COMSTOCK ENGAGED T0 FLORIDA DANCER One-Time Fiance of Peggy Joyce Tells of Rapid Courtship at Night Club. By the Aseociated Pres MIAMI BEACH, , January 15.— Stanley E. Comstock, one-time flance of Peggy Hopkins Joyce, yesterday confirmed reports of his engagement and forthcoming marriage to Connie Almy, 21-year-old night club dancer and former vaudeville star. Comstock, formerly general sales- manager of a Detroit automoblle firm and later a successful Miami real es- tate operator, was listed by Miss Joyce here last Spring as her fifth husband- to-be, but she soon afterward termi- nated this engagement. Dufing the past few weeks Com- stock has received considerable atten- tion through a sult pending in a local court, brought by Mrs. Evelyn Cady of Chicago, his former wife, who charges him with obtaining a divorce from her through fraudulent state- ments. “I am madly in love with Miss Almy,” Comstock declared at a hotel here. “I met her at a club here early Thursday morning, proposed on the spot and was accepted,” Miss Almy, late danseuse of the Century Roof in New York, also con- firmed the report. “It’s true, although I can scarcely believe it isn’t a dream. I am as much in love with Stan as he is with me. We are going to be married,” she asserted. i G A FARM LABOR PROBLEM OF FRENCH “MARKET” Lure of City Beckons to Servant Girls—Men Also at Pre- mium. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 15.—The tradi- tional farm servant “market” held at St. Etlenne and other agricultural centers shows the drift to the city. Few servant girls attended the “mar- kets” this year end. Their dream- eyes may not be lifted so high as the mov s, but they long for comfort and company. The men, also, are at a premium. Each year farm lapor becomes a greater problem. Tho wage scale for the coming year is from 3,000 to 6,000 'DOLLS USED TO TEACH GIRLS LATEST METHODS OF BABY CARE Sometimes Re;il Infants Are Available in| Educational Courses—Rural ' Mothers Helped. Dolls dolls and ting from the nursery the the schoolroom little people of the counter have become most important »bjects of practical training of little girls in the problems of life, from caring for their own little bhrothers and sisters when mother is husy to wdministering families of their own in later lif This work was described by Agnes Hanna, director of the service division of the Bureau, at the annual maternity a infancy conference which ended here Thursday with representatives pres- ent from 40 States. Schoolgirls in the seventh to ninth grades in many Miss Hanna said, are being nstruction in the care of babies as a part of their regular school work. In most cases dolls are used for models. Real Babies Are Used. Sometimes, where mothers have co-operated to that extent, the dolls have been replaced by real live babies. The girls are taught to dress these miniature persons, to bathe them and to plan their daily sched- ules of sleeping, eating and playtime. They learn first aid and simple care of the sick baby. The girls in these Miss Hanna said, arve still dolis e et wax to ne Miss social classes, oung enough to have a lively inter- | est in dolls and the enthusiasm they develop spills over into their own homes and the homes of their neighbors. Many real advances in the prog- ss of child welfare work were ported at the conference.

In these districts, it was report- ed, the rural doctor is under such a pressure of work that it is impossible for him to go away for up-to-date in- struction and it must be brought to his door if the mothers are to benefit by the developments of science. One of the most notable pleces. of work in this line, it was brought out, was the flve-year campaign of {tiner- ant _conferences in the rural districts of Wisconsin. A car was fitted with tables, scales, running hot and cold water and its own heating and light- ing system. In the five years it made 24,000 examinations and had pene- | trated to the country cross roads and the smallest villages. At each: place it _stopped for one or two days and tried to get all the mothers in the neighborhood to come for demonstra- tions. * As a result, public interest has been aroused to such an extent that the majority of the individual communities have requested a perma- nent service. Throughout the country during the past year, it was reported, 20,155 pre- natal and child health conferences were held, at which 10,654 mothers and 169,244 children were examined by physicians. Nurses held 6,407 conferen o « t —_—_—m—mmMm™®Smo™_m——_——€$S<—<€<——<€<em<mYA—Am—A—A—A—AYAY—Y—A——— REFUSES TO CURTAIL U. S. FILMS IN GERMANY Government Against More Drastic Restrictions in Importation—>54 Per Cent Shown Are American. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, January 15.—The German government has refused to sanction more drastic restrictions against the importation of American films, despite numerous petitions from producing and distributing companies having no agreement with United States concerns. ‘The ministry of commerce has an- nounced that this year, as last, one American film may be shown in Germany for every one produced at home. In effe however, the con- tinuance of the old regulations will mean that as in 1926, about 54 per cent of the films sho in Germany may be American, and only 34 per cent German, the remainder coming from other countries. One reason for the preponderence of American films is that producing companies with American connectiols make a con- siderable number, of pictures which are never intended for public showing. They are filmed merely to comply with the law and enable the com- panies to fmport American films.

Many lives of men of many nations have been plastered on Amapala, layer upon_layer. “Who would not like to know more of Don Carlos Dardano, to whom Amapala owes its present place in the world? Don Carlos was not a descendant of the Conquistadores. He was an enterprising Itallan merchant. His urging prompted Honduras to de- clare Amapala. a free port. His was the plan to offer a certain quanti of land to every settler coming to the island. Don_Carlos worked the bel- lows that inflated the fishing village to a port rivaling Salvador's nearby port, La Union. But at the time the English captured the place the Italian merchant was weak enough to accept office as ‘superintendent of the Island of Tigre.” Of course, when Honduras regained supremacy, the father of Amapala fled to exile. “The visitor to Amapala would like to know more than he sees of German penetration in Honduras before the World War.
