Since Lucy Stone, famous reformer of the last century, started the fad. many celebrated women have followed suit. A notable example is Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor in the R >oseve!t Cabinet, who in private life is Mrs. I’aul Wilson. Another is Dorothy Thompson, novelist, who has kept her maiden name through two marriages. She is Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, wife of the world-famed author. Formerly she was married to Josef Bard, of Budapest, Hungary.

and it is interesting to hear that a good part of the new picture may be shot on location in the southern city. Mae is writing her next story just as she did “She Done Him Wrong” and “I'm No Angel." She lies in bed and dictates to a secretary. —— 1 Credit Mrs. Jack Haley with the I best wisecrack of the week. t The wife of the comedian is expecting a blessed event and she was very much disappointed when the i doctor told her it probably will be a ■ 1 I “Fast heart beats indicate girls,” he explained. “Slow heart beats, boys.” , . Suddenly Mrs. Haleys face brightened: “But, doctor," she piped up, “couldn’t it possibly be a nervous boy?” Chiquita, 18-year-old dancer and psychic, whose predictions are sought after and listened to with respect by plenty of Hollywood celebs. has been working with Joan Crawford in “Dancing Lady.” Here are her newest forecasts: That a brilliant marriage is in store for Greta Garbo. That the Swedish actress will not return to Europe for two and a half years. That Joan Crawford will marry again, this time happily, and may star in a New York play. That John Gilbert’s comeback will be a sensational success. That Max Baer will become world’s champion and will score in two more films besides “The Prizefighter and the Lady.” That Ramon Novarro will not m'arry for eight years. Here’s one that the gossips will leap on with glee. Richard Dix went

to the opera Monday night with Lois Wilson. Remember when they 1 were Hollywood’s most romantic 1 couple? And Lois has never been a engaged to anyone since she and Rich broke it up. For piquant descriptions, I like Fifi Dorsay’s indignant reply when I accused her of being engaged to Maurice Hill and of flirting with Lyle Talbot. “Not me, beeg boy!” she exclaimed. “I used to be an artichoke you know, a leaf for everybody —but no more.” QUICK GLIMPSES Wolfgang Lert, eldest son of novelist Vicki Baum, plays on the polo team of the Urban Military Academy here.... Telephoning to a friend in Hollywood, Sidney Fox says she has a picture offer and may be coming west in a couple of , weeks.

LEGION PLAITO ' OPEN TOMORROW Musical Comedy Will Be Presented Two Nights At Auditorium Everything is In readiness for the preeenation of the big production, "The World's All Right" which Is to be staged Wednesday and Thursday nights, October 25 and 26 in the Decatur Catholic high school auditorium. The final dress rehearsal will be held tonight. Woven through the plot of the play are spectacular and sensational musical scenes, group numbers and solo parts. The show is unique in that the audience listens to a radio program which brings the entertainers before their eyes. The first feature number is the , Children's Hour featuring Mrs. L. A. Holthouse as the Tell Me-A-Story Lady. She is assisted by a group of school children in the Tiny Tot Parade. The Hill Billys give "My Blue Ridge Mountain Home" and “They I Cut Down the Old Pine Tree." In thi« number is an old time square dance and old time melodrama entitled "Frankie and Johnie” which is pantomined. In direct contrast to this number Paul Saurer appears as Skipper Ericson and he will give a special interpretation of the dramatic num- ' her. "I’m Waiting for Ships That Never Come in." He will be assisted , by eight girls dressed in sailor costumes. The Harlem High-Steppers act, which ie done in black fate and high brown makeup will -feature Miss Patsy Fullenkamp as Gertie Green, the vamp of New Orleans and Elisha Little, who plays the comedy lead of the show. Assisting them are eight girls in special costumes and high brown makeup, who do a clever song and song routine to “The Darktown Strutters Ball." The smash hit of the production is called the Stars and Stripes Re-' vue which opens with Charles Ki-j zer as the Revolutionary Soldier; | C. O. Porter as the northern and i H. Cochran as the southern soldier, and Lili Smith as the mother of blue-gray. Seats for the’presentation go on reserve at the Peoples Restaurant, Wednesday, October 25.

EAST OF SUEZ - AND WEST COLOR and stir of the bazaar ... beat of the tom-toms and wail of the pipes ... pungent dust of the passing caravan ... flash of silver and crimson and jade ... singsong invitation of the tradesmen! If you ever travel in the Orient you will feel the fascination of the bazaar—once. Afterward, when you return from a frenzy of haggling and sleight-of-hand,' and spread your tawdry purchases on the hotel bed, you will feel differently. You will appreciate as never before the advantages of living in a country where goods are advertised in the daily press... where you can sit down with your newspaper and decide exactly what you will buy today, what price you will pay, and w here you will find the greatest values. Best of all, a country where buying an advertised article means getting your money’s worth, without matching wits with unscrupulous traders. Perhaps you’ll never voyage East of Suez. But right now, right at home you can discover the convenience and sound economy of reading the advertisements before you shop. Here is a leading merchant who has combed the markets of the world for quality merchandise at a price his name guarantees to be fair. Here is a great manufacturer who has exhausted science to improve the worth of his product. Here is a little shopkeeper offering unusually attractive prices. Study the advertisements. Know what is being offered to your advantage. Then do your buying with assurance.

I PRICE CONTROL IN RETAIL CODE < DUE FOR BATTLE i I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) t I • I ilclals favoring a substantial mini i mum mark-up expressed belief that these agencies would lose no time I in working out the necessary formulate as most retailers are anxious j to strengthen the "stop loss" pro- ] visions of the code without delay They anticipated that probably half a dozen markups of varying percentages would be worked out for carylng types of stores in which ‘ labor costs differ Those opposing mandatory markups of prices above wholesale costs contended that development of formulae covering labor costs was ( likely to prove so complex and con- ( troversial that It would be a long time before anything along this ' line was done. f Despite the provisions for mark- ( ups to cover part of store wages, j I the consumers advisory ivoard and other agencies which fought the cost plus 10 per cent plant felt they had scored a notable victory. The I original provision, they pointed ■ lout, would imposed a fixed policy I on all stores and all goods. The j | code as signed assures that the j i markup may be made different for , various types of stores and may | be changed easily. There is no exception that any markup ordered will include all labor costs. For the estimated 1,110,000 stores of all kinds in the nation last year, commerce department calculations show that their payrolls equalled 15.5 per cent of their net sales. The percentages were 13.2 for food. 14 4 for general merchandise, 17.5 for apparel and 20 j for furniture, as compared with the I eliminated code provision which woufd have forbidden sales at less than cost with an allowance of at ; least 10 per cent to help cover ex-; penses For all stores in 1932 all I
