Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February 10
(N.AN.A).-Hollywood town has be-
come one great big happy university
for entertaining education, with the yelp
leaders publicity mem directing the
zestful outpourings of the collegiates.
There's a good deal of college spirit.
It's all for dear only cinema" don't
you know. And morale must be kept
up, even If to do 1t we must smother
the immorale that is going on. The
college presidents and faculty members
(producers) plant their mortar boards
firmly above their unrufiled brows and
smile blandly. The yell leaders know
their stuff. The cheering will be good
and in the right vein.
It's all done SO smoothly and so
crafty, and every now and then the
best of us get the wool pulled over our
eyes before we know it. A model couple
of the colony decide to go their separate
ways. So glibly is the breakfast food
publicity on it circulated through the
journalistic ranks that we find our
selves writing that there is no other
man or woman in the case. Romance
has petered out, so to speak. We find
ourselves philosophizing: Isn't it so?
Sometimes little rivalry keeps the
home fires burning.
Typewriters click, and a carefully
whitewashed story goes the rounds.
Then Old Man Rumor gets to work,
and slowly through the inner profess
sional ranks seeps the real story. The
lady, supposed to be impregnable to the
admiring glances of genties other than
her devoted husband, falls for young
gent with more millions than he has
years. That's how the perfect marriage
with a moderately successful Hollywood
husband petered out.
The whispering chorus now says that
among the signs Of Spring sported by
this beauty is a fur wrap costing $50 900
the sort of little valentine this Croesus
would give. And to make the full Holly
wood tale complete, the husband is said
to be selecting stories in an Eastern

American Cotton Holds It's Own

A convention Of the American Cotton Shippers as
ISOLATION was held at Memphis. An economist for the
New York cotton exchange declared this country still
Is supreme in the world Of cotton, and probably will
continue to be despite increasing foreign inroaes.
He said foreign importers, spinners and buyers had,
without important exceptions, agreed that other lands,
especially In Europe and the Orient, are taking more
and more OF their cotton from growers outside the
United States. Foreign productions in five years
increased "a per cent. while domestic production in
creased IS per cent. Reasons given were lower costs
and higher qualities.
Regardless Of this. he predicted that, even if the
rate Of increase in foreign gains continues, this
country still will supply IS per cent Of the worlds
crop. "A congressional investigation Of the federal
farm board and affiliated cooperatives may be de-
manded BY the Cotton Shippers association.
All the big cotton exchanges and importers are
hostile to the policy Of the federal farm board and
she cooperatives and the grain exchanges Of America
and their dominant member are Just as hostile and
preparing Tor a battle royal. Self-preservation IS
said to be the first law Of nature.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Manhat-
tan's battle against the noises that
crash against the eardrums OF It's
citizens. Earring their nerves and
their dispositions, Is being carried
on along many fronts.
Experts have listened TO the
raucous beating Of the city's heart,
have cracked down the most roar
ing points, have surveyed the noise
zones and plotted the great metro
polls according TO cacaphonic dis
tricts.
Sound-proof buildings have been
erected In the effort 70 shut out the
turbulent voice CT the city"
Within the next few years some
means may have been found 10 still
the roar and rumble and reduce It
to a whisper.
One OF the most recent move
ments in the direction Of silence
has been made by the subway lines.
Being unable to DO anything about
the subway trains. they have re-
moved the click from the turn
stiles. No one In all Manhattan Is
more in need OF soothing contrap-
tions than the average subway COM
muter at the end Of the day. There
is. according TO experts. a machine

Tarrant county presents two Of its ~illustrious sons
as seekers for the democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Former Senator z. q. Senter Of Arlington, on
the fringe Of the Arlington Downs race course. has
been toying with the nomination for more than a
year. Senter is known as the Texas Wasp" He
will pull out OF the race If Lynch Davidson jumps in,
but otherwise he will remain on the track until the
votes are counted.
Grapevine is a historic village In the county Of
Tarrant. It's political oracle is DR.. Z. G. Walker.
He has been mayor Of Grapevine and a state legis-
lator in his time. Now Walker has Jumped in and
makes the 14th democrat ready to sacrifice himself
for the good Of the country. He has issued a declara-
ton Of principles predicting that the successful can
didate must base his campaign on something more
tangible than his former performance in rope-skin-
ming politics and personal opinions Of Tammany
Hall"
Why drag in Tammany Hall? There has been a
Tammary Hall in the city Of Fort Worth for years
and years. Some 10 years ago 1t was taken over by
the khan organizers. Dallas had the first Tammany
Hall in Texas. Its leaders organized the hall to con-
troll the city and county offices. Along came the
khan leaders, captured the hall. built q powerful or
ganiZation and made history for a number OF years.
Rep. John z. Davis, now a candidate for state treas
urer, was one Of the few democrats who bid defiance
to the reorganized hall political party and ran for
office on his own merits as a regular democrat with
out secret en~tanglements. He is serving his ninth
term as lawmaker. He is the publisher Of a weekly
newspaper, the Texas Mesquiter.
He is as deaf as a post, as wise as an owl, and, as
an observer, he sees more than a large majority of
his fellow mortals are able to hear. Walker. the
medico sage OF Grapevine, should be given a place in
the picture. There is going TO be q tremendous ad-
dition TO the army Of also-rans on primary election
day, In the closing week Of the hot month Of July,
Just before the dog days come In.

