BOSTON, November 18.—Charles Ponzi, one-time financial wizard, yes- terday. served notice of a new legal battle to prevent his return from Texas to Massachusetts to serve a prison sentence as & ‘common and notorious thief.” s The attorney general's office here was notified that Ponzi, who is de- tained at Houston, Tex., had applied for a rehearing of a habeas corpus petition which previously was denied. Two weeks ago the Criminal Court of Appeals in Texas upheld the action of a district court denying Ponzi's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Ponzi then was given 15 days to file an _application for rehearing. The court set Wednesday, Decem- ber 1, as the date for the hearing of the application. It was said that if Ponzi’'s motion is dismissed his only remaining recourse will be to the United States Supreme Court. ATWATER KENT Radio Sets Plus “Grove” Service Guarantee Satisfaction Harry C.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 13.—The Paris Municipal Counecil is confronted with a proposal emanating from a Com- munist councilor asking the suppres- sion, in all gifts of toys made by the city to poor children in the schools of such articles as rifles, cannon, pis- tols, army caps and tin or lead sol- diers. Thus the minds of the French youth will not be directed toward thoughts of war, the motion says, but trained in the spirit of peace. For once a Communist proposal is likely to be accepted by the City Council, it hav- ing met with general favor. The second part of the motion, sug- gesting that the soldiers be replaced by hammers and sickles—the Soviet emblem—will probably have to stand severer knocks and may be cut out altogether. . —_— r'leas are more troublesome in rainy seasons. Wife Turns Hubby’s ‘Don’t Trust’ Notice Into a Merry Joke By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 18.—A do- mestic drama, in which the wife gave her husband a merry laugh, enacted itself in the want.ad sec- tion of the Kalkberge vilage daily, near Berlin. The paper printed the folowing not unusual notice: “I warn my friends not to lend my wife any money. I will not be responsible for her debts.—Fritz ‘Woratscheck. The next day the wife replied in the same columns: “‘Dear Fritz—Don’t worry. I have borrowed enough. All you have to do is pay the bills.—Helene Worat- scheck.” e I . Camouflaged Ankles. From the Ohio State Journal. Traveling investigators claim the English women have notoriously fat ankles, even the young woman losing all beauty lines on that portion of her anatomy early in life if, indeed, she ever had that treasure in her posses- sion. So an inventive designer over there has brought out camouflaged hose, the clever feature of the World ‘War being used to help the English- woman make her ankles appear to be less huge and unwieldy than they real- ly are, and the wise inventor claims. with confidence in his advertising, his new hose will make the fattest ankle appear trim, sylphlike and graceful. The art of camouflage is wrought by hand-painted shadows on either side of the ankle, making longitude ap- pear pronounced while breadth of beam is made to appear less than it really is. >Do ~lovers ung overs for every dog ailment.
