JOYCE
PLANS TO Wed
ANOTHER COUNT
Alice SiIVerthorne'S d.
VorCed Husband Will
Marry Ex-FoIIieS Star.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
LONDON, May 26.-Peggy Hop
kins Joyce, indefatigable seeker of
martial happiness, is about to try
again, the Evening Standard re-
ported today.
The newspaper said the former
Follies star was about to marry an
other count-this time Count Frede-
ric De jane, divorced French hus-
band of Alice Silverthorne of Chi
cago and Buffalo.
1t was explained that Peggy fell
in love with De jane through a
book of his she picked up idly in a
bookshop.
Purportedly, it was said, the book
was prosy enough-about the Kenya
colony in East Africa, where De
jane has a large farm-but Miss
Joyce was enraptured. At the time,
the newspaper said, Miss Joyce and
De jane were not acquainted, but
this difficulty was overcome.
De jane divorced his former wife
when she showed her love for Ray
mond De Trafford, son Of Sir
Humphrey De Trafford, by shoot
ing him in a railway car at a Paris
station as he was leaving her for
England.
They had been close friends, but
De Trafford had said he could not
marry her after a divorce because
his people opposed the match.
De Trafford was not badly hurt,
but the countess wounded herself
desperately a moment afterward.
She was arraigned in the French
courts, but the charge against her
was dismissed, as it was held that
she was overcome by emotion at
the moment and could not be held
strictly responsible for her actions.

goodness, its savior and teacher,
and yet we turn to our wilful ways
and give him so little access to
our lives. The misuse of national
privilege will never end until we
put an end to this misuse of per-
sonal privilege, until we begin to
see and follow the higher path of
duty and responsibility.
In the Old Testament
1t should, perhaps, be remem-
bered in connection with this les
son that Jesus has built it up upon
much older story in which a
prophet of Israel had sought to ex-
press the same truth. The Old
Testament passage will be found
in Isaiah SILT.
Our lesson records now the
pointed truth of Jesus enraged
those who listened to him. How
typical it is of men whose course
in life is wrong that instead of i'm
proving by rebuke and counsel they
turn in bitterness against those
who speak the truth! There is a
great sense in which we might per-
haps test the correctness Of our
conduct and attitude by our re-
spouse to criticism.
The vineyard is suggestive Of OPP
portunity. If some other figure
had been used there might be
doubt concerning lives of actual
privilege. Perhaps the lesson is
that even the lowliest and the least
satisfactory life affords some meas
ure of opportunity for character
and service.

FARM PLEDGE
IN PLANK

Criticizing neutrality-suspicious." Of
the Democratic platform plank on
agriculture, Senator Key Pittm0n
OF Nevada, chairman OF the Hous-
ton platform committee, today de-
clared the party Ii Pledged 70 the
theory Of the McNary- iaugen bill.
To force effective cooperative
marketing, however. the party has
the moral right to abandon the
Equalization feer and select an
other method, he explained.
Pittman'a Ire was aroused BY an
editorial in an Eastern Democrats
newspaper declaring that the Nc
Nary Haugen bill and Its principles
had been spurned BY both parties.
Endorsed BY All
'aThe agricultural plank Is In
dorsed by nearly all farm leaders,
while at the same time II is almost
universally criticised by writer's
on the ground that II in no way
supports the theory Of the Me-
Nary.TIaugen sbill," said Pittman.
This difference OF opinion IL nat.
ural. The farmers understand the
problem and the writers do not.
The farmers understand what was
In the McNary .Haugen bill and the
writer's do not.
.'The paragraph Of the plank with
regard to this particular matter
says:
ave recognize that experiences
has demonstrated that members OF
such associations (meaning co-opera-
tivesl alone cannot successfully az
sumo the fun responsibility for q
program that benefits all producers
"That is the foundational fact
upon which the McNary-Haugen
bin is based. Experience has dem
onstrated that IL one-half Of the
producers or q crop enter into CO.
operation and warehouse their prod
ucts TO hold them for q demand,
that the other half who do not
enter the co-operatives. or pay any
OF the expenses of the transaction,
will dump their products on the
market as the co-operatives raise
the price. Thus those In the CO..
operatives stand the expense and
those outside get the profits. II
was to overcome this difficulty and
force all producers of certain crops
into cooperation that the 'equaliza-
ton fee was devised.
Now the Democratic platform
recognizes this problem. The Re.
publican platform does not admit
that this is a problem"

HAPPINESS DUO
WRC STARS
TODAY

Billy Jones and Ernie Hare
Happiness Boys, Fit Soldiers,
photograph record stars or how
ever one might care to identify
them-are to be the chief features
of the Demonstra ton Hour from
WRC at 2:3O this afternoon. Thus
well established radio comedy will
vie with the Lewisohn Stadium
symphony orchestra for first hon
ors in loud speaker deliveries dur
ing the afternoon and evening.
At the risk of being severely
dealt with by the musical funda-
mentalists may we suggest that
on the symphony program this ave.
ning-all of which beginning at
1880, WRC listeners will hear
there will be no greater and finer
art Of entertainment demonstrated
than these same two real happiness
boys will present this afternoon.
They have made the business of
bringing happiness to untold thous-
ands by radio and monograph a
very great art in the five years
they have been singing before a
mfcrophone, and through the 4,500
phonograph records they have
made. Associated with them in
the Demonstration program will
he Marjorie Horton, soprano; Frank
I,lther. tenor: Frank Black, pianist
and orchestral director: Merle JOHN
ston, saxophonist, and others.
CAUCASIAN SKETCHES
SYMPHONY FEATURE
The symphony concert tonight
will present Mendelssohn's Scotch
Symphony as the chief feature of
the programme far as conventional
music is concerned. But in the
latter half of the concert there
will be a most unconventional pair
of contributions that register as
the very finest art in music.
The first is the Rimsky Karsakow
Flight of the Bundle Bee" which
the orchestra played last week as
an encore and the second will be
IippoIitow-I famous suite,
''Caucasion Sketches This suite
consists of five numbers, three OF
which are usually played-"In the
Village" "In the Mountains and
the March of the Sardar." These
are what viii probably be played
this evening and special attention
is called to them because 1t is our
belief that musicalIy they are far
and away the best features on the
program.
In the Thirty Club Forum affair
from WMAL this evening, Presi-
dent A. C1oyd Gill will address him
self especially to his feminine lis
teners-as he did to his men friends
last Saturday evening. He requests
that no men tune the program! The

early dance program by Ann Ar
