MODERN GIRL DECLARED
WORSE THAN The BOYS
Encourage Petting, Smoke Too
Much and Descend to Lower
Standards, Britisher Says.

Buxton, England, July (UP)-
DR.. E. S. Griffith, of the David
Lewis Boys club, Liverpool. has in
vestigated the modern girl question
and found the situation terrible.
"Petting," he said In speech to
a convention of fellow Boys club Of
ficials here, us all too frequently
encouraged by girls.
"They rouse the daring and high
spirits of our best club boys.
Il am told by the boys themselves
that at private parties far higher
percentage of girls smoke than fell
lows.
The passing of the double stan
dard of morality for men and .wo-
men has brought. not the raising of
men to the former feminine STAN
dard, but the descent of girls toward
the mems standard.
Our boys must learn how to
deal with the modern girl"

CENSURE MOTION
IS INTRODUCED
Macdonald Starts Action
Against Baldwin Govt.

London, July 6 R-Ramsay Mac
Donald. the British labor leader to-
day made his scheduled motion Of
censure OF the Baldwin government
In the house of commons on the gov
ment's scheme for reform of the
house of lords.
In the presence Of crowded
house which showed the most in
tense interest, Mr.. Macdonald ex-
pressed regret that the government
had put forward a scheme for
fundamental changes in the house OF
lords without obtaining a mandate
from the public.
His motion. which was framed
last week, declared that the govern
ment's reform scheme "Gerrymand-
ers the constitution in the interests
of the conservative party" deprives
the house of commons of the control
of finance, entrenches the lords on q
hereditary basis and takes from the
electors the power to deal with the
upper house.
Previous to the opening Of the
house, the cabinet held a meeting
and it is understood that the minis
ters approved a statement which
Premier Baldwin proposed to make
in reply to the laborite censure mo-
ton.
Speaking In support Of the labor
motion, Mr.. Macdonald declared
that the governments proposals seri-
ously curtailed the privileges Of the
house Of commons, made funda-
mental alterations in the structure Of
the constitution, and trenched upon
the royal prerogative.
The proposals he charged, would
change the political temper of the
country seriously for the worse by
giving ascendancy over the commons
to a house enshrined in the consti-
tuition.
whoever is in office" he said,
1.-The Tories are to be in power"
The government. he went on, was
proposing with a temporary MAORI
ty to make permanent changes,
without any attempt to get national
agreement upon them. If that was
not revolution, he did not know
what it was. Never had a constitu-
tional proposal been made with less
justification. He termed it mere
partisan move.

said today in an exclusive interview

Opening of a vast unexplored
area. of tremendous potential wealth

petition that would map the area,
particularly rivers, by aerial photo

Byrd said, but that would come

British Opinion.


London, July s R-Public opin-
ion here so far as can be gagged
from the London morning newspa-
pers, Is not greatly excited over the
impasse on the cruiser question at
the Geneva naval conference. Some
papers report the situation quite
briefly, while others, which give 1t
somewhat more space, do no: COM
ment.
The London Times, alone In COM
Hnenting, attributes the ridiculous
charge" that Great Britain sought to
prevent naval parity to "mischiev-
Gus propaganda" and describes the
British proposals rs the only prac-
tical and detailed ones presented to
the conference.
Exact naval calculations, based
on the changing experience Of cen
turtles" 1t says, were offered as the
British contribution to the problem
raised by President Coolidge. They
had nothing to do with any hypoth-
esis regarding naval desires, aspira-
lions and requirements Of the Amer
lean people. They were framed In
response to President Coolidge's In
vitation. They took fairly into &C
count the declared desire of the
United States for agreed Limitation
and the permanent nedes Of the en-
pire. They are simply nothing more
nor less than this. The charge OF
Interior subtle purposes on the part
Of the British delegation is hardly
Ineligible"
The paper claims that Great Brit
ain. and has done, and Is doing. its
very best to make President Cool
idge's enterprise successful, and
thinks that frank, practical agree
ment ought to be possible.

