 United States Attorney Harold r. Williams told the court that Mir. Dow had undergone three opera tions for cancer and that a relapse was likely at any time. Federal officers had declared that Dow was the only one in tho large office who knew the actual state of affairs and no action was taken against any of his employees.
 Secured creditors were to have their claims of S450, 900 paid in full. counsel for the company said, but the 2.SO0 unsecured creditors who had claims of S6,000,000 could only be offered a ten per cent compost ton offer from the s6o0,000 that remained as assets. The collapse of the house came in July, 1925. Dow was arrested last April and on August 30 changed his plea to guilty while immediate sentence was spared him because of his health.

 The results of the tests will be seen in the passing after Oct l of nearly half the electrical firms which have been doing business here. Those which were successful will re- ceive licenses while others will not be allowed permits after September 30. Unlicensed electricians will be allowed to complete work for which they hold permits.
 About a dozen of those who have been doing electrical work in recent years failed to put in an appearance. This precludes them from doing new work after October 1, since the next examination will be in the latter part of next month. Those who took the test and did not succeed cannot again appear before the eX- amining committee until three months have elapsed.

Champion Also Charges Him With Theft of Half Million From Him-Ex- Manager, in Return, At taches Jacks Share of
 Money in Coming Fight.

Atlantic City, \. J., Sept. 21 l.P- Jack Dempsey in an affidavit pre- scented in chancery court today an swering Jack Kearns' suit forcing him into receivership, charged kcarns with stealing $50o,000 and asserted that kearns at one time was imprisoned.
 Dempsey gave these as his req sons for discharging Kcarns.
 The case was continued for two weeks. Richard J. Mackay of New York, is Dempsey's counsel.
 Makes Theft Charges
 Dempsey in his affidavit said he learned of Kearns' dishonesty and prison record about August 1925. That part of the affidavit referring to Dempscys reasons read in part:
 At or about that time l discov- cred that MT. Kearns had been ap- propriating to himself certain monies that did not belong to him but which belonged to me which aggregated over the period involved in excess of over $500,O00.
 Tt was on account of this fact and also because of the fact that on or about that time l discovered that Kearns was an eX-convict, hay ing been in prison in the peniten- tiary in the state of Washington for a considerable period of time"
 Reasons For Discharge
 Dempsey in his affidavit said that the knowledge of Kcarns' record so repelled him that he discharged him as an employe. Dempsey in his af- fdavit said: T further told him l would not make known the reasons for his discharge but in view of the fact that in public print and the af- fdavit which he has submitted to this court hestatcs that the reason for our breach was against his wishes in that I contracted mar riage with one Estelle Taylor and that my aforesaid wife became en- bittered aaginst him because of his to the marriage and so worked upon my feelings, that l re- fused to any longer recognize Mir. kearns as my manager or abide by the terms of the contract"

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE

POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE
Apologize when you are wrong
The hearts of other men to soften
AS through the streets you move
along
Which probably is rather often.
If rude men thrust you off the walk
And forth upon the pavement tarry,
Avoid all sorts of angry talk,
But simply say that you are sorry.
Don't answer back when you're ad-
dressed
By men whose voices rasp or rumble,
Remember it is always best
To be polite and suave and humble.
If you must speak, confine your
speech
ITO mild and civil conversation;
Let your expression we beseech,
Conceal your inward irritation.
On getting on "a bus or car
Where people crowd from all direc-
tions,
Don't show how very vexed you are
Or give expression to objections.
Though you are pushed and showed
and kneed,
Though now and then a fist may
clout you
It's always wiser not to heed
The rudeness of the throng about
you.

MOVIE FANS NOW WANT
TO BECOME DIRECTORS
fRy Dispatcn a. r. wirel

HOLLYWOOD, July 1.-The pulse of
a portion of Americas movie audience
is now throbbing for directors, not the
film stars.
Ambitions have changed, particular
ly the masculine ones, if Metro Gold
wyn- Mayors fan" mail is any cri-
terion. Until a short time ago most
queries in the mass of studio mail
were: "How can l become picture
player?" What they want to know
now is: "How can l become a movie
director?"
"Beauty" Not Mandatory
Just what has brought about the
change studio officials are unable to
saw Consensus OF opinion is, how
ever, that the men, young and not so
young, who yearn for a film career
with it's subsequent reward, feel that
less natural physical qualifications
are necessary to success as director
1t is also felt that directors arc
getting more credit for fine pictures,
as we'll as for outstanding perform
ances by members of the cast. This
has resulted in greater salaries.
Questions usually asked by the writ
ers are what experience best equips
director, how must he learn his trade
and where must he serve his appren-
ticeship.
Most Began as Actors
On the M-GM lot it was found that
a large percentage of their directors
learned to tell others how to act by
having done it themselves.
Fred Niblo began his career in
stock company, where he played char
acter roles. He also managed and
acted in a company which he took to
Australia on tour.
King Vidor began his career by fl
nancing, directing and acting in come
dies in Texas.
King Baggot was matinee idol.
who starred in pictures. Hobart Hen
ley has had a varied stage and screen
experience, the former under the man
agement of Belasco and Frohman.
From Burlesque and Opera
Tod Browning began his career on
the vaudeville and burlesque stage.
He was a contortionist in vaudeville
and a black faced comedian in bur-
lesque show. Robert 2. Leonard was
an operetta singer.
Edmund Goulding was an actor as
we'll as an author The Swedish di-
rectors alos deserted the boards for
the megaphone.
Monta Bell is a notable exception.
He left the editorship of newspaper
to direct motion pictures
