Current Problems.
As part of the Federal Govern
ment's campaign against organized
crime. Cummings said that upon his
return to Washington he will call a
crime conference to be held there in
the early part of December. At this
conference the whole problem will be
studied in a manner not heretofore at
tempted" he said.
Il am hopeful also that it will be
possible to establish at Washington a
national institute of criminology,
which will concern itself not only with
the study of crime problems. but also
with the practical side of police work"
Public Cooperation Need.
The campaign against crime cannot
succeed without popular understand
ing and cooperation. he explained,
adding You, my friends. can direct
your efforts toward the building up
of a stout hearted public morale

The immediate effect of the order is

got through a rider to the Treasury
appropriation bill barring payment of
salaries to employees who had not again
qualified for their positions by Deem
Der /, next. This threw the Jobs into
open competition, and when the Treas
ury and Civil Service Commission fixed
the maximum age at so, more than
$50 experienced men over this age, for
whom the Treasury unsuccessfully
sought exemption, were automatically
barred.
1t was the contention Of the Treas
ury that newcomers to the service over
this age were not desirable, but the
Civil Service Commission opposed max
ing any difference in the age limit
between experienced and non-experi-
enced men.
Chance Given to Qualify.
The Presidents action cannot insur
them their jobs, but does give
chance TO qualify.
Inc I,oOO other persons for whom the
age limits will be waived include many
in classes from clerical upward. While
so far as is known it was not originally
intended that they should take re-
examinations, Attorney General Cum
mings has ruled that the appropri-
alton rider is so broad that they are
! caught within its terms. The ex-
aminations for these, which also will
be open generally, have not been
arranged.
In his orders the President has said
that he was acting in the public in
terest.

announcing the arrival of Lindbergh'S
car outside the building. The trip
from Englewood was made in fast

with a State trooper as chauffeur.
The trip across the Hudson River took
them over the George Washington
Bridge.
AS the colonel'S car drove up to the

Hauptmann Guarded.
Hauptmann was brought to the
County Building early in the sheriff S
steel prison van, equipped with bullet
proof glass. His arrival coupled with
Col. Lindbergh'S scheduled appearance
before the grand jury led to questions
as to whether the flyer would go TO
the district attorneys office in an
attempt to identify Hauptmann.
Police headquarters said that Lind
bergh did not wish a police escort
through the streets of the city and
would prefer to go to the grand jury
hearing with as little attention as
possible.
Accordingly. Deputy Inspector Rey-
nolds advised headquarters that he
had cleared the grand concourse in the
vicinity of the Bronx County Building
of practically all motor and pedestrian
traffic.
Several persons occupied vantage
points on the roofs Of two fve-story
apartment houses on the west side OF

Born of Chinese parents in Los
Angeles, I received my initiation into
the movies by watching the filming
of silent pictures in Chinatown. I
remember Mae Murray, being directed
by Bob Leonard And the first actress
to whom I ever spoke was the late
Alma RubenS. I remember crowding
into an elevator with her and asking,
Are you really Alma RubenS?' From
then on I was bound to get in pic

was a little girl, but if Hollywood
needed f1apperS, I was determined to
qualify. 1 had noticed that the sure
way to f1apperism evidently started
in makeup. So I borrowed my moth

Chinese paper and rubbed the color
on my cheeks and lips. Then l curled
my long. straight black hair A direc-

attempt to be blase.
Had I remained in Hollywood I do
not know where this sort of exterior,
and its automatic mental influence,
would have taken me. But, at the
height of flapperism, had a chance
to go to Germany At about the same
time, was walking in Hollywood one
day when a truck driver nearly ran
over me and shouted "Chinkl" Right

seemed to regain some of my Chinese
philosophy - that of not hurrying
through life, of not struggling.
In Europe, I started taking it easy,
forgetting to flap and finding more
enjoyment in the study of the Ian

night spots.

We could not decide whether it was
