i 14 WAR GAS CONTROL URGED IN GENEVA League Commission Would Seek Ban Through Aid of Manufacturers. (By Cable to The Star afd New York World.) GENEVA, Octob®r 9.—Strict control by the League of Nations over the world chemical industry and chemical manufacturers to eliminate the possi bility of poison gas waifare in the ture, is recommended in the report of the mixed commission of the League of Nations, charged with the study of economic and industrial units in preparatory disarmament | conference, The commission’s report, which will be divulged shortly, recommends that all states signing the treaty should have the privilege of calling attention of the League’s secretary general 1o alleged infringements of the anti-chem- {cal bacteriological clause, as well as other features in the proposed arma- ment treaty. While confirming itself chiefly to the industrial phase of reduced armament, the commission agreed that control is absolutely necessary to safeguard the intrests of the signatories and that the League should be made the vehi- cle of the control.

The committee points out the neces- sity for control because of the nature of the armament convention, which if violated, would endanger the peace of the entire world.

Furthermore, the States wpuld be pledged to suppress and prohibit subsidies, official or private, to lub- oratories engaged in the study of bacteriological chemical warfare as well as punish civilian or military aerial groups engaged in similar pur- sults. The finding of the commission, composed of A permanent staff of experts of the league, and the inter- natfonal labor office will be passed along to subcommittees of the disarmament conference for incorpora- tion in their reports to the plenary preparatory committee, While the conclusions by the mixed commission are contrary to the views repeatedly expressed by the Ameri- can_delegations, which have been unalterably opposed to all forms of international control, it is known that the Americans will not oppose the desire of the league members to make themselves amenable to such interference in their domestic affairs.

PARIS, October 9.—Queen Marle had her hair permanently waved today. For three and a half hours this | morning the Queen, who will leave for the United States on Tuesday, | submitted herself to the ministrations of the most noted of all Parlsian coif- | feurs—a_little man_with a shop just | off the Rue de la Palx whose hands ave helped to begutify more than one crowned head of Europe. When she returned to her suite at the Hotel Ritz, more than half an hour late for a luncheon engagement, the Queen was more or less the envy of all feminine eyes. Goes Early to Coiffeur. Queen Marie wds up early—as the hours arve counted in Paris—and by 10 o'clock this morning had entered the coiffeur’s shop at the Rue Daunou, cct which is known to American s mostly for several well known From then until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon her time was entirely devoted to having her golden bobbed hair set in a perma- nent wave. This afternoon the barber who waited on her majesty told a cor- our | respondent for the Assoclated Press all about her coiffure. “It's very chic. makes her look even younger than before. although her majesty never looked her age. It's a simple coiffure, parted slightly in the middle and brushed straight back on both sids It's something between a shingle and a bob. From now on her hair will wave back from the forehead to a close crop in the neck. Above the ears there are a few puffy little curls and there are small pointed arcs drop- ping from the temples to the top tip of the cheek bones.” Princess Follows Suit. The Queen s so pleased with the results of her visit this morning, that she per: Tleana, to have a permanent wave put in her dark bobbed locks this after- Roon. While the Associated Press cor- respondent was talking with the coiffeur the latter said: “The princess he said, “and uaded her daughter, Princes: | to Par THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Queen Marie was quite excited over her permanent wave. When A. G. Booth of the United Hotels Company called this afternoon to offer her the hospitality of his string of hostelries | during her American tour, she de- | voted most of her conversation with | him to her experiences at the coif- feurs, The Queen’s retinue expected her to remain away only half an hour, and the fact that she took three hours and a half to attend to her hair up- set the entire day’'s program. All of her attendants seemed unable to calm themselves long enough to relate just what had filled up her majes gram over the week end. T herself was the calmest of a seemed to feel almost girlish satisfac | tion at having done something tha {not every woman of her age—she is Imost 51—would dare to do. Calls on Countryman. She lunched with some {riends after her return from the coiffeur's and then received a delegation of dressmakers for some fittings. After- ward she again demonstrated her flair for knowing “the nice thing to do” in the way of encouraging those of her own Rumanian people who are living abroad. She called on a Rumanian singer who is conducting a school for young ladies who come from all corners of the world to study. The Queen dined quietly in her suite this evening and then, for the fifth night in succession, went to the theater, her choice being Edouard Bourdan's “The Rubicon.”” Raids 10 Minutes Apart Made on Shoe Shine Shop Twice within a period of 10 minutes yesterday, a shoe shining and_clothes-pressing establishment at 625 G street was raided by two different law enforcement bodies, each acting without knowledge of the other’s plans. Detectives Dowd, Boxwell and Flaherty of the sixth precinct swooped down on the premises and arrested Howard H. Taylor and Ralph R. Jefferson, both colored, on charges of alleged sale and pos- session of liquor. Not to be outdone by the detec- tives, the regular liquor enforce- ment squad, on finding that it had been beaten at its own game, took charge of a young colored man working in the place and held him for questioning, although he pre- viously had been quizzed by the precinct detectives.

