PRESIDENT OFF
ON SEA JAUNT
TOMORROW
Accommodations Are Limited
and Many Who Wanted to
Make Voyage Can't Go

Col. E. w. Startling. assistant
chief of the White House Secret
Service, hoped off from Miami
early today to- fly to Porto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, where he
will make advance arrangements
for President Hoover's visit,
He had journeyed overnight by
train to Florida to make connec-
tionS with a passenger airplane.
His First Air Trip
Although the Colonel has had
an eventful life, it was his first
experience in the air. He left
Washington nonchalantly, how
ever, LrOmising that everything
would be in apple pie order when
the President reaches his deStina-
tiOn in the Caribbean. The
1,60O-mile flight over the ocean
did not seem to impress him as
being anything more than part
Of days work.
Meanwhile word came up from
Norfolk that the battleshiD Ari-
zona. which will take Mr.. Hoover
and his party on the Today
cruise. was ready to sail. The
President will leave here tomor-
morrow night by special tram for
the Virginia naval base and
Thursday morning early the big
dreadnaught will weigh anchor.
Accommodations Limited
Capt. Russell Train, White
House naval aide, who is said
to have pursuaded the President
to take this much-needed vaca-
tion, and who pointed out that
the Arizona, just reconditioned
and modernized. had to make
ten-day "shake-down" run regard
less. was busy between the execu-
tive offices and the Navy De-
partment with last-minute de-
tails.
Secretary Lawrence Richey
checked lists and soothed quite a
few newspaper correspondents
who had been taken by the at
tractiveness of the trip and
wanted to go, but who couldn't
because of the limited accommo-
dations aboard the battleship.
Capt. Joel T. Boone, the White
House physician, announced he
had his kit packed with remedies
for SeasickneSS, although he pre-
dicted smooth sailing.
Porto Rico Is First
The first port of call will be
San Juan. Porto Rico. The Presi-
dent plans to spend two days and
a night there, comforting with
Governor General Theodore Roose-
velt on economic and social prob
lens confronting the island. A
motor trip across Porto Rico also
is planned.
From San Juan, the Arizona
will cruise to st. Thomas, Virgin
Islands, famous for the manu-
facture of bay rum Mr.. Hoover
will spend only a day there
Paul Pearson, the new governor,
and first civilian executive under
the recent order which trans
ferred the islands from the Navy
to the Interior Department, has
just arrived himself. Then, the

POPULAR LEW AYRES IN NEW HIT UP FOR MURDER AT
 WARMERS STATE SATURDAY

Tomorrow marks the opening of up for Murder" the Universal love drama which has been described as one of the outstanding pictures of the current season, and which comes to the Warner Bros State theater for an engagement of four days.
 Lew Ayres and Genevieve Tobin, two of the most popular of the screen newer plays, appear in this production, which is powerful love drama, told against the seething ac- tivities of a great newspaper office. The story is a constant succession of dramatic situations brought about by the existence of ''the eternal trl- angle" in which the cub reporter and the society editor are unmarried but the publisher is not.
 It is when the young reporter, having fallen desperately in love with the conductor of the society column, discovers the existing situa- tion that he takes matters into his own hands and brings about a trage- dy that seriously affects each one or the three principal characters. In addition to Ayres and Miss Tobin, prominent roles in up Tor Murder" are played by Dorothy Peterson, Frank McHugh and Rich ard Tucker. A special program of short subjects accompanies the feat ure presentation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-12

Courage is important in the ad- venture of our career. The brave man or the brave woman will try always to help along the cause of justice and truth. In. any life, no matter where or how it is lived, there will be hardship and there will be sorrow. If we feel, right inside ourselves, that we are doing our very best, it will help us no mat ter what problems we may face.
 ITO keep on learning!" If a student should receive a dozen degrees, there would be still more in the world for him to learn. The more we learn, the more we see the opportunity to learn. We are citizens of a magic world, and it is a wonder without end.
 Sometimes We may be so firmly set on what we want to do that we forget others who are struggling for objects which they think worth while. Success may be, and often is, worthy object; but if we strive for personal success. we should never do 1t at the price of trampling on our fellows. The earth is richly stored with bless ings for mankind; and some day hope 1t will provide happy. joyous lives for all men, women and children who breathe.
 True success, 1t seems to me, is measured by what wo do to build a better world.

