SPRING MODELS
NOT FORFAT
WOMAN
Paris Fashions, With Straight
line SiIhouettes, Do Not
Provide for PIumpness.
BY, ALICE LANGELIER,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

PARIS. Feb. 14.-Each Of the
smart spring fashion openings now
going on in the French capital fills
madame's heart with curiosity as
to what the new silhouette will be.
It is not 30 easy to know as every
large dressmaker today seems ia
have his own little style.
One thing is certain, the fat lady
may as well go into hiding this
year, for there is no place for her
In the spring models. One must
be straight in the back, and even
straighter in the front, where all
the fullness and trimmings are to
be found. Everything to the FORE"
seems to be the slogan of designers.
Apron tunics, tucks, tassels and
pleats, in fact all the little acces-
sories are in the front.
Skirts Are Shorter.
Skirts are decidedly shorter, In
fact, very much shorter at many
of the houses. Evening coats are

Thus far, there has been no indi-
cation of the market Indigestion
which called such a sudden halt to
the output Of new securities at
this time last year. Investment
bankers report that the income
yield and general attractiVeness of
new issues, rather than the volume
Of bonds offered, constitute the
principal gauge of their success in
the competitive market. This Is
due in part to the small amount of
refunding necessary this year as
compared with the last few years.

Loeb's Final Breakdown
 Explained By Officers

CHICAGO. June 1.-(By Associated Press )-Officers today told how Rich ard Loeb broke down and confessed the kidnapping and staying of Franks. who was his second cousin, after hay ing displayed perfect coolness for many hours. His confession was great surprises even to investigators. for they had not connected him with the crime except for a letter written by Leopold which had hinted at a sinister connec- tion between the two.
 After several hours of lonely i'm prisonment at 3 police station near his home, Loeb was taken to a large bare room in the criminal court buikl- ing for questioning. The room was darkened except for the erie glow of arc lights which stole through the un- curtained windows. Loeb was left alone in this ghastly glow for some time.
 Watched Expression
 Police Sergeant John Murphy, who has had considerable experience in ex- amining suspected culprits. said that after intermittent questioning and so- licitude for the prisoner, a curious, haunted expression occasionally came into the youths eyes.
 According to Sergeant Murphy, it is probable that the flickering shadows cast on the blank wall of the large room by the blue glow of street lights conjured before the strained brain of

Bishop Returns Home To "Get Ready
 For October

CLEVELAND, June 1.-William Montgomery Brown. retired bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church of Arkansas, found guilty of teaching doc trines not held by the church. returned to his home in Gallon today ito get ready for this business when it comes up again in October"
 Il still love my brethern," Bishop Brown said. "They are not to blame for what they believe. 1 might have done the same as they some years ago l am happy because I wasn't railroad ed through as fast as I am led to be- lieve the schedule called for" Bishop Brown referred to Trinity Cathedral, where he attended services today and where his trial was held, as "a place for ceremony, beautiful poetry and drama"
 That's what these great services are to me-inspiring, symbolic dramas" he said. "The church of the future should have them occasionally, for the sake of their inspiration. But my ideal would be to have all sects and creeds done away with and all people meet ing in your vast halls and public build ings to hear of the great and good things that leaders among men have done.
 Let people know about science and all kinds of learning. To my notion, ignorance is the devil of the world and knowledge its saviour.N

the church to touch him. At last in self-respect she could do no less than take up the thing which was becoming a public scandal and dispose of it in decent fashion which now she has done.
 Former Birmingham Man
 Tt is of interest to us in Birming- ham to know that the head of the trial court was none other than your former beloved rector, John G. Murray, bishop of Maryland. If anything were needed to make us know that justice was done, this would answer.
 However, we need not be unduly disturbed over these nipples in the long life of the church. Occasionally in choosing priests and bishops we choose unwisely. The church is very patient with mems. shortcomings, but here and there one has to go.
 "The marvel is that on the whole, men serve so faithfully for every one who proves unworthy there are ninety and nine doing the Masters work. This is so of priests and people. In these lie the hope and the surety of the life of the church in the world"

