MARY ANNE GOES INTO RETIREMENT Flower Girl for Forty Years But Will Have No Successor London, Eng.-- One of the last of the London "flower girls" is deserting her *"'pitch" which she has occupied outside the Royal Ex- change for 40 years. No doubt Mary Anne has a surname, but as Mary Anne only has she been known to a couple of generations of city business men and women who have stopped of a morning at her basket on the Exchange pave- ment and purchased a buttonhole. have been quite a profitable live- lihood. Although the wearing of a buttonhole by men is a custom which has considerably declined in recent years, yet the increasing number of women city workers who buy flowers to adorn their office work tables has consider- ably compensated for the loss of the old custom, Tlower sellers say that whereas a city gentleman used to spend six pence on a but- tonhole there are now many women workers who willingly ex- pend two shillings at a time in the purchase of blooms, Mary Anne is going into honor- able retirement, but there will be nobody to follow her in the busi- ness. The City Corporation refuses to issue new licenses for street flower sellers, and as the old "girls" leave the business, or may- be leave life altogether, there are no successors. Flower selling on the city sidewalks is understood to USES CAP TO FLAG EXPRESS IN PERIL Amherst, N.8.,, Oct. 7.--Using the red lining of his cap as a warn- ing to the approaching Canadian National Maritime Express, twelve- year-old' Robert Mills yesterday averted a serious accident.

The Bank Officers' Guild is now dis- turbed because of an alleged in- tention of certain bank director- ates to institute "Internal associa- tions", to discuss working condi- tions with their staffs. The Bank Officers Guild declares that a fight is "looming ahead' for the retention of an adequate standard of life among bank assistants. These new "internal associations", 80 the Guild asserts, are precluded from discussing questions of wages and bonuses with the direc torates, With reference to the general position of the bank clerk the Guild asserts that there is evident a clear intention of the banks to cut their overhead charges. This will not be in the form of frontal attack upon bank clerks' salaries, but by methods more subtle--a lit- tle here and a little there being abstracted. It can be quite safely assumed, the Guild declares. that the banks will eventually work to- gether with a common understand- ing upon staff salaries and condi- ons, _ PLENTY OF, BITES Passer-by, to small boy who {is sitting patiently fishing--How many bites have you had?

The Bridge of Sighs is a covered span of stone that connects Tombs prison with the New York Criminal Courts building. Across it prisoners are led from their cells to the court docks ; its name originated from their thoughts and feelings as they were led to trial or brought back again following pronouncement of their sentences. Some of the most notor- ious criminals in the world have made the trip over the historic "bridge." "For the Defense" presents William Powell as a brilliant criminal defense lawyer who saves many a client from jail through his resourceful applica- tion of legal technicalities. But the day comes when he must summon every trick in his power to save the girl he loves from a charge of man- slaughter. In attempting to win the case for her he becomes enmeshed in the toils of the law himself, and faces life term in jail. The climax is filled with high-tension ' dramatics, and leaves audiences breathless, Kay Francis is the sweetheart who is threatened with the ominous trip across the Bridge of Sighs into a life gime of imprisonment, : Scott Kolk is the society ne'er-do- well who starts all the villainy in the production, He was one of the fea: tured players in "All Quiet on the Western Front," "For the Defense" was written by Oliver H. P. Garrett, former New York newspaperman. whose movie story, "Street of Chance" proved to be one of the greatest dramatic thunderbolts of the past year. SIDNEY BELIEVES MURRAY The old theory that professional jealousy is characteristic of all act- ors is refuted in the case of George Sidney and Chatlie Murray, who are co-featured in "Around the Cor- ner," the Columbia all-talking com- edy coming to the Martin Theatre today. A most wonderful spirit of comradeship exists between' these two actors, They have been featur- ed together in many films and Sid- ney still' thinks that Murray is the funniest comedian in pictures. When- ever the Irishman has a scene alone, Sidney sits on the sidelines and goes into paroxyms of laughter. : During the making of one scene in "Around the Corner," Sidney was not as quiet as he might have been and the results were mildly disas- trous. The mishap occurred in the sequence in which Murray, as O'- Grady, the cop, discovers a foundling on the doorstep of a shop. Murray, followiig Director: Bert Glennon's instructions, bent over the basket and cooed, whereupon the infant lifted its little fist and poked Murray' in the eye, This struck Sidney as an hilarious bit of byplay, and forgetting he was on a sound stage, he haw- hawed loudly and exclaimed, "Oh, Murray, you look too funny for words--what an expression." This particular take was ruined for the sound version of the picture but it was later used in the silent version, Murray and Sidney contribute their inimitable eharacterizations in "Around the Corner" with amazing results, The picture is uproarious, Notable in the supporting cast are Joan Peers, Larry Kent, Charles Delaney and Jess DeVorska, Bert Glennon, showmanship director, handled the megaphone on this pro- duction. Jo Swerling, author of "The Kibitzer," sensational comedy 'suc- cess, wrote the continuity and dia- logue. THEORY WAS WRONG AND THEORIST DIES Chicago, ' Ill,~Joseph.

Today, it may be warm--tomorrow, gainy and cool. Homes, where the owners delay lighting the furnace, are subject to unhealthy variations in temperature. Doctors state that many cases of colds and even influenza are directly traceable to a false economy in not lighting the furnace early enough. With Hamilton By-Product Coke in your cellar NOW, it is easy to avoid this danger. With this high-grade, all- Canadian coke starting a fire is' much simpler and it is an easy matter to maintain a moderate heat.
