Slot-Machine Entertainment

Another new development in slot
machine entertainment made its ap-
pearance recently in Hollywood and
it bids fair to enguf the nation be-
fore long. It is called the Talking
luke Box" The device looks like
the nickel-in-the-slot music box
and it will play most anything
requested-by asking an operator at
some distant point. The machines
are connected with leased wires
from a central station, with girl
operators ready to serve your every
request. Drop a coin in a slot and
from the central Office a sweet soft
voice asks, number. please" just
like the telephone operator. The
customer then mentions the song or
orchestra number he wishes and
presto-just like that-the operator
selects the record, puts it on turn
table. plugs the music into the prop
er outlet, and 10, and behold, the
music 'comes out right here"

MAIN STREET THEATRE
Previews of Features


When ice skating first became
an important factor in the enter
tainment world, Dorothy Lewis,
then young dancer in her early
teens, decided she would evolve
something new. Hence, while 9TH
er skaters were concentrating on
tricky figure skating, Dorothy
brought ballet dancing to the rink,
and became renowned as a dancer
on ice.
AS the disturbingly beautiful and
unbelievably agile leading lady of
Republics "Ice Capades," to be
shown next Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday at the Main Street Thea
tre, she makes her motion picture
debut, establishing herself among
the ranks of the most promising
newcomers Of the season.
When Dorothy received her
first "big time" contract to skate
with the Ice Follies at the Hotel
New Yorker, her contract was
signed just three days before the
death Of her grandfather, Tom j.
Lewis, fulfilling his often expressed
wish to see her starring on Broad.
way. The elder Lewis had been
active in every phase Of entertain
ment, from Shakespearean roles
through minstrel and circus per-
formances, and his life was Dor
othy's inspiration.
Dorothy was born on April 10 in
ST. Paul, Minnesota. She attended
grammar and high schools there,
being active in baseball, high
jumping and tumbling. Her faith
er was an artist and her mother
a dancer, and both encouraged her
ambitions for a dancing career
Dorothy, who Is just five feet
two, has eyes Of blue, brunette hair
and tips the scales at mere 112.
She is a business woman, in spite
Of her tender years, and now has
her own ice show.

S Children on l Nickel
Brings Slight Congestion

NEW YORK.-A slight case Of
congestion developed when five
Bronx children tried to jam through
a subway turnstile on one nickel
and it took police emergency
squad to extricate them. Carefully
disposing themselves in the none
too-roomy compartment Of self
service turnstile. they began to push
when the last one in dropped the
coin into the slot.
One girl caught her head between
two bars. The crowd drawn by
her screams brought patrolmen
with crowbars. A police sergeant
delivered a lecture.

their indebtedness through infla-
ton and that will eliminate the
middle class which Is always the
backbone of every country. Then
they will have to start all over
again and it will have to be from
scratch. It will take many decades
to repair the damage and again
re-establish society on a firm foot
ing.
I have long thought that we
made a serious mistake in not
joining the League of Nations,
with the Lodge reservations. A
strong League backed by the force
of the signatory nations might
have prevented the outbreak of
another war.
The peace treaty that will mark
the close Of this war must pro-
vide for equal treatment Of all ma
tions and more especially for equal
opportunity to draw upon the world
supply Of raw materials. It was
in this respect that the Treaty of
Versailles was most deficient and
I am satisfied that failure to open
up the raw material markets of
the world on an equal footing to
all nations was primarily respon-
sible for this war. That mistake
must not be made again. We did
not learn much of anything from
the last war. Let us take heed
from past experiences and mis-
takes, when this tragedy comes to
an end.
Silk Shortage
The run on silk hosnery has
finally subsidized and we are told
that in short time an acceptable
cotton substitute will be placed on
the market. We have had many
runs" on banks and it seems that
I have heard about runs in hos
iery, but as to that I am not sure.
Notwithstanding the shortage of
silk for defense purposes United
States currency is still partially
made up of silk thread. Wouldn't
1t be a good idea to substitute
synethetic rubber for silk in paper
money? To make the change now
would merely be to anticipate the
time when our currency will be
all rubber.

