New Stars

La Traviata" or "St. Louis
Tlues," they all come easy to
Harry Foster Welch, the one-man
band, who headlines the new floor
revue that Walter Won Herbu!iS
is offering to his Club Michel
patrons this week. Without the
help of any artificial means.
Welch can perfectly initiate IA
different musical instruments with
only his mouth and hands. A
master of this difficult art, he
has appeared at many of the ia
nous Charles M. Schwab social
functions.
Also among the new faces at
Club Michel are Leon Varkas and
Marguerite Vale, dancers. Lynn
Dore needs no introduction, tor
her grooming melodies have al
ready made her familiar to thea
ter-goers, who remember her in
several late musical successes.
Charlie Wright, the Club Michel
Trio and others are introduced by
Marty Rubin, the likeable master
of ceremonies.

Far East Travels
Newman's S 7 opic

E. M. Newman, versatile travel
lecturer, yesterday guided his
audience through that part of the
Orient which reaches from Sing
apore to Hong Kong, revealing
the beauties. splendor and daily
life of such diversified localities
as Java, Bali, the Philippines and
that most Chinese of all Chinese
Cities" Canton.
Singapore, crossroads of the
Far East, is a natural starting
point for such an itinerary, and
is interesting on its own account
as Britain's most strongly forti-
fled base in the Far East. Not
far away is Batavia, port of
Weltevreden, first objective in
Java. This tropical land, spot
lessly clean under the rule of the
Dutch, is famous for its luXuriant
vegetation and for its ability to
furnish a livelihood to a popula-
ton of 34,0O0,000 persons, though
Java itself is smaller than most
American states.
Notable among it's sights is a
great triangular Buddhist temple,
largest of the worlds shrines to
Gautama.
Just over night is Bali, familiar
to American audiences in recent
years from the many motion pic
lures made of the primitive life
there. Despite their proximity,
Java and Bali differ greatly in
culture, for the Javanese are
Budhists and the Balinese follow
the Hindu faith.

Thus, on the following night.
we all had dinner together
again. This time, there were
about eight of us. And while
the others were taking about
Mr.. Roosevelt's chances in 1885,
I spoke to Mrs. Jones.
I was quite frank in my ad-
miration for her. I told her
very honestly that the thing
she had done the previous night
had impressed me a very great
deal. I congratulated her on
her common sense.
Thank you," she replied,
"but my actions don't really
call for congratulations. I
worked the whole thing out in
my mind while Frank and I
were still engaged. And I've
just been living up to a for

Whenever he feels that he

He loves me dearly, and I know
it. I love him dearly. and he
knows it. I want to keep it
that way-always.
I tell you all this because
you, yourself, spoke to me
about it. I.would never under
take to explain my beliefs to
another woman because I don't
think that many women would
understand. I give Frank his
freedom-and we are always
happy to be together again.
But, meanwhile, our sense
of personal liberty is not de-
stroyed. Do you understand,
Mr.. Hellinger? Have I made
myself clear?"

honest admiration.

"And how I understand"
The following morning, at an
early hour, Mr.. Jones had me
on the phone. He seemed

wanted to see me. I told him
to come right up.

I muttered, I'D like to know

Mr.. Jones pounded his fist
on the table.

Budapest Snow

Budapest Snow
It's showing out now. And
It's not the kind of snow a man
might possibly enjoy either. It's
soft, mushy, nasty kind of snow
that turns into a muddy sluSh
as soon as it hits the ground.
I suppose I should be out
right now, gathering material
on government buildings and re-
porting on people in general.
But I'll be doggoned if 1 can get
myself to do it. I'm not in the
mood. From my room, as 1 write
this, I can see the Blue Danube
and it looks to me to be as
dirty river as ever 1 gazed
upon. And if the celebrated
and romantic Danube doesn't
look half as good as the Hudson
River back home, it's no time
for me to make further investi-
cations into the romantic lure
of old Hungary.
Tomorrow, if the weather
gets any better, I'll be able to
tell you more. But meanwhile,
here's a little story that I was
going to save for a Sunday. The
weather being what it is, how
ever, it will have to go now. So!
In Berlin, met a couple
whom I will refer to as Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones. We were intro
duced as mutual friends in the
lobby of the Esplanade Hotel
and it wasn't long before we
were dining together.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones we're both
from California, and they knew
a number of film people with
whom I was also acquainted.
Both the woman and her nus
band talked extremely well and
I enjoyed my meal immensely.
She seemed very much III owe
with her husband; he was un-
questionably in love with her,
Their affection for each other
made me slightly nervous.

I prepared to say goodnight to

FOR INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, July S. W.H =
Submission of a code of fair COM
petition for the women's apparel
industry was expected to give a
post-holiday impetus today to the
campaign to bring Americas in
dustries into the national recovery
campaign as rapidly as possible.
The apparel code will be followed
quickly by attempts to effect trade
agreements for iron and steel, oil,
coal, automobiles woolens and lum-
ber.
Earl D. Howard deputy admins
traitor was in New York today,
comforting with a committee of five
representatives of the apparel
trades.
At Howard's office here it was
said he expected to receive COM
pleted code while in New York. He
will remain there until tomorrow
or Friday.
The completed code was expected
to be ready tonight for presenta-
ton to a mass meeting of the in
dustry.
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson,
realizing success or failure of the
industry planning experiment de-
pends upon the promptness with
which it is put into operation, has
promised that everything possible
will be done to get several leading
industries started before the end
of July.
The question of prices promised
to prove exrtmely difficult. The
administration holds that moder-
ate increases are essential to re-
covery, but at the same time it is
determined to try to prevent run
away" gains that would squeeze
the consumer and nullify wage in
creaSeS.
Reports of attempted profiteering
have been confined largely to bread
and milk.
