The geratest criminal drive in
the history of the Government is
planned by the Coolidge Admins
tration through a practical mer-
ger of all Federal law enforcing
agencies, it was learned today.
Every crime detecting branch
of the Government would be called
into the drive and their combined
ranks thrown against rum-run-
ners, dope peddlers and alien
smugglers, if a program drafted
at the Treasury Department is
adopted.
Conference on Action.
To perfect this gigantic Federal
crusade against crime Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Andrews,
decorated by the Government for
his organizing genius. has called a
conference for tomorrow
Representatives of the State, La

The program is understood to
have the sanction of Attorney Gen

officials, who have agreed that
emergency measures must be taken
TO smash the smuggling evil.

down to relatively small waist, marks
woman of good-natured disposition
one who can be trusted. But, of course,
there may be any number of tiny imper-
fections in such back, which would lead
an expert to just the opposite conclusion.
The pinched, stringy back, on the other
hand, is likely to suggest an INSCRIPTIONS
and miserly person, but again other fea-
lures may compensate for such natural
shortcomings and mark a most trustwor-
thy and generous individual.
Sloping shoulders, curiously enough,
seem usually to accompany a nature that
is considerable of others, but not very sue
cessful in financial affairs.
Thus to the practised eye of the expert,
when a woman appears in low-cut eve
ming gown, displaying the curves and dim
Piles of her back, she unconsciously reveals
all sorts of secrets Possibly if the mean
ing to be read in backs becomes widely
known the style of evening gowns may be
changed.
Oddly enough, there is one secret about
which the back is strangely deceitful.
That is its owners age.
"a woman's back shows her age less
than any other part of her body" says
Miss Drain. Her hair may turn gray,
crows feet may creep into her face, her
chin may droop in successive folds and her
hands may become gnarled, but her back,
while revealing nearly everything else, is
apt to conceal her age.
1T may present a smooth, dimpled sur
face that might belong either to woman

have known elderly women on whose fea-
lures the years have indelibly stamped
their mark, but their backs were full, well
shaped, firm and of texture that would
be credit TO a debutante."
A year or so ago the National League
for the Prevention Of Spinal Curvature
held a contest in the United States and
Canada to find the most perfect back
After some 10000 men and women
chiefly wOmen-had been examined, the
prize Of $1,000 was given to Virginia
Pearson, stage and screen star, whose pho
tograph appears on this page. The award
did not come as great surprise, because
Miss Pearson has long been famous for
the beauty of her back. But it was GER
taInly big surprise when the decision of
the judges showed that her nearest com
petltor was an old woman seventy years
of age. This old lady made no preten-
tons Of being a beauty, but she was proud
Of her back, and always had been. As
a matter Of fact, it was only by the mar
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-20

rowest of margins that the beautiful
Miss Pearson won out.
And although the judges gave her
the prize, they frankly said that her
back was by no means perfect. Which
is no disparagement to Miss Pearson's
charm, since the perfect back simply
does not exist. The contest revealed
that every one of us is more or less
lopsided. We are certain to sag some
where, our hips are pretty sure to be
out of perfect alignment, even the
most soldierly and erect person is
very apt to have some slight twist
in his backbone. It is those inper-
fections which make the back the be-
trayer of our secrets that it is. No
two backs are alike. They differ as
widely as our palms and finger-prints.
And, according to Miss Drain, they
tell infinitely more about us.
If there were perfect back a spirit
level placed on the shoulders would show
that the shoulder tips were exactly even.
A plumb-line hung from the base of the
skull down the spine would show that the
spine is perfectly straight and that the
body was perfectly symmetrical. If the
line were dropped from the ear in pro-
file it would touch the foot at a certain
point near the ankle bone, which would
indicate that the body was perfectly
poised. While such back, if it did exist,
would not necessarily mean that its owner
was superior being, still it is true that
beauty of back and beauty of character
more often than not have been found to
90 together.
Every often" Miss Drain points out. "a
woman DESTROYS of hiding her emotions
will turn her back. ! doubt if she would
do that if she knew how completely her
back told exactly what she was thinking
about-that is, for the one who under
stands.
However, there is really nothing so
very new regarding the back as an en-
phatic medium of expression. On the
stage a good actor or actress knows that
some of the most effective moments in
a play are conveyed to the audience by
the expression of the back And on the
screen it is even more effective, and more
generally resorted to-"
Probably it was ALA Nazimova who
first shattered the old tradition that an
actress must never turn her back on an
audience. Many seasons ago, when she
first came TO this country she startled
and dumfounded the critics by PLAYING
her most intense scenes while looking d.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-09-20

ample for our tastes. She could never
compete for favor with, say, Lillian Gish
or Irene Castle, both of whom would
probably have been considered much too
thin by the sculptors and other beauty
experts of the good old days.
"Today it is the slender back" says
Miss Drain, Gust plump enough to be ex-
pressive and graceful, that is regarded as
ideal. And, for very peculiar reason,
believe that the motion picture is re-
sponsible for this.
at happens that the motion picture
camera is inclined to exaggerate fat.
This, of course, is an optical illusion. But
no matter how we'll the pictures are taken,
there is always a slight blurring of the
outlines, and this seems to add a suggese
ton of plumpness, even to a very thin

rectly at the backdrop. To every ones
amazement, her beautiful, 1.-THE and
sinuOus back revealed to the audience
the emotion she wanted to express
much more forcibly than any words
could have done. Since then playing
emotional scenes with the back to the
footlights has itself become tradi-
that is, if anything, overworked. If
the leading man in a smart, society
problem did not present his heaving
shoulders to the audience at least once
it would be as startling as a stage de-
tective without his derby hat. And, ac-
cording to Miss Drain, there is sound
psychological reason for this, since the
back is only surpassed as a medium of
expression by the face itself.
Styles in women's backs change Just as
styles of hairdress change. In the old
days-the time of the Greek masters
the perfect woman was Of gorgeous curves
and contours. She was large and statu-
esque and her back was in proportion.
That is changed now. The Venus de Milo
herself, if she should miraculously come
to life, would probably be urged by her
friends to diet. She would be much too
