PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DOdsOn

Looks as if the old days of Col
lege Inn have returned Out-of-
town collegians are once more ask
ing campus gels to provide them
with tops of stockings for skull
caps! The browning glory must be
all in order, y'Imow, and when lads
are away from home, bacheloring
in kitchenette apartments, the
tops of ladies' stockings aren't so
easily found. So all of you vim
men who have some old socks had
better save 'em and then shoot 'em
out to the campus where they will
be put into the hands of the proper
persons. No foolin'!
Also, some of the out-of-town
bachelors have been going around
asking for recipes to aid them in
their cookingl They do get 5000
tired of eating out of cans and pa
per bags, poor children. Every
once in while some plying femme
gets big-hearted and cooks meal
or two for them. I've heard that
one young man proposes marriage
to every femme who cooks him a
swell feed. So far, he's been re-
fused, but one Of these days he
might ask one of these overly-anx-
ious maidens and be accepted so
quickly he won't know how it all
happened!
LOUIS MASON showed up at
school t. other mawning with very
visible marks of hpstick plastered
over his face.
81 can't get the stuff off," he
moaned: give tried everything:
soap and water, cold cream, and
more soap and water"
But Louis is man Of honor, and
he wouldn't reveal the source of
the marks. PETE THATCHER
looked at him intently for a mo-
ment and then drawled: swell, /
wish you'd tell me who she is so
I can keep out of her wayI"
/ only wish / knew the brand of
ipstick that is so lasting! Mine
won't stay on two minutes. ]
mean it won't stay on ME two min
utes.
This and That: According to o.
o. Mcintyre, JOSEPHINE BAK-
Err is the richest colored femme
in the world. ;. And according to
Winchell, NOBLE SISSLE and his
crew are packing 'em in at that
French" in New York where the
girlies in the chorus dance in the
altogether. What University
of Minnesota instructor, who was
a former foreign correspondent,
seq that 10 BAKER has too beau
tiful a chassis to cover up with
anything more than a coupla' fig
leaves? (He saw her trip the
fantastic with even the fig leaves
missin'l. What TWENTIETH
CENTURY club member, at a re-
cent club meeting, got phone call
from a certain young lady and,
as soon as he hung up, dashed
madly out of the meeting. The
rest of the boys were so curious
that they just had to get their
heads together and speculate on
who the mysterious femme was.
After a great deal of head-scratch-
ing, they finally decided on her
identity - and decided WR0NGl
'Twasn't that one attall, so there.
JACK HARPoLE, who hoofs
it to school a-mornings, has pur-
chased a pair of copper's shoes so
that his arches won't fall after so
much punishment. Dear old Jack!

MYRTLE WORMLEY upset some

that it's perfectly possible that
HAUPTMANN could go into a
strange room in the dark and not
stumble over anything. Oh, yeah ?
And how does he know, pray tell ?
:. hear there are a lot of local
Clark Gables who can get OUT
of strange rooms in the dark! Hey,
hey. J.. Wait a minute, Thurston
is gonna have her say.
ThurstOn speaking: Well, / real
ly don't know about my taking
up this column in mid-stream like
this but this is grand OPP
portunity to tell you gentle read
ers about dear old aunty's real
reason for going into what seems
to be a permanent form of social
seclusion. First of all, here's a
warning: Do not let Aunty deceive
you no matter how implicitly
you believe in her. There's a
method in her madness and there's
secret behind her seclusion. Wait
a minute, don't get me wrong! 1t
is not that! It's a man down In
Iowa. And folks! What a man
that man isl Aunty has you folks
fooled. You think it's S. B.
However, / know better. It's
B., all right, but B. in this case
stands for BENNY BROWN of
BIRMINGHAM! He is a man of
aesthetic tastes (take it from me!)
He's majoring in languages and
mirroring in music. When Dodson
was down in Iowa, the man played
fiddle solo that so befuddled the
poor gal that she's been seeing
fiddles in her sleep ever since. {.
And speaking of fiddles or fid-
dlesticks reminds me that a GER
tain bass fiddle player in local
orchestra took the cutest picture.
It's so good-lOOking that I can't
believe that it's he but / guess
it is he's the only man who
smiles that generously. -.

