He expressed the belief that
the crime is near solution, and
added that several men who have

Intercepted again, as the stories
told by some are not to his liking.

 Her first picture. Asphalt" scored a big hit. Critics of Germany and other countries on the continent hailed her as a new screen sensa- ton. She had won fame almost ovcr- night and that in q country where stars are rarely ever made in one production.
 The director who "diScovcrcd' her lost no time in starring her sec ond time. The now film. 'rhc Iris- oncr of Stamboul." was an even greater success than her first one. Now her third production. "Thc Blue Angel" is about to be re- leased.

DRESS STYLES AND STAFF SIZES
 GIVE, LONDON NEW PARITY ISSUE

London. Feb. r. Rl-Thcre's no parity in London hotels where Nari- ous delegations to the naval con- ference have been entrenched for several weeks.
 That is because some delegations have larger batteries of type writers, prettier stenographers ani a. longer range of communications tiau others.
 As it stands. the ratios Of the staffs of visiting delesatons-tl2 United States, France. Italy and Japan-are 100-1OO-6 60-50.
 The British figure is unknown because their delegations staff IS dcployed at strategic points in diff fcrent buildings, but it is believed to exceed both the French anl American staffs in numbers.
 Statistical minded persons estl- mate that parity, based on present available manpower at the confer ence, would give each delegate at St. James palace 20 busy stcnoS- raphers, secretaries and hotel at ttndants to watch his interests at headquarters behind the lines.
 Though France has reached par ity with the United States, Japan has dropped behind Italy, French stcnographcrs, however, point out they are handicapped because the Americans are equipped with 40 of tho latest model typeUritcrs. American typists do not deny their hjgh-specd machines, but say they are slowed up by a psycholoc ical factor. Fresh from the unto States, their rrocks still reflect win tcr's styles. while creations worn | by the French girls are the lates.
