did like you at TirSt-DuC never told you I loved you. never told you that, no matter how you tried to make me believe I did. I liked you at first because -. because once there must have been some thing about you that was honest and decent. That must be what they see on the screen, the part of you I saw-before I really knew you"
 Mrs. Fragonet moved toward the door. "I see no reason tC listen to ravings like this" she said. But Jo slid between her and the door, tossed back her hair with a nervous hand. Maybe there's no reason to listen, but you're go- | ing to. l want you to get this straight, once and for all don't want your husband, and l never did!"
 Mrs. Fragonet's smile was cold unbelieving. Really" she said you're quite little actress. Pm surprised you haven't tried the stu dios." With that she swept past Jo and out of the room.
 Fragonet stood looking at Jo his mouth almost comically agape "You-you really feel that way Jo?" he asked slowly. Jo nodded. That's the way feel. And I want you to go, please |. and not bother me any more eVer."
 Duly she heard the outer door slam. Then she stumbled weakly into the half-lighted hall, felt her way along the wall and up the stairway to her room.
 Next morning Maisie Lester was at the bungalow almost before Jo was out of bed.
 "Say, kid," Maisie greeted her trying to hide a troubled counte- nance with one of her wide smiles when 1 hired you I didn't know you wrecked homes in high places Lolita did tell me that Fragonet was crazy about you and had been pestering you. But last night l was yanked out of my downy couch by a telephone call from Mrs. Fragonet, and"
 1T know the dope, all right"
 Jo looked at Maisie questioning ly. Do you have to do what she says?"
 "Do what she says? Of course I don't! l own my place and I'll run 1t the way l like. Only"
 "Only what, Maisie"
 "Well ., she can make it tough for me, all right. And she can make it tough for you, too"
 Jo looked hard at her slippers. Maybe we ought to hoist the white flag, Maisie."
 Maisie sat beside Jo on the edge of the bed, put a plump arm around her shoulders. "1f you say we fight, then it's okay with me. Jo. If you can stand all the fire works. I can stand to lose a little business"
 Jo shook her head. That isn't all there Is to 1t, Nlaisie. If she gets so wildly jealous that she raises a row it'll mean bad pub licity for Atlas. It'd ruin Frago- net and hurt Boleson-and it might hurt some of the people who have anything at all to do with Fragonet's pictures. And I hate messes, Maisie. I've had enough of them this summer" She turned to her staunch employer. "l know you don't like to fire me Maisie-so I'll just quit"
 But what are you going to do ? know darned well you haven't saved any money on what I was paying you"
 Jo shrugged. "I wish knew what was going to do."
 Well" Maisie told her philo- sophically. You can always get sandwich and q cup of coffee at my place. That's a good thing to remember in Hollywood"

STEEL MILLS SET !
STILL SL0WERPACE
Lower Output Comedies
With Further Drop in
Scrap Prices.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 27.-steel
production and scrap prices have suf-
fered further declines, said Iron Age
in its weekly review today.
1t added, however, 1T is still Q
moot question whether consumption
Of finished steel has suffered a set
back. The automobile industry has
by no means abandoned its plans for
continued heavy production, and con-
tainer manufacturers and farm equip.
u1ent makers remain active users Of
mill products.
"As for April. motor car makers
have sent mills large orders for sheets
for that delivery and these will be
entered on March l when second
quarter books are opened.
"Other steel makers are in no haste
to get protection for next quarter.
The spirits of the trade have ebbed
with the recession in steel works ac-
tivity and long-term undertakings are
again being delayed. The growing
beligerency Of Congress and the REIN
PRODUCTION Of the highly controversial .
Wagner labor bill are among develop
ments in the national political scene
which are now disturbing business"
Iron Age estimated steel ingot pro-
duction at 48l2 per cent of capacity,
off percentage points from the pre-
vious week. Exceptions to the trend,
however, were noted at Detroit and
Chicago, where operations were main
tained, and Birmingham where they.
had risen from SO to 81 per cent The
publications composite price for scrap
had declined to Sl1.67 a ton from
sll.92 week ago.
The pig iron price index remains
unchanged at $17.90 a ton, and that
for finished steel is also unaltered ct
2l24 cents a pound.

