Receives Plea to
Grow Beard
BY DAVID p. SENTNER
Copyright, 1881. by International
News Servics)


LONDON, Jan. 14.-The hither-
to self-effacing Ernest Simpson,
tirc of the "unimportance of be-
ing Ernest" ruthlessly pressed
his demand today for substan-
tial money settlement in court or
out, to silence the reported .whis-
pering campaign against him in
Mayfair's salons.
Newspapers quickly turned the
whispers into a shout when they
splashed Simpsons Slander suit
against Mrs. Joan Sutherland with
prominence reminiscent of the
crisis during King Edwards abdi-
cation for love of Mrs. Wallis
Simpson.
The Daily Mirror devoted prac-
tically its entire front page to
Simpsons action, growing out OF
remarks Mrs. Sutherland allegedly
made regarding Mrs. Simpsons
divorce suit. Long paragraphs
told of Simpsons career at Har-
ward, in the Royal Guards, and in
the shipping business.
Irked By InnuendOs
Although Simpson is understood
to be keen on letting his Slander
writ go to trial for a public airing
of West End Society's gossip, he is
expected to agree to a settlement
out of court.
Simpson. who quietly went
about his business while his wife
was front-page news all over the
world, was represented as greatly
distressed by innuendos concern
ing motives for the divorce.
He did not appear in court
when Mrs. Simpson was awarded
a decree nisi at Ipswich, but now,
tortured by muttered quips, he
wants to take the stand in his
SANDER action and tell "at long
last" his side of the story.
Attorneys Negotiate
Mrs. Sutherland, wife of Lieut..
Col. Arthur H. c. Sutherland, left
for a secret destination in Scot,
land without commenting on the
writ filed against her by Simpson.
Attorneys, it is understood, are
negotiating for a settlement.
Simpsons suit, a revival of
chatter about the Duke of Wind
Sor, and a back-to-VictorianiSm
movement that has even suggested
that King George VI grow beard
like his father, failed, however, to
impede the legal process Of Mrs.
Simpsons divorce action.
The Kings proctor, whose duty
is to pry into the sincerity of di-
vorce actions, decided, after thor
oughly investigating Mrs. Simp-
sons suit, that there was no rea-
son why he should intervene. Con-
Sequently there is nothing to keep
the decree "nisi" already granted
to the former Baltimore woman
from becoming final in April, it
was learned.
Edwards Allowance
Meanwhile former King Edward,
who renounced his throne for
love of Mrs. Simpson, again be-
came a favorite topic in the
weekly reviews, which only last
week criticized his brothers, the
Duke of Kent's, social circles.
Queen Elizabeth will put
crinolines" on the court and the
Duke of Windsor will be indi-
rectly rebuked by staff changes,
the weeklieS indicated.
Parliamentary labor leaders, ac-
cording to the News Review, told
the cabinet they would refuse to
support an increase in the royal
civil list in favor of the Duke OF
Windsor. The government has
therefore decided that Edward S
yearly allowance will come from
the duchy of Cornwall, which is
now the property of George vi.

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Sweeping con-

mineral wealth of Spanish Mo-
rocco were promised to Germany
by insurgent Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco in return for arma-
ments furnished the Spanish in
SurgentS, according to reports in
diplomatic circles today.
This, it is stated, is the reason
for concentration of German en-
gineers recently reported to have
landed in Spanish territory in
Africa, precipitating a still dan
gerous crisis between France and
the Reich.
Oil Is Given
Chief among those resources
promised to Germany is oil, it is
stated.
German technicians, according
to the diplomatic report, are al
ready prospecting in Spanish Mo-
roccan oil fields, hitherto unex-
plotted, and a quantity of Ger
man-made oil drilling machinery
from the Bleichter company in
Berlin has been landed in the last
few weeks from German freighters

EMERGENCY FLOOD

Chairman Wilmington Of the
House Flood Control Committee said
after White House conference today
he hoped Congress would authorize
at this session appropriations for
emergency and priority" flood works,
especially in the Ohio Valley.
The Mississippi Representative con-
ferred with President Roosevelt and
Daniel w. Bell acting budget director.
He said he hoped for passage of q
smaller flood control bill than origi-
nally contemplated "on the theory
that larger authorization bill will
come along next session"
To questions about economy argu-
ments against immediate flood control
expenditures. Wilmington declared 1T
is economical to provide public works
to prevent recurrence of destructive
floods because ultimately the money
has to be spent anyway"
Outside Budget Figure.
The Mississippian said the proposed
bill would be outside the s3O,OOO,O0O
budget figure for next year The bud
get, he said, provided only for projects
already authorized by Congress.
Whittington's visit to the White
House followed his expressed opposi-
ton to further delay in flood legisla-
ton. He sought an agreement to as
sure action at this session
The long-smouldering dispute over
flood control and its companion piece,
power development, fared up almost
on the eve of President Roosevelts
message on national planning.
Representative Rayburn, Democrat,
Of Texas, the majority leader, con-
tended flood control should be linked
with power development so revenues
from the power could defray the cost.
Jurisdiction Question.
Some representatives expected the
Presidents message to discuss both
problems, but said disagreement
existed whether Whittington's COM
mittee should have jurisdiction.
In the past, Mr.. Roosevelt has ad-
vocated linking food control, i'm
provement OF navigation, prevention

development in broad national pro-
gram, He expressed hope that, even
with restoration of normal employ
ment, the country could afford to ap-
propriate about S500,o0o,o0o year for

GRIPPING THE CLUB
BY Best BALL

THERE are three ways OF grip.
L ping the golf club; the overlap.
ping, interlocking and the natural
two haaded grip. In the overlap.
ping grip the little finger of the right
hand overlaps the forefnger of the
left. With the interlocking grip the
little finger of the right hand is in.
terlocked with the forefnger of the
left. A large number Of the good
golfers today employ one or the
other of these grips and their value
lies largely in creating better CO.
ordination Of movement between
the two hands.
The problem is to make the hands
work as closely together as posi-.
BILE, to eliminate any tendency
friction between the two.
Good golf is a matter of smooth
stroking and there is trouble enough
along the swings path without
handicapping the stroke at the start.
There are craftsmen in every field
who grip the tools differently and
golf is no exception. Two of the
greatest golfers of this era, Bobby
Jones and Gene, Sarazen, used diff.
ferent grips, the former overlap.
ping and the latter, interlocking.
Most of the good golfers of the pres.
ent day possess large hands and
this makes the problem of which OF
these two grips to use comparatively
simple for both are suitable for big
hands and long fingers. Among the
rank and file Of players, however.
there are many with small hands
and stubby fingers. Women in par.
ticular have a natural handicap in
small hands and to overcome this
the two handed grip is used. The
hands placed on the club in the |

PAINT AND VARNISH
REMOVERS

DAINT and varnish removers do
1 not actually remove a finish;
their action is to soften the oils Of
a finish sufficiently to permit it to
be wiped and scraped off. Liquid
removers are a combination of SOL
vents, such as wood alcohol, ben.
zine, anyl acetate, and other liq-
uids, usually combined with paraf-
fin to check evaporation. Liquid
removers act quickly; usually in not
more than 20 minutes. By that
time paint and varnish will be so
softened that they can be wiped off
with a rough cloth. For old paint,
a second application may be neces-
sary, and scraping with a putty
