GRANDE DAME IS MRS. DAWES

But Charley Decides Length of Her Skirts

This is the third of a series on prospective "'First Ladies,” by Allene Summer, staff writer for The Times and NEA Service. BY ALLENE SUMNER Washington, May 25.— if Mrs. Charles Dawes, wife of the vice president, should be our next First, Lady, her husband, the President, would establish the length of the First Lady's reception gowns, to say nothing of gowns in general. For all the intimates of the Dawes family declare that for years “Charles” has established his wife’s hemline, and that they see no reason why even the White House would alter this custom. There in a nutshell —or a tape measure—is perfect denial of a popular Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dawes myth which insists that “this .frail little woman” winds the “Hell! Maria!” vice president about her little finger. The vice president decides her skirt lengths, helps select her hats and, gowns, decides which dinner invitations shall be accepted or refused and in short, places Mrs. Dawes in about the same position as the Senate, over which he presides. But with a difference. He's at the helm in the Dawes menage by special request of Mrs. Dawes and because he and his wife are so almost completely in accord on all subjects. Mr. Dawes not only says that his wife’s hemline shall be nine or eight inches above the floor, but she says so herself. They are both conservatives—in dress, as well as politcis. “The main thing I demand in a woman is that she be not conspicuous,” is a vice presidential epigram quoted by a close friend. And Caro Dawes is . certainly anything but conspicuous. a a a T>UT here again the intimates call the “shy” story a myth. “Mrs. Dawes is very much the Grande Dame,” they will tell you.* “Very conspicuous of her family and position and so serene in her own self-consciousness that she * does not feel the need of putting herself forward.” Dignity is perhaps the one word that best characterizes the Dawes home atmosphere. Mrs. Dawes, in beige lace and brown chiffon scarf, received in the living room doorway. Her smile and handclasp were pleasant and cordial, but her “line” moved briskly and competently on into the rich-raftered huge living room. The children her adopted j daughters and her grandchildren I —are the supreme interests of j Mrs. Dawes’ life. “Earnestness” is another char-

FISH BUSINESS THRIVES AS SCIENCE, ADVERTISING TICKLE AMERICAN APPETITE

BY ALFRED P. PECK United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 25. The oldest industry in the world—that of commercial fishing—has awakened and is making America a nation of fish eaters. Modern advertising methods, scientists, airplanes, fast boats and radio have caused a complete change in the business of catching and selling sea foods, according to Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commissioner of the Pnited States bureau of fisheries. Skilled advertising writers and poster artists have presented the

She measures everything with her yardstick of right and wrong, they say. “Money can not by everything,” she is quoted as saying. “I would have an uneasy conscience if I did not give myself to worthy causes.” a u a 'T'HEY say she would as soon drink prussic acid as a cocktail and would no more smoke a cigaret than behead a baby.

business in an attractive light with the result that revenues have doubled and redoubled within the past few years. Five years ago, it was impossible to purchase good, fresh sea food in cities 500 miles removed from the coast line. Today, the choicest cuts are being shipped from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Pacific to the Atlantic and arriving as fresh and palatable as when they left the water. u a a FIVE years ago, Radcliffe recalled, wholesale fish dealers met and lamented the fact that

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, MAY 25,1928

The reputation which “Hell an’ Maria Dawes” has fastened upon himself by his violent speeches worries his wife very much, close friends say. In reality he is a gentleman and a most sensitive and delicatelypercepted man, but he seems to take delight in his reputation. Mrs. Dawes does wish that people would better understand this pose and really know that “Charles” is a connoisseur of art in its myriad forms, a composer, a gracious host*and a churchman —not the hell-raiser that he likes to make the public believe he is. NEXT: Mrs. Janies A. Reed.

CHICAGO, May 25.—Another “Queen of the American Turf,” ranking with Mrs. Payne Whitney and Mrs. Virginia Fair Vanderbilt succeeded to the throne when the pretty little red coll, Reigh Count, won the classic Kentucky Derby for Mrs. John Hertz, wife of the multi-million-aire Chicago taxicab magnate. With the crown goes gold plate, riches, floral wreaths, social distinction and a high place in elite society that has turned in these new days to sports as another means of feminine expression. But to Mrs. Hertz the possession of Reigh Count, the Derby winner and Anita Peabody, the champion filly of the age represents only the means of gratifying a great love for horses and a keen desire for competition. If Mrs. Hertz had a flair for society her place would be fixed, as the new queen of the American track. But Mrs. Hertz is not socially inclined. Her youthful appearance does not indicate it, but she is a grandmother and her interests are far removed from society. nun “T NEVER have cared for society -l and I did not get into the racing game for any social ends,” she said a few days ago. “My husband and I and our children have always been interested in horses and I am not boasting when I say that I can ride quite well and that I know a little about playing polo. “There is a sort of financial thrill to the game, of course. But the pleasure we have gotten out of the more than SIOO,OOO that Reigh Count has won is not in the money but in the satisfaction that we know a good colt when we bought him for $12,000. “We have been offered $200,000 for Reigh Count, and goodness knows what we could get if we should offer Anita for sale, but we are going to keep them, because they are family jewels.” The Hertz family occupies an entire floor of one of the most fashionable hotels in Chicago and it is lavishly furnished with priceless antiques. But most prominent of all the display is Reigh Count’s derby cup.

their business showed no signs of progress. “Advertise,” the deputy fish commissioner suggested. “You can’t advertise fish,” he was told. Some of the commercial fishers began to think over Radcliffe’s suggestion. They consulted the Bureau of Fisheries and the Department of Agriculture. New chilling and packing methods were devised. Technologists, scientists and chemists were employed, together with advertising writers and artists.

