ST SEAS BXLE AWAITS RIFF CHIEF Island of Reunion, Where " Krim Must Spend Life, Offers Many Lures. Abd-el-Krim, for two years de- fender of the Riff against the armies of Spain and later against France, is to be exiled. News from Paris puts the Island of Reunion in‘the limelight as the future permanent home of the Moroccan insurgent. “France carries a full stock of {slands usable for exiles,” says a bul- letin from the National Geographic [, Society. ‘‘Madagascar was first sug- gested for Krim, but the weight of decision falls 400 miles southeast of Madagascar, on Reunion. 4 “ “What good exile islands have you nowadays? one may" imagine the French minister of war phoning the minister of colonies. “*Some very good ones, indeed,’ the colonial minister certainly could re- ply. “There’s Devil's Island in ¥rench Guiana for criminals, and then there's New Caledonia, away out in the Pacific, a soothing paradise -of the South Seas. How about Mada- r? Lots of room on Madagas- car. Splendidly situated near the Hquator. Or Reunion! There's a per- fect retreat for political exiles. Forty- eight miles long and 24 miles wide; 2 volcanoes, and only 107 vessels dock each year.' 7,500 Miles Away. “Abd-el Krim is quite familiar with Europe. It may subtract from the inconvenience of exile for him to be set down In an island predominantly Furopean. To be sure, the Reunion- ers are not as purely Caucasian as the British and Dutch of South Africa. Still, 167,000 of the popula- tion of 172,000 are classed as Euro- peans. Indeed, Reunion is a depart- ment of France. The commonly ac- ' . cepted departments of France are within 380 miles of Paris. Reunion is 7,500 miles by steamer and train from Paris. But who is to say it is not a department? In the House of Deputies in Paris, corresponding to the American House of Representa- tives, sit two duly elected delegates from Reunion. In the Senate is a Reunion senator. -“Even the names Reunion has taken foym time to time show its intimate link with Europe. Like a lady fair in days of old when knight and- lady wore ribbons of the same color, Re- union has changed its name with the Tign of new political conquerors on the | ntinent. Mascarenhas was its first néme, in honor of a Portuguese dis- O(Perel‘ who sailed when Portugal was a'first-rate power. Louis XIII was in aseendant In 1643 when Flacourt clalmed it for France, so it became Bourbon Island. That name was im- possible to the revolutionists. The island therefore became Reunion until ‘ mpew ‘knight’ arose in Europe, when it.became Ile Bonaparte. Since 1843 Reunion has been the official name. . Layers of Reunion “Cake.” MConditions, geographical, climatic and industrial, have changed less fre- quently than the island’s name. Re- uplon, ever since its settlement, has been a sort of agricultural five-layer cake. The shore level is marked by the gardens of the ring of towns. Next comes a sweet. layer; the sugar-cane beit. Then a dark green layer of forests. . Fourth is the plateau region, where European vegetables can be . The fifth layer is the brown of the volcanic peaks. Only occa- sionally is Reunion ‘cake’ frosted with white snow, because the warm sea all about tempers the climate. “If Mr. Krim cares to examine a slice of Reunion he will find it ‘sugar and spice and everything nice.’ The ségond layer, as mentioned above, is mestly sugar. Sugar and one of its progeny, rum, are the chief exports of the island, and during the World War 4t “profited and perhaps profiteered on jgar. In the spice line Reunion of- e cloves, And thereby hangs a . #Our medieval ancestors ldved to eat. Where the 20th century spends its ‘surplus on six cylinders, the 15th century spent its pin money on its palate. Its idea of a square meal was red meat well seasoned. Seasoned well did not mean a pinch of salt and a:dash of pepper. Our forebears dosed pepper on their meat and . stuck it full of cloves. Spice Islands owthe Moluccas in the tangled straits oFthe East Indies were found to be the native habitat of cloves. The joy with which the Portuguese greeted this discovery could only be equaled today by the burst of a Texas gusher oil well. They tried to keep their find a ' treasured secret. But the Dutch, ‘who came into ascendancy, restricted cloves to Amboyna Island and ordered their navy to'destroy all other cloves trees in every place. In the face of death at the hands of the Dutch, & man named Poivre introduced the clove tree to Reunion and neighboring uritius, thus emancipating Europe ./ from the Dutch monopoly. Geranium Town. #Many orchards of clove trees with their shiny evergreen leaves can be seen on Reunion. The clove buds are in clusters. First they are green, then they turn a brilliant red, when they are ready to be picked. “Another specialty from which Re- union profits is vanilla. . The produc- tion of vanilla orchid beans Reunion shares with the Seyhelles to the north and with Mexico. 3 *There are three towns on Reunion ‘with a population of more than 18,000 ~—8t. Denis, St. Plerre and St. Paul. If Abd-el-Krim is given his choice, St. Pierre would appear to be the most attractive for a permanent residence. 1t is the center of the island’s trade in essence of geranium. The flower that decorates our houses and rdens is a commercial product . What a prospect. A life sioned ease on a tropical isle amid acpes of geraniums.” DRIVES 20-HORSE TEAM.

