SHAVE PERILS
BEAUTY PARLOR
$1,000 Experts Meet to
Battle BARRIERS.
BIZ United Press

L
CHICAGO, March 15.-Fifteen
thousand women of Illinois, who de-
vote their time to making the
female easier to look at, met today
to discuss problem which threat
ems their profession.
The men BARRIERS are blamed for
the trouble, which was patched up
with "truce" three years ago when
the beauty culturists agreed to let
the BARRIERS wave hair, and the bar
bers agreed to let the women give
hair cuts.
Now, if the lady shops obey the
law, they either must be able to
shave a man or hire a barber to
do the hair cutting.
Mrs. Florence E. Harris, an execu-
tive of the Chicago and Illinois
Hairdressers' Association, and chair
man of the board of examiners of
beauty culture for the state, issued
the conclave call.
1.-THE men BARRIERS put one over"
Mrs. Harris said. "They obtained a
ruling from the attorney general
canceling all licenses for beauty
shop operators who have not passed
a complete barber examination. IN
der our truce, women have been
granted licenses when they passed
a hair-cutting and beauty culture
examination.
"That means that to obtain a
license, a beauty operator must be
able to shave. Otherwise she may
not cut any hair"

ComeIy Brunette Offers
Abb for Mcdonald
at Trial Here.

Rupert Mcdonald lived in Chicago
during May, 1926, driving a taXicab.
He couldn't have been in Indian
apolis on May II to take part in
the holdup at the Green Mill barbe-
cue, in which Wilkinson Haag, Haag
Drug Company official, was muir
dered.
This is the defense on which Nc
Donald expects to escape life i'm
prisonment or death for the Haag
Staying, with which he is charged.
It was presented for the first time
at his trial in criminal court today.
Miss Eva Mcdonald, 20, his mod
ishly dressed and good-looking sis
ter, told the story.
State Rests Case
The state rested its case at 9:25
a. m. For two hours and a half
Miss Mcdonald was on the stand
this morning and the state contin-
ued its roSs-examination as the
afternoon session opened.
The girl, a brunette, without pow
der or paint on her cheeks, and
wearing a black velvet dress, said
that she is 20 and her brother one
month over 81.
All during May, 1926, her brother
was in Chicago driving Checker
taxicab for her stepfather, now
dead. She was never out at night
later than 9. Rupert always was
at home at night. He gave her the
cab receipts every night To her
knowledge he never was out of Chi
cago a day or night that month.
She kept a note book day by day
showing the taxicab receipts. But
she could not produce that book.
Tt was lost or thrown away after
her stepfather's death, when their
home was broken up in May, 1928.
Forgets Florida Trip
ct know of no occasion when my
brother went to Florida. I never
knew him to be gone that long,"
she said.
Then Prosecutor JudSon L. Stark's
cross-eXamination began.
She recalled that her brother had
been gone four months in 1926, that
he was in Florida from about the
first of January to about April 81 or
30. But she was certain he had
returned to Chicago by May l.
The state contends Mcdonald and
Lawrence Ghere, also under indict-
ment for the Haag murder, staged

The moth-eaten illusion about

on his animals. In Mabel's act,

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 15.-
II A scrap with her fiance, trip
to Hollywood to forget their diff
culties, and Doris Dawson became
a member of the celluloid hamlet's
red-haired club.
Prior to that everything had been
lovely. Doris was wearing a dia-
mond as big as the third finger on
which it reposed. She was going
to be married and settle down as
a happy New York wife.
Then came the quarrel just at a
time when Doris father was coming
to Los Angeles on a business trip.
Come to Los Angeles with me, "
he urged. 1--WE will be gone about
three months and by the time we
get back you will have forgotten all
your troubles"
Doris forgot all right-but she for
got to go back to New York again.
The three months trip stretched
into nine months and by that time
the titan haired girl decided that
she was going to stay in Hollywood.
Long distance telephone calls,
kilograms and letters from the "boy
friend" in New York were to no
avail. Doris had made up her mind.
Sticks on Coast
"a girl I had known in New York
was working at the Mack Sennett
studio" Doris remarked. IT went to
lunch with her one day and then
went back to the studio to watch
her work during the afternoon.
"They were shooting some SWIM
ming scenes and needed some girls
who could dive. My churn, know
ing that I could, said that she
would get me a job working in the
picture if I wanted to. I declined

She did not know her brother
was held in Chicago on a robbery
charge in June, 1927. She did not
visit him or Ghere in Jail there.
She did not know her brother had
jumped $4,000 bail on the robbery
charge in Chicago.
Ghere and Mcdonald, according
to police and the prosecution, were
arrested in Chicago on jewelry rob-
berry charges and won their free
dom on bail a few days before In
dianapolis police expected to return
them here to face murder charges.
Mcdonald, his sister said, was in
Los Angeles from August, 1926 to
October, 1928, when he was arrested
there and brought to Indianapolis.

the world who breaks, trains and
works tigers. Her body carries
hundred scars to indicate that her
climb to stardom in her chosen
profession has not been without
its price. Survivor of a score of
battles in the steel arena with
wild animals, she counts a tussel
with murder-bent Bengal as
part of the days work.
I'D rather train my kittens
than do anything else" explains
Mabel. "Of course, it is danger
Gus work and I expect these cats
to finish me some day, but I don't
take foolish chances. There is no
such thing as a tanned wild
animal"

at first, since I had never before
given thought to entering
pictures.
However, she urged me on and
said we would have a lot of fun, SO
I went to work"
For the next six months Doris
worked at Sennett's, doing bits in
comedies. Daddy finished his bust
ness about that time and told her
they would start for home. She
announced that she wasn't going
home.
Daddy objected, but Doris stuck to
her decision. He finally told her
that if she stayed she would have
to be entirely on her own, that he
wouldn't help single bit. Then he
left for New York.
For a time the little titan
haired actress was just unfortunate
enough to be on the wrong side of
the fence. Her salary, when she
worked, was small and she didn't
work often.
''I was just about to give up and
go home when T got my contract
at First National" declared Doris.
