35. "When I speak of beauty,” says this artist, who has lived and studied for twenty years in Paris, “I don't mean the mere tomboy virility of Clara Bow, the pink and white wistfulness of Dolores Costello, nor the charming innocence of Mary Brian. I mean true beauty, beauty which is like wine to a drunkard. "Mere prettiness satiates a man. That is why you have divorces, desertions, murders and suicides. And mere prettiness satiates a moving picture audience as well. That is the reason so many cinema stars rise and flare out like skyrockets. "But true beauty can hold the love of a man and the loyalty of an audience indefinitely. For it is composed of so much spiritual, mental and physical stimulant that a man wakes up each morning with something new and emotionally absorbing to which he may look forward. And an audience comes into a theater day after day, sure of satisfying its unquenchable thirst for lasting loveliness.” * * * "OAR AH BERNHARDT possessed such beauty,” in Warshawsky’s opinion. "Lily Langtry, too. And yet I feel perfectly certain if any of these two women were alive today and entered a moving picture beauty contest, they would be turned down cold. "The reason there are no beautiful women on the moving picture screen—with the possible exceptions I mentioned—is that no woman is beautiful until she is 35, So terrible is the tired business man’s fetish for youth that most movie actresses have lost out by the time Ihey are 35. "Naturally, feeling as I do, you can understand why little beauty exists for me on the screen. However, three women in pictures in-

Gandhi Leads Rebels of India in Defiance March

Bit United Press AHMEDABAD, India, March 12.—Mahatma Gandhi, India’s peaceful revolutionist, set forth afoot today at the head of a small band of devoted followers on one of the strangest but most gripping pilgrimages

of Indian history. Emerging at dawn from Ashram, a college near Ahmedabad, Gandhi and his seventy-nine chosen adherents began their march to Jalalpur, where they will refine salt, in open defiance of British law. As Gandhi came from the Ashram. with his volunteers, a mighty shout arose from a crowd estimated at 100.00 C. Several simple ceremonies preceded the pilgrimage. An Indian woman presented Gandhi a hors%—the horse that will accompany the expedition "if any man should fall sick and have to be carried.” Cheering crowds hampered first paces of the marchers. There was one strangely pathetic, or amusing, event in connection with the start. The volunteer band began the first bars of "God Save the King,” but was promptly stopped by the protest of rebellious shouts. It was generally believed Gandhi would be arrested immediately upon reaching the Kaira district, twelve mlies from Ahmadabad. If Gandhi is taken from the movement his place will be assumed by

Abbas Tayabja, noted former judge of the supreme court of Baroda. If he, in turn, is arrested, Gandhi's private secretary, Chaman Lai Joshie, will carry on the work.

SEEKS PABDGN FOB OR. COOK Editor Takes Stand Backing Paroled Explorer. Bn United Press ATCHISON, Kan., March 12. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, 65-year-old explorer and author, who was freed from the federal prison at Leavenworth Sunday on parole, has “made atonement and should be pardoned,” according to the Atchison Globe, Gene Howe’s Kansas newspaper. "Why hamper the old man with certain restrictions'?” an editorial in the Globe asked, referring to the necessity for Dr. Cook to report to the government once a month until the end of his parole period in 1935, and his inability to move from place to place without permission. The newspaper wired Senators Arthur Capper and Henry J. Allen and Representative W. P. Lambertson of Kansas asking that ihey exert influence to obtain a pardon for the aging man who has tasted world-wide praise as well as a fiveyear confinement in prison on conviction of using the mails to defraud in connection with promotion of an oil field in Texas. The Globe points out that the oil properties Dr. Cook sold are reported to have "become valuable almost to the point of vindicating his original sales talk.” POISON I CANDY SENDER RELEASED TO SISTER Jay County Man Plead?

She gives us mental, spiritual, esthetic stimulation. a a a ‘npHE second screen star whom I consider really beautiful is Lily Damita. Lily, I know, is only in her twenties, but she has beauty for me, because being a war child of Europe, the hard work and trouble she has suffered have distilled in her a real beauty —a flame which I think will last as long as Lily breathes. "Bebe Daniels is the third wornam. I didn’t formerly consider her possessing the elements of beauty when they used to star her in hoydenish, comedienne roles.

