DEBT BANK PARLEY CLOSE IS DELAYED Committee Expects to Adjourn After November 10, Instead of First of Month. By the Associated Press. BADEN-BADEN, Germany, October 22—Hopes of the American delegation that the conference for organizing the Bank for International Settlements might end by November 1 were aban- doped yesterday, and it seemed likely that the committee of bankers, which began its work October 3, would be in segsion here until November 10. ‘We probably shall sit until Novem- 10,” Melvin Traylor, president of tbf First National Bank of Chicago, sald after a session of the trust agree- ment subcommittee. Mr. Traylor, who is|chairman of the subcommittee, in- cidentally was felicitated by the repre- sentatives of the seven nations attend- ing the conference on his fifty-first birthday. An Italian expert thought it more probable that the sessions would last until Christmas. Plerre Quesnay of France, meeting the correspondents in the absenice of Mr. Layton of the British delegation, who is conferring with his government in Lon- don, virtually admitted that the point had been reached in the. bankers’ work ‘where banking no longer could be sepa- Tated from politics. ‘The trust agreement, which was dis- cussed in subcommittte, involves mot only repaartions, but aiso inter-allied debts, since certain creditor nations, especially France, want the method and frequency of German payments dove-talled into the system of allled <debt payments, FILM COWBOY IS HELD. Art Acord and 2 Women Charged With Assaulting Taxi Driver, LOS ANGELES, October 22 (#)—Art Acord, film cowboy, and two women, one of whom said she was Mrs. Acord, were at liberty under bond here today after arraignment on a charge of assaulting a taxicab driver. A charge of liquor possession also was filed against Acord. Acord and his companions were taken into custody after the cab driver, Milton Moore, reported the film man beat him ‘when he asked for his fare. The second woman in the case gave her name as Maflrtlon Morrell. All three pleaded not guilty. SUFFERED CONSTANT TORTURE “Finally my doctor sug- gestedthatltryapairof Ground Gripper shoes. Now my foot troubles are over, Fallen arches were the cause of my misery.” Flat foot How foolish it is to permit poorly designed shoes to cripple our feet and limit our activities | Foottroubles are so needless; shoes combining the three correct princi- ples eliminate them. Ground Gripper shoes bring com- fort to tender, aching feet...quickly and unfailingly. For they relieve WoopwARD & LoTHROP A¥D G STRzzve To achieve the new silhouette you must wear Foundation Garments Indeed, foundation garments play a most important role in fashions of the day, for they have pledged allegiance to the new silhouette—to support the new princesse lines. Even the slimmest need the comforting assurance that their foundation garment is perfect fitting, smooth and slender—their frock is smart. And, of course, one may be as free as one wishes, for many foundation garments are without a single bone —agentle but firm.

SPECIAL S1zE APPAREL, THIRD FLOOR, Gala Costumes Add to the Gayety of Halloween The justly famous ‘saying, “Be yourself,” is cast to the winds on Halloween, for every one decides to be any one but themselves— and bold pirates, gay gypsies, demure lassies and funny clowns are the order of the evening.
