STATE LEGION MEN

Fargo, N. D., Feb. ~e.-A)-World

financial assistance to come out OF

meeting In Washington lest week.
The state delegation returned to
Fargo Sunday, Jack Williams, state
adjutant Of the American Legion,
continuing through to Bis1a arch
where he will confer on veterans at
fairs coming before the state legis-
lature.
In tho delegation besides Mr.. WI
ltalns were T. o., Kraabel, state vet
Grams service commissioners, and g. z.
Hoverson, regional manager Of the
veterans bureau here. Mr.. Hoverson
Is not q member Of the rehabilitation
committee but was called to the ma
tlonal bureau and found Il 'possihle to
make his trip coincide with the other
delegates.
Sentiment at the national capital
Is that It will be impossible to make
immediate cash payment Of the Ad-
justed service certificates, the North
Dakota delegates said.
Couldn't Float Loan
The financial condition Of the
country and government now forbids
floating q loan large enough to make
full payment possible, they were told.
Payment Of the certificates would
necessitate raising Of $3.500,000.0 600
and q majority Of the national Lead
erS are convinced this Is an impos-
sibility under present conditions.
The favored proposal now Is in

Personal friends Of the states three

fronted with the problem g I result

Of what division Of the stats win be
made, or whether any division ct Ill
will be made, Is the matter OF per-

Car said.
II think that the matter Of person.
al friendship Is = more potent factor
than any other at this time.
Naturally the personal followers
and personal friends Of the different

declared.
1.-THE estimated value Of our dairy

Of our wheat crop.
THE dairy industry Of this state
needs such encouragement, assist

it through legislation. It Is pretty
generally conceded by all parties. and
all factions that state legislation can
do but little toward resting the price
do but little toward restoring the price

is by protecting the dairy end Of his

Bills Incorporating these points are
now before the legislature.
Discussing taxation, Carr pointed
out that state taxes amount to about
IL per cent, while local taxes como to
around 90 per cent Of the total tax
burden.
Efforts are being made by the ad-
m~inistration, he added, to keep state
taxes to q minimum, ''but after that
is done, it will not furnish much re-
lief In your total tax burden, unless

rather than an exemplification Of
the art of an actress. So I was
agreeably surprised. For Mae
west is an actress of definite and
secure talents. You may have
SHINING sisters Of the Lenore Uric
and Francine Larrimore school,
but Mae West can trump their
trollops. Her Babe Gordon is a
girl who knows all the answers in
the book Of sin.
This Babe Gordon has a sort
of challenging strut. nasal twang
and a propensity for wisecrackS,
generally smutty. Her statuesque
beauty is invariably garbed in
clinging gowns or filmy negligees
to accentuate the most striking
values. The well-cared-for blonde
tresses crown a face that is
heavily rouged to veneer the lines
of dissipation. She looks like the
comfortable "it" girl OF the late
3O's, a bit frayed around the
edges but still generating allure.
Where She Erred
AS limned by Mae West it
seemed to me that Babe Gordon
took a particular delight in spout
ing her soiled witticisms. So
much so that those which hit the
bullseye squarely were followed by
muttered asideS, a Ia the self
satisfied vaudevillian. Apart from
this the Mae West performance
was we'll measured. carefully
drawn and unpleasantly realistic
portrait of a woman minus morals
and a normal sense Of decency.
AS well-acted role decidedly
worth watching.
Vivid Chapters
Those who have read the flam-
ing chapters Of the Mae West
novel from which THE Constant
Sinner" is derived are aware of
its indelicacies. It sets forth how
Babe Gordon came into the life
of one Bearcat' Delaney, prize
fighter; how he offered her matri-
mony, how she became a pointed

joints, peddled dope, became the
central character in a murder,
attained a Riverside Drive apart
ment, tasted joy and sorrow in
the most convenient arms. Babe
Gordon lived.
Good Support
There was good acting to sup
port the consuming performance
of the star. Particularly that
offered by Adele Gilbert, Russell
Hardie, Walter Glass and Arthur
r. Vinton. Also there was excel
lent stage direction with the
Kaleidoscope changes of scene
being efficiently contrived.
She was a bad woman but
good company" was the way one
of the exiting audiences expressed
it last night. That tells the story
in eight words Or as Mae West
