Lots of Talking

Lots Of Talking
Don't let them kid you,
brothers and sisters. There's
exactly one plane a week in the
passenger service around this
section-and you'd better not
lay the odds on that one, either.
They talk a lot about flying
hereabouts, but that seems to
be as far as it goes. I've heard
airplane conversations by the
carload, but the discussions al
ways peter out long before the
take-off.
But there I go again. Here
I am on train that's only two
hours from Jerusalem-and I'm
writing about planes. 1 suppose
If ] were on a plane bound for
India, I'd be writing an article
about the train service around
Rockaway Beach. Oh, we'll
I would hardly recommend
this excursion to those ladies
and gentlemen who insist upon
travelling in comfort. The first
part of the journey is not so
bad. In fact, it's rather good.
But you mustn't let that fool
you. They give you the roast
duck first and then make you
eat the spinach.
In order to get to the Holy
City-and I can't help wonder
ing just how holy it's going to
be-you leave Cairo at 6 o'clock
at night on one of those beau
tiful white trains that Egypt
alone knows how to produce.
You buy yourself a seat in the
Pullman-and it's a far finer
Pullman than those we have in
America-and you enjoy a good
meal on gold service, no less.
All of which is very nice
but that's only the warm-up.
You just about have sufficient
time to swallow your coffee
when the train pulls into a
joint called Kantarah, on the
SueZ Canal.
On Submarine
You change here for a ferry
across the canal. It sits very
low in the water, and by the
time. all the passengers, bag
gage and cattle have been
placed upon it. you'd hate to
swear that you weren't on a
submarine.
Almost anyone in Egypt is
able to throw a coin across the
canal in spite of the fact that
they haven't been practicing
much since the depression. The
journey is very short; almost
nothing, in fact. But the boys
in command tackle the job
just as seriously as though
they were handling an ocean
liner.
The whistles blow, the bells
clang and there is much tug
glng and pulling at rusty old
gate that is on it's last hinges.
The tiny craft gives a sudden
jerk and, before the jerk is
quite over, you are on the other
side. The change and the trou-
BILE that goes with it for that
tiny distance are extremely
stupid. Why a. bridge hasn't
been built long before this is
a question I am unable to
answer.
An inquiry along those lines
revealed the fact that such a
bridge was now in the course of
construction.
However" said the station
master. a very serious gentle
man, ''it will be two years be-
fore the bridge is finished"

Young Star, Portrays Emo tional Role in Coli
 scum Picture

Nancy Carroll, since the begin- ming of the talkies a favorite star, is featured In Personal Maid" the Paramount picture which is play ing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Miss Carroll, who has played in everything the talking picture have done, from musical comedy up and down, has a dramatic role in Per sonal Maid that allows the young star to display the emotional tal- ents of which she is capable. Her charm, personal loveliness and sweet voice have made her many friends among theatre patrons and her more recent pictures that have giv- en her an opportunity to prove that she is an actress as well as just a pretty star with a pretty singing voice.
 Gene Raymond plays opposite Nancy Carroll in this pict..,re, in the role of her employers son, and the two of them, maid and youth of wealth. find happiness at the end of the interesting plot of Personal Maid

MARTIN JOHNSON MAKES TALKING JUNGLE PICTURE
Famous Explorers, Three Boys Scouts Tn Around
 World Adventure

MT. and Mrs. Martin Johnson whose slogan regarding their pic lures is above all authentic have added interest to their present fea- ture. Across the World with MT and Mrs. Martin Johnson which opened at the Capitol theatre last night, by taking with them on their journey. three boy scouts.
 On the Capitol screen they will take those who enjoy adventuring by way of the movies to Hawaii, the Solomon Islands, South Seas, Samoa, New Zealand, pygmy land, and to other interesting places that are seldom reached even by the most daring traveller.
 This picture was made by these famous explorers in the course of their expeditions across the globe under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History.
 In this, their first talking pie ture, MT. and Mrs. Johnson prove the saying that truth is stranger than fiction and sometimes more interesting.
 There is probably not a boy in the world who sees this Johnson picture who does not wish he were making the trip with them in the place of one of the young boy scouts in Africa.

