John j. Parker in the Picture

Judge John J. Parker Of North Carolina, nominated
by President Hoover to be a member OF the supreme
court Of the United States, appears to be travelling a
rocky road. BY O vote Of 10 against to six for the
Judiciary committee of the senate declared against
confirmation OF the presidential nominee. A ma
jority Of both republicans and democrats on the COM
mittee voted against the North Carolinian whose
nomination by the president aroused the fierce OPP
position Of the labor organizations Of America and
negro organizations the country over.
As for the labor leaders. they declare that Parker
IS the most obnoxious Of injunction judges. AS for
the negro associations, their Spokesman say he Is the
unrelenting enemy Of the black race.
Parker has two stalwart hackers and friends-Sens.
Simmons ard Overman OF North Carolina. his own
state. These distinguished gentlemen and national
law makers promised TO carry the contest to the floor
OF the senate. As for the republican progressives led
BY Borah and Norris. they are against Parker on his
labor record. and promise to go down in the last
ditch in the struggle 70 defeat his confirmation.
Sen. Connally Of Texas Is said to be arrayed against
Parker nomination. while Sen. Sheppard has the
matter under advisement. Thus. for the first time
In many years, the senate judiciary committee has
voted against the confirmation Of a presidential nomi-
nee for an associate justice OF the court Of last re-
sort. All presidents have hard roads 10 travel near
the finish Of a second term. President Hoover is
having a rocky road early in the second year Of
his first term. Now the World Court proposal IS

A Revealing Art Display

The great italian Art Exhibition held in London IS
at an end; the various masterpieces OF the most not
able collection OF the sort ever brought together IN
years or likely to be assembled in years TO come are
on their way 70 their respective owners the world
over. For II may be recalled that Italy, the rest OF
Continental Europe. the British isles and even Ameri-
ca were drawn upon by the promoters Of the dis
play.
Although an e~mirently peaceful and civilized un-

The Once Over
ELMER TwITCHELL ON MIR. DEMPSEY AS A
LION HUNTER

4 see where Jack Dempsey Is going TO Africa to
hunt lions" said Elmer TwitcheI. the old-time fight
fan as he made a fifth attempt TO light a particularly
bad stogie. Well, I don't know how Jack will do
against a lion. but I am pretty sure he won't even
compare with old-timers like Jeffries, -Fitzsimmons
and Corbett and Rubin. They were the boys who
could fight lions!'
Elmer sac back in his chair and grew painfully
reminiscent OF the old tim Why Jack Dempsey
don't belong In the same class with Jeffries In a bout
with a lion. You wait for the returns from the first
meeting between Jack and one CT them animals; he'll
be fast and dangerous for a time but If he don't get
the lion at once Jack viii lose the fight.
"
"Now Jeffries was different. Jeffries wasn't fast
like Dempsey. but he was tough and when re was at
his best no lion ever lived that could hurt him. When
he was in his prime Jeff wouldn't even been dis
turbed by a lion. A lion would've took one look at
him and jumped out OF the ring"
How about Corbett?" Mr.. Twitchell was asked.
"Well, he wouldn't have exactly stampeded lions
like JeffrIes would. but he was one great pugilist in
his day and he was too fast for the average lion.
I don't say a young vigorous lion couldn't have given
Corbett plenty Of action, but the day Gentleman jim
met Sullivan at New Orleans he wouldve won every
round from any average lion. He wouldve had the
critter exhausted tryin' to get a claw into him"
How would Fitz have been against an African
ion?" Mr.. Twitchell was asked.
There was a fighter" declared Elmer. mo lion
could have lived In the same ring with him when Fitz
was a the peak Of his form. Il would've been crimi-
nal to send a lion into the ring with the Cornish
man"
How do you know? Did you ever see Fitz fight any
lions. Mr.. Twitchell7" asked the reporter.
Who. me?" fumbled Elmer, with that strange ex-
preston that comes 70 al veteran fight fans when
asked about old-time boxers, Certainly I saw him
fight lions. Lots Of times. They were his favorite
opponents. Whenever Fitz wanted a good workout
one that would give him reasonable action without
being too strenuous-he would send for an African
lion. And It was childs play for him. I never saw
Fitz even extended in q fight with a lion"
How about John L. Sullivan"
"Ah, the ncblest Roman Of them all" sighed Elmer.
""weIl. he always refused to fight lions. but it was
only because he was afraid he would kill one some
night with one blow"

