Hollywood-The Dionne Quintu- plets have approved the story for their next picture, to be called five of a Kind" At least, they've ap- proved of the authors of the story, and they like the song they'll warble in English for the screen.
 Except for this ditty, titled "All Mixed Up," the youngsters won't have to do much in the way of act ing. They need only be themselves and look cute for the oh's and ah's of the movie multitude. However, they'll be spotted in numerous se- quences through the picture and will do great deal more to justify their billing as stars.
 Yipee!
 The writing team of Lou Breslow and John Patrick went to Callander, Ontario, to meet the actresses and Doctor Dafoe, and to get an idea of what could be done with the Quints. Mostly they found out what couldn't be done, for the doctors rules are still inflexible. One sequence they're sure of will show the children in cowgirl costumes staging rodeo with the patient Doctor Luke (Jean Hershol0 as their horse.
 Two Languages
 Both writers are more enthusias- tic about the little Dionnes than were some of the Hollywoodsmen who previously tried to work with them. "It's silly to go up there and expect to find trained actors, like the ones in 8 Hollywood kids dram atic school" Breslow said. Because they have had to be so isolated, they're less exhibitionistic even than ordinary kids. You know they're not conscious of being watched by the crowds that go there to see them.
 But they're plenty bright, na- turally and instinctively. That same isolation has retarded them in learn ing to talk because they don't have much chance to jabber imitatively with older kids. At that, though, they talk quite lot now, in French, and they're being taught some Eng fish SO they can sing for the picture.
 Not many youngsters just turn ing 4 can say anything in two lan- guages. They sing pretty we'll French nursery stuff-and they're awful flirtS."

stable Jim Ogden and John Qualen as Papa Dionne) Wyatt. The pie ture will show Moosetown (Callan- der) basking in prosperity. Summer vile will have new jail, and Papa Wyatt will be doing huge business in autographs and handshakes.
 Romantic leads in the picture have not been named at this writ ing, although the girl likely will be Claire Trevor. Most of the BresloW- Patrick story happens in New York and revolves around radio. The man and girl are bitter rivals in the field of stunt broadcasting, and he ruth lessly appropriates her pet idea for a vox pop program.
 The Fighting Gets Hot
 In a movie theater she sees a newsreel of the Dionne Quints and gets hunch for NeWsreel of the Air. It proves successful, when she isn't scooped or thWarted by the mans competitive broadcast.
 He learns of her plan to put the Quints and other MoosetoWn per- sonalities on the air, precedes her to the Canadian village and warns Constable Ogden of the coming of 8 character named Panama Pearl who may, he hints, be contemplating a job of Kidnapping.
 So the girl (Miss Trevor, probably and her pal-assistant (Joan Davis, probably) are tossed in the pokey when they arrive. Duke Lester, the man, is about to close broadcast ing deal with the babies guardians when Doctor Luke is called to the jail to attend prisoner. The re- sourceful Miss Davis has faked a fit.
 Thus able to talk with Doctor Luke, the girls establish their iden- titles and land the broadcasting con- tract. Later Duke Lester tries to dim her triumph by hoax in which the successful birth of sexteuplets is announced. Miss Trevor exposes it..
 Soon, though, she overreaches her. self in attempting to aid a deserv- ing hospital for children by con- tracting to bring the Quints to New York for an appearance in Madison Square Garden. The children can not be removed from the Province of Ontaria. The heroine wriggles out of that one by bringing in the chil- dren by television, thus effecting for its inventor a sensational first public demonstration of a new tele- vision process.
 That's about all. The authors aren't sure yet just how they're go- ing to get Miss Trevor into the arms of MT. Lester. In fast, they asked me to send them 8 carbon

Federal Board Shuns
Action on Reserves
As Trade Gains
EorIy Move to Reduce
Large Idle Funds.
Believed Unlikely
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Federal Reserve Board experts
predicted that fear of upsetting
business improvement would prevent
any early action to decrease the UNI
precedented volume Of idle funds in
the Nations banks.
Last week the banks excess re-
serves-cash available for lending
and investment because it exceeds
the portion of deposits which by law
must be set aside to protect depos-
itors-reached the record high total
Of $3.50 100000, enough to finance
$25 900 900, 900 worth of credit.
The board, which regards $780,
600, 900 as normal excess reserves
figure, believes that such hoard Of
idle money is potentially dangerous,
because in boom times much of 1t
might be used for speculation, aggra-
waiting the type of boom which even-
tually causes depressions.
The danger, however, is not re-
garded as imminent. In fact, a mod
crate rise in credit is being sought.
Imports of foreign gold underlie
much of the problem. They caused
the excess reserves. Large scale ex-
ports would solve the problem. but
no substantial exports are in pros
pect. Foreigners sent the billions of
gold here for safe-keeping and they
are not likely to take home their
money until conditions abroad i'm
prove.

Washer and Ironer Week
Boosts Shipments

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28-Country-wide
observance of National Washer and
Ironer Week brought October ship
ments on a parity with 1887 figures
for the first time this year and gave
the industry its third best month of
1898, j. r. Bohnen, executive secre-
tary of the American Washer and
Ironer Manufacturers Association,
reports. ~
Marking general increased activity
in the home laundering appliance
field, August October washer ship
ments were 37.5 per cent of this
years ten-months' total.
House washers shipped to dealers
in October were 115,019, within less
than / per cent of the October, 1887,
total of 116,001, according to Mr..

Cotton Quotations
Remain Irregular
And Narrow
Trading Interest Centers
In Liquidation Of
December Contract
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Prices of
cotton moved narrowly and irregu-
larry during the last week. On the
New York Cotton Exchange active
future deliveries showed net changes
for the week of an advance of 10 to
decline Of points.
Trading interest centered in liqui-
dalton OF the maturing December
contract. The market situation in
that delivery continued very tight.
December went to new high pre-
MUM over more distant deliveries,
the spread between that month and
distant October going above 80
points.
A report issued November 81
showed ginnings prior to November
IA to be somewhat smaller than an
ticipated, but not enough. most
traders agreed, to call for any ap-
preciable change in crop ideas.
The Commodity Credit Corp. con-
tinued to report substantial move
ment of new crop cotton into the
Government loan stock, but the
movement was decreasing. Trade
ideas as to the total amount likely
to 60 into the new loan stock range
from around 100000 to 1000, 900.
That would represent from about 20
to about 80 per cent OF the current
crop. If that happens, and no cot
ton comes out of the loan stock the
Government will hold from l0,5OO,-
900 to 100000 bales OF cotton as
loan collateral at the end OF this
season.
Prices of the most deliveries, par
ticularly the October delivery, have
been depressed cotton men said, by
a feeling of uncertainty, both in
this country and abroad. relative to
United States cotton policies. IN
less the statistical position of Amer
lean cotton improves, the Agrlcul-
tural Adjustment Administration
would be required by the present
law to call for cotton crop in 1910
equal to only about one-quarter OF
what has heretofore been conSldered
a normal crop. That being so, many
cotton men predicted the next Con-
gress will change the present farm
law Z.
Business in the domestic cloth
market was again slower. with sales
of both unfinished and finished
goods reported less than produc-
ton. Prices on both lines were
mostly unchanged, with the ex-
ception of print cloths for spot de-
liveries which eased about one
eighth of a cent Mill operations
continued around the best levels
of the season SO far. Some in the
trade, however. expect a seasonal
tapering off over the next few weeks.
Forward business. on the average, is
reported to be fair.
