Rogers Born
A Politician

VIII Rogers was born on November
4, 1879, and it has recently been dis
covered that this day fell on a Tues
day, a day on which the country was
in throes of an election. This may,
possibly, explain why Rogers has al
ways been so deeply interested in the
politics of the United States.
Rogers, however, refuses to take
politics seriously, even pointing the
finger of humor at his own party
the Democrats.
Recently. for instance, when he was
called upon to introduce the Repub-
lican Governor Rolph at q Hollywood
gathering, Rogers said:
"You know, I'm not a member of
any political organization myself; I'm
a Democrat"
In "Too Busy To Work." his latest
Fox picture, coming to the Paramount
Theatre Monday, the celebrated wit
and philosopher pokes more than hts
usual amount Of fun at politics, but
does not confine his drolleries to this
subject.
He portrays the role Of q whimsical,
wandering vagabond who devotes his
activities to search for the man who
ran away with hts wife and daughter
while he was fighting in the war. He
eventually finds the man and his
daughter. but while he reveals himself
to the man. he refuses to unveu his
identity to the daughter for fear Of
running her happiness and blasting
the romance he discovers slae y en-
joyins.

WRONG BOY

sAUGUS, Mass, March 8
G.N.SO.-Albert Fiske, 9-year-old
school boy, was kidnapped by two
men in an automobile and after
long questioning in the Marble
head woods, was released as mot
the kid they wanted"
Although the kidnapping took
place yesterday afternoon as
young Fiske was returning from
school, it was not revealed until
today, when police began a search
for the kidnapers.
Young Fiske was brought to his
home late last night in an auto
mobile by a woman, whose name
police refused to reveal.
She found the youth wandering
several miles from home in the
vicinity of Swampscott.
Fiske told police that an auto
mobile with two men drove up to
him on Chestnut Street as he was
returning to his home from school.
One of the men asked him
directions to a street. When he
approached nearer the car, the
man pulled him into the auto
mobile and sped away.

.CH|[D'S BURDEN
|. IS TEACHER

The burden Of keeping the
community on the straight and
narrow path rests with the school
teacher.
This was the gist Of an address
made today by DR.. F. j. Kelley,
of the Office of Education, before
the fifteenth annual conference
of the north Atlantic and
southern region groups of home
economics education at the Ward
man Park Hotel.
Destructive movies and pool
rooms after school hours undo
the good which the teacher may
accomplish, DR.. Kelley declared.
With this in mind, teachers
must assume the responsibility
Of 24-hour job. Apathetic to
conditions which exist around
them in some cases, the teachers
must awake to the situation and
must train their students in the
