A few familiar faci¢s here and there, but mighty few distinguish ed ones. Dropped inte Lindy’s and asked disconsolately, “Has everyone gone south?” “Not sotth,” they told me, “BEverybody's gone to the Haupt mann trial at Flemington. Some of 'em get qummy subpoenas that pass ‘em into the courthouse. Ac tresses and actors ang playwrights have been begging the newspapers to let them act as reporters for a day, Some of the newspapermen lend their passes to rriends for an hour eor two. And sofnetimes it's possitfle to buy a seat for a day from some native who has found a place in the spectators’ section.” | And so Flemington, by day, has been the place to look for Alex ander Woolcott, Clifton Webb, Gu thriec McClintic, Alfred Lunt and Fontanne, George S. Kaufman, Palline Lord, Hannah Williams, George Abbott, Vina Delmar, Phil lip Dunning and a lot of others . . . A society-reporting frieng of mine says she has spotted Mrs. George U. Harris, Mrs. Harvey Dow Gib son, the Richard Tucker, Frederick Moseleys, Mrs. Grenville Bates and the wvery elegant Mrs, William Goadby Leow in the courtroom.

Ghost Party The town.is still snickering over the hoax perpetrated on the social Mr. Jules Glaenzer. Somebody — and somebody with a profligate sense 'of humor — send telegrams‘ to a hundreq peogle, inviting them to a party at his house in honor of Barbara Hutton Mdivani. Neither ‘(Gilaenzer nor the Princess knew anything about it. And on the subject of extraordi nary parties, there was the Dream Ball given as a farewell to Salvador Dali, the Spanish surrealist paint er, All very cockeyed, and I don’t mean just intoxicated. Among the decorations was a carcass of beef on a white bier, and topped by a guitar and a pair of scissors. Ker mit Roosevelt was surmounted by a mask with three noses ang three eyes., Dali himself donned boiled shirts with an inset pane of glass behind which various strange ob jects were visible, Mrs. James For restal wore a wreath of mush rooms, a top piano and a lamb chop. And dozens more as surreal istically costumed. Some fun! Sketchy Story And that reminds me of a Bar ney Gallant reminiscence. A few evenings ago in his Miami Beach mnightery he recalled how, in 1921 at a party in Paris, some art stu dents stripped his costume of most of its modesty and called on one of their number to fill in the blank spaces on Mr. Gallant’s person with gilt paint. 'The artist who provided the retouching was a young man named Picasso, Barnvy didn't know it then, but he probably was worth a modest fortune as a Picasso ori ginal, In that year, too, he had an op portunity to buy a- coupie-of Picas so sketches for $25 each. “I don't want the pictures,” he told a plead ing friend. “Just slip him this ten spot if he's really starving to death, as you say.” In 1933 Peter Arno said to Bar ney Gallant: “If I can scrape up $2,000 I know where I can buy a couple of Picasso sketches — and also know where I can sell them for $6,000 within a week.” Gallant wasn't interesteq until he saw the sketches months later in a Fifth Avenue gallery. They were the ones he had refused to buy in 1921, 5 FRANCE'S AUTO KING IS DEPOSED Lavish But 111-Timed Spending During Depression Writes Failure for Citroen, Long Known as “Ford of Europe” By MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Staff Correspondent PARIS.