GASOLINE MEN
IN COUNTY
ORGANIZE

Montgomery county's gasoline
war" took on a new aspect today
with the announcement that the
independent dealers had retained
James II. Pugh, prominent Rock
vile lawyer and Democratic can
didate for States attorney, as
legal advisor in perfecting a COM
plete organization.
More than 100 Of the gas re-
tatlerS will meet at the Colesville
public school Friday night to adopt
q constitution and bylaws for the
Independent Gasoline Dealers AS
Sociation Of Montgomery County,
~ the organization will be known.
Fight Price Boost
The Importance Of this latest
move is seen in the fact that now
these dealers, who have been
fighting the new price zones
recently established by the major
oil companies without organiza-
tion, will be able to present a
united front in their battle to sell
gas at District prices.
It also means that the chances
Of their getting a municipal gas
Oline station at Rockville which
can compete with and possibly
underSell the chain stations,
should the producers continue to
raiSt the wholesale price, are
considerably brighter.
TO BE Permanent
Mr.. Pugh said today that the
new organization will be per-
manent unit, designed to protect
the dealers interests upon any
alad every occasion. He said:
I'VE intend to stick in this
fight till the bitter end, but
We are also going to have an
organization should we ever
need 1t In the future"

tie in one hand and the other
one clutching together the folds
Of her red and white flannel
bathrobe. Her feet, stuck into
straw Chinese "go-aheads," made
no sound as she came into the
room. She stood just inside the
door, her Redeemed eyes staring
at the two figures locked to-
gether like one figure, their
arms straining each other close,
the symbol of everything that
Lutte had wanted and missed in
her Al years Of life.
"Susan!" she cried out sharply,
and the two figures Sprang apart
at the sound Of her Shrill,.
shocked voice. Her unpainted
lips were so tightly pursed to-
gether than they had almost dis
appeared. Her hair was wound
up all over her head on old
fashioned kid curriers' and she
smelled Of camphorated oil and
horehound drops.
CHAPTER xxx
"You want some hot water,
don't you, Lutie?" She started
forward. There's a whole tea
kettle of it on the stove"
But Lutte shook her head and
put the bottle behind her back.
Her motionless features looked
as if they were painted on wood
and in her long, shapeless bath.

Mrs. Noah in a Noah'S ark that

"and I'm going to do it here
and now, Miss Broderick. Susie
and are going to be married.
This isn't as bad as you think
it is"
mot as bad!" Lutte cried.
"It's 10 times worse!" She tossed
up her hands in a despairing
gesture, and the water bag
tapped in the air like a red
rubber flag. Certainly, you
must know that Susan's engaged
already! Why, she's as good as
married-you can't break up a
thing like that!"
Her head turned toward Su.
san. you're just as common
as you can be or you wouldn't
do a thing like this when you're
engaged to Wallace" she said.
"This is the sort Of thing you
might expect from a kitchen
mechanic" She turned and
went back up the stairs, carry
ing the bottle by its neck.
Susan faced Allen. 1.-The fats
in the fire, darling" she said
and laughed. She was still light
hearted and happy. Now that
Lutte knew about Allen and her
self, she felt a certain relief.
Lutte was too sick to get up
the next morning, and Susan
took her her breakfast on a
tray.
ALI day long the wind blew
from the east, and the crate
fires smoked. At 10 o'clock,
when Susan went down to put
coal on the fire in the base
ment, she found that one Of
the CRATES that held the coal
had broken and fallen into the
ash pit below. She went up
stairs and telephoned Stovall,
the furnace man, to come as
soon as possible to fix it.
The house was like a tomb.
Aunt Edna had a touch Of rheu-
matism in her knee and sat
groaning over the parlor fire
while she turned the cuffs on
one of Uncle Worthy's shirts.
Allen called up from the
courthouse downtown.

Hollywood Topping London in
WeII-Dressed Men

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 20.-Re-
turning to the film colony after
several years, the carefully
tailored Basil Rathbone breaks
down and eonfesses that Holly
wood has more well-dressed men
than any place he has ever
visited.
"Englishmen,'' Loyalty adds
this son Of Britain, "were un-
questionably the best-dFessed
men in the world prior to 1914.
But, aside from that small
group of West-EndeTs IN Lon
den, / do not think it can be
said of them today. Holly-
wood has become the male
fashion center Of the world"
What amazes Mr.. Rathbone IS
that directors, studio neads and
even the rank and file are just
as weILdressed as the stars.
Eat first" he comments,
'tmen Overdressed in this young
and amazing part Of the world.
Pleats In trousers were too
full. Trousers were cut too
wide. The wide lapel went
wide of its mark. And the
shoulders we're entirely too
square.
''But today there il a trim
ness and distinction in the ma
iority of mems clothes out here
quite remarkable in its con.
sistency. TailOrs have learned
that Hollywood has become
sensitive to any unnecessary
exaggeFatiOn."
As it happens. screen fans will
not be allowed to view Ar. Rath'
bones own sartorial pretensiOns
on his current trip. He is here
to play in David Copperfield"
and will don styles appropriate
to the period.

