Hollywood.-He has been in and out of tho picture business more times than any other person. :
 At least, such is the claim made by Ernest Truex. Although far better known for his work on tho legitimate stage. this actor, who now is in his forties but still looks the part of Q juvenile, is far from 0 newcomer in tho film racket. Ills first connection with what later de- veioped into the motion picture business was in Adolph Zukor's penny arcade in New York.
 Some years later, in 1917 to be exact, he stepped before the cam eras for the first time as Mary Pickford's leading man in "A Good Little Devil" the first stage play ever to be put on the screen Alter that Truex mado Q number Of Aims but invariably returned to the stage again.
 1T always have been intensely in- terested in pictures and really have wanted to get into them," Truex told mo. "Each time was signed for 0 new film I thought 1t was go- ipg to give mo my start but always something happened and ] went back to the stage again. Finally about ten years ago decided that perhaps there wasn't place for mo in pictures and that I'd better stick to the stage.
 "But now I am in 1t again and 1t actually looks as though I am go- ing to stay this time. I really was brought to Hollywood because they couldn't find anyone else to do my role in the screen version of 'Whistling in the Dark Whom we came out from the east was hop- ing Mrs Truex also would have q chance to do some work in pic- lures. guess she will all right. she was offered c contract before l was, but turned 1t down. However, if I stay here, as 1t appears will, she'll probably accept it."
 Vince Barnett, who never is happy unless he's playing a prac. ticai joke of ribbing someone, claims to have found an infailible method of getting invited to par- ties. Every time he visits q friend, he takes something home with him and refuses to return 1t until issued another invitation. His last stunt of this kind was taking tho sign off the apartment building in which Albert Cohen, Universal scenario editor, lived.

 Both republican supporters oi Eamon De Valera and tho party of William T. Cosgrave predicted vic- tory. A record poll was expected, with the result close. The center party was expected to hold the balance Of power between tho re- publieans and their opposition.
 Election day weather was foggy but thero was no rain in Dublin, Rival election forces werc at work carly in tho morning, rounding up voters who wero taken to the polls In decorated automobiles No dis- turbances had been reported at noon.
 Riots and street fights featured tho end of tho campaign. Cosgrave had Q narrow escape when repub- licans broke up Q meeting at Ira. leo. Most members of the cabinet and prominent politicians were re- ported to have carried revolvers, and tho bodyguards of Cosgrave and De Valera were reinforced in the fvnal days of the campaign.
 Fifty thousand young Irish vot- CTS taking part In their first olec- ton may turn tho tide in favor of De Valera.
 The women's vote will predom. mate in the four important consti- tuencles of Cork City, Dublin City, North Dublin City, and South Dub lin City. Male registered voters throughout the Free State total es6,069, and women s33,776.
 First results will be known Wed- nesday, but Q decisive trend in tho election was not expected to be- come known before Thursday. Do Valera headquarters predicted q majority of 20 seats In tho Dail over all other parties. Cosgrave supporters said their majority would be between Ave and ton seats.
 Cosgrave mado his final cam paign speech at Cork, while Do Valera ended m intensive cam paign throughout the country with m address at College Green, Dub. lin Huge crowds overhowed into adjoining streets and the atmos- phero was tonBo.

they don't want to be forgotten. Every democratic senator and cons gressman Is lying awake nights uuiring constituents that there just wont be jobs eonugh to 20 around.
 Now to make their agony com plete comes senate document No 173, limited to 200 copies. It lists more than 10000 federal jobs not under civil service, gives the salary and. in many instances the date the incumbent, usually Q republican, was appointed and when his term expires.
 This handy compendium for de- serving democrats was printed Ut the request of Santaor Mcclellan, dem., Tenn. He thought 1t would be Q big help to democrats in To- eating jobs. But when Q persistent democratic job seeker has this volume before him 1t will no longer be possible for his senator to reply that there are no jobs available. If advised that the cabinet jobs are all filled, the persistent appli- cant won't quit there. He will run down the long list of $10,000 jobs on boards and commissions horc. AS Q last resort, after being turned down for every job, the constituent Is apt to reply, "well how about giving my son that office boy job down in Mississippi that you list on pago 25 at $720 0 yoar?"
 Already a movement is quietly under way to gather up tho goo copies of this dangerous publica- ton and burn thom. Meantime senators are guarding tho liN us tightly as possible but somo copies havo got out.
 out of tho 42o pages of jobs listed in small type, tho Washing ton positions rato tho best salaries. There aro ten cabinet jobs at $1b,- 900 . year. Tho $12,000 jobs in- cludo: Comptroller of tho currency; veterans administration director; federal service board, five mem- bcrs; U. s. board of mediation, i've members; interstate, commerce. commission.

 Jobs paying from $8000 to 5000 are 50 common that 0 number of republicans holding them arc hope- ful that they will be overlooked as small change in tho crush.
 What Is really worrying demo- cratic Job hunters is that there still Is some uncertainty as to whether tho new administration will insist upon wholesale resignations whero terms of republican incumbonts have some time to run, or whether tho pie will be served piece. .meai. word from President-eloct Roose. welt is boing eagerly awaited.

DOCS FOUND

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Dec. 18
dN.S0 .-Eleven.year-old Adolph
Gioia is almost tearfully happy
today. Rex is back home.
And the New Jersey State police,
its collective heart warmed by
the realization Of a good deed
well done, went back to its prosy
routine of suppressing crime.
For nearly a week the troopers,
at the direct order Of Gov. A.
Harry Moore, had. been hunting
Rex, Adolph's mongrei, which was
lost near Dunellen.
In a letter to the Governor,
the boy told of his loss and asked
the executives aid. He responded
with orders for a Statewide hunt
for Rex or a dog just like him.
Last evening two State troopers
went to Dunellen where they
found Rex.
Adolph, his eyes filled with
tears, thanked the troopers and
wrote a letter Of thanks to the
Governor.

WORST IS PAST,
SAYS ROPER

Things are looking better, ac-
cording to Secretary Of Com
merce Daniel C. Roper in his
annual report made public to-
day, and definite business i'm
provement can be counted upon
from now on in his opinion.
The tide of deflation turned
last spring, he says, and de-
cisive governmental action has
done much to inspire confidence.
Affairs of the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
are in a process OF revaluation, "
he says, and the bureau is ex-
pected to be of great service in
promoting recovery. The report
urges a full census in 1885, along
with the census of agriculture.
Rober favors filling existing
vacancies in the Patent Office
which has suggested reclassifi-
cation of patents that is expected
to save both time and money.
A laboratory for the Bureau
of Mines on the campus Of the
University of Maryland is con
sidered desirable.
The descent from 1929 had
been so long and so steep, Roper
said, that conditions are not YET
satisfactory, but definite signs
of revival of business have ap-
peared all over the world.
