With
THE HoosIER EDITOR

A NICE old lady in Boone Coun-
n ty was approached the other
day by a committee of the local
Townsend Old-Age Revolving PEN
sion Plan Club, and asked to become
a member.
She seemed quite interested, until
she was told that the dues would be
25 cents a month. Then she baked.
Nothing, she said, doing.
"I've known Cliff Townsend all his
life" she said with some haughti-
ness. "and / don't need to belong to
a club and pay dues just to vote for
him."
/, The committee left, little older
than when it came.

men about-town, had cold
hands. He bought fleece Lined gloves
and they didn't help. He bought fur
gloves and they didn't help. His
paddles got cold no matter what he
did. He got mad.
One day when he was driving
downtown with cold hands, ne
stopped at traffic intersection. A
policeman was there. He said:
How do you keep your hands
warm?"
1t was an ask policeman
theory and it worked.
The policeman said:
Get mittens. When your fingers
are together they give each other
heat. When they are in gloves they
are separated from each other and
get cold"
Mr.. White got mittens and today
is contented mittens user.

set aside the divorce DR.. Thorpe
obtained last spring and annul their
marriage on the ground that DR..

time it was contracted; to set aside

HOLLYWOOD, July 80. UR)-
When Claire Trevor, wide eyed
movie blond, shifts a load off her
dogs at the end of a scene a princess
takes her place under the hot lights
until the next one is set.
There should be a moral in that
somewhere, but it probably only
proves Hollywood is a dizzy, topsy-
turvy sort Of place, and that has
been proved before, often.
The princess is Galina Krapot-
kina, known to the movie trade as
Galina LiSs. Liss doesn't mean
anything. It's just a name she
made up for herself, and she is
working as Trevor's standin because
she needs the dough.
Krapotkina isn't working
princess any more because she has
no constituents. Even when she did
work at the trade it didn't last long,
for the constituents chased her
papa and mama, Mr.. and Mrs.
Alexis Krapotkin out of Russia
when Galina was only six years old.
The girl scrambled together an
education in CzechoSolovakia, Paris
and Berkeley, Calf, and was MAX
ing an honest living translating
CzechoslCvakian books into English
for the Los Angeles public library
when she got a chance to work for
Trevor.
Making things easy for a movie
actress pays more, although not too
much more than working for the
library.
She got the job because Airline
Judges princess, we mean standin,
a girl called Airline Ryan, has an
aunt who was a schoolmate of La
Krapotkina's mother somewhere.
Miss LisS says her grandparents,
Prince Alexis and Princess Alice
Krapotkin live in San Francisco,
and her second cousin, Princess
Alexandra Krapotkin, writes Wom
ans column in national magazine
retailing for five cents.
Fred Astaire is walking around
under a red ear because Victor
Mohr's right arm isn't what it once
was.
Frolicking in the phoney snow
covering a synthetic section of the
Adirondack mountains inside an
RKO soundstage, Mohr was re
quired to pop off Astaire's high hat
with a snow ball for a scene of
Never Gonna Dance" He said he
was an expert snoWballer, and
couldn't miss, but he did.
The SNOWFALL was the only real
winter proper, being made of frost
scraped off refrigerator pipes and
carefully packed in ice until Astaire
was posed.
In case you are interested, there
is one sure way to spot imitation
movie snow in the finished film.
Watch the actors feet. Real snow
sticks and balls on the foot. Gyp-
sum or uncooked cornflakes do not.
That same Astaire, who never
went completely Hollywood, is fast
going tin pan alley. He has Just
written his second song, iii Never
Let You Co." in collaboration with
Dave Dreyer, and you'll soon be
hearing it on the air. His first,

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Sept. IL. CUP)-Wheat
futures led a moderate advance in
grain prices On the Chicago board
of trade today. Strength in Win
nipeg due to a bullish Canadian
crop report induced fairly heavy
buying in the local market. Selling
pressure was light until the Deeem-
Der delivery reached SLIP and
prices reacted slightly from the
days high.
At the close wheat was up rs to
IL. Sept. $1.12%. corn was up z to
e.. Sept. $1.12A, oats was up 3s,
Sept. 41B cents.
Corn had a heavy tone at the
opening on selling induced by the
department of agriculture's esti-
mate showing an increase in the
crop. Local buying inspired by
strength in wheat caused a rally,
however.
The Canadian government crop
report was the main factor behind
an advance in Winnipeg futures. A
broader export demand also was a
bullsh influence, offsetting the eff
feet of continued heavy receipts.
The Liverpool market also was
higher in response to the Canadian
estimate.
Milling demand for cash wheat
here was slow.
