Wed in Mexico to
Famed Beauty

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.
Everything comes in threes. The
third elopement within a week
is that of Boots" Mallory and
William Cagney.
The best trained butler in Hol-
lywood is in the employ of young
william, a brother of the famous
motion picture star, James Gag

when word came from Tia

lory had eloped to Mexico and
were married Saturday afternoon,
the telephones at the Cagney
house buzzed with inSistent news
paper reporters asking for infor-
nation. To all inquiries the stoical
Filipino boy gave the same
answer: "Mr. Cagney he gone to
studio"
Mr.. Cagney had not gone to
the studio, as the efficient butler
reported. Immediately after the
ceremony performed in the civil
court at Tia Juana, by Judge
Alexandra Batani, young Cagney
and his bride went into hiding
for an uninterrupted honeymoon.
The ceremony was performed
at 4 o'clock with the bride giving
her real name of Patricia Lillian

COLD CLAUSE
BASIS Of SUIT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26 GIN.
S.).-A decision was on file to.
day in o trust deed case uphold
ing the gold clause.
Superior Judge Emmet Wilson
in his decision denied an injunc-
ton sought by Mrs. Anna Berg
to restrain a bank from selling
property upon which she had de-
faulted.
Mrs. Berg maintained the bank
had given notice of sale of her
property for nonpayment of a
trust deed for $4,000 to be paid
in gold coin of the United States.
Her attorneys argued it was con-
trary to law to demand that an
obligation be paid in gold.
Bank attorneys said they had
offered to take any kind of
money.

BrUdstreet's Food
Index Rises in Week

A halt in the downward trend
of food commodities at wholesale
was noted during the past week
and prices moved to higher levels,
due to the persistent rumors Of
initiation now current.
AS a result, the weekly food in
dex, compiled by Dun & Brad
street, Inc, rose from $1.89 on
September IL to $1.92 on Sep
tember 19, an increase of 1.6 per
cent. 1t is now only slightly be-
low the comparative figure of a
month ago, and shows gain of
8.5 per cent over the correspond
ing date of last year when the
index registered SLIT.
Flour, wheat, rye, corn, oats,
barley, bellies, lard. butter, eggs,
sugar, cottonseed oil, potatoes and
hogs were all higher over the
week, while beans. steers, sheep,
and lambs declined.

QUAKE IN ITALY
BRINGS DEATH

ROME, Sept. 26 G.N.S).-Eight
persons were killed or injured in
a series of earthquakes which
rocked central Italy today, ac-
cording to an official announce
ment.
Premier Mussolini ordered i'm
mediate relief measures in the
affected areas.
The tremor was most severe in
the region of Sulmona and
Avezzano, between Rome and the
Adriatic Sea, which were de-
vastated in a historic quake 20
years ago.
Sulmona was evidently most
seriously affected, chimneys and
cornices toppling from many
houses and parts of several
ancient buildings crashing to the
ground.>
Twenty persons were injured in
Sulmona but only a few deaths
were reported.

HOME AID BONDS
: To Be USED To

k,y 80 o1ao~I L.,

BY International News Service
Aimed at increasing the LIQUID
ity of closed national banks,
Comptroller of the Currency j. F..
T. O'Connor has authorized re-
ceivers Of national banks to ex-
change mortgage holdings for
Home owners Loan Corporation
bonds.
This will enable the closed ma
tlonal banks to obtain loans from
the R. F. C. on the security of
home loan bonds, which are elig-
lble collateral at the rate of IS
per cent of the face value.
ReverseS Earlier Stand
O'Connor had ruled late in Au-
gust that pending further de-
velopments it would not be ad-
viSable for the home loan bonds
to be exchanged by receivers for
mortgages held of them.
In a letter to Chairman Will
liam F.. Stevenson, of the Federal
Home oLan Bank Board, O'Con-
nor said:
"Since writing you we have
been getting a rather positive
reaction from receivers in vari-
Gus sections of the country in
dicating that in their opinion
1t would be for the best in
tereStS of their trusts in many
instances to exchange their
mortgage assets for the home
owners loan corporation bonds.
"The law requires that ex-
changes be approved by court
order and that prior to the
filing of the court proceedings
the approval of the COmptrOl-
Ter be likewise given to the
exchange.
Receivers Get Instructions
1--WE have, therefore, decided
to send instructions to all re-
ceivers authorizing them to
submit for consideration Of
this office all cases in which
they believe 1t would be to the
advantage of their trusts to
make the exchange. We ex-
pect to systematic the opera
tions in this respect so as to
facilitate the process as much
rs possible. ~
1--WE expect, however, in each
case of proposed exchange, to
have contact with the
mort g agOr- debtor permitting
the bonds held by the receiver
to be utilized in acquiring the
mortgage held by the Home
Owners Loan Corporation as
may seem to be the advantage
Of the trust"

KNAVE'S GIRL =

Fifty-six people with all Of
their minds and all Of their
nerves bent on game. Fifty
six people as motionleSs as so
many figures cast in bronze.
I'D like to have a fire
cracker" whispered Patricia to
Haverholt, irreverently.
He frowned.
Keep your mind on the
tournament" he whispered back.
His look was stern. Mr.. San
derson and Mr.. Marr favored
her with glances of acute an
noyance. She subsided.
The referee clapped his
hands again. He liked his
job. He insisted upon un-
divided attention.
Were using the match point
system tonight" he shouted
in a strident, ear-splitting voice.
And, since we are playing
pairs, the progression will fol-
low what is known as the
Howell movement. Thus every
pair will meet every other pair
during the evening.

before. She hated her two slick
haired, thin-lipped opponents,
knew that they hated her.
That helped to steady her. She
would enjoy defeating Mr.. San
derson and Mr.. Marr. At the
moment she could think Of
nothing that she would enjoy
more. With Haverholt's hearty
cooperation, she succeeded in
trapping that confident pair
into an absurd over-bid on the
first hand. They attempted to
recoup on the second, went
hopelessly set second time.
Bad luck" snapped the
young man responsible for
most of the overbidding, as
he prepared. to move on to
the next table.
Bad play" corrected Haver-
holt gently. Nov if you would
only adopt my system. -"
He was addressing the empty
air.
Bravo" said Julian, grin
ming at Patricia. We'll get
tops on this table sure" He
added meditatively, And, all
because I got young Mr.. San
derson's goat. The possibilities
of goat-getting at bridge have
never been adequately explored.
If we could upset all of our
opponents tonight, insult them
in Just the proper way. we
might. -"

"That wouldn't be fair"
"They would love to upset
you, my dear"
mo one can now," she re-
turned steady-eyed.
: Good girl. Remember now,
we're going to walk off with old
Massa Blair's big silver cup"
Patricia nodded and grilnly
settled down to business. She
had never played more brilliant
or more understanding bridge.
Before the evening was half
over it was evident that she
and Julian would be the win
ming pair. They played with a
machine-lik precision ana per-
lection that was uncomfortable.
They did not always get high,
but they never got low. Moving
from table to table at the be-
hest Of the printed slips in the
boards, playing alternately
North and South and East and
West, they we're met by people
who had anticipated defeat and
who were defeated. Patricia
knew that the other players
were discussing her, enviously,
admiringly. She was conscious
of the eyes that rested upon her
flushed and lovely face. She
knew that tonight she was rising
as new star in the bridge
world. She loved it.

Patricia almost laughed aloud
at the sight of the two abrupt
ly outraged faces. Julian Hav-

Reuben Blair's young disciples.
After that there was dead si-

Presently a murmuring ran
through the room. Everything

a silence taut as a boWstring,
