Bill Powell On
Ideal Setting
FOrLOUe

HOLLYWOOD, April 10 u.N.S0.
Love may be a universal language,
but it has its phases, and a time
for every phase.
One Of the screens philosophic
stars has had his love affairs in
every known setting. He has held
in his arms such beautiful women
as Carole Lombard, Joan Craw-
ford, Jean Harlow, Myrna 10y,
Virginia Bruce, and now for the
third time, he is making love to
Luise Rainer.
From these experiences he has
compiled a list Of the most ideal
settings for love-making and the
worst settings for love-so bark
to Professor William Powell and
his chart:
Favorable for love-making:
/. A transatlantic steamship
For the languid time-on-my-
hands lovers.
2. A streamlined tratn-For
restless Sweethearts.
8. An airplane - For those
who have no time for anything
not even love.
4. A hammock beneath the
maples-for those who let the
rest of the world roll by.
5. A country lane-for young
love-struck dreamerS.
Never make love, Powell says
1. In an automobile: the
morgues are over-crowded.
2. On a bicycle; 1t will brighten
horses.
3. At a prizefight; it may in
fluence the future.
4. At a racetrack; it "tips" the
future wife where your money
may go.
S. At the beach; other lovelies
in one-piece suits may change
his mind.
Powell said he also believed that
romance never should be kindled
in cafes, on the dance floor, in
theaterS or other public gather
ings. True love is too sacred to be
placed on display.
SO the next time you read In a
gossip column that so-and-so are
holding hands in the such'and-
such cafe-draw your own con-
illusions; and the item after all
may be-just gossip.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
PLANS COMPLETED
Both Creditors and Debtors
Ready to File Proposals
for Reorganization.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 13.-Re-
organization Of the l3,000-mile Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad system, in
trusteeship since 1888, moved a step
closer with announcement that two
new plans for readjusting the carriers
capital structure would be filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today.
Filing of plans is the outgrowth of
failure of debtors and creditors to
agree on important particulars.
The one plan, put forth by the
debtor companies. would give present
bcnoholders financial control of the
road, but would keep operating con-
troll in the hands of present stock
holders.
The other, drawn by the so-called
Stedman Committee, for Missouri
Pacific first and refunding per
cent bonds, would squeeze out" pres
ent common and preferred stock
holders.
1t was indicated, however, that if
all other classes of security holders
favored the debtors plan, the Sted-
man group would abandon its pro-
posal to eliminate present common
and preferred holders and back the
debtors proposal permitting present
stockholders to subscribe to common
stock of new company at S25 per
share for the first seven years and
$50 for the next eight years This
contrasts with proposal under a
first plan of the Stedman group to
permit holders to subscribe to stock
of the reorganized company at S6250
a share.
w. Lloyd Kitchel, counsel for the
Stedman Committee, said the debtor
and Stedman plans are similar, eX-
cept for treatment of present stock
holders and the matter of bond in
terest.
Under either plan, he pointed out,
the first and refunding SIS would re-
ceive 25 per cent of their principal
amount in new first mortgage 4 per
bonds, 10 per cent in per cent
cumulative income bond SIS per cent
In per cent convertible non-cumu-
lative income bond, and 10 per cent,
plus the earned and unpaid interest
approximately 20 per cent?, in prior
preferred stock. But under the COM
mittee's plan. they would, in addition,
receive the balance of their unpaid
interest approximately 1112 per cent?
IN a participating preferred issue.