—The Eiffel Tower once more is just the Eiffel Tower, and no longer a blazing. sky-sign by night, As the unigue advertise ment of France’s most famous au tomobile, it has ceased to exist— and has become again simply a a haunt of tourists and pigeons. The extinction of the big Citroen advertisements that recently turn ed the famous old tower intp a garish Christmas~tree is symbolic of the apparent collapse of the Citroen enterprise. It cost 10,090 francs a night—s6oo—to run that luminous billboard, and that was a lavish sum as advertising goes in France. The whole ¢itroen lay-out was lavish, The famous “croisieres,” those motor explorations through Persia, down through A fric a, across Asia, were stupendous stunts. The factories on the Quai de Javel were sumptuous. So were the Paris and Brussels expoesition palaces.” So was the brave ges ture, not many months ago, when Citroen scrapped his recent mod els and began building a new se ries of ultra-modern stock cars, aerodynamic, front-wheel driven, gadget-laden. So, indeed, was the man him self lavish in all ways—a famous figure at the races, the beaches, the casinos of ¥France. 20,000 On Dole Today, the 20,000 Citroen em-~ poyes in the Javel shops are laid off. “Temporarily,” it is stated. “Judicial liguidation” of the en-} terprise may put them back to: work again, in some part, some time, Meantime, they are on the dole, and hundreds of Citroen dealers are out on 4 limb. ! Picture the *“judicial liquidation” —which means receivership — of one of America's blggest plants for making popular-griced cars. The answer, transplated in French, shows the scope here of the Citro en calamity, There is talk of the men going back to work this month. There is talk of continuing produc tion under the receivership. There is talk of preserving the hig fac tory in western Paris on the Seine as an important industrial unit for French war purposes, Questions facing the Citroen liquidators and creditors are: How many men can actually count on new gnd continuous employment? How may cars can be put out a month, how much will thei: price rise or fall?' Guessed Wrong Citroen, as an industrialist, was like a great athlete who lacked— in the pinch -—— one vital quality. The quality was timing. He knew how to swing on the ball like a Babe Ruth in his prime. The trouble was, he swung too late— or too early. In boom times, the Citreen plant was turning out the. tidy number of 700 cars a day. With a humming plant, his tendency toward prodigality expressed it gelf in big expansive effort. He tried to compete in America, in England, in other lands outside France. He sent his cars through desert and jungle, over the Hima layas, across China, 'in big propa gandy tours. There was some thing very American in his ideas of spending money to make mon ey. Only—it was the wrong coun try and the wrong moment. Two vears ago, despite the world crigis which was beginning to af fect France so that his production had dropped to 400 cars a day, the big magnate made his greatest gasture. FHe junked his Quai de Javel factory and built a much ‘more splendid one, capable of FORD SALESMEN GET SPECIAL TRAINING COURSE B B h He & eeE. .am | »-5}5?:;.:\.':‘53‘ L S i # _— - — {RRRRN SR S -_jjjf;;::g:ig%;-{;;@:):y.“m S & Y& & eoo | ‘g«m T = i B B 5.:::-*::-"'-?:r:fz:‘-‘::‘,‘i:i::I\':f%:"-‘“»-.?i"sa:"& e aBSe T | ‘\\*“\%ix‘:\§§\s§% & Le e N b ~@¢§ CEEE GE e SRR R R SRR ST & * R R 0 iionnad < S s SSS *“t‘{y’{u\\g,” | & viofy Til e e oR e >§a“'*s;“ g T oSL e & P Beaan ! e “»%\H 5 .e R e i BC e 3?,, | i AT S L R 8 e B MRS S R PEERE A prey S o SIS 3 ,'m B 3 SR ee f % wf{p,,\\“ o 3 N eBT £ s g% 4 Sy 3R¥ g o ::,w.};-.\r‘;g@: 4 3 4 g¥soy 3&» o L) i ;%‘\ ‘x- %S;. 2 \:. it 2 :ﬁ‘é ;%{ I i = < g aa B e SRS L e s S SRR 3 GR.O 5 < FoBTB2 gSI esan S e ”*’ & od ) g's i ‘,&"; CitEa J%u.kﬁ, - .

