Pretty Pauline GarOn
 Leaves Cosy Home to Win Celebrity on Screen
Featured Player in You Can't Fool Your Wife" May Be Petite, But
 She Is Brave and Determined.

Slim, blonde, five feet one, and cute that's Pauline Garon, the latest me- teor of the films who has recently sprung into screen fame, and who is one of the featured players in George MelfOrd's Paramount picture produc- tion of You Can't Fool Your Wife, , which will be on view at the Rialto Theatre all next week, beginning Monday.
 Little Miss Garon is French Canadian. She didn't learn to talk English until she was 10 and still re- tains a decided but very pleasing French accent She was born in Mon treal, Canada, one September 9 and is of combined French and Irish parent age. Her father was Pierre, her mother Victoria. Her father was em- ployed in the postal service and later entered the insurance business at which he attained success.
 Pauline was sent to the Secred Heart Convent in Montreal where she remained under strict discipline for seven and one-half years. Always, however, there was an urge for ex- precision, desire to pour out the vi vacity, the unquenChable enthusiasm, the pep" to express 1t ln word, that Is so distinctively part and parcel of this new whirlwind of the cinema.
 So one bright day she ran away from home No reason at all, she just wanted to see a bit of the world and her spirit didn't reck of the difficult ties attendant on a young girl travel ing alone Anyhow that has never bothered her, as the diminutive Gar on is a raging lion to those who give offense. The res a lot of fighting spirit packed in the little body,
 She landed at the Hotel Commo- dore, New York, took a SIP a day room and had SIPS left in her purse. She blithely wired home: Send me $5o," and the next day she sallied forth-to the theatrical producers.
 Her beauty won her quick job in "Lonely Romeo" in the chorus, and

Mexican Delegate of Machinists' Union Now
 Touring United States

Washington, May 1.-J. w. Kelly, grand lodge representative for Mexico of the International Association of Ma chinists, is making a speaking tour of the United States to acquaint trade unionists and citizens generally with the Mexican situation.
 The trade unionist is thoroughly in formed on conditions in the southern republic, and especially with the amaz- ing progress made by Mexican work CTS. This is the first attempt to counteract propag ganda of oil imperialists and others, who are poisoning the peoples minds toward Mexico. Meet ings will be held among the various A. F. of L. affiliates
 "Another purpose is to give in de- tail the progress made by the Mexican trade union movement especially in the past five years" said Representative Kelly. ''When trade unionists in the United States become acquainted with this progress and know of the militanCy and the constructive policy of their brothers across the Rio Grande a better understanding of the problems of both countries will follow
 "President GOmperS has given as surance of every effort to assist in this educational movement. All meetings will be held under the auspices of central labor unions affiliated with the A. F. of L.

SOrdid Labor Policy
 Wrecks Western Road

New York, May 11.-The result of the sordid labor policy of hard-boiled fnanciers toward railroad shop men is shown in the case of the Missouri Pacific railroad.
 The report of the president of that road shows there is a difference of nearly So, ,5oo,ooo between the profits of 1921, when no strike existed, and 1922.
 The report shows a deficit of ST. 4I3,7I2 for last year, From outside sources Wall street learns that de ferred maintenance of equipment, last year accumulated to the extent of about $I,5oo,ooo." This is another way of saying that necessary repairs to equipment have not been made, and thus the actual deficit is about s. 0oo,ooo.
 When it is considered that net prof it's, after all charges, in 1921 was $3,- 537,oI6, the contrast between the two years amounting to nearly 50, 500, 900 becomes glaring.

GOVERNMENT LEASES FIVE FLOORS OF
 NEW LABOR BANK

Five floors in the new bank building being erected by the Brotherhood o1 | Railway and Steamship Clerks in Gin natl have been leased by the United States Government for the period of one year with the privilege of renewal for the sum of $43,198.2O.
 The lease covers the entire second third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors com prising a floor space of approximately 5000 square feet, and will be used to house the United States War Veterans Bureau District No. 7, comprising one of the largest districts in the country, looking after the welfare of the veterans of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
 The personnel of the Cincinnati office is composed of a staff of officers and over five hundred clerks.
 The lease was negotiated by the resi- dent members of the Building Committee, composed of Grand President E. H. FitzGera1d, Grand Secretary Treasurer George s. Levi. Vice Grand President c. C. Milan, and Phil E. Zeigler, editor of the Railway Clerk, representing the Brotherhood, and Captain William E. Veterans Bureau. representing the gov ernment. The agreement reached by these parties was ratified by the Wash ington authorities and the lease signed.
 Work on the five floors will be rushed with all possible haste so that the premises will be ready for occupancy on or before July 1st.
 The organization is very fortunate i'll having practically all of the available space in the building leased before its completion to one tenant, and that tenant the United States Government.
 Not infrequently 1t takes a year or more to rent all of the space in new building the size of ours, with the con- sequent loss in income. But as quickly as the builders can complete our build ing it will be occupied, and not day s rental will be lost
 As the Grand Lodge officers will occupy the entire seventh floor, and the bank large room on the ground floor, all the space that remains to be rented are the three store-rOoms on the ground floor. These rooms will undoubtedly be rented before they are ready tor occupancy.

KU KLUX KOWARDICE

Tt is new thing for honest, one hundred-pcr-cent Americans to be ashamed of their faces. The Ku Klux- CTS profess to specialize in piety and patriotism. Pious and patriotic people generally do not hide their cOunte- nances under masks or their light un- der bushels when they attend church. They have nothing to be afraid of or ashamed Of The ku Klux church fashion is not only piece of cheap and ill-mannered melodrama, but 1t is in direct conflict with the honest Americanism that is not ashamed of it's patriotism and of the honest hu- m1I1ty that never wears mask over head Or heart in the presence of God."-Baltimore Sun.

ON WITH PROSPERITY

Immigration restriction was one of the measures which helped to put an end to the industrial panic. We have come a long way through wise ad- ministrative and legislative measures since then. Today unemployment has been reduced to a minimum, wages everywhere are rising
 Tt is unnecessary to point out the evil of throwing open the gates at a time of prosperity in order to flood the country with workers and non workers, whose very presence would serve to bring prosperity to an end-'' -Secretary of Labor Davis, in a re- pert to President Harding

We modern Americans are great believers in cooperation and the re- suits that 1t is supposed to accom- pllsh for government, state and com munity.
