department can be. I've had ex-
perience with one. Plenty" he
added with bitter emphasis.

DUT Paul said he wasn't dealing
D with Continental now, This is
a real outfit"
Anne was curious to know what
had happened. She called him up
the following day and they went
out that evening and danced. 1t
was the first time in many weeks
that he had danced with her, and
he reminded her of this.
Who's been taking you around?"
And Anne laughed gaily, ooh,
not many people"
PLENTY, I'll bet" He knew that
she had been going out a good deal
of late. She was not very busy
these days, doing very little more
than reporting daily to the studio.
He accused her of forgetting him.
"You know BETTER" she said
lightly.
yeah? Don't tell me. I know a
thing or two about some Of the
handsome boy friends: What chance
has a hack writer got against these
young screen idols?"
Anne said, you're not a hack
writer"
well, what am I?'
For one thing, you're very OBJ
stinate and--little -boyish." She
gazed at him thoughtfuuy across
the little table where they sat and
shook her head. Dan, you ought
to believe in yourself more. Some
times I think you just don't care
what happens"
ooh, yes, I do"
Then stop calling yourself a
hack writer. You know very well
that a hack writer couldn't write a
play like yours"
well. nobody bought it." He
grinned. b
ooh, you're too unreasonable to
argue with she said i%npatiently
you're hopeless"
"Bull-headed, eh?' and at he1
despairing head shake he became
serious once more explained that
the play really meant more to hin,
than she thought.
Its come to mean too much,
Anne. If it isn't accepted I think
Ill-I'll cut my throat or some
thing. That's the way I feel about
it now"
Anne watched him light a cigaret,
watched him with a wistful little
smile trembling on her lips as he
blew out the match and dropped
it in the ash tray. She said, as he
lifted his eyes, They'll accept it
Dan"
eff they do" he said, I'll sure
celebrate. His blue eyes twinkleo
again. And I'll begin to Sleeer

If it was accepted, he was think

E-
VXTHEN Dan and Paul returned
wv from dinner that evening the
girl at the telephone switchboard
downstairs informed them that
there had been a call for Mr.. Rori-
mer.
From Miss Anne Winter She
left word for you to call her, Mr.
Rorimer, as soon as you came in.
Shall I put the call through for
you?"
Dan nodded. IF you will please.
We're going right up"
Anne said, as soon as she heard
his voce: .Eya'S gone. Dan"
The import of her words was slow
in reaching him. You mean 49,
I mean Eva has left. yes
Mona. Anne said, had gone down
town, that afternoon, and when she
eot back to the bungalow Eva was
gone and there was a note from her.
Poor Eva" There was a hint of
tears in Anne's voice.
I'm sorry, Anne" And he was;
he had always felt sorry for Eva
Harley: and never more so than
now; and yet he thought that Eva,
in leaving Hollywood, had done a
wise thing. He told Anne so.
ooh, I know it." she said sorrow
fully. Il know it, but"
And Dan interrupted her to ask
where Eva had gone. Did she go
back to New Orleans?"
Yes" she told him then about
the pitiful little note that Eva had
written and left for them-all the
more pitifu1 because Eva had tried
to write so bravely.
AND she said'-Anne spoke with
a catch in her voice-'she said
that it wasn't guod-by really, be-
cause she could see us in picttres,
and hear us talk. I feel very bro

Anne. But you'll have to try not
to feel badly" And he asked how
Mona had taken it. Il guess it hits
Mona pretty hard, doesn't it?"
Terribly"
When she had hung up he told
Paul Collier what had happened.
It's a rotten shame" Collier
said. but he. too, agreed that Eva
mad done wisely. 1T would be a
good thing" he said earnestly. IF
a few thousand more of them
packed up and went home; they'd
save themselves a lot of grief.
Paul declared that sometimes
when he got to thinking of the
extras he felt very blue. Positively
I know a few, and I'll swear I don't
see how they get along. And there
are lots of them worse of than Eva

after a while he laid what he had

him to read it.
It was a column about the Hol-

about an army that was foredoomed
to failure.
Dan. when he had read it, nodded
~approvingly and declared it was a
pretty piece 81 writing. Paul, he
thought, ought to try his hand at

CONNUNISTIC PHILOSOPHY

At meeting of Communists and interested if not smiling citizens in this city the other day various statements were made about capi- talists and their alleged responsibil- ity in bringing about an era of job less prosperity for sundry thou sands.
 We have no brief for the capital ists. But if we know anything at all about the cagerncss of these gentle men for profit we feel certain they would like nothing better than to sec their plants running 100 per cent capacity.
 A periodical period of mcmploy- mcnt happens to be ono of the few important problems of life that human ingenuity has not yet solved. Wild statements based on prejudice and hatred will not solve them The Communists make too many wild statements.
 When this problem is finally solv- ed it will bc found that Communists had no hand in it at all The capi- talists themselves, though they may not be without fault. probably will have q much bigger hand in solving the problem than those who spout much and do little.