HUGE CHINESE ARMIES CLASH OUTSIDE PEKIN Attaeking Hordes Hurled Back by Manchurian War Lord. DEFENSE IS SURPRISE Chang Tso Lin Offers Far More Opposition Than Expected. 5.7 I'nitrd Pri x LONDON, May 25.—Fighting was believed proceeding between Northern and Southern Chinese troops outside Pekin today, with the forces of Chang Tso Lin showing far more resistance than had been expected. Last week as the Nationalist armies advanced on a double front towards Pekin and Tientsin, the fall of the Northern capital was predicted momentarily. Observers believed that if Chang did not retreat into Manchuria, his forces soon would be defeated by the two strong armies from the South. Meager details "bf this major engagement between the Northern and Southern groups, however, indicated Chang Tso Lin had predicted correctly when in a recent statement he said: “We are prepared militarily to protect Pekin.” There were reports current that in some spots along the semi-cir-cular battle front—which extends from Nankou pass through PaotingFu—the Nationalists were retreating slightly. Tso Lin had urged peace, meanwhile announcing he was ready to defend his position. The Manchurian leader always has insisted he was working for Chinese unity and after the recent Tsinan incident I urged the Southern armies to cease | their attack and combine for a unified China. * Pp Vnitcd I’rc.ix PEKIN, May 25.—Japans interj vention to prevent extension of the i Chinese civil war to Manchuria was j a violation of international law and jof the Washington treaty, the Northern government charged today, I in its answer to Japan's Manchurian note. i The Chinese reply urged Japan | to “refrain from further violations ! of international law” in her dealings J with China. The importance of the note's de- ; fiant tone was increased because of its origin. Chan Tso-Lin, power behindthe Northern government, always had been friendly to Japan.

FIND VETERAN DEAD Henry J. Hale Killed on Railway Bridge. The body of Henry J. Hale. 94, 3367 W. Tenth St., one of the older Civil War veterans of Marion! County, was found under the Balti- 1 more & Ohio railroad bridge over Little Eagle Creek on W. Tenth St., ■ late Thursday. Motor Police Phillip De Barr and Willis Thompson, who investigated, believed that the aged man had perched on the bridge to eat a jar of peanut butter and was struck by a train. The body was tossed to the creek, thirty feet below, and was in twelve inches of water. The skull had been fractured. The officers found a peanut butter jar and spoon on the bridge at the spot where they believe he had been struck. His cap was carried to the east end of the bridge. Fifteen-year-old James Long, 942 Olin St., first found the body. The coroner was notified and he in turn notified police. Surviving are Thaddeus Hole? Indianapolis, and Harry Hale of Detroit, and two daughters: Mrs. Asbury Guion, R. R. A., and Mrs. O. L. Foster, Lafayette, Ind. WEALTHY YOUTH WILL BE FREED FROM CELL ! Jack Durand Was Convicted for Stealing Pearl Necklace. Bp United Press CHICAGO, May 25.—Jack Durand, 26, foster son of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Durand, Lake Forest millionairees, will be paroled from the Joliet penitentiary today, it was reported reliably here. Durand was convicted in October, 1925, of stealing a pearl necklace from Miss Hester White, daughter of F. Edson White, president of Armour & Cos. A small fortune was spent by his foster parents, prominent society leaders, to defend him. The F.tate board of pardons and paroles, which will meet here today, was understood to have approved a score of petitions asking his release from prison. Penitentiary officials said he was a “model” prisoner.

The scientists developed a method of freezing which left the fish in the same condition when thawed out as before. They also devised a sealed, parchment wrapping by which choice cuts of fishcould be ship ped and handled to meet the requirements of the most fastidious housekeeper. The Department of Agriculture recently conducted a test of the new methods, and after holding a prepared fish for twenty-seven months, could detect no chemical difference when it was thawed out.

WITH this accomplished, advertising writers and artists started out to tell consumers of the advantages of eating fish. The artists drew pictures of beautiful mermaids riding on the backs of gracefully arched fish. “Beauty and health out of the sea,” the ad men wrote. “Fish and sea food should be included in the correctly balanced meal—for health. Variety and nourishment serve sea food every day—there are 2,000 ways of serving sea foods—eat fish and sea food as a correct reducing diet”

Another session of balloting to fill the third lifetime office of bishop faced delegates at the general quadrennial conference of the Mthodist Episcopal Church today. Fourteen ballots cast in two days have failed to give any of three leading candidates for the office the two-thirds majority required for election. The fifteenth ballot was to be opened today. Dr. Thomas Holgate, Evanston, 111., created considerable confusion when he suggested that, having failed thus far to elect a third bishop, that the conferees postpone further balloting. The . suggestion was overruled. At the close of the fourteenth ballot Dr. Ralph H. Cushman, Genessee, N. Y., was high with 206 votes. Dr. Lewis O. Hartman, Boston, was next with 195.

The sales remained practically stationary until 1925 when the changed policy began to tell and sales jumped to 217,000,000 pounds; in 1926 to 238,000,000 and in 1927 to 265,000,000 pounds.
