Wesley McCornac rose in the City Council meeting recently and, with his eyes flashing jindignantly, spoke seriously against spectacle of truckloads of persons riding through the streets of Poughkeepsie in bath- ing suits and of girls walking about in hiking costumes, with low-rolled stockings. The Alderman said he thought it was terrible and demanded something be done about it. Séveral other Aldermen felt the same way and advocated laws and regulations. But after three hours of debate nothing was done but refer the question. to the police." Alderman Mc- Cornac .went to Chief of Police Wil- liam Sheedy and asked what he in- tended to do. The chief said he had- n't the least idea. / Almost everybody in Poughkeepsie soon learned how worried the Alder- men were over bare knees, and the police were overwhelmed with tele- phone calls and the newspapers de- luged with letters. But so far nothing has been dome, and the youriga women coltinue to FRANK L.

Died 456 to the girl who would do At Local Theatres AT THE NEW MARTIN At Last a Movie That Has New and Also a "Kick." Louise Fazenda admitted that dur- ing the filming of 'Footloose Wid- ows," which comes to the New Mar- tin Theatre on Monday, that fate played some important cards in her career, The comedienne in her second ap- pearance on the screen was cast in a Souther picture. She was 'all dolled up with a rose in her hair. The director came to the dressing room where all the ten beauties were waiting to go on with work and asked if one of them was willing to black up, as his "Topsy" had failed him. Nine of them were uninterested in the director's call for aid. The tenth ,being Louise, looked dismayed and touched the rose with her hand apprehensively. In spite of the fact that the director offered the act, none made any move to accept, and so Louise blackened up and received the money which was twice as much as a Southern beauty would get, She made a "hit" and was known to filmland as "Mandy, a comer." That was her first start, she says today, and as to the other nine girls, Louise nor anyone else knows what became of them. But the start that Louise got had a drawback in its way ,too. The drawback was that she became known as a character actress, and for many years nobody could see the appealing charm of the actress's face for the ludicrous comedy make- ups that she affected. 'However, the day of her triumph was to come, when her natyral good looks and her ability as a comedi- enne would win equal recognition. And her triumph has reached full bloom in 'Footloose Widows," in which, as the New York shop girl, who engineers her closest friend (played by Jacqueline Logan) along the path toward mercenary matri- mony, she is said to be as droll as ever she was, and quite as lovely as in the days when she was one of the ten Southern screen beauties. \ r-- AT THE REGENT Deep Murder Mystery Gives Thrill In "Silence" A lwhuriously appointed drawing room, three men engaged in heated argument, a beautiful girl of 17, a stream of vehement language in a- buse of the girs dead mother, a revolver shot, one of the men drops dead.

Peabody Urges Association to Oppose Col- lection From World War Allies -- Expects to Have 1,000,000 in Organization Before End of the Month Ashburnham, Mass, Aug. 7..--"The entire nation is being aroused in the campaign against the collection by the United States of the war debts asses- sed against our World War allies in Europe," Frederick W. Peabody, re- tired lawyer, declared at his home here. "Already thousands have pledged support to the propaganda in the in- terest of cancellation of the unjust assessments. Before the end of the month I expect that we will have 1,- 000,000 members in the national or- ganization which we are forming." Details of the organization are being worked out gradually. Mr. Peabody has decided on only twe definite steps. The first, which he considers the most important, is the formation of a na- tional committee of 1,000 members, which will supervise the organization of local committees in every com- munity in the United States. Mr. Pea- body's letter to President Coolidge, in which his principal reasons for advo- cating abrogation of the war debts were set forth, has been published 'n pamphlet form and this will be broad- cast throughout the nation. Receives Flood of Letters At his home on the outskirts of this little village, Mr. Peabody is "up 'to his neck" in work on the organization. His desk is covered with letters of commendation from all parts of the country. Some pledge support, others offer contributions to the :cause, and still others contain adverse criticism of the plan. "You will note," said Mr. Peabody, "that these protests to the cancellation of the debts are unsigned--usually the method employed by those who lack the courage to fight out in the open." The organization, which appears to be a certainty because of the wide- spread interest shown in the move- ment, is the direct result of the liber- ality of The New York Times in pub- lishing letters to its editor, Mr. Pea- body declared. Merely as a humble citizen, he said, he wrote his views in a communication which The Times published early in April. "When I wrote that letter, I did not PAGE THREE' SE for a moment think it would be fol- lowed by a bombardment of letters from nearly every nook and corper of the United States," Mr. Peabody said. "Several hundred, however, did write; all expressing approval of my views, and many stating that they believed the United States Government was placing an unjust imposition upon our war allies. Some expressed intense feeling and many urged me to start something to get a real public senti- ment. "I was moved to such a degree that I could. not resist tlie urge to take further steps. I Wrote to President Coolidge not in thé 'least with the in- tention of influencing him or influenc- ing the United States Government, but for the purpose of getting the facts before the people of the United States. Chey have been moved to some ex- teat; they will be moved more in a worthy cause--one in which the Unit- ed States is asked to do only what is decent and proper." for Pr g questioned regarding the financing of such a huge propaganda, campaign as he has planned, Mr. Pea- body said he was not prepared to an- nounce his plans regarding funds, but admitted that he was not standing the expense alone. To date many volun- tary contributions had. been received, he said. This money was being used d literature. Voluntary distributing ag- encies will be established in principal centres in the United States, he said, to circularize propaganda for the as- sociation, the exact name of which has not been decided upon. "Ridicule and adverse criticism in the European press have developed to a degree detrimental to the United States," he said. "The loss of prestige will be greater than the loss in money which would result from cancellatyn of the debts. The feeling abroad, es- pecially in large cities in France and England, is intense. ' "Only today I received a letter from a woman in England, enclosing a let- ter from her daughter in France. It was loaded with aggressive hatred of the United States because of the war debts of the United States assessed against France. This lady wrote that the United States was grinding into the earth the poor people in France, who, she said, could not stand the burden of additional taxation to pay money to the richest nation in the world."

OPPOSE NEW STATION The council on the Kingston Board of Trade has rejected the proposed renovation of the C.N.R. station as submitted by the railway officials at the Kingston junction. The Board feels that Kingston is entitled to a large roomy structure built of King- ston stone, and in harmony with the public buildings of the city. It will cost $35,000 to remodel the present building. A new station would cost $100,000 to $125,000. The business giv- en to the C.N.R. is about ninety per cent. of all the traffic of Kingston. The removal of the suburban train would involve considerable expense to the travelling public of Kingston and for this the citizens were entitled to com- pensation in the way of first class facilities at the station.
