says Ina Claire was wearing his "baby coiffure” four months ago. And that the hair-dress isn't a copy of any other stylist's design. Fred Fredericks, of Max Factor's staff, argues why bother about the three-inch haircuts anyway. They won’t last. “In motion pictures.” he says, “women must have hair about their faces and necks.” Mr. Fredericks points with pride to his own creations, the wigs worn by Norina Shearer in “Idiot’s Delight", and by Joan Bennett in “Trade Winds.” Remember our item about the weird list of names in the family of Laraine Johnson, M-G-M starlet appearing with Wallie Beery in “Sergeant Madden?” Well, a branch of her family in Roosevelt, Utah, want to be included. They answer to such oddities as Mercolline, Alton Legree, Verlee, Owena, Varley, Eldredd and Orissie. Saw Bill Fields’ new picture the other day. The scene where he routs a party of snobs in "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" is not only hilarious screen comedy, . but is the quintessence of the star's ' philosophy. Bill hates phoneys with a great hate. He’d rather ridicule i them than anything else in the . world.

NEW CRISIS IS THREATENED RY JAPANESE MOVE Anger Over Terroristic Activities May Bring Crisis Shanghai. Feb. 22 — (U.R) — Leaves of a majority of United i States marines were canceled by i their officers today as Japanese anger over activities of Chinese terrorists threatened a crisis involving the interests of foreign 1 countries. Japanese authorities were expected to present a series of demands — reported from Tokyo to approximate an ultimatum — to . authorities of the foreign-controlvd International settlement late today. It was reported that Japan would demand an increase in Japanese members of the Shanghai municipal police and possible i authorization for Japanese millI tary units to patrol the interna- ! tional settlement to combat terrori*m. For over IS months Chinese terrorists, operating with aston ishing audacity in the heart of Japanese occupied territory, had assassinated more than 80 Chinese “traitors” who were co-operating, openly or secretly, with the Japanese conquerors. While Chinese guerillas harassed communications and attacked isolated garrisons in territory long nominally under Japanese domination, these men. some of them members of the “blue shirt" patriotic organization. had operated in densely populated Shanghai. A week ago a ■ large force of armed Chinese penetrated into I the heart of the Japanese control-' ed Tatao area of western Shanghai. fired a number of shots in the air in front of the principal police station, and scattered pamphlets announcing in the name of the “Chinese anti- ; Japanese anti-traitor iron and blood corps” that all “traitors" would be exterminated. They. said that previous assassinations j had been only a sample. Next, terrorists shot and killed To Foh, a leading judge of the Japanese sponsored government of greater Shanghai. First terrorists fired on a Jap--1 anese army automobile in the i crowded Nanking road in international settlement territory, j They wounded Jiichi Koyanagi, i an official Japanese army photo- ; Masko Morioka. grapher; Kokuro Sato and Miss Next terrorists bombed the Japanese Kungdah mill. On Sunday evening Chen Lo, foreign minister in the Japanese sponsored reformed government of Nanking, arrived in supposedly complete secrecy—with 20 bodyguards—to celebrate the Chinese new year at the home of a friend in Chinese territory. Gaiety was at its height when 15 Chinese terrorists entered the front door. They herded the unresisting bodyguards before them, entered the room where the party was proceeding, and emptied their revolvers into Chen’s body. By this time Japanese anger was at fighting pitch. The Japanese consul went to the municipal council, made a verbal protest against the shooting of the Japanese in the army automobile and reserved the right to present a written one. Meanwhile, Japanese unofficially were protesting angrily against the assassination of Foreign Minister Chen. I As all this was going on yesj terday—terrorists. In a street of the international settlement, walked up to Marquis Li KuoI Chfeh. wealthy industrialist unI officially associated with the

TEACHER DEATH STORY IS TOLD Doctor Tells Death-Bed Statement Os Lagro Principal — Marion. Ind.,'Feb. 22. — (U.R) — 1 ; Marguerite Gillespie was scheduled to testify about her friendship with Paul Bartholomew, laigro, Ind., high school principal, today 1 at the trial of Mrs. Rilln Harrell, accused of shooting Bartholomew to death in her home at Uagro last Nov. 12. Miss Gillespie, subpenaed l»y the I state, was reported to have been i engaged to Batholomew and Prose- ; tutor Eugene Weesner of Wabash county Indicated this fact will be introduced as a possible motive for the shooting. Miss Gillespie is The one-armed educator and ath ; ictic coach was wounded several . I times at the Harrell home after he and the defendant returned from a tavern. Mrs. Harrell's counsel has based her defense on her contention that the shooting was accidental and that Bartholomew held the gun. Over vigorous objections from j defense counsel, Hatliolomew's deathbed statement was admitted 1 into evidence yesterday. Dr. Fred Whisler told a jury of 10 men and two women of his conversation i with the 44-year-old victim just before he died. He quoted Batiiol{omew as saying: ’l "She finally did it. This has been going on for 10 or 12 years. Two years ago she tried to do it ' and failed. Tonight she finally did i it.” Mrs. Harrell, who is 47. listened intently to the testimony with 11 complete composure. Several times she leaned over to whisper to her defense attorney. Walter Bixler. He asked Dr. Whisler if lie detected alcohol on Bartholomew's breath and the witness replied in the negative. | The victim's blood-spattered ■ clothing was introduced in evl- - deuce during the testimony of Robi ert Borkenstein of the slate poi lice. He related that there were I 13 bullet holes in the coat and • trousers. “The clothing bore no marks of i powder or gas burns." he said, i i "Tests on the gun—a .32 caliber • automatic — showed that it left • traces of gas and powder up to dis- • tances of 15 feet.” o No Clues Found To ‘ Missing Prisoner Michigan City, Ind., Feb. 22 — 1 (UP —State prison officials were still without clues today ot the niys- ' i tcious escape of Paul Pierce, killer of an Indianapolis police detective who evidently walked out of the ( prison sometime Monday without . being seen.
