GIRL'S CHARACTER
REVEALED BY LEGS

Maids With Long Knees
Most Affectionate, Con

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

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.

steps furnish the clue.

3rd Dimension Achieved
For Movies by Italians
ROME (UP) Three-dimensional
results In film work, which cam
eramen have been seeking for more
than 20 years, at last have been
obtained, an Italian scientist de
clares. 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

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

ject Is released from a two-year
hypnosis which kept him from dy

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.

117 SOUTH CENTRAL
YALE PRESIDENT
WARNS LIBERTY
PERILEDIN U. S.
'Dogmatic Assurance of Po
litical Medicine Men Is
Discounted Menace in
Many Forms On Horizon
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jun 23.
(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."

Man-Motored War Tank
Of Ceasers Time Found
PARIS (UP) War tanks are not
-
new means of defense. 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.
Also, a collection of ammunition.
