonesty had placed af- fairs of the concern In critical con ditlon and asked that all stock be turned over to him with his personal note. running for five years as se- curity. A total of s613,000 worth of stock is alleged to have been trans ferred to Arnold, who thus obtained control of the company. The charges of dishonesty against company of- ficals broke down.
 Christmas, Arnold placed unlimited credit with the stores and asked all of the city's needy to buy what food they needed, purchase two tons of coal and have the bill charged to him. This venture is said to have cost S30,000.