BUCK JONES IN "MEN
 WITHOUT LAW" AND ssRANGOo AT NEW GARDEN

Buck Jones, daredevil cowboy of films, star of Men Without Law" |" Columbia feature now showing at the New Garden theater, was born, in Vincennes, Indiana. He was a cow boy in Montana, a member of the United States cavalry in the Philip pines expert rider with Miller Broth CTS "101" Wild West Show, in the First Air Squadron during the World War and entertainer of European royalty by exhibition riding. Con- sidered most expert rider in films.
 "Men Without Law" is an unusual "western"-it has war background. It gives the star, Buck Jones. more opportunity for straight acting than the average western" permits. Ap- bearing opposite him is the attractive Carmelita Geraghty. Louis King di- rected.
 The companion feature is "Rango." The greatest picture thrill of 1881.
 Here is what one Hollywood writer says about "Rango."-
 "Rango" is brittle with suspense. A deadly python, slithering silently through the night. A 1.-the black panther lurking in the shadows. A pair of marauding tigers stalking the jungle trails, striking fear into the hearts of the Jungle folk. Such mo- ments as these sharpen the drama of "Rango."
 And for a climax--a scene no cam era has ever caught before. A bat tie to the death between two mad dened beasts.
 A terrifcally stupendous film. One of the worlds greatest.
 Other pictures are a new chapter of "The King of the Wild" and Toby the Fiddler"

LORETTA YOUNG IN "BIG
 BUSINESS GIRI' CLOSING TONIGHT AT WARMERS STATE

"Big Business Girl", with Loretta Young in the leading role, closes its local arrangement at Warner Bros State tonight.
 The story on which the picture is based, appeared first in serial In a popular magazine and then as best selling novel, so that the characters were already well known. That they have permanent entertainment value is proved by their success.
 Miss Young plays the captivating heroine. Mac, a college girl, who is undecided between her love for young Johnnie Saunders, leader Of the University orchestra, and an un- uuenchable desire to win career TOT herself in the world of big business. John sails to Paris with his orches- tra for the summer, after hndlng himself unable to dissuade her from her ambition. Mac goes to New York and after discouraging weeks lands a job in an advertising agency not of her merits, but because Clay ton, the big boss, likes her looks.
 John unexpectedly returns from Paris to be with Mac, whom he has clandestinely married. They quarrel find part, Without Johns knowledge Mac uses influential friends she has won through her acquaintance with Clayton to help her alienated hus- band to win success in the musical world.
 Clayton proposes marriage-John storms-a catty patroness of the young husband connives-Clayton tells the unhappy girl that John plans a divorce--a clever divorce CO., respondent appears on the scene and the story climbs up to an un- expected but gratifying climax.

New York.-Friends who gad

 They'll trot all over the world, wis., |iting battlegrounds and cathedrals, but Harlem to them will always be la part of town filled with "hot" negro cafes; a section to be visited |early in the morning when there is nowhere left to go. When you sug- gest that it was also the scene of one of General Washington's very important engagements, you get 8 yawn.
 When you add that history fairly jumps out and bites you up and down the Hudson River, along Riverside Drive and even into Gen. tral Park, they invariably change the subject by asking what good shows are in town.
 This lethargy on the part of visitors is perhaps New York's own fault; and partially, no doubt, the fault of gents like myself who bring the subject up all too seldom. Now that I come to think of it, I cannot recall tourist who ever took an interest in chasing the American Revolution around this town; al-. though these very tourists will chase Napoleon all over Europe and Joan of Arc all over Europe.
 The horns that trumpet this phase of Manhattan have been muted for some year, though there are plenty of reference books on the subject. The tales that go forth in greatest profusion are those about Broadway and it's gay lights it's two-timers, its romantics and its tragedians. My recollection is that o.

 To be sure, a visitor to Paris wants to visit any number of side walk cafes and make a round of the shops in the Rue de la Paix- but, somehow, still finds time for a lot of serious sight seeing.

lall, when people complain to this department in tone of voice that lis slightly superior, and with a lis that all you've got around lhere ?" air-I grow slightly fius- tered and self-conscious.
 Now that I come to think about fit, I recall few residents of these parts who pay much attention to what is just around the corner, yet who also run to Europe in search |of romantic and historic spots.'
 Scarce one of them has ever zone to Long Island with any pur- pose other than to go boating, swimming or visiting friends. Yet Sag Harbor still has old homes shelled in the war of 1872; Indian trails cross the paths to Hoboken's beer resorts; and scattered relics of the revolutionary war are all over Long Island.
 As matter of fact, at this mo- ment there lies before me a modern guide book which, in reference to Harlem, says: "Erstwhile aristo- cratic brownstone houses now hold speakeasies, pool parlors and dance halls; swankily clad negroes strut their stuff; gifted negresses shout t0fCh DallaQS you II see things you never dreamed of in Paris"
 All of which is perfectly true.
 But it's also true that George Washington watched from the an- cient Apthorpe mansion until his troops had passed and the enemy had been sighted. The mounting his horse, he galloped to Harlem Heights and took Up headquarters in the deserted Mary Morris home. General Howe had ridden from Murray Hill, where J. Pierpont Morgan now lives, and made his way toward "the heights" There Washington with a thousand men less than the British forces. was victor in one of the decisive victories of the war. Howe's men were chased for two miles by the vic torious revolutionaries.
 And, somehow, when they're talk ing of Harlem gin and "hot spots," I wish they'd get to the ears of some of the younger generation that stir ring romance of the past is to be found all over Manhattan Isle, even if it's location is, frequently, just around the corner from a speakeasy.
