CHICAGO, April A club of girls who ban all gossip at their meetings. Instead they knit sweaters and discuss such subjects as Russian history, Greek churches or the "sociological background of literature." The girls aren't school teachers, either. They're Chicago debutantes who have formed a literary club with the single rule that their sessions shall not lapse into chatter about themselves or their friends. The seriousness of their undertaking has surprised the girls themselves, not to mention their parents. Report on Research.

At each meeting two or three members report on a bit of special research, which may range from such a topic as "The Origin of the Soviet" to some historical resume about the classics. Every freedom of choice in research is allowed. Because they find they can listen most attentively when their fingers are busy, the girls are knitting sweaters for themselves. And they attribute their ambitious endeavors to their lone dictum agreed upon at their first meeting that there shall be no gossip In this club.

New diagonals that fashion is wild over. Tailored with those clean smart lines that Kenmoor stopped the reporter near the Federal building with, "Lord, but I hate to ask ya for this, buddy." The reporter gave again, being mindful not to dip too deeply into his carfare money, however. Blames System of Living. "I'll tell you why that idea of popping some one and running off with his money comes to you and your friends," he said when the reason for the question had been explained. "It's because of the system under which we live.

That's the way everybody who's making a living is making it, grabbing it away from some one else. And the guy who grabs away the most is, like as not, the guy everybody honors and respects. No wonder there's misery for some of us and a sofa cushion life" a wave of his hand indicated the stream of automobiles passing on Meridian street, many of them large, many of thera gleaming under the street lights in their newness "for others of us. "You read a lot in the papers about all the mistakes these Roosians is making, but they may be on the right track, at that. This is civilization, you know, so people can't just line up and shoot all the stiffs that're out of jobs, and they'll try to do something about it themselves.

There will he something done about all this. "I'm getting by and I'll continue to get by until the hard times is over, and I don't think I'll have to turn crook for a while yet. Well, many thanks to ya, buddy, and God bless yer." The reporter walked on, jingling the remainder of a pocketful of small coins and wondering if the philosophy of the unfortunate trio would be adopted by those who believe they would not accept the situation with resignation if their fortunes were to change.

PERMANENT WAVES 'SSVPSP $7.50 OIL All the cuiis you ned. 0 QC Only new sachets used. and Lemur Waves, M.Offl by Mr, Kandolph I'pon Request Ugly Fat In 12 Weeks Without Harmful Dieting or Drugs Asking three down-and-out men at random recently, "Why don't you knock somebody over and take away from them tie money you need?" a reporter for The Star was astonished at the thoughtfulness of the answers received. The question was based on a remark which has become commonplace among people who are gainfully employed and who fear that a turn of fortune's wheel may oust them from all remuneration. "Believe me, I wouldn't let my family starve, nor starve myself, if I lost my job," is a remark made in endless variations when men think of the consequence of joblessness in a year when jobs are scarce.

"I'd get me a club or a gun and go out and get the money for groceries." But those who actually are pri vates in the rear rank of the army I of the unemployed or some of ujm, ai least ininK uiuereiiuy. Youth Fear Law. The reporter put his question to a shivering young man who approached hiin on Massachusetts avenue the other night. Tt was cold and the youth, who said he was working his way eastward from Arkansas, confessed the bitter wpather affected him keenly. The reporter gave him a coin and asked him if the thought of holding up people had occurred to him.

"I'd never do it," the youth said. "There's a lot of fellows just like I me. If we went around knocking people off for their small change I what would happen? Why. instead of the law "law," it turned out, is the youth's term which covers not only legal processes, but policemen and entire police departments! giving us a hand for a. bed or a.

meal, they'd be hunting us like farmers hunt wolven. Nope, we're a lot better off picking up what little we can here and there on people's kindness. Helped In Terre Haute. "The law helped me out in Terre Haute the other day. I decided I was starving, and I went into a little restaurant and ate a meal.

Then I told the man I didn't have no money, but. I'd work it off. He got hostile and called the law. Well, the law came and he said I done the best I could. So the eating house man changed his mind finally and I went down the street with the law.

He didn't slate me nor nothing, but fixed me up for a bed at a flophouse that night. "A feller can keep on going thata-way. Times'U get bettor before long, anyhow, and I reckon we can wait for that." An older man who overtook the reporter on South Illinois street near the I'nion station later in the night and requested alms expresHcd the I same optimism as the youth from Arkansas. "This state of affairs can't last forever. A man can worry along somehow for quite awhile, and then maybe the high mucky-mucks will have some way out of the mess figured out," he said.

ill Feel Better Later. "Yes, I've had the temptation come over me to hit some one on the. head some dark night and take his wallet away from him. But I've never come to it yet. He's never done anything to me, and then msyhe he's needing the coupla dollars I might lift off him for his folks or something far worse than I'd be needing the price of a bed and some meals.

So I've steered sway from thru soit of thing. Make me feel brtler when I do get back on my feet, ton, that I didn't sink quite low enough to take an unfair advantage."
