solve their matrimonial troubles
were back in District Court yester-
day when the husband filed a suit.

In September, 1881, according to
the suit, Mrs. Dickens went to North

District Court here against her hus-
band. but the decree never was
granted. In December, 1881. she
filed a request for limited divorce,
but Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
suggested a reconciliation in
memorandum opinion and the
parties effected an agreement. But
the couple separated again in De-
cember, 1887, the court was told.

rs. A. Agrees 10 Bargain
With Homestead Union ;
4y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Farm Security Administra-
ton granted bargaining rights yes
terday to the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union at Dyess Colony,
rural homestead project in Missis-
sippi County, Ark.
A request for recognition was
granted by DR.. Will Alexander, F.
s. A. administrator, at a conference
with union representatives and a
sharecropper resident of the project.
H. L. Mitchell, Memphis, Tenn,
q member Of the unions national
board of directors, presented evi-
dence that more than two-thirds of
the 316 heads Of families at the
Government-owned- project were
members of the union and wanted
1t to bargain for them in the man
agement of the project.
Mr.. Mitchell said the recognition
would pave the way for unioniza-
ton of sharecroppers and tenants
on privately owned cotton planta-
tions and a campaign to obtain
landlord recognition of the organi-
Eation.
DR.. Alexander said he agreed to
bargain with the union because it
represented a majority of the prof.
ect colonists. He said he would
grant similar recognition to any
group on any F. S. A. project, wheth-
er it be a union or not, as long as
1t represented majority.

asked him to 60 with her to one of
New York's major model agencies
where she was seeking work and
talk for her, as she got tongue-tied
when she tried to praise her own

Conover went with her, talked the

self into job as model for mems
clothes.
Then. few days later, he became
angry at the agency manager,
walked out, started his own agency
and began signing up every pretty
girl In sight.
So today the editors and adver-
tisins managers. the stage and movie
talent scouts, the artists and pho
tographers flock to Conover, one
of the top men in his field.
Not Beautiful.
Models used to get as much as
$50 an hour. but that was in the
prosperous days before the depres-
sion." Conover says, To-day the
average scale has leveled to about
$40 an hour for really excellent
model The average posing Job runs
from to hours. They work from
job to Job
Unlike stage and movie stars.
models are seldom temperamental'
Many of the models. the ones YOU
see so often in the pages of your
newspapers and magazines. are not
beautiful in real life. They are in
teresting looking. but strikingly diff
ferent from the way they appear in
pictures and paintings. They have
contour of face or a certain tech
nique of posing that makes them
stand out from the crowd.
In most cases" ConOVer says,
personality and intelligence, rather
than fat beauty, is 65 per cent of
what determines successful model
"A girl who has these qualities,
but isn't of the complete glamour
type, succeeds because she also has
to get out and work like a Trojan.
The really glamorous girls relax and
hope that just that is sufficient. Too
often it falls short of what is
needed"
Conover, who admits that the ma
iority of New York's star models
are discovered in neighborhoods
away from Manhattan, picks the
following lassies as the top ranking
group, those who lure the highest
salaries:
Definitely Married.
I. Bea Blaxton, a blond from
Seattle. who has the charm of being
fresh along with the added quality
OF sophistication. She appeared on
eight national magazine covers in
the first month she started as a
model in New York, which is some
thing of a record. She is married
to an engineer from the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology and
can cook

California land it should be men,

as models because they come out
