WASH 4|NGTONFASHHONS By Wilma LovNe

This will be a summer when
your shoes will count for a
great deal in the general chic
of your costume. Skirts are
just long enough to throw the
feet into prominence without
hiding them at all. And so
shoes must be smart, neat and
in good condition. Shoes are
simple this season, it is true,
and incline toward tailored
lines, but because of their SIM
plicity, they go to great lengths
in beauty of material and in
color. You'll find lovely doe
skins in pastels, soft buckskin
tailored as beautifully as a suit
for sports, interesting street
shoes of dark suedes or kid, and
evening shoes more imaginative
than ever.
DOeSkin in PaStelS
We've just had the privilege
of an advance look into the
stock of a shoe store that is
just opening up, or to be more
exact, a New York store that is
opening a Washington branch.
They've had a reputation for a
long time for very smart shoes
at low prices, and made a point
Of designs by debutantes, or
other women well known for
clever dress. Now they have a
French woman as stylist, and
the shoes have a decided French
flavor, especially those for eve
ming. Though there are sturdy
sports shoes too, with crepe
soles and Of dependable leath-

to calmness. did you escape?"
Unfortunately for you, I
have a full pardon-for good
conduct" said Kruger with sat-
isfaction. "No chance to rail-
road me back to that hell"
He was thin as a scarecroW
and the light in his eyes was
feverish. In comparison with
the groomed and confident men
of her present life, Kruger was
but a human animal in ruin.
He was here to besmirch her
Joy of life, but Leni uncon-
sciously showed pity as we'll as
revulsion in her face.
"You will want money, OF

was what you always wanted.
Very we'll. An arrangement can
be made. I give you my word.

will talk with you at my home"
Kruger laughed outright.
"You seem to forget-I'm still
your husband"
The violet color Of Leni'S eyes
darkened almost to black. Very
slowly the clodness of her breast
was beginning to melt against
spreading flame she struggled
to suppress.
"For what you did to me you
should have been killed." she
told him. Each word came like
drop of molten metal out OF
her tight throat. Fourteen
years old-a factory child in
Vienna-Yes, you married me.
Karl Kruger. You took me to
Berlin and London-and what
did you make of me? Heaven
help you! They will build a
special inferno for men like

The Morality Clause
Kruger started to rise, red
flush mottling his forehead. AS
he raised his hand he called her
an epithet in German. But he
did not strike her.
Don't forget-you are what
they call a criminal alien!" he
cried out. IT can have you de-
ported if like. If the public
knew why you spent six months
behind the bars in Wormwood
Scrubbs-you wouldn't be much
of a star, hey? You wouldn't
like your record paraded, hey?
Queens of the screen can't stand
publicity like that. No! know
all about these morality clauses.
Women like you can't stand
scandal and disgrace-not when
it's true. I think you'll listen to
me, my famous Leni Luneska!
Oh, yes-you'll be reasonable!"
Leni's hands were clenched.
"Just what do you want?" she
asked intently.

Ruloff Cutten later admitted
the purchasing syndicate had paid
the Sinclair Oil Company nothing
from October "a until December
81, 1928, the date of the first stock
delivery. He said the purchasing
contract gave Arthur Cutten 30
days grace and upon notice Of
the treasurer of the corporation"
another 30 days before any pur-
chase money would have to be
paid to the corporation,
This contradicted his proViouS
statement that Sinclair did not
sell the stock to stockholders Of
the Sinclair Corporation because
he wanted to raise the money at
once.
Cutten stated the $4,000, 900
paid to the Sinclair Corporation
on December z, 1928, in pay
ment for 100000 shares was
advanced by his brokerage firm.

Then. under prodding by Ferdi-
nand Pecora, the Senate's Spe-

ditional details Of the amazing
financial manipulation. He said:
"The trading syndicate had
sold q little over 100000 shares
on balance, which represented
. profit Of about 100000.
There was really q Is per cent
margin on the balance unsOld.

didn't have to be called on
for margin"
Ruloff admitted the syndicate
was selling short. He admitted
the purchasing syndicate did not
intend to hold the Sinclair stock,
He said the participates wanted
to sell their stock to the public "at
q profit if possible" and then the
trading account was organized to
help the purchasers to sell their
stock at a profit.
