MARION Ri DAVIES IS TRANSFERRED

Another Gre at Bungalow on M-G-M Lot Headed
 for New Future
By IsoBBIN CoONs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov i5.- With Marion Davies transfer from Metro Goldwyn-Mayer to Warner Bros, another stellar bungalow appears headed for more utilitarian purposes.
 Miss Davies elaborate dressing room on the M. c. M. lot is like a substantial private home, with it's white stucco and redtiled roof. Here she has entertained many visiting celebrities, including g George Bernard Shaw, prince and princesses, high officials and oth- CTS who come to tour the lot.
 With her departure, the bunga- low-five or six rooms with a large patio-probably will join those elaborate quarters occupied by John Gilbert and Cecil B. DeMille dur ing their terms at Metro.
 Gilbert's bungalow, erected wher John was the pride of the lot has been remodeled and expanded
 
 to serve as business offices for the David O. Selznick production saff. DeMille's house, wherein he keep many of the relics and souvenir acquired in the making of histori. cal films, now serves Irving c Thalberg, the young producer.

treated like friends when they came up for reelection.
 It would appear that if the sup port of these independent elements is to be kept, important conces- sions now are in order. And any concession in that direction would, in turn, be almost certain to re- arouse the suspicious of the right wingers who recently have been exchanging peace overtures with the White House.
 Of course, this is not a new question. The distinctly new fact about it, however, is that a presi- dential election now is in the of- fling, and no solution in sight.

NCE a year, from La Rochelle in
France, q ship departs, bearing
the most tragic cargo ever car
ried across the sea. 1t is the
Martiniere, and aboard her,
herded in three cages, are 600
convicts bound for Devils Island penal colony,

Locked in their cages the deportes spend 20
days en- route. They are well behaved, for
there are iron pipes all around, filled with
steam which can flood the cages in case OF
mutiny. But there isn't much chance for
mutiny-not with IS military police aboard.
So long the convicts are quiet they
left-200 in q cage-to their own devices.
Twelve hours before reaching st. Laurent,
the town on the Maroni River where the cargo
will disembark, the Martiniere passes close
to three beautiful palm shaded islands. each
about 20 acres in extent. known as the lies
du Saut. The Isles of Salvation-ironic name!
On two of these islands, ST. Joseph and lie
Royale, several hundred men lie in pest
houses and punishment cells while on the
third, lie du Diable are cast away the most
despised class of all criminals-traltors and
spies.
The deportes aboard the Martiniere push
and struggle to reach the portfolios for
glimpse of these deceptively beautiful islands,
for they knoY that despite all EFFORTS and all
prayers to the contrary, one in every eight
of them will in time be condemned to lie Royale
and st. Joseph, to suffer and die among the
flowers and the palms, and be fed to the
sharks.

head. A company of police supervise the dis
embarkation.
All the way out from France the chief topic
of discussion has been the possibility and
the methods Of escape. When they land at
st. Laurent (the prison headquarters where
new conyicts are received) they see the village
of Albina on the opposite bank Of the river, in
Dutch Guiana, and the idea that this village
soon will be their avenue Of escape becomes
fixed in their minds. They need only cross
the river. They do not know that thousands
of previous fugitives have tried this route and
failed; and If they knew. they would not care.
The very first moment they can elude the
guards, they swim across, or they are ferried
over by the bush Negroes for a fee. The new
corners who do not make this futile, routine
effort are few indeed.
But the Dutch do not welcome escaping
French convicts. Alert police seize the eva
sionist almost the moment he touches shore
and instantly send him back. II by some
rare chance he does manage to flee beyond
the settlements, the natives capture him to
earn the bounty of 81 which the prison
offers for his return.
The only real road to freedom is the sea
Ninety per cent Of the 200 successful escapes
during the last 10 years have been achieved
by means of small boats, bought or stoen In
which the fugitives beat their way 900 miles
along the coast to Venezuela or Trinidad.

