Paris. July 31 (P-The chamber of deputies today gave vote of con- Gdence to the newly created cabi- net of Premier Aristide Briande, the vote being 324 10 136.
 By the vote the old Poincare cab met with Briand as the new head, received a mandate to continue its work.
 There were nearly 40 members non-voting, some o fthem absent, but almost all of them abstaining by or der of the radical group. Neverthe- Hess Premier Briand obtained a ma iority of the whole chamber Of nearly 50 which of late had been the average margin in favor of the Poincare government.
 Will Have Same Support
 The French delegation accordingly will go to the coming Hague confer ence on reparations with the same support as former Premier Poincare would have had if he had remained at the head of the government.
 Three months truce in internal politics was asked by Premier Briand's cabinet in the traditional ministerial declaration to parliament asking the vote of confidence.
 "The hour in any case is suffl- ciently grave to justify sacrifice of all other considerations 10 the needs of our foreign policy the declara- ton states.

 The Hague conference, which IS to put into effect the Young plan, was described as ''an essential Ink in the chain Of peace.
 Refusal of members Of the radical Socialist party to enter the cabinet vas the cause of great regret to the government. but the cabinet hop cd these deputies can at least by their votes facilitate our interna- iional work" This group earlier i'll the day met and decided to abstain from voting when confidence was posed.

ANTI.SMITH LOANS
 MADE BY CANNON
Bishop Tells Tinkham Money
 Was His Own

Washington. July 31 Pl-Bishop James Cannon, Jr. chairman Of the Board of Temperance and Social Service of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, said today that all loans to the headquarters committee of the Anti-Smith Democrats of Nir- einia in connection with the cam paign of 1928 were made by him per sonally.
 The statement was in reply to questions asked by Representative Tinkham, Republican, Massachus- etts, who inquired as to the source of loans filed with the clerk of the house by the anti-Smith democrats of Virginia.
 Quotes Bishop
 Tinkham quoted Cannon as having said in answer to charges in con- nection with campaign expenditures:
 "The amazing and absolutely false statement is also made that the rec ords show that Bishop Cannon made two loans of s5,o0O each to the anti CQlIn D61lOCTdlS Ol V II Sllllds
 After suggesting that Bishop Ca1- non examine the campaign eXpend;- ture returns filed with the clerk of the house, the Massachusetts repre- sentative declared that these records showed numerous loans froal Bishop Cannon" James Cannon IT," and Bishop James Cannon Jr.," to the anti Smith democrats.
 Tn the light of Bishop Cannon's own recent indignant denials, link be interested to know CD whether the unidentified loans in the returns were made by Bishop Cannon and if not from whence the money came. CD whether the loans credited to Bishop Cannon were his own per sonal funds and if not whose funds they were.'

 All loans to the headquarters committee of the anti-Smith demo. crats of Virginia in connection witt the campaign of 1928 were made b, James Cannon, Jr, personally. ant not as an officer of the board of tenn perance and social service. These loans were repaid to him from time to time as contributions were re ceived for the work of the head quarters committee of the anti Smith democrats of Virginia"

 Dear Editor,
 Here comes letter from this land of intrigue, graft, warfare, famine, suffering, chaos, to tell you and the readers of your excellent paper about Chinas new woman who has a share in the "goings-
 If woman in China, twenty years ago. had been given q Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, she would be more surprised than he was, should she awake today. Then women had to stay indoors and work something like domestic animals Or, if of d better family, be cooped up at home and stay there. She was allowed to be seen only by her husband or brothers.
 Now what a change. The modern Chinese young women skip around the streets with a spring, grace and freedom that's quite refreshing when one remembers the women formerly hobbling along on bound feet sup i! ported by amahs. Now girls bob, shingle, or permanent wave their hair. That's a sign of freedom. They ride bicycles, play tennis, basketball and engage in other athletics. For merly the parents arranged their marriage. Now one often sees the young ladies walking very affection ately arm in arm with their "best boys" and the young people often to be the most modest of any na- tionality. Now women are often seen with short sleeves and very low necked frocks even at midday. Sometimes they're seen with the most up-to-date -beyondthe-kne short frocks and fxmsy silk hose and very high-heeled shoes. Indeed the Chinese girls are quite anus ing flappers sometimcs-shockinS sometimes-so much so that the of ficials have felt in necessary to is sue proclamations commanding them to dress modestly. The-girls have even learned to flirt in the most-up to-date way. That's freedom. They dance in the latest style. They ride horses. astride, with boots and rid ing brooches. That's English, you know"
 Once the ideal for girls was that they be able to do beautiful needle work at home. Now they are doing other things. They are clerks in stores. Some are typists and steno- graphers. Some are bankers. They play the organ or piano or other musical instruments. Some are be- coming movie artists or actresses. Some are lawyers and judges and doctors, are teachers and kinder garteners. They have become soldiers and sometimes they become generals secretaries! Women also become street-corner politicians and scream the revolutionary platitudes such as.

