 Daughters of Minister

White Plains, N. c. (UP)-In a double grave near here lie the bodies of the original Siamese Twins, Eng and Chang Bunker, who spent most of their lives here and raised large families.
 Incidents of their lives were re- called recently as New York marriage license clerk denied Vio- let Hilton, one of the Hilton sis ters, who are joined together in the Siamese fashion, a license to wed.
 The Bunker twins lived here al- most a century ago. They came from Siam when they were about IS. For several years they trav- eled with circuses, but after mak- ing enough money, they settled down here.
 Double Wedding
 In double wedding April 15, 1843, the twins married two sis ters, daughters of minister, Sarah and Adelaide Yates. Chang married Adelaide, by whom he had ten children, and Eng married Sarah, by whom he had twelve.

 Finally the families separated and lived about a mile and a half apart. The husbands would spend three days in one home, then three days in the other. The hus- band in whose home they were

 One Suffered Stroke
 Late in their lives, Chang suf- fered a stroke which left him par tially paralyzed and his brother had to half drag him around the rest of their lives.
 On Jan 12, 1872, Chang be- came ill with bronchitis at his home. When it came time to go to Eng's house, Eng tried to per suade Chang to remain at Chang's home. But the latter insisted on carrying out their marital ar engagements.
 Chang became worse at Eng's house. At daybreak, Eng awak- ened and could not wake Chang. He was dead. Eng then said, with a sigh, Then I am going also" He soon felt a feeling of suffoca- tion and gradually he grew weak CT. In about two hours he was dead. If a doctor had been pres- ent, it is believed the tissue con- meeting them could have been severed and Eng's life saved.
 The death of Eng was attributed to fright"

NO SCREEN STAR GIVEN MILLION
 AT HOLLYWOOD
None of Them Hungry, However - Hundreds
 Were Paid Plenty

washington, July 20 = (UP)- Nobody made million dollars in Hollywood >last year. Or if they did, it wasn't by acting in the movies.
 MIRA Division Administrator Sol Rosenblatt gave the lie today to the much ballyhooed salaries of the films in a report of an investiga- tion ordered by President Roose- welt.
 But even if there weren't any million dollar checks passed out, plenty of Hollywood folks still have enough to eat. Exactly 102 actors, actresses, directors, artists and officials made as much or more than President Roosevelt.
 Top man of the movie capital was an actor who drew $315,0OO for a single picture. Roosenblatt didn't reveal his name, nor the names of any of the 3,176 persons who were listed at a salary of $15O a week or more. There was a req son.
 Salaries, it seems, have way of making movie stars unhappy"
 "Their value is apparently nil whom they are unhappy" Rosen- blatt reported.
 'It is a common experience of producers that where offers of in- creased compensation are made to stars during their present em- ployment, their services become practically worthless to their em- ployers unless their salaries are in- creased to accord with the com- peting offer."
 The reason for the great spread between the publicized salaries of Movie stars and their actual earn ings was revealed to be that they are often hired at as much as $25,000 a week, but may work on- ly a week or two.
 Thus, No. 2, on Rosenblatt's list, an artist, was rated at $10,000 a week which would mean an an- nual slaray of $520,000. Actually he earned only $296,250. No. 9S, rated $25,000 a week, but earned only s76.666.66.
 Actors are worth more in Holly wood than actresses. Of the twenty highest paid persons in the movies, are actors, are artists. and only ? actresses.
 The movies lost $19.589,39S.13 in 1893, but even so. Rosenblatt did not think the actors were over paid.
 "No salary is too high or exces- sive if the picture meets with un- usual public favor as a result ot unique direction or artistry" he said. Public popularity of artists is flimsy and perishable product. It is dependent upon the vagaries of public favor. A screen person. ality may be a popular hero today and forgotten tomorrow"
 The report recommended con- tinued suspension of code ban on ''star raiding'' and declared that the industry had made no material progress in setting the production side of it's house in order"
 It urged that suspension of a provision against ''unreasonably" excessive salaries be continued also.

Carelessness Caused
 13,4OO Deaths In '33
Auto Drivers Must Perform Double Duty, Lookout for
 Pedestrian and Self-Be Cautious, Sound Signal

The driver of an automobile must not only look out for himself but he must protect the pedestrian. Pedestrians are often careless and it is up to the auto driver to use every precaution in warning peo- pie on streets and highways that they are in danger. Notwithstand- ing the jibes which picture the pedestrian as the "poor victim" in automibile acidents, carefully com piled statistics prove that his &C., tion in crossing streets against traffic signals, crossing between in- tersections, getting off or on other vehicles in traffic, coming from be-

hind parked cars and other acts of carelessness resulted in 13, 400 deaths and about 275,000 disabling injuries last year.
 Drivers of cars should not be afraid to use their warning signal; sound your horn and watch out al- ways in starting and backing up. Watch the cross walks and inter- sections.
 This is just what a careful driver will do and the members of the Waterbury Democrats Safe Driv- CTS" club make such pledge.

 The national defense has been strengthened materially and wide- spread m p 0 y m ent t provided through allocation of public works administration funds to the war and navy departments. Of the more than $621, 100000 allocated to these departments at least $S42,725,000 may be regarded as purely for national defensive meas ures, not including more than $25,- 000,O00 given to the navy for shore station construction.
 All told the navy-the nations first line of defense-has received $277,098,924 from the original $3,3OO, 100000 PWA appropriation. The major portion of this, s238,- O00,000, is being used to construct 32 new naval vessels, an impressive addition to Uncle Sam's battle fleet.

In recent years many OF the
tiny lakes, and ponds that knew
the carefree splashing and laugh
ter of children have been swal'
lowed up in real estate develop

rapidly replaced with beautiful,
sanitary, and well supervised
swimming pools with life-guards
on duty at all times to safeguard
you against the dangers lurking
in the cold waters which seal
many youthful lips each year
This list grows annually, and it
is so unnecessary.
AS one of the thousands of

peal to you, to your sense of fair
play and sportsmanship, for your
cooperation and assistance in
keeping down this ever-mounting
list of needless deaths and serious
accidents.
You can help by your observ'
ance, and complying with the few
simple rules regulating all bathing
places. These rules are based
upon common sense and will not
detract from your pleasure and
enjoyment of swimming.
Among many the idea prevails
that the life-guard is sort of a
crank preventing you from doing
many things that were meant
only in fun. You probably play

to swim. The result is that un
