WONBYFRANKNESSI LONDON DUCHESS ADDS FIRST GIFT
Told She Could Contribute But Could Not Be a
 PatrOneSS

LONDON, June 23.--(By Associated Press )-The Brighter Britain move ment, which aims to popularlze rural life, Is attracting interested attention here, and one reason is that 1t has turned away frCm the time honored English practice of having women of title on it's lists of patronesses.
 A certain duchess was asked for a. subscription Languidly she an- swered You may put me down for 100 guineas and you may add my name to your list of patronesses.' The efficient young woman solicitor replied that they would gladly take her Euineas. but that there were no patronesses, so that aspect of her contribution must be ignored.
 The duchess, at first amazed by this unexpected frankness. was not slow to see the possibility present ed to become, for a moment, her own press agent. Sc she doubled her contribution, ana said she was glad to belong without being listed as a patroness.
 Women run this movement, peer esses and working women taking part, and it is affiliated with the Ma tional Federation of Women's Insti tutes. Cooperation is the keynote Everybody is supposed to help some body. Snobbishness, the bane of ui al Ille III LlllS OIu ldHui lS tHe one failing for which there Is no for giveness.
 The members meet regularly at their institutes on terms of absolute equality and good fellowship. They teach one another useful handicrafts. especially in the domestic arts, dis cuss the problems of the day, and brighten and stimulate the commun- ial life with folk songs and dances and dramatic performances. They are out to banish fromsthe villages the deadly dullncss winch most pco- pie who have lived in them say ma kes existence intolerable.f
 The movement really started in Canada, which perhaps accounts for the spirit of independence and self help which has animated it.

the world. The company now has, war closed many skilled workmen and engineers were out of Jobs and they could not be employed on the production of steel in the mass. To give them work the Krupps took up the manufacture of precision in struments, cash registers, measuring tools, Diesel and raw oil engines, motor trucks, and excavating and dredging machines. They are now the thousandth or ten thousandth of an inch; they are producing electri- cal devices of various kinds, ana machines for determining the bal ance of rotating masses. They have extended their work as to railroads, and now make steel rails sieepers' and accessories for permanent road way, and also structural steel for bridges and buildings. In fact, they can take contract for an entire railway line, including the track, bridges. buildings, rolling stock and everything that is necessary to ere ate a system of running transpor- tation.
 The Ubiquitous Krupp.
 In addition to the great works here the Krupps have mines in other places. including Spain; they have a big plant at Rheinhausen where they make steer plate anu TOT iS Ing s' and a shipyard at kiel which built many of the battleships. cruisers and torpedoes of the German navy, and turned out most of the submarine fleet. This plant is now engaged in building ship units of all sizes and kinds for the mercantile serv- ice.
 Another great works belonging to the Krupps is at Magdeburg where chilled cast steel and chilled iron castings are made. They were used for the manufacture of small guns during the war but they are now employed in making all sorts of threshing and grinding machinery. These plants can build all the equip ment needed by factories for the making of linoleum. celluloid. rubber and cement, as well as mills that treat sugar cane, coffee and the va rious fibers.
 Indeed, the Krupps of today are pushing their way into every branch of peace industry, and if Germany should ever return to normalcy they will be found to have their fingers in every industrial pie throughout

NEW SCHOOL IN PARIS TEACHES PANT0MIME
Acting Without Aid Of Speech Is
 Being Demonstrated

PARIS, June 23.--(By Associated Press. )-Acting without the aid or speech to interpret each expression is being taught in new course at the French National conservatory. Georges Vague, master of pantomlme, trains pupils In facial gymnastics and posture. His students are given exercises in moving muscles Of the face, and in developing their ability to simulate anger, hate, joy and sor- row just as in the conventional classes they are taught to convey ideas with a combination of facial expression, gesture and tone of voice.
 One of Vague's ideas is the sup pression of undue motion. Instead of waving their arms and comforting their bodies in stress of emotion, his pupils cultivate an ability to express themselves rather with pastures than with gestures.

 This were how happened:

Darkest Africa
 Will Be Without
 Light From Garuey
By HARLAN S. MILLER. Lensed Wire to The Age-IIcrald

NEW YORK, June 23.-Marcus Garvey, the, light that failed to H. luminate darkest Africa, is burning low in the tombs.
 Africa's provisional president" aspirant for the mantle of Hannibal. faces fiveyear delay in his plans to substitute cotton fields for jun gles. A judge of no particular sym pathy with Garveys dream of em- pire. sentenced him Thursday, for Illegal use of the mails In his en- deavor to float, in the financial sense, his great armada, that was to carry this country's millions of col ored people back to their ancestral acres in the tropics.
 This dream has come often to many Napoleonic men of color since Abraham Lincoln loosed the techni- cal bonds that kept the negro from returning to his native shores and hinterland.
 Napoleon Not Enough.
 But Napoleonic qualities were not enough. It was task for a dusky Cecil Rhodes. with enough work left over for a dark complex toned J. Pierpont Morgan. if he could be found. There were other ob- stacles in the path of reversing the roinful odyssey of the slave ships, Safe to live in the cotton fields. unhazardous jobs as porters, roust- abouting in drowsy southern vil- ia ges. had spoiled the black man for the dangers of the chase The rig ours of elephant hunting did not come up to the ivory in it's cubic form.
 Also Wailingford.
 Therefore. when Marcus Garvey discovered in himself the rare qual- ities of Rhodes and Bonaparte and Morgan. he decided to salt it down with little of the organizational prowess of a Wallingford.
 There are enough ignorant blacks in Africa to ~hunt lions and collect rubber juice. uproot the jungles, dance around the fires. play the tom and do all the other menial K P. jobs," he told American ne groes.
 What that little dark continent needs Is more colored gentlemen with brains, to take the positions requiring judgment and responsibil- ity."
 Gentlemen of color hastened to file their applications for the high up places.
 In his trial Garvey was charged with selling his Black Star Line stock after he knew the company was irsolvent. A jury found him guilty of using the mails to defraud, and he faces a sentence of five years in prison and S1.000 fine. for his fine labors on behalf of Africa.

EX-GERMANPRINCE STIRS WRATH OF
 SOCIALIST PARTY
EiteI Creates Number Of New Knights Of Order Of
 St. John

BERLIN, June 23.-Prince Eitel
 Friedrich, the second son of ex-Em-
 peror Wilhelm II of Germany, has re-
 oently created a number of new
 Knights of Honor in the Order of St.
 John, of which he Is supreme com
 mander for Brandenburg province,
 and has thereby created as well the
 usual annual uproar among the so- cialists.
 There are several angles about this yearly action of the prince that the
 German radicals do not like, although they do not express any fundamental objections to the original organiza- ton itself, which dates back to the | sixteenth-c century days of Gregory the Great in Jerusalem.
 In the first place, with the Hohen- I zollerns in the discard, the socialists disapprove of Eitel's action In still issuing high-toned parchment procla-
 nations creating Knights of St.
 with: "We. Wilhelm Eitel Friedrich
 Christian Karl. Prince of Prussia by the Grace of God" etc.
 Secondly. the socialists regard "as
 monarchisttc masqueradtng," the an
 nual ceremony of knighting, with It's flowing robes and plume crested | hats.
 Yet capping the climax In the rad | icals' eyes Is the fact that the new
 knights include not only officers of | the old monarchial army but even | m menbers of republican G.rmany's | new Reichswehr and Security police. vorwaerts. the socialists official | newspaper, declares Eitel has cre- ated at least 233 knights this year, | 36 of whom belong to the new army and navy.