KEEN FOES MEET
IN WOMEN'S GOLF.
Western Champion Opposes
Fighting Nike" Who Gave
Her Trouble in '28.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

LEVELAND, Ohio, August %
The self-same Fighting Mike"
who carried her to the final
" green in the quarter finals at
indian Hill in 1928 blocked the
march of Mrs. Leona PreSsler OF Los
Angeles to a third straight woman's
Western golf championship at Mayfleld
today.
Her rival in the second 18-hole bat
tie of match play was Mrs. Lee Mida
of Chicago, who rarely wins golf
championship but who fights so hard
she almost always scatters trail Of up
sets before she herself is eliminated.
Fighting Mike" has played almost
identical golf with the champion since
the tournament opened Monday. Mrs.
Pressler scored an 80 to qualify, two
strokes lower than the stocky Chicagoan
but Mrs. Mida shot a better game In
her initial match play battle yesterday
in which she conquered Helen Peterson
Of Evanston, ILL.,, and 3. than the
descending titleholder carded in elimi-
mating Mrs Curtis Sohl of Columbus,
Ohio, the present Buckeye State cham
pion. Mrs Pressler won, 2 and !.
Had Bad Luck.
Except for a series of bad breaks, Mrs.
Mida would have defeated the Los
Angeles star last year. and she is conf
dent of turning the trick this time, as
Mrs. PreSsler doesn't appear to be as
much on her game as during the last
two tournaments.
The remaining favorites, who survived
yesterdays round, faces comparatively
mild competition today. Virginia Van
VIE of Chicago, probably the most out
standing threat to the champion in the
field, was paired against Rena Nelson,
youthful Chicagoan; Kathleen Wright OF
Los Angeles. winner of many minor and
major titles, faced Anne Kennedy of
Tulsa, Okla: Mrs. o. S. Hill of Kansas
City, medaliSt, was paired against Eva
May johnson of Chicago: Mrs. Harley
Higbie. Detroit champion, was paired
against Helen MacMorran. Chicago;
Mrs. Julian Tyler, Cleveland champion,
faced Bernice Wall of Oshkosh, Wis
former Badger State titleholder; Peggy
Wattles of Buffalo was matched against
Mrs. John ArendS of Chicago. and Mrs.
Gregg Lifur of Los Angeles, who upset
Virginia Wilson of Chicago yesterday,
was faced by Virginia Villas Of Chicago.
Record Holder Loses.
The elimination of Miss Wilson, run
ner-up in 1928, present Canadian won-
ans champion. and holder Of a record
breaking II on the Allegheny Country
OIup course OF P1tLSDur9h, was the out
standing feature of the first round.
Miss Wilson played perfect golf, but
Mrs. Lifur played a stroke better than
perfect and won by 3-and-l decision.
Another upset was the triumph Of Mrs.
Tyler over Mrs. Larry Nelson Of DAYTON.
Ohio, who finished third in the qualify
Ing test with an 80, two under par.
So far Mrs. Hill. who took up the
game eight years ago to recover her
health. has been the class of the field.
In addition to winning the medal with
a record shattering II. under woman's
par on the long course, she stroked 3
under par yesterday in defeating Mrs.
Harold Foreman of Glencoe. ILL.,, S and 3.

SHAFER, ONCE GIANT, QUIT

Never Liked Professional Game, Although He Was
Great Natural Player-Found it Interfered

player, I reply.

is here. Lock up the spoons.
So Arthur Shafer retired from big
league base ball and took up what was
then the more social art of golf. Had
he remained, he would have found HIM
self today in changed atmosphere.
The major leagues are SO full Of college
men and politeness that some of the
old-timers complain of it bitterly. When
Hack Wilson hit couple OF opposing
players his name was almost dropped
from the base ball blue book. Such &C
tons are considered most unrefined.
Not Like Old Days.
If the old Orioles let day go by
without swinging on somebody, some
body sent for a doctor and the papers
carried headlines. Even an umpire is
fairly safe these days, except perhaps in
Brooklyn.
Base ball is no longer a battle. A lot
OF the boys are getting so they regard
1t as just a game. And some of the
old-time managers who still are left
boys don't get away from that beautiful
amateur spirit there is going to be lot

But Shafer is not the only entrant at
Pebble Beach who gained fame at other
sports. This amateur tournament will

The British have sent over a fine
