TYPICAL U. S. GIRL OBJECT OF SS,OOOJEARCH Two Beauties Will Be on Committee to Decide Winner. Exit Times Special lEW YORK, Dec. B.—Vina Delmar, a noted author at 22, and Rosamond Pinchot Gaston, society beauty and one of the most bril- , Kant younger American actresses, haVe pledged themselves to find the answers to two constantly discussed but never settled questions: 1. Who is the typical American girl? - 2. What qualities make her typical? Together with. Jesse L. Lasky, the motion picture /magnate; Guy Hoff, noted portrait painter, and John Golden, leading theatrical producer, they will form a committee to select the “typical American girl’’ from nominees to be brought to New York from all sections of the country by Smart Set magazine? Rare Beauty Not Sought The magazine, which will make a $5,000 award to the girl selected, puts special emphasis on the point that it is not conducting a beauty contest. “We are looking for the girl who will embody those qualities most admired by al Ithe girls of America, who will reflect American girlhood as it is,” says James R. Quirk, the publisher. “She probably will be pretty, but she probably won’t be a rare beauty. Other qualities—her taste, dress, manner, her interest in athletics, education, home life or work—will interest us as much as her appearance. Cover Entire Country “In Mrs. Delmare, we believe we have selected a judge who understands the American working girL more completely and sympathetically than any other person. The phenomenal success of her novel, ‘Bad Girl,’ and her short stories are ample proof that she has lived long with those of whom she writes “Mrs. Gaston, born to social prestige, is an outstanding representative of that growing clas sos girls, dissatisfied with the froth of an altogether social life, who are eager to test their own merits in a competitive world. Her stellar role in Rinehardt’s ‘The Miracle’ was a noteworthy artistic achievement." The Smart Set search will be conducted in twenty divisions, covering the entire country, where local committees will choose the most typical girl. The twenty chosen will then be brought to New York as guests of the magazine for the final selection. PHONE NUMBER WRONG Daughters of Isabella Salvage Shop Is Lincoln 3647. A story of the establishment of the Daughters of Isabella Salvage bureau, 806 Blake street, printed in The Indianapolis Times Thursday, contained an erroneous telephone number. Through transposition of figures the number which persons with articles for the salvage bureau are to call was printed Lincoln 3674. The correct number is Lincjln 3647.

