Individuality Makes Campus Chic; Here Are Suggestions
By ADELAIDE KERR AP Fashion Editor

College girls! Do you want few credits in chic?
 Then be little different"
 Wear a gold rope necklace with your sweater instead of that string of pearls that half the country's s college girls select. Discard that long suffering peasant kerchief tied under your chin for a bright cap squashed over your curls. Mix your colors with a sure, but daring hand. And see what a dirndl can do for you
 As to the more serious side, campus clothes this year are, as al- ways, casual. Skirts and sweaters still get the largest vote at eastern schools. The skirts, of mixture, monotone or plaid wools, may be pleated or plain, while the sweaters are nearly always crew-necked. There's a chance for individuality in contrasting the colors of the two and adding a tweed jacket, wool socks and long wool scarf to har- monize.
 Reversible coats are practical for campus wear. This years edi- tions are generally squared mod els made of tweed or camels hair on one side and gabardine on the other.
 The off the campus wardrobe generally includes another coat of black, |. brown, dark green or wine colored wool, cut on fitted sil- houette and simply furred with some such pelt as beaver, mink or nutria.
 Dresses should include one sim pie wool frock and several dark crepe ones to be worn with spark ling clips or a chunky" glittering necklace to weekend teas and dances.
 One simply tailored suit, whose fitted jacket has rather high throat line, is almost must for the college girl, since it can be worn for travelling and weekend jaunts.
 Evening frocks, which complete her wardrobe, have wide swishing skirts this year. They come in white, black, green, russet and blue satins. taffetas, chiffons and vel vets and are often topped by jackets to match,

AWFUL TRUTH' ENDS HERE AT
 CAPITOL SHOW
Irene Dunne, Cary Grant Form Comedy Team for
 Hit Seen Tonight

Columbia's romantic o m V, "The Awful Truth" starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant, with Ralph Bellamy, Alexander Darcy, Cecil Cunningham and Robert Allen in suppc"5, ends tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre Also in a prominent role is Skippy, the ''Thin Man" wire hair pup masquerading as MT. Smith.
 The Awful Truth" tells of the final tiff between Mrs" Irene Dunne and MT" Cary Grant which leads to the divorce courts.
 There, in what is said to be the most hilarious courtroom scene ever filmed, they battle for the custody of MT. Smith with Irene the victory Cary, however, wins the courts per mission to visit the dog once a month.
 Love. it seems, has no respect for divorce decrees, for the mo- ment Cary announces his intention to re-marry, Miss Dunne sets out to win her man again by methods hilarious though perhaps not cricket
 The films highlight is the final sequence set in a swank mansion at which a dinner party is being rendered to announce Cary rGant's engagement. Irene worms herself into being invited by posing as his sister. Scandalous is the word for what happens after that.
 Leo McCarey, who won memor- able fame for his "Ruggles of Red Gap, directed "The Awful Truth" from Vina Delmar's adaptation of Arthur Richman's famous S ta e play.

 Frank Malo. Italian youth who actually kas born in a tenement located in the eastern metropolis, falls naturally mic the role of gang member, and Don Latorre another Italian, is Tony Concilla leader of a gang of boys that is opposed to the Chuck Brennan group

e-Cent Bill
 Costs City AT
 Gents to Handle

DENVER, Aug 30.-It took six weeks to do but the City of Denver has finally closed a scent deal.
 When City Auditor William H. McNichols paid out the nickel he estimated that it cost the city AT cents in bookkeeping operations.
 The Scent purchase passed un- der the scrutiny of eighteen city employees and caused thirty-one bookkeeping operations before the bill was paid.
 The transaction started when the driver of a city-owned vehicle de- cided the car needed new spring in the door lock, Scent article, and requisitioned it. It ended when McNichols, six weeks later, wrote the 5-cent voucher in payment.

Like others of the Group, Gar field learned to eat scantily - for the sake of putting on plays with ideas
 My chief purpose" he says, lis to become constantly better actor But at the same time I want to do all I can for the advancement of liberal ideas. I was told Hollywood would be deadly dull--I find more excitiAg talk here than in New York.
 He speaks organizations pro- democracy, anti-fascism - with en- thusiasm And of pictures like 'Zola" and ''Thcy Won't Forget" and Blockade" aS the kind he wants to be in, the kind the screen is coming to. He is sure of that. The public-forsaking it's old idea that great wealth is the ideal - is settling down to live, to. read, to think. It will demand thought from the screen. It will tire of boy meets-girl stuff
 Such talk-from an actor!
 Nothing can keep me from speaking. my mind on the things I believe in,' he says. "If moneys the club, it won't work because I don't care about it. I can leave any time"
 And the lad, believe me, is sin cere. He'll never be movie star. He talks too much

JULES GARFIELD
 IS STAGE ACTOR,
 NOT MOVIE STAR
He alks Just What He W ants to Say and
 Let'e Go at That
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 30. - Jules Garfield-now John-will never be a movie star. He will never be rich. He will never have Beverly Hills shack with a swimming pool and four buffers.
 His studio, since it saw him on the screen in Four Daughters is sure it has a new star The bally- hoos already loosed. But John will never be a movie star. He won t let himself be. He says the plays the thing, and very few acting names should go above it's title.
 Hollywood, for three years, has been offering him good money to come out and see it some time, for keeps. He's taking less money for the kind of contract he wants. On 60 days notice he can go back to the stage any time. He doesn't want to be rich. He has a mission in life.

