head Oh. But q large percentage Of
his audience Is probably whispering
knowingly how sad II u that slch
. handsome fellow. with such 1
grand voice, cannot see across the
footlghts. The Eddy blindness"
story has become q Nationwide
epidemic. It started two years ago
and despite repeated denials has
grown steadily until today Eddy and
his studio are much worried about
its permanently damaging effect on
the singers career.
The mad rumor, according to
Eddy's statement to this writer be-
fore he left on his current tour, was
launched In Alabama. He has re-
ceived thousands Of letters from
distressed fans, from religious
groups and others to say they are
praying for him-and from medical
groups suggesting cures. A news
story from Toronto q short time ago
said a doctor in that city had been
chosen to operate on the star. When
Eddy demanded q retraction, it
came-in the form Of statement
declaring that due to the publicity,
the singer had chosen another doc
tor.
While singing on the concert
stage. Eddy sometimes carries q
small notebook. This is more to
give him something to do with his
hands than to refresh his memory
on song words. The wiser ones be-
gan whispering:
"Ah-ha! See, he never looks at
that book. He reads it with his
hands. It's Braille!"
In some sections, stories circulate
that Eddy is led to the center OF the
stage by his manager behind drawn
curtains and that he sings and re-
mains in that position until the cur
tains come together again.
Nothing I can do about 1t, I
guess" blurted Eddy. But It's
darned unpleasant to read that
you're going blind and that is doc
tors refuse to hold out hope"
A classic canard also involves
Clark Gable. Some time ago Gable

primitive touch to the scenery. This
he did, very effectively. Then, as
the script wanted, Edward took of

was beautiful shot. But Edward
kept on going.
Far up in the blue wheeled an
other eagle, and Edward joined it

story to say that Edward reappeared

To achieve such IN effect, she
tosses most Of the rules for stylish

white, sequins, large jewels, full
skirted gowns and fluffy furs. She
loves gay colors. Her hats have
plumes and feathers.
But let her tell it:
Don't wear tight clothes" she be-
gins, "for they do not slim. They
fatten by calling attention to the
lines Of the figure. Swath the
waist to form fit but let skirts fall
In soft, loose folds. Cover up un-

Three Criminal Cases
Against Nolan Dropped

United States Attorney David A.
Pine and Assistant United States
Attorney John j. Wilson today an
nounced nolle pressing of three
criminal cases against William J.
Nolan, president of the bankrupt
Nolan Motor Co.
Mr.. Nolan was acquitted in two Of
five original criminal cases and in
one of the remaining three, they
said, Mr.. Nolan was tried but the
jury disagreed. Two of the indict-
ments charged Mr.. Nolan with false
pretenses and conspiracy to commit
false pretenses, Mr.. Wilson recalled,
while another indictment accused
him of false pretenses and conspir-
acy to commit false pretenses in
conjunction with another transac-
ton. In addition, there were two
indictments, charging Mr.. Nolan
with forgery, Mr. Wilson said. Just
shelved were the forgery indict-
ments and that accusing him of
false pretenses and conspiracy to
commit false pretenses-the ease in
which the hung jury" figured, he
said.
At the same time Mr.. Pine an
nounced that five indictments
against James F. Gallagher, former
secretary of the Nolan company, a
co-defendant with Mr.. Nolan, have
likewise been nolle pressed. Mr..
Gallagher testified as the Govern
ment's star witness against Mr..
Nolan in the case in which he was
freed by a District Court jury We'd
nesday. Representing Mr.. Nolan
are Attorneys William E. Leahy and
James F. Reilly.

Whether the articles merely

Earthquake Prevented War.
1t was commonly reported that
Japan was so excited and aggrieved
by the exclusion law that she might
have gone to war in protest, except
that the earthquake of the previous
year had SO dislocated the island en-
pire's economic, military and naval
structure that conflict with the pow
erful trans-Pacific neighbor at such
a time was impracticable. Now,
again, Toxic officials and the Japa-
nese press which they inspire and
control are talking about 1.-The most
serious potential consequences"
which may flow from American at
tempts Ito use the trade treaty as
a club to wreck the new order in
Asia" But If conditions caused by
the 1923 earthquake deferred her war
lords from attacking the United
States over immigration, 1t hardly
seems likely that with Japan's ener-
gies absorbed in the colossal and
fruitless struggle with China, she
would or could now venture con-
illusions with Uncle Sam over the
commercial treaty or even over an
embargo on export of American war
materials. That astute and up-to-
date authority on the Far Eastern
situation, Admiral Harry E. Yarnell,
lately our naval commander in chief
in Asiatic waters. is of opinion that
the islanders have no stomach for
