This sturdy Mexican Indian, on
whose keenness of eye and sureness OF
hand have depended the lives OF most
of Hollywood's great at one time or
another, about IS years ago brought to
pictures his skill with the knife, ac-
uuired as a boy when he was pony
herder in Mexico.
He was in the Universal Stock Co,
at S35 a week Steve was being lent
for his specially to other studios, so ne
decided to 60 out on his own and make
more. He has been free-lanctng ever
since.
He gets more if it Is a big star he
must "iust miss with his knife than
If it is an extra or bit player.
"If big star should imagine that
I have hurt him and set up a howl
then my reputation is hurt so I charge
more for this risk" he explained.
The only mishap he has ever had, he
SAYS, came because his target, supposed
to be fleeing him as he threw, became
so frightened he tried to outrun Steve

pectedly. The injury even then was
Slight.

This sounds good Of whether drink beer or

Moreover that is only what brewer will do if allowed
to.
For the whole country is estimated that brewers would
spend $200000000 for payros, supplies and improvements
within the year.
As for taxation Colonel Rupert points out that if the
Government levied So each barrel would get revenue
of $15000000 the first year and probably double that
amount the second.
This would help the budget considerably.
It's all reasonable sensible and NECESSARY that for

If any country needed jobs for its people, more
markets for its grain for its government and
power in dealing with its criminals this country needs
them.
Four per cent beer would give all these things. Yet
Congress has just thrown out four per cent beer BILL and
shows sign of considering any beer seriously

Combined the action of the two houses would cripple the Gov

Combined the action of the two houses would reach into every
hamlet the country telling the farmer that he must take less for

would be as sensible to give a

1t is more than absurd; it is
outrageous, for a judge to claim
that he protects womanhood by
such a procedure. He does not
protect womanhood. He breaks
down the decent standards Of

No young lady has her inno-

to. Ladies who wish to retain
their innocence can always do
dishwashing instead.
Practically every breach-of-
promise suit begins with some
sweet young thing visiting the
fascinating devils apartment
and drinking cocktails with
him as the evening shadows
fall. Did she go there to pick
daisies? Now I ask you!
An Awful Jolt
Then, after that, of course
there's nothing to do but quit
her job and let him support

Is it then too much to ask

Such, almost invariably, is

Here are the plain facts
about breach-of promise suits:
The Washington times., 1932-04-26

whose testimony the jury
admits it convicted that they
lied. And as a result the
jury that convicted has been
begging for years that
Mooney be discharged; and
the judge who sat in the
trial has joined in these per-
sistent appeals.
Interesting news, too,
from Europe and Asia. The
British are not pleased with
Chamberlain's action in ig-
noring the American debt in
his budget. Americans are
not alarmed by that omis-
sion. No people on earth
are more conscientious in
meeting their obligations
than the English; which is
one of the many reasons
they are a great people.
From Japan comes an illu-
mination of the policy in
Manchuria. With the de-
fiant speech of the minister
Of war we now know, what
we had suspected, that the
military clique overawes
and dominates the govern
ment.
The war lord announces,
with the rattle of a sword,
that Japan will do as it
likes in Manchuria despite
the protests of the League
and of the United States.
Japan might learn something
from the experience of Ger
many's war lords.