Some Facts on
Kissin'

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 20.
Whether the world likes it or
not, its styles and manners in
kissing are dictated by Holly
wood.
1t doesn't matter whether you
like the short staccatO attack,
the long, lingering kiss, ardent
and silent or terminating in a
smack" you ultimately wind up
doing it according to the latest
dictates of the screen.
1t looks very much as though
OSCILLATION is in for reform aleng
sedate lines, what with periods
of the late Victorian era coming
into vogue. Evelyn Venable and
Kent Taylor, in Parameunt's
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" will carry on the work
of touting the shy, short and
bashful kiss. minus the mus
cular embrace, which they
started in David Harum." With
the passing of the late hotcha
era, this type of kiss is slated
for a healthy revival.
It was motion pictures of the
Theda Bara period which started
the vogue for soul kisses
those "interminable" businesses
which caused young ladies to IA
Vor the men with the best breath
control.
Hand-kissing was introduced
into popular use in America via
the movies. Its latest screen ex-
ponent is Francis Lederer, who
does it both off-sereen and on.
Despite the fact that kissing was
sin in the Puritan period de-
picted in ParamouAt's bundling
hit, "The Pursuit of Happiness"
Lederer's role gives him the
chance to carry on the propa-
ganda Of the hand kissing school.
Whenever they are in doubt, di-
rectors stick to the prevailing
mode. Cecil B. De Mile, try as he
might, could not dig up in his re-
search the exact manner in which
Marc Antony kissed Cleopatra. In
filming Paramount's Cleopatra, "
De Mile had Henry Wilcoxon press
Claudette Colbert to his arnor so
that the imprint of the chased
and jeweled designs on it showed
on her skin for several hours after
ward. All that De Mile had un-
covered about Cleo was that they
did kiss in the good old days
which may explain why they were
known as the good old days"
They kissed in the modern style.
One method of affeetionate salVl-
tation which Hollywood expounded
and which failed to catch on as
national paStime was that used in
Eskimo" The boys and girls Of
the frozen North rubbed noses
but that sort Of thing left our
everyday young lovers cold. Some
VentureSome souls in the more
temperate climates may have tried
it out, but it probably never passed
the experimental stage.
Some two years ago, motion oie-
lures abandoned the vertical kiss
in favor of the horizontal. or semi
horizontal kiss. The Hays office
stepped in after q while and ruled
these out, Nevertheless, heriEontal
kissing enjoyed quite q vogue until
newer methods were introduced.

GIRL SCOUTS MUSIC
TRAINING APPROVED
Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, Pianist
and Composer, Admirer
of Method.

Mrs. Walter Bruce Howe, pianist
and composer, yesterday gave ap-
proval to the music division Of the
leisure time activities program of the
Girl Scouts.
There is music everywhere" she
said, land it is good that Girl Scouts
are being trained to hear and under
stand it.
IF one listens carefully to the note
Of a steamboat siren, one can hear
a minor triad. The humming Of an
airplane motor Is like a number OF
cellos playing in unison. The note
of a French blackbird is an ideal
theme for q minuet.
Nothing else trains the ear so well
as initiating bird notes. Their
phrases are short, distinctive and
fresh. 1t is because I so strongly be-
lieve in nature as source of music
that l am an ardent admirer Of the
Girl Scouts method Of training.
From listening intelligently to
wood and forest sounds one comes
very naturally to listening appreci-
atively to symphony orchestra con-
certs and chamber music recitas."

tend the opening Of National Better
Homes week at the Girl Scouts Little

was in my State. He had Tennessee
license tags on his car. That's re-
markable."
Yes" interrupted newspaper
man, he'll probably be in the gallery
when the House passes the crime con-

BY George" said Byrns again
laughingly. these crime control bills
ought to be taken up at the earliest
opportunity. III see to that. Maybe
they will help in situation like this.
That fellow Dillinger certainly beats
anything I ever heard about. But
I'll bet if he's in the gallery when the
crime bills are taken up thereu be few
members on the floor.
Just think, they had him cornered
the other day and he got away I bet
those Federal agents were shaky, and
l don't blame them. I'd be shaky, too,
with a fellow like that around"
Yes" interrupted another news
paper man. Did you read what Will
Rogers had to say about it? He said.
you know, if Dillinger didn't look out
he'd be shot some day as an innocent
bystander"
Byrns had another good laugh.
Anyway, the House is going to take
action soon on the crime control bills.
