By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright , 29.54. King Features Nyiuiu ate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, . . . —Bernard Newman, former de. gner for Bergr-dorf-Good man and the chap who blasted Hollywood’s smart set for its lack of chic, ignores the film ■ ’ colony entirely in his list of . >; meric a’s 10 s best -dressed & i " ° nl Pn ‘ )n '- v UX .two act resses are Claire and Gwili JUL Andre, and both of these are now ••Jrv on the Newman’s other Ina Claire choices are Mrs. II a r r 1 son \\ lltiams, Mrs. Horton Schwartz, Mrs. William Wetmore, Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt and Miss Mary Taylor, all socialites, and Hattie Carnegie, Mrs. Adam Gimbel, and Miss Leslie Morris from the business world. Designer Newman is now in Hollywood doing the gowns for "Roberta". Filmland owners of great danes and other large dogs have had their noses out of joint recently. Tom Carman, captain of Hollywood detectives, has issued a warning to the movie stars that terriers and even French poodles offer much more protection as watch-dogs than the bigger animals. "Small dogs are natural buttInskys," said ttie captain. "A big dog is apt to be good-natured. If not, he is likely to keep stilt and growl. A small dog sets up an awful racket." The officer won t mention names, hut relates an incident of a wellknown star who recently paid $350 for a watch-dog. Several months later, he came home to find the house ransacked and the dog cringing in a corner. But when the cops came out to investigate, the dog Hew at their throats, courageous only in the presence of his master. The captain’s admonition is of interest to many Hoilywoodites. Bing Crosby, Josef von Sternberg, Roscoe Karns and Carl Brisson all own barrel-chested police dogs. Great danes are Harold Lloyd’s favorites. Rudy Vallee has a large dog, half shepherd and half chow, that should be ferocious enough to satisfy even Captain Carman. Alice Faye used a doberman pinscher as a bodyguard. Many of these dog owners will disagree with Captain Carman. Do you remember the story of how Mack Gordon found the name for his and Harry Revell’s hit, “Stay As Sweet As You Are"? It came to him when he and Bobby Crawford

kitchens have been provided. Each girl will contribute the same amount of money and the entire sum will be pooled and budgeted. A schedule of work has been planned in which each girl will assume the various duties of management in rotation — cooking, waiting on table, washing dishes, and kindred tasks. _o Card Os Thanks We wish in this manner to thank the friends >.nd neighbors who so kin ily a.ssisted during the lllnesis and death if Mrs. Barbara Coffee. The Coffee family and Mrs. Catherine Schafer

were asked to write in a little girl's autograph book. The rotund Gordon afterwards tried to find the girl, but the right one never turned up. Now she has at last. Her name is Bernice Caro and Mack knows she is the girl because the inscription in her book was signed by Bobby Crawford’s name. Mack suggested the sentiment to Bobby. The youngster will get a nice I reward. A fan from Moorhead, Minn., sends a newspaper clipping telling that Lew Ayres’ father, Louis F. Ayer, i has been sitting in as a federal court ; reporter in a trial at this small tow n. Which will be interesting to Lew’s I many fans. Lew's dad. says the I item, has been a court reporter for , 17 years. What lavish giver will be plenty { in the dog-house after the first of I the year? He has been banding out expensive presents to Hollywood gals but charging the bills to their ! husbands ami sweethearts. Itch! Heh! Well till you this i one Santa Clans.

The crime wave subsided this year dim to the Dillinger gang's collapse and the renewed efforts of all Indiana law enforcement agencies to place themselves on the offensive rather than the defensive. 1 Establishment of the state po--1 lice radio system was one of the first steps taken to curb the crime wave. The proposal went forward rapidly during the summer months , of 1934 when the Indiana Bankers' i Association raised $50,000 in vol- ! untary contributions. The money was turned over to Feeney and work was started immediately oti location of five broad i casting units. At about the same time Feeney ! established a. system of state poI lice barracks, modeled after those . in Pennsylvania. New York, New Jersey and Michigan. Seven barracks are now in oper- ' ation at Ligonier, Michigan City. ‘ West Lafayette. Anderson, Rock- ( ville, Bedford. Scottsburg and Putnamville.

Du International Illu.ilrated Neus DES MOINES, Ta Uncle Sam’s Nez Year greeting to the farmers of America was no altruistic expression es sentiment ami good wishes. His was a cold and legalistic greeting in the form of the corn-hog contract for 1935. Pretty New Year's cards are welcome. but most farmers could have asked for nothing more welcome than the form listing the provisions for the control of the corn and hog ! production in the United States during the coming season. ! This contract, to replace the one In effect in 1934. is issued by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace in conformance with the stipulations •1 tlie Agricultural Adjustment act, a branch of the National Recovery administration. Millions to Farmers As last year, the 193 S contract will bring millions and millions of dollars to farmers if they agree not to produce more than a stipulated amount of corn, and not to raise more than a certain number of hogs. lowa farmers, for example, are expected to benefit to the extent of $45,000,000 if they stay within their assigned quotas for corn and hogs. I If they do not. and attempt to put into use land made idle by the AAA I contract and raise more hogs than

permitted they are subject to fines for over-production. The new contract provides that for each acre to be retired from corn production in 1935. the government will pay the farmer a sum of 35 cents a bushel for the average acreage planted to corn on the same land in 1932 and 1933. For hogs the payment is sls per head on 10 per cent of the hog base for 1932 and 19 33, or the adjusted annual average number of hogs produced for market in those two years Share Expenses In the payments for both a prorata share of the administrative expenses of the Corn-Hog Control association of the county in which the farming unit Is located will be collected from the amounts. The contract stipulates that the payments wiU be made in two installments. The first, to be made as soon as practicable after the contract is accepted by the secretary of agriculture. will be 20 cents a bushel for the corn, and $7.50 a head for the hogs. The second and last installment. to Include the remainder of the payment minus the administrative expenses, will be paid on or about Jan. 1. 1930.

the number permitted under this contract the secretary (of agriculture) may for each excess acre direct the disposition at the expense of the signers hereof, of an amount of corn equal to the adjusted estimated yield of corn per acre.” S2O Penalty As a penalty for exceeding the hog provisions, the contract reads that “if the number of hogs produced for market from 1935 litters exceeds the maximum number permitted under this contract, there may be deducted from such payment S2O per head for each or any of the hogs in excess of such number..,” The contract further states that in the event of terminination of a contract by the government for any evidence of noncompllance, no additional payment will lie made ami all previous payments will be refunded to tlie government. Ami to secure such a refund, according to the contract, the secretary of agriculture shall have a lien on corn and hogs now owned or owned In the future by the partv or parties obligated to make such a refund. The most recent figures available indicate that payments already made and .due farmers under the 1934 corn-hog contract will total $357,055,630.
