said, as charwomen, mechanics and
other workers will continue on their

Overtime Causes Concern.
The virtual placing of the Interior
Department on daylight saving time
found a divided sentiment for the
new regime. Some favor it heartily,
provided they get off at $3.50 pm. as
the rule calls for, but others are fear
full that it will mean, in effect, the
adding on of an extra hour to the
days work, as they will not be re-
leased at the earlier time, but will
have to work through until the Gus
tomary quitting time (which, in some
instances, is as late as 6 and o'clock

ministration. most of whom are new

Mr.. Hopkins said the District admin
istration no doubt was actuated by
the fact that there are fewer persons
now on the relief rolls
Hopkins had two of his personal
advisers in attendance at yesterday S
conference with Commissioner Allen
and other District relief officials.
They were Arch Mandell, field repre-
sentative for this area, and Thomas
Hibben, field engineer dealing with
the work side of relief. They report
ed to him on his return from New
York that the situation here had
been worked out satisfactorily.
1t was expected the first advance
on the June relief funds would be
paid in few days.

Allen is now handling the District re-

was fully prepared to grant the $725,-
900 which Allen now seeks to defray
June relief expenses in the District.
Commissioner Allen is cooperating
with US very well,' the relief admin
istrator said, "and I see no reason
why the District should not get the
full amount necessary for this month. ="

STILL HOPE TO ATTAIN
JEWISH RELIEF GOAL
Leaders in United Appeal Cam
paign Carrying on Quiet
Canvass for Funds.

Still determined to attain their
$4,000 objective, leaders in the
United Jewish Appeal are carrying
on quiet canvass for funds, although
drive forces have been disbanded.
At a meeting last night at the
Jewish Community Center, the final
rally of workers, it was reported that
$4,000 had been collected from a
total of 1900 contributors. This sum
compared with a total of $4,000
raised last year from 1000 donors.
Isidore Hershfleld, drive chairman,
expressed confidence that 300 or more
contributions could yet be obtained.
He pointed out that similar drives
being held in principal cities through
out the United States are reaching
their quotas this year. The National
United Jewish Appeal is seeking So
100000 for the relief of destitute
European Jews and for the settle
ment of German Jewish refugees in
Palestine.

BOYS LEAD, 9-4,
IN F|LMLAND
STORK RACE
By WALLACE x. RAWLES
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. II Q.N.S0

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. II Q.N.SO.
The boys win.
And by a score of 9 to 4.
Birth of a curly-haired, seven
and.one.half-pound son to Clara
Boy Sunday was the nirth boy to
be born to Hollywood screen
couples, stork statistics for 1884
revealed today. During the year
to date four girls arrived to glad
den homes of cinema celebrities.
Both Doing Well
Both the mother, famous "It"
girl of motion pictures, and the
boy, were doing splendidly at
Santa Monica Hospital.
Clara and Rex Bell, the cowboy
father, were especially happy that
their first child was a son. A
pony already waits his first "gid-
dap" and a brand new nursery at
their ranch home will receive the
newcomer within a very short
time. The Bells believe the ranch
is the place to bring up child.
1t looked as though the girls
were going to win the Hollywood
stork race by wide margin when
the year started. First arrived
Melinda at the home of Joan
Bennett and Gene Markey last
February.
Then came Mary Caroline to
grace the home of Dorothy
Jordan and Merriam C. Cooper.
Robert Allen was the first male
arrival of the year at the home
of Billie Dove and Robert KenaS-
ton.
Margaret Avourten boosted the
score for the girls when she came
to the home of Patricia and Pat
O'Brien.
But son at the home of Lima
Basquette and Teddy Hayes put
the boys back in the running.
A daughter at the home of
Maxine Daley Lewis and Donald
Cook made the score four to two
in favor of the ladies.
Twins Turn Tide
Dennis Michael and Philip
Lang, twin arrivals July 13 at
the home of Dixie Lee and Bing
Crosby turned the tide definitely
in favor of the boys.
Harry Joe. 3D.. arrived to glad
den the hearts of Sally Eilers
and Harry Joe Brown.
Norman Scott was the stork' S
next delivery to Joan Blondell
and George Barnes.
Timothy Andrew less than a
month later arrived at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Andy Devine.
Richard arrived December 13
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs,
Daryl Zanuck.

brella-or something?"
Here! Quick! Lend a hand, fell
lah!" Tinker grasped the hand
of the tall man and swung himself
down onto the tracks. He bent
his little body over and swooped
up the pigeon. He almost lost his
footing as he hoped aside for the
steel monster that bore down to-
ward him. And, although the train
was slowing to stop. two whole
cars passed over the track where the
pigeon had been before it came to
stop.
The tall fellow leaned down and
drew Tinker up to the platform, while
the crowd surged about, laughing and
cheering. A girl took the bird ten
derly in her arms.
What is your name, pal?" asked
the tall fellow.
Tinker To I mean Joseph L.
Carter" stammered Tinker. looking
up at him. The man grasped Tinker's
little hand in his.
We'll, I'm proud to know you. Car
ter! 1t takes big man to risk his
own life for that of a bird This is
one of the biggest things I've seen in
my life, and I'll never forget it,"
THE bird-it was so small"
Tinker apologized.
"See this tiny man in his own sur
roundings! Tinker Toy! The small
est man in the world" advertised
the barker in front of the Midget
Village.
See you've been getting yourself in
the paper!" smiled the giant gate
keeper as he lifted Tinker from the
platform, "but I've always known that
it takes big man to be midget"
Tinker smiled up at his friend
and trotted into the village. And the
heart that swelled under his tiny,
made-to-order shirt really seemed too
big for his body.

He was doing a little staring himself
at the man who sat across the aisle
from him, the tall, straight, slim man
with one long, slender leg thrown
over the other.
Now, if I were feet tall I should
be a policeman. thought Tinker, or
even a captain in the Army! When
I went out in the evenings I should
wear tall silk hat and trousers with
a stripe down the leg. But would be
q dashing fellow.
What a mani" I would make the
girls say, instead of Isn't he cute?"
When I rode on trains or cars I should
always stand of course, grasping one
of those straps in the ceiling and
reading my paper. I would ride spir-
tied horses and play polo Play tennis!
! would swim for mpionshlps-and
I might even do a little wrestling! I
have always felt, too. that trapeze per-
forming had its good points. I would
float through the air with the greatest
of ease.
And I would have me a tall girl
too No little mites for me! I would
sit with one leg over the other, like
that fellow across the aisle. And
would ride the surface cars just for
the fun of throwing my legs out into
the air and hopping them after they
had started! Tinker's face grew hot
as he remembered how once a man
had actually picked him up and set
him on the platform, thus winning a
laugh for himself from the onlookers,
but blush for Tink.

his way out under arms and bundles.

her, "and let the next train get him?"
