Enthusiasm and curses are present
in almost equal parts in Ann Hard
ings attitude toward Devotion" the
picture in which she is now being
starred by RKO Pathe, and which is
coming to the Capitol Theatre, show
ing today and Thursday.
The enthusiasm is caused by the
story, which the blonde star heartily

Harding's own urging that RkO
Pathe executives became interested IN
"A Little Flat In the Temple" the
novel by Pamela Wynne on which 1t IS
based. The whimsical comedy ana
Barriesuue lightness of the story ap-
pealed so thoroughly to Ann that she
felt she could not be happy until sne
had brought it to the screen.
However, every rose has Its prlckly
addenda. The thorn in this case, ac-
cording to Miss Harding, is the TACT
that the picture was made IN the
midst of one of Californias hottest
spells of unusual weather.
Since she represents a young girl
masouerading as middle-aged nurse
to be near the man she loves, Miss
Harding was obliged to wear heavy
garments of bombazine and serge dur

Of drafting legislative policy We'd

son referred to him as "the great sta

second with 19,080.
Congressman Louis r. McFadden Of
PENNSYLVANIA, who addressed the con-
vention Tuesday, blamed control OF
international finances for present
economic difficulties.
He charged the federal reserve sys-
tenn is more concerned with financing
big business" and Europe than indi-
viduals. Rather than for such lines
of endeavor, the federal reserve sys-
TEN was planned to provide funds for
all banks and to tide over business In
times of distress.
"Is it fair" he asked, that our for
eign competitors be financed at the
federal reserves cheap rate OF inter-
eSt?"
Representative McFadden, chair
man Of the house banking and cur
,rency committee, traced present con-
ditions from the period of initiation
shortly after the war.
Responding to demand for in
creased production, factories were
able to dispose of their surplus
abroad, Representative McFhdden
said Farmers, however. could not
control markets and were caught In
a period of drastic deflation.

On Perfect Suit0r

Evanston, Ill, Nov. 18.-(P)-
The football hero isn't so popu-

with many Of the co-eds of
Northwestern university.
What must your perfect man
be, and what do you think Of So
SO dating?"
These responsible for the Ques-~
tionS said the concensus was that
the perfect man must be athletic
but not an athlete, must have per-
sonality but not conceit, must be
intellectual, tall, considerate and
ambitious.
AS to $3.50 dating the co-eds
were very much opposed to the
idea, one of them saying the girls
spend oil their money on clothes
to make themselves attractive
and have no money left for

TO DISMISS
THREE CHARGES IN
MINNESOTA CUSTER
Trade Practices Of Farmers
Union Under Scrutiny
Before Governor

st. Paul, Nov. 18.--(F)-Governor
Floyd B. Olson Wednesday denied
motions to dismiss three charges In
.volving trade practices of the. Farm
ers Union Terminal association In the
second days hearing Of removal pro-
oeedings against the state railroad
and warehouse commission.
One charge, dismissed by the gov
ernor Tuesday, was Mullins allega-
ton the union acted illegally BY
charging its members and others a
commission for the sale of grain
when bouvht by itself for its own
account. The governor ruled the
union had been acting legally.
Arguments Wednesday conferred
about the charge by Mullin that ex-
cessive and exorhibitant handling
charges on grain covered by farm
storage loans were made by the un.
ion, a charge Of eight cents bustlel
being deducted.
Nichols declared this was mate
rial charge and that fees exaoted by
the union constituted q commission
OH loans made by the government to
farmers.
Davis objected to the statement
that the loans involved entirely gov
ernment money, asserting that the
loans were made by the intermediate
credit banks. He said farmers lost
no money in the transactions and
that the charge was q proper service
fee.
Nichols moved that the plea Of in
tervention presented by Davis Tues
day be stricken. He specified the
charges in the plea made by Davis
that the entire proceeding was a
plot on the part of the Minneapolis
chamber Of commerce, the Duluth
board of trade and other private
grain gamblers to injure the Farm
ers Union Terminal association and
the whole cooperative movement" as
"libelous and scurrilous." He said
the entire proceeding was brought in
good faith. Davis objected.
Il can prove, and will prove, that
this whole thing originated with the
Minneapolis chamber of commerce
and Others" Davis shouted.
Governor Olson said. while he did
not approve of all Of the language in
the plea of Intervention, he consider
ed it proper that it remain in the
record.
M. w. Thatcher, general manage,
| Of the Farmers Union Terminal as.
sociatio1, was called as a witness b,
the prosecution to testify regarding
the corporate set-up of the Farmers
