HEMINGWAY'S
NOVEL 10 BE

By HARRISON CARROLL
(Copyright, 1890. Premier
Syndicate, Inc.)

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 1S. After
mature consideration, Paramount
has decided to film Farewell to
Arms" with Gary Cooper as the
soldier hero.
The Ernest Hemingway novel
offers a good deal Of censorable
material but with the greater
leeway allowed in talkies, the
studio believes it can be made
into q picture.
So far, no one is spoken Of as
the English heroine, but Fay
Wray Is q possibility.
The director, I am given to url-
derstand, will be Richard Wallace,
whose latest film, THE Right to
Love-" is said to be very salts
factory to Paramount officials.
AS Is generally known, Fare
well to Arms" deals with the
war on the Italian-Austrian front.

CHARGE CLOSING
OF ROAD TO Be
BUSINESS BLOW
National Highway Property
Holders Ask State to
Avoid 0etouring.

Assertion that numerous small
businesses on the National road,
west of the city near Lynhurst
drive. viii be wiped out by an "un-
necessary" closing of the road by
The state highway department, was
made today by G. D. Hereth, who
Thursday presented to state high
way officials a petition TO abrogate
the road closing.
The petition was signed by sixty
property holders of the vicinity.
It set out that the signers
"emphatically protest against the
detouring of through traffic from
this road until such time as is abb
soiutely necessary"
Under the present detour, traffic
Is routed on the Rockville road and
sscurns to the National highway at
the Marion Hendricks county line.
The National road is being wi
dened from its present width Of Ia
feet to 30 feet.
Hsreth contends that traffic should
be routed through on National road
while construction is being done on
the sides. His plan would be to
install the detour at Morris street to
the county soad as far as Piainfeld.
The contractor, the Vogel COM
pany of indianapolis, would have to
keep the detour over gravel roads in
condition, he contends.
A H. Hinkle, maintenance chief
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-05-16

Of the state highway department,
declared that the state must keep
the detours in condition and to
adopt the Hererth plan would be
both costly and incolvenient.
"Detouring over the Rockville
road gives the motorist an unob-
structed pavement" he declared.
Returning on the county line road
there is a dustless surface. Marion
county agreed to put the base on
this detour if we furnished the sur
facing, which was done.
The other route would be almost
impossible because Of the dust this
summer and it would be dangerous
for traffic to attempt travelling on
an eighteen-foot pavement VITA
work being done on both sides.
II .sympathize with these business
people. but such conditions are in
evitable wherever a road Is under
construction.
Hereth is proprietor of a res
taurant and declares that his bust
ness will be reduced to almost
nothing under the present detour
arrangement.
Highway officials indicated that
there is likely to be no change IN
the detour arrangement, however.

This was the advice Of G. e.
Knepper, president of Emerson B.

address at the luncheon Of the Ad-
vertising Club Thursday in the Co.

BEAUTY CHATS
Our Reducing Diet.

Let's 60 on with the Hollywood diet,
we are almost done with It.
Breakfast as always-hAh @ grape
fruit, or preferably, the juice Of an
orange, q slice of toast and Q cup Of
coffee. I'd take this with sacchartne,
and with hot milk, never with cream,
and no butter for the toasti
Luncheon Is an egg, q tomato, grape
fruit and coffee. Dinner Is brotled
steak, spinach and an orange.
I'd have the egg scrambled and make
salad by using lettuce with the toma-
TO- I'd have q large slice of toast and
forget that grapefruit Dinner Is all
right, only I'd add q slice of toast, and
have the orange sliced; it makes 1t look
more like q dessert then.
OF course, the eighteen day diet
uses so much grapefruit because it is
one Of the mountaineering foods, be-
cause It supplies the body with some
beneficial acids, because 1t helps scour
the stomach. But don't believe In so
much Of 1t, too many Of US suffer from
acidity Of the stomach anyway, and
lots and lots Of fat people have this
complaint in spite Of q tradition that
fat person digests everything easily.
The Hollywood diet reduces by CIV
ing you a daily menu Of low calorie
value. You can reduce on a diet Of
1900 calories day, about two pounds
a week. The diet Is less than that,
week on it. That isn't healthy nor
wise. But it gives daily menus in con-
venient form so print it herewith
occasional notifications suggested as
we 60 along.

cold cream and use ice around your

Household Methods
By BETSY CALLIsTER.

1t might seem to future generations
who studied the furniture and houses Of
today as compared with those Of q gen.
Grafton or so ago, that the race of men
and women was becoming shorter. Our
furniture Is so much lower and, while
ceilings are not universally lower, the
pictures on our walls are placed very,
very much lower.
Beds, for instance, are very much
lower, and there is tendency to make
them lower still. Chairs and lounges
are likewise low, and at several rather
informal studio parties lately the feast
has been served from tables barely
foot from the floor, with the guests re-
clining on low divans in truly Roman
fashion.
It is not always possible to find fur
niture as low as you might like It,
Lounges are often made too high, but it
is not difficult matter to have them
lowered. An interesting divan may be
made by having top of box spring and
mattress made the desired size with q
low metal frame to hold it. This is
then CO cred with fitted cover or with
a large robe thrown over 1t.
Doubtless one reason for this lowering
is the passing of stiff clothing. When
women wore tightly laced corsets 1t
would be asking too much of them to
sit on low tuffet or pouffe, or to lounge
on a divan barely foot from the floor.
Now the girl who wears corSets only to
make her appear uncorsetted finds such
low seats entirely to her taste.
