her voice, and whirled toward the
door. Never had she looked more
witch-like than th>n.

against the Doctors arm.
To Miss Althea the shock Of see

moment. paralyzing. Her gioating
features fell into lines Of complete
surprise and horror; her out

rage had yet seen. Words poured
from her lips as q river In flood

FRANCES CLIFFORD

HOLLYWOOD. Sept 12.--Wed-
ding bells took another dismal and
double toll in the continual battle
between marriage and screen ca
reerS this week when both Frances
Clifford and Ann Sothern decided
20 leave their husbands and give
their all 10 the sound stages.
Frances Clifford. one Of the most
beautiful Of the films newcomers,

finds Just as she was launched

veered off in the direction of an
elopement with the actor James

She left the screen for is
months. during which she had
plenty of time 10 think over that
hasty runaway marriage on New
Years Eve, 1898 Last year she
left Dunn and made the separation
known 10 all.

ACTUALLY all our marriage
was one continual separation.
Jimmy was In New York In
Panama Hattie and stayed

the whole story" Frances told
us yesterday.

TO rescue her from this dire fate
by putting her in The Reluctant
Dragon" with Robert Benchley
and animated characters.

The Southern coal operators

delayed operatin contract for
this area last weekend. The

Terms of the new contract
are substantially granting by
the operators of all union de

summed up thus: a 81 per day
base pay, ten day paid vaca-
ton $500 and elimination of

Continued Loyalty
Despite Confusion
And Irresolution
!a.,f
BY DR.. Emmett j. Scott

One of the most encouraging
aspects of our present defense
effort is the evident and TO be
expected support by all loyal
elements of our Ar1erictn popula
Z ton.
There is no lack of unity with
respect to adequately arming
against Il foreign foe, from what
ever quarter he may come. This
has always been true whenever
the peace and st, urity Of the
| nitCd States has been mcnac-
ed. 1t will always be true.
Whatever discussions we are
now mdulping in are wholly I'M
related to the primary and atlir-
native question of complete pre-
paraliOn for whatever assaults
may come to American shores.
The president has demanded n
series of huge defense appro.
pria,lunS greatly beyond amy
prrdlctablc expectation. Gencr-
ouSl. and almost automatic
ally he Congress of the United
states has responded. There hSa
been no rrudginy hesitation.
X Gently, it was announced,
the total of these defense apprO-
proatiunSn ow amount to Forty
Two Billion Dollars. About the
