Sign Painting Jobs
 Lack Enough Men

Boston. Aug. 2s.-The world may be overcrowded with doctors and lawyers, but there is plenty of room for the fellows who can put the let ters advertising their profession on the plate glass windows. Sign paint ing isn't a crowded profession by any means according to c H. Buck of Boston, known throughout the country as the dean of that profes- sion.
 More than 100 of the sign painters attending the sixth international convention of the Associated Sign Crafts of North America which open ed yesterday in Scenic Temple, were taught their trade by the veteran, who has been Ion his own" in the business for AS years. Men from all over the country are attending the convention and more than 1000 are expected to register before closing time on Saturday.
 Only 1500 sign painters are listed In the international organization, so there is plenty of room for more. Mir. Buck told a reporter. The pay is good, too, s1o a day for a begin ner and more later.

 Wave Sweeping Over City.

Shanghai, Aug. 2s.-As an out
 growth of an epidemic of lawless- ness that in recent weeks took the form of almost daily armed ron- berries in dwellings and on the streets, the police of Shanshais international settlement again are vigorously advocating fiogging as punishment for offenders.
 As a rule armed robbers. con- yicted in Shanghai's mixed court are sentenced to death and are shot after being turned over to the Chi neses authorities. The foreign police contend that Chinese criminals fear this punishment less than they do corporal punishment, which they as- sert will deter many criminally in- clined from being caught with wea- pons in their possessions.
 The Chinese press in Shanghai generally voices opposition to, any return to the use of the bamboo.

Geneva, Aug. 2S.-Prince Tafari-
 Mekonnen, heir to the throne or
 Abyssinia, who is expected like Pre-
 miers Macdonald, Herriot and Mus solini, to attend the September ses-
 sion of the league of nations, has
 forwarded to Geneva copy of a
 new Abysinnian code concerning the traffic in and possession of arms and ammunition. Some idea of the ecrupulous manner in which the North African state intends to meet : its league obligations Is had from the tenor of the princely communl- cation to Sir Eric Drummond, the secretary general of the league.
 "Peace be with you" the note be- gins, and then proceeds "Desirous of observing faithfully the engage nnents which it entered into on be- coming a member of the league of nations, my government has no" 5ssued new and more explicit regu- lstions regarding arms and ammuni- lions. Experience will show wheth- CT the provisions in these regula- tions are adequate; if they are not 1t is our intention to amend them when necessary"
 : The new law consists of an edict and detailed regulations and they forbid all persons to enter or leave Abyssinia if in possession Of wea- pons of war, or to import or export weapons, unless they have previous fy obtained authorization. Similar ly the sale of weapons Is prohibited without specific authority, and pen alties are provided.

A PROMPT CLEANUP IS
IN ORDER

The stencil surrounding the
Sinclair oil interest has become
too great for Archie Roosevelt.
That removed any possibility of
suspicion-if any existed-that
the sensation is bit of particu-
larry villainous political trickery
designed to discredit the Repub-
lican party. Certainly the sons
of Theodore Roosevelt are not
engaged in any conspiracy
against the G. o. P.
Therefore the president is
faced with the unpleasant neces-
sity of undertaking a political
housekeeping, beginning with
his own political household. 1t is
decidedly embarrassing for Mr..
Coolidge. The revelations could
hardly have come at a worse
time, in the beginning Of a cam
paign year. Still, political con-
siderations cannot enter into the
plans of a President Of the
United States confronted with
Roanoke Rapids herald., 1924-01-25