 New York, Jan. 22-(UP)-Trad- ing frightened and prices eased on the stock exchange today. General Electric led in activity followed by Studebaker, International Tele- phone and Follansbee brothers in that order.
 Declines in the main list ranged to 3 points in the case of Follafs- bee Brothers which was being un- loaded by holders unwilling to risk keeping the issue when 1t was delisted. Trustees for the company have been granted permission to delist the issue from the Pittsburgh and New York exchanges because benefits of listing did not justify the expense of maintaining transfer agents and registrars"

UTILITIES CASE
 ARE DISCUSSED

New York. Jan. 22 - (UP) - Both sides of the utilities ques. ton were re-emphasized today with an attack and defense cen. tering around the Tennessee Valley authority. one of the New Deals major experiments.
 David E. Liiienthal. IVA direc. tor. declared the public was right In demanding a thorough ''cleanup of an intolerable situation" in the power industry. He was answered by EHdeil l.. Willkie, president of the Commonwealth and Southern Corporation. which is one of the largest holding com mpan nies in terri. tory invaded by IVA. The public character of electricity" wa 2 stressed by Liiienthai. This" he said. must guide our thinking and our action. with respect to this great industry" Lilienthal argued that setting up public owned plants to serve as 'yardsticks' for determining fair rates of private utilities was right and reflected wisdom. He tonched only lightly on physical aspects and centered his attack on financial affairs. Lilicnthal and WiiIkie spoke be. fore the Economic Club of New York and the Harvard Business School Club last night.

Numerous 1 influential persons throughout the state, including many leading publishers, are mak. ing ready, 1t is understood, to cp. pose ratification by the 1895 session of the legislature of the child Ia. bor amendment of the United States constitution. l.. B. Palmer, general manager of the American Newspaper Publishers association, is leading the fight in forty-eight states against adoption of the 'amendment. As in all amendments to the national constitution, votes of two-thirds of the state leglsia- lures are necessary. Theodore BOdenwein. publisher of the New London Day, is the, head of thS Connecticut publishers group light. ing against ratification of the new amendment.
 Labor May Fight
 The Connecticut Federation of Labor, various groups representing women's organizations and profess sionally paid welfare workers are reported as contemplating offering a resolution to the 1885 legislature calling for adoption of the child labor amendment. If thirty-six states adopt theamendment 1t be- comes a part of the national con- stitution. The amendment has been before the states for the past twelve years. Those against the amendment claim that the pr0vi- sions involved are not specific enough. The amendment reads as follows:
 Section 1.-The congress shall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons un. der eighteen years of age. Section 2.-The power of the. several states Is unimpaired by this article ex. cept that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the ex- tent necessary to give effect to leg islation enacted by congress"
 Parental Privileges
 According to those opposing the ratification of the proposed amend- ment by Connecticut, the act would give congress the right to regulate the lives of all children up to IS years of age and would take from parents the control of their off-, spring. This, it is claimed. would take from parents control of their offspring and, therefore. is too great a power to be given to com gress. It is better, 1t Is claimed. to start over again and get congress

SEARCH GOES ON
 FOR ROBINSON

Houston, Tex, Jan. 22-(UP)- Federal agents and police through. out the southwest continued an in- tensive search today for Thomas H. Robinson, Jr.. sought as the kidnaper of Mrs Alice Speed Stoll of Louisville, last October.

Dissell, 34. and Mrs Lois Disscll. 24. They gave Houston addresses. An agent of the bureau of investigation, de- partment of justice, was due today to question the couple. Tha depart ment of justice in Washington re- Quested Houston police to hold the couple for investigation. Fed- erai agents identified the car as belonging to Robinson.

to offer q new constitutional amendment abolishing child labor that will mean what it says, ''than to keep trying to pass the present old one which would put the United States on level with Soviet Russia in controlling the lives of children"
 1t is' claimed by those opposing theadOpti0n of the, amendment to the federal constitution that the state laws adequately handle the situation. They provide for pro- hibiting employment of minors un. der IA years of age, prosecution for penalties for parents or employers who engage in the concealment of proper ages 30 as to cover up em- plOyes under 14 years, the issuance of employment certificates for chil- dren between the ages of IA and 16 years and 50 forth.
 State Control
 At the last session of the Con- necticut legislature g movement to have the amendment to the nation- al constitution was defeated. Feel ing was at the time and will possi- bly be this time that Connecticut is able to regulate its own minor labor regulations without inter- ference from the national govern- ment. This point was brought out point-blank two years ago when the adoption of state liquor con- trol act being framed. Speakers in the house of representatives pointed out that Connecticut never ratified the, 18th amendment and that they did not propose to ratify the amendment on child labor. The bill to. ratify the child labor amend ment, therefore, "died" a natural death. Indications are that a sirn- liar route will be given the bill to ratify during the 1885 session.

TWO SUSPECTS IN
 : CHECK STEALING

Boston, Jan. 22-tUP)-Depart- t. ment of justice agents sought to- day two suspects believed responsi- ble for the theft of 29O negotiable ERA pay checks. The checks were stolen a week ago from the ERA disbursing office here, and at least six of them, totalling $216, have been passed at banks. Federal authorities were convinced 1t was an "inside job" and predicted ear- ly arrests.
 The checks. signed and counter. signed :. by officials in Washington, were taken from a locked steel cabinet by means of false keys. The theft was discovered when the checks were returned from the banks with the forged signatures of the workers for whom they were intended. If all the cheeks were cashed the loss would total several thousand dollars. .,..
