SCHOOL FUND CRISIS

Indiana State and County Officials
Meet at Milford.

MILFORD, Ind, July 20.-How to
stretch $550,000 to do the work Of
100000 was the problem considered
here today at a conference of the
State department of education, at
tended by State county officials
from all parts of the State.
The 100000 is what the State
Legislature appropriated to meet
school aid requests. The 100000
is the total amount of such requests
to date Superintendent of Public
Instruction Charles F. Miller could
not make both ends meet and called
the conference in the hope that
county officials could be induced to
reduce estimates of what they need.
School trustees and city and
county superintendent of schools
are attending. Under the law, aid
goes only to schools in financial
straits, but so many districts have
applied for aid, that Miller deemed
it necessary to thoroughly explain
the law.

1t was decided, after heated de-
bate, that Miss Gladys Turner, a
Broadway showgirl, had the best of
those present. But there was many
a sigh for the absent Miss Briggs
All the judges had inspected photo
graphs of her twin attractions and
there was no argument.
However. Miss Turner won, and
on the following grounds: Ankle
8 inches; calf, II inches; knee, 14la
inches; thigh, 20la inches.
To a leg expert. a leg speaks for
itself in a language only a true
lover of legs can understand, AS
Harry Klemfuss. secretary Of the ex-
position and one of the judges, ex-
planned:
There are legs and legs. They
may look alike to the average per-
son, but they may be worlds apart
A real leg has personality distinc-
tion-what Elinor Glyn calls tt
They actually speak to you, and
you can tell the owner S personality
without looking higher"
So there it stands. The Judges
felt that, despite the perfect meas
urementS of Miss Briggs, they could
not in justice proclaim her the win
ner without a personal inspection
However, she was awarded a silver
cup, which will be sent to her.
Her measurements. by the way
are: Ankle, ia: calf, 10; knee, 10;
thigh, 90
The winners legs will be cast by
Pompeo Coppini. sculptor. 1t is
customary to use the casts for the
standard model of dummy legs usec
in store displays and for newspaper
advertising.

BRITISH NAVAL
STEP seen AS
CLUB over U. S,
London Delegation Is Called
Home From Geneva for
Instructions
BY HENRY WOOD,


GENEVA, July 20.-The recall to
London of the British delegation at
the naval ornaments conference
was viewed IN some quarters today
as a. diplomatic maneuver to COM
pei the United States to accept the
British proposals on cruiser tonnage
and size of guns or permit the con-
ference to end in failure.
Admiral Frederick Field, British
naval adviser, who remained in
Geneva, is i'll, and it was believed
that only his condition prevented
him from accompanying w. C.
Bridgeman, Viscount Cecil, and
Captain Egerton when they lett last
night for London.
Bridgeman insisted just before he
left that the recall merely was to
report fully to the admiralty and
the cabinet and perhaps to receive
new instructions.
However, Hugh S. Gibson, head
of the American delegation, was
visibly disappointed when he
emerged last night after call on
Bridgeman.
Talk of Compromise
Despite the gloom and in the face
of denials at Washington and here
that a tentative agreement had
been reached, reports persisted today
that a COMPROMISE agreement was
in prospect.
The compromise, 1t was under
stood, envisaged the conditional &C
ceptance by all three powers at the
conference of total tonnage OF
625, 900 each for the United States
and Great Britain and 100000 for
Japan.
twenty-five per cent Of that
quota, however, would be obsolete
ships.
In other words, excluding the OBJ
solete vessels, Great Britain and the
United States each would be allowed
visible tonnage" of half million
and Japan 325,C00, and an invisible
tonnage" of obsolete vessels for the
remainder
The obsolete vessels would be in
tended only for defensive purposes.
Other Problems Remain
Even if such compromise agree
ment has been reached, several vital
problems remained to be settled be-
fore the conference can be called a
success. They included two ques-
lions on which the United Stated
and Great Britain thus far are as
far apart as ever: The size of guns
for cruisers and the number OF
10.0O0-ton cruisers.
The British delegation was eX-
pected to be away for the remainder
of the week. During its absence the
United States and japanese dele
gates will mark time, as any agree
between the two powers without
Britain's approval would be mean
ingless.
The Japanese, IN statement to
the press, said they would accept
any compromise favorable both to
Great Britain and the United States

The phono- itlms as now presented are all that has been said of them. They are absolutely coordinated as to speech and action, the speech is clear and perfectly understandablc and the music is exceptionally fine All in all. it appears that the talking movies are success and will be an asset to any theater
 The program being offered at the Lyc"nm is a. four unit one and Of pleasing variety. The first flash on the phonotilm screen is an official of the company who makes a short introductory address explaining the DeForcst invention and giving q mental glimpse into the future in solar as talking movie development is concerned. Another number is an exceptionally fine soprano operatic star. Eva I.eoni who gives several numbers In costume and with full stage effects Through the phonofllms, her voice comes as clear and undistorted as the best radio reception. The Radio Franks, nationally known hroadcasters. give their musical presentation and fin ally Ben Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt orchestra is heard. This is good selection. the orchestra features being accurate both as 10 rendition and tonal qualities.
