The Prize Winner

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I went to q wedding shower
and we played five hundred.
I had the highest score and ~
ceived first prize. Was I sup.
posed to give the prize to the
bride? MRS. N,
This is the custom in some
communities, but In other
places it is very much frowned
on. I agree with the latter
point of view-it does seem un-
reasonable for the person who
wins the prize not to keep it.

The Former Fiance

DEAR MRS. BEECKHdAN:
I have recently become en-
gagged. About q year ago I
was practically engaged to an
other man, but it was broken
off by mutual consent. Would
it be right. to send him an an.
nouncement? We are still very
good friends. BETTY.
By all means send an an
nouncement to this friend. It
will show that you have a sure
social sense instead Of a mar

"Shine 'em, shucks !" exclaimed

MAY DAY demonstrations were Of
AVA various kinds in the various
great cities of the world. In Moscow,
as might be expected, the Reds put
on an immense parade, nearly a mil
lion proletarians following the army
through Red Square singing reyolu-
tionary hymns. All buildings were dec
GRATED and the marchers were re-
viewed by the highest officials of the
Soviet Union. Theatrical companies
gave free open air performances, and
bands were everywhere. Next day the
Soviet government demonstrated its
technical achievements with a parade
of automobiles, motorcycles, armored
motor cars, fire engines, tractors,
buses and tanks.
In Paris the radicals were kept from
disorders by the activities of the po-
lice, and in Berlin they had parades
and huge meeting but refrained from
all violence. The same was true Of
American cities. Japanese officials
forestalled trouble by making hundreds
of arrests, but the demonstrations
were notable for their size and en-
thusiasm.

 Senator Hatfield, republican, w. Va, in statement issued through the republican national committee, said Barkley was being used as a spokesman for American interna- tional bankers "on a subject dearest to their hearts-debt cancellation. " He also referred to "the desperate Raskobian effort to discredit the new tariff act.'
 At the same time, Chairman John J. Raskob of the democratic na- tional committee announced through the National Broadcasting Company his first active part in the fall con- gressioroal election campaign. He will speak Monday night over a na- tional radio hook-up on ''The Tariff From a Business Mans Standpoint"
 A statement defending the new tariff act from the viewpoint of the housewife was issued today by Mrs. Clare C. Grace, Petersburg. Fla, re- publican committeewoman from Florida.

HOOVER PREPARES
 NEW COMMISSION
Completing Body Which He
 Hopes Will Revise Tariff

Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)-Pres. ident Hoover virtually has complet- ed reorganization of the commission through which he expects to revise the Smoot- Hawley tariff law.
 With the life of the old commits sion expiring by law at midnight a week from tonight, the president plans to make public within the next few days the names of the four re- maining appointees to the tariff body. He has been negotiating for weeks with score of prominent men and economists, seeking con- mission which would meet his re- quirements, and has practically made his choice.
 Edgar B. Brossard, Utah repub- lican now serving on the old com- mission, is one of the four, the Unit ed Press has been reliably informed. Brossard acted as chairman of the old commission.
 It is possible Alfred P. Dennis. Maryland democrat, may also be finally chosen on the new bipartisan commission. Dennis served as vice chairman on the old commission and is highly regarded by democrats and republicans.
 Two Announced
 Two members already have been announced, Henry P. Fletcher, vet eran diplomat and Pennsylvania re- publican, as chairman, and Thomas Walker Page, Virginia economist and democrat, as a member.
 The president is represented by his friends as desiring more econo- mists for membership on the con- mission. He has. however, had great difficulty in finding men of practical experience in tariff matters who also are economists. measuring up to the other requirements of the office.
 Within the next 10 days the con- mission is expected to begin work re- vising what MT. Hoover called "the inequalities and injustices" of some portions of the new law. Fletcher will be the presidents personal rep resentative on the board. The two are close friends, Fletcher having made the South American tour with the president before his inaugura- tion.
 . Mir. Hoover palms to put the con- to work immediately at it's task of placing many of the Shoot Hawley tariff rates on an equitable basis. He probably will not name the rates which he has in mind, but through Fletcher, he can institute any investigation of rates which he may desire.

.CAP0NE PLANS B|G
 GANGLAND MERGER
Will Take Former Enemies Into New Vice Scheme

Chicago, Sept. 10 (UP)-"Scar- face" Al Capone has taken his for mer rivals into partnership with himself in a giant cooperative or ganization to control the beer, vice and gambling industries in Chicago and Cook county, reliable reports said yesterday.
 Sources close to the underworld said that this is the gang chiefs plan to put beer running and ille- gal resorts back on paying basis. At the same time Capone hopes to eliminate many of the gang murders which have concentrated unwante attention on gang operations.
 Police activity resulting from the murder of Alfred J. Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, and the expose of the slain Jacl- Zuta's connections with public men, has caused an alarming depression in gang rev. enue. Returning from summer re- sort communities, where they usual ly operate during the hot weather, gang leaders found Chicago all but closed. New police captains were on duty in many wards. Peace off, cers had become difficult to deal with.
 Capone's answer was to complete an "all for Al and Al for all" or ganization, which he has had in mind ever since his release from jail in Philadelphia last spring. As it is being put into operation now. however, the scheme embraces sev- eral departures from the original plan.
 Al Stays Backstage
 Capone himself will remain far enough in the background to be safe. Most of the actual work will be done by a Cabinet" of depart ment heads made up in the main of Capone's former enemies. He will live at his brothers home in Cicero and spend only small of time at his Lexington hotel headquarters in Chicago.
 As tentatively selected the cabinet will include:
 Secretaries of beer-Manufactur- ing, Joe Saltis; delivery, Klondikc O'Donnell. Both of these men have been notorious Capone enemies in the past.
 Secretaries of war-Ted Newberry and Jack McGurn.
 Secretary of gambling-Ralph Ca pone, brother of Al. Ralph owns the Ship" famous Cicero gambling resort, and is familiar with the so- called slot-ma chine racket.