A change in the location of a car stop at Fourteenth and U streets sev- eral years ago marked the beginning of a sequence of worries for Nicholas Levintakis, a Greek fruit dealer, which resulted tragically for him Fri- day when the District Supreme Court committed him to St. Elizabeth’s Hos- pital, it was revealed yesterday by William H. Wahly, assistant corpora- tion counsel. Alienists said Levin- takis was suffering from mental trou- ble induced by business worries, coupled with his futile efforts to per- suade immigration officials to admit his two children from Greece. Ever since the Public Utilities Com- wmission ordered a change in the car stop Levintakis never relaxed in his attempt to have it restored to i former location, and when his pleas fell on deat ears he sought legal as- sistance. By a s coincidence the Utilitles Commisgion rejected his latest plea Friday afternoon just b fore his commitment to St. Eliza- beth’s. The Greek conducted a frult store at 1408 U street and did a thriving business with pérsons transferring e car line to another. Whe the near side car stop was abolished the loading platform was remove from the front of his store and busi- ness dropped sharply. It was then of his serles of complaints to the Utilities Commis- sion. Beside the car stop matter Mr. Wahly who represented the District at_the hearing on Levintakls, sanity, said that several other things also con- tributed to the fruit dealer's worries— the fact that the traffic regulations prohibited parking in front of his store, the maintenace on the side- walk before his door of a repair box by the Capital Traction Co., and the refusal of the immigration authorities to admit his two children.

PARIS, October 9.—Queen Marie of Rumania, who is scheduled to leave for the United States on Tuesday aboard the Leviathan—a dry ship—has no intention of of- fending the American prohibition laws during her voyage. Discreet inquiries made today as to what the queen would like in the way of beverages during the voyage, brought the following reply: “I don’t care for wine myself. Neither Princess Ileana nor Prince Nicholas drinks it. If you provide us with plenty of tea and lime juice, we wiil be very well satisfied.” FILM FANS IN BRITAIN HAVE CAUSE TO REJOICE By the Associated Press.

FREEDOM TREES CALL D. C. VISITORS Memorials to 13 Original States to Be Planted at Philadelphia Tomorrow. A host of representatives of patri- otic socleties will gather in Indefend- ence Square, Philadelphia, tomorrow to plant there, at the birthplace of liberty, 13 trees as living memorials of the 13 original colonies. The governors of the 13 original States or their official representatives will attend, and each will plant the tree named for his State, in soil from the State. The state regent, Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, will place a_bronze nameplate on each tree, and agree to care for the tree as long as it stands. Maj. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and public parks of Quigg, national commander of . the American Legion, will deliver Rudolph to Attend. Among those who will attend from Washington will be Commissioner Rudolph and Gen. Amos A. Fries, de- partment commander of the American Leglon . Mrs. J. Willis Martin, founder of the Garden Clubs of America, was one of the first to indorse the move- ment and, in commenting upon the scope it has attained, related that, after the Revolution. Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton each planted 13 trees to commemorate the original colonies. Of those 39 trees only one is {living today, and that one, Mrs. Mar- tin said, probably owes its life to M H. H. Smith of Fredericksburg.

NEW PHONE EXCHANGE NAMED FOR POET POPE Twickenham, in London Suburbs, Also Home District of Turner, Fielding and Others. By the Associated Pres: LONDON, October 9.—In opening a new telephone exchange at Twicken- ham in the London suburbs, the post office authorities made what is gene- rally conceded to be a happy and ap- propriate selection in the name.
