 But Finland, says this enthusias- tic, alert newspaper woman, can give the United States a sugges- ton, too. Well-to-do families there have as guest each night at dinner an unemployed man. Each family takes a different man every day.

McLaglen in "A Devil with Women on For Last

Victor McLaglen in "A Devil With Women will be shown to- night at the Coliseum for the last time.
 The story, laid in an imaginary Central American country during a bandit uprising brings new Me- Laglen to the screen--a weather beaten, sardonic, jovial, practical soldier of fortune, whose sword is at the service of whatever country offers the most excitement. It is an intensely human and appealing role and fits McLaglen like glove.
 McLaglen is in charge of the customs at the country's chief sea- port The excitement starts with the arrival of a beautiful senorita who attempts to smuggle machine guns to the revolutionists, and of a young tourist who gallantly takes her part, mourning McLaglen's dis pleasure. ttsT f#iiS'

They manage to escape, and subsequent ly rescue still another damsel from some of the bandits men. Though their mutual danger has turned the pair from rivals to buddies, they find themselves rivals for the giri.
 The rest of the story is too en- tertaining- and thrilling-to be re- vealed here, but it provides whirl- wind ending to as excellent ve- hicle as McLaglen has ever had.

 Lomski said he has not boxed for four months and is not in con- dition.
 Of course I realize it would be no disgrace to be knocked out by Jack Dempsey, for it is my opinion that even at this early date of his comeback period he looks able and ready to knockout any man who will stand up and fight him. How ever I would rather that was to be someone else than Leo LomSki," the Aberdeen fighter said.
 Lomski sponsored the show at Aberdeen Wednesday in whic h Dempsey cuffed several heavies around the ring.

TITLE, CALLS|T
MISFORTUNE
Mrs. Bertrand Russell Says
Hereditary Honors Should
Not Exist in a Republic

LONDON, March 81 U.SO
Another prominent Englishwoman
has renounced a title. She is Mrs.
Dora Winifred Russell, one of the
few aristocrats who are members
Of the British Socialist party.
J. When her husband, the author
philosopher, succeeded to the Earl
dom Of Russell, after the death OF
his. brother, the late underSecre-
tary for India, he did not re-
nounce the title.
Calls 1t Misfortune
But Mrs. Russell, who refuses to
be known as the Countess Rus
sell, has an instructive dislike to
titles, even though her own father
was listed in Burke's Peerage. In
her prepeeress days she never
tackled "the Hon." on her name,
although such was her right.
Mrs. Russell wrote "The Right
Co Be Happy" in 1927, and was a
Socialist candidate for a con-
efituency embracing Chelsea, Lon
dDn's Greenwich Village. Mrs
Russell says:
81 am declining to be deSCrib-
ID as q countess simply because
& do not believe in hereditary
titles. 1t is q misfortune that
heredity makes me a countess.
- N~sASo:-ns Cn1Ioo mrva~
- SIn a democracy all people
should be Of the same rank. 1
nm a member Of the Socialist
party, and no member Of that
party should bear a title, al
though some do"
Lady Cynthia Mosley, M. P,
Lord Curzon's daughter and wife
of Sir Oswald Mosley, tried to
shed her title some time ago, but
eventually accepted the inevitable
and retained it.
MRS. Sydney Webb, when her
husband became Lord Passfield,
also declined to accept the title,
and is known as Mrs. Sydney
webb, to the great confusion #
some people. In print, notices
Of her appearance with her hus-
Band are always Lord Passfield
and Mrs. Sydney Webb"
The bracketing of Earl Rus
sell and Mrs. Bertrand RUSSELL
will be more understandable. Mrs.
Ellsseu for years has been a
strong advocate of companionate
marriage, sex reform. birth con-
troll and other provocative sub,
5ects.
