PARISIAN DECLARES
 FIAPPER ON WAYNE
Bubbcd Hair, Cigarettes, And Slang Said To Be Declining, But
 short Skirt Is Returning.

Paris, Jan. 16.-Bobbed hair and oycr-briGht compleXions hard hats and barbaric iewelry, appear to be on the decline, and cigarettes and slang among the feminine smart set are less aggrcssively indulged in than in past seasons. Such arc the conclusions which a male observer has reached after attending numer- ous recent Partisan social functions.
 ard-boiled manners and a high complexion were found to be all wrong as setting for dresses made of soft kasha, in pastel shades, soft silks and muslins and hats with flowing lines. The trend of the hour is toward subtle charm and softness.
 Color, however, is playing a much greater. part in Paris fashion than at any time previous since the .armis- tice. Black dresses have become less popular and light colors have been steadily on the increase.
 The short skirt has had a new lease of life but is slightly fuller in the back. Sleeves, for evening dress, are also more popular and the bare arm is no longer considered es- scntial for elegance in dress. The bare back Is also less common and very low cut dresses are rarely seen except among the show girls.

SOUTH AFRICA NOW ABOVE GOLD PARITY
Further DeIatiOn Considered Needless, Commissioners Say

{ Pretoria, Union of South Africa, Jan. 16.-The report advocating re- z turn to the gold standard, which was
 made upon the invitation of the gov
 ernment by Professor V. w. Kem- { merer of Princeton university and sDr. G. Vissering, president of the @ Netherlands bank of Amsterdam, points out that South Africa is
 found to have been for some time near a gold parity and is now above
 parity.
 The commissioners conclude that ~further defiation is needless as South { Africa's gold position is very strong, and gold is more stable than man
 ager paper money" Therefore they
 believe it would be a wise and con- servative action on the part of South asAfrica to clinch now with the gold
 parity and definitely return to gold
 standard on July l. This decision
 must be reached immediately, they
 say. and adhered to, whatever hap pens to the pound sterling in the course of the coming six months. ! The commissioners claim the fol- lowing advantages for this course: First, greater stability of purchasing power athome and abroad; second, greater stability Of rates Of interest and a lower level for real interest rates; third, stability of exchange with countries possessing a gold

MOTHER'S SLAYER
 STILL DEFIANT.
Frisco Girl Shows Little Re.
 morse After Murder

san Francisco, Jan. 1G.--Pleasure- loving Dorothy Ellington, 16 year old confessed slayer of her mother, Mrs. Anna Ellingson maintained to- day the smiling mask of indifference that had characterized her attitude since her arrest yesterday charged with murder.
 Emerging from 12 hours of ques- tioning today, the girl still was the life of the party" just as she had been after the murder when she danced at the apartment of a friend while her mother lay in their home, shot dead during flare of anger.
 Men Arrested
 The police today had rounded up three of seventeen young men for whom warrants were issued for contributing to the delinquency of q minor. They included David Stein, in whose apartment Dorothy was said to have attended party few hours after the death of her moth CT; Keith Lord, arrested in Venice, Cal, where he was playing in an orchestra, and Harry Lesser, alias Chenitz, taken into custody here. All are musicians. More arrests were expected today.
 Brother Is Bitter Father and brother confronted the girl in the city prison yesterday, the former sorrowful and pleading, the boy stern and unforgiving. The brother repudiated the advances of his sister when she sought to en- brace him in the cell. With the cry "Don't touch me! You killed our mother" the young man pushed her from him.
 The shooting came as the climax 10 long series of family differences over the girls actions. Her father and mother had quarreled because of the clandestine life their daugh- ter admits she led. The mother de- tended her daughter and the father left home. Went On Party
 After the girl shot her mother to death, according to her confession, she took s45 from purse in the same room and went on a 'wild party" She had rented a room two miles from her home and there af- ter the party, read papers containing the account of her mothers death.
 She was arrested through infor- nation given the 3police by one of her male companions.

monial dinner in Cincinnati given by
the international Brotherhood OF

length on the aims and purposes OF
trade unionism, and appealed to work

cause.

81 am thinking of the cause which we
represent, our own great movement
the organization of labor which has
been brought to such a high standard
of perfection as result of years OF
effort and sacrifice on the part Of
members of organized labor"
President Green recounted the
gains made by the Brotherhood o.

was unorganized, with low wages
long hours and miserable working
conditions.

ering about heavier penalties, the SEN
sible thing to do would be to try en-
forcing the law, melting out the penal
ties now provided for it's violation.
The plain truth about the matter
is that the prohibition law, except in
few communities, is not being en-
forced. There is enough public senti-
ment against the law to make it's en-
forcement a farce, with the result
that the law has been brought into
contempt.
If the law had real public backing,
il would be enforced. AS long as it
does not represent public sentiment
providing of heavier penalties will not
enforce. The house subcommittee Is
wasting its time in urging more dras

Almost a year ago the governors
of several states, and the federal gov

selves in the ankle and act as if they

rocketing price that gasoline and
sugar took. Each and every official
averred that somebody was going to
lose gold tooth. Now it appears
that there will be an attempt made
to have congress award a special
