FRENCH
BEAUTY EXCELS
AMERICA s
It Is From Shoulders to Hips,
Alma Rubens, co-Star in
Enemies of Women Says.

American women far exceed the
French in beauty of face, form
and feet, according to Alma Rubens,
co-starred with Lionel Barrymore
in Cosmopolitan's striking picruri-
zation of Vicente Blasco Ibanez'
novel, Enemies of Women"
The French woman, however,
Miss Rubens qualities, is more
beautiful from neck to hips than
the fair ones of this country.
During the stay Of the Cosmopoli-
tan company in Paris, where nu-
merous scenes for the latest and
greatest Ibanez film were taken,
Miss Rubens had ample opportunity
to study the types of femininity
for which the gay metropolis is
famous.
She visited the noted cafes, the
playhouses and was received cor
daily in the great homes of the
city. With the unmatchable gift of
human appraisal possessed by a
beautiful woman, Miss Rubens OBJ
served the people in her circles
with keen concentration, and
reached several conclusions as to
the comparative excellence of the
American and French feminine
form.
The body lines of French women
from the shouldert to the hips sur
pass corresponding beauty in Ameri-
can womanhood, according to Miss
Rubeng.
The reason lies in the fact that
American girls seek the straight-up-
n mi ad 70
boyish-a fashion suited to the
flappers' sport clothes.
Miss Rubens herself has a rare
form adapted with equal effective
ness to American and French frocks
She will be seen in many such
models when Enemies of Women"

MAINE WILL FIGHT
Continued from Page One)

Maine law of 1909 prohibiting the
transmission of electric current out
side the State, would be held uncon-
stitutional. For that reason l have
advocated plasing upon every hydro
eledtric charter a clause that prev
ents the transmission of electric
current beyond the borders of the
State. This is called the Baxter
amendment"
"The people Of Maine still have an
opportunity to protect themselves
even if the 1909 law is held invalid.
Beginning in 1917 I have been re-
sponsible for placing upon every new
hydro electric charter, and upon
every one that sought an amendment,
restrictive clause that prevents the
shipment Of electricity into other
states. This is the only sure way to
protect our rights. and if every Maine
charter had this clause we would not
be disturbed over the 1909 law or the
decision of the U. S. supreme court.
The theory Of this is that the State
itself can limit the purposes and
powers Of the corporations organized
under its laws.
"Shrewd lawyers have felt for n
long time that Names 1909 law would
not hold in the U. S. courts, and the
power companies have been of the
same opinion. For that reason they

hotel earlier in the evening of the
raid.

sleeping on the couch when the dep
uties arrived to seach the hotel. He
said that there had been no drinking

by Taylor. Attorney Martin address,
ed the court, claiming an entire alb
sence of any evidence tending to
show that a nuisance existed at the
place. Judge Cony found probable
