Norma Talmadge and Gertrude
Astor recently engaged in a hair-
pulling match in Hollywood They
fought like a pair of wildcats,
Scratching and kicking, until the
stage hands' separated them.
When the battle ended the honors
. were abotat even. Miss Astor had lost
part of her hair, while Miss Talmadge
was minus her skirt; which wts tqrp
off during the melee.
. Then they shook hands admist the
applause of many interested specta
tors.
Miss Talmadge and Miss Astor
weren’t really angry; it was all part
Of the “shooting” of “Kiki,” Nor
ma’s latest First National starring
vehicle, produced by Joseph M.
ftchenek. ^
^ Battle Necessary. 1
The story of “Kiki” calls fdr a
knock-down, drag-out battle between
Miss Talmadge, playing the part of
a Paris waif, and Miss Astor, as a
French theatrical star. They are riv
als—in the' picture—for the heart of
a theatre manager (Ronald Colman).
’ Director Clarence Brown declared
that it should be a real fight, with
. no doubles or love pats. .
‘ “Fight!” urged Brown. “You’re bit
ter enemies. French women—when
they get mad enough—make Carmen
and other wild ones look like kind
ergarten girls. Now, get in front of
the camera and • fight—and keep on
fighting until I clap my hands.”
So They Fought.
And they fought. Norma’s admir
ers, who associate her with digni
fied, cultured roles similar to Prin
cess Yetive in “Graustark,” woulc
have had a difficult time recognizing
the star if they had seen her battling
with Miss Astor. Eyes ablaze am
hair disheveled, they were what the
spectators termed “a sight” as
Brdwn gave the signal and hostili
ties ceased.
The “Kiki” fisticuffs were realistle
enough to call a halt on work for the
remainder of the day.
“I hope there are no retakes dn
that scene,” gasped the star as she
slimped into a chair.
“Ditto,” was all Miss Astor coul(
Say.
“Kiki” is booked at the Dixie The
atre for ntext Friday and Saturday.

Two of the five first places in egg
production among the commercial
demonstration poultry flocks in the
state went to McCormick County
poultrymen for the month of March,
according to reports received from
the Poultry Division of Clemson Col
lege by Thos. W. Morgan, County
Agent. These places went to Messrs.
R. H. Middleton, of Clarks Hill,
Leghorn
of 20.4
eggs each during the month, and K.
Dowtin, of McCormick, whose flock
of 656 White Leghorns and Rhode
Island Reds produced an average of
19.9 eggs each. .
Beth these men have exceptionally
good .flocks of poultry, and are fol
lowing the best methods in their
care of their birds. Mr. Dowtin’s
flock has been ahiorig the first since
the beginning of the records last No-
vembei* His record among the ether
flocks in the state is as follows for
each month; November, third; De
cember, second; January, second;
February, second; and March, fifth.
Eight poultrymen of the county are
keeping records on their flock, and
some mighty good results have been
obtained. For instance, both Mr.
Middleton’s and Mr. Dowtin’s rec
ords show that they have averaged
$100.00 per month profit for the p^st
five months from their flocks and
any farmer knows that money com
ing in at this rate comes in mighty
handy ardund the farm.
Records secured , by the Clemson
Poultry Division show that an aver
age cost of 16.6 cents per dozen
was the figure on March egg produc
tion among 196 flocks in the state
from which reports were received,
and that these eggs were sold at an
average price of 26.1 cents per doz
en, showing that there is a margin
of profit even in low priced eggs.

Mellon Answers
Blease’s Charge
Land Bank System
WASHINGTON, D. C.,. April 30.—
Replying to charges made by Sena
tor Blease, Demdcrat, South Caro
lina, Secretary Mellon said today that
he knew of no unusual conditions in
the Federal land banks.
In a resolution introduced earlier
in the day, Blease declared that con
ditions “approaching a national
scandal” existed in six of the 12
land banks.
The resolution asserted that Sec
retary Mellon was withholding the
annual report of the Federal I^arm
Loan board and asked that it be
transmitted to the Senate.
To this Mr. Mellon replied that
the report would be sent to Congress
in its routine form.
Consideration of the resolution
went over until tomorrow at the in
sistence of Senator Curtis, Kansas,
the Republican leader.
A resolution by Blease asking an
investigation of the Columbia, South
Carolina, land bank is pending in the
banking committee which has asked
the Farm Loan board for a report.
