William Powell screendom's great cosmopolte, whose powerful DOT trayals of worldly men have gained him a fan mail greater than any other demi-villain of the film world, will be seen and heard in an- other highly dramatic production when Paramount's For the De- fense" now play at the Strand,
 For the Defense" is a story of a brilliant and crafty attorney whose sensational work in the courts of the big city attracts worldwide atten- tion.
 He is so successful in defending his clients. many of them criminals with vicious past records, that he incurs the enmity of the police. It is this animosity which plays a part in bringing Powell himself before the bar of justice as 9 prisoner.
 Through a series of thrilling dra- matic twists the story shows Powell faced with a jail threat from which he cannot escape without incriminat. ing the woman he loves. The finale packs terrific dramatic wallop.
 Kay Francis, who was Powells neglected wife in Street of Chance" is not nearly SO neglected in the role of his sweetheart in For the Defense" Many movie critics have picked Miss Francis as the ideal teammate for Powell. In For the Defense" she certainly fulills the choice. Her work is better here than ever in her long series of support ing roles in the talkies.
 For the Defense" was written by Oliver H. P. Garrett, author of Street of Chance and is based on q story by Charles Furthmann. for mer criminal defense lawyer who left brilliant record in Chicago to enter the field of motion picture writing.

DRESS YOUR CHILDREN

Washington. Aug. II Pl-No nightie, no socks, no shoes no slip. no shirt for baby this hot weather. That's today advice from the United States children's bureau.

 The childrens bureau advice coin cided exactly with the health habits Of the most modern babies of the capital city.
 Instead of the hemstitched and beribboned wardrobes of yester- year, many a 1880 baby here has as it's chief pride one delicate suit of suntan.
 By the children's bureau by phy- sicians of the capital city, and by mothers, the loss of much of the old fashioned 'layette" is regarded as baby's gain.

 Party for Four Days

Orange, N. J.. Aug. Ii UP)- Messages received here by his daughter revealed today that New man D. Waffl, 51, for more than 70 years headmaster of the exclu- sive Carteret academy for boys has been lost four days in the Canadian Rockies.
 Mrs. J. j. O'Connor Of 451 High land avenue, Orange, Waffl's daugh- ter, said her information is that her father is four days overdue at his base camp after he had set out alone in an attempt to scale Mount Robson which is 12,972 feet high.

Searchers on the mountain have signaled back to the alley that they are una ble to locate Waffl. He left the camp Tuesday morning and was expected back not later than Wednesday night.

LIVESTOCK LOSE LIVES
 IN LAKEVILLE BARN FIRE
Volunteer Bremen Battle for Three Hours With Stubborn Blaze
 On Estate of Frank White

Laheville, Aug. II P-After rag ing for more than three hours de- spite the efforts of scores of volun- teer firemen, a fire. believed to have been started by spontaneous com bustion, completely destroyed a large barn on the property of Frank White of Lakeville, burning to death more than IS horses, calves and other livestock and causing damage estimated at more than s35,00O late last night.
 At midnight the barn, one of the largest in this section and for years a familiar landmark in the Lake vile section, had been reduced to a charred mass of glowing embers, iampercd by lack of water, firemen were unable to get the flames un- der control. They succeeded, how ever, in saving the farmhouse, sev- cral smaller buildings and three large haystacks, all grouped closely about the barn.

CLARA BOW AT EMBASSY

"Rarin' to Col" Clara Bow and gang of Paramount's most con- vulsing comedians. including Mitzi Green, Skeets Gallagher and Stuart Erwin, the dumb AXel Of "Sweetie, ? now showing at the Embassy in one of the "It' girls biggest hits. Love Among the Millionaires.'
 Full of the real redheaded pepper and throbbing love. Love Among the Milionalres" is really Clara Bows first musical romance. Intro duced effectively as a screen singer of note in Paramount on Parade and then in True to the Navy. Clara Bow now steps forth as the New Anna Held gloriously ra- diant with a voice that puts a quar- tet of hot hit ballads over as no other could.
 Karin to Go" is only one of them but this song, 8. real jazzy dance number, probably gives the greatest play to the Bow personality. Then Believe It or Not, I've Found My Man" is a joyous lyric Of the scorch type. Clara follows this with rendition of the radio riot, That's Worth While Waiting For.' The theme song ofthc picture, That's Love Among the Millionaires, IS her fourth number.
 Little Mtzic Green, who won hearts everywhere with her imita- tions of Charlie Mack of Moran and Mack, of Chevalier and Helen Kane in Paramount on Parade" mimicks Clara Bow in this picture, and sings a song, Don't Be a Meanie.' which rivals Jack Oakie's Alma Nanny in 'SWeetie.
 Skeets Gallagher, Oakie's pal in Fast Company" and The Social Lion" has a strong comedy role with Stuart Erwin. Both these young men are candidates for the hand Of Clara Bow and their intense rivalry provides running fire Of comedy.

Professor Persons Asserts 5,O00,0O0 Americans Are Out of Work-Says That Many With Jobs Are Not Employed.

