MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. b. While President-elect Hoover is waiting for the Coolidge lease on the White House to expire, an elaborate mansion has been placed at his disposal in Florida.
 From his sojourn within th.s state, between the time Of his re- turn from South America and next March 1, MT. Hoover has been of fered the estate of J. c. Penny, White Plains, N. r., millionaire.
 Here, it is pointed out, the next President would be as accessible to the winter colony as he pleases, or as remote from it as he wishes. The mansion is located cn Belle Isle. a private island off Miami Beach proper, and job-seeksrs. will find it almost as difficult to storm as the battleship Maryland.
 With the mansion, MT. Penny has placed his cruiser and speed boats at the disposal of MT. Hoo- yer, and it is likely that the Pres ident-elect would try his hand at fishing. Sail-fish. barracuda. sword fish tarpon and tuna abound n the Gulf Stream and ii he w3uls small but mo- less toothsoma fra, he. can cast a line from the Pen ney pier and hook mess of grouper, yellow tail or sea trout, between daylight and breakfast
 The Penney home, three story mansion, commands 10 acres cn the west coast of the island A great living room rises for two stories in the southwest wing of the main floor. Across the bay side of the living room at the sec- ond floor level is a balcony of carved mahogany, entered from the second floor porch which adjoins the suite which would be given over to the Hooyers.
 A pipe organ, played from a  hidden keyboard, rises on the west wall of the living room opposite a fireplace Thanking the living room with a southeastern exposure, is the dining room with it's carved walnut woodwork. Behind it is the kitchen and the chefs quar- ters.
 Four master bedrooms and baths comprise the second floor, the suite designated for the Hcovers occupying the southeast wing The same number of master bedrooms and baths are on the third floor, as well as the ball room which is the same size as the living room directly below.
 In front of the east wing of the house between roofed eoIonade and the waterfront, is an open air, sa1f water swimming nO0l

 Laura La Plante is bewitching as the girl without husband. There are two other couples in the picture seeking marriage and in- numerable original mix-ups occur Happily there is not even sug- gesticn of the bedroom farce which has been produced with al- most alarming frequency of late
 Beware of Widows" proves that suggestiveness is not necessary to make a highly successful comedy
 The story is well-constructed, and each incident has it's purpose which is the giving of or the building to a very hearty laugh,
 A supporting cast of good troop CTS appear in this picture headed by Bryant Washburn. Walter Hiers, of course, is good for many laughs. Heine Conklin makes an exceptionally "goofy" captain oi the houseboat on which most ci the action takes place. Fully Marshall, Paulette Duval, Cathe- rine Carver and Otto Hoffman dc excellent work.

THE SIREN" SUNDAY
 OFFERING AT COLISEUM

To whet the eagernes5 of fans to see "The Siren" at tie Coli scum Sunday, it might be men, tioned storm from which a pret- ty girl seeks shelter in a lonely cabin with a wealthy clubman, a fight in burning building, a sen sational murder trial and conyic- tion as highlights.
 "The Siren" is a picture set against the background of social events in which Dorothy Revier, in the title role, toys with the af- factions of young men to relax from the boredom of bridge, dan- ees and dinner parties. She thought she was immune to love; but. with her awakening comes the realiza- ton that she has been a dupe for a swindler and cheat. From this moment on there is plenty of ex- citement and daring situations.
 Tom Moore has the leading masculine role which he handles in a finished manner. He is kept busy by Norman Trevor, as the villain, who is unrelentlessly prosecuting the beautiful heroine. Otto Hoffman, as the butler and henchman of Norwood, is as crafty and sly as human being can be- T h four succeed in getting themselves tangled in web of cir cumstances from which it seems almost impossible to escape. Then, through queer twist of fate the situation clears up and the-to tell any more would be to give away the plot of an interesting picture.

 Much of the cry against Gcy Johnston has been his refusal tc dismiss Mrs. o. o. Hammonds, his confidential secretary, whom ad- ministration critics accuse of run hing state affairs with a high hand.
 The Presidential campaign added some fuel to the anti-administra- tion fire. Johnston was support ed in 1926 by the Women's Chris tion Temperance Union and the Ku Klux Klan, but there has been outspoken criticism of the gover- nor by members of these organi- zations since he took active part in the presidential campaign in behalf of Alfred E. Smith.

BIG MERGERS MARK 1928 IN
 AUTO WORLD
By DAViD WILKIE "A, p. Corresncndent)

DETROIT, Jan. 5.-A concentra- tion of production capacity in the consolidation of various companies with assets totalling well over half a billion dollars, marked the year 1928 in the automobNe industry. The year brought outstanding me chanical changes that would indi cate any definite trend away from present day standards.
 What changes have been made in motor cars have been chiefly in body design and tendency to fully equip cars from bumpers 10 windshield wipers The changes in body design have been to give the automobile a more massive appearance, with little, if any, alterations in chassis. Larger radiators also have made their ap- pearance carrying out the impress sion of larger" cars. Air cleaners and oil filters have been made standard equipment on many cars, and even the Ford company this year went in for fully equipped products.
 Six Cylinder Motors
 Elimination of more four cylin- der cars in favor of the six-cylin- der motor also was noted during the past year, and automobile au- thorities say that 1929 will see only two four-cylinder cars in pro- duction.
 In the more than half billion dollars in assets effected by merg- CTS and consultations, the Chrys- Ter Dodge Brothers, Inc, union, an- nounced May 29 last. led the way with tangible balance sheet as- sets of approximately $235, 5,000,0OO. At the time the consolidation was announced the two companies had stock outstanding valued at $450,- 100000, according to New York stock exchange prices.
 Next in line in the tendency to- ward closer unity of production fa- cilities was the merger of the Studebaker and the Pierce-Arrow companies. Plants, properties and other assets totalling $160,000,00G were involved. The merger was approved by stockholders of both companies late last June.
 Recent Consolidation
 A most recent consolidation Of sizeable proportions was that in volving acquisitions of the Chand- lerICleveland Motofs corporation by the Hupp Motor Car corpora tion, with combined assets at the time, November 30, of approxi- mately $13O,0OO, 900.
 Early in September the Auburn Automobile company of Auburn, Ind, announced it had acquired a controlling interest in the Lycom- ing Manufacturing company of Williamsport, Pa; Duesenberg, Inc, of Indianapolis, and the Lim- cuisine Body Go. of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Total assets of the four companies concerned were es- timated at approximately $14,0O0,- 900. While these consultations and mergers that gave group strength against competition of the larger producing organizations were being effected, one large con- cern, Velie, of Moline, Ills, an- nounced discontinuance of motor car production and entry into the airDlane business.
