The latter plan would be more economical and garbage service would be improved at a lower cost because of the eradication of political patronage, according to the council faction headed by Councilman Charles Scott, Jan. I Is leadline Scott and Councllmen Edward Glegg, Garland Fowler and Daniel Bicker, three members of the council street and alley committee, and a committee from the Hammond League of Women Voters, which has crusaded for improved garbage service, will diacus garbage disposal ways and means with the sanitary commissioners. A garbage removal and dipoaal plan will have to be adopted by tha sanitary board by Jan. 1.

The board's president, Joe Haney. atated: "Wa will receive information at tha meeting which I am sure will aid tha board in determining the most beneficial plan. We only recently assumed the garbage collection responsibility and want to aound out opinion on how to proceed in tha project."

20. (INS SUing a record for Hollywood, Merle Obcron and Laurence Olivier have just computed a dramatic cene lastieg three minutes and 13 second. It's the scene which wij prove the turning point In the dramatic story of Samuel Goldwyn's "Wuthrring Heights" usual Ions seen in the movies rarely exceeds a minute aad a half. That's due partly because the public is likely to get bored at too much of the same thing at the same time and partly because actors and actresses are subject to the usual human failings. The camera is admittedly the mot crit- ical audience to which vou can Inlay, It is merciless and unrelent- ins- iekin out flaws which would escape notice on the stsge.

It magnifies any gestore. It is terrifying at first even to the most seasoned stage players. When scenes get overlong. actors and actresses blow up. They garble lines.

They bake under lights pushed around for special effects. As a rule the only time scenes run longer than a minute and a half are in the spectacles, where they are filming storms and fires and whatnot, such as in Goldwyn's "Hurricane" and Twentieth Century-Fox's "in Old Chicago" and "Sues." Even these scenes rarely run more than two minutes. Love scenes generally are the shortest of all, and kisses may last no more than a second on the screen. The industry's committee on morals is only incidental to this situation. What stops a screen kiss in the middle, so to speak, is the tendency of women to laugh if they run too long a laugh prompted by embarrassment.

The audience seems to feel it has been caught peeking. As a matter of record, the most torrid kiss ever recorded on the screen required 40 seconds for the whole scene. The late Rudolph Valentino was the man. Sherman Todd, Goldwyns film editor, points out that today a kiss is merely a token, a punctuation mark in the screen story. Its not the rip, snortin' thing it was In the early days of the screen.

To day those kind of kisses would just amuse audiences genuinely, not from embarrassment.

For the first time today the i world knows Marshal Foch's an-Iswer to that oft -asked question. Of late, many international political observers have insisted that the Allies should have crossed the Rhine, consumated the final disaster of the enemy, and forced the treaty of peace at Berlin, If this had been done, they point out, the democracies ef today would not be threatened with the growing power of Hitler's new Germany.

Foch's answer comes from Commandant Rene Michel LhopitaL former aide-de-camp of the late marshal, who has recently finished a volume on "Foeh, the Armistice and the Peace." In giving the answer of the leader of the Allied forces, Lhopi-tal declared that Foch accepted the Armistice because "it fulfilled all the objects for which the war waa being waged," and that the commander-in-chief did not want to prolong hostilities needlessly. Just before the signing of the Armistice on Nov. 11, 1918, it was common knowledge that Foch had arranged a huge drive in the Lor raine sector, designed to smash the enemy and force them 'to retreat on German soil. Quoting Marshal Foch en the futility of the drive into Germany. Lhopital wrote: "Since the beginning of taw Allied offensive, the German arny left in our hands 400,000 prisoners, 7,000 field guns and 40.000 machine guns.

Even those fashion-unconscious hoydens, the "Dead End" boys, called them "loony lids." Studio stylists, furthermore, avoided fan tastic chapeaux because they are generally unflattering to their wearers. Leah Barnes, Warner Bros, hat designer, designed nothing but classics for Kay Francis, 3ette Davis, Joan Blondell, and others during the silly hat season. Now her faith in becoming millinery is justified. It destined for mid winter return.

Miss Barnes counts as a classic a hat which offers a version suit able to any woman. In this group she lists off-the-face models, turbans, tailored and picture hats. Halo hats, berets, beanies, pillboxes and fezzes are leading off-the-face styles. All will be featured in the winter parade, but beanies may have a slight edge. Bette Davis, in fact, wears eight of them in "Dark According to Miss Barnes no hat frames the face so prettily as the turban it can be draped to suit any Individual.
