PARIS, June 18-The path from stage to convent is trod steadily by French actresses.
 Some leave the footlights for the clcister because of disappointment in love, failure to achieve stardom or as a result of deep faith strengthened by roles in religious plays.

 Nuns Role Made Real

LANDS HITS AT
 BASEBALL DEALS

Chicago, January 29 - (UP) - Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis struck a blow at the chain store system of handling minor league players when he ruled against working agreement" be- tween the Cincinnati Reds and two lower class league teams.
 The ruling involves the transfer of IF players from five minor league clubs to Toronto in the In- ternational League and Ft Worth of the Texas League, in deals Landis said were made or sug- gested by Cincinnati officials.
 The commissioner ruled that in- stead of shifting the players direct ly from the smaller clubs to Tor onto and Ft Worth, Cincinnati first should have signed them with the Reds and then reassigned them.
 Signing them to major league contracts before sending them away is the transfer rule of or- ganized baseball. Landis said. He ordered Cincinnati officials to com ply with the rule or risk fines and the loss of players.

Parents Cooperation
 Requested d By Police
Number of COasting Accidents Would Be Greatly Re-
 duced If Children Are Warned Street Designated

only the full cooperation of parents with the police department in keeping their children on streets not designated for coasting can
 lower accidents in which young sters sliding are involved, declared
 Police Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean. Two more coasting acci- dents yesterday, one of them re- sulting fatally, resulted to-day in
 orders to ali patrolmen to keep boys and girls from coasting on streets not set aside for such a
 purpose. Motorists using coasting streets must exercise care if they wish to avoid arrest. In asking for the cooperation of parents, Superintendent Mclean pointed out that his department is almost powerlesss without their help. Not even if double the pres ent police force were on duty, could the city be sufficiently cov- cred to insure that no coasting was being done on unspecifed streets,
