PARTISAN DRESSMAKER
BEATS DRAMATIC CRITIC
Assumes Role of Ancient DANDY,
But Fights Like Mod
ern Pug

By Cable to The Star and New York World
PARIS, December 6.-M LIE Bret. a
Paris dramatic critic, brought trouble
on himself when, in the course of the
review of a new play, her referred to
one of the actors as assuming the
ridiculous manners and stupid ped
antry of Melnin Simonette" He thus
thinly disguised the name of Melnotte
Simonin, well known Rue de la Paix
dressmaker. Simonin makes a point
of attending each new play dressed
in a peculiar fashion invented by
himself, under the inspiration ap-
parently of ideas prevailing in the
time of Louis Philippe. His most dis
tinctive garment is a flowing gray
cape with a purple or other bright
colored silk lining, accentuated by a
gray silk hat of the old-fashione ed
chimney pot type. He wears gleam-
ing white spats and affects a gait
reminiscent of the dandies of bygone
age. After reading LIE Bret's article
Melnotte Simonin went to the critic 9
office and with the vigor of a modern
sportsman beat up the critic so Wig
orously that LIE Bret had to stay in
bed for several days. The case was
brought to court today, LIE Bret
charging assault and Simonin charg-
ing slander The verdict was de-
ferred for a fortnight.

DEBATE RHINE PACT
FOR THREE NATIONS
Herriot and Chamberlain at
Paris Pave Way for Franco
British Alliance.

BY Gable to The Star and New York World.
PARIS. December "a three-power
pact keeping peace on the Rhine was
one of the principal points of dis
cussion between Premier Herriot and
Foreign Minister Chamberlain of
England yesterday. 1t is understood
Chamberlain agreed to a defensive al
lance between France, Great Britain
and Belgium
He and Herriot also discussed the
Geneva protocol and Chamberlain
said England was not yet prepared to
take position respecting It, but if
it was ratified eventually in any
form, Great Britain would be willing
to have the pact in the form of a
regional defensive alliance under the
protocol, but in any event a Franco
British alliance is foreseen as part of
the new conservative program.
Surveillance of Germany.
Chamberlain agreed not to evacu-
ate Cologne on January 10, but to
continue until the French and Bel
gian soldiers leave the Ruhr. He
also agreed to have a Frenchman as
chairman of the League of Nations
disarmament commission, which will
continue the surveillance of Germany
as soon as the interallied commits
!.
The agreement to renew the
entente on the basis of the treaty of
1904. Is cabled yesterday, was con-
firmed today. Herriot agreed to give
the British a free hand in Egypt and
Chamberlain agreed to the right of
France to occupy all of Morocco
evacuated by the Spaniards and to
the suppression of the Rifffan move
ment
They also agreed to maintain Brit
ish and French embassies in Con-
stantinople and not to accede to the
Turkish requests to move, to Angora.
This decision is regarded as quite i'm
portant in the Near East, as it is a
way of saying that Constantinople is
an international European city and
that the Turkish capital at Angora is
the seat of Asiatic power.
1t is understood that Chamberlain
asked Herriot not to send Franklin
Bouillon as ambassador to Constan-
tinople, but Herriot replied that the
post was already promised to the
chairman of the Chambers committee
on foreign affairs and that it would
be difficult to rescind it now. Cham
berlain did not insist upon the point,
but told the French premier that the
British objection to NJ Eouillon dated
from the Angora agreement. The two
officials also agreed to maintain close
police cooperation in dealing with
communist propaganda, either in Af-
rica or Europe.

