Home For Farmers
Has Had Few Tenants
- hispatch \. z. Wirel

DAVENPORT, Iowa, March IA
home for the relief of aged farmers
that has Virtually gone begging for
tenants for thirty-four years is To-
Gated here.
1t is the Fcjervary Home for Old
Farmers, endowed by the late Mich
olas Fejervary, Hungarian patriot
and exile, whose love for his adopted
. country prompted him to leave a
good share of his fortune for the
relief Of aged farmers.
Count Fejervary thought there
might be many old farmers who
would want to enter the home under
stipulated conditions-that they be
farmers of American birth who had
farmed here in Scott county for
twenty years. There have been only
a score or so who filled the require
ments.
Just now the home, fine struc-
ture, has one inmate, a farmer sew
enty-five years old His presence
during 1925, the trustees reported
cost $3,459. Living in his solitary
state he was cared for by ma
tron, a superintendent and men and
maids.
ire home has lacked residents
principally because a large proper
tion Of Iowa farmers are foreign
born and because many men who
have farmed for twenty years own
their own homes.

Movie Stars Must Keep
Ahead in Dress Styles

HOLLY WOOD, March Ito merely
keep in style in Hollywood is to be
old-fashioned.
Why?
Because here the movie stars ap-
parel must predict the mode for at
least six months in, advance. Long
has ii been recognized that many
women look TO the screen for their
fashions and this is one reason why
The players must depict what is to
l.ecomes one, OF turning backward
-.ome in the way of clothes.
In costume pictures, the question
and this is not so much trouble.
But in the modern, up-to-the minute
photoplays the actors some Zines are
hard put to accomplish the feat of
being exquistely~ and pre-modishly
gowned
TO find their fashions, the stars
turn to the different sources: their
own genius and flair for clothing,
the famous designing experts who
have brought their art to Holly
wood, and the salons Of Paris.
For example when Marie Provost
was given the lead in Warner
brothers "rhe Caveman," she learn
ed from the script that she was to
be a sophisticated, smartly gowned
woman of cosmopolitan society. She
then conferred With Director Lewis
Milestone and it was decided to con-
suit a famous designer.
After set of sketches, complete
as 20 color, material and style, had
been submitted and approved, the
tedious process of fitting took ten
days OF Miss Prevosts time before
everything was ready for her to
dress for the picture.
Irene Rich, on the other hand de-
signs almost every frock she wears
and with the aid of expert modistes
in her studio achieves effects dis
tinctly individual. For her next
photopIay, Miss Rich designed ten
gowns and the Warner dressmaking
staff was Kept busy an entire week.
Paris supplies Patsy Ruth Miller
with most of her gowns. She buys
them from importers in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and New York. Often
the s ars buy their clothes in ad-
vance for PICTURES while they are in
Paris.
DreSsmaking for picture wor kis
an expensive and gigantic task, but
one which most of the stars like.

something. And what do you think,
Mrs Blank is in the hospital and
they don't think she will live, etc.
Gee, everybody's sick. l never saw
anything like it in all my life. etc.

When the visitor leaves the room
they leave behind person feeling
worse than when they entred the
room If you cannot find anything
to talk about besides sickness stay
at home Then you won't be taking
any chances of catching anything and
your friends will get better quicker
without seeing you and listening to
your lecture on chow to get sick and
die young" The only good thing you
left behind was one of two flowers
