Six months ago it was the vogue to have one's press agent broadcast that his client was really a countess who had hidden her distinguished title and past so that she might "make her own way in the films." A year ago the thing to do was to separate from one's husband by way of a "marital vacation." Some WORKERS CALM AS FIRE RAGES NEAR FACTORY With a fire raging in two frame dwellings only fifty feet away, more than 800 employes of the General Cigar Company, South Second street, Steelton, maintained the utmost calmness while the Steelton fire department fought and extinguished the blaze. Officials of the cigar company said that the fire drills that are held xegularly by employes of the factory stood them in good stead today, inasmuch as was virtually no excitement' in the big factory building. Officials of the company watched the progress of the blaze in order to have the employes march out in case of necessity. The fire, which started at the rear of 554 South Second street, TWO INJURED IN CHAMBERS BURG GROSSING GRASH CHAMBERSBURG, April 17.

Leopold ftthuler, 19 years old, of Connellsville, and Benjamin Earl Hunt, 18 years old, of Union-town, wer seriously injured last night, when the automobile in which they were riding crashed into a freight train at the grade crossing of the Western Maryland Ra'lroad at the south end of town. Both are reported to be in fair condition this morning at the Chambersburg Hospital here. Schuler is suffering from cuts and abrasions of the head. It was first believed that his skull was fractured. Hunt suffered a fractured left arm and numerous cuts and abrasions.

Both men were found unconscious under the wreckage of the demolished car. Marks on the freight car showed that the front part of the automobile ran under the freight car and was then thrown back off the track. The Goodwill ambulance was called and the youths removed to the i EXPECT DECISION IN WILLIAMS' TRIAL MONDAY International News Service MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO, April 17. Final testimony was launched today at the court-martial of Col. Alexander Williams, distinguished Marine Corp3 officer, charged with drunkenness by Smedley D.

Butler. Maj. J. L. Doxey and Capt.

Frank Stockes, guests at the gin cocktail party, given at the colonel's home in honor of General Butler, were called for requestioning. Examination of the major and captain was expected to complete the testimony of both the prosecution and defense. Prior to questioning of the two officers the board announced adjournment would be taken at noon until Monday, when arguments of counsel are to be made. Colonel Williams was expected to learn his fate late Monday. As the sixth day of the trial opened, the board had before it new testimony of several officers that statements demanded by General Butler from the colonel' guests as to the accused officer's condition the night of March 6, were not considered under "duress." Another point scored by the prosecution was corroboration by Ellis B.

Miller of General NEWS By United Press SHARON, April 17. Handicapped by lack of water, firemen were unable to rescue two children, who were burned to death when fire destroyed the home of Fred Swogger here today. Alice May Swogger, 2, and her nine-months-old brother Robert were burned to death. Another child, Lucy, 4, escaped. The mother had gone to a neighbor's house, leaving the children asleep, when it is believed an ember from a fire fell on waste paper and started the blaze.

A bucket brigade was formed but the fire had gained such headway that the dwelling was soon burned to the ground. The children's bodies were found among the ruins, burned to crisps. The home was located just outside the city limits of Sharon. DIRECT ATTAC ON VESTAL BILL WASHINGTON, April 17. Leading educators and librarians from all parts of the country yesterday strenuously opposed the Vestal bill to amend the acts respecting copyright, on the broad ground that it would further tend to isolate the United States and would hamper higher education.

Dr. M. L. Raney, of the research library of Johns Hopkins University, was chief spokesman. Appearing as official representative of the American Library Association, he proposed an amendment which would eliminate from the bill provisions affecting books published in foreign countries.

"It is rot a good investment to put a tariff on books needed for the education of the people," he said. Released on Bail in Damage Verdict Case Imprisoned last Saturday for failure to pay a damage verdict of $6000, D. N. Gekas, of Capital street, former proprietor of Har-risburg and Altoona confectionery stores, was released today under $6600 bail pending a hearing May 3 on a petition for his permanent discharge under the insolvency laws. Gekas was jailed a week ago today for falling to pay $6600 damages to H.

M. Glenn, of Mechanics-burg, for the alienation of the af fections of the latter's wife. Un-i der the law he can be imnrfsoni'di sixty days if the court find3 he is able to pay the damage verdict but refuses. Cyrus C. Barnes, of 634 Camp street, father-in-law of Gekas, fur-1 rished the $6600 bail under which the latter was released today.

Gekas was married to Barnes' daughter shortly after the trial of the alienation of affection suit. In his petition for discharge under the insolvency law Gekns contends his assets amount to $25 and he has his wife and two step-children dpeidnt on him for support. Carl B. Shelley and W. Justin Carter, are Gekas' counsel.

No Petition Received From Patton Signers The State elections bureau has received no petition so far from the signers of tin nonv'nating peM-tion of the late State Senator Edward Patton, Fourth Senatorial dVrVt, Philadelphia, who was a cand'date for renominftion. Under the law in case of death of a candidate a majority of the petitioners mav sign a petition for another candidate for the nomination. Today was the last day for certifying names of candidates to the county romm'ssioners, but in the case of the Patton petitioners they could name another Republ'can rardidate any time prior to next Tuesday, when the commissioners send the of candidates to the printers for the primary ballots. HOLLYWOOD, April 17. The film capital has many claimants to fame, such as former "Follies" girls, one-time Russian "Countesses," prominent authoresses and sometimes heiresses.

But the latest and most emphatic jn her clamorings for attention is the screen aspirant who boasts, "I was one of those who attended Earl Carroll's champagne party." The girls it seems there are already a score of them are more than willing to paint vivid word pictures of the famous New York farty which was featured, they say, a bath tub full of champagne, with a girl in it as an incidental decoration. Notwithstanding certain glaring errors in the continuity of their etories, "the bath tub party" girls are merely victims of a condition When the acting business in Holly-' BONG TRADING LIGHT TODAY By ELMER C.

Draws Eight Aces in Pinochle Game Bw United Prcst McKEESPORT. April 17. "Here, hoys, what do you think of this?" was the remark of L. V. Entyre, high school athletic coach here, when he drew "one thousund aces" in a pinochle gnmc.

Entyre said he did not feci like emulating the Chicago man who dropped dead when he was dealt eight aces. In fact, he did not even faint. It was said that a card hand of eight aces comes once in 500,000 deals. FifMClflL I original souls actually obtained divorces for the publicity it gavel them. But the girls who "attended" the widely discussed "champagne bath in New York are the rage right now, and some seem to think that they already outnumber the "former Follies beauties" who always have been as close to Holly- wood as the skin of a thin eel.

Grains Close Higher CHICAGO, April 17. Prices closed hipher on the Board of Trade today. Wheat was strong and active throuirhrut the sr-ssion and sharply higher in all deliveries. The deferred fuures were rtrong.

Heavy buying of futures in Winnipeg and the natural strength in thnt market together with the unusually heavy export birincss was the patent factor in the advance here.
