DUT, when she met him, he was
ID not In the least formidable. He
was short, and rather stout and
wore spectacles, reminding Toby of
the baker from whom she had often
bought bread when she and her
aunt lived in Jackson Heights.
Duryea studied her through his
spectacles and said, We'll, we'll
see. The hair is very good"
They told me you wanted to
make tests" Toby said. Il didn't
bring another dress. Will this do7"
She was wearing the blue suit
Harriet had persuaded her to buy
a month before-a slim, youthful
suit without the slightest bit of
trimming. Her blouse was white
with a frill down the front.
Duryea nodded slowly. TT will be
all right"
He told her to put on makeup as
she would for the street, being very
careful not to use even shade too
much.
She came back from the dressing
room to the high-ceiling studio
a more elaborate studio than she
had seen before. At one end were
screens, cranes, cables, gigantic
lights and switchboard The
camera was on platform.
Duryea had placed a red chair be-
fore a bright blue screen. Here" he
said. sit here"
CHE posed for an hour and a
~ half and Duryea madetwo pic
lures. She had never seen any,
thing like the painstaking atten-
ton he gave to details. Duryea
was like a scientist in a laboratory.
He changed lights, the angle of the
camera and her pose a dozen differ
ent times. Finally, the pictures
were made.
Duryea said, You'll hear from
the Model League if we need you
again." and Toby nodded and went
back to the dressing room to get
her hat
She opened the door and let out
a little exclamation. She had ex-
pected the room to be empty. In
stead, a tall, slender girl in an
amazing gown of white and flame
stood before the mirror. 1t was
an evening gown, daring in it's lines
as we'll as its fabric.
Toby said, "Oh, excuse me-" and
the girl turned, 1t was Carol
Marsh.
For an instant she eyed Toby.
Then she said, Hello" She said
it in a way that was more of di-
rect cut, Toby thought, than if she
had not spoken at all.
Hello" Toby said, and gath
cred up her gloves and makeup kit.
She pulled on her hat without even
glancing into the mirror and hurried
away.

~ deep sigh. She had liked work.
ing with Duryea and had hoped the
tests would be good enough to win
the Job. But what chance would she
have against Carol Marsh? That,
undoubtedly, was why Carol was
there. Sally had said several other
girls were going to make tests. Carol,
in that af1me- and-white creation,
made Toby look like Cinderella be-
fore the ball Carol would be the
one chosen
1t was a pleasant afternoon and
Toby decided to walk She had gone
half a block when a shop window
halted her. 1t was a window filled
with bright-colored sport clothes.
Toby eyed one dress in particular,
a white dress. with a short green
Jacket and a yellow scarf 1t was
a style that would be becoming to
her and she liked the colors.
Suddenly she became aware that
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-04-07

a man was watching her. He was
a man she had never seen before
rather shabbily dressed, wearing a
dark hat.
A girl as pretty as Toby is accus-
toned to having men lok at her,
an dknows exactly how to discour-
age them, but this one made her
uncomfortable. She moved away,
walking rather swiftly until she
reached the corner. Then she
turned her head, ever so slightly,
and loked back.
The man was following, not a
dozen steps away.

Dismissal
Asked For
Duke Case

Washington, May 1.-(AP)-Green-
wood county, S. c., today urged the
Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal
flied by the Duke Power Company at
lacking the constitutionality Of Pub
lie Works Administration loans for
publicly-owned hydro-electric projects
In brief, the county commended
that it had a right to use $3.50 900
PWA loan and grant for power
plant at Buzzard Roost, 8. G.
The government won the case be-
fore the circuit court of appeals at
Charlotte, N. C. If the Supreme Court
agrees to review the controversy, a
final decision will be deferred until
the fall term of court, beginning in
October.
The county asserted that all the
Federal questions raised by the Duke
petition had been CLEARLY settled by
this court on other occasions, and that
Duke is, therefore, merely asking for
a review of this case on it's facts,
which, in view of the findings of the
circuit court of appeals, it would be
unnecessary for this court to allow"
It added that the question of the
right Of Congress to make appropria-
tions for the general welfare had been
settled in the decision holding AAA
unconstitutional.

Raleigh, May 1.-The vote which DR..

Salem, cast in the House of the 1885
General Assembly for House Bill 1860,
which made the sales tax apply to
meals in cafes, restaurants and board
ing houses, bids fair to become a
stumbling block in his campaign to
win the nomination for governor on
an anti:sales tax platform, since both
Sandy Graham and Clyde Hoey are
pointing to his vote for this sales tax
as being somewhat inconsistent with

In his speech in Washington, Beau

voted a good deal of attention to the

levying the sales tax on meals, while

that DR.. Mcdonald voted for this sup

Weather. Big
Factor With
Trade Gains
Business for Week Is
II Percent Owe
Year Ago, Dun &
Bradstreet Says

New York, May 1.-(AP)-Better
weather conditions during the week
enabled retail trade to advance to a
level eight to IL percent higher than
a year ago, Dun g. Bradstreet said
today.
"Defini:o turn to more seasonal
weather reacted favorably on nearly
all branches of trade buying during
the week." it was tsated.
"It influenced shoppers to sepnd
more freely, which pushed sale of
spring goods to a new high for the
season. The outstanding gain, how
ever, was in wholesale markets, the
influx of buyers building up the best
volume for the period since 1881.
"The few instances Of recession
provided no check to the general move
ment of the industrial pace, the pro-
fits reported by numerous manufac-
turers for the first quarter attesting
the extent of the Improvement"
At retail, it was stated, consumers
apparently had more money to spend
and not only purchased more goods
but also demanded better quality than
at any time in the past five years.
Although the strong recovery of
consumer buying enabled a number of
cities to report increases up to Is per
cent over the preceding weeks retail
sales" the review continued, "the
gain over the previous years total
was narrowed"

Webb is president Of the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association, in
convention here. He read in his presi-
Dental address these statistics, which
he called "ominOus"
consumption of American cotton in
the United States from 1028-20 to
1934-35 dropped 1,417,000 bales.
"Production Of American cotton dur
ing the same period dropped 100000
bales. Exports last year dropped ap-
proximately 100000 bales.
"And yet world consumption drop
ped only 100000 bales"
Webb asserted that the farm pro-
gram, as it affects cotton, was "even-
tually harming the farmers"
agriculture and industry are not
in separate compartments operating
independently and without influence
on each other" he said.
