A Slight Explanation.

Due to the fact that the linotype
failed to cast a line, the Western
News item last week in regard to a
court case did not make sense in one
sentence and might cause misinfor-
nation. Irene Barrett brought action
for divorce from Glen Barrett on the
grounds of non-support. Barrett filed
a cross complaint and later amended
his complaint asking for divorce
on the grounds of desertion. Argu-
ments of attorneys in the case will
be heard in district court in Libby

No Long Skirts for Her.

Of course everyone knows that the
trend of women's fashions is back
to the long skirts. At least that's
what we mere men are told and what
we see when we occasionally let our
eyes wander over fashion article
IN the newspapers.
A young saleswoman in one of the
Libby stores tells how she sold three
or four dresses the other day to
young girls and young women. All
of them wanted dresses with long
skirts for, you know, one might as
we'll be buried as out of fashion.
But another dress was sold by the
same clerk to a woman of more ma
ture years. Did she want dress with
long skirt? Not on your life. No
tyranny of a long skirt switching
about her ankles for her. She was
emancipated. She had been freed from
hobbies and wasn't going back to
them. And then, you know, short
skirts make one look SO much younger

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December s
(N.A.N.A.) There Is grave concern In
the colony over Joan Crawford.
Easily the most promising Of the
young stars the wife Of Doug Fairbanks,
r.. has worked so hard and dieted so
faithfully that producers are beginning
to feel seriously worried as to results.
When Joan Crawford came to Holly
wood she weighed lat pounds. She Is
now down to 100, and she is doing the
hari st days work in the process Of be-
ing star you can dream Of.
Dolores Del Rio, the beautiful Latin
type, who revolutionized screen stand
ards three years ago, is on the sick list.
Despite the glowing reports that come
TO the colony about Lila Lees condi-
ton, she Is not back In the studios as
Mary Astor took the warnings Of her
physician 70 heart and put on lot Of
weight. It made her physically less
lovely in Holiday" than she perhaps
has ever been since she faced the cam
eras, but 1t did not prevent her from
doing the finest piece Of work she has
yet done. She VIII be starred by R-K-O
in the near future, and as her strength
returns she can train down once more
to the w1llow-slim silhouette she once
possessed.
Joan Crawford is the finest bet
cinemas have today. Her popularity
and talent transcend the limitations Of
the stories often given her. "Our Blush
ing Brides" was terrible drivel, but
Crawford invested even its most maudlin
scenes with something valuable.
Carroll and Garrett Graham, les
enfants terrinles Of this village, who
wrote the novel Queer People," are
back at the scene Of the crime.
There are those who darkly prUpheSied
that the Graham brothers would never
face Hollywood again They were wrong.
Having sold their novel 10 Howard
Hughes, they are here probably with
the idea Of doing some technical super
vision on It.
The story Is being run in local daily.
Perhaps 1t II horrible curiosity which
prompts the village TO read highly coll
ored tales Of itself: or maybe, again,
it has developed, bit latesa sense Of
humor. & q

painting by John Heating of the Royal
Hibernian Academy, depicting the ex-

a sensation wherever shown in Europe.

struction men, and, he says, painted

Everybody is taking it all as grand
joke. Who knows?-the two may have
another book In them. And there's
nothing like getting square In time.
Douglas Fairbanks picture will open
in New York. SO will Ronald Colman's
latest. Colman Is one of the few--in
fact, the only one-in the colony who
is good for two premieres. Last time
he had q big show in New York and
then followed with the record-breaking
opening Of the season out here.
But Charlie Chaplin's silent, "City
Streets" viii probably be released here
on New Year night. That will be the
most thrilling episode Of cinema history
these late years.
with movies on the fence, 30 to speak,
to know what to do next to pick up
audience attendance--with Europe ag'in
the tallies and not caring who knows
it--this silent Of the great Charlie will
determine lot of things-maybe. Pro-
ducers viii be Influenced by its recep-
ton, regardless Of the fact that there
Is only one Charlie Chaplin, and that
laws cannot be made for the rest Of
the colony using his art as q measure.

echo Of Mayor William Hale Thomp-
sons campaign to eliminate what he
called pro- British" propaganda from
school text books was heard Saturday
when the Chicago Bar Association asked

witness In the school board trial, by
which William McAndrew was ousted
as superintendent of schools. The bar
association petition AYERS that German.
while an assistant corporation counsel
at $4,000 year, was assigned to read

for propaganda for King George and

titled that he found such propaganda
and later was made defendant in
100000 libel suit brought by Prof.
David Saville Muzzey of Columbia Uni

question. The suit was dismissed when
German issued formal statement de-
claring he had never read the text
books and that the testimony he gave
was the work of another individual.