Immigrant Girls Fish
Cart Turns Into Millions

Anybody who ever exclaimed, or
felt like exclaiming, II never had a
chance" should have a look with
the minds eye) at Mrs. Fannie
Feinberg. This lady runs a fish
shop in the famous Fulton Fish
market in New York, has three of
her five sons on her staff, and does
an annual business Of $400, 900.
In rating the chances Of normal
persons to succeed, surely none
could be put much lower than a
little immigrant girl Of II, speaking
only Russian, and having all her
worldly goods tied up in a handker-
chief. The time was 1885. But this
girl was eager to work, and de-
termined to get along.
In a few years she had acquired
q husband and fish cart. BY dill
gence the cart was worked up to a
standing store. Then one day op-
portunity knocked on the door, and
Fannie threw it wide open. An or
der came to supply the fish for
large hotel banquet. Fannie took
charge Of it personally, and instead
Of merely delivering the number Of
pounds ordered, she decided to have
the fish cleaned and cut into individ-
ual portions ready to be cooked and
served.
That extra service not only made
a permanent friend Of the hotel but
attracted others, and the little store,
always seeking to give better serv-
ice, grew into a market handling
nearly 5000, 900 pounds Of fish
year.

State Officials
Seek Change
In Oleo Rule
Meeting Held To Avert
Injury to Minnesota
Dairy Industry

Efforts are being made by Min
nesota state officials through
negotiation with officials Of south
ern states to obtain a modification
Of the new federal oleomargarine
order, scheduled to go into effect
September 9Th, which Minnesota
farmers and farm leaders say will
be so disastrous to Minnesota
farmers.
The order, issued by Paul v. Nc
Mutt, head Of the Federal Security
Administration, prescribes a defini-
ton for oleomargarine which per-
mits manufacturers Of that product
to add ingredients that will make
it close imitation of butter. See
ing a direct threat to the dairy
industry and a disruption Of our
entire farm economy If these reg
ulations are permitted to stand,
Governor Harold E. Stassen re-
quested that arrangements be
made for a conference between
representatives Of the northern
states and commissioners of agri-
culture of the southern states, from
which come the major demands
for legislation favoring oleomarg-
arine.
Back in st. Paul this week after
their initial conference were the
men who represented Minnesota,
Commissioner Of Agriculture r. A.
Trovatten, Deputy Commissioner
E. ]. Thye, w. r. Combs of the
dairy division of the University of
Minnesota and Paul Miller, direc-
tor of extension, University of
Minnesota.
Reporting to the governor, Com
missioner Trovatten said he point.
ed out to officials of the southern
states in their conference in Mem
phis that they were not opposing
manufacture Of oleomargarine, but
that they objected to a definition
permitting manufacturers to imi-
tate butter in all its essential quail
tiles by the addition of flavoring,
coloring and other ingredients.
1.-THE farmers have spent millions
for equipment to give the consum-
ing public dairy food products of
the highest standard" Commission
er Trovatten said. "They have
spent vast sums in informing the
public of the nutritive value of
butter and other dairy products.
They object to manufacturers be-
ing allowed through government
regulations to make product call
ed -oleomargarine and doctor it up
so that it appears like butter and
thus take over a market for pro-
duct that the farm people of this
country have spent years in de-
veloping."
It was brought out at the meet
ing in Memphis, Trovatten said,
that farmers received only $780,
600 for the cotton seed oil used In
the manufacture Of oleomargarine
in the year ending June 3Oth, 194l,
whereas the farm income for but
ter in ten cotton-growing states
alone was $33, 100000. Deputy Com
missioner Thye pointed out the
northern dairy farmer purchases
cotton seed feed oil in excess Of
SIT ,0000 900 a year.
Farmers even in the south thus
have a greater interest in welfare
of the dairy industry than In the
small sum obtained from manufac-
ture Of oleomargarine, the Mime
sofa representatives urged.
Representatives Of the southern
states expressed a desire for an
other meeting, with wider attend
ance, to consider the problem. The
Minnesota representatives are
hopeful some adjustment Of the
controversy can be obtained that
will prevent injury to the dairy in
dustry.

official said.
The office of agricultural defense
