BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD Z. GARRIs
tCspyzisht, 1857, By Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate,

Whose is this merry -go-round?"
asked Jingle.
Isn't it beautiful" murmured
her twin sister, Jangle.
Mr.. WhiteWash made it, said
Uncle Wiggily, "and 1 got Old Sea
Dog to put it on his back and
chase his tail. That's what makes
the merry-go-round whirl.'
Don't forget the music!' called
Mr. Stubtail.
"Oh, yes, I nearly forgot spoke
Mr.. Longears. Mr. Stubtail plays
the mouth organ to make music for
u.s. Show them, Stubby."
And whirl about some more, Sea
Dog!" said Mr. Whitewash. Then
the rabbit children may see what
a fine whirligig they are going to
have. Chase your tail, Sea Dog"
And the Sea Dog, who had stop
ped turning the y-go-round as
the rabbit children rushed up the
| beach, started chasing his tail. FaS-
| ter and faster sWirled the Whirligig.
Louder and louder played Mr. Stub
tail on his mouth organ.
"Whoop-ee! Whoop-eel Whoop-
eel" shouted Uncle Wiggily. getting
f., all excited because he thought what
fine fun and jolly rides his little
bunnies were soon going to have.
"Whoop-ee!"
Uncle Wiggily forgot to hold fast
TO the big ears of the wooden mer-
iry-go-round elephant on whose back
he was riding. He should have held
fast but, as he didn't, off he was
/ thrown, out across the sand and he
fell right down on Nurse Jane Fuz-
w Wuzzy. The muskrat lady house
| keeper was coming down to the
beach to see if the bunny children
were all right and Uncle Wiggily
! landed right on her.
! OH" grunted Nurse Jane.
EXCUSE mel said Uncle Wig
gily, politely.
But luckily Nurse Jane apd the
bunny gentleman fell on bunch OF
sea weed so neither Of them was in
the least hurt and soon they were
up again.
THAT was a funny fall, Unkie
Wig!" laughed Baby Bunty.
Wasn't it," said Mr.. LongearS
Then he stopped Old Sea Dog from
chasing his tail to halt the merry
go-round SO the bunny children
could get on. And next, if the bed
room ceiling will read story ou,
Of the wall paper for the linoleum
on the kitchen floor, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the
isaw fish.

BRINGS
AIMEE CANDY

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. g. W.P)--
The meeting with Aimee Semple
Mcpherson, which her husband.
David Hutton, said wouldn't take
place, which did, was "for business
purposes only" Hutton insisted to-
day.
1t was. he explained, to discuss
legal matters relating to his suit
for divorce. NonethelesS Hutton
brought along a box of candy,
dined with the evangelist and was
very attentive to her.
The scene was Mrs. McPherson's
room in a fashionable hotel, where
she is staying during her revival
services in Minneapolis. Afterward,
the pair received newspapermen.
Hutton did most of the talking.
He was expansive and smiling,
while Mrs. Mcpherson was pensive
and sad, except for q brief light
ing up of her face when her sing
er husband presented her with the
candy.
Hutton helped her eat it.
"Of course, I like sister Aimee,
replied the gallant Hutton in re-
sponse to a question. I'VE still are
friends and we are going to remain
friends. Why, in California, all
kinds of people arc divorced, and
what happens? They remain
friends. That's true everywhere.
isn't it?"
The evangelist broke in at this
point.
why, David never said all those
things newspaper here said he
did," she exclaimed. HE told me
he didn't"
Sister Aimee apparently referred
to published statements quoting
Hutton as saying his wife talked
too much" and that he would not
meet her while in Minneapolis.
The evangelist left the room and
during the intermission Hutton ex-
planned he had been irked by read
ing that Mrs. Hutton wouldn't meet
him.
II got so mad about it, I tore
the paper in two." he observed.
Hutton carefully cleaned Sister
Aimee's sleeve when it brushed the
salad during their meal. He ac-
companied her to the gospel meet
ing
I'll sneak out if I attract too
much attention" he threatened as
he left.
He stayed through the services.

he had finished his tune he took
the organ from his mouth and
said
II think it's great. But I thought,
Mr.. LongearS, you made this mer-
ry-go-round for your little bun

Il did" said Uncle Wiggily. Il
made it so I wouldn't have TO give
them SO many pennies to ride on

down there now But they will soon
be back here asking for more pen

may ride on my -go-round for
nothing. In that way l shall save a
lot of money"
Good" said the brown bear.
Give us another tune, Stubby!"
called Mr.. WhiteWash.
The brown bear began to play
the mouth organ Old Sea Dog be-
gan to chase his tail again and
Uncle Wiggily on his wooden ele-
phant animal, Mr. Whitewash on
his tiger and Mr. Stubtail on his
lion had some more merry-go round
rides
All of a sudden, down on the
sandy beach was heard above the
music of the mouth organ the mer-
ry shouts and calls of forty leven
sixteen rabbit children.
Here they comet laughed Un-
Gle Wiggily.
Toward the merry-go-found came
hopping the bunnies who had just
finished having rides on the board
walk Whirligig
oh, Unkie Wig!" exclaimed Baby
Bunty. Where did you get it?" She
was SO excited that she nearly used
more baby talk than she was allow

