HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 8.-Out OF

wood because it contains some
new names. Here 1t is:
Comtesse de Maigret (Of
Paris), Clare Brokaw New York
writer and magazine editOr),
Marlene Dietrich, Madeleine
Carroll, Greta GarbO, Norma
Shearer, Clara Bow, Loretta
Young and Anabella, the French
screen actress.
"The Comtesse de Maigret
would come first on my list"
says Chevalier, because the mo-
ment I set eyes on her I was fas-
cinated. I am not prejudiced, \
either, for she is of Swedish
birth, and is the widow Of a
young French nObleman. She
has been ON the stage and,
should she be brought to the
screen, would, predict, become
the most glamOrous of all the
stars. A brunette, she Is tall

''It's a Gift
RUtin0: Excellent


There's just one little happy
family where w. C. Fields, as the
father in Its a Gift" takes the
brunt of most of the humor and
seems to like it.
It's film which belongs wholly
to the comedian except for q few
sparce intervals in which a few
of the other members have their
moments.
One of the best pantomime
scenes which I have seen Fields
put across in such a hilarious
fashion occurs in "It's a Gift"
when he consumes at least five
minutes of the picture trying to
get a nights rest on the back
porch of a tenement house.
The story has to do with Fields
efforts to sell his grocery store
in New Jersey and take his fam
lily, consisting of wife. daughter
and son, out to an orange grove
in sunny California.
Baby Leroy is teamed with
Fields again in this picture, but
his role is so short that I don't
think many of his admirers will
be thoroughly satisfied. But
where he does appear is certainly
a worthy addition to the picture.
The supporting cast consists OF
Kathleen Howard, who is splen-
did as the wife, Joan Rouverol,
Julian Madison, Tammany Young,
Tommy Bupp and Charles Sellon.
1t is a film which will give you
rlenty of laughs and leaves you
desiring nothing more in the way
of an evenings entertainment.
Direction was by Norman NC
Leon from an original story by
Charles Boyle and ]. p. McEvoy.

Your He Ith
by DIR. MORRIS FISEBEIN-

MOT many generations have passed since milk
was product taken from the cow by the farm
er, assembled in large buckets and poured into
smaller buckets which the householder deposited on
his doorstep.
In those days milk not infrequenty vsiby
dirty Occasionally the collector and distributor took
the trouble to pour it through ordinary strainer
or sieve that represented the maximum amount Of
attention given to milk with view to making it
safe product for human consumption.
When Pasteur discovered that germs cause disease
and that idea became well established, studies began
to be made of the germ content Of milk. It was
found that milk not infrequently may serve as
medium for the spreading of tuberculosis derived
from the cattle and of streptococc and other germs
derived from the hands and Threats of mixers or
others assisting in the distribution OF milk.
1T was even found that the mixer might infect the
l. udder of the cow with a streptococcic infection
and that this infection could then be transferred to
any one who consumed the milk, resulting in rather
large epidemcs of streptococcic sore throat.
The response TO the discovery that milk could
spread infection the development Of the process
of pasteurization AT first, milk was pasteurized by
two methods - the holding method and the flash
method
In one method the milk is brought to fairly high
temperature and kept at ths, temperature for
fairly long period of time In the other method the
milk is brought briefly to high temperature and
then suddenly cooled.
The majority of plants pasteurize milk by the
holding method since the fash method has not been
found to be uniformly safe and satisfactory.
INTRODUCTION Of pasteurization was accom-
panied also by development Of certified milk. Ger
titled milk is produced from COWS that are known to
be healthfu, having been submitted TO examination
and study with the tubercun test and other types
Of examination
The milk is produced under the best sanitary con-
dtions and after production is regularly examined
by competent investigators to determine that the
number OF bacteria which it contains well within
the limitations of a healthful product.
II is determined also that the milk can not con-
vey the germ of tuberculosis. This milk is also
watched through the process Of boiling transporta-
tion and delivery so that certified milk produced
under the best OF conditions is most safe and re-
iiabIsproduct.

L Governor of California today he would reply,

MerriamS medieval owners the Governor said he
didn't know what Mr.. Creel talking about. He
said he didn't have any owners, and he actually
doesn't know he has.
That is why it is so interesting to hear the old
guard statesmen, who will have the actual RESPONSE
bility in Merriams next term proclaiming determ-
nation to give California progressive administra
ton. Your correspondent trusts that he does not
assume too much in assuming that Governor Mer-
RAM will be reelected and the Mahatma defeated.

Gently Mahatma Sinclair insisted that the President
would help him out and he undoubtedly based his
belief on one of those charmngly noncommital re-
marks for which the President has a happy knack.
Your correspondent was presented to the President
one day and away from the encounter highly
elated over a remark which he took to be a great
compliment. Mr. Roosevelt said, There isn't an
other writer like you" and your correspondent went
to sleep that feeling much cheered. But suddenly,
in the middle of the night your correspondent
started awake wondering Gould that have been
dirty crack?" 1t is still a disturbing thought.

MIR. Nebbia was a Rochester
WI grocer who violated an
order of a milk control board,
created under state law, which
fixed the retail milk price at 9
cents a quart. Mr.. Nebbia sold
two quarts and a loaf Of bread
for Is cents.
His lawyers, when he was prose-
cuted, said this price-f1Xing was
unconstitutional and violated due
process" by depriving Mr.. Nebbia
of his liberty to sell at any price
he pleased.
The state argued that a>situa-
ton which threatened existence of
the dairy industry justified fixing
of prices to farmers and con-
sumerS in the public interest.
The supreme court, unfolding
the state law, uttered these words
which are considered significant
from the standpoint of MIRA,
AAA and other New Deal meas
ures: The fifth amendment in
the field Of federal activity and
the fourteenth amendment as re-
spectS state action do not prohibit
governmental regulation for the
public welfare. Equally funda-
mental with the private right is
that of the public to regulate it
in the common interest.
80 far as the requirement of
due process is concerned and in
the absence of other constitution
al restrictions, a state is free to
adopt whatever economic policy
may reasonably be deemed to pro-
mote public welfare and to en-
force that policy by legislation
adapted to its purpose. The
courts are without authority
either to declare such policy, or,
