COAST GUARD MAD AT DRY PUBLICITY
More Important Activities Being
 Overlooked by Public
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Aug. 3.-Thh coast guard continues to complain that the rowing spotlight of publicity always favors its activities against rum runners instead of it's ancient and honorable work of life-saving and other, maritime aid.
 This does not square exactly with a common opinion in Washington that the coast g1lard boys are about the best little press agents in town.
 But even if the guards long standing complaint be true, it is perfectly natural. No ono need be surprised if newspapers give much space 10 incidents where the coast euardsmen shoot up yachting par ties or kill more or less innocent citizens. It is invariably a matter of interest when an organization formed for rescue. and life saving has to shoot at people. Just think what lot of publicity the Red Cross would get if it started drown in~ disaster refugees instead of saving them!
 The coast guard can't bo blamed for it's shoounGs as an organization. It's officers admit they don't like the added prohibition part of their jobs. But they can't help themselves and whenever there's a policy Of shooting some shots are likely to land in the wrong place.
 .y''-'-' &- t'.'
 All of which should deter no onc from chronclins that reports recent ly reaching coast guard hcadUIar- tcrs here in a single week showed that the guardsmon had rescued 42o pcrsors. This 420 is q record likely 10. stand for a long time. It repre- scnts morc persons than the coast ssuard is likely to shoot if if con tinues to help enforce prohibition for the next hundred years.

WASHINGTON SET
 PREPARES FOR FALL
Usual Events Will Take Place at
 White House
By SALLEI. Y. Fl PICkE.JT


 Washington, Aug. 3 (P) - Not withstanding the hundreds of col umns written for magazines ana newspapers forecasting q big social upheaval in Washington by the first of next December, hostesses with un- derstanding are following the lead of the White House, and are going steadily on with their accustomed programs.
 The White House is already laying it's plans for the usual events of the winter social schedule and in ap- pointing military naval and marine aides has taken the most importan, step. There is no great ornament to state ccremonies at the White House than these aides and often they are of real use. For many years one or two aides sufficed for the presi- cent, but when President Roosevelt came in with his love oi the glam- orous side of military life, he added the largest staff the mansion had ever accompanied Nor has the list grown less since that time.

He was born in Massachusetts in 1865 and ap- pointed to the corps from the Dis uict of Columbia July 23. 1897.

CHARACTER ACTORS
 IN DEVIL DaH1l

Some of the greatest character actors and actresses in motion pie lures today supported Gilda Gray in the Samuel Goldwyn production, "The Devil Dancer" coming to the Liberty tonight. Curiously enough, without exception, they come to pictures from a long stage experience, showing that the flick ering screen is still dependent in some measure on legitimate drama. Clarissa Selwyn, who has made the character of repressed old e I woman memorable, came to the screen some ten years ago after an initial stage experience. Her most recent successes in character roles are Resurrection" Ramona" and '"Oid San Francisco" Michael Valvitch had long stage experi- ence in his native Russia. Kami- wanna Sojin was the founder of the little theatre movement in Japan where he played Shakespeare Wilde, and Japanese playwrights for many years MT. Sojin, who has her first character role in mo- tion pictures in "The Devil Dancer,
 was the leading lady of the I'm perial Theatre in Tokio before the Soiins came to this country. Give Brook plays the role of leading

 The conditions of the contest were peculiar. The destroyer could not come within five miles of the shore, whereas Fiftiper had the whole bay open to her on the rising | tide.
 Veronica, with her eyes shining. took a sharp turn to port headed for the point at the western ex- tremity of the bay and opened out Fiftiper began to move-25, 30, and quickly up to forty.

 The party expected to return on Monday afternoon, but owing to the low clouds, fog and rain, it was impossible for the seaplane to get into the lake for them until this morning.
 While the members of the party caught unlimited fish, and had suf- ficient food, they experienced some uncomfortable moments and when the plane picked them up, they had walked the entire length of the lake to the camp established by M. V. Manville and Mrs. Man vile. "Thc best part of the entire trip, so far as I am concerned, was the sound of the Ketchikan motor this morning." MT. Bernard said.
