HOLLYWOOD, Calif, March 20—If you've envied movie stars in their hours of power and adulation, listen to this story: ‘Today @Gary Cooper made & personal appearance and autographed coples of his latest movie in book form at a downtown.department store. ‘The store almost had to call out the reserves to get sufficient room on the floor, which is about a block square, to transact any business whatsoever. They gave the handsome star from Montana & desk, with his back to the wall, and had aids to marshal the crowds. Some came to stare, and stare they did, in spite of the pleas, orders and near-bludgeonings of those above- mentioned aids. Most of the fans determined that they would get in a nonchalant remark or two while the autograph was being written. There was a strange blending of amusement and embarrassment on Gary Cooper’s face. To his ears came such phrases as “Gee, ain't he swell. He ain't so thin as he looks in movies, though.” Or “Whajja think I am—a traffick officer, that I kin stand here all day waitin’ to get to him? I know yer gag. Ya've sold me the book. Now I kin wait and run my chances to get the signature, eh? Well, I'm gonna get it if it takes all night, if it's nothing more than to spite ya."

BY THE COUNSELLOR. | | | | | ‘The Federal bankruptcy act gives a | preference to claims for salary du:| workmen, clerks or servants. These will be paid before claims of general credit- | ors are allowed. What “workmen, clerks or servants” are included in the act as being preferred is frequently the subject of dispute. In the follow- ing cases the courts held that the act did not include certain *‘workmen, clerks or servants,” who endeavor to have their claims paid first: 1. A radio engineer and designer who supervised the manufacture of radio sets and also designed them, is not a | rkman or servant within the mean- ! ing of the provision giving a preference. 2. A president of a corporation who incidentally did other work for the company. 3. The salary of a general manager of a corporation is not considered as the wages of a clerk, workman or ser- vant 4. The editor of a newspaper is not a “servant” as that word is used in the preference section, 5. The superintendent of a factory whose duties were chiefly supervisory; the treasurer of a company and the secretary of a company whose duties were confined principally to those of a general manager and superintendent, were also denied preference for sala- ries due them in these capacities. ‘The Counsellor: “Workmen, clerks or servants, to be entitled to a preference under the bank- ruptey act, are those who have served the bankrupt in a subordinate or me- nial capacity and who are supposed to be dependent upon their earnings for their present support.” Motor cycles with the package deliv- ery unit in front of the driver, instead of in the side car, have appeared in{ Germany.

For if she would only make her husband a quiet and | peaceful home to live in and surround him with an atmosphere in which his genius could flourish; if she would belicve in him and encourage him and buck You can't lose out. We Why, if she would do these things her husband would be able to make the money she sport to say when failure threatened: *“Don't worry. P HEN 1 look at this woman who is killing her husband's chances of success I | cannot but contrast her with another wife I know, whose husband is one of our most distinguished writers. She stands between him and every sordid detail of life from which she can shield him. She once told me that if the house were on fire she would not permit him to be disturbed until the flames were within three feet of his study door and she also said that when they were sitting together of an evening in their living room or motoring or walking she never addressed him first. She always waited for him to speak. because she was afraid that she would interrupt some train of thought in which he might be working out the plot for a new story, or delving into the psychology of some character he was creating. | I often wonder that wives so seldom realize the vital part they play in their husbands’ careers and how completely they hold its success or failure in their hands. The average woman's idea of helping her husband consists in merely penny-pinching, which is well enough as far as it goes, for it takes a man with the financial genius of Mr. Ford or Mr. Rockefeller to get ahead of a wasteful and extravagant wife, but there are ways in which she can forward his career that are far more potent than haggling over butchers’ meat and haunting bargain counters. One of these is in making & husband happy and keeping him contented. Few wives ever think that domestic harmony has a price tag on it, but it has. Not long ago a firm which hires thousands of men made a survey of the home life of its employes and it found that the men who were forging ahead, who did the best work and who were full of energy and enterprise were, almost without exception, men who were in love with their wives and who came from cheerful homes. NOR is this hard to understand. A man who has had a breakfast table fight with his wife goes to his work with his heart surcharged with bitterness and his mind in a turmoil of angry thoughts. For the time being he is & pessimist who believes in nothing and he is ready to turn down any proposition that may be brought before him, and to scrap with anybody, from the boss to the best customer. Not only is he incapable of clear thinking, but he asks him- self as to the use of working his head off for a woman who doesn't appreciate anything he does for her, anyway. , There is no quicker way for a woman to slow her husband down than to bawl him out. On the contrary, many & man of mediocre ability is turned into a go- getter by his desire to make good and justify his wife's bellef in him. If Mary thinks he can do it, well, by George, he can do it. Very often after having been successful for years a man meets & sudden check in midcareer. His business goes to pot. He loses his job through a change in the firm. A new style comes in writing or illustrating or whatnot. Then his wife determines his future. If she begins o croak fallure; if she wet-blankets his every plan; if she losses faith in him and accepts defeat, then he is done for because she slays his belief in himself. But if she has faith in him and fosters his faith in himself; it she makes light of their disaster as a temporary misfortune; if she keeps telling him that he succeeded once and that he can succeed again, then he al- ROTHY DIX. most invariably comes back.

At this scason of the year many | girls and women are weighing in_their | minds th advantages and disad- | vanteges of having permanent waves }I‘yll[ into their hair before vacation time |Tolls around again. Many questions ing this method of curling the | ® coming to me mow, and I |am going to try to answer some of | them toda | In the firs | place, there are two gen- | eral types of permanent wave, namely, the dry borax wave and the steam wave. In the Jatter ammonia is used to soften the hair and shorten the heating time. The use of oil in a per- manent wave is not a third method. The oil that is present is not what makes the hair curl, but it appeals to customers who think that so-called oil waves will keep the hair from becoming dry after a permanent. ‘There is no doubt that a successful permanent wave is a great comfort, especially in wet or warm weather. There are many clever people working on the problem of how to produce a permanent wave that will not harm any type of hair in any way; this, however, is an ideal yet to be realized. When the hair is elastic, healthy and rather oily, it will suffer less from per- manent waving than when it is dry, brittle and of poor quality. A good way to test tthe elasticity of the hair is to stretch it. Take a single hair, give it & turn about the index finger of each hand and pull the fingers apart. If the hair can be stretched about an inch it may be considered elastic and should take a good wawr.

Hair that has been bleached, dyed or marcelled too often cannot stand this test. | In spite of the drawbacks attendant |upon having the hair permanently | waved, often there are advantages in improved personal appearance that out- weigh them. Even if the hair should become dull, brittle and fuzzy after & | permanent (which it should not do), can be dressed becomingly if it is | water-waved, and brilllantine will give | | it luster. A fluffy colffure is often more becoming than a stralght one, and when this is the case milady may feel justified in choosing the former, even ‘at the price of having her hair become drier and less healthy, A permanent wave put into heaithy hair of the 'right texture will give | beautiful results.
