MEN RAPIDLY SWELL CANDY EATINGRANKS National Convention of Confectioners Told of Increase. WOMEN'S TASTE VARIED Sweet Tooth of Stage, Screen and Singing Stars Revealed. F v ol WEST BADEN SPRINGS. Ind.. June 3.—‘Don't forget the men," was the advice given to the candy trade here today by L C. Blunt, of Denver, president of the National Confectioners’ Association, at its forty-sixth annual convention, which opened here today. "There is no doubt,” said Blunt, "that the masculine sweet tooth is -tpadily grow ing sweeter. If we could make a census of the candy in consumers’ hands at this moment, we would find most of it not in the boudoir and the shopping bag, but in the pockets of overalls and golf coats, in the working mans dinner pail, and on the desk of the busy executive. Candy has become a food of he-men—and the “he’er" they are the more they eat. "Retailers located near flying fields say that, aviators are their' best, customers. An air mail pilot j told me recently that he never j leaves the ground w ithout a supply | of candy in the pocket of his flying suit, and that this is true of all ! the fliers he knows. Lindbergh, according to newspapers, is very fond ! nf candy. Byrd, as you know, took ! several thousands of pounds of randy with him to the Antarctic. All Like Sweets "The white collar man' and the. j artisan are brothers in this respect. During the recent strenuous nerve- | racking days in the New York fin- j ancia! district,, at the close of the stock exchange, an army of office j workers poured into the streets and ; raided the nearby confectionery j stands. A confectionery store located near a. new constriction job in Chicago doubled its sales while the work was going on and iron and steel workers, steam fitters, carpenters and others came in every day. A survey made in Chicago among drug stores and confectionery sTiods : showed that two-thirds of all the steady candy customers were men.” Fashion devotees can spare themselves anv worry over the "correct” \ thing in candy eating. Results of j a survey which will be reported at 1 the convention indicate that the j American woman favors a wide variety in her confectionery, style,” I the big word at many trade conventions. gets little attention here. , because it takes all kinds and many . kinds of candy to satisfy the great j American sweet, tooth. These conclusions are based upon returns from a questionnaire addressed to fifty feminine stars of stage and screen who were asked to reveal, without reference to brands or manufacturers' names,! their favorite candv. Individually i the answers decided preferences but, j in the aggregate, a wide variety of i tastes. Lenore Ulric. star of Belasco sue- j cesses. declares for chocolate creams Demure Claiborne Foster prefers j caramels. Dorothy Stone givesj "♦hree cheers" for chocolate creams. Bobbie Arnst says she likes glace’ I fruit and hard candies. Vivian Tobin votes for cocoanut candy. Ona Mun- j son would rather have bitter sweet ! chocolate creams than any other j kind. Evelyn Herbert likes caramels best. Assorted chocolates please j Erin OBrien-Moore. Actress Eat Tofff* Out in Hollywood tastes are even more varied. Clara Bow takes toffee and peanut brittle. Janet Gaynor prefers chocolate covered but- 1 terscotch. Colleen Moore's eyes j sparkle at the thought, of toffee. Norma Shearer, too. likes toffee best. I So does Nancy Carroll. Lois Moran votes for caramels and chocolate j creams. Esther Ralston is fond of ; peanut brittle and taffy, two candies j almost as blonde as she is. Eleanor ; Boardman likes chocolate and nut 1 combinations. So do Jacqueline j Logan and Lina Basquette. It’s caramels for Frances Lee. Joan Crawford's favorites are chocolates and glace fruits. Lupe Velez calls for caramels. Corinne t Griffith says she is fond of sweets j of all kinds. Best of all. to her way j of thinking, are the “chewy” can- j dies such as nougats, caramels and j toffee.

Singers’ Favorites Grace Moore, prima donna soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company. likes nut candy and chocolate covered caramels. Bitter sweet chocolates and caramels for Pilly Walker; chocolates and hard candies for Doris Eaton: nut chocolates for Sylvia Field, Patti Harrold and Adelaide Kendall: chocolate peppermints for Kay Johnson; chocolate coated wintergreen candy for Juliette Day: chocolate creams for Jeanette MacDonald: bonbons for Janet McLeay; chocolates of all kinds for Barbara Stanwyck; bittet chocolates with cream and nut centers for Susanne Willa; nut chocolates for Norma Lee Nugent and Marjorie Wood.

