Little Jackie Has Grown Self-conScious
BY. JACK JUNGMEYER

Hollywood, Aug. 4.-Mental pangs
of the growing child are beginning to
nag Jackie Coogan. In stature he
has increased but an inch or two
within the past year, but he has pess.
ed one of those indefinable boundaries
which separate different phases of
childhood by leagues.
For one thing, he has become self
conscious. He's beginning to realize
his Importance. 1t isn't offensive.
Not blatant. And the fact that it
hasn't come sooner to this boy whose
precocity far exceeds his years indi-
Gates his singular poise.
Because of the peculiar circum-
stances of his klieg-lighted life and
training, Jackie's mental growing
pains may be more poignant than the
ordinary youngsters, although they
may not show in pictures for a num-
Der of years.
In the past year he has stepped
from the rags of "Toby Tyler" in
I"Circus Days. to regal raiment and
pomp in the filmed version of Mary
Roberts Ri>Niart's Long Live the
King" which has just been completed.
In most of his past roles young Coo
gan has been pitied, buffeted. In
this one he is cheered, saluted, exalt-
ed.

Coop Scheme Hits
Food PrOfiteerS

Frankfort on-the- Oder, Nov. 80
The profteering middlemen dealing
in foodstuffs have been dealt hard
blow by the cooperative efforts Of
a committee representing city and
labor officials and committee of the
Landbund, or farmers organization.
Under the new scheme certain guam
titles of potatoes and meats ~ose de-
livered through municipal authori-
ties.
The result has been that the city
workers and farmers have eliminated
the middlemen; retail prices of po-
tatoes and meat to consumers have
been reduced nearly 90 per cent and
the farmers are receiving better
prices than before. Another advan-
tage is that the supply of potatoes
and meat is made certain.
Professor Gagel and other ccono-
mists are urging extension of the
plan to other municipalities.
