Organized Labor Gives
 Its Approval to Camp

Plattsburgh, N. Y, Aug. 2l. Ht- Organized labor gave unqualified approval yesterday to the citizens military training camps idea when President William Green and the executive council of the American Federation of Labor visited the Plattsburgh camp.
 T can truthfully say" said MT. Green in a speech on the parade grounds, 'in many quarters there is a wrong impression of the work and training, purposes and objec- lives of the camp. The American Federation of Labor through its or ganizations can do much to acquaint the public mind as to what is being done here to develop young men mentally, morally and spiritually.
 T have been thinking of the thousands of young working men who are working daily i1 the fac tories, shops and mines. have been wondering if they would ap- preciate the great opportunities Of fered if they knew all the facts. It is a wonderful work you are doing here to blend into a great democ- racy all young Americans"

PRESS AGENCIES
 SUGGEST POLICY
Geneva Conference Takes Up
 Broadcasting of News

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 21 P Radio fans should be careful tc pick up only those messages to which they are entitled under regu- lations adopted today by the con- ference of news agencies under the auspices of the League of Nations. The resolutions suggest penalties for "pirating" messages if the news agencies suggestions should be em- bodied in international law.
 Calling attention to the extremely rapid development of wireless tele- graphy and telephony, the resolu- tions say that legislation concerning the copyright of news transmitted by wireless has not kept pace in all countries. thus leading to confusion of the organization of wireless. The resolutions declare that the orderly exchange of all kinds of information is a useful factor in the international cooperation which is supported by the League of Nations.
 They ask that government adopt leSlSIdllOll Dy WHICH d ItCelNlllS Std- tion license would only be given the right to receive dispatches from public broadcasting stations and trial stations. This would include radio concerts, lectures, weather, news of the stock exchange time of day and general news.
 Legislation, however, should for bid the picking up of wireless tele- grams and messages of any kind in- tended for subscribers the resolu- tions state. If these messages are received by mistake they should neither be reproduced in writing nor communicated to a third person. Moreover their use for commercial purposes should be forbidden.
 The resolutions suggest a penalty of eight days to the months inn prisonment for publication of news thus picked up or for use to the detriment of the person for whom it was intended.

 Manager Mack testified that Sum- day baseball, in his opinion, would not constitute a breach of the law. Sunday baseball crowds, he said, were dressed and more orderly than those attending weekday games.
 While I consider all our games are orderly" said the Athletic man. ager, there is something about the Sunday games that is just a. little bit different from the ordinary games. The people act little diff ferent. Perhaps Sunday ball crowd has in mind they are attend ing a Sunday game and they arc well behaved. They seem not to boo the players. They seem to have more respect for the players and the people sitting all around them in the grandstand and in the bleachers. In all my experience I have yet to see what I would call a disturbance at a Sunday ball game.'

CHEMICAL WARFARE
 THAT OF FUTURE
Scientists at Ithaca Predict New
 Type of Strife
wiliamstown. Mass, Aug. 21. GP

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 2l. P)
 There is no longer choice in re-
 gard to the adoption of chemical warfare. Sir James Irvine, noted l British scientist, told the Institute
 of Politics last night. At present. the nation which possesses the most
 efficient chemical industry, possesses also the most efficient instruments
 of war, for as long as the chemical factory remains, it is a potential war factory, he saids
 Quite possibly the war of the fu-
 ture may be declared, waged and
 won in a few sdays," he said. The
 alteration necessity for the conver-
 sion of passenger airplanes into
 bombing machines is not serious, and the chemical factories can pro- vide the poison shell filling which the airplanes will distribute on their objective. There is no longer need for the heavy ruins or the custom ary materials for war.
 'The use of chemical warfare places a premium on nations in telligence and scientific progress, and the preservation of chemical warfare will place the greater mili- tary power in the hands of the na- tions who are scientifically most progressive, thus the arguments in regard to it's use are all on the one side, namely, that If the object of war is to kill, no distinction can be drawn between the shell and gas"
 Universally. the chemist loathes the idea that his science should be rsed in this way Sir James said, but it is the general opinion that under present conditions, he connot stop it
 Secretary of State Kellogg's ad- dress at Plattsburgh Wednesday was interpreted before the institute. by J. S. Reeves, professor of political science at the University of Michi- gan, as giving assurance that the United States will continue to be at the sessions of the preparatory disarmament conference at Geneva as long as there is a pos sibiity of accomplishing results.

