Three American WOmen Lead Battle
 for World Wide Citizenship Rights
By SUE MCNAMARA

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 10.- Three American women have been engineering the campaign in Geneva which it is hoped will re- suit in equal nationality right for women the world over
 Meeting This Month
 The League of Nation will de- eide the matter at its meeting this month. If it adopts the re- commentators drafted by it's consultative committee for women at Geneva in July, it means that women of all countries will no longer be deprived of their na- tionality rights when they marry foreigners.
 Back of the stupendous task of compiling reports from 90 coun- tries and in rousing women the world over are three strong per sonalities:
 Alice Paul, quiet little woman of Quaker ancestry who dresses in shades of violet and grey and who shrinks from publicity
 Doris Stevens, dashing feminist leader whose activities have been front page stuff" and who will ingly goes to jail for the cause"
 Mrs. o. H. P. Belmount, wealthy society leader whose counsel and money have enabled the women to continue their fight.
 Headquarters in Chateau
 In Mrs. Belmont's chateau near Paris, which is unofficial head CTS for feminist activities of two continents, men and women from all over the world discuss femin- ism as they sip tea at carved and inlaid tables or walk through miles of gardens.
 Mrs. Belmont supplied the money to maintain office at Gen. eva for Alice Paul, chairman of the nationality committee of the women.
 Alice Paul is so retiring that she is known personally to few peo- pie. She works behind the scenes. She seldom goes to a party, even when it marks some conspicuous triumph for feminism.
 She has clear grey-blue eyes. She says little. She is artistic and likes the contrast of fresh flowers

Then There's Tullulah


 From Alabama, which already has given the screen those southern drawls of Johnny Mack Brown and Dorothy Sebastian, comes Tallulah Bankhead, via the London stage, with a new and vibrant personality. Georgia, home state of Ben Lyon and Juliette Compton, was the birthplace also of Miriam Hopkins, petite blonde comedienne of The Smiling Lieutenant"
 Two movie stalwarts, Richard Arlen and Jack Holt, and one com edian, William Haines, are natives of Virginia, while Arkansas has a dazzling daughter in Peggy Shan non, who took Clara Bows place in The Secret Call"
 Ruth Hall has added new movie laurels to those already given Flor ida by Evelyn Brent, the star, and Leatrice Joy still upholds the ban ners of Louisiana. Kay Francis is a product of Oklahoma City
 Carman Barnes, the young writ CT who was made star" without an apprenticeship, may never do picture after all the ballyhoo, but Dixie Lee is still here from Tennessee, and Dorothy Jordan, who came out about the same time as Dixie, is almost a star.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-10

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept 10.-The Dixie drawl is holding it's own with Oxford and Broadway English in the talkies, and voices that first sounded in the land of cotton are being heard from the screen from many new stars.
 Most of the players, of course, have lost much of their genuine drawl among the mazda lanes of Broadway.
 But talkie audiences still may de- tect traces of magnolialand speech in players who hail from below the Mason-Dixon Line.
 Texas Claims Many
 Texas, which gave Hollywood many bright lights including Mary Brian, Bebe Daniels, Corinne Grif- filth, James Hall, Bessie Love and John Boles, now offers Lucille Browne, Rosalie Roy, Claudia Dell and beautiful Adrienne Ames.
 Two outstanding new comedians -ftOSCOe AueS dllu Olld Mel hCl- who use their voices to enhance their humor, are southerners.
 Ates, the stuttering comic, from Hattiesburg, Miss, came to Holly wood after vaudeville with stutter- ing learned from negro on New Orleans wharf.
 Another Mississippian in pictures is Gavin Gordon from Chicora, who played opposite Greta Barbo in Romance"
 Hiss Merkel, from Kentucky, is a lovely blonde, whose pronounced drawl has cast her in comedy roles since her screen debut in Abraham Lincoln"
 Also from Kentucky come Irene Dunne, heroine of "Cimarron," Joyce Compton, Arthur Lake and Tom Douglas. new juvenile from the stage.

When she began her great task of compiling the nationality laws of 90 countries three years ago, she found they differed greatly.

R1-When Mahafma Gandhi set
foot on Frances shores TODAY he
had completed q 6.000-mile boat
trip to beard the British lion on
his own hearth and had spun
enough yarn-it was said-to reach
around the world.
As he walked down the gang
plank in his scant loin cloth, with
Miss Madeline Slade, his disciple.
at his heels, his lack OF attire was
q revelation to the blase French
people, who seemed to feel that
even a saint should wear more
clothing.
Appearance Deceiving
The appearance OF midas mys-
tical leader in her nom violent
fight for independence was made
even more grotesque by q non
descript collection OF pots. pans
and . spinning wheel dangling
at his side. He hardly looked the
figure upon which IL Is agreed the
fate of the second round table
conference depends.
But he soon dissipated whatever
prejudice existed against him be-
cause Of his weird appearance by
casting an infectious smile upon
those who seemed to regard him
as a fanatic. He submitted grace
fully to q volley of questions from
French journalists, who had diff
csSlty in grasping his quaint biblical
English, enunciated in a lisping
voice.
The Mahatma looked q bit bag
gard and anxious. for ne had lain
awake all night in anticipation OF
the great mission facing him at
London. Although he ate consider
able more food and had more sleep
aboard ship than in India. ne adj
ded only two ounces to his scant
IS pounds Of weight.
Throughout the tortnight's voy-
age he pursued the same austere
life as at home. ignoring the
constant deck sports, dancing.
card playing and drinking going on
around him. He slept day and
night on the deck a. peacefully a.
a child.
When asked by French customs
inspector whether he had anything
to declare. Gandhi answered:
Declares Goods
Il am a poor mendicant. All my
earthly possessions consist Of these
spinning wheels. some dishes. q

ton. which can't be worth much"
Have yop any cigarettes. cigars,
alcohol. firearms or narcotics" was
the next question.
"Oh, no, I neither smoke nor
drink" he replied, besides. being
an advocate of non-violence, ]

Next came the 70-year-old Pan
dit Malaviya, whose baggage con-
sisted largely or sacred mud and
water from the river Ganges-all
exempt from duty.
AS Gandhi was ushered to the
special train TO Paris bv an English

asked him bluntly II he would not
