but she seemed prettily unconscious
OF her outrageous bonnet.
The director said nothing at the
time, but the next day when she ap-
peared with an even more grOtesqUe
hat, he took her aside, with the idea
OF finding out where in heavens

not long before he discovered he had
found an extraordinary personality.
1 will not give you that girls name,
but some of you may recognize her.
At the end Of the season, the Hbret-
fist had written in a whole number
for her alOne-a number in which
she won a name as comedienne, for
the amusing and ridiculous hats
which she changed every minute.
She had profited by her own excen-
tricity, in the analysis of which there
is the basic reason for more than
one big success.
A few seasons ago. due to the pub
lie craze for horse racing. a new
style was created by the chorus
girls striking manner Of wearing a
certain hat. The first appearance of
this fad was in the Midnight Fronc,
wherein I had a special number Of
jockey girls. AS a chorus number TO
the act, we had designed a number
of women's hats round in the back
with large visOrs. and all covered
with tulle,-a modification Of the
real jockey cap. but really very sug-
gestive OF it, Well, it as not five
months before every milliner on
Broadway had initiated the design
and the hats became a common style

Patches For the Shoulder.
Readers may recall the summer

wear was all the vogue. II had its
origin I'm the chorus, and this is how
it all happened.
one evening, in popular Broad
way show. six girls were getting
dressed for a dinner gown set. The
costumes were very beautiful, though
cut extremely low. one girl, dressed
before the rest. took her companions
eyebrow pencil, and in a moment of
mischievOusness, drew a raven on
the girls back. II was roughly done.
TO be sure. but when the girl moved
her shoulder muscle, the wings rose
and fell as IL the bird were in flight.
The girls had a good laugh as the
tatOOed one walked on with the bird
still painted on her white shoulder.
Ii created a good deal OF mirth, and
when the comedian took the cue and
referred 10 it, the audience was en-
thralled with the new idea. That

and the novelty had a brief but hec-

The swagger stick for women,
though not widely adapted on this
side OF the water. started in the Lon

Chorus beauties. dressed in khaki, or

cipIes and practices.
The proposals to be voted on are;

Administrative authorities within
limits prescribed by Congress for the
purpose OF maintaining "A consistent

PITTSBURGH. Dec. 14.-Coming
as result Of overwhelming senti-
ment expressed at regional confer
ences, according TO the Rev. c. r.
zahniser, secretary OF the Federated
Council Of Churches of Pittsburgh,
a decision not to encourage or to
lend financial support TO evangelists
has been reached. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the council to refuse to share
responsibility or expense with cam
paisns OF the Billy Sunday or Gypsy
Smith type in the future.
According to the opinions voiced
at these sectional conferences, the
last OF which was held at Sharps-
burg Friday night. the evangelistic
campaigns OF tho type under disap-
proval ARE too high-prlced. too
much commercialized, obso'ete,

As an alternative. a program OK
personal evangelism and the iuaug-
uration OF an optional course OF
Bible study in the public schools is
suggested. The conference repre-
sents the opinion Of about 500 Prot
estant churches IN Allegheny county.
That stand. said DIR. zahniser.
has been taken as a result OF over
whelming sentiment expressed in a
series of ten sectional conferences.
where representatives OF more than
800 Allegheny County Protestant
churches voiced opinions and de-
sires. The reports from all of those
sessions urge that professionals"
should not be brought to Pittsburgh
and that a system Of personal
evangelism" be inaugurated as a
countrywide movement. The find
ings are the general opinion OF Prot

WEEKLY WAGES DROP
45C. IN ~. Y. FACTORIES

ALBANY, Aug. 25.-Av-rage weekly
earnings of factory workers in New
York State declined As cents from June
to July, according to a statement issued
to-day by Industrial Commissioner
Henry D. Sayer of the State Depart
ment OF Labor. The average weekly
earning of factory workers in July
was s25.26. or s3.67 less than in oc-
tober, 1920.
Special inquiry was made by the de-
partment regarding the extent OF wage
reductions in factories. Five hundred
plants, employing more than 100000
workers, reported wage reductions Of
varying amounts, and 200 factories,
with about 5000 employees. stated that
there had been no wage cuts in their
plants.
Nearly every manufacturing indus
try In the State was represented In the
reports of reductions. Most of the wage
cuts ranged from 10 TO % per cent. and
none exceeded 40 per cent.
A considerable part of the decrease
of average earnings in July was due
TO reduced wages. and reduction In
working time also was an important
factor.

SHORTS GET CAUGHT,
PUTTING WHEAT UP
Effect on Cotton of Rural
Credits Law Starts Buying
Rally at Finish.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-A strong finish
after a generally duh start distinguished
to-day's dealings Oh the Chicago Board
OF Trade. Net gains were recorded in all
options, wheat advancing to 2&c.,
corn IL to sc, oats Is to Sc, and pro-
visions from 21a to 22i2c., with lard
a leader and ribs tagging.
Little activity marked the early wheat
market. Fears that the new Capper-
Tincher law might restrict trading in
futures served to offset the signing of
the War Finance bill with its provisions
for agricultural export loans. A factor
was an early stagnation In export trade,
when sellers asked u cent more than
the seaboard was willing to pay for
shipments by way of Buffalo and
Georgian Bay ports.
Timidity of buyers over the Capper-
Tincher law was overcome later. and
considerable buying of small lots re-
suited. Then the pit element noted the
advance in cotton. due to the rural
credits law and sought to buy, but the
surplus had been taken out of the mar
ket, shorts had trouble in covering. and
q rather strong rally carried prices
about cents above the days low figure
Corn showed a strong undertone be-
cause of the cash situation, the indus
trial demand in the sample market being
good, and bids TO arrive on thirty day
shipments advancing "a cent. Oats
We're dull, but held well in sympathy
with corn and the late strength In wheat.
Provisions We're inclined to sag early
in sympathy with the live hog market,
but gained strength when packers and
