trict, 38,998 homes used oil out of

count for two-thirds of the homes

poses ranges from 45.8 in Rhode Is

Charge Is Slated
To Insure Return
|Of Coat Hangers

A reasonable charge" Of from
] to 5 cents, may be charged by
dry cleaners and launderers to in
sure return of wire coat hangers,
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
said today. He felt the deposit re-
quirement would encourage Gus
toners to return the coat hangers,
which no longer are made in order
to conserve steel.
Inquiry among leading cleaning
establishments here elected the re-
sponse that while no deposit has
been charged up to this time, a
charge would tend to ease the coat
hanger shortage by conserving ex-
isting supplies.
Some cleaners said they were Of
fering to buy back wire hangers
owned by customers, but with little
success. The prewar price Of wire
hangers was about 1a-cent each
Some laundries have resorted to
paper board hangers as a substitute.

HOLLYWOOD, vi a y IL -
There is erai agreement
around Movietown that models
are not likely to become very
good actresses, but most OF the
studios go right on hiring them
because they're so decorative.
This brings us to a lovely and
recent RKO acquisition named
Sally Wadsworth.
Miss Wadsworth is a ] o
blond whose principal achieve
ment was winning the title Of
Miss High School by posing in
a bathing suit.
There may be some question
about her natural hisrionic tall
ent, but admirers On the lot
point out that Sally is ambitious
and willing to take direction -
although just now she is IN
clined TO take i a bit too lit
orally. For instance, Miss Wads-

worth took part in an RKO Lit
tie Theater play recently and
was invited by the coach TO m
vent some bit Of business which
might serve to attract attention
and thus build up her meager
role. The newcomer responded
while crossing he stage in front
of the leading man by giving
that startled actor vicious KICK
in the shins.
SHE SLAPS
The other day Miss Wads-
worth was one of the guests on
Jane Withers' street car party, a
novel affair arranged for a pic
ture magazine. A ST. eet car was
chartered and the "oung folks
picked up three soldiers.
Welcoming this patriotic IN
terlude, the boss photographer
chose Sally Wadsworth and two
other cuties and instructed
them: when we get TO the sta
ton and the soldiers start to
get off. each of YOU grab a man
and give him a 5ruack on the
cheek, and I'll get shot OF 1t.
When the moment Of leave
taking came, and inc other TWO
girls were delivering suitably
chaste but cordial kisses to their
soldiers, Miss Wadsworth haul
ed off and slapped her man.
