The vineyards have given way to immense resort hotels and boarding schools, among which winding roads loop the loop, and cog-railways afford transportation to folks who are in a hurry. Delegates to the Lausanne conference have discovered that whenever one wants to go anywhere In Lausanne, one starts in the opposite direction and is liable to recross bjs path several times before arriving at his destination. There is no such thing a a straight street In Lausanne.

Things which are not curved are angular. Even the bridges which span the numerous ravines are seldom straight. Streets. churches, houses and parks are scattered over the irregular heights in a helter-skelter manner which gives the city great charm, but is maddening to newspaper correspondents and delegates who lack the mountain-climbing ability of a chamois and find it necessary to visit the. scattered delegations and conference centers.

No Mrnlght Street In Town. Lausanne's chief center is located about half way tip the mountainside and adjoins the Casino, where the opening session of the conference was held. The Turkish and French delegations live at the Palace hotel, which is on the same level with the Casino. Also the main telegraph office is on this level. But the Americans.

British and Italians live on the lake shore, near the Hotel du Chateau, where the meetings of commissions are held. This is probably half a mile from the Casino, as the crow flies, but the winding roadways run the taxicab meters up to two miles, and no stranger can find his way without a guide. The Greek. Russian, Bulgarian and other minor delegations are scattered at different levels between the heart of the city and the Many of their hotels are far" from cog-railways and tramlines. Consequently Alpine stocks and hobnailed boots are in great demand among newspaper men who must keen in touch with the far-flung delegations.

Jones of Cincinnati of plans fr the remarriage Jan. 1 of his divorced wife. Mrs. Olive L. Jones, and himself, was one of the major developments in the investigation of the slaying of O.

L. Black, sales manager for a Louisville automobile company in Mrs. Jones' apartment Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Jones went 1o police head-ouarters early Monday morning and surrendered.

She declared that after shooting in self-defense she had covered Black's body and kept an all-night vigil, unable to summon courage to call police. She was charged with murder. "I do not know whether the killing of Black, who broke up my home four vears ago. will interfere with our pians," Jones said today In Cincinnati in telling of arrangements for the remarriage. "'I shall try to see her and find out." Jones reiterated his intention of standing by his former w-ife.

While counsel for Mrs. Jones maintained today that she shftt in elf-defense following a quarrel, police insisted that the fact Black was wounded in back, apparently as he wa attempting to cllmh through a window, contradicted this theory.
