LONDON, Aug. 14 (JP).—Gloria is leaving the mannequin business high and dry before It leaves her that way.

She occupies the number one posi­tion in England's dress parade ranks.; Is known universally by her single name; claims the world's picture pub­lication record for girls; and most decidedly is not being forced to quit her profession — but she says "you can't always keep a young face."

So Gloria, who has let no grass grow under her shapely feet, is about to become a publicity director for a large department store (Selfridges).

Gets What She Wants She decided to become a manne­

quin in pig-tall days and thus began practicing before a mirror and watch­ing her habits and food carefully to gain perfect poise and form. She did.

Then, when she finally had hit the star at which she had aimed, she de­cided to perfect herself in another profession to which she could turn for continued economic security. She has.

"I made up my mind years ago to quit modeling before it left me high and dry In the business wrold," she explained. "I've seen many come and go during my ten years in the busi­ness. The life at best is not long. Ad­vertising work, on the contrary, holds no age limit for a woman."

Flooded With Proposals Gloria is slim and fresh. He figure

Is almost boyish. There are no wrin­kles about her bright blue eyes. Some­times she wears her golden hair In neat waves, sometimes It is curled

All that makes for the heavy fan mall she receives dally. She gets pro­posals of marriage, too—addressed merely to "Gloria."

He suitors may not know It but Gloria Is married, and has been for some time. But her private life is a thing strictly apart from business. On the rare occasions when she finds us­ing a second name necessary, she digs up her Yorkshire maiden name of Kenworthy.

Gloria's photographs are published

Gloria, beautiful English mana quln, will soon b* directing public for a London department store.

Just about everywhere. Her we«i average of photo publications , adve Using a variety of produces In t world's press, recently hit 85 rnillio Her weekly minimum is 60 millio

"The publication of which I i most proud, however, does not be my own name at all." she said, "b the name of Greta Garbo In error

Higher Prices for Butter Expected

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 14.—{JP)—Dr. E. W. Gaumnitz, dairy section chief of the Agricultural Adjustment Admini­stration, said today the outlook ap­pears to be for higher butter fat and butter prices during the next few months.

In an address prepared for deliv­ery at a meeting of the Dairyman's Cooperative Creamery of Boise Val­ley, Dr. Gaumnitz sard:

"The immediate outlook appears to be for butterfat and butter prices during the next few months to average somewhat higher than last year.

"However, it seems likely that the drought conditions already have been largely reflected in prices and It ap­pears somewhat doubtful that prices next winter will show such marked Increases from current levels as the unusually large increase of 12.6 cents in the farm price of butterfat and 13 cents In the wholesale price of 92-score butter from July to February last season."

With the development of drought conditions, Dr. Gaumnitz said the farm price of butterfat Increased 17 percent from June, 1935, to June, 1936, while for the first 28 days of July the wholesale price of 92-score butter at New York averaged 33.4 cents compared with the July average of 24.6 cents, an Increase of 36 per­cent.

Nome, Alaska, was originally called Anvil City, later being named After Capo Nome near which the town Is situated.

The manner In which the capo Itself derived Its name Ls well night fantastic. Commissioned by the British Admiralty to chart the Alaskan coast, during the 1840-s, it was observed hy one of the men performing the task aboard the British ship "Herald" that no name had been Riven to designate tho cape. He thereupon indicated this by writing on that portion of the chart the question "Name?" This was carelessly Included In the rough chart by A draftsman AS being the actual name of the cape.

Upon the return of the ship to London, the "a" In "Name" was to Indistinct It appeared to be an "o" And so on the finished chart the capo was given the name "Nome."
