boy Meets Grip company at the
National Theater was the Armand
last season for Eva LIE Gallienne'S
Camille"
Let me suggest then that Ray
Bell send Mr.. Waring a pass for
two for Loew's Palace Theater on
Christmas day and let him see
Robert Taylor play Armand to the
glamorous Garbo's Marguerite.
Speaking of Camille" no finer
tribute to a great play has ever
been penned than these lines writ
ten by Henry James:
Written by Dumas when he
was rs, Camille remains in its
combination of freshness and
form and of the feeling of the
Springtime of life, a singular,
an astonishing piece of work.
"The novel and the play have
been blown about the world at
a fearful rate, but the story has
never lost its happy juvenility a
charm that nothing can vulgar
iZe. 1t is all champagne and
tears-fresh perversity, fresh
cruelty, fresh passion, fresh
pain. We have seen the play
both well done and ill dOne-in
strange places and in barbarOuS
tongues. But nothing makes
any difference-it carries with
it an April air; some tender
young man and some coughing
young woman to speak the lines
to give it a great place among
the love stories of the world"

Benefit $4,000.

CHICAGO, October 20 R.-
Wage increases granted thousands of
plant employees Of the big meat pack
ing concerns were expected today to
affect ultimately 100000 workers in

The four big Chicago packing con-
Germs, Swift, Armour. Cudahy and
Wilson yesterday announced a z per
cent increase in plant workers pay,
effective next Monday. the first day
Of the industry's new fiscal year The
increases will lift wage scales to a
level almost 20 per cent above the
1929 peak and nearly so per cent
above the 1882 low, the industry re-
ported.
As q result of the action Of these
four companies, 1t was estimated that
ultimately $4,000 employees would
benefit to the extent of nearly $8,00o.-
900 annually. ONCE employees were
not included.
In addition, 1t was pointed out,
smaller packers, whose organizations
were made up Of union employees,
might follow the example set by the
big four" Some already have, but
spokesmen for smaller Chicago pack
ers said no definite decision had yet
been made on proposed wage in
creases. In the past, however, wage
actions by the large companies have
been followed by similar action on the

BENCH WARRANTS
TFOR HOEPPELS
Bondsman Agrees to Pay
Transportation to D. C.,
Delaying Forfeiture.

Justice Peyton Gordon of District
Court today issued bench warrants 1or
the arrest in California of Represen-
tative John H. Hoeppel and his son,
Charles j. Hoeppel who failed to ap-
pear for commitment under sentences
of four months to one years I'm
prisonment imposed last Spring after
their conviction of conspiring to sell
Q West Point appointment for $l,0O0.
On the promise of Bondsman Mil
ton Kronheim to pay the expenses OF
their return to the District. Justice
Gordon agreed not to forfeit their bail
at this time. Each Is at liberty under
$1,000 bond.
Kronheim said the Hoeppels are at
their home in Arcadia. Calf. He re-
ceived a telegram from the elder
Hoeppel this morning, stating he and
his son would come to Washington as
soon as he could wind up his affairs
and asking the bondsman's indulgence
until about next Monday.
The requested respite will not be
Forthcoming. however. and the con-
victed defendants will be arrested by
United States marshals as soon as the
bench warrants reach California.
United States Attorney Leslie C.
Garnett and his chief assistant, David
A. Pine, informed the court they were
satisfied for the bond not to be for
feited if Kronheim paid for bringing
the Hoeppels to Washington. Had
Justice Gordon ordered the bail paid
the expenses incident to the trip OF
the defendants from California to
Washington would have fallen on the
Government.
The bondsman had been ordered tc
produce both defendants in court
simultaneously with the presentation
of the mandate from the Court Of Ap-
peals Affirming their convictions.
Last December a District Court
Jury found the Hoeppels guilty of con-
spring to solicit $1,000 from Jane.

They appealed from the jury verdict
but the appellate tribunal affirmed
their conviction last Spring. A peti.
tion then was sent to the Suprem.
Court for review, which recently wa!
denied. The Appeals Court had with.
held its mandate pending decision by