such a situation; and indeed the
best politics, the only possible
politics, for a President, viii be
to do thorough job of disinfec-
ton. The fact that Fail is no
longer member Of the cabinet
does not release Mr.. Coolidge
from responsibility. Fail was
not the only man attacked in
Senator Caraway's sensational
speech, which the testimony of
the Messrs. Roosevelt has done
much to confirm. Caraway not
only charged that the national
security had been sold for money
by member of the cabinet who
had subsequently LETT the cab
inet-he also charged that the
guilty man would never be pro
secuted vigorously as long as
the present attorney general OF
the United States remains at the
head of the department Of
justice.
This is charge that carries
over into the record of the pre-
sent administration. The respon-
sibility for Fall may have been
Harding's responsibility, but
the responsibility for Dougherty
is Coolidge's. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that if President Coolidge
had appointed Fall his admin
istration could survive the shock
of the recent revelations. He id
not appoint Fall, however, and
there is a chance that he may
not be held responsible by the
public for what Fall did, but
only on one condition, namely,
that this affair be vigorously in
vestigated by the department of
justice with a view to criminal
prosecutions, and if any con
siderable part of the evidence
already made public be found tc
be true that criminal proceed
ings be instituted and pushed
with the utmost vigor.
Indeed to the layman it seems
chat indictments for perjury
might be sought against several
of the persons involved already.
If such indictments are not
sought, or if there is the slight
est cause for suspicion that the
department of justice is not
prosecuting the cases with all
the vigor it possesses, then the
memory of Caraway's charges
against Daugherty will recur to
the people with redoubled force,
and the administration will labor
under a handicap that it cannot
hope to carry successfully
Through the election next fall.
Is Harry M. Daugherty in po-
sition to carry on the sort of
probe that alone can save the ad-
ministration from the conse-
quences of Mr.. Harding's error
in appointing Fall? 1t is doubt
full. Daugherty is himself under
fire. He has succeeded in sup
pressing, but he never has dis
PEELED, the suspicious attached
to his own record in the Morse
case. Will the public be satisfied
with investigation of the case
OF a man charged with abusing
the confidence Of President
charged with abusing the con-
Harding, conducted by man
fidence Of President Taft?
Mr.. Coolidge apparently is in
a position where only bold and
resolute action can save him.
He must clean up his own premi-
ses, and do it with such Obvious
thoroughness that no doubt will
exist as to the removal of all

THE efforts of designers, in all man
ner OF costumes, at present, seems
to be to achieve the greatest degree of
simplicity and still advance novelties
In trimming and materials. The early
tendency toward INTRICATE lines and
drepes has apparently been put aside
In favor of the straight silhouette,
the very long skirt giving way to
ankle lengths or even shorter styles.
Naturally, with these restrictions, the
novelty of each costume must depend
on its material, Its color or its trim
ming, but there is such variety in
these that the designers do not lack
means to work with and new fashions
do not suffer because Of thei uni
formity in outline.

NEW CAMPAIGN
ION HEADLIGHTS
|STARTS TODAY
by United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, July S.-State
highway traffic Officers operating Q
under the direction of the division
of motor vehicles are in readiness
for another campaign against viola
tors of headlight provisions of the
law which will start simultaneously
III all sections of California today.
Division officials hope by this
new campaign to rid the highways
of the menace of glaring lights and
the war on such violators will be
-intensively through all of July and
for such time thereafter as is ne
cessary to reduce this hazard to
life to Il minimum.
Chief Will II. Marsh estimated to
day that 70 per cent of all automo-
bite accidents occurring ut night are
due to glaring lights.
The division will have some $50

Too Much Lavish
Entertaining Is
Cause Downfall
by Press staff Correspondent

Los ANGELES, July s.-Lavish
entertainment of motion picture
people is blamed for the financial
predicament of Mrs. Mayme w.
Thorne, former wife of two million
aires, who recently filed Il voluntary
petition in bankruptcy here.
Mrs. Thorne once maintained
sumptuous quarters in Beverly Hills,
where the house continually was
filled with men and women of the
moving picture profession. Mrs.
Thorne moved to an apartment and
again took the name of Waiting, her
seconds husband S. But still she
was pursued by guests, and the bank
ruptcy papers resulted.
Mrs. Thorne lists her liabilities as
'$2S,26S, and can find only $4,000 us
assets.
The society matron launched her
social ship three months ago and
kept "open house" for a number
of film luminaries who, it is said,
cultivated habit of dropping in at
odd hours of the day and night.
