BY HARRISON CARROLL

HOLLY WOOD, March 10.
Aqua Caliente, playground of the
movie stars, will be the setting
for Eddie Quillan's next film.
The picture really will be shot
at the famous Mexican resort and
will be story of its race track.
1t is an original by Lew Upton,
called "the whoop-te-do kid"
Quillan plays a jockey who regu-
lates the speed of his mount by
leaning over it's shoulder and
chanting "whoop-te-do, whoop-te-
do" The horse responds to the
rhythm.
This device is based on fact,
and the jockeys who use it are
called "whoop-te-do" jockeys.
Readers of this column may
recall that THE Kid From Mad
rid' recently was announced as
Quillan's next picture. It is
being postponed because the rae
ing scenes for the Upton story
must be shot before the close Of
the Aqua Caliente season.
BY the way, there will be no
crooked work or doped horses in
THE Whoop-Te-Do-Kid." Any Of
these things would reflect upon
the track, which is one of the
most famous in the world.
Jim Mitchell tells the story
about the producer who addressed
reporters: with great actors.

make great pictures. We have

 Trap Line Registration
 The subject of registration of trap-line4 was again carefully stud ied. AS the plan involves so many difficult questions that must be satisfactorily worked out before suitable legislation can be propos- ed, the Commission has again de fcrred taking any action.
 ''To obtain much needed addition al information, the Commission has prepared form of questionnai"e which soon will be placed in the hands of the game wardens for distribution among trappers and other interested persons. It is hoped that the trappers of Alas ka will respond to the Commis- sion's request and aid it to obtain additional information by getting a copy of this cuestionnaire from the nearest game warden and complet- ing it. The Commission will also appreciate any suggestions that any one may care to offer on a plan of registering trap lines. The Commission is confident that registration of trap lines on satisfactory basis would be Of double benefit. It would give a large measure of protection to each trapper, now unavailable, by pre- ventingothers from encroaching oa the areas covered by his license. It would also make it profitable for the trapper to protect the ami mals, permitting the breeding stock to increase, spd thus insure him of a normal take every season."

Stolen Cars Recovered

Some time between IL and one
O'Clock Wednesday morning, Atty
Clair A. Young's Chevrolet coupe
was stolen from in front of his res
idence. 1t was recovered abandoned
at Coal Run, the parties taking it
having left it at that place. Wed
nesday morning Chrysler coupe
was found here at the Deedrick fill
ing station, abandoned, and out of
gas 1t was found to be the prop
erty of Harold G.. Kruise of Zanes-
vile, Metropolitan Insurance agent
The party had evidently taken the
machine in GAINESVILLE, driving here.
and when the gasoline ran out,
abandoned it, and took Atty
Young's car. Kruise's machine
was not damaged, but Mr.. Young's
was in bad condition. Mr. Young
had drained the radiator and left
the pet cock open. The parties
taking the machine stopped at Deed
rick's filling station here, and filled
it with water, and proceeded on
their way, and when the water ran
out, it caused the engine to be SO
badly damaged that they had to get
wrecking car to take it to Ma
rietta for repairs. 1t is stated that
the guilty parties-two men. walk
ed from Coal Run into Marietta,
and Sheriff Adrean and Atty Young
went to that place, but failed to
find them.
It was later learned that they
were two boys of presumably about
IT years of age.
