WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1924. FRENCH DETECTIVE CHASES THIEF HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD AND CAPTURES HIM IN JUNGLE Paris, Sept. 24.—This is the story of a Paris detective who traveled half way around the world for his quarry, And finally, in the dense jungle of Annam, threw aside his disguise and arrested his man, who is now doing three years in jail. As related here, an antiquary named Malraux was under the ob servance of the Paris police, sus pected of being responsible for some recent thefts from French museums. It was thought he had designs on collections of antiques in one if the French provinces, and as a matter of routine a detective was assigned to trail Malraux and a companion wherever they might The pair went to a seaport and there took passage on steamer for Saigon, French Indo-Chiaa, and the detective went along on the same vessel. He did not even have time te buy • change of clothing, but .made friends among the crew and borrowed what he needed. ■ 4 Pose As Rich Traders. At Saigon Malraux and his friend posed as rich travelers anxious to see the country, while the detec tive sleuthed around in the back ground. He had ; however, mad* known his mission to the local French authorities, and when Mal raux asked for guides to the re- mote districts of Annam the detec „ *» tive was among the natives assign ed, but cleverly disguised. The party scoured the region of Angkor, rich in holy relics and fine specimens of old Chinese art, and Malraux and his companion bought freely. Also they did not hesitate, conditions being favorable, to bur glarize Annamite temples for par ticularly fine specimens. The border of Siam was not far away, and the collectors, having # decided to leave the country by that route, called up the native guides and dismissed them. Then the Par is detective had his day. The hum ble disguise was cast aside, the French policeman stepped out, and Malraux and his friend was placed under arrest. The case was tried at Phom penh, Cochin China and Malraux had bo defense. It came out dur ing the trial that his antiques were destined for a New York antiquary and were worth 1,000,000 francs. i IS IT A SUCCESS? i m “Civilisation Is a success.

When going abroad many Lon don women carry a special kind of clippers which enables their maids to attend to any stray wisp of hair which needs cutting. Moslem Women Demand Removal of Veil; Want Freedom; Willing to Pay For It Jerusalem, Sept. 24.—The stubborn conservatism of the Mohammedan custom with regard to the social iso lation of the women in Palestine may soon give way before the move ment launched by Arab .feminists for the removal of the veil. The Holy Land, backward in many re spects, is behind such Moslem coun tries as Turkey and Egypt in break ing the shackles holding the women in seclusion. The movement for the enfran chisement of Moslem women in Pal estine is of recent origin and is traceable to the influx of people from the west, especially Jewish im migrants coming to settle in their national home. As the first step toward their emancipation the women demand ec clesiastical sanction for the removal of the dark veil from their faces. If such flying in the face of age long custom does not win official approval, some of the leading Arab women of Palestine are determined to do what their Moslem sisters did New Mexico Seeks to Revive Indian Art at 212th Anniversary of Santa Fe Fiesta Santa Fe., N, M., Sept, 24—Dan of losing to the world the price less heritage of distinctive Indian art and handicraft gave the impulse for the Southwest Indian Fair and Industrial Arts and Crafts Exhibi tion, held here in connection with the annual Santa Fe Fiesta. This was the 212th anniversary of the fiesta and the second amtoiri South west Indian Fair.

The ban on the public appearance of women has retarded the develop ment of the Arab drama, and it is the hope of the feminists that the admittance of Moslem women to the theatrical stage will follow the re moval of the veil. Arab women of Palestine are keen not only on social emancipation but on participation in politics. u Take us out of our insulting seclu sion and remove from our faces the offensive black cloth, give us our oportunity as free members of a free people, granting us the right to fight with you for our national pearing recently in an Arab lan ideals,” says in part an appeal ap guage newspaper in Haifa. “Then we shall In gratitude sac rifice our jewels, delivering up our gold and precious stones for the establishment of the Arab National Bank.” tribe and puebld; the establishment of markets for all Indian products and the securing of reasonable prices; authentication of all handi craft offered for sale and protection to the Indian in his business deal ings, are objects of the movement. That there is actual danger of los ing this art of the redman unless something is done to keep it alive ia evidenced by the fact that for a good many years there has been a steady drift on the part of the Indians to ward agriculture and mechanical arts, on account of better and quick er financial returns. Besides their art worl^ the Indians many of whom still live as did their forefathers in puebloa near Santa Fe, will contribute their ceremonial dances to the entertainment at the fiesta.
