PAOE FIVE GIRL'S CHARACTER REVEALED BY LEGS SAYS DANCE CHIEF Maids With Long Knees Most Affectionate, Con stant Is Word to Young Men Looking for Wife By Homer McCoy. HOLLYWOOD. Calif.. June 33 (AP) A smart and cautloiu man has very right to study the legs of the fltla he intends to marry Leroy Prina, film dance director declared totfay. He Is entitled to do it, Prlnz ex pltined, because girl's legs reveal a lot about her character. PnnaB, In his professional work, has been compelled to make a through study of feminine underpinnings and he feels he Is very familiar with the subject. Long Knees Best. If you are looking for a wife, he prescribed, select a girl with long knees she will be affectionate and constant, prinw did not bother to ex plain why this should be, but he con tinued to cover the field exhaustive ly. 1 "I can tell a, girl's character, not only by her legs, but by ber walk," he said. "I learn a great deal by watching their locomotion. "Intelligent girls lift their legs high when walking. Those possessing confidence Indicate it by their free, forceful carriage. v,"0n the other hand, seif-consc.ous giJla nT.ye easily picked out cf a line, they invariably walk with tim idity. They cross 'ne stage mincing -ly, with short, uncertain steps. "Girls with firm knees and tiff legs are always of firm disposition, while the careless girl Is easily read by an expert who watches her dr. nee a, few minutes. Uneven and slipshod steps furnish the clue. Round Knees Talented "Round knees indicate an artistic temperament and talent, while fleshy knees mean that their possessors are lazy. They will always be lagging be hind. ' Knees that point outward reflect clumsiness, while hollow knees are a sure sign that a girl is truly femi nine. "Hard knees that appear sharp when the calves are flexed tell plain enough that the owner la cruel end Inclined to be quarrelsome. "Plumpness, on the contrary. In dicates a good disposition." - Pew men, Prinz admitted, are in ao strategic a position as a movie dance director to avail himself of this pro found and acientiue study. :.'

Although loath to disclose how he has obtained these results, the inventor, a 31-year old amateur. Ubaldo Magnaghi, declared that the spectroscope effects have been ob tained solely by the use of filters. At a private projection of his films, at which news writers were present, the audience saw that he had succeeded In getting three-dimensional effects, not only of still life, but from moving objects an Well; giving s realistic quality to the subjects not hitherto seen on the screen. The results were all the more striking because Lois Lumlere. the Frenchman who lays claim to hav ing Invented motion pictures, has been working on this Idea for a score of years and has failed. Lu mlere has succeeded In showing pic tures with depth, but the spectator Is obliged to wear a pair of colored spectacles, each lens of a different color. Magnaghi's spectroscope pic tures appeared more effective, how ever, and did not require any spec tacles. Magnaghi is a veteran with a camera. He has been taking still and motion pictures for more than 13 years, although he has never r; worked on ordinary size films. He not only takes the shots, but does the developing and cutting as well, and has obtained striking results. Magnaghi said that he produced RAW FATHER SHOT BY 12-YEAR-OLD SON PORT ANGELES. June 23.

A his first spectroscopic films about three years ago, but only after year of experimentation. He added that three -dimension films are possible commercially, ending the long search of cameramen for depth and greater realism in films. Working solely on 16-mlllimeter films, Magnaghi managed to carry away three amateur first prizes in the Venice biennial for his striking photographic effects, unusual details and angles and out-of-the -ordinary shots. One M the winners was his film of Edgar Allen Foe's gruesome "The Case of Valdemar." The decompo sition of a human head takes place before- the carqera after the sub ject Is released from a two-year hypnosis which kept him from dy ing. Death, cheated for two years, catches up on lost time and the decomposition that set In leaves only a skeleton In the space of a few minutes. Magnaghi Is a native of Milan, where amateur photography Is at It best In Italy. He feels he could con tribute something to the Italian film Industry, which Is going through a slow reawakening.

(AP) Dr. James Rowland Angell of Yale said Tue day that liberty and democracy In the United StAtes are in danger despite the "dogmatic as surance" to the contrary of "political msdlcal men." The retiring president of the unl veislty cautioned also in his prepared address again it winding up with a "bastard democracy." It was Dr. Angell's final speech as head of Yale before the graduating classes of Yale college, the Sheffield scientific school and the school of en gineering. Hits "Pressure Groups.' He attacked what he termed the "pressure group" which he blamed for sit-down strides, among other ac tivities. Dr. Angell also asserted that freedom is menaced by many forms besides the dictator, and said that "tyranny is not less tyranny when exercised by a dictator, or an Irresponsible government bureau, or a less responsible labor boss, than wien imposed by an economic roy alist." Using the "Integrity and Independ ence of the courts" as the main ba sis for his warning of danger to freedom and 'lemocracy. Dr. Angelt asserted : Assurances Discounted. "One would like to accept at their face value the dogmatic Assurances of our political mecUcine men that neith er liberty nor democracy are In peril in our land. To be sure. If one con ceives democracy as a system that ac cords to numerical majorities, no mat te, how slender, the right to exercise urlimited powers, then it Is perhaps at the moment not wholly out of fashion in the United States. "But, if democracy be conceived, as men of our lineage have for centur ies done, as Involving the protection of Indefeasible human rights through the Integrity end independence of the courts, then cne must admit that menacing shadows have already fal len athwart our path."

It was pror- when, near Beau va Is, a member tha Archeologlcal Society of Francs unearthed a tank dating back to the Romans. While unearthing a bridge, built some 2,000 years ago near this town, which for centuries was the scene of Innumerable battles, M. Matherat came upon the debris of a war ma chine, resembling a covered, armored cart which Caesar's legions used in their battles. They called It a "Vln- ed," or rolling barrack, and it was formerly used in the same way as tanks are used today. This tank was man-propelled and its construction, although being less resistant than that of modern tanks, nevertheless, was sufficiently strong to resist the warfare of the time.
