WOMEN BARRED AS DRY AIDS IN NEWEST DEGREE Edict to Go Further Than Anti-Decoy Order, Says Woodcock. fi/i United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 Prohibition Director Woodcock announced today that orders soon will be issued to all prohibition administrators forbidding the use of women as aids in the enforcement of prohibition. Woodcock banned the use of women as decoys some time ago, but instances in which women were reported to have purchased liquor to aid agents in making cases continued. The new order, Woodcock said, will go further than his antidecoy rule. Under the contemplated regulations, prohibition agents would be forbidden the company of women in gathering evidence against night clubs or in any other enforcement activity. It long has been the custom of enforcement officers in larger cities to enter a night club with a woman and in the guise of a visitor to purchase forbidden beverages if they were for sale. Night clubs sometimes are reluctant to admit men unless accompanied by women. “No Place at All” “I have decided,” Woodcock said, “that women should have no place at all in enforcing prohibition. I think we can enforce prohibition without the use of women in any way. 1 ’ He said he now is drafting his orders and they will go forward In a few days. The new orders were prompted by reports, particularly from New York, that dry agents were taking women with them to night clubs. “I think this system had certain advantages in gaining admission to night clubs and certain places where liquor was sold,” he said, “but I have decided that this also will be forbidden henceforth.” Orders St. Louis Probe Woodcock said he had no criticism of Prohibition Administrator Maurice McCampbell of New York for permitting such tactics by his agents, as the federal bureau hitherto had not interfered with the practice and had issued no instructions against it. As enforcement tactics which he does not consider wise are brought to his attention, he explained, he orders them stopped. He said he had ordered a thorough investigation into charges made by Representative Karch (Dem., 111.) that agents in East St. Louis were using “lewd women” in enforcement and associating with them. HAIR NET SALES BOOM Corset Makers, Too, See Ray of Hope; Those Hats Do It. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—What with corset manufacturers looking more cheerful these days, and the hair net makers coming out of an enforced retirement, it is not entirely impossible that the bustle creators may take anew grip on life. While it may be a far cry from hats to bustles, nevertheless the influence of these Empress Eugenie hats, accessory manufacturers say, may extend to unforeseen lengths. Harry Glemby, sailing tonight for Europe, made the glad announcement that “hair net sales for the month of July were up 30 per cent.” URGES CONGRESS CALL William Green Wants Hoover to Order Special Session Now.

THIS PLAY MAKES ! ONE FEEL BETTER Judith Lowry, Dick Elliott, Freddie Sherman, Mildred Hastings and Frances Dale Are Fine in “Skidding.” * BY' WALTER D. HICKMAN AM going to rave over this splendid mess of fine fun, called “Skidding.” Am raving over it because Judith Lowry plays a mother role with that splendid knowing touch of faith and dumbness. Still raving over it because Freddie Sherman gets under the skin of a juvenile part and makes it live as only few men can. Still raving because Dick Elliott makes a “Grandpa” so much human that he comes dam near walking away with the honors. This man knows how to get into the hearts.of an audience. His makeup is far from perfect this week but the hokum of his appeal makes him a classic. And he knows how to walk. How to talk. Well, Elliott is nearly perfect in his audience appeal.

And that is something. We will not forget Mildred Hastings who rises to a family row scene that is a classic. Jack Stroey is miscast or uncertain in a judge-

husband role. The cast includes Frances Dale, Frances Busby, Donald Woods, Yvonne, Stebbins and Walter Davis. The play is just a natural family row over the ambitions of the several members of one family. It is mother who rises to the great heights when she exclaims that the whole bunch can go to the dogs

Realism? No. Satisfaction? Yes. Now at English’s. tt tt tt HERE IS A CHARACTER THAT IS RIGHT About the best thing that Chic Sale has ever done on the stage is to be an old man and a very old one with not too many manners. The fact is, “The Star Witness”

when you get all over the gang mess background, is just a monolog on the part of Chic Sale. It is not a good picture from a technical standpoint, but it is mighty good hokum theater. Sale walks away with the picture as the old army man. Sale is really the keynote to the human impossible melodrama

in this story. And it will hold you right in your seat. It is an audience picture on the part of Chic Sale. Somebody must have expected a lot from Walter Huston, but Chic Sale walks away with the proceedings. And if it was not for Sale and Dickey Moore this one would be a bad one. Here is hokum melodramatic theater and as such on the part of Sale is interesting theater. Beyond that—nothing. Now at the Lyric. u u tt Other theaters today offer:

BENDIX DEVICE WORKSJMCH Auto Industry Inspects ‘Revolutionary Gadget.’ By United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Aug. 25.-A revolutionary device, called more important to the automobile industry than the self-starter or fourwheel brakes, is being inspected by automobile manufacturers here today. The invention, developed by the Bendix Aviation Corporation, represents development of an idea whereby automobiles may be shifted from one gear to another without manual operation. Control of the gears will hinge entirely upon the accelerator, Bendix engineers say, add-

ing that “the left foot has lost Its driving Job.” Engineers explained that the invention, which operates on a vacum principle, will bring an era of clutchless automobiles when the accelerator is released, the gears are