South Pole Plans


Paris, July s (UP)-America and
the rest of the world may be able to
hear. by radio, Commander Richard
f. Byrd announce from his plane
the moment he and his companions
fly over the South Pole next Deem
Der.
Byrd. discussing his plans for the
South Pole adventure, dis closed to-
day that he has ordered powerful
wireless for the plane IN which he
will make the flight.
A few minutes before he takes off
from the edge Of the Antarctic ice
fields south OF New Zealand to fly
across the pole he will notify radio
stations so they will be re,dy to pick
Up his message when he reaches the
pole.
Portable Wireless Sets
Byrd intends to take with him
portable wireless sets to he installed
at his jumping off and at his land
ing base at the other end of the
polar flight.
Thus in case snowstorms prevent
his navigator from taking bearings
from the sun, Byrd hopes to be able
to cross-check his position by taking
radio bearings from two directions.
However spectacular may be the
idea Of talking to the world while
flying across the mythical pole,
Byrd's principal interest N the fight
is scientific. He hopes through the
flight to be able to fill in n.aps which
at present give only sketchy out
line OF the South Pole regions.
To Confirm Theories
He hopes to be able to confirm
whether an extensive continent ex-
lists or if it is broken up by water.
Plans for the trip are still uncer-
tain, he said, but he is thinking Of
trying to land at the pole with one
of the two planes to be taken on the
expedition. provided that reconnoi-
tering before the final take-off shows
the possibility of landing and taking
off at the pole without great dan
ger.
Plan To Land
Bernt Balchen, who will be one
Of Byrd's companions on the trip,
already has offered to land at the
pole and keep the motor turning
slowly while an attempt Is made by
others in the party to find traces OF
previous expeditions to the pole.
That feature of the fight, how
ever will depend largely on the
weather at the time the fight over
the pole is made.

PRIVATE MEETINGS
TO DISCUSS SHIPS
Naval Conferences Being Held in
Geneva Today

Geneva, Switzerland, July s w.
Private meetings today between
Hugh s. Gibson. American delegate.
and Viscount Ishii Of Japan. and
later between Mr.. Gibson and W. c.
Bridgeman, British delegate, failed
to improve the existing critical sit
uation confronting the tripartite
naval conference.
Lord Cecil, Admiral Sir Frederick
Field and also Rear Admiral Hilary
P. Jones, U. S. N. were present at
the Anglo-American parley which.
according to reliabl, report, was
rather lively.
Seems At Standstill
The tripartite naval conference.
with the United States. Great Brit
ain and Japan participating, is at a
standstill as far as Geneva is con-
cerned.
The next word lies with the gov
ernments in Washington. London
and Tokyo. 1t is they who must help
or even direct the solution OF the
cruiser problem which. If not settled.
means the collapse of the conference.
Apparently, Washington must tell
London that the new maximum
cruiser figures submitted by Hugh S.
Gibson embody Americas last up
yard concession, II Washington real
ly means this: and Tokyo must let
Downing street know how Japan re-
cards cruiser limitations.
The situation today is that the
American delegation has told the
British that limitation can only be
achieved by keeping cruiser strength
within 100000 tons. which Is some
10000 tons higher than the present
American cruiser strength.
The Americans say in effect: I'VE
do not object to you having 7o-odd
cruisers il you really need them, but
distribute the tonnage SO that the
total will not create a big excess over
your present total tonnage"
To this the British answer: I'VE
need about 10 cruisers. but II you
Americans insist upon keeping large
size cruisers, then we must natural-
Nv OullQ our CTulScIS up " hAn-~AAAA NAAA
size when the time comes to replace
the old ships, some thirty OF which
are Of 5000 tons displacement or
even less. II you will construct
smaller ships, it will automatically
bring down our total tonnage
figures"
Thus this cruiser puzzle Is the an
tiquated problem Of the vicious
circle"
Furthermore. Great Britain says:
Large warships symbolic agrees
sion: small ones, defense. We need
only small cruisers to protect our
trade routes and food supplies. Eng
land simply cannot run the risk OF
being isolated, and anyway we didn't
start this naval race"
The only practicable solution now
in sight seems to be private agree
ment with Great Britain that she
will continue to build a certain num-
Der of the small cruisers which she
has hitherto regarded as sufficient
jr, size for colonial operations, as in
sistence upon the right to build
10000 and 7500-ton vessels would
bring the British total near the
100000 ton mark.
