ACTRESS IN POLITICS. Seeks New Fields After Having ‘Won Success. Among the latest names to be added to the membership of the Actresses’ Council of the National Woman's Party is that of Gloria Swanson. renowned for her share in the frolicking Mack Sennett waves, aml later, her exotlc adornment of deMille's ' super-sumptuous domestic satires. It is difficult to imagine either of these two Glorias in politics. How- ever. it is quite possible that the woman behind both of these beauti- ful, but supremely artificial masks, may prove fully capable of stepping into the exhilarating atmosphere of politics and shine there also. _Undoubtedly this protege of famous Elinor Glyn ‘of the emerald eye is clever.

COLLEGE TRAINING GROWS. Women Attend Institutions in Greatly Increased Numbers. That women and girls in the Unit- ed States fully appreciate the ad- vantages of coilege training as men- tal equipment is shown by the fact that 15280 first degrees were con- fesved upon women in June, 1920, by oire colleges and universities. An ad- ¢itional number of 1.396 graduate de- #rees were given women. Although similar returns for 1921 lave not yet been received by the United States bureau of education for compilation, it is stated that the numbers are kpown to have increased materially during the past two years. It is not yet one hundred years that American women have been al- lowed to_take college courses. The world's first chartered college for women was fourMed in Macon, Ga., in 1836. At that time it was called the Georgia Female College. It is now known as the Wesleyan Female College and, in addition to the regu- lar courses leading to the degrees of A. B. and B. S, has a conservatory of music and a sub-college depart- ment. There were 500 students at- tending the college during the school year which closed in June. The first degrees conferred on women at this college wera given in 1840. Milady’s Hat. 1t glows with crimson from the bleeding rose; Tpon the brim a pearl has dropped a tear.

It is & huge, brassy Imita- tion of the delicate filigree gold set- ting so typical of oriental jewelry, and is set with several stones of gay colors—green, red and yellow being a favorite combination. There are usually three stones in the center row, which carry the height of the setting up to the’first joint of the finger, and several other smaller stones dot the setting in con- ventional design. Huge pictures of the stunning Rodolph looking coyly out at the prospective purchaser from under a turban crossing his right eve on the bias are hung over trays of these hideous rings around which the flappers swarm.

BY EDSON SMITH. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, August 7.—The feature of the industrial situation in New Eng- land fs that business Is so good in the face of so many adverse factors. Given a speedy settlement of the coal and railroad strikes, the feeling in this center is that autumn will wit- ness great commercial activity. Everything in New England depends on coal. There Is practically no an- thracite_coal in the dealers’ hands. Up to date thete has been enough bituminous to keep the wheels of in- dustry turning. but surplus supplie are virtually exhausted, and it is only a question of a week or two when some_curtailment of manufacturing will be necessary as a result of the fuel shortage. The sentiment among business men was overwhelmingly against Presi- dent Harding's plan to settle the railroad strike. President Hustis of the Boston and Maine railroad and President Pearson of the New llaven railroad system have been delu with letters from business organiza- tions and individuals, urging not to weaken on the seniority fs The Boston and Maine and_the I ton and Albany have been runmng their trains on schedule. There havi been more trains, late on ths New Haven, but no trains have been with- drawn. It is very difficult to get at the truth of the number of shopmen who are actually working, but certainly the railroads have been maintaining heavy gains, particularly since the rail presidents reéafirmed their_stand on seniority. The three hig New Eng- land roads have more than per cent of their normal forces at work. Despite the strike, carloadings are increasing. With a large-scale re- sumption of coal shipm is a question if the New Engl rai roads will have the rolling stock to handle the business. Realty Sales and Building Set New High Record in July BY LYNN C. SIMPSON.

Conditions on the whole, though, are favorable in the country. Building costs are mounting steadlly, with advances in the prices of nearly all materials. Wages show little tendency to drop, and_there is an actual shortage of workers in many places. While the rallroads claim that they have nearly all the mén they require in the shops, they continue to publish large ad- vertisements for all classes of work- ers. Weather Right for Cotton; Stops Trade for Merchant BY JAMES R. RECORD. Special Dispatch to The Star, FORT WORTH, August 7.—Weather conditions again are first in the thoughts of southwestern bankers, mer- chants, farmers and stockmen. It's getting too dry for the live stock grow- er. It's just right for the cotton man. It has stopped all business for the merchant. The banker is pleased or displeased, according to where he lives.