Special Dispatch to The Star, DENVER; July 17.—A quiet little group of efficient women lawyers took their seats in the forty-ninth an- nual conveéntion of the staid old Ameri- can Bar Association in Denver this week, and things promptly started to happen. Long-cherished hopes for judicial and legislative reform In America began to take form. Not that the women delegates bru- tally seized leadership and direction of the convention proceedings. The impassioned speeches ealling for the striking of shackles from American courts, for a return to the ancient practice of punishing criminals rather than publicly lonizing them and for a standardization of laws that ywould make America an homogeneous nation came from male legal luminaries of international repute. ~But the little feminine group played the traditional role of woman. They inspired, they looked on admiringly, they applauded performance—and behind the stage, before the great convention came to order,) they had performed much of the actual work. Judge in Yellow and Pink. * It would not be accurate to say that the woman lawyers furnished the note of color at the convention. That was done by famous lawyers, great states- men and decorous judges, liberated for a brief while from the inhibitions posed by their high positions. There were many mighty judges sporting spiffy costumes. One wore a bright yellow palm beach suit, a 'gorgeous green scarf and the pinkest shirt ever seen in Denver. And there was the honorable Ham Lewis of Illinois, whose sartorial perfection and pink whiskers brought many an admiring gasp from the men of these great open spaces where women are governors and men are prohibitionists. As for the women lawyers, they were quietly dressed in conventional professional garb; serious of mien, and attractive with their bobbed hair. Supreme Court Justice Florence E. Allen’ of Ohio was the center of an ever-changing circle. Not so many years ago Judge Allen took her fresh, new sheepskin to the office of a dis- tinguished lawyer and sought work. Pointing to a light snowfall outdoors, ‘the courtly old gentleman said: “Miss Allen, it would be painful for me to have a woman in my office, because I should not like to send her even to the courthouse on a day like this.” Then there is Mary Lathrop, dis- tinguished Denver ~attorney, who NATURAL SOLUTION SEEN IN RADIO MESS Commerce Department Expeocts Stations to Realize Futility of Crowding Wave Lengths. By the Associated Press. Commerce Department officials re- iterated yesterday that radio stations take advantage at their own risk of the present unre, status of broadcasting machinery by increasing their power and normal wavelength requirements. . They asserted that the ‘success of broadcasting, pending enactment of regulatory legislation, depends en<} tirely on the station managers co-oper- ating with each other to avoid inter- ference. % # Commenting on reports from New York* that six stations there. have changed to new wave lengths or in- dicated their intention to do so, offi- clals said they did not expect any lasting serious confusion to. result from such changes, because station owners soon would realize that suc- cessful broadcasting would be futile under such conditions. They added that the ‘problem ap- parently 1d work itself out, a that until better receptive conditions arrive and the usual Summer. inter- ference is over they would not be in a position to determine the extent of the confusion that would result from a.universal switching to favored bands below 600 meters. ACCUSES RACE OFFICIALS. | i Rit" Better ent “League Head at Chicago Gets Warrants. 30, July 17 (#.—~The Rev. CHICAGO, July it talion of the 16th Field Artillery lli} rary abandoned newspaper work in 1896 to become a lawyer, and who had to pester the American Bar Assoclation until 1918 before she hgd the honor of being the first woman admitted to that august body. And the beautiful young lady found taking tea at the ‘Woman’s Press Club was none other than Florence Douglass of Atlanta. daughter of a lawyer father and a lawyer mother. ““When I openéd my office in At- lanta,” she said, “I had just $18.59 to my name. I set my jaw and went to work. I've found no trouble In paying my way ever since, and I'm teaching in the law school of Atlanta a class of 68 men and 2 women."” At play, Judge Mary B. Grossman of the Cleveland Police Court, dressed in a violet crepe frock and a white hat, refused to look judicial, but she had a hopeful word about modern youth. § “Our young -people of today,” she laughed, *“are merely talking about things that formerly were taboo. They are facing the facts of life squarely with’sane ‘éyes. I believe in the inherent goodness of American youth.” Judge Mary O'Toole Speaks. Judge Mary O'Toole of the Wash- ington Municipal Court admitted she liked her job, and advised other wom- an lawyers to listen to the whispérings of opportunity in that direction. A similar liking for her work was ex- pressed by Mrs. Anita Robbins, as- sistant, public prosecptor of Los An- geles—a delicate blonde, essentially feminine, who admitted she did not like to prosecute, but preférred more constructive ways of dealing with wayward girls and children. An ontstanding figure at the con- véntion was Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney Gen- eral of the United States, who sas elected honorary president of the Phi Delta Deltas, national fraternity of woman lawyers. Judge Edith Me- serve Atkinson of the Dade County, Fla., Juvenile Court, was named na- tional president. State Senator Reba J. Hurn of Spokane, Wash., also attracted mucn attention. Miss Hurn has tried her hand at making laws and found laws wanting as a cureall for social ills. “There are attempts to put over changes by law which really should be preceded by years of education,” she said. And that appeared to be the attitude of nearly all the distin- guished woman ‘lawyers and officials who came here. (Copyright. 1926.)
