Court Clears Georges
And Subsidiary Of
False Ad Charges

Georges Radio & Television,
Inc, and its subsidiary. the
Home Appliance Co., were ac-
quilted yesterday Of false
and misleading advertising
charges by Municipal Court
Judge Thomas c. Scalley.
The United States Attorneys
Office, last fall, charged the ra-
dio and TV company and its
president. George Wasserman.
who lives in the 800 block Of
Ellicott street NV. with in
tent to defraud through an ad-
vertisement appearing in The
Star last August. The informa-
ton alleged that a full-page ad
was misleading because it Of
fered a nationally known TV set
for sale at half price and that
it said the company had pur-
chased a final carload of the
sets destined for Washington.
The second charge, against
the Home Appliance Co, con-
cerned an advertisement In the
Washington Daily News. last
April IA. offering new nationally
advertised wringer washing ma
chimes for 500.
|. Agent Tells Of Purchase. :.
Miss Blanche Rodman. $3.50
| Colorado avenue NV, testified
yesterday that, as an agent for
the Better Business Bureau, she
was sent to the company. 1923
H street NE. to purchase one
of the machines at the request
of a competitor, the former Phil
lips Radio & TV Co.
Defense Attorney Alvin L.
Newmyer. sr., brought out testi-
mony to the effect that an ad-
vertising man for Georges made
a mistake in drawing up the ad
to speak of a carload of TV sets.
Mr.. Newmyer pointed out to the
court that officials of the COM
pany were out Of the Office and
busy with negotiation for the
purchase Of the Phillips COM
pany stock and equipment dur
ing bankruptcy proceedings
when the advertising deadline
had to be met. The ad man,
Melvin Schultz, 5426 Eighth
street NE. testified he made a
mistake. The sets later were
sold for one-half price.
Inspection Delayed.
The defense then drew from
Miss Rodman testimony that,
although she purchased the
washing machine in April. an in
spector for the Better Business
Bureau did not look at it and
verify that it was not q new
machine until August.
Mr.. Newmyer, in his summary
for the defense, told the court
a company clerk made an hon.
est mistake when he accidentally
had delivered an old machine to
Miss Rodman. rather than a
new one in a factory carton.
Judge Scalley declared he felt
the advertisements we're neither
false nor misleading and that
reference to the carload lot of
TV sets was not material to the
! charges.

Walking in
Comfort IS

By Eleni

Walking shoes. A strange
term that seems even stranger
when you use 1t to describe shoes
that are comfortable, geared to
your favorite sportswear FASH
ions, and which imply the shoes
are meant to take you places.
You'd think that all shoes
would fall under that category.
Such isn't always the case. Pretty
shoes designed to capture glances
and meant to accompany equally
pretty clothes sometimes prove
the reverse. In complete defense,
the shoe industry is given to call
ing this group of shoes their
sitting pretty" types.
The shoe industry. however, is
alert to the fact that more and
more women are demanding
softer shoes, and shoes that are
closer to the ground for comfort
and walking ease.
Color in shoes for fall and
winter has reached the point
where IL is no longer big news
but an accepted fact. Fireman
reds, green's. russets, and other
FURNISHED autumn tones are
about for accenting your tweedy
type clothes.
Women know q good thing

tied mocassins the gentlemen

styles.

Why Grow OId2
Rules for
Home
Manicure
Bv Josephine Lowmon

I do not know whether there
are any statistics concerning the
comparative number Of women
who manicure their own nails
and those who have it done at q
beauty salon. I would guess that
by far the largest group gives
its own manicures. Therefore,
I would like to pass along q few
suggestions to help you.
1. It is q fine idea to have q
manicure given you in order to
start you of correctly. Once this
is done it is much easier. In
fact, professional manicure Pc
riodically is an aid.
2. Do not slant your nails too
sharply at the outer cornersl
Nails should not look narrowly
pointed, but oval. If you do file
them too sharply at the corners
II will cause them TO break more
easily.
Cuticle Oil
8. Do not cut the cuticle UNI
less it is absolutely necessary. II
this Is necessary it Is probably
because your cuticle Is dry. Mas
sage cuticle cream or oil around
the nails every night before go
ing to sleep. When giving your
self a manicure, apply oil to the
cuticle and then push it back
from the nail rather than cutting
1t. You will soon train it to re-
main back.
&. There is a cream polish re-
mover on the market which is
wonderful because it does not
get pink or red over the cuticie
when polish Is being removed.
5. Be sure the color Of your
polish matches or blends with
the color Of your lipstick. A
clash can be most unattractive.
There are some shades IN nail
polish which blend In with sew
eral different shades Of lipstick
Select your lipstick because 1t Is
fiattering to you and does not
clash with your clothes, and then
match your polish to your lip
stick.
Need Calcium?
Q. II your nails break or split
1t may be due TO lack Of cal
cium and vitamin d. Drink more
milk and take your sun baths.
Z. This is the most important
suggestion of all! Be sure moi
to neglect your manicure. You
hands are very much In evidences
and you cannot look dainty Of
alluring with poorly kept finger
nails.