Citroen guess ed wrong. If the famous “up turn” had been at hand angd if his big plant development had hap pened to catch the trend, he would be a Napoleon of finance today. Ihstead, a vear ago, he had to look for 800 million francs to keep run ning. “7" Was Unlucky Fven that didn’t dampen Citro en’s enthusiasm, and he put out his famous new “7”. Judging by appearances and equipment, the “7” was a sweet -and stylish little car. Tlts front wheels were powered, it braked on four wheels, had “knee” springs, and snappy air-streamed lines. Its clutch was a meat little lever on the dash board and the hand-brake was tucked away almost out of sight. The dash-board itself had enough trick indicators on it to fit a prima donna's Rolls. It had no running board, the spare tire was housed ag neaty as a watch crystal, it was supplied in tHe colors of the spec trum, and it pulled. : 1t pulled—but it couldn’t pull the Eiffel Tower, or the ‘“palais a’'>x position,” or the Citroen ecroiste res” afl the way from Senegal to the Gobi Desert, or the plunging Monsieur Citroen himself. All these things, these days in France, weére just too much for a little light car—even if it did have a chromium cigarette lighter on the dash and a three-way horn, MRS. CORRA HARRIS PASSES IN ATLANTA (Continued From Page One) license to preach in the Methodist church It was as his wife, Mrs. Harris gathered the material for her story o¢f the “Circuit Rider’s Wife.” Mr. Harris died in 1887 just when his wife was approach ing tke zenith of her literary ca reer. Mrg. Harris, author of more than o score of novels and many short stories, first had a work ap vear in pirnt in the Atlanta Con stituticn. A ilttle later, in 1899, she began to write for 3 national mag azine, The Indpeendent. For several years afterward, the writer met success with a series, “The Brasstown Valley Stories” which appeared in the American Magazine. ¥ “Through this special sales train ing course the public will be given a better understanding of the many new features of the Ford V-8,” said Mr. E. D. Bottom, manager of the Atlanta branch, Ford Motor Com pany. “The public must depend largely upon the salesmen’s state ments when purchasing an auto mobile, especially a new car,” he added, “and it is our intention that all Ford salesmen will be in a po sition to make authentic state ments about our products, based upon actual knowledge of Ford V-8 R e s R '5"7"%44”%{?26&#’ ‘glz’, 4 e e O :':""1L-.r,‘-:'.'1:‘:"f.5:»:1:'4v-:'5’-::4;/-""'/,2%'?};"~p',;.n.~ R BGs eS R s ] B R @fz R g A R W <y A S SAi R B n\_::‘-:gg::%::gg:jz;i'f-f oS i se s s s s?;%zz.s:{-’é;:f-,.’;iz::f.z~:;.;~;,;.;;,:-'*«’Z: Be s e R B SR e R Bz o 7 S R A s 3 As R R L e IRy o e S e s I e e e i 0 RS L S e e RSS Oy o 7 5 LS Ao R s B oo G R N e s s 5 A R e N e R R e R mﬂf}}:':':‘:;-;:;.::::‘::C::;::::i_:::j:::‘/v»;:-:‘:':'::: R e S b R bt W R R B R R s o s R B 2 o 1 e e e i e B e s o R R s R A A '-’__:';535:3%:5:’;;_45;',_.;:;:;:,:;:;:g;::_:g:;:iz:;:;: eo S s .%:~:§¢._:~:::;:;'.»:;:;1;';,:-:;:{.;:;,;:-,;.;,;._:,..jzg e R IS s .