OUhaMoKif yfa Modern Moon Goddess RCHID Wt

THIS HAS HAPPENED ORCHID’S real name is ASHTORETCH —ASHTORETH ASHE. Her mother, a romantic woman, named her for the moon goddess of ancient Egypt—the love goddess to whom Egyptian women prayed. A rather absurd name—and yet it seemed, peculiarly, to suit the girt. For she is extraordinarily beautiful, in an unusual and exotic sort of way. HOLLIS HART, the famous financier, was immensely impressed the first time he saw her—and Hollis Hart was not a susceptible person. He was. In fact, one of the wealthiest and most eligible bachelors In America. Ashtoreth went to work for Hart. Lee, Inc., when she was 18 years old. Hart, at the time, must have been nearly 50— old enough to be her father. Ashtoreth rather swept him off his feet the first day she entered his office. No one knew now to dress more successfully than Ashtoreth. On $lB she could look like a rich man’s daughter. She wore black exclusively. And on this particular day happened to be wearing a most unusual ring that attracted ner employer’s attention. An Imitation scarab. Hart, interested in archeology, noticed it Immediately. When he commented upon it, Ashtoreth spoke casually of Egypt and of Cleopatra. Hart, impressed by her rather unusual familiarity with the customs and maners of ancient Egypt, engaged her In conversation. He learned that her name was that of the old moon goddess. Tremendously surprised, he shows an unusual interest in the new stenographer. And Ashtoreth. thrilled by his attention, takes his dictation with her head in a lovely whirl. That night she reads about Cleopatra until dawn, because—in reality—she had pretended a knowledge of things with which she was not at all familiar, she goes to work hoping that Mr. Hart will speak of Cleopatra again, so that she may air her new knowledge. To her intense surprise he summons her to ask her opinion regarding a letter he has Just received. Dumfounded. she takes it from his hand, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER II IT was an amazing letter. Inscribed on expensive stationery. Heavy with foreign scent. The girl who wrote it had used green ink and a stub pen. She wrote violently. A round, childish hand, sparing neither endearments nor threats. “Dearest Holly,” she demanded, Why don’t you phone me? Where were you every night last week? I’m just crazy about you, Holly. I can’t read, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep- oh God, how I suffer! You don’t know the way a loving girl can suffer or you wouldn’t leave me alone with my thoughts and misery. I get so desperate thinking about you, and have you gone back on me? I guess you think you can break my heart and walk all over me, after you made me so crazy about you. But I’m not one of the kind you can cast off like an old shoe. I guess you knew what the poet said about hell doesn’t know any fury like a woman when you get through with her. But you’re not through with me, are you, dear? I guess I’m sort of crazy because I love you, and you don’t come to see me any more. Someone told me I got a good case against you with the apartment all furnished and everything. But God knows I don’t want to do anything like that. Maybe you think I am crazy, raving on like this. But I thought you didn’t get my messages that I leave on the telephone, and you would get mad if I went to see you like you told me not to. So please come back to your loving MAE. a a a ASHTORETH handed the surprising communication back to her employer. Acutely uncomfortable, she stood rigidly by his desk. “I do not understand,” she said, “why you wished me to read your most personal correspondence.” “Because,” he explained, “I wanted to get your reaction. I wanted to see the effect of a letter like that on a girl like you. A whim, perhaps. “Mae de Marr worked in this office once. A filing clerk, I believe. I Pondered how many girls like her there are out there. I thought perhaps, you could tell me.” Ashtoreth raised her head. “I am afraid,” she said, “that I cannot help you. I wonder why you thought I could." "I hope I have not offended you,” he apologized. “I assure you there was nothing at all personal in my inquiry. I’m simply Interested in this modern girl proposition. I thought maybe you could help me see the light.” He ca/ne then, and stood in front of her. “Please, Miss Ashe,” he appealed boyishly, “tell me—what’s it all about? They say modern girls are self-respecting. We hear so much about the modem girl and her independence. It’s just a lot* of nonsense, isn’t it? Bea good sport, Miss Ashe—how many Mae de Marrs have I out there?” “You mean,” she asked evenly, “how many girls would let you set them up in an apartment, and be prepared, when you had tired of them, to step out of the picture?" “My gosh, Miss Ashe!” Hart explored his pockets nervously for cigarets. “Hold on a minute. You’ve got me quite wrong. I wasn’t—if you’ll pardon the expression—keeping Miss De Marr. She came to me a few months ago with a hard luck story. “I was sorry for the girl. She’s something of a moron, you see. A pretty little thing, with the mentality, I should say, of a 12-year-old. And the sex appeal of a bom courtesan. You know the type. “Her mother, she said, had thrown her out. There’d been a bit of scandal and the old folks were pretty much upset. It may seem a bit Don Quixotic, but—well, to tell the truth—”

J. C. HUTZELL DRUGGIST

MR. to light a cigaret, and Ashtoreth scribbled “Don Quixotic” on the cover of her notebook. Something else to look up in the library. Ghastly how many things a girl didn’t know. Lots of people used the expression. She wondered if they all knew what it meant. He glanced at her quickly as she slipped her pencil back in place. But her hands were folded now as before, quietly in her lap. “My secretary,” he informed her surprisingly, “has a perfect passion for cats. A few months ago he suggested that we endow something-or-other for homeless felines. A hospital, I think it was—an asylum for indigent animals. Dogs, too, if I lemember correctly. He persuaded me to sign a check for SIO,OOO. “Well, he hadn’t been out of here ten minutes —with my check in his pocket—when in walks this little De Marr. Crying her eyes out. It was 6 o’clock. She’d waited, I suppose, until the rest of the girls had gone. I was waiting myself for a telephone call. “Now—l wonder if I can make myself clear—Mr. Higgins goes in, you see, for dr nb animals. Well, here was a dumb woman. And, if a flock of cats is worth SIO,OOO how much, I asked myself, is a woman worth? “If a man can endow a home for animals, to keep them off the streets, how about a girl? How much was it worth to keep her off the streets?” Mr. Hart paused. “A purely rhetorical question,” he assured her. “I was merely speculating. It’s puzzling—the relative value of things. Particularly when a man with a philanthropic bent acquires a great deal oi money. “Can you imagine, Miss Ashe, having so much money that it doesn’t make any difference—to me, I mean—whether I spend it on starving cats or foolish girls?” “You don’t really mean that?” she gasped. “Well,” he admitted, “there is more kick, of course, in spending it on girls. Cats are so undemonstrative, don’t you know. Anyhow I reckoned it would be more fun squandering, a few thousand on the little De Marr. A better return, you might say, on the investment.” “Oh.” Ashtoreth straightened unconsciously in her high-backed chair. “No,” he murmured, “I didn’t mean that at all. My word, you are a suspicious young person. My motives, I assure you, were entirely respectable. “Only I’d rather incur the gratitude of a pretty girl than the feline caresses of the best dam Maltese in Boston. An entirely masculine point of view. Perhaps you do not appreciate it, Miss Ashe.” “Oh, yes,” she retorted, “I quite understand.” “Miss de Marr,” he resumed, “talks a lot about the ‘modern girl.’ Now I wonder what it is, Miss Ashe, that makes people do that.” He smiled ingratiatingly, and Ashtoreth noticed the humorous little lift of an eyebrow. He was, really, she decided, quite charming. “You’d think,” he complained, “that she was an entirely new species. The newspapers prate of her, and the reformers. “And the best sellers are all about her. The general opinion seems to be that this so-called modern girl is a paragon of all the recent virtues. Honest, fearless, clear thinking. independent. “Personally, I’m beginning to think she’s a good deal of a fraud. It seems to me that she’s pretty proficient in most of the old-time vices. I might almost say that she practices them exclusively. “And this war cry of hers—‘lndependence and Equal Rights!” is rather a lot of hokum. However, Miss De Marr may be an exception, of course. That’s what I’d like you to tell me.” (To Be Continued.) Hollis Hart continues the story of his amazing philanthropy and the ingratitude of Mae De Marr, the girl of mystery. And Ashtoreth denies her mother! In the next chapter. OLD AGE PENSION LAW TO BE RECOMMENDED

