HOLLYWOOD READS

And on the subject of books never can it be said that Holly wood, even that part of Hollywood which lacks Miss Cummings vora- oious interest in literature, does not read I have it from book seller friend that no sooner does a movie studio announce that 1t contemplatss filming a novel, old or new, than his shop is beset by actors who purchase that partic- ular book at once.
 Filming of a novel seems d. ways to stimulate the general pub lie to read it. For instance, since Sam Goldwyn made the picture, it's been struggle to find a copy of "Arrowsmith" on a public h- brary shelf, although before the films release, there were idle cop ies to spare.
 But this pre-filming interest in a book is peculiar to Hollywood My bookseller friend cited w. H. Hudson's Green Mansions as a recent example. For years a steady but not a rapid seller, this volume enjoyed great demand as soon as Radio announced it would film it.
 Ambitious actors always study  novels to be filmed in the hope of a part fo rthemselves in them. This is the first step in getting job, and the easiest. After that, it's simply a matter of convincing the casting director that one is the ideal, the only, &C., sor for that part--if it hadn't dropped entirely in the screen

Ex-Conuict Is
Beaten In Rolu

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10. U.P) =
Believed to have been beaten in a
quarrel over a woman, Charles
Stewart, 80. ex-convict, was near
death in an emergency hospital to-
day.
Clutching a few strands of red
hair in his hand, Stewart was
found unconscious in an eastside
gutter. Examination disclosed he
had suffered a basal skull fracture
and severe decorations.
Mrs. Irene Sherman, who lives
near the spot where Stewart was
found, told of having been aWak-
ened by loud quarrel between
three men and a woman, which
eliminated in a brawl between the
three men.
Stewart recovered consciousness
afterward only long enough to give
his name.
Police said he had been sent to
San Quentin in 1928 for theft OF an

RECALL STORM
Of YEAR AGO.

A cloudy sky this morning
brought back memories of a year
ago today, when the valley had an
enforced holiday, not listed in the
calendar.
Very little business was transact
ed in the valley on October 10.
1882, due to a severe rain which cut
off the electric power, leaving in
dustry at a standstill and working
a real hardship in homes, stores
and offices.
Starting IN on Saturday night,
October 8, the rain continued all
day Sunday, the ninth, and well
into Monday. A total of 21a inches
was recorded for the storm.
While the complete breakdown of
the power system was the most an
noying damage caused by the
storm, highways and crops also suf-
fered considerably.
Press files show blank space in
the section set apart for October
10, 1892 No power was Obtainable
until evening and then it was in
sufficient to operate the linotype
machines. The mechanical de-
partment had been sent home and
called back several times during the
day when there were indications
| that power service might be re-
sumed. 1t was finally decided to
omit the days issue.
1t is not likely the day will be
recalled with any pleasure at the
Southern Sierras Power company.
Officers and workmen were on
duty without interruption for over
two days as they strove to repair
the breaks in the power lines.
These had to be found, of course,
before they could be fixed, and the
company impressed airplanes into
service in order to conduct search
for them.
The breaks were finally patched
up late in the day SO that power
and light were available at night.
The storm caused Carl Ernst to
lose his appendix and gave friends
an idea of what Joe King looks
like with a beard 1t also gave
many a valleyite a new idea on the
Importance of electrical power in
everyday life.

MRS. O'LEARY'S COW

Poor old history keeps getting it in
the neck. We now know, or are supposed
to know, that Washington didn't cut
down cherry tree, neither did he cross
the Delaware standing in boat, nor
fling silver dollar across the Potomac.
Pershing didn't say, Lafayette we are
here; Steve Brodie fell off the bridge,
If he left the structure at all; Ethan AL
len didn't say anything about the Great
Jehovah and the continental congress
and Molly Pitcher was never anywhere
near cannon.
The history "debunkers' have taken
away all the fascinating traditions about
our most famous men, women, and
deeds.
The latest one to get it in the neck is
Mrs. O'Leary's cow. For generations we
have been told about poor Mrs O'Leary
milking her cow in little shed in Chi
cago by the light of an oil lamp. Bossy,
becoming rather restless, kicked over the
lamp. The result was the Chicago fire.
causing millions of dollars in damage.
Now no less an authority than, Mrs
OLeary's daughter, who knew the COW
personally Ga speaking acquaintance as
it were) comes forth with a strenuous de-
NAL that there was ever a kick from the
cow and that the whole story is fabri-
cation
Mrs. OLeary's daughter who is Mrs.
James R. Ledwell now, utterly eliminates
every vestige of the cow story, except to
admit that the family had COW.
Instead of the renowned bovine and
her neat little kick being the cause of the
confagration, Mrs. Ledwill lays it to
such a prosaic thing as beer drinkers in
the O'Leary barn, one of whom evidently
dropped lighted cigar in the hay.
Mrs. Ledwell should know of course,
and it seems presumptuous to disregard
her story, but that is what we are going
to do. Far be it from us to acquiesce in
robbing the O'Leary COW of the distinc-
ton that has been hers down through the
years, particularly when she is no longer
here to defend her reputation. AT least
we don't think she is.
And we are going to believe all the
yarns about the Father of His Country"
and about Mr.. Brodie and Ethan Allen.
They are just as liable to be true as un-
true for none of US was there at the
time and they certainly are far more in
teresting the way they have come down
to us.

Jane and my wife will have their
own troubles trailing me. For once
will fool them!"
+ The corn stalks we're dried and
they rustled in the wind as Uncle
Wiggily pushed him way through
the outside ones. Inside the queer
tent there was plenty of room for
him to sit down. It wasn't dark,
for sort of yellow light came
through the corn stalks.
I'll pretend I'm camping out"
thought the rabbit gentleman. mo
one knows l am here
But pretending you are camping
out, even if you are a rabbit gen.
tleman in corn tent, isn't any fun
when you are all alone. Uncle Wig
gily began to get lonesome. Then
he felt hungry.
II WISH" he said, twinkling his
pink nose, that I had thought to
bring along some food. Then it
would be fun camping out by my
self in this corn stalk tent. I Won
der if can eat any of the corn
off the cobs on these stalks?"
For Uncle Wiggily could see that
the stalks, piled in the shape OF
tents, still had on them many ears
of corn. But alas for the hopes OF
Mr. Longears. The kernels of corn
that. in Summer, had been soft and
filled with something like milk
were now hard and yellow. Uncle
Wiggily couldn't very well eat them
If he had been chicken or a horse
or pig he could have eaten the
hard, yellow kernels of corn. But
being a rabbit, he couldn't.
Dear me! What am I going to
do?" he said, out loud
why don't you go to sleep?" in
quired a voice and looking around
Uncle Wiggily saw a fuzzy cater
pillar crawling along in the corn
tent. Go to Sleep" advised the cat
erpillar, land when you awaken you
may have thought of something to
do"
That's a good idea" said Uncle
Wiggily. And I'm never hungry
when I'm asleep. Thank you"
So the rabbit gentleman curled
up inside the little tent of corr
stalks. His wife and Nurse Jane
had started out TO trail him, but
they couldn't find him. And while
Uncle Wiggily slept, something
strange happened. I'll tell you about
it tomorrow when the story will be