SUPER-RADIO GOAL
 OF ANTENNA FANS

Copyright. 1924. in United States and Canada. by North American Newspaper Alliance).
 Pursuant to increasing public dis cussiOn of "super-radiO," involving a national integration and systematizing of radio broadcasting, there is grow ing interest in the suggestion for an interstate radio commission, with sweeping powers, to regulate and super wise bToadcasting.
 It is urged by persons advocating such a commission that radio has sud denly become a great industry and that there is an imperative need for na- tionally centralized regulation and con trol. According to figures compiled by Guy E. Tipp, chairman of the board of directors of the Westinghouse com pany, there are now about 5000 manu- lecturers of radio equipment in the United States. These concerns give employment to more than 250,000 per sons, either ill the manufacture or sale of apparatus More than 250 books have been written on radio, and more than 30 radio magazines are published in America. It is estimated that ap- proximately $15O,00O.OO0 was spent by the people of the United States for radio equipment last year, and that $3,000000 will be spent next year, There are now nearly 10,000,O00 per sons in America using radio. Ii has been predicted that in the very near future, radio will be a half-billion dol lar industry, serving 5O,0O0,000 per sons.
 Plans for super-radio provide for six or eight stations, connected by radio or by wire, arranged for occasional ma. tional broadcasting. This, it is urged would greatly cut down the waste of duplicate broadcasting. The possibility of relaying programs over long dis. tances would be greatly enhanced by recent success in wire distribution ol radio by the pioneers of wired wire less" Radio programs are now being successfully distributed over electric light systems, the user being supplied with a small apparatus by which he draws a program from socket as he draws light or energy. These pro grams can be sent across the continent by wire

 Seen In Poincare's Fall

to pay the reasonable demands that could and should have been made upon her.
 Would Have Results
 It is equally certain that if his foreign policy was calculated to produce the effects he claimed for it the French to recognize these results, and would not have repudiated him.
 M. Poincare certainly fought the election on his foreign policy-the pol icy of the Ruhr occupation, of force, and of separatism, which he claimed to be the only policy whereby reparations could be obtained, and as a consequence the internal affairs of France could be placed in order. That policy has been tested, its results have been seen to be disastrous, and its author has been thrown from power.
 This is the meaning of the French elections. A new chapter has been opened and Mir. MacDonald's skill and patience in dealing with France will now, we may hope, reap an even rich CT reward.
 There is good ground for hoping that matters will presently move swiftly to a conclusion. The reports of the ex- pert committees offer way out, and the British government is now in a po- sition to develop the settlement em- bodied in those reports with a greater prospect of immediate success.
 Contains Solution
 The Dawes report contains a final solution of the reparations problem. <
 It is not a perfect plan. It can be criticized, but it nevertheless holds the field as the only practicable plan that has been devised. 1t lays down as an indispensable condition the restoration and complete economic ands fiscal sovereignty for Germany over it's ter ritories, and provides a basis for com- mon action with which the United States will be associated again with the European powers in an effort to re- establish conditions of stability and peace.
 That is the objective of the policy which MT. Macdonald has been pursu- ing since he took up the double burden of prime minister and foreign secre- tary.
 It is policy which, in our belief, has materially contributed to the success of the left parties in France, and one of the happiest aspects of the new situa- ton is that the elections there have brought back into the French chamber a strong socialist group which will be able to influence the situation.
 The socialist group know MT. Mac Donald, understand his aims, and have confidence in his goodwill They will be invaluable allies in the effort now to be made to bring labor's peace policy to fruition.

the precocious lad, a spectre of the boy with whom he used to play tennis.
 Anyway. after several hours of medi- ation in this flickeringly lighted cham Der, Loeb asked for glass of water. That was a sign of weakening, ac- cording to Sergeant Murphy, who said that persons about to confess always call for water. Time and again water was taken to Loeb and he ceased his bravadO and laughter. Instead of par rying questions in an easy manner, he began to evade the inquiries.