The way she reacts to her hus-

lead to tiffs at home. Unhappy
home life can put a salesman in q
most unselling frame of mind.
In this competitive era, per-

They may train the salesman
carefully. yet undo it by failing

comment by the salesmen's wives

AWord to the Wise

E. w. D., of Duluth, wants the
origin Of the word SALVO, mean
ing "a volley of cannon fire."
This word has a curious origin
indeed. It is the English form
of the Italian saliva, meaning "a
salute" The Italian word came
from the Latin salve. meaning
"Hailr-a greeting of friendship
and well-wishing, form salvere,
ito be we'll"
However, when our warships
hurl SalvoS in the direction of
our cold war Friends" we can
be sure that they have something
else in mind than playing pat-a-
cake with them, or toaSting their
health.

Famous Fables

INSTRUMENTS - Com
poser George Antheil's Bal
let Mecanique" was played
for the first time to an
American audience in 1927
in New York City. A num-
ber of unconventional Or
chestra instruments were
employed, including bells. a
wind machine-and a fire
siren.
It took some looking to
find a siren, but one was
finally delivered just before
the concert. With Antheil
himself playing one of the
II pianos, everything pro-
ceeded smoothly, until the
time came for the siren be-
fore the final passage.
The man in charge of the
siren turned the crank, but
no sound came forth. He
turned it again more and
more vigorously, but still vas
past, and he turned from
the instrument in disgust.
The orchestra completed
the score and Antheil and
the conductor stepped for
ward to receive the applause.
AS they did so, the siren sud-
denly began to make its
presence felt. Quickly it
gathered more and more
speed. It reached its full
force just as Anthell and the
conductor were taking their
bows. It drowned out every
other sound.
It had been overlooked
that a fire siren requires
almost q minute Of cranking
before 1t makes a sound!

from the Czech robota, work, "

Many commentators and news
casters, apparently not knowing
that robot is to be found in late
edition dictionaries. frequently
pronounce it like "rowboat," or,
believing the word to be French,
call it "roe-BOE." Neither is
correct. The 80" is long in the
first syllable, and obscured in the
second, thus: ROE-b't.
Robot means "a manufactured

Mr.. Dale opened the bidding
with one diamond, properly cas-
ing his hand as slightly too
strong for a no-trump opening.
Mr.. Masters made the obvious
response of one spade.
Mr.. Dale's next bid was two
no-trump-not an absolute force,
but a bid which is seldom passed.
It asked Mr.. Masters to go on If
he held as much as two kings or
the equivalent.
Now Mr.. Masters sensed the
possibility of slam as his own
hand was about the equivalent of
an opening bid. He wasn't will
ing to jump straight to six and
he cast about for some way to
find out more about his partners
holding. He came up with a bid
Of three diamonds.
Mr.. Dale could not possibly
read this as anything but a 60
ahead bid. The reason was that
if Mr.. Masters had diamond sup
port and a weak hand. he would
have bid two diamonds on the
first round. Since he had not
done so, but instead had been
willing to bid spades and then
apparently raise diamonds, he
must have pretty fair hand.
Mr.. Dale showed his good
spade support and from there
the bidding progressed swiftly
to a slam.
Mr.. Masters was fortunate
enough to get the jack of clubs
opening and he won with the
king. His problem was to do
something about his two heart
losers and the key lay in the
diamond suit.
He could cash the king Of dia-
mondS, then flneSse the jack. Or
he could cash the king and ace,
then ruff third round, hoping
the queen would drop.
However, with the club lead he
had time to make a play which
improved his chances to about
4-to-1 in favor of success. After
taking three rounds of trumps,
he led a small diamond from
dummy and finessed the nine
when Mrs. Keen played low.
This play would win if Mrs.
Keen had the ten or if either
defender held the queen, guarded
not more than twice. When the
nine won, Mr.. Masters took all
the tricks as he was able to get
rid of both of his losing hearts
on dummy'S ace and jack of
diamonds.
