HISTORY holds few more fas-
II cinating tales than the story
of the civilization which the In
dams erected in Mexico just be-
fore the Spanish conquest.
Here, truly, was one of the most
bizarre and romantic human So
cieties ever put together-a cruel
and bloody era, which built tow
ering temples and lowered cities
a people whose development
seemed TO be taking a course UNI
like any other ever attempted.
For some of us, at least, the story
of pre-conquest Mexico is one OF
the most interesting tales there is
Mexico Before Cortez," by j
Eric Thompson, gives a very good
description of the details Of life
in the old Aztec empire.
Mr.. Thompson provides the an
swers to a lot of those questions
which so many Psychologists ignore
He tells us. for instance, what
the peoples homes were like, what
they had to eat and wear, how
they worked and played, what kind
of holidays they celebrated and

CTHE END

Let me show you what mean by the micro
scope and the spotlight.
If you and your husband disagree over
game of bridge or you resent the fact that he
danced three times with Mrs Blatz during the
evening, you go home, pass a few cracks back
and forth. exchange couple of dirty looks, and
then kiss and make up like two normal people.
If your husband happens to be travelling
man and while sojourning in the next town has
a gay evening which involves couple of girls
brought into the party by some other fellow, the
chances are you will never hear about it. If you
do and no one else knows. you will be Perfectly
able to contain yourself after you've told him
just what you think of his conduct. If quite
number of your friends get to know about it,
your wounded pride and vanity and your sense
of injury and what you owe your own dignity
will become pretty important and there may be
serious trouble
That latter circumstance, doubled and
trlpled, is what always happens in Hollywood.
REMEMBER one day talking with four Holly
wood girls, all Of them weI-known stars and
very attractive women They all frankly admit
ted that the most difficult thing to bear about
any slight straying of their husbands attentions
TO some other women was not actually fear or

you and the next day you will discover that they
have likewise confided it to seven hundred and
forty-two other people. Then they're always
surprised and upset when it's all over town.
All these things decrease privacy practically
to the vanishing point and the deep roots of every
marriage must be planted firmly in privacy. Only
two people make successful marriage. In
Hollywood, you marry the whole darn colony
and eventually the>word and his wife.
Here is little example.
JANET GAYNOR and Lydell Peck married in the
glare of Hollywood and world interest That
was natural, Janet is world-figure. Everyone
had expected Janet to marry Charlie Farrell and
most people were a little disappointed because
she didn't. 1t was screen romance they wanted
to see come true.
One night Janet and her mother went to see
Shakespearean play together without Mr.. Peck
acting as esort. Now the truth of the matter
was that Mr. Peck didn't happen to care for that
particular Shakespearean play. But no such
simple explanation would satisfy the dramatic
soul of Hollywood. The Holywoodian part of the
audience gasped. Where was Lydell? WE'LL
they'd always said that marriage wouldn't last
The next day the Brown Derby Uttered with
the news.
Soon Janet's phone began to ring. Was it
true she and Lydell had separated? Janet was
amazed and when she found out the reason for
all this uproar she was even more astounded By
the time Lydell came home from work, Janet
was almost hysterical and exhausted from denv.

THERE are million little reasons why mar
/ riage is more difficult in Hollywood than
anywhere else.
But there are two big ones.
First the more persons who know of the
problems and differences. the big and little quar-
rels. the jealouSies and vanities of marriage,
the more chance that marriage has of going on
the rocks.
Hollywood itself is the biggest small town"
in the world and it possesses a rocking chair
brigade and a grapevine that no place you ever
knew can even tie.
Every Hollywood marriage exists under
microscope and a Spotlight That's where Holly
wood itself exists and if it didn't the theatres
would soon be empty. And under that micro
scope and spotlight, under the busy tongue of its
own rocking chair brigade, the pin pricks of
ordinary marriage are magnified and intensified
into fatal dagger wounds. The very nature of its
business and its people makes this inevitable.
Second, by the very purpose of its existence
and the essential requirements of its art. the
motion picture colony is composed almost en-
tirely of people who are temperamental. artistic,
super-enhotonal and highly imaginative and ro-
mantle. If they weren't you wouldn't pay your
good money at the box Office to see them. I do
not by any means advocate the idea that the
artist is above or beyond. moral or man-made

