played marbles. Bedding tumbled out of second story windows in block of rundown tenements and Gypsy set her teeth, pushing David's carriage along this par ticular sidewalk. To-day she hated it all city smells, rich, pulsat- ing life. On other days it amused and interested her, gave her vivid sense of things happening. To-day it irritated her beyond measure.
 When she let herself into the apartment at 5 o'clock the tele- phone was ringing shrilly. She laid David carefully down upon the bed-he was peacefully asleep and hurried to answer it. Toms voice said, Look, dear, is it Elsa's night in?'
 "No. Why?" She thought, so we're talking commonplaces while he's deceiving me and my hearts breaking.
 "Oh, good gosh, I asked Gib- son to dinner before I thought. I'm sorry, darling. What shall l do now?" -....
 "You mean Hunt?"
 "Yes. Met him outside the Gen. tral Hanover an hour ago and it seemed a good idea at the time. I've been trying to get you ;"
 This was reprieve, Gypsy thought, both for him and for her. She steadied her voice. .Oh, Hunt can take pot luck," she told him. Let him come along"
 That's good girl. That's a darling"
 Gypsy put the phone down with unnecessary vigor. So she was a good girl and darling, was she? Well, she'd show him! It was one of David's good nights and that was a bit of luck. Gypsy was permitted to serve dinner without single in- terruption.

To emulate the coiffure style set by Little Women" a special type of clothes and a new line of thought as to cosmetics are neces- sary. If you're going to cut bangs and do your hair as Jo, Amy, Meg and Beth did, you'll have to con- sidr your whole ge.-up from a Vic- torian view point.
 The Katharine Hepburn fringe is quaint and old fashioned and you'll mar the effect of it if rouge is applied too blatantly or if clothes don't harmonize.
 One smart New York debutante arranges her hair a la Little Women," wears no rouge at all, applies a touch of eyeshadow to her lids and uses lipstick gener- ously.
 To see her with a little urban effect, fur-trimmed hat and di- minutive huff to match the fur on the hat is well worth what it costs her devoted young man to take her to lunch.
 Not that you have to. Ego" com pletely mid-Victorian in order to wear your hair that way. There's no reason why a modern woman should look incongruous wearing that coiffure on a warm southern beach.

Paris The three important elements that enter into the crea- ton of dress and from which it derives ts character are line, move ment and color. The first and last usually are those which suffice, at first glance, to pass Judgement on a model. Movement comes last in the process of appreciation, but at this juncture it's importance be- comes more evident and one req lizes then how indispensable a fac- tor it is in the makeup of beau- tiful gown.
 1t must be admitted too that the couturier is considerably as- sisted in the realization of the ef- feet aimed at because his creation is worn by human being. A dress in reality Is "still life". and life is imparted to it by the wear CT, provided it lends itself to life, that is, if the creator studied it's movement and worked to this end. ..
 In very light and diaphanous dresses of printed fabrics. move- ment is obviously the prime factor even to the profane eye, the line being almost completely atrophied by the design. To appreciate move ment, we must study the more tailored type of dress wherein, al- though less apparent, movement is far from having been overlooked. Only then vii we be convinced of it's importance in any style. This was the case with certain bolero effects of last season. and is in- variably the case with bloused ef- fects, to cite but two of the many means of conveying movement and suppleness to dress.
 The present styles derive much of their attraction and character from the fullness given to the bust; a bloused effect or 8 drap- cry combined with a fitted waist line outlining softly every move- ment and attitude of the feminine body lends a distinctive and sup pie charm to the silhouette.
 To speak somewhat paradoxi- cally, a dress should also be judg- ed by it's movement when it's wearer is still. In other words, the natural attitudes of woman are different from those of a man.

Senator Lewis, Democrat Of Illinois,

said today he had heard rumors that
several major provisions involved In
the controversy had been eliminated

Canada.
IF this be true" Lewis added, "it

Provisions Lewis said he had heard"

rumor also had it that the new pact
would acknowledge complete American

confirmation of these reports are lack

INDICTMENTS OF SIX
SEEN AS POSSIBILITY
New York "Consultants" Report

Face Dismissal.
BY REX COLLIER

Smashing what officials allepe was
a 1ar-reachlng conspiracy to defraud
taxpayers and the Government. Sec
retary Of the Treasury Morpenthau
mas dismissed two employees of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, one a respon-
sible official, and will seek a number
OF indictments before the District
grand jury.
The plot involves two prominent
New York tax consultants," who are
alleged to have conspired with the
Revenue Bureau employees to fix" i'm
portant tax cases pending before the
bureau.
Indictment of at least two and pos
sloly SIX persons may result from a
mass OF evidence to be presented to
the grand jury by special agents of the
Intelligence Unit of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau. The investigation which
led to disclosure of the alleged plot was
conducted under direction of Internal
Revenue Commissioner Guy T. Hell
vering.
Two Secretly Dropped.
One official and an auditor at head
quarters Of the bureau here and two
revenue agents attached to the New
York office of the bureau have been
under investigation. The local en-
ployes have been secretly dropped from
the rolls and the agents also will be
dismissed shortly, it is said

