SHAW REPEATS DENIAL.
Americans Funny Animals. He Says in
Miss Keller Disuute.


HAVANA, April 8 CP.-George Ber-
nard Shaw, who stopped of here today
in the course Of q world cruise which
will take him next to New York. denied
once again that he ever had said in the
presence Of Helen Keller that all Ameri-
cans are deaf, dumb and blind.
The American Is funny animal,
Mr.. Shaw said. Tell him he has nose
on his face and two eyes, and immedi-
ately he is insulted. The Italians and
the Russians are not SO dumb so deaf,
so blind. because they are tackling their
problems in new way"
Other Shaw comment: isn't Cuba in
dependent? But I suppose the United
States is the manager. That's logical
If the Cubans can't run the country
themselves, they get an American to
manage 1t.
why is there so much interest in
Hitler wonder Nobody knows what
he's driving at. His persecution of the
Jews puts him outside consideration.
Japan? Japan joined the League of
Nations like the others, without knowing
what 1t was. No real question ever is
referred to the League. It was Japan's
brilliant idea not to declare war, but
merely to attack. The nation which
formally declares war In the future will
be blown to bits before the ink is dry.
Those Englishmen accused Of sabot-
age in Russia-they will get fairer
trial there than they would In other
countries"

UNITE TO GIVE AID
TO WORKING GIRLS
rs Chicago Civic Groups Aim
to Save Them From Sal
ary SIashes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April S.-Protection of the
working girl. Heavens job according
to the words of q popular song Of the
sos, has become q major endeavor for
IS civic organizations, led by the
Women's Trade Union League
Not against designing males who
spread snares for the working girl Of
the song, but against employers, inter-
ested only in profits, were the organiza-
tions combining.
Driven to Despair.
Low wages, they said, had driven
more girls in Chicago to lower depths
of despair than ever before. Tales of
woe that tax credulity multiplied rap
idly as investigators found a major
welfare problem that In May will re-
suit in mass meeting here.
Miss Agnes Nestor Chicago, president
of the Women's Trade Union League,
who heads the committee, was prepar-
ing the report. Since she initiated the
investigation recently, the mail, she
said, had brought many promises Of
support from civic organizations and
witnesses ready to tell of sweat shop
methods.
Many letters were unsigned and 9TH

who still had one more blow to deal
luckless working girls, employed in
many cases. after repeated reductions,
at less than enough to feed, house and
clothe them.
Reports Of Cuts Probed.
I'VE accept no report Of unjust re-
ductions," Miss Nestor said, until we
investigate them. Girls and women
generally, except those in unionized
trades, have been made to suffer not
only in populous centers, but in small
towns as we'll In Chicago countless
girls, still holding jobs, have been driv-
en- almost to desperation.
This Is an extreme case A girl
working behind p perfume counter was
paid $14 week. First her pay was
cut to So and now 1t Is 81. That isn't
enough to live on.
Choking back their tears, girls are
walking bravely over miles Of Chicago's
sidewalks, back and forth, to work at
wages insufficient to permit them to ride
on the street cars. There is one shoe
factory under investigation where 500
girls work at a reported wage of 35
cents day. Many of them are forced
to do without lunch.
Suffer Price Cuts.
''Women's dresses and aprons, cheaper
now than ever, are the cause of much
suffering to the working girl Lately
we were asked to consider the profit
possible on a womans silk dress sold at
$685. whereas it formerly may have
cost $15.98. The cut in price is largely
at hte expense of women who put the
dresses together.
IF sale at $5.98 was bad, what must
the conditions be when silk dresses sold
in Chicago today at $2.98?
"One Chicago garment factory has
been reported paying cents a dozen
for sewing cotton aprons. That factory
urges women to take the garments
home, and many Of them not only
work late into the night to make a
showing but keep their children home
from school to help them. BY that
means they barely subsist"

aEx-Lady" al Stale
 SophIsiIcaied Drama

A cosmopolitan, sophisticated background marks the local for Bette Davis first starring picture. "Ex-Lady" at Warmers State to- day and tomorrow.
 Her pert and vivacious manner. coupled with her own type of charm, is given as the reason why "Ex-Lady" was considered as ideal for her first starring vehicle. The story is laid in the environ ment of New York'E Bohemia the colorful atmosphere of the ar- | tist colony---with other scenes laid | in Havana, casinos and night clubs. Against this shifting scene is played the story of two young peo- pie, each with a career and with advanced ideas which make love and marriage more of a problem to them than it is to workaday
 folk. Their solution provides tho
 story with a clever and novel climax.
 The film story is based on the original by Edith Fitzgerald and Robert Riskin, and was adapted for the screen by David Boehm. . A notable cast of players sup ports Miss Davis in her initial starring vehicle. Gene Raymond,
 noted for his work both on stage and screen, is seen in the leading masculine role. Others in the cast are Frank McHugh, Monroe Ows-
 ley, Claire Dodd, Kay Strozzi. Fer
 dinand Gottschalk, Alphonse Eth fer and Bodil Rosing.
 The companion feature is Zane Grey's most popular story "The Mysterious Rider" with a cast of new western stars Paramount has found" during the past six
 months. It is different from any western story yet to reach the
 screen and vastly entertaining. Saturday brings Secrets" Mary lPickford's first picture in more than two years and unquestionably
 the most noteworthy contribution
 "America's Sweetheart" has ever given the talking screen. Leslie Howard, star of "The Animal
 Kingdom" is seen as her leading man.
