ENDING OF WAR URGED
BY KATHLEEN NORRIS
Appeals to American Women in
Address Yesterday at
Y. w. C. A.

The successful general is one who
takes chances, but the reason we never
feel we can take chance in the In
terest of peace was sought by the nov
elist Kathleen Norris in an appeal to
American women to stop the juggernaut
of war in an address yesterday at the
Y. w. G. A.
Introduced by Mrs. Daniel Partridge,
ir., Mrs. Norris talked to an enthusiastic
audience of men and women. She
claimed that if small quarrels among
neighbors could be settled by arbitra-
ton, international problems could be
solved the same way, but that the way
must be shaped by American women.
If they point the way, she thinks
women of other nations will follow.
She pointed out that we are still pay
ing for every war that has incurred in
our country since its inception. She
said there was no abuse or corruption
or dishonesty that could be compared
to the conditions that follow war. and
begged the women there not to be dis
couraged by masculine or technical war
talk.

The Supreme Court ruled yesterday
that Karl F. Voehl, an employe of the
National Electric Supply Co. of Wash
ington, was entitled to compensation
for an injury to his spine. This decis-
ion reversed the Court of Appeals.
The accident occurred on a Sunday

employment to get it in shape for work
on Monday, and removed a lead of
ashes which he took to his home to be
used in filling in his yard.
The commissioner awarded him COM
pensation of $3.50 with $25 week for
a specified period, for injury incurred
in the scope Of employment.
The Indemnity Insurance Company

ance carrier, contested, holding the in

employment.
The District Supreme Court held

u. S. ACTION H|NTED
IN HARTzELE CASE
Officials Here Learn Time for
Deportation in Estates
Fraud.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| LONDON, February 7.-Washington
authorities are showing decided in
terest in Oscar M. Hartzell, who is be-
ing deported to America today as an
undesirable alien, allegedly having per-
petrated a fraud on persons in the
United States while he resided in Eng
lang.
The activities which resulted in his
deportation were connected with the
prosecution of claims to the so-called
Sir Francis Drake estate.
The State Department at Washington
has inquired of the consulate here
which ship he will sail on and when
he will arrive in New York, but there
was no indication as to why this in
formation was wanted. Hartzell will
be taken from Brixton Prison to Plym-
outh tomorrow and placed aboard
the steamer Champlain, which is due at
New York on February Is.
He is leaving behind life which
aroused the envy of many of his ac-
quaintances who thought him fortu-
nate in his fine apartment, his car and
chauffeur and his ability to dine in
London's best restaurants.
Inquiry Takes Years.
The consulate has been working On
the so-called Drake estate affair for
years, mainly through Consul N. P.
Davis and Vice Consul Guy w. Ray.
It was on information provided by the
| consulate that the British authorities
acted.
The consulate is giving its version Of
the situation III a letter addressed,
among others, to American chambers
OF commerce and to many individuals
throughout the United States who have
been inquiring about the alleged Drake
estate.
The letter follows:
'You will no doubt recall previous
correspondence with this Office or with
Scotland Yard relative to the activities
of one Oscar M. Hartzen and his agents
in collecting funds for the prosecution
of claims to the so-callcd Sir Francis
Drake estate, and will, therefore, be in
terested to know that a deportation
order has been issued against Hartzell
by the British authorities as an unde-
Sirable alien on the ground that while
residing in this country he has perpe-
trated fraud on persons in the United
States. He will leave England for the
United States on February 8.
Seeks Wide Publicity.
"F'or many years the consulate gen.
cral has endeavored to discourage per-
sons in the United States from con-
tributing funds for prosecution of
claims to the Sir Francis Drake estate
and other alleged old estates in Great
Britain, and it, therefore, earnestly
hopes that this latest development in
the Drake case may be given the fullest
possible publicity with the object of
preventing other trusting people from
being duped as hundreds have been
duped already by this and similar
frauds.
There simply are no old unsettled
estates in England of any size and there
is not the slightest possibility of sue
cessfully questioning the settlement of
any that was effected number of years
ago.
Therefore, the prima facie presump-
ton with regard to any person who
solicits funds with which to prosecute
such cases is that that person is a
swindler engaged in operating a conf
dence game"

odd things at odd moments. It's lines
are sometimes made to seem witty
by a cast which is far more expert
than the play. Even Miss Bankhead
has not more than a half dozen
words which are worth shouting
about. She drifts in and out, and
loves first one man, then another,
and when. at the end of the second
act. you are quite sure the play Is
over, you suddenly realize that the
curtain must go up again and that
something more Is inevitable.
This weakness is, however, prob
ably only temporary. At the moment
the first scene is being rewritten,
and new actors are being rehearsed.
BY the end of it's Washington Sc
mester. the play may bob up and
be quite different. Heaven knows,
the cast deserves it-particularly
Miss Bankhead.
The best OF last night was that
moment when Mary Clay miss

ding dress, being politely Tilted al
most at the very altar. Clutching a
sheaf of Gala lilies, very lovely in
tulle and satin, gathering her brood
of bridesmaids around her, Mary

matrimony-shivering and shaking
and denouncing all wedding cere-
monies in general. The organ was

are grateful, too, when, at the final
curtain, after some amusing skir-
mlshings in that direction, Miss Clay
melts into the ave-been-faithful

