Tuesday,
If any of the believe-it-or-not gen-
try is interested, 46 percent of the
homeymooning couples who registered
at the Hull Hotels last year were ac-
companied by a thir(j purty .
Warner Bros, is (responsible for
this astounding statistic — in an in-
direct way, of course.
When the studio projected its
"Honeymoon For Three," in which
George Brent, Ann Sheridan and Osa
Massen play a large portion of the
title role, Dr. Herman Lissauer of
the research department was delegat-
ed to check on the title. Motion pic-
ture companies are fussy about these
things.
The researcher's inquiries led him
to Newman Tucker of the Hull Ho-
tels promotion department. That
worthy scanner the registers and
came up with, we repeat, that as-
tounding 46 per cent statistic.
Included in the revelation^ was the
fact that, again you are uiged to be-
lieve it if you want to, mothers-in.
law are the most frequent third par-
ties.
"It's the honeymooning couples
from the East who bring mother-in-
law with them,'' Tucker explained.
"She comes along for the ride."
The oddest honeymoon far thr* c
lasted fur an hour, Tucker tells. The
third party in this case was a train-
ed chimpanzee belonging to the groom
a vaudevillian. He insisted on bring-
ing the chimp into the room. The
bride stormed out, carrying her val-
ise, an hour later.
The bride's girl friend is a fairly
fraquent third honeymooner. She's
along when the decision to elope is
made and she provides moral support.
A spurned suitor came along all
the way from New York once, Tuck-
er relates. The groom was a salesman
from the big city who came, in the
course of his drumming, to the up-
state town. The hometown suitor
didn't trust him so, even though l^e
was jilted, he insisted on coming
along to see that Nell wasn't ditched
before she'd met the Justice of the
Peace.
Two days after that threesome
honeymoon party landed in Los An.
geles, it was a foursome.
"The jilted boy friend fell quick
for the manicurist in our barber
shop", Tucker says. "He married her
her the next day."

EIGHT ARIZONA COUNTIES
NAMED FOR COTTON
STAMP PLAN
Tike Department of Agriculture an-
nounced today that the Cotton Stamp
Plan to move cotton goods through
normal channels of trade to families
receiving public assistance will Ik- ex-
tended to these eight counties in
Southern Arizona: Cochise, Gila, Gnu
ham, Greenlee, Pima, Pinal, Santa
Cruz, and Yuma.
Selection of the Arizona urea for
Cotton Stamp Plan operation follow
ed conferences between representa-
tives of the Surplus Marketing Ad-
ministration of the Departmer". of
Agriculture, and local public offic-
ials, welfare officials, and dry goods
merchants and bankers who will !>e
concerned with the administration of
the program.
It is estimated that there are 8,180
families, representing some 2.r ,f>80
persons, receiving public aid in the
eight counties and eligible to parti
cipate in the program.
Under the plan of cotton stamp dis
tribution to be used in the area, eli-
gible families will be given the op-
po> tunity to buy green-colored cotton
stamps within minimum and maxi-
mum limits, and to receive free $1.00
worth of brown surplus cotton stamps
for each $1 .00 worth of green stamps
purchased. The purchased green
stamps are to guarantee the contin-
uance of the family's normal cotton
goods buying, while the free brown
surplus stamps will be used to obtain
additional cotton goods.
The cotton Stamp Plan, like the
Food Stamp program, provides for
the movement of surpluses entirely
through the normal channels of trade.
Actual operation of the program in
the Arizona una is expected to In-gin
in about a month. Participation in the
program will be voluntary.
