'CORNEL|A SKINNER
TO RETURN TO AIR
Artist to Present FuII-Length
Program of Own Char
aCter Sketches.

Cornelia Otis Skinner, whose tri-
umphal debut on the Eveready hour
last year is still fresh in the memories
of enthusiastic listeners, is to star again
on an Eveready hour program.
Miss Skinner will be heard Tuesday
night in full-length program Of her
now-famous character sketches, writ
ten and acted by herself, over the Ever
eady hour network of % stations, reach
ing from coast to coast. With the ma
tional hook-up for the Eveready hour
now reaching to the Pacific Coast, radio
listeners there will have their first OPP
portunity on Tuesday to hear the gifted
daughter of the noted actor, Otis Skin
ner, in her inimitable characteriZatlonS.
Distinctly an artist in her own name,
Cornelia Otis Skinner has been ac-
claimed during the past two years as
among the foremost of American en-
tertainerS, her originally conceived char
acter sketches evoking both critical and
popular praise. In recitals before
drawing room audiences and women'S
clubs throughout the country, Miss
SINNERS ability to encompass the en-
tire emotional range in an evenings
entertainment has won wide recogni-
tion for her
Her performance on the Eeveready
hour last year was the occasion for
an outburst of favorable comment by
critics and the radio public alike, and
precipitated an inSistent stream of re-
quests for her temperance this year.
Miss Skinner, following that broadcast
ing, expressed keen appreciation of the
opportunities afforded by radio for the
expression of her especial art.
Educated at Bryn Mawr College, and
at the Sorbonne in Paris Miss Skinner
also studied for the stage while in the
French metropolis, her tutors being De-
hally and Jean Herve of the Coincide
Francaise, and the famous jacques
Copeau of the Theater du VieuX Co
lombier. Returning to America, she
appeared for four years in New York
Blood and Sand" will Shakespeare, !"
"Tweedles." ''In the Next Room" and
In His Arms" Originally writing and
giving her own character sketches for
the edif1cation of her friends, she was
persuaded last year to present them pro-
fessionally. Her subsequent success has
convinced her, it is said, that such en-
tertainment offers the greatest oppor-
tunity for the exercise of her talents.
In addition to writing her sketches
the star of the current Eveready hour
has written considerably for magazines

Skinner produced and appeared in, is
a product of her pen. Her father, in

MExICANS PASS ITALIANS

Makers of Phonograph Disks Say
Central Americans Hold

NEW YORK CP).-Italians in the
United States, conceded since Caruso's
heyday to be the most avid Of the
country's music lovers, have yielded
that distinction to the Mexican popu-
lation of the Nation.
Makers of phonograph records say
ther is no doubt that Mexican resi-
dents in American communities now
outspend the Italians in the music
shops. Mexican laborers living humbly
beside railroad yards have been found
using packing boxes for dining room
chairs in order to afford portable
monographs, and Mexican records sell
most briskly among the disks manu-
featured for foreign elements In the
United States
In taste, however, the Italians prob
ably remain at the top, for they like
grand opera, while the Mexican liking
for music runs to folk tunes and street

CANTON, December 14-Imported
Western-styled clothing, which has been
all the rage among college students,
both men and women, throughout
South China, is to be abolished by the
Canton government. In its place is to
be substituted a Semi-military cotton
uniform for the boys and black cotton

The South China government will
have none of what it terms 'unjustified

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The grow
ing volume of trading appearing in
the markets of last week can only
be construed as meaning that pub
lie participation is increasing. I'm
doubtedly, much of the TRACTION is
due to the splendid outlook for in
dustry which, as far as I can see,
appears to be getting better. Under
ordinary stock market conditions
the increased participation would
be fully warranted, but as we view
the credit situation and listen to
continued warnings by financial
authorities, some doubt arises as TO
whether an additional burden can
be placed on the money market at
this time. OF course money will
always be found to finance business
both commercial and financial, but
will the cost of money be so high
that the benefits to the stock mar
ket which should be derived from
good trade conditions be nullided?
The possibility of easier money for
the stock market seems far fetched,
therefore I believe that the best
thing we can do is to continue TAX
ing advantage Of the bulges to
liquidate some long stocks.

Many Inquiries Received on

awakening to the possibilities OF
aviation, is fast gaining attention
Of business men interested in avia-
ton promotion, judging from in
quiries received at the Chamber OF
Commerce.
In the past few weeks the Cham
Der has received numerous inquiries
about airport and airplane manu-
featuring facilities here.
Inquire of Facilities
Several days ago a letter was re-
ceived from the Helium Company
Louisville, KY, suggesting that if a
dirigible balloon mooring mast is
to be available here, this city may
be on a freight and passenger
schedule planned by the company
which proposes to establish an air
route, using small dirigible, within
radius Of about 400 miles of
Louisville.
Sky View Lines, Inc, Detroit, has
written for data on a municipal
airport from which the company
might operate its tri-motored Stout
Ford all metal monoplaneS.
American Airports Corporation,
New York, has asked a detailed air
map of the city and its airports, ex-
planning it is working on plans and
design for buildings which may be
needed here by an air transporta-
ton company contemplating a stop
at Indianapolis.
Negotiate for Plant
A Hampton, Va, company wrote
that it is investigating Indianapolis
as a potential location for an air
plane factory to manufacture planes
designed primarily for the private
owner.
The industrial commission already
is negotiating with a Detroit con-
Germ for location of 81 100000 fac
tory here to produce tri-motored

OF lame DUCKS
Primaries of Last Week Re
tire Men From Congress.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON. Aug. e.-Three
members have been added to the
congressional lame duck club as re-
suit of the primary elections of the
last week.
The three are:
Representative FINS Garrett
minority leader of the House, who
failed to defeat Senator Mcclellan
for reelection in Tennessee. Gar
rett had served nearly twenty-five
years in Congress.
Representative Eugene Black of
Clarksville, Texas, who had repre-
sented the First district in that
State for nearly fourteen years.
Representative Tom Blanton, who
ran for the Senate in Texas and
thus eliminated himself after serv-
ing six terms.
CARROTS defeat was not unex-
pected, friends of Senator Mcclellan
having predicted from the start he
could not be ousted.
Black was the only Texas Repre-
sentative running for reelection
who was defeated. He was beaten
by Wright Patman of Texarkana
Patman attacked Blacks legislative
record.
Blanton was completely outclassed
in the senatorial race, which devel-
oped into a runoff between Senator
Earle Mayf1eld and Representative
Tom Connally. The election Aug
rs will determine whether Mayf1ed
or Connally will become a lame
duck. Washington predictions are
that it will be Mayf1eld.
The lame ducks finish their terms
in the SEVENTEEN Congress and pass
out of public life March 4, 1929.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Stocks
moved in a narrow range in the
early trading today, fairly large
number showing small gains in light
turnover. There was nothing in the
weekend news to affect the list one
way or the other and the bullish ele-
nnent has the advantage of improv-

still in possession of the money
weapon, a formidable foe of adj
vancing prices.
General Motors eased off 4 to
1875 at the opening, while United
States Steel rose rs to- 140%;
American Can gained 4 to 945s
and other leading issues fluctuated
in a Il point range. These issues
made little change in the early deal
1ngs.
Chrysler corporation declined
q to 841a and then recovered to the
opening level of IS, while other
motor issues showed firm tone.
Specials in Demand
Special issues like Eastman Ko-
dak, American Linseed and Allied
chemical were in demand, the latter
rising two points to 1907. Union
Carbide also was bid up more than
a point, while international Nickel
and international Combustion we're