More Plans For Military Ball At University February 22 Disclosed An arch of sabers formed- over those marching in the Grand March will feature the Military Ball to be given by the University R. O. T. C. advanceq students on February 02 Jasper Dorsey, Marietta, cadet colonel, has announced. : The selection of Bert Lown's orchestra to furnish music for this affair, the high spot of the winter social season at the University, was announced last week. ; This orchestra has been Hheard over both major radio networks, and has made many recordings. Lown gnd his organization have playved at many famous places, in< cluding the New Yecrk Biltmore hotel, ang the Cocoanut Grove of the Park Central hotel in the same city. During December, the group playved for several dances in At lanta and for the past few months it has been featured at the Meul bach hotel in Kansas City. The orchestra consists of 14 pieces and features Olive Palmer, torch singer, and Joe Fisher, mari tone, a recent L.own discovery. The leader of the orchestra is not only, well known for his conducting act ivities but has wrtten both words and music for many popular song hits, his latest being a new number, Man Who Brought Oliver Hardy to Athens in Old Days Visitor Here The days when Oliver Hardy, famed slapstick comedian of the screen, used to sing for Athenians in the old Lyric theater on Col lege avenue were recalled here yesterday by Frank W. Salley, who was' manager of the Lyric. Mr. Salley, an occasional visitor to Athens, was enjoying the company of several old [friends yesterday and talking about old times. The Lyric theater, when Mr. Salley was its manager—and trap drummer in the small orchestra as well, was located where the West ern Union office is now situated. Many vaudeville performers, who have since reached the heights on the radio, stage or screen, were brought to Athens by Mr. Salley twenty years ago. Among them was Hardy who sang in the Twen tieth Century gquartet, Clyde Hoo per, who later became a headline in Keith vaudeville, and Auriema who as Frances Renault is today one of the highest paid female im personators. 5y After leaving Athens, where he attended the University of Georgia.' and ran a theater on the side, Mr.‘ Salley began a career which has brought him today to the posi- College Fraternity Butlers Reorganize; Some Demand an Office Before Joining BY AL G. SMITH (Associated Press Staff Writer)' Negro fraternity eutlers have petitioned Clarke county superior court for a charter for a college fraternity—Sigma King, which has provided University of Georgia students with many amusing mo ments during its formative stages. Membership in the f{raternity is open to fraternity and sorority butlers and other Negroes with the University connections, but it isn't s 0 easy to join. Butlers of one well known fraternity and a ranking sorority won't be admitted “because their social standing will hurt the club.” In many instances, members of university fraternities have had to politic their butlers in, often pay ing initiaton fees ang dues out of chapter treasures, First organized back -in 1926,! Sigma King — king means “Thel Top” among the town’s Negroes and Sigma signifies its “Greek"‘ connections—broke up for a time after an argument over who should be treasurer. They've solved that problem now by electing Richard Saunders, veteran employee of a college soda emporium, as treasur er “as long as he desires.” Richard and Fred Gales, Sigma Nu butler and president of Sigma King, both have keys to the frat ernity’s strong box, which can’t be opened unless both are present. One Negro refused to join unless he got ‘an\office, so they created the -post of business manager for . Musical Program To Be Offered at . Young Harris at 8 A special musical program will be presented tonight at Young Harris church at 8 o'clock instead o 1 the regular evening service. : Congregational ginging, vocal solos, and numbers by the choir as well as special trio and quartet numbers will be preseited. Following the opening prelude, a bymn will be sung by the congre gation, after which the choir will sing the anthem: “Bless the Lord, O My Soul” by Wilson, which will be followed by prayer. Elmer Kirk will then sing a soio, and the Scripture lesson will” be read. The] Soil Erosion colored quartet will will next present a number, after which Mrs. Walton will give the origin of the hymn sung by thel congregation, ) Mrs. John Roberts. Mrs. Robert Hamilton and Rudolph Mitchell, will next sing a trio, “Holy is Thy Name” by Offenback, after which the choir will present the anthem, “Shepherg of Israel.” Rudolph ‘Mitchell will sing “Come Unto Me” as a solo, followed by a quartet - number: “Silently the ‘Shades of Evening” by Rubese, to iy 1T BT TN just published, called *Let's Settle Down.” The Lown orchestra also played for the Military Ball last year, Decorations for the ball are un der the supervision of Hubert B. Owens, asociate professor of Land scape architecture, who also had charge of decorations last year. He will be assisted Ly a committee se lected from the advance military students., Details of the proposed decorations have not yet been an nounced. Preceding the dance a, review of the cadet corps will be held on the polo fielg on the afternoon of Feb ruary 22, with sponsors of the unit being introduced at that time, Invitations have been issued tc many notables to attend the affair including Governor and Mrs. Eu gene Talmadge, General and Mrs Van Horn Mosley, ‘Adjutant Genera’ Lindley Camp and other officers of the governor’s staff. Members of the Press Institute, meeting in the Henry W.

