apparently was at an end today.
"There'll be no marriage" said Mrs.

agreed that the romance was a mis-
take.
Sylvia's father. reported to have
amassed a fortune of $4,000. .00O

prise on his return from Florida to
learn that his daughter and the 25-
year-old Ezequelle had applied for a
marriage license.
Application for a license was filed
in the town clerks Office Wednesday
but the license was not issued because
under a Connecticut law a girl under
II years Of age must obtain her par
ents' consent to marry.
Sylvia's sister, Eileen, married Kay
Don. noted British speed king, in 1892.
Ezequelle, the son of a retired Stam-

September IS Closing Day.
The Stars contest, which has met
with the unanimous support Of all
civic and trade groups of the Capital
TO date, will continue throughout the
Summer months, with September Is
set as the concluding date.
OF particular interest to suburban
residents is the 500 cash prize Of
fered by the Washington Board of
Trade as a landscaping award, sup
plementing the 81 900 to be given by
The Star for structural changes. This
award will be made for outstanding
improvement made to the surround
ings Of the home. All home owners in
the metropolitan area are eligible.
Over and above these inducements
to renovate, there is a sl00 oonus
awaiting the civic association which
conducts the most successful cam
paign in its territory. The award OF
this prize will be based on the per-
centage of completed home projects
resulting from the associations cam
paign.
Business houses in the Capital are
evincing interest in the contest. and
several are now considering supple
menting the cash awards with other
household prizes. including new equip
ment, appliances and interior fur

GERMAN GIRLS TO GET
HOUSEHOLD TRAINING

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 4.-Rigid household
work instead of joyous "flapper"
times awaits some 100000 German
girls who left school at Easter, If an
official appeal made yesterday for a
household year for girls" is met.
The plan is to reduce unemployment
Of girls who have not found Jobs BY
acquainting them with their future
work as housewives and mothers.
Support Of housewives by hiring
girls and putting them through a
full-fedged training course is de-
manded by the Nazi Association of
German Girls, which said:

open your homes to these girls. Ger
man parents-You must teach girls

ism seems to France to make the ira
ditional German menace" twice as
acute as before.
Friends Sought.
Therefore. the new French cabinet
seeks by all means not only to
strengthen France itself. but to secure
the friendship of all the worlds ma
tions whose fundamental principles
are opposed to the principles of Hit
lerism.
The United States, as a Nation
seated squarely on self-government
and as fundamentally opposed to ter
ritorial expansion through war and
threats of violence, is believed by the
French to be a natural ally" in the
struggle for the preservation Of O
liberal civilization.
Feels Need of United States.
Consequently. whereas internally
the French government is considering
the extension Of time of military serv-
ice, and whereas it turns for direct
military support even to Communist
Russia. from the United States it
hopes to secure a cultural and politi-
cal understanding of deeper sort.
Obviously the non-payment of what
Americans regard as legitimate debts
was an insurmountable obstacle to
any real cooperation. The French
government, particularly those ele-
ments represented in the present cab
met, feels this. 1t is but natural that
eventually the settlement of the debt
dispute would become part of the ac-
tive program adopted by Foreign
Minister Louis Barthou as the French
answer to Hitler.

ANSW DUhNA AAJSsIs
Many Wall Street smart fellows have
worked themselves into frenzy the
last few days trying to find the answer
to the Treasurys new stabilization
fund mystery.
They suspect further dollar devalu-
alton, more gold or silver buying, pos
sibly Federal backing for the bond
market.
What has driven them balmy is the
fact none of these steps is needed,
none of them sounds logical, but then
why did the Treasury take its gold
profit and prepare its stabilization
fund for action at this time?
Worried About France.
The most satisfactory whispered ex-
planation is that the Treasury did it
because of France. Insiders have been
expecting France to go off gold at any
time, at least to the extent of declaring
gold embargo against exports to
non-gold countries.
Advance information also indicated
the May day riots in Paris would be
much more serious than they were.
When France giues up the gold
sponge there are bound to be strong
fluctuations in both sterling and
the dollar. The Treasury trdnted to
be ready to counteract these fuctu-
atoms whenever they come.
There is just one trouble about that
explanation. 1t comes off the record
from official sources. The oficial boys
never have been particularly truthful
in explaining their foreign exchange
purposes.
Dillinger Causes Frenzy.
The Department of Justice has beer
a beehive inside since the last Dill
linger escape Word has been passed
down the line that he must be cap
tured. Apparently the higher-ups are
worried about the political effect.
There seems to be a general feel
ing on the outside that Dillinger
mould be in a cell noU it the Fed
erdl agents mould cooperate NTH
State and city police.
The agents are being accused OF
trying to make a grandStand play by
working alone. That is not the real
explanation of why the Federal agents
are working alone. They do not trust
local police in many localities.
New Deal Joke Too Real.
A group of new deal economists was
sitting around gabbing the other day
when one hit upon bright idea for
solving all our current economic prob
lens. Said he:
What we need now is to absorb 10
million unemployed and to stimulate
the capital goods industries at the
same time.
