BRITISH BEAUTY : PARLORS THRIVE . London. Sept. 28.— (U.R) — Ten Mayfair beauty parlors have over ’ a thousand regular clients, who spend more than S6OO a year to keep face and figure attractive. Many clients spend more than i - this, and then there are the occasional visitors, who spend between $25 and SIOO during a single sesision. Several beauty establishments list callers who weekly spend about $1,300 a year. These figures show the necessity of introducing new vogues every month or two. Platinum hair, picture finger and I toe nails, a new curl, extreme styles of cutting and waving the hair, delicate $5 butterfly lips, and 'tattooing bees over moles and oth;er blemishes, or garters on legs. I are but a few of the recent style ' decrees and “money pullers." It may be painless extraction. I but it is evidently quite thorough. Fashionable beauty parlors main- ' tain excellent gymnasiums anti serve meals. The Hollywood diet was first introduced in London by I Westand beauty salons. I Establishments where beauty is manufactured and retained operate with beehive activity and effi--1 ciency. Time schedules are maintained and a patron knows that she I can arrive and depart at a fixed iiime and still treat her face and I figure to the care and attention that fashion demands and ■' secures. : o X * I TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE —— ; Can you answer seven of these ; | test questions?

‘A not- Tiers 3 Incorporated New Blow at Depression * * * * * * ‘ How Five Marrying Justices of Jeffersonville i Solved Problem of Competition, Long Hours and Fewer Marriages i i E i fl t. ‘ Bi ~ k s JEL k. Bg| Marriage Trust**] RTEEMiKIi ■■ Cupid’s i>25.000 a Year Business =ii z When the decline of the marriage rate, due to the scarcity of money, began to inflict hardship on the five marrying justices of Jefforaonville, the Gretna Green of Southern Indiana, they decided that it was time to introduce big businesl methods into their trade of launching Cupid's victims on the sea of matrimony. The five formed a merger and opened one consolidated “marriage parlor" at the Indiana approach to the new Louisville Bridge over the Ohio River. The new arrangement has proved a great success, giving the “trust” a monopoly on the Jeffersonville marriages and enabling it to boost the matrimonial fees f'om $2.50 to $5, as well as cutting the overhead by four-fifths. Photo shows the members of the unique trust. Left to right are Benson Veasey, John M. Madden, Ryan Gannon, William Dorsey and Clarence l Parsley. panel shows one of the partners outside the marriage mill on the lookout for customers.

Jeffersonville, Ind., Sept. 28. —[ J With the exception of the under-1 taking business, there is hardly a, trade that one can think ot that has not been detrimentally affected by the Spectre Depression. And even that would not be an exception if I It weren’t for the fact that people will persist in dying—whether their | financial circumstances permit a limousine with liveried flunkies or whether they are reduced to living * on hope and an unquenchable cur1 iosity as to what is going to hap-' I pen next. “ In common with every other bus-! iness, the marrying trade has suf ! r sered. The power of Cupid has waned in proportion to the scarcity , •j of the dollar and the marriage rate e has reached a new low. v Here in Jeffersonville, Southern " Indiana’s Gretna Green, the situa- i ’ tlon was nothing short of acute for | t a time. That is, until away was, s found to hit back at Old Man De-! * pression. There were five justices in this j thriving town, whose specialty was ■ the launching of couples on the' sea of matrimony, and when Cupid j , first began to pull his punches competition became very keen between them. Customers for the knot-ty- * ing ceremony became so scarce that each of the marrying magisn trates was compelled to work 24 J hours a day, seven days a week, in -’ order to make ends meet. Not only ' that but each had to employ "bark II ers,” o rrunners, who solicited the patronage ot altar-bound couples. -1 Things were bad and the justices q [ knew it .They agreed that someo j thing must be done, so they got and talked over their difd ’ Acuities. f I The result of the pow wow was ( the formation of what Is probably 5 1 the most unique merger in the his-

