Mabel Normand's Comedy.

IT is fact that Mabel Normand can
extract more real comedy out of
a given situation than most comic
performers of the screen.
In "One Hour Married" her latest
Pathe comedy, she overlooks moth
ing. Her airplane adventure is one
of the high spots.
OF course. Gen. Pershing did not
realize he had Mabel Normand in the
Army, but Gen. Confusion must
have. Mabel almost disrupts the en-
tire overseas army in her mad
search for her lost rookie husband.
torn from her arms at the very door
of the church.
AS would any loving wife, she dis
guises herself most effectively in a
stolen uniform and a false mustache
of the walrus variety and conducts
a thorough search of all the trenches
and shell holes, to say nothing of the
airlanes of France
Her nonchalant sorties into No
Mans Land; her hair raising plane
dcmolishing advent into the sky, and
her fearless raids upon enemy ma
chine gun nests constitute one of the
brightest chapters of screen comedy.
"One Hour Married" already has
been labeled "the fun epic of the
Army" Creighton Hale is the lost
rookie husband.

MAYORS LAWYERS.
DEMAND JURY OF.
GREAT IGNORANCE
No One Allowed i'm Box
Who Heard of Graft

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 10. -
The platoons of prospective Jurors
that trooped in and out of the jury
box at the trial of Mayor John l..
Duvall of Indianapolis for alleged
political corruption today promised to
expand to companies.
Because nearly every Hoosier takes
as keen an interest in politics as the
rest of the world does in the. Demp-
y-Tunney fight, the jurors who are
competent already know too much
about the case to please the Duvall
lawyers, who vigorously are challeng-
ing anyone who follows the political
scandal in the public prints.
Twenty-Five men entered the jury
box yesterday and as result upon
orders from Special Judge C. c. Shir-
ley, another venire was being assem-
bled today.
When the smoke of the questioning
had cleared, 10 men had been excused
and no juror had been accepted finally
for service.
Apparently. taking the stand that
the three newspapers of Indianapolis
have exposed Duvall, the attorneys
for the defense today were question:
ing closely the knowledge of the case
obtained from the daily publications.

Farmers Fight Choice
Of Mellon Men on u. S.
FarmLOan Organization

WASHINGTON, (FP) Sept. 13.-
Members of the senate are asked to
"keep an open mind" on the confirma-
ton of the three new Mellon mem
bers of the federal farm loan board,
in letters from the American Farm
Bureau Federation, moderate farm
organization. The letter is practically
a challenge to Coolidge and Mellon to
try to force confirmation in the SEN
ate of Eugene Meyer, Jr., the Wall
st. financier who has been named
head of the loan board.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
forced the resignation of three pro-
farm members of the board soon after
the adjournment of congress last
spring and had Coolidge name three
Wall Street appointees, who now hold
recess appointments. The farm bloc
threatens that they will not be con-
firmed by the senate, forcing their
resignation.

POrters Told They Must
Create Emergency" if
They Want Recognition

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (FP).-
Industrial autocrats of the Pullman
Co. will be faced with an "emergen-
Cyl by their union porters within the
next two months which will force the
Parker Watson act to a showdown
and present the gravest labor situa-
ton for the powerful sleeping car
company since Eugene V. Debs' Pull
man strike of 1896.
A. Philip Randolph, general organ
izer for the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, in Washington to pre-
sent his mion's case to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, declares that
a national convention will be held in
the near future and drastic action de-
termined in order to force the Pull
man Co. to an issue over the question
of recognition. Randolph has ex-
hausted the possibilities of the Park
er-Watson act both for mediation and
arbitration, as the company will ac-
cept neither.
Must Create Emergency"
Now, according to the law, the por-
tiers must create an emergency" I'M
der which the president would be au-
thorized to order a federal inquiry
and practically force the Pullman Co.
to back down from its autocratic
stand. That emergency must be the
threat of strike. A Pullman strike
in 1896 precipitated the national
American Railway Union strike
which was broken only after federal
troops had been thrown in to aid the
railroads.
The practical demands of the por-
ters are for recognition, for a mini
mum wage of $3.50 month, against
the present $72 and for a 240-hour
work month against the present 400
hours based on 1000 miles.

CO-OperatiVes Growing;
Have 100000 Members,
$3OO,OOO,OOO Annually
WASHINGTON, Opp Sept. y

WASHINGTON, OPP Sept. II.
Consumers cooperative societies
reach millions of American people,
declares the bureau of labor statis-
tics as. the result of a study just
completed. With 100000 members
and an annual business of $780,
100000, the co-ops have held their
own during the adverse times since
1920 and are now on the upward
trend, the bureau asserts.
Credit, housing and workers pro-
ductive societies were included in
the study and the phenomenal
growth of the credit cooperatives,
particularly in New England and
the east was noted. The consumers
co-ops center more in the middle
west, among the miners, Films and
Scandinavians, the bureau found.
Ninety per cent of the societies
are the familiar merchandise stores
but wholesale societies, gasoline
filling stations, bakeries, laund-
ries, boarding houses, restaurants
and water supply organizations
swell the total to 534 societies. In
cluded among them are co-ops run
ming milk distribution, a garage,
light and power plant and a print
ing office. Many societies carry
on supplementary services, such as
handling coal. Nearly 5000 work
ers are employed by the coopera-
tives.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - The

President Coolidge told callers to-
