BEADED AND UNVEILED .FROCKS ARE SELECTED
Oriental Designs To Be Seen At
 Royal FunctiOn

LONDON. May 2.-Elaborately beaded and jeweled frocks have been selected by most of the men and women who are to share in the courts of King George and Queen Mary this week. Some of the bead embroidery is shaded in patterns suggesting floral devices and oriental designs.
 One of the gowns, of pewter gret georgette, is embroidered in shaded we'll and black beads and has great sash bow of black tulle along side and a long oxidized silver train.
 An apricot crepe beate is strung with chains of crystals showing touches of gold, looped in front of the skirt with a patterning of larger stones, giving an Egyptian effect, and the train is of chiffon velvet in the same color. Other gowns show Byzan- tine designs in color stones repeated on the train. Though there are trains and gowns of great splendor, the train embroideries are not over weighted, as the short length is against great elaboration.
 So far the chief colors are yellow embroidered in gold, almond green embroidered in silver. peach and apri- cot tints embroidered in opalescept beads and cyclamen embroidered in silver
 Debutantes are choosing white or ivory for their gowns and little ad- vantage is likely to be taken of the permission to wear a color. Embrold- cred chiffon, jersey georgette, crepe marocain and georgette are faVor1te fabrics for gowns for the younger set. There are no "metal materials in young girls dresses except in the train, for which there are some silver tissues.

GREEDY MERCHANTS
 PLANNING CLEANUP
Washington Dealers Getting Ready
 To GOuge ShrinerS

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Greedy local merchants are causing trouble for the committee in charge of ar engagements for the Shrine convention meeting here June 4. The Shriners committee has set out to prevent profiteering at the expense of the visitors, who will number close to half million.
 Dealers who have announced price boosts on meat and ice cream have been censured by the Shrine com mittee, composed largely of local business men. The committee hopes to discourage any general wave of profiteering.
 Local merchants also upset the police arrangements, claiming they interfered with business. Automo- piles had been forbidden to park in the downtown section of the capital beginning Friday. But when the reg ular shopping trade fell off as a re- suit of patrons being unable to drive to the stores, the merchants pro- tested to the police department and the no-parking rule was lifted for another week.
 The Garden of Allah" which has made the White House district re- semble a Coney Island built on King Tut motive, is nearing comple- ton. Mammoth towers built of bent laths are being covered with burlap and painted with Egyptian designs. Autographs of the President wearing Ia red feZ and labeled Noble Warren G. Harding" are appearing in store windows. Stickers reading, Hop in, Noble" are being placed on automo- bile windshields by residents who de- sire to carry the visitors around the city.
 Knights of Columbus will be prominently represented in the big Shrine parade. Daniel Sullivan, su- perintendent of police and pride of the local Knights of Columbus, will head the parade.

l. C. U. |S TARGET. FUR OPENING SHOT.
Valuation Organization To De- mand Original Cost
 Figures As Basis
By RODNEY F. DUCHER tBy Leased Wire To The Age-Hera1d)

CHICAGO, May 27.--Leaders in the national conference on valuation of American railroads, claiming their meeting just ended here full sue cess, will lose little time in begin ming their fight to secure and main tain railroad valuaton figure which will radically reduce freight and pas Senger rates.
 The first step, 1t was learned Sun day, will be a request to the inter state commerce commission for fig ures on the original costs of the rail- road systems, which the progresstVes and others who met here hope to fix as the valuation basis.
 If the interstate commerce com mission refuses to comply with this request an appeal will be taken to the district court of the District of Columbia, seeking an order for these figures. This has precedent in the case of the Kansas City Southern road, which claimed that the com mission would not comply with the law, and secured other figures which it had previously been denied.
 Armed with these cost figures, which it is confident of securing, the organization formed here will pro- ceed toward legislative giving it the end it seeks. This aim, r is learned, probably will also include a proposed am mendment to the transportation act fixing the basis of rates simply on operating expenses and investment. This was urged before the confer ence by Attorney Donald R. Richberg.
 Leaders remaining here Sunday claimed a complete success in the attainment of their announced pro- ject-the formation of an organiza- ion to mobilize public opinion di- rectly on the highly important ques- tion of valuaton, and. to represent the public in practically all of it's railroad issues in the future.

CONSUL SERVICE AT
 NEW ORLEANS HAS
 WAR ALL ITS OWN
King Of Spain Has Birthday And There's Where Rub
 Begins

NEW ORLEANS, May 27.-While diplomats are conferring at Lausanne in an effort to straighten out the Near East tang1e, and the Ruhr IS engaging the attention of most of the world, war has broken out in the consular corps here with most of Europe lined up against Latin Amer ica. Japan and a few others are on the side lines wondering what is go- ing to happen.
 The row developed when the King of Spain had birthday and Major C. Braithwaith Wallis, the British con sul, temporarily usurped the role of dean of the corps, which by time honored custom belongs to Senor Al fredo Olavarri, consul general of Venezuela. Since the death, nearly three years ago, of Lamar G. Quen- terao, Costa Rican consul, the local corps has been struggling along without dean. The aftermath of the World war threw monkey wrench into the machinery, anyway. and 1t mattered little whether there was a dean or not. With New Or leans the second port in the country however, the city boasts of consufs galore and business getting back to normal within the last few months, the consular corps proceeded to do likewise.
 Held Dinner For King.
 King Alfonso had birthday re- gently and the Spanish consul was host at a dinner in honor of the event, to which the consular corps was invited. Major Wallis is report ed to have delivered an address as the representative of the corps and the incident created furore in diplo- matic circles. Some of the consuls declare that while Major Wallis is in New Orleans as representative of the largest country doing business here, the deanship of the corps always has gone to the man of highest rank longest in the port, and that man is Senor Olavarri, with Senor E. To- ledo Lopez of Honduras and Senor E. de la Cass of Panama following in order.
 May Break Precedent.
 It is reported now that movement is on to break precedent and give the honor to Major Wallis, through an election or otherwise, which would result in Senor Olavarri stepping down to the level of other members of the corps. Latin Americans from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn, are backing Senor. Olavarri, while the Japanese representative and few others who care little whether Major Wallis or Senor Olavarri is dean, are enjoying a popularity that is ex- plained only by the fact that if the controversy ever reaches the stage where it is put to vote of the mem- bers of the corps, they will hold the balance of power with their ballots.

LLYOD GORGE SAYS
 EUROPE BACK TOl9l4
Declares Same Elements Exist As Produced Great War

EDlNBUKGH, May 21i-"Eurtpe today holds exactly the sasae ele- ments that produced the gres~. war; Lloyd George declared Sunday in speech here.
 With gloomy forecasts of Europe's future, the ex-premier declared that the suspicion and hate existing among nations filled him with alarm. saying:
 Gan anyone sec what is going to be the end of it all? I simIly see dense fog in which the nations are drifting recklessly.'
 Holding that international organi- zation for peace was useless unless public opinion maintained it, he de- clared that the world, instead of learning a lesson from the war, had not learned even single syllable.
