MICHAEL ARLEN
 DONE WITH ALL
 MODERN WOMEN
Author Says They Have Made Their Lives Dull- Iris March of "The Green Hat" Is Dead Says Same Author
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff COrPeSDOnCle]

New York, Feb 6. CUP) - From this day on women will have to shape their destinies without the ad- vice and consolation of Michael Ar len who thinks they have made their lives dull anyway. And what is more, Iris March of 'The Green Hat who was a pat tern for the postwar woman is dead. If you remember your fiction of five years ago you will recall that Iris committed suicide in the clos ing chapter of "The Green Hat but to-day it was done all over again. Arlen wrote her death warrant in blue cigarette smoke as he sat in his Fifth Avenue hotel and then executed her with a phrase. Now Iris March was that shame full, shameless lady" the finest flower of London's Mayfair. In this coun- try she was interpreted by two of Americas most glamorous women Miss Katherine Cornel l of the stage and Miss Garbo of the screen. She set the fashion for the postwar girls who wore trench coats with turned up collars, borrowed cigar cites, swore on appropriate occa- sions and tried ever so desperately to be wicked as they contemplated the futlllty of existence.
 'Yes, Iris and her type is dead" said Arlen. II think she went to Heaven, but that is not saying where she ought to have gone. Now we have the modern woman.
 ''They are having a dull time. They have let the men out of a lot of pleasant duties that they were perfectly willing to perform. They have given the men more freedom, which the men do not need. And they have made their own lives that much duller.'
 M. Arlen lifted his shoulders to in- dicate he was through with the mod ern woman, and great stiffness set tied over New York, and, Of course, the conversation came back to Iris March and the green hat that she wore, as the author phrased it, pour le sport.'
 "Ah. Iris. Is it possible that peo- pie still remember her? She was the result of a youthful dream-my ideal woman. Of course, want her to be in Heaven where she will be happy"
 The 35-year-old author seemed as much concerned about the life-be yond-the-grave habitation of Iris as he was about his wife and small son whom he left at Cannes to blaze trail to Hollywood.
 We shed a tear for Iris and man. aged to squeeze out another one for the modern woman who has "be- come ever so dull' and then Arlen turned to apply himself to movie scenario, remarking:
 People like Iris and the modern woman are important, I suppose"
 No one supposed to the contrary, and if she is correct it may be sup posed that that is why you have just finished reading this.

SOLDIER BONUS
 COMPROMISE IS
 BEING DRAFTED
Hoover Regime Has Decid= ed to GO Along the Lines Proposed By Owen D. Young, a Democrat
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

(Omtcu fTcSS StaH correspondent
 Washington, Feb 6- (UP) A compromise bill which would in crease loans on veterans adjusted service certificates was being drafted today by republican members of the house ways and means committee with administration backing. ,; would cost the government about $50o,000.o00.
 .s The measure will be presented .u the committee next week when Il begins to consider bonus proposa $. after concluding it's hearings yeste :, day. Republicans members. with their majority, expect to report it favorably.
 Presentation for action depends upon a canvass being made by Speaker Longworth to see if the bill could be pushed through in the form approved. If it appears the house would not accept it, the measure would be held up for some other compromise.
 However republican leaders have found spirit of compromise in th" house, especially noticeable since Owen D. Young. chairman of the board of General Electric and 3 leading democrat. opposed the straight cash bonus and suggested aOVdHCeS only to needy veterans.
 The republican compromise. how ever, is designed to apply to all vHt- erans, instead of only those uneEl- ployed and in need.
 The limit of cost has been fixed tentatively at $500, 900. the limit set by Young, but it may go higher. Brig. General Frank T. Hines, ad - ministrator of veterans affairs, fig ured that an increase of the limit of loans z2 1-2 per cent of the value of the certificate to 90 per cent would cost about $742, 100000.
 In drafting the bill, it is the aim to take the $500. 100000 limit and then fix the percentage of increase or the loan to meet that. II is fig ured the maximum increase would amount t. $500 beyond present loan value, S225. On the maximum cer- tificate oe l,50O matured value ID 1945.
 The bill also would reduce the in terest rate on all loans on certificates from six to four percent
 The cost will be far below that of the full Cash payment, $3,500, 900, 900 tbillionsJ abandoned in both house and senate.