DOHENY DEFEATED IN TRIAL SKIRMISH

Oil Man’s Pleas Rejected at Hearing on Lease Bribe Charge. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, March 12.—E. L. Doheny, millionaire oil man, lost the first round in his fight against a bribery indictment today when Justice "William Hitz rejected two special pleas in abatement filed by Doheny's counsel. The pleas asserted that a jury already has acquitted Doheny in connection with the SIOO,OOO transaction with former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall, for which Doheny now is being tried. The action cleared the way for selection of a jury to try the charge that Doheny in 1921 gave Fall SIOO,000 with intent to influence his official actions in favors of Doheny’s oil lease applications. By the pleas rejected today, Doheny’s lawyers began laying the foundation for an appeal in case of conviction. In the trial of Fall, who was convicted several months ago of accepting a bribe, Justice Hitz, rejected an almost identical plea, and this action is one of the grounds of an appeal now being prosecuted by Fall. Justice Hitz announced that the jury, when selected, would be locked up for the duration of the trial. Eight men and four women were called into the box and the process of picking a jury began immediately. Four women including one Negro, were tentatively placed on the jury box when the court recessed. At that time, the government, had used six peremptory challenges and the defense the same number. SULLIVAN FUNERAL IS SET FOR THURSDAY Rites at St. Anthony’s Scheduled for Former School Officer.

POLITICIANS IN TAILSPIN OVER PIVOT STATES Party Leaders Cast Hawk’s Eyes at Pennsylvania, Illinois Primaries. VIEWED AS BAROMETERS Senatorial Skirmishes Are Battle Lines of Next Presidential Race. B// Peripps.Howard Xewspapcr Alhanf* WASHINGTON, March 12.—Political developments in Pennsylvania and Illinois senatorial contests today warned national politicians they face a three-month period of primary battles which will have a deep effect on the next Congress and the next presidential campaign. On April 8, Illinois Republicans will decide whether they will renominate Senator Deneen or throw him over for Representative Ruth McCormick, who now is waging a hot fight to unseat her late husband’s old foe. Secretary Davis is expected to decide soon whether he will enter the G. O. P. primaries in Pennsylvania as a rival candidate against Senator Grundy, who is expected to have the support of Senator Reed and the machine. The Pennsylvania situation is clarified somewhat by authentic reports that William S. Vare, barred from the .senate because of excessive expenditures in the 1926 primary, will abandon his comeback effort and throw his support to Davis. Friends of Vare fear his physical condition can not stand the severity of a heated campaign and are bringing pressure to bear on his withdrawal. Have Troubles of Own Though these controversies are the major ones, the two other senatorial groups—Democrats and insurgents—have troubles of their own. It is predicted that many old scars wiU be reopened in the next few months, as contending candidates clash over such current issues as prohibition, public utilities, the tariff, farm relief, the Democrats’ disastrous defeat in 1928 and the whys thereof, the progressives’ revolt against t.ho administration and the Hoover record. Ex-Governor Pinchot’s decision to seek the Republican nomination for Governor in Pennsylvania means that prohibition and the socalled "power trust” will be hotly debated in at. least one eastern contest. In the west the elections, which involve members of the coalition as well as administration senators, are expected to turn on the tariff, farm relief and general insurgency. Coalitionists up for re-election are Senators Norris of Nebraska, Borah of Idaho. McMaster of South Dakota, Bratton of New Mexico and Walsh of Montana. Norris’ candidacy may lead to a free-for-all battle between progressives and conservatives, as there have been reports that the stalwarts, who expect the support of the administration, are grooming Samuel R. MrKelvie, former Governor and member of the farm board, to run as Norris’ opponent. The other insurgents look for little opposition” Ghosts to Walk Ghosts of the 1928 campaign will confront the Democrats in several states. In Alabama, Senator Heflin has started legal action to prevent the Democratic organization from barring him from the primary as punishment for his support of Hoover. Should the decision go against him, Heflin may run as an independent. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who was Smith's running mate, and Senator Glass of Virginia, who indorsed the New York Governor, also must stamp out rebellion among Democrats who resented their support of the New York wet. Cannon in Fight Though defeated in the gubernatorial fight. Bishop Cannon is expected to try to marshal his forces against Glass. Simmons of North Carolina, who revolted against his party’s national ticket, is up for reelection, but no organized opposition has been started against him. In states like Massachusetts and New Jersey, the Republicans are fearful the prohibition and unemployment issues may hurt their candidates. Ambassador Morrow will seek election in New Jersey and William M. Butler, former national chairman, is one of the G. O. P. candidates in the Bay state. Neither has announced his position on prohibition, and, in view of Hoover’s stand on this subject, politicians are awaiting their pronouncement with interest.
