GENOA, March 27.—A Swiss stat- Jsticlan estimates that the average fox-trotter travels about one mile in ten minutes, while in the case of the other dances a dancing couple cover a mile in twenty minutes. He found that dancers at a ball ‘which lasted from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. made 56,000 steps, amounting to a distance of about thirty miles, and among them are women shod in tiny, high-heeled shoes, who would never walk a hundred yards in the street, preferring a motor car. ONE DEAD, ONE WOUNDED IN STREET PISTOL FIGHT Italian Killed by Brother of Man ‘Whom He Attacks With Gun. Joseph Criniti, thirty-nine years old, of 231 1st street southwest, is dead, and Basilo Facomini, twenty- six years old, is suffering from a bul- let wound in_his hand today as the result of a Distol fight 'at 1st and Canal streeis southwest last night. According to the police, Criniti and Facomini had been the principals in a series of bickerings for the past few months. The climax came yes- terday when Crinit{ sent a message to/Facomini asking him to meet him at 1st and Canal streets. Upon the arrival of the latter. Criniti flashed a special policeman’s badge, Which he was wearing on his breast, and is sald to have fired upon the man approaching. The bullek hit_the latter in the left hand. What Criniti did not count on, how- ever, was that the brother of Fa- comini, © Frank, was approaching. Upon hearing the shot the latter drew his revolver and fired six times.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Datly News Copyright, 1922, LONDON, March 27.—Two questions are uppermost inthe minds of Brit- ish governing circles today—how soon will the United States take steps to keep the European governments continually acquainted with its view- point and what de the interests of the world require as regardsthe rec- ognition of soviet Russia? The ab- sence of the United States- from European councils embarrasses their deltberations. Great questions press for - settie- ! ment, and with the United States ab- sent 'European statesmen are com- pelled to deal with these questions in ignorance of the American viewpoint and yet conscious that at any mo- ment this standpoint may be ad- vanced peremptorily.
