RURAL GIRLS SEEN ADVENTURE LOVERS Many Come to City in Search of Excitement. Woman's Alliance Claims. That alxuit half flip country girls *ho come to the city to work, do so in »i spirit of adventure and the other half because of economic pressure, were conclusions reached during a two dav study of the problems of rural Kiris by the Southern Woman's Edu cational Alliance, which concluded its meeting at the Mayflower Hotel yes terday. The rural districts, the al liance found, cannot support the large number of gills who want to work. Country girls who have been pent tip most of their lives go further in felf expression, the alliance found, than do those who have liver! in the ■comparative freedom of the city Ex amples were given of country girls who have left home on long walking trips and similar excursions to sat isfy the lust for adventure The al liance. it was pointed mil, has sought CYDE J NICHOLS.

October 29.—1 tis a curious | coincidence that three Eurniiean dic tatorships are celebrating their anni | versaries about tlie same time, with ; noise and record speeches. ! Soviet Russia has just celebrated tiie tenth anniversary of the bolshevist 'revolution of October. 1917; fascism is Italy in commemorating for the fifth |’irne the, “March on Rome", and Finally at Angora, at the People's Party Congress, Mustapha lvenial Pasha, speaking for 3rt hours eon secutively. explained the results of his policy since his arrival at Sam soun on May 19. Ril9. I nliiinwn Eew Years Ago. Bolshevism fascism and kemnlism ' were unknown a fi-vv years ago. Mow ! they are much talked of. And what | is most curious, despite the great dis | ferenee in (lie three governmental I systems, it is easy to find common j characteristics. I 'All three originated in revolt or desperate reaction. Bolshevism was the explosion of a furious grudge against exorbitant tyranny. After the example <>f 1793. the Russian terrorists dreamed of forcing their social ex periment on the world. But they soon perceived thev were a century too * late, and that the world offered re- ; ; sistanee. They then limited their i studies to their own unfortunate conn | try. inflicting on it an economic strur tore which defies all the conceptions pf human society. Kemnlism originally was a violent revolt of patriotism. The Turks, guilty of joining the Central powers, were to be driven back into Asia. One man took up the challenge and es | raped with a handful of followers with no other object, seemingly, than that of never submitting to the n.a tional humiliation which the Constan- j tinople government had accepted. As to fascism, it arose from the j threatening disintegration of the coon-; I try under communism, parliamentary j impotence and govermentnl weakness. ■ Three systems, three men, Lenin., Kemal. Mussolini. • 1 Neither of these leaders at the he- j ginning seemed likely to succeed and j remain in power. For years the im- j minent fall of the bolshevists was pre-, ! dieted. The cleverest business men j were deceived. Rut Lenin still dom inates the Czar's empire from within I his glass coffin. K‘»mal at first was only an outlaw. Mussolini’s experiment seemed doomed not to last. Yet the three regimes have taken | I root and amidst the praises heaped on ! ! themselves, one at least is merited | their stability. History will judge j i their works. In a vast country like Russia, where i j time and distance must he multiplied ] by ten, nobody can foresee the conse-i i quenoes of the agrarian revolution - ■ ; VyJtich has given the land to ihe ; Moujiks. Progress Is Indicated. | Kemal, for his part, is advancing hy leaps, and wants to make a modern nation of the country whose inde pendence lie saved. Women have be come free and there has been extraor dinary progress from ancestral cus toms. Finally. Mussolini, haunted by Ns- j poleon's example and the souvenirs of j ancient Rome, glorifies patriotism t ; among his contemporaries as well as j ; the desire for economic and even terri- j : torial expansion. Like Wilhelm II j J and his theatrical manifestation of j 1905, Mussolini has just sent men of war to Tangier, which docs not sim- j plify the negotiations regarding this ! delicate problem. Three men, three dictatorships—all at heart military and sacrificing indi i vidua! liberty to uncontrolled state an- | I thority. What will be their final re j ; action on parliamentary liberalism.’! What new hotbeds of agitation will re- i suit from these still unstable regimes, j which can scarcely he expected to last j i whole century? What evolution do j they foreshadow, < r what conflicts will they engender?