 Then came the information to the in- quisitors that Leopold's chauffeur had proved the previous assertions incorrect, ill that Leopold's car was in the garage all day and night when Franks was kidnapped. Loeb started from his chair, the blood fled from his cheeks and his hands shook. He recovered his poise, however, in a few minutes and con tinued his silence. Finally as days gray light began to supplant the blue flares of the street lights, Loeb cried out:
 "Oh, I'll tell all .'
 "Send for a stenographer," said the states attorney and not long afterward it was announced that Loebs confes- sion had been made. This was followed soon afterward with the statement by Leopold.

FRENCH LEADER
 ASKED TO RESIGN
Continued from Page One )

congress unanimously adopted a resolu- tion to the effect that the party firstly would refuse to support any govern ment which accepted power from Mil lerand's hands, and secondly would fight any government the premier of which was not chosen from the lefts.
 Socialists Join
 Next the radical socialists and the republican socialists almost simulta- neously passed resolutions against Mil lerand.
 It then seemed that .AIillerand's po- sition was almost impossible, but it was recalled that the president declared two days ago that he would not resign until busted by a vote of both the sen ate and the chamber.
 Solid left wing opposition to Mil lerand came in final congress of the bloc of the left" including all left wing parties, which passed resolution with the same text as that adopted by the radical socialists.
 This resolution said:
 Considering that President Mile rand has followed q personal policy which is contrary to the spirit of the constitution, and also took openly a position favoring the national bloc, whose policy is condemned by the coun- try, we believe that keeping NJ. Mile rand at the Elysee palace (namely in the presidential residence) would hurt the republican conscience, and would be the government and the president of the a source of permanent conflicts between republic and a permanent danger for the regime itself"
 Receives Ovation The congress received Paul Painleve with noisy ovation and proclaimed him candidate for the post of presi- dent of the chamber. Herriot embraced him as he was nominated for the honor Professor Pinard, oldest member of the chamber, presided at the first ses- sion. ill accordance with parliamentary tradition here. His address was pune tuated by shouts of you'll get out you friend of Millerand
 As Pinard finished speaking, social ists and communists joined in crying, Tive L'Internationale!"

the automobile and said he and Loeb had cleaned the tonneau with sponge.
 Start Argument
 When asked to get into the auto mobile an argument arose between Leopold and Loeb as to which was to take the drivers seat, each declaring he had driven the car when Franks was kidnapped
 Not with him." Loeb explained. "He claims I hit Franks over the head and stuffed rag in his mouth. l was driving and he did it, but he says he was driving and says I did it.'
 Leoapold finally got into the drivers seat andNwas photographed. After din ner>they Mere taken back to the states attorneys office for further examina- tion.
 Ask Test Question
 Two alienists asked the youths a question which they said if answered might have had an important bearing on the determination of their mental condition. The question was:
 Did you at any time after you planned the crime have the desire to back out Both refused to an- swr. An affirmative answer would in dicate that they were competent to de- eide between right and wrong.
 These boys have not yet realized the full enormity of their offense," one alienist said. They have not experi- enced the full reaction. When it comes it will be spectacular and probably more complete than if they had broken at once."
 Allowed To Telephone
 Both boys were allowed to telephone to their homes tonight. Loeb insisted to his mother that he had committed the murder, doing his utmost to con- vince her that he could do and did do such a deed. His parents have consist ently refused to believe him guilty of the crime since his detention.
 Leopold assumed businesslike con- versation. His father is ill. His mother dead.
 ''Send me change of clothes, and isn't it about time you employed an attorney for me-" he was reported as saying. Yes, I did it; we've got to face it and make the best of it.
