Vaughn de Leath
Hard Worker

Vaughn de Leath, first lady Of
the air, who appears this week at
the Earle Theater, has been &C.
cused by many of adopting radio
as a career because it required
so much less work than any other.
In addition to broadcasting
three times a week, and rehears-
ing every day for those broad
casts, Miss De Leath has also to
learn new songs, practically every
day, though her repertoire is even
now extensive. One must remem-
Der that she has sung more than
$4,000 songs during her 13 years
on the air.
But that is only one phase of

BLOCKED
ON BUTTER CURB
Output Continues to Mount
Despite Hard Efforts and

CHICAGO. December CP).-The
riddle of the Nations butter market
how 10 reduce production-becomes
more complex daily.
Instead of decreasing the output of
butterfat has mounted week BY week
even during cold weather, apparently
the result of 'pegged" cash butter
prices which have served as an impetus
to farmers to boost production
What the final upshot will be-with
stocks to complicate the situation
traders at the Chicago Mercantile Ex.
change refuse to hazard a guess.
Huge Purchases Made
Despite huge Government purchases
of butter - between 100000 and
100000 pounds in Chicago alone
since September 1.-The markets sur
plus excess of storage holdings over
last year, has increased more than that
amount
Although there has been a good
movement of stocks out of storage, say
officials of the exchange. the inward
movement has been almost as heavy,
with the result that little if any net
production in storage stocks has been
noted.
Meanwhile production is variously
estimated from 10 to Is per cent higher
than at this time last year. Accord
ing to reports received at tne exchange,
it has been increasing recently from
l to 16 per cent, from week to week,
in different areas.
Record Carryover Likely.
If present production conditions con-
tinue, officials of the exchange believe
next April's "carryover" possibly may
reach 1O0,OOO.OO0 pounds-more than
four times the volume of the largest
Carryover in the past. which was
22,90O,000 in the Spring Of 1890.
