Prince Patron of Group. Correspondence of The Associated Press. STOCKHOLM, November 20.—The horses of Sweden are rejoicing at the rise of the Red Star, an organization called the younger sister of the Red Cro which devotes itself to the welfare of beasts of burden, espe- cially horses. Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf is pa- tron of the soclety, which was start- ed by Swedish women during the war and did excellent field work in Fin- land. A nation-wide drive is now belng organized to popularize the movement- throughout Sweden, to | promote this humanitarian work dur- ing times of peace as well as to strengthen the organisation for serv. ice in case of war. Society women are especlally zealous, and the young | daughters of some of Sweden's most prominent familles count it an honor to be named a Red Star sister. Men and women who register have to learn everything about the horse. Red Star depots are heing estab- lished in numerous places, fully equipped with surgical instruments, medical supplies, and all the neces- sary apparatus for the care of sick and injured horses.

BY Radio to The Star. PARIS, December 20.—Why do wo- men dress? A French newspaper has opened ah inquiry into this subject, which is almost as old as Eve, and suggests four possible answers. One answer is that women dress for themselves. The second is that they dress for a man. A third possibllity is that they dress for men in general, and a fourth, that they dress against other women Premier Edouard Herriott himself, despite his fllness, has contributed| his brief ‘opinion to the symposium, as follows: I think women dress especialy, | and, perhape, exclusively, against his real opinion is until he has seen it in print and then, it it looks good, he adopts it and if 1t doesn’t, he simply declares he prefers to keep his opinions for himself alone.’ Maurice Donnay, the French acadé- miclan and playwright, who recently went on an official mission to the United States, says it is impossible to generalize. The 'refined woman dresses for herself, he says, the wom- an in love dresses for her lover, while others dress for othar people— sometimes for those they like and some times for the world In general. One soclety woman says she dresses in Winter for warmth and in Sum- mer—ifor decency.

Choose GROSS CORRUPTION SEENIN PORTO RICO Native Citizens’ Committee Petition Given to Coolidge With Plea to Act. Charging gross frauds, viclence and corruption in the last eclection, and that Porto Rico by maladministra- tion has been reduced to a state of bankruptey, a citizens' committee of natives has petitioned President Cool- idge, and is preparing to petition Congress, for an investigation, As the first move, Coll Cuchi, for- mer speaker of the Porto Rican House of Representatives, has protested to the President against the forthcom- ing issue of Porto Rican bonds. Da- tailed charges of the alleged election frauds are to be included in the memorial to Congress. The protest before the President deals mainly with the condition of the island’s |finances and alieged waste of public | money. Reviews Island’s Finances. The protest gives an accounting of the Island’s finances as far back as 1900 to show that millions of dollars {1n favorable trade balances have bee gradually reduced until in 1924 an un- favorable balance occurred for tle tirst time in 16 years. The protest- ants also assert that the [sland budget | was increased six million doilars In |the last two years compared with the previous blennial period, and that |for the first time in Porto Rico's his- (tory it was necessary, In order to balance the 1924 budget, to borrow $2,000,000 and draw upon the island’s trust fund for more than $900,000. ‘No bonds should be sold, no more {debts should be incurred by island,” the protest asserts, “u {our clalms are heard and investi- |gated.

The document questions the &ccu- racy of statements in the governor's annual report, which explains in- creases in the budgets for 1923 and 1924 as due to the fact that in 1922 no money was spent on public works, road extension or maintenance, nor were necessary public bulldings con- structed or necessary repairs made, This was termed by Mr. Cuchi a “mis- statement of the truth,” because he says, the road and public works of Porto Rico are not paid from the budget, but from separate appropria- tions and loan issue Some of the Iitems, the protest charges, were responsible for the in- creased budgets are $50,875 in 1923 and $74,150 in 1924 for upkesp of the governor's residences and offices; In- crease in salary of the governor's sec- retary from $2,500 to $4,500, the latter figure exceeding by 3500 the salary fixed for the executive secretary of the island In the organic act of Con- and $20,000 each for the er of the House and president of the Senate for purchase, operation and maintenance of an automobile.

By the Assoclated Provs. BOSTON, December 320.—1f United States enters the Permanent Court of International Justice in 19: its share of the expense will amount to not more than $35,000 according to figures prepared by the World Peace Foundation from copies of the budget Just received here. While the court’s budget is fixed by the court {tself, it is voted and paid in through the financlal admin- Istration of the League of Nations. The total budget by the financlal ad- ministration s 22,668,138 gold francs, or 34,871,963, and the court budget amounts to 1,908,209 gold francs, or $368.195, which is something more than 8 per cent of the total. The total budget of the league expenses for 1525 {s divided into 935 units of $4,675.90 each, the proportionate court share of each unit being $291.75. Assuming that the United States would pay a share equal to that o Great Britain, or 93 units, its quota for 1925 would amount to $34,473.70 As the entrance of the United States in the court would not add to the ex penses of that body, it is bellevad that the court budget would be re allocated on the basis of 1,023 unite of $360 each.
