The Old Racket Costs
Him 8,OOO-In
Pennies

DENVER, April 20.-A penny
isn't much money, but 5000
pennies make $50, and that is
real money,
So when a stranger suggested
to D. H. Morse that they match
pennies, Morse didn't think it
was dangerous game.
So Morse and the stranger
and a friend of the stranger
matched pennies while walking
along a Denver street. The
game was the old three-mar
matching game, which is a very
safe game, providing you have
an understanding with one Of
the other Watchers.

MARION DAVIES
HOSTESS At
FILM PARTY
Farewell to Norma Shearer
And ThaIberg Occasion of
"OId Heidelberg" Reception

HOLLYWOOD, April 20 (U.SO
It was to the music Of an old.
fashioned German band, COM
plete with mustaches and "oom-
pahs," that Hollywood bade bon
voyage Saturday night to Mr..
and Mrs. Irving Thalberg Norma
shearer), who leaves today Tor
o three months vacation.
Marion Davies was the hostess,
Of course, for no Hollywood party
would be complete without her as
the presiding genius.
Party Is Informal
The farewell celebration, held
at Miss Davies beach home, was
just such a party as could be
staged only by the famous folk of
Hollywood at their most informal
best; the best that is only
guessed by audiences who see
them only on the screen.
Hundreds of gaily colored lights
shed their glow over the gardens
and the terraces of the big, hos
pitable white house at Malibu.
It was just such party as
Miss Davis gifts as a hotess
would have staged-an informal,
friendly gathering, with screen
and stage stars contributing their
talent to make an evening long
to be held in memory.
Dressed as Students
Not even the most dignified
director or producer could have
stayed long upon his dignity
when the rules of the evening
required that he lay aside the
formal tail-coat of etiquette for
q gorgeously braided Heidelberg
students outfit. and that he don
q perky little cap.
If dignity still persisted, the
tempting notes of the band-one
Of those old-fashioned German
bands that used to go "oom-pah,
oom-pah" under ones windows
would have broken down the last
barriers Of formality.
Dinner preceded the dance and
the informal entertainment of the
evening; dinner that was in keep
ing with the Heidelberg theme of
the affair.

Benny Leonard

NEW YORK, Oct. 7. U.P)-Even
though Benny Leonard remained
out of the ring for seven years, he
apparently kept in close enough
touch with boxing to learn modern
practices.
Benny no longer is the shifting
shadow VINO ruled the lightweight
class from 1917 until he retired un-
dcfeated-and Independently veal
thy-in 1924 Instead, the Leonard,
who made his comeback" debut
last night with a two round knock
out" over Pal Silvers of Brooklyn,
Is a pudRy. slow footed old man of
80. making a desperate effort to
recoup the fortune lost in stock
speculation.
Benny scored his knockout" in
the manner made famous-or in
famous, If you will-by Primo Car
nera. The spectators, who sat in
stunned silence as the once unhit-
table Leonard had his face peppered
red by an opponent who wouldn t
have been considered worthy of
carrying the gloves of the Leonard
of a decade ago, greeted Silvers'
dive" with boos and catcalls, and
for the first time in his career,
Leonard was hooted as ne left the

Ell Centro certainly should pre-

National Fire Prevention week and
the annual cleanup campaign have
done their best to rid the city of
refuse and trash.
Residents in all parts of the city
are responding to the appeal to
clean their premises and rid the
city of fire menaces, according to
Fire Chief Tom Reams.
Inspection Of the south side OF
town resulted in favorable reports
being turned into Headquarters
Vacant lots have been cleared of
weeds and trash and alleys swept
clean of debris and collections of
rubbish.
Civic pride demands that resi-
dents respond to the annual appeal
to make the city a cleaner and more
attractive place in which TO live"
said Chief Reams today and safety
demands that the danger of fire
be reduced to minimum. We are
pleased with the response SO far and
hope the good work will be con-
tinued througE7ut the week"
Trash and refuse must be collect
ed on the alleys SO that city trucks
may pick it up and carry it away.
When possible, debris should be
placed in containers as a means of
eXpediting the task of city work
men.
Residents who wish to hire men
to clean their property are asked
to telephone 664 and a man will be
sent at once. Or, should it be pre-
ferred, visit may be made to the
city engineers office and a man
personally selected from the list.
This is a means the city has taken
for providing work for the unem-
ployed.
