block and in stripes. It may not be an Indian motif but it certain ly looks to most people as if a few braves" had let their paint brushes dip where they pleased.
 Shocks Await
 One of the rooms already com pleted, the private office of Post master Kelley, can be entered only by the hardest. The writer got safely inside the door and turned to flee but there was not escape from a view of walls solidly cov- cred with brilliant, vivid, eye-bulg- ing green. The ceiling is white, the upper walls are tannish white, but the main portions of the walls are greener than even the most Irish green ever thought of be- ing. Nor is that all, for there are two shades of the green, one above the panels and one below. One expects at any minute to see flow. CTS grow on the wall or see ~an oriole arise from the grass.
 And Still More
 The finance offices provide a let down, being done in conservative tan and white, but then a step back into the lobby and there strikes the eyes the explosive hues of the samples near the stairway leading to the second floor. On the stairway wall, itself, to half its full height, there have been placed coats of compelling, solid black.
 But over the stairway, ah, there is the spot. The red, of whatever shade or shades it is, stands out like an orange tie on St Patrick's day. Rivaling it strongly, though, are the yellow and black stripes, and the solid yellow and black.
 With the whole lobby done in similar fashion, if it is, all that will have to be done for the complete Indian atmosphere is to pile some leaves on the floor and get a few fathers. The war paint will be there already.

'R0CKABYE HAS
 PERFECT ROLE
 FOR LA BENNETT
Joel McCrea and Paul Lu- kas Share Honors with
 Lovely Star in Film

Let RKO-Pathe be praised for "Rockabye" and Constance Ben nett Here is a splendid example of a perfect vehicle for Miss Ben nett's talents and personality. A strong drama in itself, it is made doubly so by the presence of Joel McCrea and Paul Lukas in roman tic leads.
 "Rockabye," current at the Coli scum Theatre, is a powerful drama in which it is revealed that sin -and-saint girl has two ways of loving. One love is just a pas sionate pastime. The other love is deathless and capable of great sac rifices because it arouses the moth- CT instinct-because she wants the man to be husband and father, not just a lover.
 Judy Carroll, an actress, learns how smart it is to be good only after she is embroiled in front page scandal. This scandal robs her of Lilybet, an adopted orphan, taken from her because of her sud- den notoriety After Lilybet has been torn from her Miss Bennetts $ scene with her mother, the ter rible "Snooks" whose only virtue is her love for 'muddy's own baby girl" is one you may long remem- Der for it's poignant simplicity and naturalness.
 When this wound is somewhat healed Judy meets Jake Pell, au- thor of "Rockabye," a play she has set her heart on doing, despite the insistence of De Sola, her mana ger, that it is too parallel to cer- tain things in her own past that had best be forgotten.
 But Judy falls in love with Pell- seriously, truly, divinely-and it is the quality of her love that brings out the nobility in Judy and brings "Rockabye" to a tremendous and tear-compelling finish.
 Jobyna Rowland ra tes special mention for her performance of "Snooks." Others in the cast are U. M. Kerrigan, Clare Blandick Charles Middleton, Walter Pidgeon Walter Catlett and little June Fil- mer.

CONGRESS AID IS SOUGHT IN
 HOPPER WAR
Plea Is Made for Two and One Half Million Dol
 lars for Fight

MITCHELL, $. D., Jan. 29.-Ir order to battle grasshopper in- festation which has grown steadily since 1928 until it is found in eight states and part of Canada, Con gress is to be asked to appropriate not less than $2,500,000.
 Endorsed unanimously by the re- cent National Farm Conference up on presentation of a resolution by w. R. Ronald, publisher of the Mitchell Evening Republican, the proposal, say it's advocates, vii have administration support.
 Egg Survey Forecast Basis
 As shown in a map prepared by the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture, the in festation now has spread to 25t counties and 1888, ,666 acres in the states of Idaho, Minnesota, Mon tana, Nebraska, North Dakota South Dakota, Wyoming and Wis consin In Canada the provinces affected are Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
 The grasshopper survey was made by examining the number of eggs at specific points. The conclusion of the bureau is that the survey points to one of the worst out breaks of grasshoppers in 1884 ex- perienced in the history of Ameri- can agriculture.
 Not only have the insects grown steadily more numerous since 1928 but in the past year a species call ed the migratory" grasshopper has appeared. This is a relative of the Rocky Mountain locust, which ruin- ed crops over wide area from 1873 to 1876.
 Poison Bran Advised The migratory grasshopper de- posits eggs all over fields of all kinds. Tn the southern portion of the affected area only the non-mi- gratory species was found. This kind leaves eggs only in the grass along fences and around fields.
 The Bureaus recommendation is that poison bran be spread near where the 'hoppers hatch, as they must be destroyed before going afield. Since the areas in which eggs of the migratory species are found are much more limited, the task of destroying them is sim pier than that of combating the migratory 'hoppers whose eggs are laid so indiscriminately that whole fields must be bated.
 The bureau estimates $1,680,000 would be required for the purchase of bait alone, in addition to trans portation and spreading expense. This latter might be furnished in part by counties or states or be made a Civil Works project.
 A wet and late spring would hold the grasshoppers at least partly under control, but on the other hand, it is pointed out that favor able weather would result in disas- ter Developed in sufficient num- bers, the grasshoppers leave farms without spear of any kind of crop and even take the leaves from the trees.

From Squalor to Luxury Is Barbara Stanwyck's
 Route in Picture

 It is Barbara Stanwyck's most daring role since Illicit" and Might Nurse" The star herself was enthusiastic about the oppor- tunities offered her in Baby Face from the moment sine read the story
 Baby Face" is the dramatic story of a girl born and reared in the squalor of the slums of steel town. Step-daughter Of beer flat proprietor. her step-father's only interest in the girl is to use her beauty to attract the mill workers to his dive.
 A gruff old shoemaker. who reads and breaches the doctrines of Nietzsche while he mends shoes. inspires Lily to use men, instead of permitting men to use her.
 From that moment with her beauty and charm as her sole stock in trade, men are merely stepping stones on the road to wealth, lux ury and security from the poverty Lily leaves behind after the acci- dental death of her stepfather. Ruthlessly she takes from each in turn everything he has to give her and goes on to the next, taking care that each succeeding admirer shall be wealthier and more power fuI than the last.
 George Brent, whose rise to pop ularity has been sensational since he joined the ranks of Warner Bros. featured players, has the leading role opposite Miss Stan wyck.