BRITISH EXPORTS
TO BALTIC HEAVY
States Bordering Russia Buy
Almost as Much as For
mer Empire.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
LIBAU, Latvia, November Icing
land today is doing almost as much
business with the states bordering on
Russia as was carried on with the
Russian empire before the war, ac-
cording to L. W. Lyde. professor of
geography in London University, and
his assertions have aroused ccnsid-
erable interest in the new Baltic
states. Latvia alone bought more
British goods last year than Soviet
Russia, and Finland bought two and
half times as much from England
as the Moscow government.
Prof. Lyde maintains that very few
of the English goods which center
the new Baltic states are trans
shipped into Soviet Russia. Last
year Soviet Russia took English
goods valued at about s12,500, 600.
The Baltic states bought British
products valued at s46,250,0OO.
Real Muscovite Russia is too primi-
tive and limited in its buying power
to consume large quantities of west
ern manufactured goods, according
to the English professor, who points
out that much of the most productive
territory of the old Russian empire
is now outside the Soviet territory
and that the agricultural area of
European Soviet Russia Is overpopu-
lated.
Prof. Lyde says the loss of 25,OO0,-
600 to 100000 persons and of
250,000 to 5000 square miles of ter
ritory as result of the war has not
bettered Soviet Russia's overpopuIa-
ton situation, as there is much rich
land in the lost domain.
AS Russia's total wheat and rye
crops are not now sufficient to sup
ply her own population with a daily
bread ration of l pound a person,
Prof. Lyme says, 1t is erroneous to
regard her as exercising any consid-
cradle influence on the world price of
breadstuffs. Before the Franco-Prus-
sian war brought America into the
European wheat market Prof Lyde
says, Russia exercised a sort of mo-
nopoly, but now, he says, Russia is
a mere slave to American grasslands,
with which she cannot compete in
quantity or quality, or even in price,
and she exercises no influence what
ever on the world food prices"

DR.. Cook, IL, Jail,
Does Embroidery
To Occupy Time
Finds Great Pleasure in
Combining C0lors-Is
Appealing Sentence.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

FORT WORTH, Tex, December G..
Explorer of the Arctic and self
acclaimed exploiter of oil fields, a
man who has led colorful life, DR..
Frederick A. Cook has turned to do
ing fancy work, using colors of every
hue. His tastes run to rainbow pro-
ductions. Frequently he uses 10 COL
ors In a pillow cover; often he sits up
until o'clock in the morning, plying
needle and thread, scheming depth
and relief in flowers, and as he brings
them out vividly, he takes an artists
keen delight in his handiwork
The world didn't give DR.. Cook
many flowers, and the few 1t gave
it took back, saying he didn't deserve
them, so he is making his own-Jap-
anese sunfiowers, ferns, roses, lilies,
thistle. There is a touch of psychol-
ogy in the fact that he likes to make
thistles more than any other flower,
for thistles, despite their thorns, bear
flowers. When he finishes a cover he
holds 1t at arms length and gazes at
1t with pride.
The explorer has been in the Tar
rant County Jail one year. following
his sentence in the United States Dis
trict Court to serve IA years when
convicted of using the mails to de-
fraud in promoting 200 oil companies
of varied hue. His case is now on ap-
peal in the United States Circuit
Court.
For the last three months Cook has
been passing most of his time max
ing fancy articles, practically all of
which We're given to his former wife,
who divorced him, but who is stick
ing to him in his troubles. He has
given her a dozen embroidered arti-
cleS and has several more in his cell.
Just look at that Japanese sun
flower" he exclaimed enthusiastically
when a newspaper man visited him.
Note its depth. When you make the
flowers stand out they look more real.
Now here is basket showing a
thistle and fern. See how real those
ferns appear? You would think you
could pick them off the cloth. l am
doing better and better every day
Sometimes 1 employ four needles.
Before l began this fancy work l
knew nothing about colors, but now
l know them and take much interest
in mixing them so as to bring out
the artistic effect"

Women Increasing
In Beauty, Claims
Celebrated Artist
Sir William, Orpen Finds
Girls Today Prettier
Than Crandmas.
Correspondence Of The Star and New Yor
World

