President Roosevelt has authorized
the award OF Navy Cross Star to the
late Brig. Gen. Robert H. Dunlap
Marine Corps, for his heroic attempt

woman, Marine Corps headquarters

The award was made to Mrs. Kath-
crime Dunlap of 1853 K street, the Of
ficer's widow, who is now sojourning

The citation recites that the award

tinguishing himself "conspicuously by
extraordinary courage on May 19, 1881,
at La Fariniere, Cinq-Mars La-Plle,
France, where he met his death IN

French peasant woman"
Rear Admiral Harold r. Stark, tenn

ago, Miss Dietrich stated that the
average American man lacked the
charm, attraction and sophistication
Of his European brother)
Nowhere in the world can you find
men as warm, natural. romantic and
gallant as those who live in the South
of the United States" said Mr.. Boles
I'm some respects they are very like
the French and Italians in their ap-
proach to a woman. But do not kiss
the hands Of the laoies they admire or
shower them with exaggerated COM
pliments. which is to their advantage.
Hand kissing is usually blind for
what is in the Europeans mind.
Americans in the North and East
are more direct than those in the
South and West. They're more formal,
more honest, but they have the same
romantic chivalrous attitude toward
their women folk.
Furthermore" continued Mr.. Boles,
II have yet to find an intelligent
American girl preferring the suave,
sugary approach Of the foreigner to
the open, sincere love making Of her
own countrymen."
Boles dismissed as absurd Miss
Dietrich'S assertion that the American
educational system lags behind the
European on the count of inferior in
struction in foreign languages. ANY
parents can hire language experts in
this country to teach their children.
II find it difficult to understand
Miss Dietrich's attitude" the actor
added. When she came to this coun-
try, an unknown quantity, she had q
particularly good reception and was
given every opportunity to make the
money that has made it possible for
her to be independent for the rest Of
her life. I'm not inferring she has not
a perfect right to decide she would
sooner see and live with Europeans,
but I will say that, if I were making
pictures and money in Germany.
France or England, I'd be gracious
enough to be grateful instead of dis
playing extremely bad manners and
taste by making derogatory remarks
against their citizens and customs"

new RULING ASKED
ON Minimum WAGE
New York Attorney General Re-
quests Supreme Court to Re-
consider Decision.


Nv the Associated Press.
Attorney General John j. Bennett,
ir.. of New York, today asked the Su-
preme Court to reconsider its recent
decision invalidating the States
minimum wage law.
Asserting the State had assumed
the Adkins case, in which the mini
mum wage law of the District OF Co
lumbia had been declared unconsti-
tutional, would be reconsidered by the
court, Bennett said New York had
expected q new ruling by the high
tribunal on the whole principle OF
wage fixing under the fourteenth
amendment.
The attorney general contended the
court had misconStrued the basis OF
the petition which his State had filed
to set aside q decision of the New
York Court of Appeals holding the
States minimum wage act invalid
and ordering the discharge Of Joseph
Tipaldo, laundryman, charged with
violation of the law.
Bennett insisted the minimum wage
act was q valid exercise Of the police
power Of the State and met all the
requirements Of due law is "in the
same tradition" as the States milk
law which the high court had
sustained.

More courageous now, Julia
took up the chorus again and this
time she walked slowly and rhyth-
mically among the tables-the
amber spot following her every
movement, making her golden
and mysterious and unattaihable,
making her unrecognizable as the
girl who had, such little while
before, been lawyers secretary.
But as she drew near one of
the blue-clothed tables she almost
stopped singing, in her sudden
surprise. A familiar face watched
her, a strong, looking face
whose tan was accumulated by the
white shirt-front below it.
Tom Payson smiled, nodded ev-
er so slightly, and Julia returned
his smile. She remembered as
she passed on, still singing, that
Payson's smile had seemed slight
ly ironic.: And a corner of her
mind told her, even while she sang
that he would have right to feel
piqued.

entrance. Julia wondered if it was
always like this, or whether Tony
had whispered it around that
there was to be new entertain
er. But, at any rate, they had
been drifting into the cabaret for
the past half-hour. BY now the
air was gray-blue with cigarette
smoke, drifting lazily in the shafts
from the baby spotlights that
ranged along one wall.
Suddenly from her vantage
point Julia saw one of the baby
spotlights go amber, streaming a
pool of light just in front OF the
band platform. The music stopped
and Julia heard the leader say,
Ladies and gentlemen-I want
to introduce a girl who is new to
you, but l think you're going to
like her. Miss Julia Craig-slng-
ing, You Are My Lucky Star
That was all, and then she
heard Latta's voice by her shout

scious of a sea of faces-of white
discs that seemed somehow sus-
pended between the ceiling and
the floor. They were no more than
that, at first, and then came
tiny ripple of applause from one
of the tables. Others joined in, 80
that it became wave-a warm,
friendly wave that washed up to
where Julia stood and made her
feel alive and happy and sure of
herself. She smiled; and when she
smiled the applause grew louder.
She would never remember
quite how she got through the
song. All day long she had been
afraid that she might be unable
to remember the lyrics. But the
words seemed to rush up inside
her, come neatly in order as they
had been written. In that first
moment her voice was weak and
reached the chorus she had attain
ed that husky quality which is the
essential medium of all our mod
ern songs.
As she finished, the applause
came again-stili louder, and pro-
longed. In the little alcove she
ran into the arms of Tony Latta
who was fairly hopping up and
down for joy.
