HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 13 G.N.So
Take it from Bert wheeler, film
comedian, nothing can alter the
altar plans now! And, if you
please, take it again from Sally
HaineS!
Because, as Bert put it yester'
day, he and Sally, former musical
comedy star, are going to be mar
ried. And he chuckled:
"Why, we've been in love for
almost two years. The wedding
is going to be right here in
Hollywood. and it's going to be
about February 15."
And Hollywood lifted an approx
ing eye, for the film capital had
known all about this romance.
Wheeler explained the indefi'
mite date for the wedding. 1t will
depend, he said, on completion OF
the new picture he and his cigar
chewing partner, Robert Woolsey
are to start in January. Said he,
with a soulful look in his eyes:
eve should complete it early
in February"
Wheeler's former wife. Bernice
Speerce, filed action for divorce
last January, and the final decree
is due next month.

QU|NTUPLETS
TAKING LIFE IN
OWN HANDS

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 QN.S0
The Dionne quintupletS should be
sent to mixed schools where they
will meet other boys and girls as
soon as they are old enough, for
otherwise "they will never be nor
NAL children or lead normal lives"
DR.. Allan R. Dafoe, their medical
director since birth, declared to-
day. He said:
"Their own brothers and sis
ters aren't yet allowed to play
with them. They're getting tenn
peramentaI, too. After they ap-
peared in those motion pictures
we had a difficult time with
them for a month. They didn't
know what it was, but 1t was
something unusual and it devel-
Oped their temperamentS. They
are now being taught dancing
and music. Later they will learn
English"
DR.. Dafoe said the quintupletS'
parents visit them nearly every
day, and the babies have come to
AI1OW do A1nAAAo pAAN
papa" They formerly regarded
DR.. Dafoe as their father and
called him "da."
The quintuplets are growing UP
and taking life in their own
hands," DR.. Dafoe asserted. He
said:
81 can't tell them apart" If
/ ask for one and she doesn't
answer, the others will point
her out. Then they'll run after
her and make her answer"
He said the babies have vo-
cabularies of several hundred
French words. They speak no
English.
He declined to visit the Kasper
QuadrupletS at PaSsaic.

UNITY SOUGHT

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
today revealed that the Commits
sioners are considering reorganiz-
ing and consolidating widely
scattered units of the Board Of
Public Welfare.
He stated that before the pro
gram is completed a survey Of
the welfare organization will
have to be made and new legis-
lation permitting consolidation Of
units sought Of Congress.
Criticism of conditions at the
National Training School for
Girls, Conduit and Little Falls
Roads Northwest, Mr.. Hazen said,
brought the need for such a pro-
gram to an issue. The institu-
ton has requested 100000 for
repair work, which the city heads
are seeking from the Budget
Bureau in the form Of a def
cheney appropriation.

SENATE TO GET
D.C.BILL SOON

The 1887 District Appropriation
bill will be reported to the Senate
before the week is out.
Most Of the items in the bill will
be restored to the budget estimates
and several items will be raised
above these. Despite efforts of the
House to force a budget on the
residents of the Nations Capital
so overbalanced that thev would
have to increase the real estate
levy or seek other revenue to meet
a deficiency, the Senate will level
off the inconsistencies.
The Senate District Appropria-
lions subcommittee met this morn
ing to mark up the bill and was to
meet again at 2 p. m. It IS not
expected that more than one or
two meetings will be necessary as
the members have expressed them
selves during the hearings as will
ing to rewrite the measure to
meet the pleas Of District Off
Gals and residents for more equi.
table distribution Of the money
involved.
A terrific fight is expected with
the House before the bill is finally
approved.

Hula Hula Builds I'm.
Not Reduces. Hips

No offenSe meant to the Ha-
waiian delegate to the q. S.. Con-
gress, but it appears that he gives
credit where credit is not due to
the hula hula.
Samuel w. King, that self-Same
delegate from the land of sunshine
and lei and hula hula dancers, is
firmly convinced that that hip
dance is a fine way to reduce
milady'S hips. 49,.
But there are those who take
issue notably instructors Of the
dance and reducing experts, who
appear to take the exact opposite
view. In fact, as Anne Evans,
assistant director Of an exclusive
dancing school. says:
1--WE never seen o Hawaiian
dancer who wasn't hlppy-ex-
tremely hippy."
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER
That seems to be your answer,
Delegate King. The proof Of the
pudding is in the eating, they say,
and the proof here is apparently
the opponents Of the hula hula
themselves.
Phil Hayden, director Of the
school, is inclined to the same
opinion:
''Et may reduce the waiStline.
but what 1t does to the hips
isn't worth the reduction in the
middle"
