MISS GUINAN COMING

49, California IS to be honored CD by visit from
Miss Texas Guinan, we'll known proprietress of a
New FORK night club, who is coming to Hollywood ac-
cordng to reports, to take part in film production
The mayor of Los Angeles has declared that he
VIII not be among the delegation which is to turn out
en- masse and welcome the flaming lady from Broad
way. Mr.. Cryer cannot afford to be present, Miss
Gulnan being one of hundred or more at present
under federal indictment for violating the prohibition
law.
Far be it from to Judge the accused before she
is tried She may be, she claims innocent as new
babe Even II guilty she is not the only one.
Miss Gulnan, IN addition to being noted for own
ing night club has attained certain notoriety for
two phrases which she has coined. Hello sucker is
her greeting to visitors to her club whom she insults
at the start by telling them frankly they boobs for
coming there They but Miss Guinan might remen-
Der the courtesy due guest from hostess.
Give the little girl hand" is her second pet
phrase. 1t means that after the sucker" is in, he
must help Miss Guinan's club make profit by ap-
plauding her entertainers whether they deserve ap-
pauSe or not.
Miss Guinan may be as innocent as she claims
but the fact remains that the atmosphere surrounding
her club is not the sort that would inspire Lndbergh
Helen Wills. 1t is cheap tawdry and smacks too
much Of the tenderloin Just how she can upift the
movies, we fail to And we cannot help wondering
what has happened to the Car of Fimdom," who is
careful of its morality. Possibly he is still busy
savng his conscience with regard to those Continental
oil bonds.
We know reason why California should give
the little girl a hand"

1t is estimated by the company that
soc. 900 automobiles would cross the
bridge the first year. While farmers
and others living in that part of Vir-

use of the bridge. 1t was said that the
main nart of the traffic would come
from tourists travelling from the North

to Great Falls.
Congress has authorized the construc-
ton of a toll bridge at that point. SUBJ
iect to the approval Of the War Depart
ment. The bill was sponsored by
Senator Swanson and Representative
Moore of Virginia. Little opposition
was encountered when it was made
known that neither the State OF Mary
land or Virginia had any intention OF
building a bridge at Great Falls.
Outline of Bridge Plans.
The plans for the bridge have been
formulated to provide handsome
structure of steel and concrete appro-
pirate for any artistic setting In the
development of Great Falls water power
or the site as a national park. They
have been approved by the Fine Arts
Commission and the National Park and
Planning Commission.
While the bridge would be privately
owned, the War Department would fix
the amount of toll charged motorists
Granting of the permit is confidently
expected as 1t is generally conceded
that there is an urgent need for a
bridge in that locality. The War De-

question of its relation to the future