were contemplated. He is alleged to
have been influenced by the outside
tax advisers to quash cases against
certain clients of the New York firm.
The consultants are alleged to have
charged large fees for their special
services" in fixing matters" at Wash
ington. One of the clients who was
approached with such a proposition
by the firm is understood to have
complained to Treasury officials. An
inquiry by the Intelligence Unit was
launched under supervision of Elmer
L. ORGY, chief of the unit.
To what extent taxpayers and the
Government were defrauded by these
methods has not been revealed.

One Case in Six Figures.
However, a sum running into S.,
figures is reported to be at stake in
one case alone and officials at the
Treasury are said to believe that the
investigation may reveal further rami-
fications extending back over . period
of years.
One of the persons who will be
named in the conspiracy has been
with the Internal Revenue Bureau for
more than a decade. 1t is possible
the Government has been defrauded
of many hundreds of thousands OF
dollars during that period.
Indications are that the evidence
will be placed before the grand jury
late this week or early next week. AS
additional evidence is collected, there
may be further grand jury proceed

NUMBERS RACKET
BREEDS VIOLENCE
SeIf-Defense Staying Is Laid
to Prosperity of Those
in Game.

Inspector Frank S. w. Burke, chief
Of detectives. sees the spread of Jeal-
ousy and hatred, with attendant mur-
der. as a result of prosperity for op-
orators of the numbers game.
In his long career coping with
crime, Inspector Burke speaks with
authority when he says: There is
no doubt the numbers game has grown
to great proportions in this city. and
the effort of The Star to bring an end
to it is commendable. The Wash
ington Post, Herald and Times and
the local radio stations, in joining the
campaign to suppress the winning
numbers from the race tracks. can
help nightly in the suppression of
q racket"
One Example.
Just how jealousy and hate operate
is shown by Inspector Burke, who re-
calls the case of q numbers runner
who was trailed by a Philadelphia
gangster. Harry E. Sladko, some
months ago on New Hampshire avenue.
The Philadelphian, through the under
world grapevine. heard that there was
plenty of money being made by the
numbers game runners and operators
in Washington. So the racketeer came
here to see for himself. He learned
plenty. One night he trailed num-
bers runner who was carrying lot of
money. The numbers runner had a
bodyguard. When Sladko attempted
to stick up" the numbers game run
ner there was shooting, and Sladko
got killed.
Breeds Death.
THAT is concrete evidence Of what
the numbers game breeds" said In
spector Burke today in recalling this
case 1T was death on the streets of
Washington, and the man who killed
the gangster was exonerated, having
acted in self defense"
Naturally, the head of the homicide
squad is not anxious to have a repeti-
ton of this affair, but he believes that
murder will be committed merely as
an outgrowth of jealousies and hatreds
engendered among men operating the
numbers game unless it is broken up.

Matsudaira Denies Toxic
Wants Equality Only
With u. S.

LONDON, November 26.--Japan's
desire for full naval equality was en-
phasized again today by Ambassador
Tsuneo Matsudaira in meeting with
Norman H. Davis. member of the
Washington delegation to the current
tri-power negotiations.
Matsudaira said Japan wants equal
ity with Great Britain as well as the
United States and formally denied
some reports published abroad that
Japan had suggested equality only
with America.
The two also discussed procedure
after Japan denounces the Washington
treaty but no specific statement was
made by Matsudaira.
Discussions yesterday between Davis
and Matsudaira disposed Of many
pending points on which clarification
was sought. Hope for an agreement
was not improved. it was stated.
The British delegates will be tied
up for several days by debate in the
House of Commons and plans for the
wedding of Princess Marina and the
Duke of Kent They may be unable
to participate in regular meetings until
late in the week.
Japan is reported to be considering
whether to make new proposals for a
compromise but it was indicated any
Japanese offers probably would be the
original proposals in different form,
calling for abolition Of the present
5-5-3 ratio.
Matsudaira explained to Davis yes

Japan's denunciation of the Wash
ington treaty. expected in December.
Naval and diplomatic circles are in
terested in reports of the possibility Of
an Anglo-American accord on general
naval principles should there not be
