HERE'S DEFINITION
 OF "sOC|AL CELEBRITY

The movies have put another phrase into the English language. This time, it's "A Social Celebrity" The casual reader, on seeing this may ask :. And pray, tell me, just what is a Social Celebrity'?" The answer would seem to be found in Adolphe Menjou's newly completed Paramount production of the same name.
 "A Social Celebrity" presents the star in the role of barber. Our dictionary gives forth the information that "A Social Celebrity" would be "a renowned member of society" But if we look at the Menjou film, we find it's the story of a9barber who posed as a foreign Count and succeeded in becoming a social success. It's full of typical Menjou-esque humor and is heralded as the best thing either he or Director Nal St. Clair have ever made.
 The Liberty theatre will act as host to "A Social Celebrity" tonight. Chest CT Conklin, well known comic, and Louise Brooks are featured.

Florida Stirs Comment.
Throughout the committee hearing
yesterday frequent reference was
made to Florida. which State has no
inheritance tax law. While repre-
sentatives of the State vigorously
appealed for elimination of the Fed
eral levy on the ground that it in
fringed upon the rights of States,
spokesmen from other sections of the
country also referred to the Florida
legal code in arguing various points
for abolition of the Federal tax.
w. r. Kay, who appeared as per-
sonal representative for the Govern
or of Florida. declared the State
seemed to be n target for charges
that were not justified by the rec
ord. He reviewed Florida's history
of taxation. saying that all revenue
was derived from ad valorem and
license taxes, and that the Federal
estate levy encroached upon the
States rights.
Kay denied as untrue a statement
recently made to the committee that
1.20e miIlionaires lived in Florida.

John B. Sutton, president Of the
Florida State Bar Association, also
appealed for elimination of the estate
levy. He likewise said the State
had been subject to unfair publicity

Ruddy and six of the Burns detectives
were called in at separate times and

In his October 20 report the sleuth
said another man followed Costinett
to his store and remained in the
vicinity about half an hour. when
another man arrived and remained in
the vicinity until almost nightfall. The
October Fl report stated that the op-
erative saw a man several times circle
the block where Costinett's store is,
and that another man loitered about
the place for two holrs. When COsti-
nett went home, a third man was
seen standing there for some time.
From the descriptions which the
two jurors gave Mai. Gordon, each

a different man. Greenfield said he

Yes; If he wasn't he could not

stated he answered, turning then and
lea wing the store.
The stranger was persistent, ap-
preaching the Juror again on the
street a few minutes later.
Say, you don't think they'll do any

there, do you?" Greenfield said he was

1.-THE direct result Of this program
of reorganization has been not only
:the more satisfactory handling Of the
ma ior activities Of administration at
headquarters, but the strengthening
of the hands Of field officers, prin-
cipals and teachers, thus making for
marked Improvement in the condi-
