AUSTRIA OBJECTS
 ID SALE OF BIBLE
Dispatches Indicate Yollbehr Only Has Option on Book

Washington, Aug 20.-P0Sur- prise was felt in the capital tc>lay at news from Austria that the Aus- trian government had interposed ob- jections 10 the sale of a Gutenberg Bible destined for the library of congress.
 At the last session congress appro- priated s1,500.000 for the purchase from Dr. Otto Vollbehr of large collection of rare examples of early printing. The Gutenberg Bible was considered the gem of the group.
 When the proposal was advanced it was understood the Bible was the property of Dr. Nollhehr, who was said to have purchased it for s300,OO0. The monks at Saint Blasius monastery, so congress was told, were holding it for safe-keep- ing.
 The remainder of the collection was brought to Washington soon after the appropriation became avail- able and was turned over to the liz brary. Dr. Nollbehr then announced he was gong 10 AuStrld peTsohdIly to bring back the Bible, represented as one of the three best remaining examples of the work of Johannes [ Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press.
 Klagenfurt dispatches indicate l the book collector had an option on the Bible but had not purchased 1t at the time it was offered to con- gress Semi official circles were re- ported as voicing governmental ob- | jecton to the sale and demanding l an export permit be applied for since the book was destined for tho congressional library. Whether the | books transfer 10 the United States would be permitted, however, was not made clear.

 Dan complies reluctantly, as he i5 distrustful of Ziggy, but Anne proves 10 be charming She has had stage experience = in stock companies. which Dan tells her is the best foundation for an extra to have. Anne gathers that he Is q little dissatisfied with things at Continental For one thing he thinks they have miscast the star whom they select to play in the picture that IS to be made rom a story he had written before com ing to Hollywood.
 Rorimer tells Anne about some of the discouraging phases Of extra work, but he really be- lleves she will make the grade, % and he thus assures her. They go 10 the Roosevelt Hotel 10 dance, and Dan, before the evening is over, IS quite srnltten with her.

 It was Monday morning.

 Looking back over those two weeks. Rorimer smiled little bit. terly at the recollection of his re. ception at the Continental lot. H. had been introduced 10 the pro ducer. no less. and that important and busy individual had ordered that Rorimer be shown the sights The studio manager had invited him 10 lunch, introduced him tc various directors and scenario writers at the table. who had greet cd him pleasantly, pausing long enough in their game of throwing dice to see who should be stuck fol the meal checks 10 bid him welcome 10 Hollywood.

wood We all know about. Every body knows about them. But the extras who provide the atmosphere for the industry-who knows about them? True, they're listed at Gen. tral Casting. and they've got men up there who can remember what girl looks like when her name is announced over. the phone. But they're just names and types-a fat man with a bald head; a slender blond who can wear sport clothes.
 How do they live? Before l came out here a year and half ago, I subscribed to the popular mo- tion that the restaurants and bar Der shops would be full of wait resses and manicures who came out here to crash the movies. It isn't true; Dick Charles says he's known only few in all his experience. And anyway, if they did take a steady job some place, they wouldn't have a chance to work as extras
 "I sometimes wonder what it would be like if some giant hand | could scoop up all the people con- nected with the motion picture in dustry, from the highest down to the lowest, and throw them into a giant hopper and have them come out of the little end as one con- posite person. :. Know what l mean?"
 Rorimer nodded thoughtfully. Sort of a least common demoni- i n1tor of Hollywood
 That's it. And, man. what a story that person would have to tell,"
 "You'll never get it." said Rori- mer
 "l know it; but I can continue to think about 1t. Here's Henrys; let's go in. I could dc with a slab of that eggnog pie"

 I'm not kidding; I'm serious. The story's not complete without the extras, Think of the thousands or them men and women of all ages and descriptions-hanging on and waiting and hoping that by the l grace of God lightning will strike i them somehow and they'll get a break that will bring them fame. It's pathetic, you know it? It's a damn sight worse than that; it's almost unbelievably tragic

 No thank you. Nine o'clock with makeup on. That means Anne Win ter goes to bed at 10 at the very latest" She added that it took her nearly two hours to put on a movie makeup.

Certain Diseases Require Specialists

titioner who has kept himself up to
date to determine whether diseases
of the heart are present, the nature
of that disease, and the competency
of the patient to perform certain
work.
On the other hand, the heart is
hidden away in the chest where it
can not be seen, and all of its func-
tons and the changes which it I'M
dergoes must be determined from
evidence which is secured only with
the greatest of difficulty.
1t is possible by humping the
chest to outline roughly the borders
of the heart and thus to know
whether it is enlarged or smaller
than it ought to be.
1t is, however, possible by use OF
the X-ray to determine the borders
of the heart exactly. 1t is possible
by listening toFthe heart to deter
mine whether the valves are func-
tioning satisfactorily and to know
whether it is likley that they are
CONSTRUCTED, thus permitting an in
sufficient amount of blood to pass
through; or dilated, permitting the
blood to leak back after it has
passed through.
When such changes occur, muir
murs arise, which can be heard by a
StethoScope.

strange looking wild animal coming
down the road leading from the
mountains.
Now you should never be sur
prised at what you see coming out
of the mountains, because, as Jake
says, there must be animals back in
there that nobody even ever heard
tell of.
So Jake sits there on the porch
and watches and what he sees is a
short, bull-necked, barrel-chested
ogre walking on hind legs and
swinging pair of arms that almost
dragged in the dust.
You couldn't blame Jake for
thinking a lot of crazy things and
for once in his life not seeing any
thing funny in the situation. But
it turns out that this time the joke
was on Jake, because it wasn't any
gorilla or any strange wild animal
at all.
It was prize-flghter from the
city. A fellow named Pauline, who
is training up in the mountains.
Jake says he'd rather meet a bear

THE TRANSPORTATION

I'm Aug. 6, Greek and Latin
" churches commemorate the
anniversary of the TRANSPORTATION,
when Christ assembled Mount Tabor
with his three favorite disciples,
Peter, James and, John, and re-
vealed a supernatural change in his
personal appearance.
A chapel dedicated to the Trans
figuration caps the highest peak of
Mount Athos in Greece, where a
great annual service is performed
on. the recurrence of the festival.
Tozer describes the scene as fol-
lows:
"AS we approached from the east
we first heard the sound of chant
ing from within the chapel, and
when we came round the platform
in front scene appeared which !
never shall forget.
Distinctly seen in the moonlight
we're the weird ghostly figures of the
monks, closely wrapped in their
gowns, with long black beares and
mushroom locks, some sitting close
to the little window of the chapel,
where the service was going on, some
lying about in groups, like the fig
ures of the three apostles in Ra-
phael's picture Of the Transfigura-
ton.
AT intervals, as We sat there. the
priest came out arrayed in gorgeous
veStmentS and swung the incense
about us. The vigil lasted a whole
night"
