ASSERTS COPPER
INDUSTRY NEEDS
TOBEPROTECTED

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 20. lUP
Unless copper is removed from the
free list and protected by an ade-
quate tariff, the industry IN the
United States faces virtual rum de-
clared Scott White, Arizona secre-
tary of state.
While copper mines in this country
are either shut down or operating
under radical curtail.nent, the coun-
try is being flooded by copper cheap
ly produced in foreign countries, ne
said.
Copper operations - particularly
deep mines-are expensive to work
in this country" he pointed out,
"On the other hand, foreign copper
comes from surface mines worked
by unskilled native labor and cheap
ly transported to thi5 country by
water"
White said the cope. tariff ques-
ton was of primary importance in
Arizona where half the states tax
able wealth is represented by the
copper industry.
Production and consumption OF
copper in the United States are
about balanced" he commented
Little surplus would be available
for shipment to other countries II
the importation of foreign copper
was properly controlled
What is to be desired is tar!f.

dustry to enable it TO meet the for

MARIE DRESSLER
UNW0RRIED OVER
ADVANCING AGE
BY DUANE HENNESSY
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20. U.P)-At
so, Marie Dressler has more real
vim, vigor and vitality than any
20-year- old. even if she does tip
the scales at 180 pounds.
She spares neither time nor en-
ergy. She has endured all the
hardships Of old-time trouping and
of rough-and-tumble comedi-
enne's existence. She has suffered
many sorrows, and she still finds
life immensely worth living.
Marie Dressler refuses TO allow
herself to think that she is grow
ing old. She simply ignores the
matter. There is no attempt at
false youth She is utterly free
from the pathetic and tragic ef-
forts which SO many women make
to keep a youngness which has LETT
them. She is just herself with the
dignity OF her calendar years and
the spirit of girl.
Miss Dressler can endure almost
unbelievable physical eXertion in
her pictures. She and Wallace
Beery fought in Min and Bill for
several days. When the director
suggested that Marie be careful
she merely said
Don't worry about me. What
do you think I am, an old woman?'
So she and Beery went on fight
ing, in and out and around a room.
When they were breathless, they
sat down and rested. Then they
went back 10 the fray. How does
she do it?
There isn't any secret" she said.
The entire answer lies in regular
ity and taking care OF yourself
mentally as well as physically
There are only three really import
ant things in life: health, happi
ness, and love. Be careful that YOU
guard all three
After Miss Dressler has finished
a particularly strenuous period Of
activity, she goes to bed and stays
there until her nervous force and
vitality are rebuilt. She eats her
meals in bed and reads and rests
and completely relaxes.

CLIFFORD TO Be
IN FULL CHARGE
OF RELIEF WORK

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. U.P) -
President Hoover's emergency pro-
gram developed today in a manner
indicating that Walter S. Clifford
will stand at the Presidents right
hand this winter to exercise wide
powers as national administrator of
relief and employment projects.
Clifford goes to work here Mon
Gay. A desk is ready for him at the
commerce department.
In selecting Clifford and deter
mining his responsibilities, Presi-
dent Hoover is adopting the tactics
which led President Wilson during
the war largely to centralize the
tremendous emergency problem of
food conservation with single in
dividual. In that instance the indi-
vidual was Mr.. Hoover.
II was explained at the White
House today that the job contem-
plated for Clifford was executive and
not deliberative. Mr.. Hoover ap-
parently wants no reports on relief
and employment. He has assigned
Clifford the job of meeting those
two problems with executive action.
The 46-year-old president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company has been told to organize
and direct relief as we'll as employ
ment efforts. He will have an ad-
ViSory committee, to be appointed
by Mr.. Hoover. Fred C. CroXton,
acting chairman of the President 5
emergency committee on employ
ment, will be Gifford's assistant.
Clifford is classified as q volur-
teer. His advisory assistants will
be volunteers. Responsibility will
center on the young communications
executive.
Mr.. Hoover hopes Gifford's ef-
forts will counteract the multiplying
demands for federal appropriations
and an extra session of congress.
Senator Reed, Republican, Penn
sylvania, today issued through his
office here a rebuke to Governor
Pinchot for making relief demands
on the federal government.
Pennsylvania is solvent" Reed
said, "her credit is perfect and she
is lust as we'll able to raise the mon
ey to help her unemployed as she
is to bear her share OF a federal
fund for that purpose"

Wife Seeking To
Obtain Expenses

An outgrowth of a $4,000 alien
alton of affections suit iiled by
John P. Riley against Boyce Jones,
a divorce suit filed by Riieys wife,
Leona May, began in Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson's superior court today
with hearing on an order to show
cause why Riley should not pay his
wife's expenses during the suit.
Evidence in the actual divorce &C
ton will be heard later. Judge
Thompson this morning ruled Ri
ley must pay SIS attorneys fees and
SIS court costs for his wife.
In her suit Mrs. Riley charged
extreme cruelty on the part OF her
husband, alleging he charged her
with conducting affairs with other
men.
These charges by Riley took le-
gal form when he filed an aliena-
ton of affections suit, asking S25.-
900 damages from Boyce Jones,
whom, he said, caused his wife to
lose affection for him

The majority waited for proof of a dollars and
