New Crawford
Here, Dec. Is

John Crawford, Clark Gable
and Robert Montgomery, three of
the screens brightest figures,
blend their talents into what is
easily one of the gayest pictures
ever filmed in "Forsaking All
Others" which will be seen for
the first time on Christmas Day,
Tuesday, at Loew's Palace Thea
ter.
"Forsaking All Others" is based
on the Tallulah Bankhead stage
hit and is brought to the screen
by Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer. Di-
rected by w. S. Van Dyke Of
Thin Man" fame, it emerges as
his greatest directorial triumph.
It tells the rollicking story of a
girl who is left at the altar and
who later leaves him at the altar.
It is packed with comedy of the
type that the screen rarely has
seen.
Charles Butterworth, Billie
Burke, Frances Drake, Rosalind
Russell and many others are fea-
tured in support.

Within 20 minutes, he was con-

turned from a farm where a
woman had given birth to sew
eral children the day before. By
this time, the doctor came to
the phone himself.
"Oh, yes," he admitted, "there
had been a little excitement out
at the Dionne's place. He had
arrived to find one child al
ready born. In all five had
made their appearance, but he
was not sure about their
chances to survive. Facilities

asked the City Editor.
The little doctor shouted
back, "Help? It would save
one or two of these babies
anyway.
Mr.. S. went into the office
of Editor William A. Curley
and after a twO-minute huddle
with his chief, got men busy

The city editor of the Journal,
whom we shall call Mr.. S. for
convenience sake, having
wagered a moiety of his salary
on certain young Mr.. Jimmy
McLarnin to spread the moth
over another certain young Mr..
Barney Ross was carefully read
ing the account of the battle in
a morning newspaper, in which
was verified his suspicious of
the evening before that his Mr..
McLarnin had ben badly beaten
by the young upstart, Mr.. Ross.
His alert eye caught a small
headline over a brief item, OBJ
scurely spotted. 1t appeared
out in Ontario in an isolated
region known as Calendar. Five
babies had been borne by the
young wife of an impoverished
farmer. The five had bowed
into this world within a period
of approximately half an hour.
There was mention of a country

AS he told city editor, on his
recent visit here, his battle
would have been lost without

by the Journal, for it not only

Gets Incubator

Mr.. S. long-distanced the city
editor of the Chicago American
and asked him to commander
that lone incubator. A few
hours later, Charles Blake,
working under instructions
from the New York Evening
Journal was in an airplane
with the precious incubator.
At Toronto. he was held up by
customs officials who hesitated
to sever red tape. Blake chafed
at the delay and finally con-
vinced the officials that this
was actually matter not only
of life and death but of Cana
dian national pride. From To-
ronto, he drove by car 24O
miles without a halt, over

A STRIKE IN 1884

Strikes occurred occasionally as long as CEN
fury ago. but they generally only scope
and involved few workers in comparison with those
OF the present. IAN account Of washerwoman's
strike i'm the London Times Of May 2 1884 contained
the following: .
mo fewer than 70 Of this useful class of female
struck at Kensington for higher wages. It appears
that two shillings and six pence per diem and two
half pints Of beer, had been the regular scale of
wages, but revolt agreed upon and the price
to be demanded fixed at three shlings per diem and
the usual beer allowance.
"Afer considerable time had been occupied In
parleying, the washerwomen gained their point and
after taking copious nbations of gin returned
to their tubs"
strike Of washerwomen may have been a SER
1ous matter 100 years ago, when the tub and wash
board We're the only clothes washing equipment avail
able. But such a strike would be of little concern
to the modern housewife whose washing machine en-
ables her to take of the household laundry work
with a slight outlay Of time and effort.
Another present day advantage is that the ma
chine demands no wages, neither does it have to be
placated with daily pint of beer.

WAR AND WHEAT PRICES

Every war of first magnitude is followed by a
temporary boom while depleted stocks are being re-
stored, according to writer in the New York Sun,
but after few years there is severe panic, with
decline in prices and in labor employment
The postwar boom in America ended in 1929
although the great collapse in wheat had come when
the wartime demands ended, the price dropping from
So to less than 81 bushel. ignoring the obvious
cause of this slump in price, politicians blamed the
existing marketing system and demand it's punish
ment.
This agitation, long continued, has discouraged
speculative support Of the market For nearly year
leaders of the grain trade have repeatedly warned
that excessive governmental tinkering and threats
new and more drastic laws such the socaled
Commodity Exchange bill offered at the last session
of Congress, would drive out that speculative sup
port so essential at crop movement time
Such warnings, informed editors and marketing
authorities point out, unheeded with the result
that the winter wheat crop recently harvested has
found market almost entirely devoid of the usual
valuable speculative support. AS inevitable, the
farmer has suffered as a consequence.

Constitution Week, beginning September II, will
be observed by the 1000 American Legion Posts OF
the United States, in nationwide plan to awaken
support the constitution and to foster loyalty
nation.
Events in the present day history Of our country
prove that Americans have allowed themselves to
drift into state of ethargy permitting communstic
organizations, two hundred in number to spread
the "red" doctrine of destruction over our nation.
Edward A. Hayes, National Commander of the
Legion in statement to all Post Commanders wrote
in part, follows: 49,.
Because of the continuous growth of insidious,
un-American propaganda, which is undermining
the confidence of the American people in the con-
stituton and our form of government, all Posts
being called upon to formulate plans for
nationwide patriotic observance on September IT
this year. The purpose of this demonstration is
to stimulate greater appreciation of our con-
stituton and the rights, benefits and privileges
guaranteed thereby.
'Every member Of our organization, upon being
accepted for membership, solemnly pledges him
self to support the ten purposes set forth in the
Legion preamble. The first of these ten purposes
is to uphold and defend the constitution of the
United States.
Let prove, by taking the lead in this OBJ
servance, that there is no place in America for
those who will not support and defend the con-
stituton."

GREAT TUNNEL OPENED

Many a British worker, skilled and unskilled, has
had job during the construction of the longest and
largest underwater tunnel in the world driven un-
der the River Mersey to the cities of Liver
pool and Birkenhead, which opened to traffic a
few days ago.
The new tunnel is named Queensway in honor
OF Queen Mary, and was formally opened by King
George, who threw switch Of gold which caused
electric motors to roll back huge curtain the
mouth of the great tube.
Queensway is two and one-seventh miles long
and A feet in diameter accommodating four lines of
traffic. It has been under construction nine years
and cost approximately $40 It is nearly half
mile longer than the great Holland tunnel under
the Hudson River which connects New York and
New Jersey
Speaking of the construction of Queensway, Sir
Basil Mott, chief engineer of the project paid a
generous compliment to American engineering skill
when he said: 1--WE owe much to experience gained

The death of Paul Hindenburg, president of
Germany, at the age of &c. of the worlds
Old Man."
Called from retirement in 1925 to the Re
public, following the death of President Ebert, he
ruled firmly and wisely for nine years. He first
elected for term of seven years, and reelected in
1882. Although he favored a monarchy, he respected
the wishes of the people and Loyalty supported the
Republic. His influence, although army man,
was on the side of peace
Events forced him finally to accept Adolph Hitler
chancellor, since which time the of the
ident has been slight. Following his death, Hitler
assumed the office of president temporarily and has
ordered election to select for August
10. Events of the past few weeks lead some to be-
lieve that his Hitlers) election will be merely
formality
Germany will sorely miss the steadying influence
of the dead president which never more needed
than in the present desperate situation in which that
country finds itself.
