The new Metro Goldwyn- Mayer
picture, which opens Friday at
Loews Palace, shows Miss Crawford
and Robert Montgomery in an in
tensely dramatic romance of modern
moral escapades. They play the son
and daughter Of millionaires, who
fall in love on a steamer, and,
through former indiscretions of the
girl, are plunged into a vortex Of in
trigue, mystery. and finally conflict
with the law, which is avoided by
an amazing dramatic climax.
Clarence Brown, director Of Pos
sessed," "A Free Soul" and other
hits, screened the new production in
which an elaborate cast appears.
Nils Asther, the famous Swedish
actor, plays the jealous South Amer
lean lover. Lewis Stone is seen as
the district attorney.
The heroine's mother is played by
Mary Robson, New York stage star,
and Louise Closer Hale, Emms
Dunn, Walter Walker and William
Pawley have prominent roles. John
Meehan adapted the story from the
sensational novel by Marie Belloc
Lowndes.

there every night. Sometimes he
goes to his brothers home-his
brother and sister-in-law are clerks
in his office-and sometimes he goes
to a hotel.
While Senator Trammell was dis
cussing his sleeping habits, another
suggestion was advanced in the
house for dealing with the con-
gressional pay roll racket. Rep"
resentative Wright Patman Dem,
Tex, proposed that the congress
sional pay roll be published once a
month so the taxpayers could know
the names Of all persons employed
by their representatives.
Wants Pay Roll Made Public
Representative Thomas G. Coch-
ran Dem, MO- called Patman's at
tention to the fact that all govern
ment pay rolls are made public.
THAT may be, but the information
is withheld so long that the facts
are obsolete" Patman replied.
Not until next winter will the
present pay roll be published. The
last list available now is for June,
1881.
Patman brought up the pay roll
matter during a discussion Of alleged
difficulties of finding out how public
funds are used. He said he knew OF
one instance in which it was inn
possible to learn who was on con-
gressman's pay roll.
Getting back to Senator Tram
nell, he explained thus his reasons
for sleeping in his office:
You'd be surprised how many
nights 1 am working in my Office
until midnight or later Sunday
night I was working until a. m.
Who's Business Is It?
"a fellow doesn't feel much like
walking several blocks to go to bed
at that hour. It is much more con-
venient to go to sleep on the couch
right there in the office. II I had a
family it would be different, but
just have myself"
The senator usually eats break
fast in the senate restaurant, and
then he is ready for good days
work for the people.
Senator Trammells domicile has
been no secret, for it has been men
toned by political opponents in
Florida. If they want to make ii
an issue, the senator is ready To
fight it out.
IF I want to sleep in my Office
thirty nights a month, I don't think
it is anybodys business" he said
why do they want to bother
about petty matters like that?"
Always Faithful Attendant
Senator Trammell is one Of the
most faithful attendants on the
senate floor. He is almost always,
no matter how dreary the debate,
to be seen, a handsome figure with
wavy hair swept back from broad
forehead, sitting in his seat in the
rear row, reading newspaper or
gazing about the chamber as If
immersed in deep thought.
He is always well dressed. Few
would pick him out as man who
was blazing the trail back toward
more simple living.
This, then, apparently is the
answer to those like Representative
IF. H. La Guardia (Rep., N. V,
who recently protested in the house
against cutting salaries on the
ground that congressman found
living very expensive here.

Buy Land, Live On It
for Three Years.

By UHffed Prcss
WASHINGTON. May 1l.-Migra-
ton Of perhaps 100000 country

COW for SIS and hos for 81. was
envisaged today by Representative
Clarence j. Mcleod CRep.. Mich9.
II his 500 900, 900 soldiers bonus
and emergency relief bill becomes
law.
The bill. introduced at a time
when other bonus legislation has
become stalemated. would pay off in
full the adjusted service certificates
Of veterans. who agree to procure
farms and live on them three years.
Mcleod explained that the pri-
mary purpose of his bill was TO free
urban charities OF part OF their
load, and send back to the land"
approximately 100000 individuals
veterans and their families. These
millions. Mcleod believed. would
revive trade by their farm pur-
chaSes.
At Least 20 Acres
The veteran, to benefit under the
bill, would be required to have a
farm Of at least twenty acres. He
could obtain It either through fed
eral land banks, gifts, or direct pur-
chase.
The Michigan Republican has
prepared statistics which he claims
show that for S37140 a veteran
could buy the land. equipment COR
tilling 1t, and the livestock needed
TO keep his family in food.
Mcleod divided the $37l.40 thus:
One horse. $50; one milk COW, SIS;
one hog, 81; one sheep, $40; chick
ems to supply meat and eggs, SO:
farm implements, s34; one used car,
$40; cost Of converting car into trac-
tor, $32; land at 81 an acre, $40;
total, s371.40.
Land at 81 an Acre
MY estimate of 81 an acre APP
plies to North Carolina. where
understand the choicest land can
be obtained for that price" Mcleod
said.
Il have found the Governors of
several states anxious to Cooperate
through their legislatures in estab-
fishing land grants, which means
the veterans in some instances
could get land free.
In addition, / am assured that
various railroads would offer cheap
rates to the veterans"
McLeod's bill also provides for
free distribution of sufficient grain
sterilization corporation wheat to
the farm minded" veterans, to help
provide food for their families and
livestock for one year.
Unlimited land is available for
the purpose, he declared, estimating
that twelve federal land banks have
acquired 100000 acres through
foreclosures, that 177,OO0,000 acres
still are available under the home
stead act, and that thousands Of
farms could be obtained cheap due
to nonpayment Of mortgages.
His bill is to be considered by the
house ways and means committee.
