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

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.
