FEEL ANXIETY FOR
 ROYAL HONEYMOON
Fear Storm May Now Delay
 Boris and Bride

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 2S LF-Some anxiety was felt here today for the safety of Czar Boris and his bride queen, Giovanna, who, aboard the royal yacht Car Ferdinand have run into violet tempest in the Aegean sea.
 The royal yacht yesterday with difficulty made it's way through the Corinth canal, passage way from the Adriatic to the Aegean, and after wards took refuge near the shor". Later messages from Greece said the position of the yacht was not then known.
 The storm which caught the bridal couple is sweeping the entire eastern Mediterranean region. While it was expected that Boris and Gi- ovanna, spending their first hours together, would arrange q slow voy age to Narna, Bulgarian port of de- barkation, to permit of a more pleasant honeymoon trip, it is now believed they may have been delayed far beyond their expectations.
 A long delay would upset serious ly arrangements which have been made here for formal registration of their marriage according to Greek Orthodox Catholic rites next Thurs day. It was expected that they would arrive at Narna Wednesday and proceed Thursday to Sofia where elaborate ceremonies were planned.

STATE, BUREAUS EFFICIENT REGARDLESS OF POLITICS

One of the stock arguments per petrated by organization spellbinders is that If the wicked Democrats should win the state election It would mean the ruin of the efficient operation of the various state de- partments.
 How this would come about Is not explained. It apparently is merely assumed that if Dean Cross were elected Governor he would be a bad man and one of his first acts would be the turning of state bureaus into horrible examples of wastcfulness and incfllciency.
 How this calamity would be brought about, we surmise, is that all the present officials and en- pIovcs would be summarily discharg- ed, their places given over to what the late Mir. Bryan termed de serving Democrats
 Dean Cross, to our knowledge, has as yet made no such bald assertion. But he is looked upon with suspicion by the organization, which believes that even q "mcre professor might carry dynamite bombs in his hip pocket,
 There is strange possibility, however, that the Democrats, if they got control, would provide better for some of the states great bureaus and institutions than has been the ca SC in the past; especially as the Demo- crats have been making claims that

New York, Oct. 2S.-The brief flicker to fame these anxious days not only puzzles overnight celebri ties but even astonishes the public glancing at their clay feet. This transition does not apply solely to fortunates of stage. screen and ra- dio but to all forms of "public-con- tact" endeavor.
 Gertrude Ederle, swimming tn" English channel and looming large ir the headlines for days passes along New York streets almost un- noticed to take her train to Rye. where she is swimming instructor. The evanishment of air heroes is startling. Not even Lindbergh ties traffic in a knot any more.
 The Guy Empeys, the Eddie Rick : enbackers, the Michael Arlers and others as deservedly illustrious are befogged by a volcano of indiffer- ence. The warm hand becomes g cold shoulder. The celebrity is Il ten day wonder" and there he goes, Two ladies last night were un- able to recall the exact exploits oi Ruth Elder.
 A celebrity today-with eXcep- tions of course-wears out his wei come by a careless promiscuosity. r. he is the hero of some eXtraordi- nary achievement he is immediately besieged by those who want to traf- fife in his sudden popularity, to capitalize an often hard-won halo.
 He is asked to prattle over the radio, illuminate the news reels, en- dcrse cigarettes, shaving soap an1 such. He must pose for the tabloids and rotogravures4 He is invited to b. a guest of honor at "celebritV nights at supper clubs. And is usu- ally offered "a week at the Palace" ,"
 If he adopts the theory he must make hay while the sun shines, his finish is usually quick. The public yowl becomes a yaWn. Nothing is so mentally cloying as an overdose of celebrities. Humanity being what it is, admiration curdles into a fine derision over night.
 The explanation requires no ana lytical acerbity. Celebrities fail to master the obvious lesson of attract ing attention by the inverse process of stunning it-so ConspicuouSly effective with J. M. Barrie, Julia Arthur, and Maud Adams. Greta Carbos big box office draw is her studied isolation.
