LONDON, Jan. 1S O.NS0-
The male members of the Ameri-
can delegation to the five-power
naval disarmament conference
here may be a great deal more
important so far as battleShipS
and cruisers are concerned, but
it is the women who are holding
the spotlight.
This was amply demonstrated
today by the tremendous play"
given by all the London newspa-
pers to the women members of
the party. from the wives Of the
chief delegates down to the Sec
retaries and Stenographers.
The papers seized upon the
arrival of the delegation as an
excellent excuse for setting
forth for the edification Of their
readers very detailed comparisons
Of the women Of England and the
women Of America.

than their American sisters, a

Nearly all the typists wore
beautiful fur coats. In England
it is only actresses who look so
smart and striking.
"One girl wore a black sealskin
coat, lined with clipped rabbit.
Her small hat and high-heeled
suede shoes were black, too, and
her stockings the sheerest silk.
The English working typiStS would
probably stride through them in
half an hour.
"All the girls wore scarfs
swathed gracefully inside their
coats. English girls would have
tied them into fuSSy knots. Thus

SAME Gun USED IN MASSACRE
AND MURDER Of FRANKIE YALE

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 GNSO
In the form of a bullet taken
from the slain racketeer's body,
the first clue in the murder of
Frankie Uale, gang leader shot
down in Brooklyn IS months
ago, today was in the hands Of
New York police, according to
announcement of Police CommiS-
sioner Grover Whalen.
In making the announcement,
Whalen forged link between
underworld murders here and in
Chicago and linked Frederick
Burke, notorious Michigan killer,
IN a series Of murders and des-
perate crimes. He branded Burke
as the most wanted man in
the United States"
Bullet Traced
Police, who obtained the bullet
clue after enlisting the aid of
the science Of ballistics and CO,
operating with Chicago experts,
found that bullets which killed
Uale had been fired from a pistol
and a. Sub.caliber machine gun
owned by Burke, according to
Whalen.
Other ballistics experts work
ing in Chicago showed the ma
chine gun had been used in the
st. Valentines massacre Of seven
members Of the George (Bugs)
Moran gang in Chicago garage,
Whalen said.
In addition to being implicated
In the Moran killings, police said
Burke Is wanted for a murder
In Detroit eight years ago and
for the killing of Patrolman
Charles Skelly on December IA
last.
Arsenal Found
Indirectly the killing of Skellv
led to the scientific campaign of
the. ballisticS experts which
brought to light the evidence
claimed in possession of police
today. Skelly halted Burke's car
near the killers home in st.
Joseph, Mich, and was shot down
without warning. Hurrying to
Burke's home later authorities
discovered well-equipped arse
nal. Machine guns and other
weapons of gangSters were found.
Shortly afterward the present
investigation was opened by
Chicago and New York police.
The machine gun used to kill
the Brooklyn gang chief and the
members Of. the Moran gang was
traced to an arsenal" in Chicago.
Whalen said the arsenal was
also patronized by Al Capone,
Chicago gang leader now serving
a jail term in Philadelphia. At
the time Uale was killed there
were accusations that Capone had
ordered his death. Capone, how
ever, said he was good friend"
of Uale and knew nothing Of his
murder.
Taken to Chicago,
The bullet taken from Uale's
body was carefully carried to
Chicago several days ago by two
New York detectives, who re-
turned here today. In. Chicago
the detectives worked with the
bureau Of crime prevention, North

Let Hubby
Take OUer
Household
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A letter from a woman who gives
no street address necessitates an
answer through this column. Her
problem is a battling one, but famil-
lar to many wives. She writes:
I'VE are 40. There are three chill
dren, the youngest just entering
school. For the first time my hus-
band insists that, now that they are
away all day, I have nothing to do
and should find some outside work.
I do everything in the house, in
Guiding washing, ironing, clean
ing and some sewing, yet to him I
do nothing.
Nor do I mean that exactly as 1t
sounds. Except that he does not
understand why I should not find
outside employment because he
thinks an hour a day should take
care Of the work at home"
It's One of Widest
Well, this poor soul has one con-
ISOLATION, at any rate. She is not
married to the only bonehead in the
world. One of the widest state
ments ever put out by any man is
to the effect that he could turn off
the houSework in jiffy and have all
the day to loaf.
AS for this particular husband,
We must take it for granted that
he is an intelligent man. He should
be, as he is teacher. That be-
ing the case, the sensible thing for
the misunderstood and moderated
wife to do is to call a family con-
ference and discuss the thing frank
ly. She should induce him to take
over her job for a week or two-the
Christmas holidays would have been
an ideal time for this innovation
and demonstrate his theories to her.
It's Real Cure
Certainly he could hardly refuse
to put them into practice for her
benefit. Then, when he has shown
how well and quickly he can man
age the work, including washing and
ironing for family of five, she
should be willing to admit herself
incapable and set about hunting
something else to do.
This is the only way that men
can be cured of making such rash
statements. Whenever they actually
do homework as easily and nom
chalantly as they insist it should
be done, they will be awarded the
palm for efficiency, and I feel sure
no woman will grudge it them.
Moreover, if they are SO clever at
housework, which is conceded to be
one of the most important of all
jobs, why not permit them to take it
over entirely? No person who is so
skilled at anything as they claim to
be at domestic tasks should be
wasting his talents in other ways.
