A - K. F. he was given command of the 28th Infantry, but only after repeated requests for duty with the troops. It was while commanding these troops that General Ely enacted .the heroic role of leading his regiment in the first and one of tfie most dramatic assaults of American troops on the German lines at < autigny. The action drew the eyes I of the world to the Yanks and convinced the Allies that the United States soldiers were a match for the cream of the Kaiser's army. Awarded Decorations General Ely was awarded the Croix de Guerre and the decoration of an officer of the Legion of Honor for his bravery. Soon after Cantigney, General Ely was promoted to a brigadier general and placed in command of the second brigade of the Second Division. In this capacity he won the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism under fire. This episode occurred during the capture of Vierzey, near Soissons. In winning the cross General Ely advanced with his troops on the i town and withstood short range I machinb gun fire in order to personally direct operations. 1 Following the war General Ely reverted to his permanent grade of colonel, but Congress appointed him a brigadier general on March 5. 1921. On February 23, 1923, he was made a major general. During the years after the World War General Ely served as commandant of the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., and later as preslJ dent of the Army War College at Washington, D. C. He took command of the Second Corps Area on December 1, 1927.

budgets, clear up their debts and help them save money for a rainy day. More than a dozen of these firms now operate in the film colony. For the most part they get the star's checks each week from the studio and deposit them in a joint signature

account. Every check the star issues has to be countersigned. AH bills are paid by the investment company, which •ends each client an itemized statement at the end of the month, showing how much has been •pent on clothes, cars, household •xpenses, etc. Usually, the stars receive so much spending money each week. They also are allowed an emergency account of a few hundred dollars. It is ths policy of these firms to tactfully dissuade clients from foolish expenditure, and to recommend sound investments. If the •ccasion arises, they also aid in divorce property settlements, or take over blackmail demands. A single firm handles the affairs of Constance Bennett, Warner Baxter, Robert Ames, James Gleason, Helen Twelvetrees, Dorothy Mackaill and 29 other prominent players. Rex Cole, vice-pre-sident of the company, declares that the stock crash has made the film people increasingly moneyconscious. They are learning to save enough in their five years or I more on the screen to make them i independent for the rest of their life. They are learning, too, that I when it comes time to talk new contracts, the producer fears a fat , bank account more than anything else in the world. And they are •fijoying a new freedom from debts and attachments. Naturally there will always be a few specr tacular spenders and bankrupts. But the economy wave is on. MAN PROPOSES.

Jeffers spoke to approximately 5000 persons last night The militiamen had been instrue-' ted not to molest the evangelist • unless the meeting became disorderly. Denver L. Dudley, prominent ' I young attorney* and one of the 1 | leaders in the group defending the ( l Baptist pastor, was criticized in the evangelist's exhortation, but) Jeffers urged his supporters to be . peaceful. Jeffers was called from the pul-1 I pit diefore he began speaking and was warned by Lieut. James i Packett that he must not deal with personalities. Earlier in the day | city authorities had announced , Issuance of a warrant charging the pastor with inciting mob ac- ; tion. but this never was served. The guardd nuit included three , squads from Blytheville, neighbor ; ing community, and numbered 75', men. It was armed with tear bombs which a national guard plane brought last evening.

A recent search for youngsters of this sex. age and description by ■ him was conducted with the cooperation of municipal statistical '< bureaus. A careful search of the birth records for October. November and December of 1930 and Jan itary of 1931 revealed that only one set of male twins were born to the [millions of New York's citizens in that four-month period.

Some years ago, the y«ung player was doing firrly well with British International Pictures. Coming out here, he found tne going much tougher. I.) fact, he might never have found a job in pictures if he hadn’t, been a sharpshooter. The studios finally hired him to shoot cigarettes out of stars’ mouths or put bullet holes through their hats. His break finally did come, however. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer put him under an acting contract. And now Fox has signed him to play opposite Marguerite Churchill in “Ambassador Bill."

"one about 50 and the other about IS,” had attacked her after Collings had been '"tied and thrown overboard." The tragedy was disclosed early yesterday, wff.-n the yacht Valentine, with ;i party headed by N. L. [ Noteman. nearly crashed into the derelict Penguin. Boarding the Penguin. Noteman found only the child, Barbara, aboard. Barbara, who had been sic. ping, told of hearing a fight on deck, but did not comprehend its significance. She was taken ash are. Almost at the same hour. Mrs. Collings was discovered, crying for help, in a motor boat moored off Oyster Buy. In the boat was a blan- , ket labelled "St. Charles Hotel." Mrs. Collings attempted to give a coherent, report of the night’s events. She said the Penguin, on whicli her family has been spending the summer in short cruises, was boarded by two men who demanded Collings take them across the sound to Norwalk. Her husband refused, she said although he was offered SIOO — because he has no night lights on the boat. After an argument, according to her story, the men drew revolvers,