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOOZE CHARGE FILED AGAINST COASTGUARD Fish Company Head Says Tug Was Fired on by Drunken Crew. Dp Times Special TOLEDO, Dec. B.—Charges of misconduct and drunkenness against the crew of a coast guard rum chaser will be made to Representative W. W. Chalmers and Secretary Mellon by R. E. Mills, manager of the Toledo Fish Company, Mills said today. Mlils will ask an investigation of circumstances surrounding the firing on one of his company’s tugs four miles off Monroe Piers, Mich., Nov. 24. In letters to Chalmers and Lieut. Martin W. Rasmussen, coast guard control officers, Mills charged that members of the crew fired on the tug with a machine gun without warning or provocation; that the crew staggered drunkenly about the fishing tug and a scow which it had in tow; and that one of the coast guard men was so drunk that he fell into the lake and was pulled out by the hair by a member of the fishing crew. Boat Escapes by Luck Mills says the fishing- boat in all probability would have been sunk by a shot from the one-pound gun aboard the cutter had not the gun fallen across the breech and been thrown off its mark just as it was fired. The letter states that the boarding party of coast guards admitted they had been drinking since they seized a load of liquor about a week before. Mills says that the first intimation the crew on the 30-foot gasoline tug had of the presence of tlie cutter was when a shower of machine gun bullets struck the deck. A heavy sea was running at the time he said, and it was difficult for the tug t" maneuver with the scow in tow. The fishermen, he says, then headed toward the cutter and were ordered to pull alongside, despite their protests that such a position was dangerous in a rough sea. Two Guardsmen Falls Into Lake Two of the coast guard men went aboard the tug and made a thorough search. Mills said, raising the hatches of the scow and finding nothing. It was during the search, he says, that the coast guardsmen fell into the lake. Ten minutes after they had been prmitted to pursue their course. Mills charges, the cutter again took after the tug, blew its whistle three times, and then fired before the fishermen could bring their craft to a stop.

MORROWWANTS TO KEEP POST ASOJNVOY Diplomatic Hero Understood Not to Be Anxious for Place in Cabinet. BY GESFORD F. FINE. United Pres* Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, Dec. B.—Dwight W. Morrow, United States ambassador, it is believed here, would prefer to remain at his post in Mexico rather than become secretary of state in the new Hoover administration. The mention of Morrow for this cabinet post has been persistent almost since the day of Hoover’s election. No statements for publication on the reports that the secretaryship of state would be offered to him have been made yet by Morrow, but it is known that he expects to stay in Mexico. Despite the immense amount of work done by the ambassador during his single year, he regards his task as only begun. Solves Many Problems Although the troublesome petroleum question was disposed of, many other problems affecting relations with the United States remain. The questions of a foreign debt settlement and the land as it affects foreign holdings are both on the ambassador’s agenda. In the debt matter especially, Morrow both because of his work Li Mexico and his past connection with J. P. Morgan’s, is considered almost second to none in his understanding of it. Aside from his interest in the program ahead of him. Morrow for a long time has had what his associates regard as a strong personal affection for Mexico, In return for his frankness with them and his open-handed policy. Mexicans of all classes and politics have been quick to respond in kind to the ambassador. /

Hero In Mexico On a recent trip through the southern section of the country, receptions accorded Morrow were the equal of those accorded revolutionary heroes. Under such conditions and with such a successful beginning, Morrow would be expected to think twice before giving up his present post. It is certain that the combination scholar-practical man which describes Morrow best has looked far ahead and does not wish to see his work undone by alien hands. / CALVES LIVER N I Saute, the doctor nay*.