 IN CONFERENCE
They Are in Hartford To- day Where a Committee Will Discuss Matters With Board

Hartford, Conn, Aug s-(Up)-- Milk producers and dealers from all over the state gathered here today to attend tie public confer ence between the state milk cons trol board and a committee repre- senting the Farmers National As- sociation, resulting from the boards establishment of minimum prices and proposal of a pooling contract system.
 The outcome of today's hearing may. determine the action of many producers who have threatened to declare a milk holiday" if the boards announced increase of two cents a quart goes into effect to- morrow, as scheduled.
 Producers have asked for basic price for milk and control of the surplus by farmers. Independent dealers, opposing the plan for sub- stituting 8 pooling contract system for the existing straight contract, have called statewide mass meet ing for tonight to discuss the re- suits of the board hearing.
 A group of independent dealers at Newtown last night voted in fa- vor of a resolution calling upon the governor to remove members of the control board. Similar action has been taken mother sections.
 Governor Cross. who returned from California yesterday. was ex- pected to give the milk problem his undivided attention today.

 This insurrection was quickly suppressed by President Machado's army. Machado then sought to tighten his rule. He proclaimed martial law, and was more ruthless in the use of the rural guard. He put newspapers under strict cen- sorship: he suppressed opposition political parties: he jailed political enemies by the hundreds: he orr ganized the Partida De Porra (party of the bludgeon) or secret police that engaged in bloody war fare of assassinations with opposi- ton terrorist organizations. The chief of these was the ABC, out growth of the student movement, which soon became the backbone of the revolution.
 The underground terrorism that ensued was marked by assassina- tions, bombings. and executions by the governments hired ''porristas. !" Many prominent Cuban opposition ists were killed and high govern ment officials were assassinated, in- cluding the president of the Cuban senate and the head of the "porra. |"
 The oppositionists were united in one main objective-removal of Machado as president-they hated him with furious intensity. Macha- do was equally determined to re- tain his rule.
 In an attempt to relieve this situ- ation, United States Ambassador Sumner Welles, expert on Latin American affairs, this spring sought mediation between the two groups. Conferences began, with the gov-

 All of that indicates that Miss LeHand is closer to him even than the members of his cabinet. The indication is correct. As per- sonal secretary of MT Roosevelt, Miss LeHand knows more about the business of the United States than any other one person, the president excepted. She lives in the White House and is regarded by the numerous Roosevelts as real. member of the family.
 They take her on picnics and to parties. They confide in her and they call her Missy.
 Even the president calls Missy when he wants to talk to his super secretary.
 Missy" is vivacious and charming woman. She is trim, we'll dressed and usually smiling. She has dark brown hair, tinged with gray, and blue eyes which oPdi NiO WASA oA0 S1AhS dpouS IF. D.
 She was born in Somerville, Mass, worked in Washington as a governmental stenographer during the World war, later obtained a job in democratic headquarters in Boston and finally was hired by President Roosevelt in 1920 when he was campaigning for the vice presidency.
 MT Roosevelt soon found her invaluable.
 She worked with him during the busy years in Albany, where he was governor of New York. accompanied him on his unprece- dented airplane dash to the demo- cratic national convention in Chi cago and then as a matter of course became one of the most important members of his official family in Washington.
 Miss LeHand is an expert at drafting innumerable letetrS which do not require the personal att tention of the president. She knows him so we'll that she always knows exactly what to say and how to say 1t.
 Whenever a group picture of the Roosevelts is made, Miss Le- Hand is in it. She frequently lends the president her $1.50 fountain pen for the signing of bills. She considers it the most historic pen ever.
 She was about to hand it to him on one important occasion when the movie cameras began to grind. @4 Franklin" exclaimed Mrs Roosevelt, you fix your hair" The president smoothed down his unruly locks, the efficient Miss LeIand produced her foun- tain pen and the ceremony con- tinued.
