STARS PORTRAIT
 CAUSES BATTLE
Constance Bennett Wins Judges Decision, Loses
 Jury's Verdict
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood
 COrreSpOndent)

Hollywood, June 7-UP)-Willy Pogany took his portrait of Con- stance Bennett home from court to- day, turned it toward the wall, and announced that his fight had just begun.
 Judge Jess Stephens said Miss Bennett owed him nothing for the picture. Although the jury insisted that he had $3,500 coming to him. the judge. had the last word. All Pogany got was sympathy from the jurors and blue-eyed stare from the actress who said that he had painted her thighs too big, her hips too round, her mouth too wiggly, her waist too thick and her fingernails too pale.
 He said he was going to appeal. Miss Bennett said nothing.
 Hardly had court opened yester- day before Judge Stephens looked long at the portrait, then at Miss Bennett, and ordered the jury to throw out of court Pogany's suit to collect his $3,500 bill. The judge said Pogany had failed to prove that she owed him anything for the picture, because he had. guaranteed satis- faction-and she emphatically was not satisfied with his version of her thighs.
 After seven days of acrimonious testimony, mostly involving the thighs, the jurors were experts not only on the anatomy of Miss Ben- nett. but upon the artistic qualities of Pogany's rendition thereof. After Forewoman Stella Beatie had signed the order at the judges direction, Juror Grace H. Johnston said:
 You shouldn't have signed it."
 What else could I do?" replied Mrs. Beatie. T didn't want to-"
 Juror William B. George, Jr., was so incensed that he boiled his fel- loWs-all but one who had already left-to discover that 10 of them agreed that Miss Bennett should have been forced to pay the full bill.
 "It was 8 beautiful picture" {" George said. We would have re- turned a judgment for $5,00O if Po- gany had sued for that much"
 Pogany issued statement, which said:
 "She attacked my reputation as an artist and cast cheap sneers at my work She fell hack on the de- fense that she was not supposed to know the value of my work, since she knew nothing about art. As to her ignorance about art, must ad- init she presented the most con- yincing proof"

Latest T rend Toward
 Modest Cost Homes

In common with the crocus and the, robin and the other perennial harbingers of spring, a new crop of prospective home owners rises at this season each year to give the building industry its customary boost in activity.
 Despite the talk of hard times, and with the hardness of the young man whose fancy turn to romantic thought. the current group of home seekers provides adequate proof of the undim- ished demand for new residences.
 Only this year, local architects, extremely busy drawing plans, calling for bids and letting con- tracts, report the demand has talk en a different turn. The trend IS now toward modest cost homes, dwellings with a minimum number of rooms and costing around $6,- 900 and less.
 While the usual need for larger homes continues to be filled, the marked switch toward smaller places reflects the great amount Of pub licity attending the liberalization of the Federal Housing Adminis- tration requirements for insured mortgages, with the result that not few would be home owners are realizing that this financing scheme makes is possible for them to build.

GRANVILLE GETS EXPENSIVE HOME TO AID LEPERS
Doctors Hope to Develop
 Positive Cure With New Facilities

Carville, La., June - U.P) = Lepers, summed since the days of the Chaldeans, will have a $5,000- 900 home erected here shortly for their segregation and possible cure.
 Doctors at the present U. s. Marine hospital hope, with im- proved facilities, that some sure cure can be found for one of the scourges of mankind.
 If leprosy can be checked un- der irregular attention, how much more can be done under intelli- gent, systematic, daily care" they wonder.
 In Louisiana, the major battles against the mysterious disease have been fought since the days of the Spanish occupation when Governor Llloa, in 1766, estab- lished the first lazaretta, or leper quarantine colony, at Balize. about 80 miles below New Orleans.
 Dr. Isodore Dyer and the Rev. Charles Boglioli, a Catholic priest of an order known as the Lazar- ists, established the colony here with state aid in 1894.
 In Old Slave Quarters
 A rundown section of property containing several cabins that had once served as ante-bellum slave quarters and brick mansion, slow ly crumbling, was bought. NeighborS of the estate, noticing the painting on the cabins and the mansion, had to be told that the new owner in- tended to raise ostricheS and that ostriches were particular birds.
 Father Boglioli, meanwhile, had contracted leprosy from his daily minstrations to sufferers in hospi- tai wards and had been secretly buried.
 When the colony was completed, the first group of lepers was brought up the river at night on Q coal barge lowed by a tug. When residents of the neighborhood learned why the plantation had been bought, they threatened for . time to burn the place.
 Dr. Dyer arranged with the Order of the Sisters of Charity to take care of his patients. Four of them, in blue habits and white winged coronets, arrived in the middle of an April rain in 1896 to be welcomed by some 20 lepers.
 Hardships Gradual" Based
 The nuns took shelter in the old plantation house. One of them opened the door of store room and fell in a faint. The place was crawling with snakes.
 Things went more smoothly for the colonists but Dr. Dyer gradu- ally realized they were not receiv- ing the proper medical attention. Finally the Federal government took over the institution.
 Since then, lepers have been re- eeived in increasing numbers from all parts of the country. Some have gone out, their cases lar rested" Some have died there. But doctors, SO far, have been unable with available facilities to find a positive cure.
 That they hope to do when the new home is completed.
