HOLLYWOOD, Mar. IL
Dimples in the checks, in the
elbows. or-er even in the knees,
arc oft times considered quite
auuring. But not the nose.
!. SO believes Mrs. Sidney Chap
lin. wife of the film comedian
and sistee-in-law of the one and
only Charley.
In a suit or file today Mrs.
Chaplin demands 100000 from
DR.. Robert Griffith, Los An
geles plastic surgeon, claiming
that she hired him to make her
nc1e more attractive, ard he
did quite the contrary.
Mrs. Chaplin alleges that DR..
Griffith was negligent; that she
underwent three operations
without success, suffering much
pain the while, and' as a result,
her nose is dimpled permanently
right on the end, where it ought
to curve the nicess, and it tips
downward in a careless manner.

 The average guess of 77 members of New York Cotton exchange as to con- dition of crop 55.3. Predictions are that the British labor government will likely fall tomorrow for want of a vote of confidence, but if 1t materializcs, 1t will not likely exert much influence on the market, as no great amount Of uneasi- ness seems to be felt in London where English consols closed 67, only h off, on the day.
 Liverpool cables indicate that Lam cashire spinners again decided today to continue short time in mills using American cotton, but the large forward ings of American cotton from Liverpool to English mills last week. 32,000 against 22,OOO for corresponding week last year, probably denotes that the short time program Is not being followed to the letter.
 Tomorrow's weekly weather and crop or one hour before the government crop forecast, will probably be favorable, in which event values may dip tenn porarily, but a nervous and cratic mar ket is probable thereafter until the of- ficial crop predictions is issued.-H. & B.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT LOEw,s BIJOU

The Metro Goldwyn week celebration at Loew's Bijou is proving great suc- cess, judging from the crowds of mo- vie fans who are being entertained with the showing of One Night In Rome," super Metro-Goldwyn, star ring Laurette Taylor, Tom Moore and other equally famous stars.
 "The Barber of Seville" vaudeville headliner, with its comedy, music anu especially its ''songs up to date," is also scoring a hit and evidently the audiences want more of it, judging from the many curtain calls at several of the performances. Joe Burns ant Murray Kissem in "Stromberry Pie manage to draw many good laughs with their eccentricities and Mildred Rogers md Jack Dorkin in their exhibition of dancing and graceful acting have a fine opener for the bill.
 Some comedy of all kinds os varieties is also offered by Jack Ryan and Bee O'Neill in "Capering Cunningly With Cute Cutups," with Bee" doing quite a few extra turns to add to the enter tainment, and the bill is rounded out by the Franchini Brothers, with dar- ing athletic feats and fine exhibition of physical culture at it's best.

DECLINES RULE
 DECIDEDLY DULL
 STOCK MARKET
Mid-Week Session May Prove Even More
 Listless Affair
By EDWARD '. CONDLON II.aaah XrIra Ta Ane-HerAldl

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Trading on the stock exchange Tuesday simmereo down to less than q half million shares, one of the dullest sessions of the year. and the slowest since early in Septem- Der. Professionals attempted to depress the market by hammering away at . handful of the leading industrial stocks but their efforts did not meet with the success registered Monday. The mar ket showed e decided tendency to turn dull on reactions so that the declines rarely were extended beyond small fractions, except, of course, where spec ial movements involved particular ts- sues.
 Because Wednesday Is a Jewish hol- iday, 1t is quite possible that the mid week session may prove to be an even slower affair. Incidentally, the am nouncement that the stock exchange will be closed Monday. next, since Col umbus day falls on Sunday, will mean extremely dull trading at the wind-up of this week, so that the week. taken as a whole, will not hang up any rec ords for sales,
 st. Paul Pressure Lessened
 Although pressure against St. Paul common and preferred shares, was TO- faxed, the financial community appears a bit dubious over the ability of. the road to meet fixed charges. President Byram, however, had issued state ment to the effect that prospects arc favorable for the balaace of the year for gross business. which will produce sufficient net revenue to care for fixed interest for 1924. The declaration Of the regular dividend of $1.60 for Atchi- son common was in line with predtc- tions, but failed to satisfy the hopes or many recent buyers. The stock dropped a point for the day.
 One of the most interesting side lights on the market was the estimate of brokers loans outstanding, made by the Dow-Jones Financial Agtncy. They place the total at N,475,0o0.00o, the highest figure since July IS, 1928, when the total reached approximately $l,- 5O0, 900, 900, with the record high of S2,- GOO, 900, 900 reached in February of that year. The range for call money on the stock exchange so far this week is 2h to per cent.
 Sterling H0lds Own
 Foreign exchange provided few fea- lures except for a slight appreciation of the Asiatic rates when bar silver In the New York market was officially quoted at a record high at n 3-S cents an ounce. Although a political crisis is at hand in Great Britain, sterling seems to be giving q good account of itself. Such gains as were recorded In the South American rates were attrib- uted to better crop prospects. Wall Street Is hastening preparations for the German loan which may be brought out early next week. Tues day saw the offering and quick sale of s16, ,O00, 900 Nord Railway of France bonds and the offering of S7,000,000 Finnish municipal loans Is scheduled for Wednesday, as the street is being cleared of all pending financing so that the German loan may have the right of way.

pioyment was heavier in only seven in- dustrtes. Most notable among the August increases, probably. was the improvement which became apparent in textile lines. Another extremely im- portant sign of betterme1t is the ..p- ward swing in employment of leather workers.
 Straws only though they may be, these hopeful signs are very likely pointing out the direction of the in- dustrial current. Fundamental econ- omic conditions certainly do not war rant the slightest expectation of un- employment equal tothat encountered during the depression which began in 1920, particularly in view of recent cheerfulness regarding the business future. Yet the last location of the employment index line, at S5, is below any point touched since early 1922 and is nearly down to the lowest point of tho last ten years, v. which was reached in 1921. It would, therefore, appear reasonably safe now to assume that bus'er days Tor ths at.'cr $ u.orlxera lie ahUad,