John Garfield is 26. He is shorter than the average movie actor but well proportioned. His hair is black, his skin is olive, his teeth flash white. His manner and speech are cultured. He talks seriously of Great Things-as he sees them-just as if he'd learned it all at the finest of universities.
 In sense, he did. He was born on New York's lower east side. He was a problem child, a community menace, a Dead End kid He says he's sure he could have been a gangster if it hadn't been for An gelo Patri, the child psychologist.
 Patri impressed him through kindness where others had failed with force. Patri suggested the theatre as his vocation-and Gar field was an actor from that time on. In the Patri school later in high school, he studied and prac-

 Negotiations proceeded amicably yesterday. Technically, they con- cerned only the unions contract with the Carnegie Illinois company U. S. Steers larges subsidiary, but an agreement would be a pattern for new contracts with all subsidiar- ies and other companies that have recognized the union.

COAL PROBLEM CAUSES FRANCE
 MORE CONCERN
Shortage of Stocks Leads to Modification of 4O=
 Hour Week

Paris, Feb. (UP)-According to the terms of decree recently pub iished in the Official Gazette, the 40-hour week for French coal mines has been slightly modified, the de- cree authorizing employers to call for. roughly, one extra days work OCT month in 1939-12 days for the year.
 The decree further stipulates, that over and above this maximum increase of 62 hours, the total mum her of extra hours may be extended to 93 hours per annum, but only m exceptional cases of national m- tereSt."
 However. despite this decree, the Miners Federation in a converSa- tion with the under-secretary or gtate for mines subsequently, pointed out that at the end of 1887 their representatives had told the produc- tion inquiry committee that they accepted the increase with reserva- tions. The Miners Federation fur ther asked to be assured that no supplementary working hours would be decided upon without previous consultation with workers organlza- tions.
 Paul Ramadier, under-secretary of state for public works, on that occasion said that the government would not allow any exceptions to be made except ill special cases, while the official communique of this conversation stated:
 Frances needs are variable; when faced by sudden increases of consumption, social laws must be sufficiently staple to answer the re- uuirements of inperious necess- ities."
 Tn no case, however, has there ever been an official definition ot what constitutes "imperious neces- sities," and the present situation according to the published conclu- sions of the production inquiry committee, does not appear to add any new light. The committee con- cludes it's findings with the words: "Coal stocks are only sufficient TOT three or four days normal consump- tion; this is a fact which might eventually engender grave risks for the general supplies of the country.
 In these circumstances, France S coal imports are bound to become increasingly heavy and the produc- tion inquiry committee estimates that in the near future this coun- try will be importing in the neigh boehood of $260,0O0,0O0 worth Of coal per annum. The imports for 1885 were. roughly. half this figure while coal imports for November last alone totaled about S20,OO0OO0, Expressed ill volume, coal imports into France for 1887 were ill the vicinity of 31.000000 tons, compared with g 3O00,OOO tons in 1885.
 Os the total daily production of French coal mines is, roughly, 170,OOO tons, the utilization of all 12 days supplementary work pro vided for by the decree for excep- tional cases would only yield g. OOo,OOO tons extra. Also, from purely commercial point of view, it must be noted that each supple mentary hour of work carries a 20 per cent wage increase with it.

29th. They admit that China is confused and chaotic, because Chinese fight Chinese.
 We had to pass through the Japanese lines outside of Peiping to get here, but they knew noth- ing about it. We ran into the 89th about 25 miles from Peiping, walked to Nankou, took a pas senger train and a freight train here.
 I have never seen the country side so green at any time of the year. The crops are abundant and almost painfully beautiful. We explored the road ahead and finally an into a trench about 2OO-feet deep where there were a few soldiers of the 89th division. While we were trying to get per- mission to go across, nine Japa- nese bombers came toward uSand we ran away from the trench as fast as we could and backde the car under tree.
 While on the road to Nankou another flight of bombers flew over and we hid in the kaoliang. At Nankou we met Colonel Jen, commander of the advance regl- ment. There were no trains leav- ing and we finally got the station- master to bring out a handcar. but he said it would be impossible for us to make the grade through i Nankou Pass, so we decided tc leave the question of transporta- ton to Colonel Jen. He gave us dinner and finally we got on a steel-plated train car with a guard
 There was a soldier on the train who leaned across to us and said
 Chinese are terrible people They fight each other"
 He shook his head.
 We'll never beat Japan unless we stop fighting each other"
 It's hard pull up through Man. kou Pass and the smoke from the engine turned into hot fire some times when we were in the tunnel Half way up, we got out and were handed over to an escort of tht brigade headquarters.
 At Kangchunan, the train stop ped; it wasn't going any farther We were out in the country, il the dark and seemed worse of than before. A locomotive hac practically slumped to the rails ir the middle of the track. It was a large mountain type, but bombs had wrecked it.
 An engine backed into the sta ton, hooked onto the freight car and we were of alone again tr the dark.
