OLD MAIDS NOW,
UNTIL NEARLY 30
CHICAGO, June "Old maids need
hang their heads no longer."
The ideal age lor a heroine of
moving picture romance or of love
stories generally is today 28 years,
an .age that only a few years ago was
regarded by the general public as fix
ing a woman "defJnUely in the ranks
of confirmed splnHterhood. This Is
the conclusion made from a careful
study of the 27,000 love stories which
the lay public, amateurs from all
wulka of life, wrote for the scenario
contest recently conducted by the
Chicago Daily News. Representing
not what scenario and magazine edi
tors or writers guess 1 the public's
choice to be, these manuscripts were
first hand information on the actual
tastes .of the people who buy books,
and who attend moving picture exhi
bitions.
"Striking unity among the nation
ally scattered contestants upon the
subject of the heroine's age is among
the first things to be noted by the
judges," snid James Shryock, di
rector of the contest today, announc
ing the facts ns brought out .by the
competition. ' It is too general to be
accidental and represents undoubt
edly' a" country-wide change in ideals.
"Few of the heroines are in their
'teens, only a handful are in their
early twenties, the great majority are
around 27 and 28, the authors seem
ing to regard this age as woman's
best and woman as more beautiful,
intelligent, poised and attractive
there thtfn previously. The judges
declared that the age of the ideal
heroi ie had been advancing as ro
mantically perfect.
"The judges explain this by citing
woman's entrance into industry,
politics, education and by pointing
out that woman today refuses to
grow old and takes better and more
intelligent care of her beauty than
she did in early periods. In the sto
ries written by women, 60 per cent of
the total, the heroines were on the
average four to five years older than
In tho stories written by men.

ers' product in the way of costs anc

About fifty cents out of each dol-
lar the consumer pays for bread, the
! report said, is absorbed in cost of dis-
' tribution. The farmer gets only 29.6
cents .in the local market fo the
wheat needed to produce it. A sur
vey showed that the average cost of
getting the wheat ready for the bak
lhg stage was 8.4 per cents, while the
average cost of manufacturing it into
.bread was 10.16 cents.
"A considerable factor In the
1 baker's cost of distribution, which
averages 15.76 cents of the con
' Burner's dollar. Is the service ele

"Our inquiry does not Indicate that
the manufacturing baker has ex

cents from the consumer's dollar
for 'manufacturing bread and dls
