MISS WIRELESS IS
LOUDLY ACCLAIMED
Georgia Song Bird Makes Ire
mendous Hit at Her Initial
Appearance in This City Last
Night.

Miss Gladys Wheless, beautiful and
gifted Southern singer captivated a
large audience at The Grand last
night, in program of musical charm.
The Womanss Club sponsored her
premiere performance and provided
an evening of rare musical delight to
those who heard it.
The. young artist was dressed in a.
Paris gown of blue panne velvet rich
ly inwrought with rhinestones and
pearls.
The opening number of the pro-
gram was 'fVezzozette care" by An
drea Falconiere, and this was follow
ed by other songs, the group conclud-
ing with 'Lindy," Southern song en-
Enthusiastically received, as an encore.
The three songs of Edward Grieg's,
"The Princess" "In Boat" and
"Thanks For Thy Hand" were well
given.
The climax of the program came
with the singing of There is No
Death" and "Song of the Open"
which gave Miss Wheless more scope
for showing her colorful voice with
dramatic turn.
Miss Wheless' voice is of exquisite
sweetness and its fiexibifity lends
itself to many variations of tone and
expression. A charming air of CO.
uuetry was expressed in the little
French song, "Bonjour Suzon," by Leo
Delibes.
Altogether, the program was one or
delightful arrangement and was pleas
ing enough to impress the audience
with the knowledge that Georgia has
added another artist to the musical
world of which the State and the
South is proud. She has had careful
training in New York and Paris. I

Bethlehem Rumor Denied.

Coincident with recent heavy selling
of Bethlehem Steel shares has been the
circulation Of the rumor that the direc-
tors of the Bethlehem Steel Company
have decided to pass the next quarterly
dividend on both classes of its common
stock. Inside interests characterized
yesterday the rumor as ridiculous, as
serting that only recently the stock had
sold ex dividend and that the company's
directors would not meet again for divi-
dend action until August In the first
five months of this year. 1t was said,
the company earned S4.500,000, al
though its dividend requirements for the
full year are but s6,0O0,000. The steel
business Is admittedly bad with the cor
poration, MS Ii is with every other in

ing in very satisfactory manner ac-

Business Exceedingly Good.

In announcing the dividend on Corn
Products shares. E. T. Bedford. presi-
dent of the Corn Products Refining
Company. said that its earnings in
the second quarter justified the con-
tinuation of its present dividend. Busi-
ness, he said. was exceedingly good,
both in volume and profits. The COM
pany's foreign relations had improved
greatly and were stronger than ever
before, because the company had es-
tabished its own plants and offices
abroad, Mr.. Bedford added. There had
been a mistaken idea that the profits
of the company We're contingent on the
price of sugar, he continued. whereas
In the most prosperous year that the
company ever had sugar was selling at
cents a pound. At that time, he
said, the company had made propor-
tionately greater earnings than when