CONN. WORKING
 GIRLS PRETTY
Much Better Looking Than
 Those of England

Hartford, Aug. 21-Attractiveness and good looks among the working girls of Connecticut is far above the 72 per cent accorded to English work girls by Sir Thomas Legge, medical inspector of British factor ies, according to Miss Charlotte Molyneux Holloway, industrial in vestigator for the state department of labor.
 Beauty and attractiveness here would average 100 per cent if it were not for the frumps who are too indolent or too conceited to add to the good points they possess or sub tract from the bad by skillful dress ing" Miss Holloway says.
 There is no American or Conn ecticut type" she says. However, it holds true that those not beauti- fulare good to look upon. Factory workers here cannot be distinguish ed as such on the streets nor can stenographers, bookkeepers and clerks be picked as working girls when not busy at their occupations"
 While she finds that the major ity of working girls in Connecticut measure up to the modern accepted standards of beauty" Miss Holloway is of the opinion that the girls of the demure Pilgrim or semi-classic type, found more often In New Eng land than elsewhere, are particularly attractive.
 There is no mistaking the type" :" she says, land it has a quiet beauty, unlike any other, but which has to be viewed detached fully to appre- ciate 1t, even though it is first to strike one in a throng because of Its dissimilarity."
 Miss Halloway. who has travelled extensively in her work, was an in dustrial investigator and lecturer. says that the almost universal verve and chic of the American girl adds much to natural endowments, so far as attractiveness is concerned. She is of the opinion that the American girl is impressing her qualities on the girls and women of other lands, principally by reason of the great amount of travel done by Americans in recent years. American girls use more cosmetics than those of most other countries, she finds, but skill in the use and better appreciation of these aids is increasing.

PIE FOR HUNGRY BOY
 STARTS FAMILY FIGHT
Stepmother Becomes Angry, Illus band Says, and She Uses Hammer
 On Him and Then Arrested.

band Says, and She Uses Hammer On Him and Then Arrested. Konstanty Dlugezima, aged AT, of 113 Miller street, was given a sus- pended sentence of Is days in jail and placed on probation for six months, by Judge Alling in police court this morning on charges of breach of the peace and drunken ness. Judge filling told him he would be better off if he did not drink.
 Supernumerary Officer James M. McCue made the arrest about 9:15 last night, on complaint. Mrs. Dlu- gezima. who is the second wife of the accused man, testified that he at tempted to strike her and her son interfered. Dlugezima, however, claimed that one of his children by former marriage is spending his vacation with him and yesterday had nothing to eat, so he bought q pie for the boy. This angered Mrs. Dlugezima and she seized a ham, mer and hit Dlugczima with it. He took it from her and her son joined the fight and knocked him 10 the floor. Then they had him arrested, he said, Attorney B. J. Monkiewicz, representing Dlugezima. asked for leniency. saying the fact that his client has a bad record makes it simple matter for his wife and her son to come into court and charge him with drunkenness.
 Judge filling said he does not be- has had no liquor for three months because he Is not in good health. Drunkenness and breach of the peace have caused him to be sent to jail before, and if he did not drink, he would have less trouble at home, the judge said.
 The case of John Kovolski of Hartford. charged with assault, was continued until September 25. The case was heard last week and a con tinuance taken. Kovolski and his wife are at odds and have been in court often of late. Attorney B. J. Monkiewicz represents him.
 The case of William Karbonik, aged 23, of 29 Willard street, charged with violation of probation, will be heard Monday morning. Offi- cer H. c. Lyon made the arrest last evening.