"block house" to await trial. The tribunal
sits only three times a year. SO the prisoners
may have to endure four months Of special
detention.
The block house is designed for punishment.
In the ordinary barracks, where the well-be-
haved convicts live, they sleep on canvas ham,
mocks, earn a few sous day for cigarettes and
are fed enough to get along. But in the block
house they sleep on planks with their feet
manacled to an iron bar. They are allowed no
exercise no tobacco and no release from the
one common bull pen, except to empty, once
q day, their wooden toilet buckets. The heat
and the stencil are almost overpowering. When
their trial comes round many of the victims
have obliged the authorities by dying.

The tribunal was not In action while I was
In Guiana but had plenty of opportunity to

half naked oarsmen, rowed out to receive the
mail and the passengers, among whom I was
the only one not on oficial business.
Power boats are not used, since they might
be seized by the prisoners as means of escape.
Precautions are taken against the loss OF the
lifeboats also As I jumped aboard from the
steamer noticed that the eight oarsmen were
chained to their seats and were commanded
by military guard with revolver ready and

Hash Is An Old
 Dish OF Royalty

In the days before forks were known, hash was the dish most often served for kings and queens. and inded, a wel-prepared hash is not to be despised.
 Corned beef hash is perhaps the most popular of its kind. Here is the way Inez s. Wilson, home economist, prepares the very best corned beef hash that one could wish.
 Corned Beef Hash
 Wash the corned beef and fresh- en it for several hours. Then place 1t in heavy kettle, and pour hot slow fire until 1t is done, but not cooked so much that it is ragged.
 In the meantime boil or bake po-atoes in their skins. Let them cool, then remove the skins and dice them as for creamed pota- toes; that is. dice them very fine.
 Cut, but do not grind. the beef until it is about the same size as the potato dice to be used with it. Carefully combine the beef and potatoes in the proportion of about one part of corned beef to one of potatoes. Season to taste with on- ion juice. paprika, or minced green pepper; and for cups of beef and potatoes, add IA cup cream.
 Melt about tablespoons butter in a frying-pan put the hash in, and cook clowly until it is thor oughly heated. Then turn 1t out on serving platter and garnish # with parsley and bright red ra- dishes.

An omelet seems to be one of those dishes that fits any menu plan. Its delicate texture, it's mild flavor, it's attractive service and it's high degree of digestibility makes it a good breakfast, lunch or dim ner hot dish. for any season or for anybody.
 A fluffy. tender, perfectly Drowned omelet is a work of art and bespeaks a careful and skilled cook. To most of us. the fluffy om- elet is the one which is really an achievement. It requires good fresh eggs and careful cook.
 Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs first. Add little salt to the whites and beat them until stiff but be very careful not to beat them dry. Overstretching the elas- ticity of the egg whites will make them break down in mixing.
 Beat the yolks lightly and add the salt, pepper and whatever li- quid is to be used, allowing A cup for every A eggs.
 Plain milk, cream or evaporated milk or thickened white sauce may be used. The sauce adds a little body to the omelet and helps to hold it up better after it is re- moved from the oven. Often times a white sauce is made for the veg etables and small amount of it may be used in the omelet.
 Stir the liqudi into the yolks of eggs. Then with a great deal of care, fold the egg yolks into the whites with slow over and over motions until the whole is smooth ly blended and is still very light and fluffy.
 Have 1 cup butter or bacon drippings melted in the frying pan. Pour the omelet into the pan and let it cook over a low fire for at least 15 minutes. It should gradu- ally cook through from the bottom to the top, allowing the air in the egg to expand very gradually after which the egg itself must act. A 6 egg omelet should entirely fill a medium sized frying pan when done. After it is set and nicely Drowned on the bottom, peptit into moderately hot oven for the length of time needed to dry off the top.

 While a plain omelet is delicious, a different omelet is always a treat. Chopped meat, grated cheese or jelly may be spread over the top just before folding. Ground meats, chopped olives, mushrooms or crisp bacon can be folded into the whites of eggs before coking. A method of serving which is espe- cially adaptable to luncheon or
