SAN FRANCISCO. November s.
And now 1t is the fapper in her
youthful insouciance. particularly the
college coed, who must pay the PEN
atty for too much speed.
She must keep her foot off the gas.
If she don't she will soon have
right calf that will not conform at
all with the shapely charm of her
left.
That driving a car has its penal
ties for youthful members of the fair
sex was revealed here today in
bulletin issued by DR.. Herbert r.
Stoltz, state director of physical edu-
cation. The bulletin is aimed at all
young women who drive automobiles.
It's moral is don't"
Two Kinds Of MaIformation.'
Driving as chariots and using the
right foot to play tunes with the acS
celerator is rapidly marking young
women with two kinds of malforma-
tion, asserts DIR. Stolts. One of them,
which medical men already have
dubbed "bulging shin," is likely to
ankle and the knee, but usually about
half way.
1t comes from over development of
the elongated muscles covering the
shin bones. Once started it makes
the usual smooth frontal lines of
feminine underpinning look as bumpy
as a Kansas gumbo road.
The other malformation is known
as "bulging calf and is largely what
it's name implies. Constant exercise
of the foot throttle makes the mus
cles in the right calf bunchy and
.knotted and out of all conformity
with those of the left. The sad re-
suit, says DR.. Stoltz. is an otherwise
perfect girl with one leg bigger than
the other. Cars with right-hand
drives do not save the situation. In
that case it is the left leg that gets
abnormal and undesired development.
Seen as Menace to Girls.
The bulging shin and knotted calf
are particularly menace to high
school girls and college co-eds, says
the state director of physical educa-
tion, because they drive cars much
oftener than they carry books: Also
unless 1t is checked In its incipiency
by sacrificing all chances to sit be-
hind the steering wheel, the afflicted
one must make still another sacrt-
flee. She must don long skirts to
hide her fatted calf and also to cover
up evidence of speeding. Otherwise
ii will be a register of so many miles
to the "gal" on whom 1t appears.

PROTECTS STOCK BOOK.
Justice Denies inspection Right to
Appellant.

The District Court of Appeals. in an
opinion by Justice Robb, today affirmed
the action of the District Supreme
Court in refusing a mandamus sought
by Eugene Morgan against Albert w.
Howard, secretary of the Firemen's In-
surance ompany, for an inspection Of
the compariy's stock book.
The court found that Morgan, while
a stockholder, sought the inspection
for an "ulterior purpose, to harass and
perhaps destroy the corporation.
Justice Robb remarked that the
courts win not lend aid in such a sit
uation. The writ Is used to compel
the performance Of an actual duty
rather than to direct the performance
Of an act which will work public or
private mischief. the court suggests.

PARIS, November 5.-Even If
France continues to decline to allow
experts to discuss the total German
debt, the French government considers
the proposed committee of experts un-
der the supervision Of the reparations
commission could render valuable
services to the problem of reparations
by working along lines somewhat as
follows:
I. Study the methods whereby Ger
many has provoked bankruptcy and
whereby German capital has been en-
abled, despite German laws, to make
a successful light across the frontiers.
Estimate the amount of capital which
thus has been exported and consider
appropriate means for bringing about
its repatriation.
g. Study the Germans total assets
and probable Industrial future and
suggest how these assets might be
utilized to make reparations pay
ments.
3. Study technical means of Ger
man economic reconstruction and
monetary reform.
4. Study possible institution of the
allies, financial control of Germany.
5. Consider the possibility of for
eign credits for Germany.
Want French Experts.
French opinion considers that the
delegates should be trained experts
and not politicians. Their findings of
fact should be transmitted to the
reparations commission which would
make therefrom the necessary con-
clusfons regarding conditions of the
moratorium which every one agrees
must be accorded Germany and re-
garding what Germany must pay in
the not distant future.
French opinion hopes and believes
that Premier Poincare, in the verbal
note transmitted to Secretary Hughes
today. has held firmly to the principle
already repeatedly enunciated-name-
~. no discussion in the conference of
the total German debt unless there
is also a discussion Of the allied war
debts.
Want Debt Discussed.
France is entirely willing to par
ticipate in a conference in which both
or these problems would'be discussed,
1or france. like Great Britain. Italy
and Belgium, considers them mex
tricably interrelated
Just as the United States, in urging
the right of experts .to discuss the
total German debt, points out that the
purely advisory and would not bind
the French government in any re-
spect, SO the French point out, con-
clusions of the conference respecting
war debts would also be purely ad-
yisory and would not bind the United
states government or the Senate,
which would be free thereafter to ac-
cept or reject them as it pleased
To the American argument that
Congress. by the funding law, has

glo- American debt settlement was

law. Agreement was first assured be-
tween the British and the American
delegates, and then the American gov
ernment asked Congress to accent
this agreement by special legislation.
