Coins used in the central and southern part of the island contain images cf animals. One shows a hen and chicks another has a large pig anl many little pigs. The horse, the dog, the salmon, and the rabbit are pictured on other coins.
 A contest was held for the best designs before the coins were made. The winner was a man who lived in country whic has often carried on warfare with people on the island.
 If you need more hints to guess the name of the island, I may add that it is known as a home of wit and humor, and that it's people arc kind hearted, though they som etimcs display quick and fiery tempers.
 The climate is mild. but there is heavy rainfall. The rain causes plants and trees to grow thickly, and because there is so much green We often cal lit the Emerald Isle." The shamrock Ga form of clover), and the Larp are used as symbols by people living in the general and southern parts.
 Your scissors will have plenty ot exercise when you cut around the pieces of the island. This points to the fact that there are many inlets and bays around the coast. There are eight pieces to the puzzle. Be sure not to lose one before you get htem put together.

-(UP)-Marlene Die- trich. the German importation who esta ablished herself on the American screen in Morocco" won her screen chance principally through one sem tence spoken in English:
 Three cheers for the gentleman who has won the grand prize"
 She was appearing on the stage in Berlin in "Zwei Kravatten," a musi- cal show currently popular, and the sentence was part of her role.
 Josef von Sternberg. American motion picture director in Germany at that time to direct Emil Jan nings's first all talking vehicle, "The Blue Angel" was experiencing difH- culty in finding a leading woman. The picture was to be made in both German and English.
 we had cabled to America, of fering the part to Gloria Swanson" von Sternberg said. "She was un- able to accept. Then we cabled Phyllis Haver, who had played op-
 posite Jannings in his first American picture, The Way of All Flesh She cabled back that she had retired. "I was on the point of returning to America when I chanced in at a performance of 'Zwei Kravatten.' I | arrived at the theater rather late in the first act, just in time to hear ! a young woman propose, in English, | three cheers for certain gentleman. The actress was Marlene Dietrich. sent my card back stage, made an appointment for her to see me at | the UFA studio and the following day she was signed for the part in The Blue Angel"
 Miss Dietrich's English line in the German musical play was her only bit of dialogue in that language
 in the piece. Her part was that of an English woman and she spoke in that tongue to establish her identity ] for the benefit of the audience.

Which ought to make something turn over in its grave. Advertisement-Ye editor again solicits suggestions on what to do with Christmas cards, seeing as no one sent him a Wastebasket, as usual.

 One Hollywood scene of Winnie me a lot of good out here in the skyscraper belt. One ebony cane, which l cant use until I inherit silk topper. One wallet which has my name spelled wrong. One pack age of initialed cigarettes, with the wrong initials. One metal card from old Joe Cahill out in Cheyenne.
 All right, what am l offered?
 Youll hear pretty soon that Charlie Chaplin has gone in for pretty society damsels for 0 change.
 The editor saw Ina Claire and Fredric March at a picture show here less than a fortnight ago.
 One gent who thinks he's funny sent us New Year order on g. bank that closed it's doors a few weeks back.
 They do say that Bob Garland, the drama critic, has a crush on Queenie Smith, of the music shows And Lillian Roth, the movie actress, is scheduled to get married hereabouts after the first of the year.
 Frank Campbell. the big under taker and burial gent, presented New York scrihes with alarm clocks just to let them ponder over the fact that he'll get 'em sooner or later. And don't be surprised if you read that William Fox is back in pictures-in person-before long.

IMMIGRANTS TURN
 TO LATIN AMERICA

Rio de Janeiro-The restrictive i'm migration policy adopted by the Uni- ted States government a few years ago has been a boon to Latin Ameri- can countries, which depend largely on immigration for their future eco- homie development.
 Since Uncle Sam put of the bars to keep down unemployment and protect his own nationals, European immigrants who normally would have entered the United States have gone to Centra and South Amer ican countries instead. In three years the influx from the old world, and even Canada, has grown considerably and is steadily increasing.

Between the infection and the

Such is the explanation given
by DR.. w. H. Manwaring, of Stan
