Once Upon a Time there were two young women who would Run a Dead Heat in any Beauty Contest. One of the Twain had been Born on the Stage while her Parents were Dou- bling in Brass back in the old Rep days and she had been known as a Stage Vet since she was Half-Past- Six. And she had Stuck to Acting much as Flypaper Sticketh to Fur Rug, and was considered Pretty Good.

RIGHT OF WHOLESALER
 UPHELD BY COURTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. PA whole saler can without violating any law give notice to a manufacturer that he will discontinue dealing with him unless the manufacturer ceases sell ing directly to retailers in the whole salers territory or pays him a regular wholesalers commission on such busi- i- ness.
 This was clearly demonstrated to- day as representing the views of the supreme court in it's hearing of a case brought by the federal trade commission against Raymond Broth : CTS, Clark company of Nebraska. After counsel for the government had concluded it's argument the court, which had poured upon him a flood of questions, was so satisfied that the practice complained of by the commission was not in violation of law that it refused to hear counsel for the Raymond Brothers, Clark company.
 The case presented a trade oues- ton of unusual interest to manufac- turers, wholesalers and retailers. The federal trade commission charged that the Raymond Brothers, Clark company, wholesalers had notified a manufacturing concern that unless i+ ceased selling directly to the Basket Stores company of Nebraska and Iowa retailers, or give it the regular wholesale discount on all business with the Basket Stores company. it would discontinue doing business with the manufacturers. The commission, insisted that this constituted unfair competition and was in violation Of the federal trade commission act

WOMAN TESTIFIES IN FLOGGING CASE
Keller Nasty And His Two Brothers To Face Trial
 Later At Marietta
Nov. 27.-Testi

MARIETTA, Nov. 27.-Testimony of Mrs Bertha Holcombe, young wd- ow, the first witness to be called in the first of what promises a long series of chapters in the case of six Cobb county men charged with as sault and battery in connection with the alleged flogging on the night of November 1G of Mrs. Holcombie, was completed here today.
 Parks c. Cook of smyrna, Ga, the first of the defendants to be tried in the severance of the cases, was identified by Mrs. Holcombe, accord ing to her testimony as one of the masked men who composed the flos ging party.
 There are two indictments against each of the six men. They are charged in separate indictments with the flog gng of Mrs. Holcombe and her es- cort, s. S. Norton of Atlanta. The five other men indicted are Keller Nasty, pitcher of the Philadelphia Americans, his two brothers, Arthur and Frank, Tom Black and Joe Bram- lett. The remaining trials are sched- uled to take place following the Cook trial
 Mrs Holcombe declared that Cook sobbed violently during the automo- bile ride to the wooded spot where the flogging is alleged to have been administered.
 T first recognized him. she said when he raised his mask to wipe the tears from his eyes"
 A mild sensation was produced late today when Attorney John T. Dorsey, for the defense, asked while cross-ex- amining Mrs. Holcombe:
 Are you the same Mrs. Holcombe who was in jail in Chattanooga some time ago?"
 ''No, sir; am not" she replied.
 T have never been in jail"

British . Fans Hear

LONDON. Nov. 27.-Hundreds Of British radio fans got theiir ears full of American accents at 3 o'clock this morning when programs broadcast by at least a half dozen stations in the United States were picked up by re- ceiving sets on this side of the ocean. Radio publications in London have been receiving letters and telegrams all day from amHteurs who sacrificed their sleep to hear America" Most of the listeners reported the atmos- pheric conditions were extremely bad, but in spite of this fact several of the amatehrs in London, Elkestone anu elsewhere were able to hear most of what was said, sung or played by the Yankee broadcasters. One sub urbinate reported he had picked up the General Electric company's s schenectady station, heard the star Spangled Banner" then a speech by Owen D. Young on world peace and Lloyd Georges visit and then God Save The King" The reports are be- ing analysed to determine which sta tion in America obtained the best transmission across the world,