Mr. Salley's home is in Atlanta. He is 3 na tive of Augusta. The Steinway ¥our, ‘a quartet which later was billed at the old iVaudette theater in ‘Ag§lanta for one hundred and five weeks, was organized in Athens, Mr. Salley said and sang for him at the old Lyric. This' quartet afterward wan national recognition. Al Bernard, who wrote the song, ‘“Margie” was one of the Lyric performers and is now a top-notcher on the radio Mr. Salley said. Local talent was used extensively by Mr. Salley in hig Lyric shows, and some of the local performers were unusually good, he said. In discussing Oliver Hardy, who is well known to movie-goers as partner in the Hardy-Laurel com edy team, Mr. Salley declared that contrary to the general impres cion Hardy did not attend the Universrey of Georgia. “He may have gone to a few classes with me, but he was not a regular stu dent.” ; him—and then provided him with an assistant in case another pros pective member should feel the same way about poining. | Sigma Alpha Epsilon's veteran butler, who served that fraternity's Georgia chapter when U. S, Sena tor Richard B. Russell, jr, and other notables were student mem bers, couldn’t join Sigma King be cause he was a geacon in the church and dancing, a big part of the, fra ternity program, is taboo to a dea con, S 0 he had his nephew chosen in his stead. Sigma King dances are big events among Athens Negroes.

H. B. Hodgson, inspe-- tor of the health department, 5, nounced Saturday. During the last two months sey. eral cases of vrabies have beey, reported from the surroundin r country area. Some of thes cases were found to have POSitive ly had rabies as results of lahg ratory tests. Since March is the regular time ‘or the annual wvaccination and since several cases have been pe.- ported in the county, some of which \\'ol'e'just outside the city limits, Dr. Hodgson urges :xil owners and keepers to take their dogs immediately to a veterinayr an and have them vaccinated. This will afford protection much sooner than waiting until a later late. For this reason the Health de rartment reduces the dog license rom now until March 31st, to 50 -ents each. These tags are in the aands of the wveterinarians ang ‘an be obtained at the time you vaccinate your dog, or you may ybtain your license at the Health lepartment office in the city haln vhen you present a certificate :howing your dog has been vac ‘inated since January Ist, 1935, \ll dogs over eight months of age aust be vaccinated. The cost of the vaccination and he 1935 dog license tag is $1.50 or each dog, until April 1. After \pril 1, the city dog license tax , nereases to the regular price. . Decision on Gold Cases Will Not Be Made by Court on Monday (Continued From Page One) to the expectation of a Mongay decision. A short statement by Chief Justice Hughes last Satur day abruptly provided the anti climax. z While the court was meeting to day, Atorney General Cummings spent two hours with President Roosevelt going over the plans which have been drawn up for im mediate action in the event that the decision goes against the gov ernment. Informed of the court’s further delay, he declineq to com ment. The government's plans for act jon, if necessary, were ready a week ago, the product of many hours consultation between treasury, jus tice departmnt and reconstruction finance corporation experts. The government, it has been made clear is ready for any eventuality the opinion may produce. / Although Cropley’s half-laughing answer to questions on the possi bility of a verdict on Tuesday was hardly taken as an indication of what is in prospect, the chance remained that the announcement might come any day next week af ter Monday. Ample Precedent There is ample precedent for such a course, should the tribunal decide to follow it. The second anti-climax dispelled for a momeént the aura of specula tion that has attended the court since the gold cases were argued. But only for a momegnt. Then the guesses as to what had hap pened were resumed, In usually well informed circles the delay in handling down an opinion was at tributeq to the slowness with which the dissenters—whichever side they represented—were preparing their disagreeing views, ¢ The court will be in session all next week and will meet on Mon day, February 18, to deliver opin jons before taking a two weeks recess. The general belief was that the tribunal—knowing the uncertainty in the financial world the delay is causing—would endeavor to hand down the decision of February 18.