PENDING LEGISLATION
CURBS MACHINE SALES

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 27.-Having
built up a moderate level of activity
by steady advances from last Sum-
mers lows, machinery sales have
again become hesitant, says American
Machinist.
This lack of trend results from a
conflict between a pressing economic
need for the improved designs now
available and a return of cautious
buying at evidences of new legislation
restrictive to business.
THE fresh msgivings have offset,
partially at least. the removal Of un-
certainty in the settlement of the gold
cases. Reports received from various
sections of the country have no una
ninity regarding latest experience in
closing orders"

Lines Is Approved by
R. F. c. Officials.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Sale Of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Railroad to eight competing lines with
consequent dismemberment Of the
system was announced as agreed upon
today by the Reconstruction Finance
Corp.
The corporation has agreed to ad-
vance s7,200,oo0 to the purchasing
roads which will bid in the property
at a Federal Court sale. The road
has been in receivership since 1923
In addition to the $1,000, 900, the
roads agreed to take over outstanding
equipment trust certificates totaling
| s1,0l8,000.
About 500 miles Of the track were
expected to be abandoned. The re.
mainder will be parceled out to the
Burlington Route, the Chicago d
Northwestern. the Rock Island Sys-
tenn. the Illinois Central, the Great
Northern Railway. the Chicago &

use to best advantage
Illinois Central Extended.
Jesse H. Jones, corporation chair
man. said an effort will be made to
see that all important communities
are given railroad service. Where

way transportation will be provided.
Under the new plan, said the cor
poration statement, the Illinois Gen.
trail will gain direct entrance to Min
neapolis over Its own rails. Although
the plan was not made public In de-
tell this would indicate that the I'LL
nois Central will take the road from

present the Minneapolis & st. Louis
runs its trains into Chicago over the
Illinois Central from Albert Lea.
The corporation loan was depend
ent upon approval by the Interstate

Court and other authority having jur-
isdiction over any part Of the prop
erty.
In addition to the price Of more
than 100000 the purchasing rail-
roads estimate, 1t was stated that they
will have to spend at least $4,000 900
TO improve and rehabilitate the prop
erty.

After announcing the Minneapolis
g. st. Louis arrangement. Jones said,
he planned to discuss today the sit
uation Of the Missouri Pacific, the
Denver & Rio Grande Western and
the Western Pacific with various Of
ficials of those lines. The VAN
Sweringen brothers, who control the
Missouri and the Rio Grande,
were waiting to see Jones when he
called in newspapermen.

TANK PROBLEM IS WIRES THING
 FOR OLYMPICS
tBy WHITNEY MARTINI

LINCOLN, Neb., May a. Be- cause it's hands-across the sea- and not legs, as in the United States-wrestlers seeking berths on the American Olympics team are busy perfecting their style to con- form with Olympic rules.
 American amateur wrestlers. pri- marily leg artists, could leave their arms in the locker room and still give a creditable performance. The foreign wrestlers, specializing in arm and hand work, use their legs merely to stand on as long as pos sible.
 The difference in rules accounts for this difference in styles, says Dr. R. G. Clapp, director of phys ical education for men at the University of Nebraska and secre- tary Of the American Olympic wrestling committee.
 The two major differences appear minor to the casual observer, but to the wrestler they amount to the difference between apple pie with and without the apples. Olym- pic rules provide for the instan- taneous fall, and ban the hooking of feet in scissors holds.
 Taking the hook from the scis- sor sdestroys it's effectiveness, Dr. Clapp points out. The instantan- eous fall makes leg wrestling too dangerous for the aggressor, who might be all ready to tie his op- ponent into bow knots through adroit use of the lower limbs, only to have his own shoulders touch the mat simultaneously for fleet instant.
 Other differences between Olym- pic rules and American rules are minor, Dr. Clapp said. Certain holds, such as toe hold and double nelson, or any hold which cndan- gers life and limb are barred un- der all rules.
 Despite inability to use their favorite leg holds with safety, the American Wrestlers have won the wrestling division for the last two Olympics. In 1892, they won three matches and placed second in two.
