Conference Badly Strained
While the conference is badly

In Turkey, there are many private con-
ferences going on between the dele

out whereby the Turks will be ac-

handling of the minorities problems
that they will not regard the co.
great powers in this work as an in
fringement of Turkeys sovereignty.
Experinced conference observers do
not predict a break and expect to
hear of compromises being made
within the next few days on both the
Straits control and the clauses for
protection of minorities.

Modest, Long-Haired
Girls Preferred by
Lausanne Diplomats

Lausanne, Dec 13.-Short hsr and
short skirts won little favor in the
fashion conference which Paul Poiret,
the Paris artist, conducted at the
Grand theater for the fashionable
crowds gathered in Lausanne for the
Near Eastern conference.
Ten Partisan mannikins displayed
more than 100 costumes before the ex-
elusive audience, which registered its
approval by loud applause or was
deadly silent when II mannikin moved
across the stage in a costume which
did not meet the fancy of the audi
ence.
1t soon became apparent that the
iris counted more than the costumes.
It was difficult for short haired girl
TO call forth much applause from the
young diplomats who constituted q
greater part of the male section of the
audience.
There were mannikins with bobbed
hair which was curled, and bobbed
hair which was plastered down
straight. There were both blondes and
brunettes with short hair, but they at
tracted little attention
All eyes were on the girls with long
hair. regardless of whether it was red,
golden or black They got all the ap-
plause And the more modest and de
mure the mannikin was, the greater
her popularity with the spectators.
The snappy flapper was clearly in
the discard, in the opinion of the iu-
ternational crowd gathered at Lau-
Same. and the willowly girl in ex-
tremely long skirts and with plainly
dressed hair was in favor. The prime
favorite among the mannikins was n
little Quakeress, with brown
hair parted in the middle, and simply
dressed, Her suits and gowns were all
gray or blue, and whenever she ap-
peared on the stage the applause was
deafening, while the more flashy man
nikins, walking with great affectation
and dressed in conspicuous red and
yellow gowns, were greeted with little

Spokane. Wash, Dec 13-Charges
that John d. Rockefeller financed the

ton, were made here Wednesday aft
ernoon by Charles s. Barrett, presi-

the investigation made by the country
life commission appointed by the late
President Roosevelt Mr.. Barrett was
a member of that commission.
According to Mr.. Barrett, the farm
bureau was organized TO prevent farm
ers from following radical movements.
