GIRLS RIDICULE
MALE ATTIRE

LONDON, Sept. Q. - American
girls are smarter and more con.
fident than their British sisters,
but the American male does not
bear comparison with his British
counterpart.
This. in brief, is the biggest inn
preston brought back to England
by 80 girl members Of the staff of
Harrods. one of the big. London
stores. after a 10000 miles tour of
the United States studying Ameri-
can store methods.
According to these girls. Miss
America has nicer legs and feet
than Miss Britain. a better figure.
shorter skirts. and more frocks 10
Wear-and better fitting ones-and
as much assurance at IA as the
average British girl has at 20.
But-American girls makeup too
much. and lip-stick is prevalent
among the very young girls, ac-
cording to these critics.
Their verdict on American men.
however. is a scathing one. "Am-
erican men dress too disgracefuily
Tor words" in the opinion of one
OF the girls. ''They are terribly
dressed, and their tailoring is dis.
gushing. The only thing to be said
for it is that it is comfortable and
clean. l wanted to put pins in the
men all the way down. There was
no fit about them at all.

STRANGE CRIME
STIRSF|NLAND

1X AMN1EM0AADAMA ANENSb BUEWAED
HELSINGFCRS, Sept. 9.-An
Ibsen tragedy, more dramatic even
than any the Norwegian authors
master mind conceived, is about to
unfold itself before the courts here
when Allan Tornudd, professor Of
the University of Turku, and his
fiancee, Miss Margit Hiininen, q
student at the same university, go
on trial on the charge Of murder.
The victim is John Engblom, q
wealthy merchant of Abo. His body
was discovered beneath the snow
of Abo's Observation Park last
winter. The police believed in sui
eide first, but soon discovered that
murder had been perpetrated. 1t
took many months before the crime
was solved, and then all Finland
was aroused by the news that the
highly esteemed professor and his
beautiful and talented student ii.
ancee had been arrested in connec.
ton with the case.
The sensation grew when Margit
frankly admitted shooting Engblom
and when Prof. Tornudd not only
admitted that he knew about it,
but Immediately held a flaming
speech before the questioning offic.
ials defending Margit and her deed.
And in that speech he revealed the
murder plot"
Margit. whose parents were
rather poor. had been working her
way through college and had ac.
cepted a position as stenographer
in Engblom's office. EngIblom was
stricken by her beauty, and when
she laughed at him struck her down
with his fist and then attacked her.
Margit told her fiancee. Enraged
the latter started out to call Eng.
blom to account, especially as the
latter boasted Of his Conquest"
But Margit insisted that she was
mistress OF her own fate, that il
was her honor that had been vic.
lated and therefore it was up to
her, and to her alone, to exact ven.
geance.
The two had a long philosophic
discussion about the right and
wrong OF the situation and finally
the professor agreed to stand aside
and let Margit settle with Eng.
blom in her own way by bullets,
IL necessary.

HAITI DENIES ENTRY SE|VATOR.K|NG, UTAH;
 SENATORS SHOCKED
CALLS KING AN UNDESIRABLE CHARGES HE MADE ACCUSA-
 TONS, PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. March "A. P)- Tn a note charging United States Senator King with having made of fensive and false statements concern ing the President of Hayti, Camille Leon, Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs notified the United States that his country would not allow the Senator to land. The note arrived after the Secretary of States office had closed Wednesday and has not yet been presented.
 Haytis action in barring Senator King is considered as serious and is a threat against the Senator's pres tige. State Department Officials could not say what attitude Secre- tary Kellogg would take, but feared that a serious precedent might be established. owing to the anger that would be aroused in the Senate over the closing of the friendly door to one of it's members.
 The Foreign Ministers cable said that Senator King was persona non grata' in Hayti and that his presence in the country would arouse the worst element of disorder in Haitian politics and cause general unrest and consequent insecurity.
 The Haitian Minister in Washing ton said that Senator King, in 1926, opposed further American interven- tion in Hayti and attacked President Louis BornO.
