pened to kick off an edge from a collaborating quartz vein, disclos- ing the glittering gold, it is hard to tell. But one thing one can tell-that "The Vanishing Ameri- can" is a picture that will live in ones memory after hundreds of others have faded away, according to critics.
 The Vanishing American" deals with the vanishing Red Skin. It starts, first, with the cliff dwell e. 5, perhaps two thousand years age, who, because of the sense of security to their lives that came to them from dwelling in the in accessible sides of the cliffs, be- came lazy, until the Red Skin h. dians, more sturdy and warlike race of people, descended upon them, and exterminated them. Years later the White Race sub dued the Indians, the American Government putting them on res ervations, where they were SUD- posed to live in peace and securi- ty.

Happy Jimmy" Murphy, 51-year-
old veteran of circus and theater,
is trying to get divorce.
There's no obvious connection be-
tween those two statements. But
Murphy, seeking to divorce his third
wife, whom he married in 1924, says
in his petition that she has nagged
him so much that he has lost his
ability to laugh-and, with it, his
ability to make others laugh.
If he gets divorce, he says, he'll
be himself again and all will be well.
Murphy, who ran away from his
home in Streator, ILL.,, at the age of
8 to join circus, and who has ap-
peared in all parts of the United
States and Europe, says that the
hackneyed laugh, clown, laugh
motif is all a myth.
A clown who is unhappy can't
succeed, he says. Hiding a broken
heart behind pointed smile is all
right. except that the broken heart
won't stay hidden.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Con-
gressional leaders are spending the
holiday recess time working them
selves into a serious tangle over the
Kellogg treaty, the naval bill and
farm relief.
RumorS and threats of filibuSters
against these measures are fill
ing the air. Leaders are hoping
that President Elect Hoover will
straighten matters out when he re-
turns to Washington, Jan. Z.
The whole situation revolveS about
Hoover's promise to call an extra
session of congress after March 4
if no suitable farm bill is enacted
before then.
Now some of his friends claim to
have word directly from him that
he wants the revised McNary-
Haugen bill passed now, to avoid
the necessity for an extra session.
Reed Talks Ware
Another group led by Senator
Borah of Idaho wants to delay ac-
ton on the farm bill which would
require an extra session to be called.
Opponents of the naval bill and
opponents of the anti-war treaty,
who are in the minority are using
this situation to complicate the po-
sition of these two measures. leaving
the entire legislative program to the
mercy of the fateS
Still further complications are re-
ported to be contemplated by Sena-
tor James A. Reed, Missouri, an op-
ponent of the treaty, who is plan
ming to have his committee report
on the Ware election case imme-
diately after the holidays. Such ac-
ton would have the effect of delay
ing ratification of the treaty and
passage of the naval bill.

hurry to force premature ratifica-