to Dixie and her strange behavior
and her neglect Of Andree. There

sir and Elanda was walking all the
way TO Tenth street-home.
1t was unbelievable the way Dixie
left Andree TO her care. The baby
had become so dear and SO close 70
her that she seemed as II she were
her own. Sometimes Elanda would
remember with q little pang that
Greg did not like babies and expect
ed her to not care for them when
they were married.
What had gotten into Greg? Some
times for two or three days he didn't
call her on the telephone. Truth
fully. she was almost afraid TO adj
nit IL TO herself-she didn't miss
him. II was a relief not to have 70

she had gone up TO see her. Some
times there was some friend or rela-

her love and pride for her daughter
to-be. Lately. however. Elanda had
been unable TO meet the questioning

little yelled questions as 70 what she
and Gregg were doing with their
evenings that they never spent them

norance was bliss. But she didn't
see how a grown man could be so
naive. 1t was his great love for
Dixie that made him SO blind,
Elanda knew.
She threw herself across her bed.
She was tired and heartsick with
the whole thing AMI her head ached.
"A moment later she heard Dixie

Then there was a pause. Elanda

She heard Dixie again. The throb-

CHAPER 40

CHAPER ~
Suwanee was always helpful and
kind. He worked with Elanda tire
lessly on her new numbers. and they
spent hours together in the studio.
But he treated her entirely imper-
sonally. AS q teacher might treat a
pupil. He never invited her TO
luncheon with him. Not even when
they worked together all morning
until luncheon time.
She wondered about II. Was ii be-
couse she was engaged TO Greg and
he thought it wouldn't be proper?
1t couldn't be that-for everybody
went TO luncheon together. That
was too old-fashionedl
He had Just seemed TO lose inter-
est in her. Elanda wondered to her
self whether II was not because he
was interested in the gorgeous
Camilla Barry. She thought Camilla
hardly a suitable companion for a
boy like Suwanee-and felt as If she
desired to tel him so. But she didn't
dare.
He had tried TO interfere in her
personal affairs and she had pretty
soon told him where 10 head in. He
might do the same with her. She
couldn't chance It. Besides, she
didn't want him to think she OBJ
served any change in him.
Swallowing her pride she went or
learning her new numbers and sing
ing them-bringing in more and
more fan mail and more and more
publicity. Hardly ever a day went
by that Suwanee didn't get some
thing into a paper about her. There
was always sure to be a picture Of
her in az least Sunday paper.
A celebrated New York phctog-
rapher had contracted TO do all her
expensive photographs free-for the
advertising. When she was walking
along fifth avenue one day she was
thrilled TO see a huge colored pic
ture Of herself in his outside street
display where everyone walking
along could see.
Her name was underneath tt
Miss Elanda Lee. La Paloma'. Ra-
dio Station WWEC." II gave her q
warm glow Of pleasure. Even the
topping OF her artistic hopes could
not wipe out the fact that she was
fast becoming a radio celebrity OF

But as she strolled down Fifth

NEW YORK, May Out from

suddenly those p~Ock-marked signs

making Taken In"
IN those midtown brown-stones
of the mauve decade, these signs
can be now seen to any and all
p~assers-by.
For the old-fashicned dress
maker has staged q comeback. Yes,
I mean the almost forgotten spin
s~teresque lady who would hold an
entire paper OF needles in her
teeth, while juggling a set Of
safety pins and hairpins.
And these new long dresses are
TO be thanked.
For a number Of years, as every
woman knows. any dress that
tickled the knees was sufficient
unto itself. But, after a brief ex-
perience with tho1e new trailerS, II
became apparent that some fitting
might be needed. Just a little
tuck there. Imogene," or "a wee
bit too long. 1t might drag on the
sidewalk" or somehow it doesn't
seem TO set just right"
So. after a period Of time, most
women folk admitted that one Of
the new dresses could not be
properly adjusted without altera-
tons. Many preferred to have them
made to measure.
Thus il has come about that the
dear old dressmaker. right out of
grandma's time. has taken her fly
specked sign out OF the closet and
stuck il up in the window again.
And. insofar as New York Is con-
cerned. at any rate. she's doing
very nicely, thank you!

Last Thursday evening at the
Woman's Club joy reigned SUI
preme. The Lions, accustomed to
having their meeting during the
noon hour had agreed at recent
session to give test out to getting
together for a feed and business
meetin g in the evening.
They gathered, bring a number
of guests, and found that every al
ternate chair about the festive
board had been turned. Their curl
osity regarding this state of affairs
was not held long in suspension,
for in marched the wives of the
members, ready to participate in
the good things to eat, and the en-
tertainment for which the local
aggregation has become famous in
Lion circles.
The program committe, ever act
i've and original in their methods
of making each and every meeting
an attraction to members and
guests, had prepared this pleasant
surprise. The delightful dinner, pre-
pared by Mrs. Jayne as principal,
with the able assistance of Mrs.