It's a far cry from the brilliant stage of the Metropolitan Opera. Company to the peaceful seclusion of a Kansas wheat farm, but Marion Talley, retiring at 22, hopes to find happiness there, amid her horses and chickens and by improving the lot of neighboring Kansas housewives. She is pictured above, against a typical wheat field panorama. 6’;/ -YF.I Service KANSAS CITY. Kan., June 3 Picture a vast expanse of land a mile square, flat as the top of a table, without a tree or a, little knoll, or a bush or a house or a running brook to break its empty evenness —and you have the farm to which Marion Talley is retiring from the Metropolitan Opera Company at. the age of 22 with the fortune she has accumulated. This farm. 360 acres of land near Colby, Kan., far in the southwestern corner of the state, is typically Kansas.l.rvcl, treeless, unbroken — but rich black dirt everywhere. Idea! land for wheat, dropped down in the heart of the. greatest wheat region in the world—Miss Talley won’t need the income from the money her voice has brought her. This land can support her. Sentiment. Swings Choice Perhaps it was only fitting that the songbird from Kansas should pick a. typical Kansas farm. But there was another reason, likewise sentimental. It was in the immediate vicinity of this farm that Charles R. Talley. Marian father, met and wooed her mother. Mrs. Talley. Miss Talley says she will live on this farm "forever." ' Os course. I'll 4iave horses and chickens and flowers.” she says. "But most, important of all I’ll have the surroundings in which my father and mother fell in love and plighted their troth and finally joined their hands in marriage." Always she can close her eyes and see a vision of her father and mother when they were young. Will Start House Soon In about two months Miss Talley will begin to build her house. It will be a modest, farm home, equipped with all modern conveniences, especially in the kitchen. Miss Talley rather hopes that she can prov to Kansas farmers that their wives might just as well have the comforts and laborsaving devices of their city sisters. She plans to visit among them and encourage the comforts and conveniences of city life and make her home a model in this respect. "Farm homes for years have been behind city homes in comfort." she explains. "But we can have just as comfortable a home out here in the country as in any city. "It’s only a mile from a hardsurfaced highway. It’s only six hours by motor from Denver, and fourteen to Kansas City. We’ll have seme nice rides."

Profane Parrot Pains Ponderous Policemen Bu Times Special SOUTH BEND. Ind.. June 3.—The South Bend police force is being worried by livestock and a swearing parrot. A stray horse that roamed through the business district without a wagon or harness caused a loss of forty pounds in weight of policemen who pursued. Next, eighteen monkeys escaped from Playland Park pavilion. "Call the police!” yelled the manager. The police came. The prospect of chasing monkeys through the treetops in the hope that they could be landed in butterfly nets failed to bring much enthusiasm. More weight went by the board. The latest disturber is a parrot—a very bad parrot. He took his position in the branches of a tree in the most select section of the city and called each passerby names that could have been learned only from a sailor on a hog boat. But the police refuse to budge. Meanwhile, residents in the district have plugged their ears and children are forbidden in the streets. The parrot may some day surrender. It is probab'e that he will be tried for public profanity, contributing to the delinquency of righteous citizens and disturbance. According to police, who are positive that if he calls the judge one-half of the names he has honest folk minding their own business, he will get the electric chair. *

‘CRATED’ TO FAME

‘Crashes’ Movies in Wooden Box

HOLLYWOOD, June 3.—Those who want to crash the ga s es of Hollywood’s motion picture studios might try Charles Loeb’s method of making a trip from Chicago to Los Angeles in an express car. nailed up in a wooden box and labeled “statue—handle with care —value $500." , . , Loeb, 28 -year-old German youth, survived such a jaunt, and white he is in the Culver City jail today he apparently is going to get his long-sought chance in the films when he gets out. First, however, the United States government wants him to explain bis alleged violation of the interstate commerce laws. After months in which he failed to get even an interview with a casting director, Loeb, disheartened, went to Chicago. There, he conceived “the great idea” and had a friend. Fritz Straube, nail him in the crate and consign it to the Pat he studios in Culver City.

Loeb chuckled as he dreamed how. inside the studio walls, he would leap out of the box, and, before the startled casting director could say anything, proceed to demonstrate his acting ability. a tt & ALL might have gone well had he not started his climatic actions prematurely. He thought he had made the whole trip and was in the studio and shouted, “Hey. you, out there,” to attract attention. When the box was opened he discovered that he was still in the express room and that, his reception committee was not casting directors and studio officials, but policemen, big and burly, summoned by the startled station agent. Out fell Loeb. clothed for business. He wore a stiff collar, checkered trousers, soft-soled dancing shoes, a, derby hat, a flowing tie and his cheeks were rouged and his eyes painted. He was ready for the show, but found the wrong audience. His crate had all the comforts of a, home. There was a, mirror at the head of the box, A makeup case, a small suit case and a flashlight were found. a *r * LOEB talked it over ruefully today. He said it had been a pretty hard trip, but he was cheered up when told that Harry Leavitt, assistant general manager of the studio, thought his stunt certainly ■was unique and was going to help him out.” Loeb said his trip nearly ended before it had got fairly under way when someone in the Chicago station stood him on his head for four hours in spite of the fact that he purposedly had pointed the ends of the crate. elks” drive organized Perry Heads Campaign to Raise 5500.000 for Lodge.

Six damage suits resulting from the Sahara Grotto crossing crash here in October, 1927, which were dismissed in Madison circuit court Friday, will be refiled in Marion county courts this week.

Suits were filed in the Madison court to collect damages for the estates of five men who were killed in the intururban-trailer crash and for one occupant or the bus who escaped with injuries.
