NJ. Brisgand went to the United
States to find ont why American
girls always captured the prizes in
beauty contests. He has just re-
turned home and even yet he can
not un, erstand it. He says that,
while American girls are beautiful
enough, they are not any more
beautiful than French girs.
Varied Types
ct met some charming creatures
walking along Fifth Avenue" de-
clared NJ. Brisgand. "They were
of extremely varied types, some.
times with hair as golden as a sheaf
of wheat and lovely blue eyes, and
at other times as dark as Italians
with bright Irish eyes.
'All of them were uniformly well
built and of fine proportions except
that they were a trifle flat chested.
They were all proud of their legs
and have reason to be, for sports
have developed their muscles and
given them the perfect Grecian line.
Knees Lovely
"Their knees, too are usually
very lovely and are easily seen, for
American girls wear their skirts
much shorter than the Partisan
women.
AS for sentiment the French
painter found the American women
cold-willing to exert their charm
by word and filtration, but nothing
more.
They are charming to foreign.
ers," concluded NJ. Brisgand, ''but
nearly always marry Americans"

The height Of Dustin Farnum's
success on the stage came during
the final years of the heroic. coll

his most famous roles was Colonel
Morrison, in "The Littlest Rebel :"
at the Liberty Theater in 1911. In
this play he co-starred with his
brother, William.

Long after he ceased to be .

into. the motion pictures, and for
some time he was in constant de-
mand as guest star" In important
stock companies in the cities OF the
interior, where regulations fade
more slowly than in New York.
1t was scarcely to be wondered at
that the. public adulation. to which
he was continually subjected, should
involve him in numerous affairs OF
the heart. The most serious of
these, in its apparent consequences,
was when Howard Gould, defending
his wife's separation suit, accused
Mrs. Gould of leaving him because
of infatuation for the actor.
Marries Second Time
As a consequence Of this develop

in "The Virginian," in 1904. his

NAVAL CUTS BY.
1881 SEEN BY
OBSERVERS

Conversations now. in prograsa
between Ambassador Dawes and
Premier Macdonald are not expected
by observers here to result in any
concrete action toward reduction Of
naval armaments before 1881 when
the principal naval powers must set
together under the terms Of ths
Washington arms treaty Of 1921, ia
negotiate an extension Of the capital
ship agreement.
According to well informed OH.
cials who profess to know what =
President Hoover's purpose. all the
work that is being undertaken now
is preliminary to q stage set to
a1nplify the Washington capital ship
treaty so as to include light cruisers
and other vessels not touched by
that instrument in 1921.
Optimism Checked
The wave Of optimism that pers
vaded the world with the arrival in
London Of Ambassador Dawes and
the subsequent ''significant' state.
ments by Dawes and Macdonald,
was sharply checked by President
Hoover and Secretary of state
Stimson as soon as they realized
the extent to which the American
position was misunderstood, observ.
ers declare.
As the State Department views
the situation, reduction of cruiser
strength cannot be achieved by the
League of Nations preliminary dis
armament commission at Geneva
when 1t meets next fall, but what.
ever action is taken there will be q
step preliminary to major efforts at
the 1881 arms conference. This is
said to be President Hoover's de-
sire, and American diplomacy viii
be directed to this end.
So 1aborious is the preliminary
work in evolving composite yard
stick" acceptable to the United
States out of those that must neces-
saEily be offered by Great Britain,
Japan, Italy and France, that
American experts say kasty action
is impossible If American interests
are to be protected.
The doctrine Of parity, resur.
rected by Stimson in the face Of
much loose talk in London to bring
in "idealisna' as the key to disarna-
ment, is declared here to be the
crux of the problem facing the
American negotiators.
Reaction in London to the Slim.
son ''bombshell' that has filtered
through diplomatic channels to
Washington appears to be that
naval reduction along British lines
Is not to be the simple matter, and
the parity doctrine was in the ma.
ture of wet blanket on the flame
of optimism.
Hoover Remains Out
1t is definitely accepted here that
President Hoover will not be drawn
into q discussion Of freedom Of the
seas until parity is assIIrd. and that,
Of course. to the American naval
mind, means the United States viii
either have to build UP to Great
Britain's cruiser strength, or the
latter country must be prepared to
do what this government did after
the Washington conSerence-scran
steel ships instead OF blue prints.
No one in official life here, ana
especially naval men. expects Eng
land to do any scrapping Of ships
unless they are obsolete.

The Administration s new
tariff bill, designed to replace
the act which poured $6O0,OOO,-
900 into the Federal Treasury,
last year, may not be ready
for the Senate when it recon
venes August 10, it was
learned today-a delay that
may ieopardize final enactment
of the measure.
Administration leaders reported
a fear that the Senate Finance
Committee will run into serious de-
lays when it takes up the free list
and administrative features. I'm
less the Democratic minority offers
unusual cooperation. it was said.
the bill may not be ready for the
Senate before the end of August.
Conclude Hearings
Public hearings on the bill will
be concluded, so far as rates are
concerned, on July 10. After that.
the committee must consider
articles on the free list and finally,
the administrative features. These
task may consume two more weeks,
with the committee starting lts
rate-fixing duties about the last OF
July. This program would allow
about three weeks for fixing All
