 She would consider life very pleasant if she never need get up until both hands of the clock were straight up. Unfortunately, her picture work won't permit that. Getting Serious?
 Quite a number of film folk en- toying the evening festivities around the Beverly Wiltshire Gold bert Marshall. and Gloria Swan- son comprising an interesting threesome things always are interesting when Gloria's around Virginia Pine. the extra girl who earns $10 a day and spends $50, dancing with Count Alfredo Carpcgna shes the estranged wife of wealthy Chicagoan |. Russ Columbo paying almost too much attention to Sally Blame [. and sister, Loretta Young, getting an equal amount from Spencer Tracy wonder just how se- rious those affairs are?
 Likes to Telephone
 A good bit of the time that Kay is at home is spent at the tele- phone. She loves lengthy phone chats and if she doesn't receive enough calls to keep her busy, she herself does the calling.
 All her time isn't spent telephon- ing, of course. A casual visitor may find her sitting on the floor of her living room, reading a mag azine. or perhaps brushing up on her card tricks. She is intensely interested in photography and lit- erally devours foreign magazines devoted to camera art.
 She also might be found in the yard looking for four-leaf clovers That's another favorite pastime.
 Rays name seldom is mentioned in the romantic gossip which flows so freely in Hollywood. However now that she has separated from Kenneth MeKenna and probably will be filing her divorce suit soon that condition may change.
 The brunei actress is a mighty attractive girl, who isn't going to be overlooked by the film colony's bachelor element.
 And her two marriages are proof that she is susceptible to those sweet nothings which a de- voted swain can whisper, whether it's spring or winter.
 Now you have the real life pic ture of the Kay Francis who long has been a favorite of movie audi enceS.

Miss Colbert is a runaway society heiress accustomed to rid ing roughshod over the rest of the world. Just what happens when these two are forced to spend Il week togethe :. but the story's too good to be banded about. You'll thank us for it later-see If you don't. .

CAPONE CASE GOES
TO HIGH TRIBUNAL
Petition Asks Supreme Court
to 0verruIe Georgia
Judge.
lly the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Alphonse Capone, convicted Chi
cago gangster, yesterday asked the Su-
creme Court to review the judgment
of lower courts denying him writ OF
habeas corpus filed against A. G.
Aderhold, warden of the Atlanta peni-
lentiary.
The petition was filed for Capone
by Attorneys william E. Leahy and
William J. Hughes jr., of Washington.
1t contended Capone was tried in the
Federal District Court in Illinois and
convicted on three charges OF violating
the internal revenue laws after ex-
piration of the statute of limitations.
The petition said Capone was con-
victed for violation of the income tax
laws for the calendar years 1925, 1926
and 1927, and indictments were not
returned until June S, 1881.
Sentenced to 10 Years.
The petition said on these three
counts Capone, who recently was
transferred to the new Federal prison
at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, was
sentenced to an aggregate of 10 years
In the penitentiary and to pay fine
of $4,000 on those three counts.
The indictment, the petition said,
Showed on its face that the offenses
charged in counts 1, and 9 were
committed more than three years prior
to the filing of the indictment"
Three-Year Limit.
The petition cited that the Internal
Revenue laws provide three-year
limitation on such charges, except TOR
cases wherein defendants defraud or
attempt to defraud the Government.
1t cited that in the prosecution of Ca
pone, Government attorneys con-
tended the offenses in the three
counts involved defrauding or at
tempting to defraud the United
States, and that hence the period of
limitation applicable to said offenses
are six years and not three"
Capone filed his petition for a
habeas corpus writ in the Federal
Court of Northern Georgia and it was
denied. He appealed to the Circuit
Court of Appeals in the fifth circuit,
which affirmed the judgment of the
lower court.

any man at moment when the present taxes are burdensonie. We realize full well that many of the changes in tax struc- ture contemplated cannot be accomplished without some expense. Therefore, we wonder if there aren't substitute modifica- tions that could be tried.
 Taxes are terrible, to be sure. With less ability to pay them, the rates have continued, in many cases, to rise. But It is just as well to understand this point. So far, it has been local taxes. Federal taxes have not really touched us as yet. The federal costs of relief and recovery are still mere entries in the Treasury ac- count. But they will have to be paid off sooner or later and that means bigger burden for the average man. We don't quite see the logic in changing our struc- ture then in the face of a dismal future like that.
 We do see, though, tn eurgent necessity of pairing the costs of government to the bone. We do see the need of declaring a moratorium on lavish expenditures for road projects. We do see need for do- ing without many of the things to which we have become accustomed and for which we calmly expect the state to be the author. We need to do some very simple living until we have recovered our sound financial footing. Incorporated into this can be many of the plans that have been laid for changing our system of taxation in the state. They go hand in hand with efficient government at lower rates.

Debts are Filling Up

There is link between the proposed plan of the Special Tax Commission and the payment of the huge debt that the na- tion is mourning in promoting its relief program. It should be studied not covert ly by the taxpayer, but rather openly. In the end he will be the one to foot the bill. This idea of saying that future genera tions are going to pay for the millions now being spent to give men and women Jobs is nonsense. Most of us will pay our fair share of this big bill
 That's one reason why we hesitate to throw whole-hearted support to the tax commission which has just set up before us new tax machinery guaranteed to re- move the inequalities against which we now carp. The real estate owner to-day is overtaxed. We admit that readily. 1t was with this in mind that the Legisla-. ture was prevailed upon to set up special board to study the situation here in Con- ,ecticut and to advise remedies and means of escape.
 Now that it has been done 1t does seem i bit unfair to condemn out of hand the eommission's splendid work and It's many RelpfuI suegestions. We don't think that FSnlIy ie fho cause of tho several pieces of efiticism we heard voiced. The man otjcction lies in the incfease of taxes to

Vienna Letter

A
 Vienna (UP)--Reports trickling through the censor from Soma ln- dicate Bulgaria's new dictator has crushed the long-dreaded "lmro, or secret Macedonian Revolution ary Party.
 Their leader, the fiery Ivan Michailov, popularly known as Little One'' or Jack fled into Turkey. His followers are being track down.
 The man who dared to do this ia General Kimon Georghieff, Bull garia's new premier and dictator. In less than three months he has accomplished what no other Bull garian stateman would have dreamed of trying. Name Caused Shudders 6 6 Before General Georghieff took over the Bulgarian government py a bloodless coup d'etat, the very name of "Imro'' made Bulgarians shudder.
 Ivan Michailov, at the head of small, but fearless group or rev. olutionary fighters, struck terror wherever he went. Money obtained from abroad was used to buy bombs and bullets to terrorize suc- cessive Bulgarian governments. The goal of Michailov and his followers was to establish an in- dependent Macedonian state. The Macedonians, by the peace treaty were divided between Bulgaria, Greece and Jugoslavia. The lead CTS mad etheir headquarters in Bulgaria, but they carried out dar- ing raids across the Greek and Jugoslav frontiers. The govern ment was powerless to halt their activities.
 | Slight Figure
 The man who was responsible for this situation does not look as terrible as his reputation. He is a slight, sinewy fellow of great per sonal charm. His mind is very ac- tive and despite his ruthless meth- ods is kind hearted. For years he
 was the most loved, feared and
 hated man in the Balkans. He had
 nearly a half million follows in Bulgaria.
 The man who ended Michailov's resign has only one eye. The other
 he lost in the war. Georghien IS said to be mil dmannered, almost
 taciturn. He wears glasses and has ! a mouStache.