tory of the United States, and ini stead of there being five marriage jnills in Jeffersonville there is now [only one consolidated nuptial parlar and it is located at the Indiana approach to the new $5,000,000 Louisville munici[>al bridge over 1 the Ohio River. The merger of the five marrying justices was a stroke of genius. Not only did It give the "trust" a monopoly on the marriage business in Jeffersonville, but it cut the loverhead by four-fifths, there now ; being only on e establishment where the knot is tied. Not only thdt, btlt me Big Five were able to boost the marriage I fee from the former $2.50 to $5, and whereas before the consolidation each member of the combine 'had to work seven days a week now each works two days In turn. "thus it can be seen that the et- . ficient methods of big business may be successfully applied to situjations hitherto undreamed of. o Day In Jail Brihgs Back Divorce Witness’ Memory Reno, Nev., Sept. 28. — qj.R) — Twenty-four hours in jail refreshed the memory of Mortimer Nickel who “could not remember" the ex--1 act date of arrival of two divorcees I'unless he was paid a witness fee of $25. The standard witness fee is $5. A divorce-seeker roomed at his ! house and when her six weeks' residence was established, she ask ■ ‘ed Nickel to be her witness and he demanded $25. The lady "told it to judge" 1 who subpoened him. When he >,"could not remetflber,” he went to • jail for? 4 hours, where His mem- •; ory suddenly returned.

EMPLOYED ARE URGED TO SPEND Gifford Says Spending Will Give Jobs To UnEmployed Os Nation Washington, Sept. 28 — (UP) — America's employed should spend motley in order to give work to ' those now unemployed. Walter S. I Gifford, director of the president's organization on unemployment, urg- , ed in the program for local relief he i placed before the nation. Speaking over nation-wide radio hookups last night, Gifford urged: 1. —That a statewide committee I of leading citizens be appointed by the Governor of each state. 2. —That an emergency commit-j tee be organized in every community where there is an unemployment problem. 3.—That this local committee inform itself as to the probable unemployment load this winter and develop ways and means for meeting it through providing employment or relief. 4. —That each local committee inform its state committee as to its organization and plans. i Gifford assured his audience that ! the period of economics distress is I hot temporary and can be met effec- ; tively with emergency measures. He urged the employed to spend | money In order to aid those out of ; work. —Q — RECORD PLANE IS REMODELLED (CONTINUED FROM FARE ONE' tory. Doolittle left the plane in charge of E. M. (Matty! who built it. Doolittle then flew to Racine, Wis.. in another ship, io take part in an air show. Laird said the principal changes would be in the body and would reduce air resistance. Doolittle completed his 166 miles hop from Indianapolis yesterday in 46 minutes. o Dairymen To Receive Honor Roll Awards Six hundred and sixteen Indiana ■ dairytneh. in 43 different dairy : herd improvement associations. ' will receive Honor Roll certificates from the National Dairy Association this year, in recognition of . I the production records which these | dairymen have made with their herds during the last 12 months, ; according to G. A. Williams, ct I the Purdue University Agriculture • Extension department who is in charge of dairy hard improvement associations in Indiana. Any dairyman with a herd of , | pot less than 5 cows, averaging , | 300 pounds of butterfat per cow , j during the year, is entitled to a . national herd honor roll certificate. t The word. “Gopatis." meaning ’Lord of the cow' has bee nselected as the name of the organization to which these dairymen have won admission. The National Dairy Association will give a banquet at St. Louis Thursday evening. Oct. ■ 15 and all dairymen who have qualified for a certificate are cordially invited to attend. Any Gopatis member should register with S. H. Anderson, executive secretary of the National Dairy Exjiosltlon. as soon as he reaches the grounds. Os the 43 Indiana associations *1 having one or more members wlnr ning certificates this year, Bpsclusko heads (he list with 24, - North Marshall coming 2nd with - 22 and Adams.

He looked with justifi- ’ able pride bn the modern build1 Ings and scientific care, for in the United States he probably has spent more time fighting fbr crip pled children than any other person. > Stubbs' uphill fight for deformed children began in 1896, when he 1 was a poor laboring man, without ; sufficlbnt funds to purchase a s4ti . brace for his daughter, Clara, suf- , ferlng with curvature of the spine. "When 1 could not buy the brace, f I canvassed hospitals for aid." ? Stubbs said, "but there was none r coming. There were no provisions . for poor children. I guess the rich f | were taken care of. blit the poor ’ Ito shift for themselves.” 1 jlt was then Stubbs began a camt paign for children’s aid in Ohio. It * a " 19 ynys before bis fight bore f fruit Today many states have f hospitals for crippled children. ——n • SALE CALENDAR ; September 30, j. n.
