STANDARDIZING
IN j. s. HIT

PARIS. Augs 20 Q.N.s).-The
predominance Of American methods
is a great danger to the old civil.
zation OF Europe according to An
DIRE Siegfried, eminent professor OF
the Ecole des Sciences Politiques In
Paris.
"T'he great success America has
experienced, writes Prof. Siegfried,
"is due to the fact that she ts
working for the masses and by
means of standardization.
Everyone. from San Francisco
to New York, wears the same kind
OF hat. And more than that. every
one Of the heads that wears the
hat Is also standardized. The
American system works like q
wonder with the utmost simplicity" 7"
The same thing is impossible in
Europe, he explains, with customs
barriers every few miles. But If
America surpasses In quantity, the
Old World is still ahead when 1t
comes to quality,
"Amesica Is great for invonting
machines" says Monsieur Siegfried
"but she would never know how to
make design. Europe, too, is
far ahead when It comes to the
resources Of individuality. the gift
Of invention and the genius OF
creation"

MILLIONS LOST
BY SISTERS

LONDON. Aug. 20 u.N.S).--After
stalking every cent thew. possessed to
win a fortune estimated to amount
to between $4,000. 900 and $12.500..
900 and finding apparently conclusive
proof of their right to the money,
three sisters have been informed by
the English courts they are 100
years too late and their claim must
be dismissed under the statute Of
limitation.
Thus has ended the romantic case
Of the L'Epine millions, one of the
most sensational legal actions Of
modern English times.
Ten claimants sought to estab-
lish their right to the estate OF
Marie L'Epine, a lunatic who died
intestate in 1889, but three sisters
Miss Amy Mason, Miss Jessie
Mason and Mrs. Harrison-were the
leading spirits and bore the bulk
Of the work and expense In the
search for fortune.
The estate lapsed to the Crown
on Marie's death, and King George
III, presented it to Lord Howe with
the stipulation that should the heirs
Of the L'Epine line later materialize
the estate should be restored to
them.
The sisters intend to form a syn
dicate with the object of having
the entire case retired.