Correspondence Of The Star and New York
World.
LONDON, November 29.-Sir William
orpen, who has painted as many Gel
ieprltles as any artist living, is thor
oushly convinced that the women of
the present are better looking than their
grandmothers and great-grandmothers
and that the women of the future will
De even more beautiful. Sir William is
an advocate OF the evolutionary doctrine
OF continuous progress when it comes to
good looks in the human family.
"A year ago when critics were telling
the world how much it had deteriorated
since the century before said Sir
William, 81 voiced the heresy that men
and women were not only better look
Ing and therefore. better minded than
they have ever been before, but that
they were steadily improving Every
day confirms ME in that belief
1t Is my business in life to study
faces. 1t is also my lot in doing my
job to get to know automatically what
Is In the mind that is behind the face,
and do not hesitate to say that there
is no such thing as real beauty of face
without beauty of mind. And there is
lot of both kinds of beauty about
today.
Beauty is more than a regular bone
structure covered with healthy flesh and
skin, and whether a face is fortune
or not Is always a hall mark. A
criminals face proclaims his vice,
whether he likes ii or not as clearly
as an honest mans proclaims his worth
This is no more a coincidence than the
fact that pipe smokers from Mr.. Bald
win downward cannot keep a crease in
their trousers. All faces and all ap-
pearances are shaped through an atti-
tude of mind. AS you think so you
become
when I see, therefore, better look
ing men and women about me-" con-
tinued Sir William, IL know they are
inspired with better thoughts, and that
these will be handed on to and multi
piled In our t-grandchildren.
Woman has not been left behind
in the race. II may seem unfair to
compare an outstanding beauty like
Mrs. Siddons with the modern girl, but
Miss 1924 does not suffer by comparison.
Mrs. Siddons' beauty was famous be-
cause beauty was rarer in her day
can readily think Of dozen now who
would outshine her. | see rivals for
most of the other canvas beauties daily
THE average beauty is rising, and it
is rising because there is going on
steady rise in virtue. / do not use the
word In any priggish sense, but for
want OF better term to describe the
inherent decency of instinct and good
ness of mind which are evident to all
around us.
Exercise has improved our bodies,
but it is the healthy mind that puts men
and women into the sports field"

RUM CASE BR|bES
Prosecutor Says Affidavit
Shows Mayor and Others
Got $500 Each.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N j., December e.
The names of Mayor Charles D
Leech of Weehawken, n. j.. and the
nEe members of the township COM
mlttee appeared in connection with
the conspiracy in which bootlegpers
are said to have paid the Wee
hawken police for protection in land
ing over S50,000,000 worth of LIQUOR
on the Weehawken waterfront.
Hudson County Prosecutor Tobp
Milton gave out a copy of an affidavit
signed october by Charles d. Kirk.
Whlch he said was presented to the
November grand jury Friday before
1t returned indictments against
marry j. Stearns, chairman of the
Meehawken police committee; nine
Weehawken policemen, Capt. Charles
McNamee of the Hudson County
boulevard police, and William Griffin.
Jersey City insurance broker, for
conspiracy to violate the New Jersey
State liquor law.
Tells of Price Paid.
The affidavit recites that Griffin
told Kirk he was paying every man
IN the "Weehawken board of council
Tor protection at the rate of $500 for
the first zoo cases from each boat and
81 a case for all above that number.
The board of council" according to
the prosecutor, is the township com
mittee, which is the governing body
OF the municipality. Kinks affidavit
also involves the Hoboken police.
Two motof cycle policemen, Kirk
swears in his affidavit, escorted
ltquor-laden motor trucks through
Hoboken. A county policeman also
Is accused by Kirk as having acted
as an escort for liquor shipments.
k1rk was the unsuccessful Repub-
lican candidate for the township
committee against Stearns in the last
election, and the affidavit was made
during the campaign.
1t also was announced by Prosecutor
Milton that the trail of his investi-
cation had led across the river to
Manhattan and that it involved
man whom he characterized as the
king of the New York bootleggers."
This man, Mr.. Milton said, was in
partnership with William Griffith of
Jersey City, who, according to an
Anti-Saloon League official, directs
the liquor syndicate in northern New
Jersey.

LONDON TO GET WATTS SHOP
Tools of Engine Inventor Untouch-

, Richmond Times-Dispatch.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch
Negotiations are expected to be
completed shortly whereby the garrett
in Heathville Hall, Handsworth, in
which James Watt conducted the ex-
periments which led to the develop
ment of the steam engine, will be
brought bodily to London to be per-
petuated in the South Kensington>Mu-
scum.
Watt first went to Heathfeld Hall
in 1853. After his death the room in
which he worked was locked and re-
mained unopened for many years, and
his tools and benches, even the
leathern apron in which he worked
and which remains in the same spot
in which he placed it, have remained
undisturbed.

Whippers Rout Hoppers.

The grasshopper pest became so
serious in parts of Arkansas at one
time that negro laborers with whips
were hired to whip out the grass
hoppers in the cotton fields. H. K
Thatcher of the State Agricultural

ishing success, as the hoppers beat a
hasty retreat before the whippers.

In the matter of odd bookmarks
between the pages of a returned vofl-

ribbon by citing a slice of raw bacon
which one of his assistants had sal
vaged from copy of Mr.. Service s

But his claim was instantly given
second place when the chief Of a IA

crab which turned up between the
leaves of a book on engineering.
