"WhO do yOu like best, Miss

Iva, I mentioned some days ago
that I had a mother and a strap
ping son on the Coast. These two
are naturally very close to me-of
course, I answer you in the per-
sonal sense that you write-and
next to these two is a little old
lady named Ma" La Varne.
Mum on Cigarettes
She appeared in Politics" with
me. Anyway, Iva. these three
rise as my nearest and dearest
relatives and friends. I'd really
like to know you better though.
Your letters seem very interest
ing.
"What brand Of cigarettes
do you use?" asks Georgia. See
ger.
Metro Goldwyn.Mayer prohibits
the use Of my name in any in.
dorsement, so I'll have to keep
mum on that one. What made
you think that I smoked, any
way?
DO 1 contemplate matri-
mOny?"
I've had such a hard time
choosing between John Gilbert.
William HaineS, Clark Gable,
Neil Hamilton and others on the
studio lot that I haven't quite
made UP my mind yet as to
which I prefer. Really, you
know, it pays one to be discrimi-
mating.
Then, There's Prohibition
Edna Sherman inquiries:
What do you think Of pro
hibitiOn?"
I think President Hoover is
great, Vice President Curtis is
wonderful, and the best lunch I
have had was in the Methodist
Board Building. Did I hear
some one say beer?
Yes, I know, good reader, I
have many questions to answer
yet, but how am to do them
when I must make five shows a
day and try to humor everyone.
To that very inquiSitive young
lady who has asked me that very
personal question for so many
days I promise to answer not
later than Friday. You see, I

Free transportation for high
school children will be inaugu-
rated when the Prince Georges
county school year begins Sep
tember l, according to Nicholas
Orem, county superintendent of
public schools. This innovation,
it was pointed out, will save
some pupils $40 per year, and
will cut off a revenue of $1,460.
collected annually by the school
board for such transportation.
This loss, however, will be more
than made up by the State
equalization fund, made available
to the county this year for the
first time.
Arrangements are now being
made to furnish students who
live in Mitchellsville with free
bus transportation to the high
school in Upper Marlboro. Last
year this group of pupils chart
cred their own bus.
A small bus for the convey
ance Of students from the vi
cinity Of Accokeek to the high
school at Oxon Hill also has been
obtained. A larger bus will be
furnished students Of Silecia and
Fort Foote. who also attend the
Oxon Hill school.
Seeking transportation for about
80 pupils from Glenn Dale and
vicinity to the Laurel High
School was sought by a delega-
tion headed by D. N. Hoover
Action on this matter was de-
ferred until it could be deter
mined what effect such action
would have on the Bowie High
School.