MACMILLAN GREW
 HOME ONCE MORE
BoWdoin Returns to Maine Wa
 ters After Trip North

Boothbay Harbor, Me, Sept. 10 (UP)-The veteran arctic schooner Bowdoin was back in Maine waters today, marking the end of Comman- der Donald B. MacMillan's 18th ex- petition into the far north. The trim white vessel, bearing seven men and seven boys besides her famous skipper, put in here last night after an uneventful homeward cruise from beyond the arctic circle. She was expected to proceed today to Wiscasset, the Sheepscot river port that is considered her home haven.
 In contrast to most of Comman- der MacMillan's previous expeditions, the journey just ended did not have scientific exploration as its para mount purpose. When the Bowdoin sailed from Wiscasset on June 21 last, she carried 40 desks and mis- cellaneous schoolroom equipment which were installed in the Eskimo school which MacMillan erected last year near his scientific experiment station at Main, Labrador.
 Thus, the distinguished explorer partly fulfilled his pledge to the La- brador Eskimos, to build and equip three schools for native children.
 Visited Reyjovik
 The Bowdoin's first stop after en- tering northern waters was at Rey- javik, Iceland, where members of the expedition attended the celebration of the 1,000th anniversary of the AL thing, the Iceland parliament, be- lieved the oldest body of its kind in the world.
 Later the party visited the famous cryolite mines near Ivigtut, on the southern tip of Greenland, where considerable time was devoted to re- search work.
 On the return trip the schoolroom equipment was installed near Main, Labrador.
 The youngest member of the ex- petition, and possibly the youngest person ever to visit the far north, was MacMillan's cabin boy, William A. Thomas, Jr. 10, of Chicago, whose father went as ships doctor.
 Besides these two and MacMillan, the party included: Ralph T. Rob- inson, Merrimac, Mass, assistant to the commander; First Mate John T. Crowell, Jr., Gloucester, Mass; Sec ond Mate Frank D. Henderson, Pro- vincetown, Mass; Engineer John Jaynes Someryille Mass. Cool, Tony Alexander, Provincetown; Ra- dio Operator Paul. H. Davis, Jr., Chi cago; and Edward Hoffman, John Post, Frank Elliott, Clifford Crulle, Jr., James Markham and Robert M. Potter all young sons of wealthy Chicago men who helped finance the expedition.

 Dan thought he already had learned few things from him, and a lot about him. during the prepa- ration of the scenario; but when shooting started and he saw Garry Sloan beside the camera. he saw a different man. Here Sloan was king, a giant blond headed king in soiled white flannels on a canvas throne. And Sloan did not suggest here; he commanded.
 He could smile when something pleased him. and he could praise with a brief word or two when praise was someone's due; but more often in the pictures early stages Rorimer would see him frown or shake his head in disapproval at something not quite right, and everything would stop instantly and a scene would be done over.
 "Cut!" Sloan would command. And then, heartlessly:, That's lousy; that won't do at all" But he got things done.
 A difficult production schedule had been mapped out, necessitating, because of the directors exacting demands and the heavy daily ex- pense, good deal of work in the evenings. Often the cast was kept until a late hour at night, and Dan thought Anne Winter was begin ming to look a little tired.
 He told her so. Finding it pretty tough, aren't you?"
 But Anne shookher head and smiled at him. T guess I'm too en- thuslastic to be tired, Dan"

LEGGE CALLS'FARMERS
 "RUBES" IN HIS ADDRESS
Federal Farm Board Spokesman Creates Sensation By His Forceful
 Vocabulary About Stockmen.

Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)- Chairman Alexander Legge of the federal farm board believes "a lot of rubes" are aggravating the farm problem by blind adherence to old fashioned methods.
 Legge's vigorous vocabulary which has reused controversies from here to Kansas in recent months, played momentarily here on the farmer who refuses to substitute wheat for corn in fattening stock.
 We would be on a domestic con- sumption basis in grain if stock feeders would use wheat" Legge said.
 Dairy and poultry men are talk ing kindly to substituting wheat and small grains for corn, but the stock men are not. There isn't bushel of grain too much in this country now and the wise feeder is buying up grain for winter feed.
 But a lot of darn rubes are do- ing what their grandfathers did, selling wheat at 70 cents a bushel and buying corn at $1 for feed"