ing the report and naturally feeling just little
abused by the fact that Lydell hadn't gone to
the theatre with her and therefore given Holly
wood chance to say that he was neglecting her.
Lydell was annoyed because she felt abused
and they had their first quarrel.
l was at dinner party with Jack Gilbert and
Ina Claire one night, during the time they were
married to each other. An argument came up
about the relative merits of the stage and the
screen and Ina and Jack, who are both positive
and very quick, exchanged few verbal blows
Actually, it amounted to nothing. Before the
gang got through with it. it had become major
engagement and each was committed to real
defense of his viewpoint. Every place the couple
went for the next week, somebody brought it up
all over again-and Jack and Ina found them
selves antagonists. Which was not so good.
IN AN artistic colony such as Hollywood there
are naturally many people who are perfectly
swell but who are temperamentally unsulted to
marriage. That is probably true everywhere but
For example, King Vdor, one of the greatest
Hollywood directors, was married first to Flor
ence Vidor, one of the loveliest and most beaut-
full women who ever graced Hollywood, and later
to Eleanor Boardman, another splendid girl.
Both marriages were wrecked by King Vidors
peculiarly artistic temperament, his utterly diff
terent point of view Yet that same point OF view
is what has made him a great director.
The happiest Hollywood marriages are those
where one or the other is a non-professional,
safe to say that with very rare exceptions, those
are the only happy Hollywood marriages.
All marriages where wife has another bust,

SCIENCE EXHIBIT

BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps- Science Editor

CHICAGO, July 1.-Two huge
spheres occupy the place of honor
in the great room of the Hall Of
Science at the Century Of
Progress"
One, hanging in the air, is the
light aluminium gondola in which
Professor Auguste Picard assembled
to the stratosphere. The other is
the heavy steel diving globe or
bathysphere in which DR.. William
Beebe descended a half mile below
the surface of the ocean.
These two spheres, representing
mans conQuests of the aerial heights
and the ocean depths, symbolic
mans many victories over the forces
of nature to which the Hall of
Science is dedicated.
Scientists here for the summer
session of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
steal away to the Hall of Science
whenever a lull in their programs
of symposiums and round table dis
cuSsionS will permit.
But they have no monopoly on
the Hall of Science. From morning
to night there is steady throng of
visitors in the building. At times,
the crowd is so thick in front Of
some exhibits that it is impossible
to make your way through them.
The scientists, incidentally, are
jubilant over this public reaction.
For it demonstrates beyond contra
dicton the high interest of the pub
lie in science. 1t proves, to use the
advertising phrase, that the public
has become science minded"
The great room of the Hall of
Science is an imposing high-ceil-
inged rectangular room, larger than
many theaters. The walls are white,
decorated with a modernistic pat
tern in gray Tubular electric lights,
blue and green, run the whole
length of the ceiling.
The hall of science really is a
university, college of popular sci
ence. Here are more scientific dem
onstrations than any one college
has ever been able to afford, the sort
of equipment that professors dream
about but never get the finance
committee to approve.

NEGRO NAMED

By Scripps-Hopard Newspaper Alliance

By Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July l. Ever
since the Civil war one of the Re
publican party's favorite election
arguments was its plea of friend
ship for the Negro.
This worked so successfully in
northern and midwestern states like
New York, Ohio Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois
that the Republicans entered their
campaigns feeling that the large
blocs of Negro voters there were
safe for their cause.
But in the 1882 presidential cam
paign, many of the Negroes went on
the war path against the Hoover
administration.
One Of the foremost figures in the
revolt was Robert L. Vann of Pitts
burgh, Well-knOwn lawyer and edi-
tor of a Pittsburgh weekly with a
circulation of 10000 among Negroes
in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia and Maryland.
Vann was a crusader for Mr..
Roosevelt, and he is credited with
much responsibility for the ire
mendous switch of Negro voters in
those states last November.
On July 6, he will receive his re-
ward, and the Roosevelt admins
tration, incidentally, will demon
strate that it too feels kindly to the
colored man. He will be sworn in
as a special assistant attorney-gen-
eral in the department of justice.
He will be the first Negro to hold
such office in a Democratic admin
istration.

PROGRESSIVE bidding between

done with a definite aim-that is,
to try to find the fit of the hand.
Generally. it does not pay to play
hand at no trump when either of
the two hands has a void suit, but
if the bidding indicates that part
ner has the missing suit well
stopped, and you feel that the
tricks necessary for game can be
won in the side suits, then you may
allow the hand to be played at no
trump.
The following unusually interest