THERE is another world than the
L one most of us inhabit. We
rub elbows with it daily without
knowing it. 1t is world of misery,
madness and despair; a half-insane
world in which people grope fran
tically in the dark for faith and Sc
curity and hope-and don't find
them.
We get a glimpse of this world in
miss Lonely Hearts," by Nathaniel
West.
This novel tells about a flip young
reporter for a New York tabloid,
whose editor gave him the Job of
being Miss Lonely Hearts-that leg
endary tabloid goddess who gives
advice to the lovelorn, tells the
brokenhearted that the sun still is
shining behind the clouds. and reels
off platitudes for the shipwrecked.
AT first the lad takes 1t as vast
Joke. Letters pour in on him in
flood-smudgey, half illiterate, voic-
ing the confusion and desperation
of a submerged tenth whose very
existence most Of us prefer to ignore.
BY the standards of tabloidiana, it is
all very funny.
But presently the lad discovers it
isn't so side-spltung. after all. De-
apairing hands reach up to him out
# the abyss. and he must give them
stones instead Of bread.
His wisecrackS fail to comfort him.
He makes one futile effort TO help
one of his readers. botches the job
horribly, and then, nauSeated, gives

There's no sweetness and light init.
But it does let you peek into this

 UNUSUAL FILM
Men Must Fight at Coli scum Tonight Advances
 Time Nearly Decade

One of the most unusual pic lures to come out of Hollywood is Metro Goldwyn Mayors Men Must Fight which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. It of fers a glimpse ahead to the year 1940 when, say the authors, the United States may be plunged into another war. But it is not in tended as war picture-rather it purports to prevent war by warning of horror which the fu- ture will bring upon those who remain at home, when the warriors of the country go to the front.
 The story of Men Must Fight starts after Diana Maynard's war time romance with a British avla- tor who is killed on his first flight. She becomes the wife or the Secretary of State, who agrees to raise her child as her son. The wife's whole life is devoted to in fluencing her husband to work fol the prevention of war, and the son grows up hating violence to such an extent that he is willing to sacrifice the family name and the girl he loves rather than be forced to go to war. But on learn ing that he is not ready a mem her of the family. he decides to follow his real fathers example of heroism.
 The picture was directed by Ed gar Selwyn, who has turned in production which compares in every way with his fine achieve ment in The Sin of Madelon Claudet." The photography, the 1940 settings and gowns. are also important factors in the produc- tion.

Ex- cept for Courage" and school plays in the convent, she had left year before, she was without experience. She had small role in Harmony at Home" for Fox, repeated her stage role in the filmed Courage" and that was about all until she played the title role in film called Lena Riv- CTS"

AMBASSADOR BINGHAM IS
 MAKING. HIT
Two Personalities Shown in Friendly Dignity
 to His Office
By OSCAR LElDING

LONDON, Oct. 10. - Americas Ambassador to the Court of St. James, Robert Worth Bingham has revealed himself as man of two distinct personalities.
 Many have seen him in his of- ficial role, upholding with dignity the prestige of his office and of the country he represents-a dig nity, however, relieved by a friendliness and charm which have won wide favor.
 London Residents Hospitable
 The other side is known to old friends, either American or Brit ish, who have found the great yellow residence overlooking Hyde Park a house of hospitality and informality.
 To those who have seen both sides of the man, his official for mality appears to be veneer donned when the occasion de- mands and as quickly stripped off. 
 Americans have been close to him in the United States begin to feel at home the instant they set foot on the embassy threshold for the footman who first meets them is the same who has served the Bingham family for many years in Kentucky.
 The Ambassador and Mrs. Bing- ham have, in fact, in the few months they have been in Lon den, had their house full of peo- pie almost continually.
 Fond of Scottish Sports

No Mother to Guide Mouie z .ssss Alice But She Is Going to Do
 Wonderland on Her Olun
By RoBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 10.- Alice stepped through the looking glass with no mother to guide her, and Charlotte Virginia Henry, blus-eyed and blond, is going in to the star peopled sets of the screens new wonderland unen- cumbered by stage mama"
 Charlotte, who cried with ex- citement and joy whsn she was told that she had won the role of Alice, has a mother who is with her here, but Mrs. Virginia Henry, once an actress herself, is going to be no sideline coach. !
 She told Norman Mcleod, the director, that he need not worry on that score. Mrs Henry knows all about stage mamas"
 "I1l bring her to the studio at nine in the morning and you will not see me again until I coma for her in the evening" she told Mcleod.
 And the director must have been overjoyed at that assurance, for the stage mama or her Holly wood equivalent, the movie Ma ma," is rated high among the pests of the lots. Tn at least one of them practically eliminated her daughter as an Alice candidate. Mama in this instance had trained daughter to take her own direc- tion so well that when daughter faced the camera and had to heed thn directnr, she MaS at a loss

 The Ambassador is very much at home in Scotland where in times past he has indulged in his fa- vorite recreations = shooting and riding-and he brought over with him his saddle horses and his dogs.
 Secretary of State Hull and Senator Key Pittman are both old friends of Ambassador Bingham and their visits to him here have been personal as well as official.
 The son of Louis Howe, one of President Roosevelt's secretaries, visited with the Binghams for three weeks: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., was entertained when he was in London; Prof. Raymond Moley and Herbert Swope were personal guests of the Ambassador; and among others who have shared in the informal hospitality of the embassy have been Dr. Hugh Young, and daughter, of Balti- more.
