A SMILE FROM DIANA

 "Cause there be's so precious lit tie to poach there!"
 "Ay, true enough, child,' he an- swered and glancing up saw Helen approaching across the green; but, marvel of marvels, she was smiling, while in her grey eyes was such a look as woke in him growing wonderment.

ALICE WHITES
FILM FULL
OF SONGS

In addition to being one of
the most amusing all-dialogue
pictures, THE Girl From Wool
worth's, starring Alice White,
at the Earle theater, is an all
song-hit picture. Every tune in
the show is catchy-the kind
you find yourself humming or
whistling in spite of yourself.
Probably you have heard some
of them already, for they have
caught on everywhere and are
sweeping the country like wild
fire; and in THE Girl From
WoolWorth's" they are given an
ideal setting, as sung and
danced by Alice White and the
famous First National Vita
phone beauty chorus.
Three of the principal songs
someone, You Baby Me,
I'll Baby You" and Crying For
Love"-have come from the in
spired piano at which George
w. Meyer plunks out melodies
while AL Bryan, pencil in hand,
writes lyrics.
This creative pair has prob
ably turned out more song hits
than any other WordS-and-muSic
combination in these broad
United States. They we're
among the premier song writer's
of Tin Pan Alley. in gay Man
haitian, until First National
Pictures waited them out to
the Pacific Coast to write and
compose exclusively for that

Violence Feared at Shaft

Quit Vigil.

BOONVILLE, Ind, Nov. Fear
OF violence for 100 nonunion miners
at the John Bull cooperative mine
near Boonville was dispelled mo-
mentarily today, when a crowd of
approximately fifty pickets dispersed
after fruitless efforts to induce the
miners to quit work.
The pickets, most Of them from
other Warrick county cooperative
mines which have suspended oper-
alton as miners left at the unions
beheSt, took up stations along roads
leading to the John Bull mine about
z a. m.
They attempted no violence, but
entreated the miners to join their
ranks. They withdrew about a. m.
The situation remained tense, how
ever, in view of the nonunion min
ers' determination to stay on the
job.
Fearing an outbreak of violence,
Sheriff George Ward made three
trips to the mine this morning.
Operators believe organizers and
possibly some of their allies who
we're believed to have had a hand
in the recent Bono brutalities are
behind the trouble here.
It is estimated that the organi-
zation drive in Warrick county has
thrown approximately 400 miners
out of work.

Armstrong, who is serving life
term for completely in the murder
OF Uron Marovich, stuck by his story
today that Nick Sudovich, now on
trial here for the murder, hired him
to aid in committing the crime.
Defense attorneys tried to get
Armstrong to say that Chicago boot
leggers hired him and Charles Kelly
to do the killing, because Marovich
threatened the bootleggers with
blackmail, but he did not alter the
story told for the state Thursday.
Armstrong testified that he has
been warned in prison not to tes-
tify against Sudovich. He said a
brother of Fred Brennan, who was
tried for the crime and acquitted,
came to his jail window and uttered
the warning: Keep mum about
Sudovich." He identified the brother
in court today.
An Indiana Harbor policeman
also warned him not to mention
Sudovich, Armstrong said.

1V1 foolish business for any indi-
vidual to try to beat the Wall Street
crowd, for in the end there is
bound to be only one result-dis-
aster for the individual"
Thus does Clarence Saunders,
grocery chain store king, comment
on the spectacular Wall Street
debacle of the last few days.
Saunders knows what he is talk
ink about. There was a time when
he thought he had Wall Street
licked. He bucked Wall Street with
$16,0000 900 in cold cash.
Then. a day or so later, he woke
up to learn that Wall Street had
him licked, proper. He put on a
comeback and he's very wealthy
today, but he didn't get it in the
stock market.
1t was only a few short years
ago that Saunders found out about
Wall Street. AS head of Piggly-
Wiggly he had run up paper profits

full of cash to New York under his
own heavily armed guards to work
on.
Then unexpectedly, the New York
Stock Exchange suspended the
rules, gave a f1ve-day extension for
stock, deliveries--and Saunders
went back to Memphis stone broke.
Wall Street ridiculed the ex-
grocery clerk as "the country boob
from Tennessee"
He came back, though, now has
500 stores of his own and is worth
more than he ever was before. In
three years he returned to a
millionaire from seni-poverty.
But he didn't put a dime in Wall
Street during the recent upheavaI
and the present crash is to him a
matter of academic interest only.