thought you'd help-because you
love the baby SO much"
Suwsnee was SO stricken with
surprise, and disappointment In
Dixie, that he was unable TO think
coherently. 1t has seemed such a
happy home. And one Of those rare
marriages, where two people SEEM
ed to be perfectly happy together.
He had lever seen two people
married that were such completely
different types aS the mischievous,
beautiful, active Dixie, and slowly
moving, plain Bang. Yet, Bang
seemed to adore Dixie because she
was pretty and funny and she, who
knew so much about the world
seemed to love him for his devoted
ness and his solidity.
They had both worshipped their
baby so that this that ElanAa had
told him didn't seem possible. He
remembered how frantic Dixie had
been when Andree was Sick-and
couldn't reconcile II with Elanda's
wild story. In q little while he an

There was no one else IN the
world I could trust, Suwanee." she
said tearfully. II had to have some
n to help me with my plan. I
couldn't do IL alone"
You have a plan? What is IT,"
She twisted her handkerchief
nervously.
You'll probably think IL isn't
much good. And you may be afraid
to help me try II. But II think
it's about the only thing that would
cure Dixie once and for all OF her
foOlishneSs. Tim sure she hasn't
gone too far" Elands added Loyalty.

tried to make her meaning clear TO

Dixie did love her baby. Such a

C"Jack Dempsey is going to Africa on q lion hunt"
News Ittm)
Dempsey is first In the ring. He appears very ner-
vous. The lion comes in a few moments later, and
by another aisle. at Dempseys request. The lion seems
quite confident. Dempsey looks very good-to the lion.
Jack goes into a conference with the referee. He wants
to know how long since the lion has been fed.
s
They are both in the center Of the ring now. Demp-
sey Is getting instructions. What he needs Is q
springboard. -Four of Dempseys seconds leave the
ring. They have gone out for animal poison.
sss
ROUND ONE: Dempsey is slow coming from his
corner. He Is being criticised for coming from 1t at
all. The lion is sizing up Jack. Evidently 1t Is having
trouble trying to place him. Dempsey lets 90 with
everything he has and lands a left on the lions Jaw.
The lion thinks Jack is trying to pet II. They circle
around the ring. Suddenly the lion stages a savage
attack and chases Jack all over the enclosure. A
Dempsey second saves Jack by tossing the lion a
steak. Lions round.
ROUND TWO: Dempsey is very cautious. Nobody
blames him. The lion Is roaring for its mate. Demp-
sey wishes 1t would get an answer. The crowd Is i'm
patient. 1t is yelling for Jack to 60 in and bite the
lion seems to lack aggressiveness. This is very pleas
the lion was fed before leaving the dressin room.
The boys in the 50 seats are yelling for action. The
lion seems to lack aggresiveness. This is wy pleas
ing to Dempsey. This was an even round with Demp-
sey under the greater nerve strain.
OUN THREE: The lion bounds from Its corner
and leaps at Dempsey. Dempsey ducks and hides
under a chair. The lion knocks away the chair and
drags Dempsey out by the neck. The crowd seems to
think Dempsey is not doing his best and is sitting
on him The fans boo Jack and yell, Get up and
fight. you big bum!" Dempsey tries to get up but
the lion paws him ~savagely. 1t Is the lions round.
u FOUR-The lion has finished Dempsey
and is starting to gnaw on the referee. The ring Is q
shambles. The lion. having tasted blood, is now
running amuck. The fans. disappointed at the failure
OF Dempsey to eat the lion, are crying "Fake!"
The police have stopped the bout and awarded the
the winner. Pa Stribling Endorses the challenge but