Tingle. You are grateful because
Jefferson is by far the most clearly
drawn figure in the play-and you
are grateful because Fred Keating,
once the peer of all disappearing
bird-cage maestros, plays 1t.
Mr.. Keating is a new personality
in the theater. He is not only
smooth and easy moving and dap
per in word execution, but he has a
way of saying things which stamp
him as major funny man. From
now he will probably be in great
demand by all leading actresses. He
Is an ideal foil for the more than
handsome Miss Bankhead-in many
instances he even outShines her.
However, although Miss Bank
head has not been as fortunate in
the matter of play material as one
could wish-the stage should be
glad to have her back She is inf
nitely more of a personality behind
footlights than she was in the
films. Gone is that narrowed look
that Thunder Below" sea gulls
despair, that trudging from bad to
worse, that wringing of hands, and
that watering of the eyes.
In this comedy she is gay and so
nicely (and not blatantly) dressed,
that If you tire of the play you can
at least gaze with pleasure on its
heroine. That Miss Bankhead is a
popular as well as an important fig

ent last night, too, when the audi

Bankhead received a positive ova-
tion-and seemed warmly apprecia-

The expert cast also deserved its
ovation for picking its way so clev-

tions. Ilka Chase had an entrance
that was the funniest thing in the
play-and then withered into thin

the British officers pass Zesfontein, a
tiny lonely post in the barren territory

has no communication with the out

A flashy veneer of mod
ern designs, in tune with the
u t m o d ernism of the
Worlds Fair, over a core of
conservative new patterns in
the familiar Georgian, French,
Early English and Colonial
styles, and reinforced by a
sprinkling of Biedermeier,
Directoire, Italian Renais-
sance and a dozen or so other
periods-that's the picture
of the Worlds Fair market
at the American Furniture
Mart, Chicago, as more than
500 manufacturers prepare
for the opening.
The modern creations will
occupy the place of honor
in most exhibits and will mo-
nopolize the headlines-but
when the show is over, the
old dependable styles will
have accounted for most of
the volume, in the opinion
Of most exhibitors.
" But modernism, bolstered
by the terrific force of "Cen-
tury of Progress" publicity,
is expected to make it's best
showing since the ill-fated
"art moderne" doomed and
collapsed in 1927 and 1928.
Adaptations
Since the traditional pat
terms will be, in the main,
simply new adaptations of
designs that have been
standardized for two centu-
ries, it is in the contempo-
rary field that the most in
teresting changes will be evil

ardization is setting in.
Whereas in previous years
announcement of a modern

pect anything from a cubist
nightmare to a demure crea-
tion that was really nothing
more than simplified Empire,

fairly accurately forecast in

French Vanquish
English Trends

While most of the modern
furniture designs trace their
ancestry to Eighteenth century
England, style forecasters
note an increasing tendency
toward French fashions. Geor-
gian English styles will pre-
vail for several more years,
it is felt, but there will be a
rising market for French fur
niture of the Louis XVI and
Louis XIV period, together
with French Empire furniture
and Directoire.

oak styles, which run toward
massiveness.
Bedroom Styles
For bedrooms, probably
the style shown most fire.
quently will be French,
frilly and feminine, with
satinwood, rosewood, aspin
and similar decorative woods
in demand. Finishes will be
light. Boudoir chairs will
be covered in chintz and
other fabrics and patterns
suitable for making bed
spreads and draperies to
match, lending a planned
appearance to the room as
a whole.
Early American (and pro-
vincial styles of other ma
tions) will still be included
in most lines, going it's own
way and doing a good vol
ume despite the fact that
the hubbub over antiques"

have eliminated most of the
gingerbread.
4. Woods will be left in
their natural color, or with
some sort of mat stain, with
every effort made to bring out
the beauty of the grain.

5. Metals will be used, but
with more variety. Pewter is
due for greater use and prob
ably there IL be less chromium
plating.
6. Fabric for upholstery
will cover almost every tex
tile ever used for the purpose
and leather will be con-
spicuously more prominent.
7. When color is used, no
one will have any doubt as to
what color it is. Strong color
ing will be preferred to pastel
shades. Black and white will
both be used extensively.
8. Vanities will be the most
"modern' of the modern
pieces and their mirrors will
be sufficiently large to afford
excellent reflections of their
feminine users. Also, frames
will be provided in many