Again, he may have decided that he had won honors enough for one man. What ever his reason was, the question of his potential power in another po- litical battle will not be answered unless he decides at some future lime to try 10 regain the eminencc from which he is descending. Close friends of the mayor admit that he made many enemies during the last year. But a mayor who fears to make enemies is q weaklinS. and no one can accuse Paonessa of being that. For every enemy he made, he possibly added a friend. If he had run again the contest that would have resulted would have been worth while watching.

\ LOBBYIST AT THE HELM

Though the grand old party may be swimming in an ocean of satiS- faction over the fact that inroads have been made into the low-tariff sectors previously held by the Sen Of this joy when it contemplates Mir. Claudius H. Huston. the versatile chairman of the Republican na- tional committee.
 It is no pleasant view to sec Mir. Huston barred by the wicked lobby investigating committee as an ac- complshed Muscle Shoals lobbyist and power plenipotentiary.
 Mr. Huston was appointed to the national chairmanship because he was considered an able and consci- cntious political leader; also be- cause he could be counted upon to operate a sort of N-ray machine which could ascertain how much funds were idle in the pockets Of potential contributors to the Re publican campaign chest. That, in deed, is the main function of na- tional chairman.
 It was not suspected perhaps, that at the same time Mr. Huston would be publicly discovered as q power lobbyist in Washington, one who worked with energy and thor oughness to have the Government lease Muscle Shoals to private in terests with which he had a lowing acquaintance.
 It was not suspected, either, that Mr. Huston had margin accounts on the stock exchange, although he was fortunate in his transactions and thus able to return such funds as he borrowed from various sources of which the committee was duly appriscd by the reluctant stock broker firm handling his account.
 Now, in order to avoid the Demo- crats using Mir Huston as horrl- ble example, he is being asked to resign by some gentlemen in the party.

was hard to handle and did not get handled very definitely by those agencies of private and public con- trol coming into contact with him during his formative years. He got the notion that a good time was more satisfying than work. His ideal of the fraternal spirit was a hang out" where cronies of an equally un. stable temperament spoke vile language and planned dire deeds.
 How the means to go joy riding concurs with the ideals of youthful gangstcrs. To steal an automobile is considered the easy way to attain that plcasurable excitement. And after Brophy and his gang had sto- cn q car, what happened when watChtul policeman made inquiry? The policeman was shot from be- hind the back, killed because these youths with unstable temperaments did not consider a mans life worth q ride in an automobile. Had they permitted themselves to be taken 70 police station the charge against them would have been stealing the car. That would have meritcd pun iahmcnt. But Brophy of unstable temperament, but Withal dcspcr- ado, preferred to risk the pcni- tcntiary for life if he could keep the car after killing the policeman.
 It is needless to recount the other incidents that followed. the battles with police, the wounds inflicted, his final capture. Brophy had gone too far to retreat, and the last shot was fired when the last bullet was gone, The police, stable and rclent- less, got their men.
 Just another gang broken up," the thoughtlcss reader might ru- minato. But the point is that other gangs arc manufactured through the play Of the same cnyironmental deficiencies that created the Brophy gang. An observing person sees their making on every hand. One needs only to sec their actions while boys, 10 listen to stray bits of their conversation, to note their tendencies toward mischief, 10 come to no oth- CT conclusion.
 The law takes an efficient hand after such gangs commit thclr dcprodations. What is being done to stop the development of such public menaces?
 It seems to be nobody's business until something happens.

COMMUNICATED
Quotes Corrupt Practice Act

 MT. Editor:
 Please give space to this COn- munication. During campaign times those especially interested get eN- cited or over zcaloVs. They some times make promises which they should know, or those that make them should know. that it is very uncertain as to their being carried out.
 The announcement some two weeks ago of candidates for the office of town and city clerk is an example. There were statements of appointing to, or 10 keeping ]n office, the present occupant. They know, or should know, that they are not sure of an election, (and all the candidates cannot be clccted and if any one of them is elected, the office of deputy is subject to the approval of the mayor
 We do not know who will be elect cd to that office, and we would not know what he would approve of, if we llfcW who was to be elected mayor. Then, there is the Contin- gcncy of family. friends, the polit- ical organization, and others, who might bring pressure for or against this, or that one which makes for further uncertainty. Furthermore, we have state law. called the Corrupt Practice act, Chap. 56, See. G79.
 CD Every person who in order to secure or promote his own nom- inaton or election, as a candidate for public office or that of any other person who shall directly or indirectly promise to appoint, or promise to secure, or assist in scCur- ing the appointment or the nomina- ton or election of any other per son for any public position, or of any position of honor, trust ol cmolumcnt.
 Sec. GS4: Every person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter, for the violation of which no other penalty is provided, or who shall be guilty of any cor Iupt practice, shall be fined not
 
 more than two years, or both.
 The prc-election promises put out by some of the candidates if not directly violating the law, come quite close to the border of doing so. It would seem to me that pcU- pie acting in the manner noted bv their announcements in your issues of March ! and 1. do not show that knowledge of proper political ethics, or desire to so act as one would like 10 have in the office, they are candidates for, and thc best way 10 show friendship for Colonel Thoml,- son is 10 rCnominate and elect him once more. If this is done you will hc sure there will be no slips, anl your good wishes for him will bs carried out in practical form.