Washington, Aug. II - Millions are unemployed but have jobs.
 Millions have jobs but no en- ployment.
 Millions have been laid off or are on part time yet are not among the unemployed.
 Out of this brew of wordy defini- tions emerges the administration thesis that the total of unemployed in the United States is only 2.QO0.- 900; which has caused Professor Charles E. Persons, who came here U help enumerate the unemployed for the census bureau, to resign in disgust. He says the total of idle is actually 5,OO0,000.
 Professor Persons, who has taught at Wellesley, Prinoetcn and Northwestern universities, charged the department of commerce with juggling unemployment figures in order to help the political situation confronting the administration.
 Instead of counting the un- employed, Professor Persons says, the census bureau confined itself to counting the jobless, which results in much smaller total.
 Points Out Discrepancies
 He explained it this way:
 When Secretary Lamont on June 2G announced there were only in the neighborhood of 2.000,000 un- employed" he had in mind the job less and not the unemployed.
 This statement of Mir Lamont, Professor Persons said, ''caused a mild sensation. but it was soon real ized that the result did not properly

DECISIVE BATTLE
 IN CHINA REPORTED
Nati0naliSts and Rebels Clash for Shantung Province

Shanghai, Aug. | P-The long heralded crucial battle between Ma tionalist and rebel armies for the rich province of Shantung appeared to be under way today with the bel ligerent forces advancing conflicting claims regarding the trend of fight ing
 Nationalist military sources said their attacking forces were contin- uing their advance upon Tsinan, provincial capital. Capture of Tsin- an was held by Nationalists to be a matter of a few days.
 Reports from the northern rebels Said their general, Yen Heishan, had halted the Nationalists with machine gun and artillery fire near Taian and Feicheng and had inflicted heavy casualties on government forces.
 Battle in Honan
 There were similar conflicting claims of the tide of battle in Honan province. Feng Yu Hsiang. north ern general, claimed decisive victor les along the Haichow -Tungk railway. Feng also claimed the cap ture of Kveiteh and Mamutsi, i'm portant Honan cities. and the seiz- ure of large supplies of military goods and foodstuffs.
 Nationalists asserted their forces had driven off Feng's troops with heavy losses and denied the alleged northern capture of kveiteh and Mamutsi.
 The northerners were believed here to have suffered considerab ble losses in Shantung and were seek ing to neutralize these reverses by pounding Nationalist positions in Honan. The Nationalists were known to have assembled in Shantung the largest airplane offensive unit yet seen in China. At least 35 armored planes, equipped with machine guns, were in use against the rebels.
 The Chinese press here said the combined casualties of the National ist and northern rebel forces in Shantung last week totalled 100000 but this was considered excessive. It was believed, however, that thousands of soldiers had fallen.

BRITISH BEAT BACK
 AFRIDI TR|BESMEN
''GateWay to India" Safe After
 Opening Of Assault

Simla. India, Aug. II P-Pesha- war, northwestern frontier key city, and far-fung outpost of the British Empire, remained today inviolate after two days efforts by 10000 raiding Afridis tribesmen to capture it.
 Although a mass attack by the Afridis from beyond the Afghan border has not developed, British defenders, many of them Sepoys. have beaten back tribesmen who have made several important sallies.
 At least six Indian troopers were killed in the action in the orchards of Hazarkhahi. Heavier losses were inflicted on raiders. who cut tele- graph lines east and south out of the city. Communication was diff cult, Only scant dispatches came through.
 Supply Depot Protected
 The six troopers were said to have been ambuscaded in the or chard and killed by a first volley. Others patrolling the orchard were unhorsed but returned the fire of the tribesmen who then made for the military supply depot, where cavalry, artillery and airplanes com bined against them in a counter-at- tack The attacking force was beat en back.
 There was skirmishing all day Saturday and Sunday in other quar- ters of the outskirts of PeshaWar between the tribesmen and the Brit ish defenders. At Sorazai the troop CTS inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers.
 At one time a party got close enough to Peshawar to set on fire small warehouse containing army telegraph stores. British soldiers surrounded them and killed six. The fire was quickly eXtinguished.
 Snipers Menace City
 Expert Afridi marksmen have kept up an incessant sniping which has become a menace to the city. Sympathizers from the surrounding villages apparently are feeding and sheltering the invaders, whose forces are being augmented somewhat by endorsements arriving from across the Afghan border.
 Some late Peshawar dispatches in- dicated that while the Afridis were far from giving up their battle for the city, which would be rich in loot for them their enthusiasm for the venture was diminishing rapidly in the face of the British defense.
 It was said that heavy reinforce ments were being sought, and that the Haji of Turangzai, long promi- nent in the anti-British movement here was being appealed to for aid. Value of Bombing Planes In Doubt
 There were discrepancies in re- ports of the value the British have derived from their bombing planes. force has inflicted many casualties and has shaken the morale of the invaders. Others say the Afridis have operated in small parties and by skillfully taking to cover in the caves have suffered comparatively little from the air attacks.
 While the value of this arm of the service in such a country and against such enemies is being ques- tioned here, it seemed that at least the air force has insured the Brit ish against a mass attack.

erating in the orchards and gardens outside the city walls.
 Sunday afternoon the aviators re- newed their bombing of the ravfnes that run from east to south of Pe- shawar beyond the cultivated tract of land at Badaber. These ravines start 12 miles from Peshawar near Bara. fort and reach to within less than a mile of this city, ending near Phandu village on the south.
 AS the result of fight with the Poona horse (native cavalry) at Phandu yesterday, thirteen were killed and wounded.
 (The above paragraph apparently was garbled and does not specify whether the dead were Afridis or cayalrymen.)

Unfriendly Haji Invited to Join

PeshaWar. India, Aug. II tUP) Defending troops which have turned back. repeated Afridi tribal attacks on Peshawar in the last three days were prepared today against the additional threat of an advance by the powerful forces of the notorious Haji of Turangzai.
 Coincident with the tribal pro- posals to the Haji that he move his forces against Peshawar, Risalpur and Cherat, the frontier authorities were forced to send troops to Now shera, some 30 miles distant. to meet indications of an Afridi attack there.
 The proposals to the Tai of TurangZai. who was warned by British authorities last spring when he advanced toward Peshawar, ap- parently were made by the leaders of the assault on Peshawar, but it was not known whether the hostile chieftain would join in the tribal warfare.
