Martin fshed Pamperl out Of the

like branching current of electricity,
such a warmth and force that he
started back. He looked up and met
the look Of those brown eyes of which

to the springboard and straight as an

magnificent dive as if at the start of

And has Blondell solved the Gable

"Gable?" queried blond Joan,
Now here is one that's going to

He came in with hard times. At
a time when most women, for ex-

Gable suggested both. But he does
not have sex appeal.
Dick Barthelmess! His is the
appeal that has lasted for years.
He's the sort women fall desperately

tender looking.
Sex Appeal Is Elusive

Joan said William Powell was the

All of which leads to the belief
that sex appeal is a very elusive

Joan admitted as much and said
she very much objected to people

Pinchot's victory results from the
resignation late Tuesday Of w. D.
B. Ainey, chairman of the commits
sion for the last seventeen years,
whom. Pinchot charged with being
100 friendly with the utilities and
100 indifferent to the people Ten
days ago Pinchot filed charges
against Ainey alleging:
First, that he permitted the
Philadelphia company, controlling
the Pittsburgh public service COM
panies, to pay his s3073.40 bill at
Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore
from Dec. %, 1925, to April 9, 1926
Perjury Is Charged
Second, that he permitted the
mitten interests Of Philadelphia to
pay his transportation to Europe in
1927.
Third, that he committed per-
jury when he asserted under oath
that he never has been the recipi-
ent Of gifts or brides from any per-
son or corporation.
Fourth, that he has become a
rich man through property acquired
from improper sources"
The charges, which rocked the
state, were of such character that
senate hostile to Pinchot was 60
ing to investigate the allegations.
But Pennsylvania public utilities APP
parently did not want their activi-
ties brought into the open, and the
anti-Pinchot politicians in the legis-
lature preferred not to have any in
vestigation.

Ainey was persuaded to resign
