The girl, who hails from Fargo, is Virginia Briggs, soon to be known professionally as Virginia Bruce. William Beaudine, noted director, has placed Miss Briggs under a five-year contract and hopes to de- velop her for stardom in the not too distant future. It was Mrs. Beau- dine who “discovered” Virginia. Calling at the director’s house with her aunt, Mrs. Harriet Miller, on business, Miss Briggs so impressed Mrs. Beaudine that she told her hus- band about the blonde youngster. That the director was alsé impressed is evidenced by the recent announce- ment that he has contracted to pay Virginia more than $60,000 over a ericd of five years providing she lives up to expectations. Accompanied by her parents, Miss Briggs came to Hollywood last Sep- tember to follow a musical career. She is a talented singer and pianist and did not think of entering the movies when she left her home in Fargo. Virginia was not “movie crazy” and would not have sought a place in pictures, she declares. How- ever, now that she is assured of an opportunity on the screen and since her tests have proved satisfactory, ( Bismarck Man Held | by Western Police Faces Charge Here) Oliver Copenhaver, Bismarck, who | faces a statutory charge.in Burleigh county, has "been arrested in Gresh- am, Ore., and is being held for local officials.

Alderman, has come to their defense. Following publication of a letter by the Rev. David Hepburn, super- intendent of the Virginia Anti-saloon League, to Governor Byrd, of Vir- ginia, in which he said that reports; indicated that drinking at the school! amounted to a state wide scandal, Dr. Alderman replied that liquor consumption at Virginia was no greater than at other similar insti- tutions. He also declared emphatic- ally that in no sense was it entitled to be characterized as a state. wide scandal, D. Hepburn called upon Governor ; Byrd to permit federal prohibition agents as uninterrupted access to the university grounds fraternity houses and student body as bootleg- ers are now reported to have. He explained that the purpose of the agents would not be to punish drink- ing professors or students but to protect them from bootleggers. CURTIS THANKS ROBINSON?

D., Dec, 4,—(P)—Joe | Gorneau is through as a trapper. One of the last of the army of hardy adventurers who once made North Dakota their stamping grounds, Gorneau made his living with trap and rifle until a few weeks ago. Then an accident cost him his right arm and what he Will do to carn a livelihood after he recovers is uncertain. But Gorneau is not worrying. He has been in tight places before and somehow he always | has managed to pull through, | The old trapper was born about 1850 near Red Lake, Minn., which makes him about 78 years old, and all his life he has earned his living by hunting and trapping. When this part of North Dakota was opened up for settlement he felt he was too old to learn the ways of a farmer. Advancing civilization drove him into the wilds of the Turtle mountains where he has trapped and hunted for the last 20 years or 50. His age sat lightly upon him and he thought nothing of shouldering his pack for a three day trip along his trap line but it was one of these trips which brought him to grief. On November 18, after spending a week at Coulee L’Isle Cache, he started off with a pack horse on . another trip. His gun accidentally slipped from his grasp and was dis- charged as it struck the ground. The | St, charge blew his right arm off at the elbow. Alone he made his way to St. Johns despite the loss of blood. He was given first-aid treatment and brought to the hospital here where he is slowly recovering. He tamps his pipe with his left hand as he lies in bed and smokes. There is no! complaint of tough luck and no ap- parent fear of the future. The same hardy spirit which brought. him to the frontier and which kept him a frontiersman at heart despite the advance of civilization apparently is unimpaired.

That is the price the late John M.

The Princess has been awarded the national gold medal es- tablished by the Queen. The artist friend who advised lovely Dorothy Cray, 254 West 12th ». New York City, to enter two re- cent beauty contests, is probably saying, “I to:d you so.” She won both of them and a movie engage- ment into the bargain! Too bad, pictures can’t show the loveliness of her skin and the graming beauty of her dark brown hair, points which, the judges say, swayed their de- cision. ’ “When I consider how people ad- mire my hair now and how different it was not long ago,” says Miss Cray, “I can’t help telling about it, Dandruff had nearly ruined my hair. It had gotten stringy, dull, and was falling out. My scalp was terribly uncomfortable. Then a friend me started on this method of caring for the hair which is all the rage among New York girls.
