It all involves a rather unusual
agreement which Mr.. Paddock
has made with regard to his
Hollywood activities. He told az
all about it yesterday at a little
luncheon in which his corking
address. studded with entertaining
asides, was the most interesting
course.
Mr.. Paddock, 1t seems, is a
simon pure amateur. He takes
no money for his public appear
ances on the cinder path and his
athletic career il rigidly super
vised by regulations OF the the
Amateur Athletic Union of AM
erica, Of which Mr.. Murray HUI
bert Ii president.
Now Charlie has some very
good friends in the movie colony
and they decided he was the type
that might go in the films. They
made him an interesting proposal
to appear before the camera. He
was inclined to accept but being
eager to protect his amateur
standing and assure his appear
ance in the 1928 OIympics, be
decided to-. put the entire matter
up to the A. A. u.
The Olympic committee, affili-
ated with the A. A. u, considered
the case and reached this inter-
esting conclusion. Mr.. Paddock
could appear in the proposed
Hollywood film drama but not
until the picture had actually
been screened and his personal
appearances with 1t completed
could he take a penny Of profit.
Instead his portion OF the re-
ceipts will be held in escrow un.
til the committee determines
whether he was getting by in
the picture on his merits as an
actor or solely upon his reputation
as a master athlete. Charlie had
confidence enough in his ability
to register satisfactorily for the
camera to accept the A. A. u. pro.
posal. He is confident THE

the screen star will prove that

GUARD BY 1880
is COAL OF U. S.
Militia Bureau Reports
Steady Increase Is to
Be Program.
BY G. J. LHLEY
Times staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Although
far from its peace-time goal of $780,
600, the National Guard is growing
slowly, but steadily each year, &C
cording to report of the Militia
Bureau of the War Department to-
day.
BY the end of the fiscal year 1929
80 the guards enrolled strength will
be 10000. On June 80 Of this year
it was 186,260 and June 80 of next
it Is scheduled to be $4,000.
Growth is limited by appropria-
tons fixed by Congress. Though
agreement between the Federal Gov
eminent and the States provides
for a National Guard OF 100000,
this mark cannot be reached until
the money is provided.
Average cost to the Federal Gov
eminent has been $29,816,004 during
the last five years, while in four of
the five years the States have con-
tributed an average Of $11,956,25a
annually.
For 1928 there is a Federal ap-
preparation Of $3l,103,7S7 and for
1929 the sum is $31,714,656.
The national defense act Of 1916,
dropped the word militia and made
the guard a national organization
under the supervision Of the Fed
eral Government and the States.
Although it was at first planned
to have a guard strength Of $4,000,
this was found to be too ambitious
a program and in 1928 the quarter

BIZ United Press
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 10-A lively
bit Of argument has been started
here because the chief Of police,
without waiting for anyone to knock
a chip off his shoulder or shake a
fist under his nose, expressed an
opinion that "rnost lawyers worship
the dollar and will go any route to

After Chief Robert F. Reed had
delivered that announcement, he
elaborated the design a little, waited
for the repercussion and then, when
it came, stepped out of town for a
weeks vacation.

Of trying to hamper the forces Of

original discussion.
"It has reached stage in this
country where every man placed in

tional rights at stake and these

The response to Reeds assertion
was speedy, voluminous and direct.
In addition to defending their
own profession, many lawyers hit
back at the police. Police officials,
