work was concerned the studio
loaned her to Warmers, only to
discover that they had placed
themselves in a perplexing stu.

several sequences and make q
few retakes.
Miss Powers was in the midst
of production on the Warner lot
and could not be spared, hence
the substitution. BY putting Miss
Johnson in the role some five
or six days must be spent in
retaking the scenes in which the
former leading lady has ap'

The company was away on 10

Miss Powers did not appear in
any of these scenes. Opposite

Because Of its inability to
cover operation costs, the Mich,

j. H. Michelin. vice president
of the company, in explaining
the closing Of the >company's 7nly

The company'S Midtown plant,
after operating. since 1907, was

system Of Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration took the limelight in
Common Pleas Court here as op-
posing forces today continued
their battle over the legality Of
the merger Of Bethlehem with

Opponents of the steel consol:-

the bonus matter through the
crosS-examination Of w. B. Camp

cern whose figures were the basis
for the merger terms.
Under questioning Of Clan
Crawford, anti-merger attorney,
Campbell declared yesterday that
he did not consider the $3. .4OO, 600
paid to Bethlehem executives un.
der the bonus system in 1929 as
unusual but that he regarded it

The plaintiffs contend that the
"unheard Of" bonuses paid BY
Bethlehem support their theory
that the merger Is unfair to Sheet

Anderson Attacks
Federal Reserve on

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. IL,
The Federal Reserve System was
criticized for It's effort to create
cheap money artificially by Ben.
janiTl NJ. Anderson. jr., economist,
Chase National Bank, New York,
DR.. Anderson spoke today before
the Indiana Bankers Association,
''The gold position Of the Fed

ability Of the system to maintain

The adequacy Of the present
volume Of free gold should be
judged, DIR. Anderson declared,
with respect to the need Of q
period Of normal activity rather
than with respect to the existing
trade depression and q season Of
the year when money in circula-
tion is normally low, even in good
years.
Gold Depletion Causes
Summarizing the effect of an
attempt on the part Of Federal
Reserve authorities to meet a
trade revival by increasing their
purchases Of Government Securi-
ties to such an sextent as would
hold money easy. DR.. Anderson
declared that free gold would Suf-
fer depletion from the following
causes:

BROKERS STILL

Some irregularity due to profit
taking was predicted for the mar
ket in brokerage circles today.
The long side Of the market was
believed the best at the present
time, and while minor recessions
we're forecast from time to time
the general trend was believed to
be upward.
Yesterdays market was quite
satisfactory. There was no signs
Of weakness in any place along
the line, while on the other hand
new points Of strength made their

General Motors
General Motors sloppy market
action for the past few days is
explained In the report that earn
ing for the third quarter may not
cover the IS cents dividend re-
quirenent on the common. This
will probably cause some down
ward revision In the profits for the
year, estimated in some quarters
at about 81 q share. At that
Motors should cover its So diyi-
dend with something to spare,
ana the effect on the stock mar
ket-wise probably won't be much.
There seems no reason. how
ever, for any bun move in any
of the motor stocks for q while.
Few Of the leaders expect any
real automobile buying to develop
until next spring, and that's q
bit too far of to start discount
ing now. There is the question,
too, Of whether all the bad news
Is out on the motors, for current
selling prices Of Hudson. Nash,
Studebaker. and others raise
doubt as to the safety Of their
dividspds.
The oils frightened up Q bit
and one floor trader said they
looked good for move. There has
been bulliSh news on the petro-
lellm situation in the last few
days. Gasoline stocks are now
down more, refinery operations
have been reduced and the Julian
writ, threatening crude oil pro-
ration, has been vacated in Okla
homa. Stick to the leaders, like
Jersey or Standard Of California,
IL you: are going to play the oils.

Baldwin


I hear that the best buying in
Baldwin took place below 80 and
that the subsequent bulge to 35
recently was purely speculative in
character.
Big interests are said to have
taken q large long position IN

to the compaIy's better earnings
this year and its ability to get a
larger share Of the railroads loco
motive business, understand, but
more to- the report that Baldwin
is planning a large expansion
program. This will be concen-
trated In its machinery Subsid-
iaries it is said to add to the
Cor1pany's diversification Of pro-
ducts and work for greater sta
bility of earnings. Those who are
in the know in Baldwin aren't
buying it at current levels. I am
told.
Increase of $3S,OOO,O0O in brok-
ers' loans Is further evidence of
increasing public participation in

Headgea1"Of
This Season
Elaborate
BY JEAN PATOU
Written for NEA Service

PARIS. April ga woman'S per
sonality invariably reveals itself IN
her choice Of hats.
Her clothes may be indicative OF
many elements in her character, but
her hats stamp her personality much
more wildly. Most women will wear
the successful dress of the season
more or less well, but there are
thousand different angles at which
the same shape can be worn, every
angle expressing a very different
personality.
This seasons hats, besides being
more elaborate than at any time
since the war, also are much more
individual than the monotonous felt
shape Of past seasons.
Definite Change Made
Until snow, hat styles had not
evolved in the same degree as dress
styles. Last years shapes did not
show any noticeable change from
the "little felt hat" that compile
mented the chemise frock, but the
coming season will see the definite
return Of dressier hats, in keeping
with the more formal gowns.
There are many women who do
not know the why and wherefore of
a hat. They have some idea that
the necessary touch Of color in
dark ensemble can be put in the hat
alone. This is quite wrong. Either
the hat or the trimming must recall
a detail Of the dress to insure per-
lection.
However successful hat may be,
it can never be anything but an ac-
cessory. True, it is the most i'm
portant of all accessories and as
such, it must harmonic with the en-
semtle, not form too striking a con-
trast
Never before has the hat appeared
in the guise of a tributary as well
as complement to the dress.
Shapes Are Larger
The new spring fashions, as well
as days full of sunshine, created the
need for larger hat" shapes than
had been worn in many years.
1t was but a simple and natural
deduction that picture hats would
soon follow in the wake of the
longer skirt of the formal afternoon
gown. These new shapes are often
Of delicate pastel shades, completing
the new color harmOnieS, and all
have soft, supple brimS.
think these new hats are becom-
ing to women. They reveal less
forehead and cast softening
shadow around the face without re-
linquishing anything of the smart
ness Of the brimless hats.
