school. She Is in trouble. She
sneaks away often to meet her

approach make it impossible to
reveal their secret. But finally.
Dorothy is punished so severely
at school for her inattention that
she breaks down and reveals her
plight. To her amazement her
friends do not snub her. They are
closer than ever.
Here then is great drama in

place and absorb the warmth from
dancing flames, while listening to
the rush of water from the caves
spot and wondering how one best
could spend such day in Holly
wood.
Rain has very dampening eff
feet upon the film colony, not only
externally, but mentally. Those
who have no work stick close to
home and those no must go to
the studio are anything but con-
versational.
You would think they would
welcome q brief respite from the
ever-shining sun. But they don't.
They brood and complain.
So one stays by the Preside and
contemplates. What would be
the perfect way to spend such a
day?

An-Weather Laughter

First, would take Mary Brian
to lunch at LEWIS. On never
does anything before noon in the
film capital, particularly on a rainy
day.
Mary is bright and cheerful. She
can laugh about anything and al
ways has a couple of new stories
to tell. Her companionship and
CHEEKY smile would be certain to
make the day look brighter.
And what could be better rainy
day luncheon than the steaming
oyster stew concocted so beauti-
fully at Levy's?
We would sit there for a couple
of hours discussing various sub
jects and swapping tales with
others. Ned Sparks would stop
long enough to grumble about the
rain. Ned always is grumbling
about something, but he does 1t in
such manner that it's funny.
Pat O'Brien would suggest that
we forget everything and go back
to Honolulu. Wynne Gibson would
stop just long enough to tell us
new funny story.
Indoor Exercises
After lunch I would go over to
the Hollywood Athletic Club for
some handball with Bert Wheeler,
while Bob Woolsey sat on the side
lines and made remarks about
chumps who are always exercising.
Forty minutes of handban, fol-
lowed by a swim and a cold show
er, would bring thoughts of a
cocktail.
That's where Jeanette MacDon-
aid would come into the picture.
For a girl who doesn't indulge,
Jeanette knows plenty about mix
ing tasty drinks. Lois Moran used
to be that way, too. She never
touched a drop herself, but she
was my favorite beverage mixer
upper.
Aside from being able to mix
good drinks, jeanette will let
you mix your own, If you prefer
she's grand company for any kind
of an afternoon. A brilliant girl,
she can carry on any kind of
conversation - highbrow, lowbrow
or in between.
Dinner time would bring Clau-
dette Colbert, Norman Foster,
Norma Shearer, Irving Thalberg.
Jimmy and Lucille Gleason, Una
Merkel, and Ronald Burla to our
home. This diversified group,
while being congenial, would fur
nish variety of conversation
ranging from serious topics con-
corning world affairs to the latest
gossip on f1lmdom's romances.

MELONS Former
Assistants Have
Him On the Run

w.
Mellon, greatest secretary of the
treasury since Alexander Hamilton, -
has acquired doubtful fame as being
the first secretary of the treasury to
be sued by the government on charges
of using his office to save himself from
paying 100000 due in income taxes.
At the same time his $280,000,OOO
Union Trust Co. is also being sued for
alleged dummy sales to create fictitious
losses. The Bureau of Internal Rev
enue, which he formerly bossed, and
the Department of Justice are behind
the prosecution.
Mellon denied the charges as "im-
pertinent, s%candalous and improper,
but did not deny that he acquired great
skill' while secretary of the treasury
in handling the tax laws. The govern
ment says Mellon failed to pay taxes
of $2,O50,0O0 due in 1881, and asks a
50 per cent penalty for fraud, making
the total sum claimed due $~3,075,000.
Mellon Sold" to Union Trust and
Ascalot Corporation shares Of stock in
Pittsburgh Coal, American Locomotive,
Texas Gulf Sulphur, United Light &
Power, Westinghouse and Western
Public Service on which he claimed
Closes" Of sos 25,000-all of it fictitious,
according to the Department of Justice,
because Union Trust is owned by the
Mellon family, Of which he is the head.
Similar charges against Union Trust
involving a loss of $1,772,0OO are based
on sales" by Union Trust Of stocks to
Union Savings, Of which it owns 90
per cent of the stock. Bethlehem Steel,
Pennroad and American Cyanamid
were among the stocks sold"
MELONS gross income in 1881, a bad
year, was $15,951, 900, Of which $751;
$4,000 was net, the government de-
clares. But Uncle Andy said his gross
income that year was only ~$l0,S4O,OOO,
and due to losses" his net was a
meager 81, $4,000.
The cases will be thrashed out in
Washington before the board of tax
appeals. On the day the government
filed these charges, Andy informed the
press that he intended to give his art
treasures, valued at millions, to the
public through trustees. Pittsburgh
was alarmed when it was rumored
these treasures would be placed in a
Washington art gallery. 1t was de-
MED that Pittsburgh is too filthy a
place to keep priceless pictures which
has acquired from the Hermit
tage gallery in Leningrad and from
other European galleries.

BIDDLE EXPRESSES OPTIMISM ON
ENFORCEMENT OF HOUDE DECISION

WASHINGTON. Up Starting
with none too good a send-off from
labor, Francis Biddle, new chairman of
the Nat. Labor Relations Board, en-
phasized to the press November 20 that
he was entirely in accord with the
Houde decision.
The law had been clearly inter
preted through this decision, he said,
which called for an employer to recog-
nize the majority organization of a
given group of employees; their exclu-
sive agent for collective bargaining.
Now it was a matter for enforcement.
Biddle stated. He expressed optimism
that the Department of Justice would
act in the matter, despite its record of
postponing action.
The appointment of Biddle, wealthy
Philadelphia lawyer, was protested by