By the Associated Pre««. NEW YORK. October 20.—A pos-j sible clue in the .‘•tipnosed murder *>f j Or. Jacob Gross, dentist, was uncov- 1 erod today in court records showing [ the dentist had been charged in 19:>2 j with being the father of the child of » ! young woman living near his office, j police said. Gross, who was shot to death yes- j terday in his Columbia avenue office, was exonerated of the 1322 charge. ! their records showed Police believed j that his acquittal may have created i lasting enmities and led to his murder. Detectives were looking today for ( the women and others whose names l appeared in the court records. Those ! records, and a soiled gray cao found j in the dentist’s office, were the only i tangible bits of evidence they had to ! solve the mystery of the shooting. Gross is believed to have been slain j by a patient who sat in his operating i chair. A marked dentai chart and a j small dental mirror clutched in tne : dead man's hands were the fourda- * tions of that theory. ARMED ROBBERS GET S3O !

I clean up'' of Paris, which was started I I jusf before the Legion convention last j month, is being continued with even j j greater rigor now that the Legion .lias i departed. Many people are wondering whether ! the traditional "gayety" of the French j capital is not already a tiling of the ; past. M. Jean f'hiappe, who was appoint ed prefect of police less than a year ago, lias little by little brought about almost a complete shake-up in the Police Department, with the result ! that mtK'li of tiie corruption has dis j appeared, and with it a great part of I the viciousness which formerly cliar j acterized sections of the city. | Orders issued in August and Sep ! temher abolishing street walking on j the boulevards and other main thor oughfares were thought to be merely temporary, designed to create a favor | able impression during the Legion con vention and prevent needless complica tions during the stay of the Legion naires. But to the surprise of every body they have been maintained in ! force with a rigid hand, so that today j ilie "grande boulevards” between the i opera, and the Madeleine are aS re ! snocjable as the aristocratic "Avenue ■ du Buis do Boulogne.” * Foreigners Registered. Another direction in which M. ii'hiappe lias been extremely active is j in ridding the city of undesirable for j signers. The laws providing for regis j (ration of foreigners had never liepn 'strictly enforced up to the time of M. Ghiappe's appointment, and it is esti ! mated that as many as 50,000 foreign j ers were living in Paris without hav i ing taken out identity cards, j Most of these could he classed as I 'undesirables” and a very large per i centage, according to the police, were j engaged in catering to visitors who ! came to Paris in search of illicit ! amusements. Some were interna | tional crooks of all sorts, some were j “guides.” others dea'.t in obscene pic | tures, and the rest were engaged in j various branches of the "amusement'-’ j business. M. Chiappe undertook a program of rsystematic raids on the thousands of j small hotels and rooming houses in | the poorer parts of the city, where j such characters chiefly reside. Every j night for the past two months a nuni ! her of these establishments have been { visited and the occupants required to i give an account of themselves. Each I raid has brought a considerable bag of I unregistered aliens, who have prompt ly been conducted to the frontier. Corruption Revealed. i But more than this, action has been ! j taken against the hotel and lodging j house keepers for failing to comply i with the regulations which require j all such visitors to be reported to the j police. Tn several instances it was ! found that police commissionares or | their subordinates had been cor j rupted. The consequence is that ! hotel keepers are now on their good I behavior. It is extremely difficult at j present for an unregistered alien ta I get lodgings, and the police estimate | that large numbers of foreigners have ! left the country voluntarily. | Naturally the dives and night j joints have hot been overlooked by j M. Chiappe's keen Corsican eye, and i there is a widespread discontent j among keepers of such places, who complain that business is being ruined !by an excess of surveillance. But the ! energetic prefect is not deterred, and I while it is not likely that he will ever j reduce Paris to the gloomy respecta bility of London, nevertheless it ap ■j nears certain that from now on Its i reputation for unlimited merrymaking j will decline.
