Studio Gives Grant
New Term Contract

Paramount today took up an.
other long-term option on the
contract of Cary Grant who, after
finishing wings in the Dark"
his present assignment, is Sched-
uled to play opposite Claudette
Colbert in lone woman" Q story

A1Cer making a statement ike
the above, it is not only customary
and befitting but expected that
columnist should carry on with
the proof and it happens to be
proof of the cinematic pudding"
this time.
To point at a few examples
Brian Ahearne was a footlight
hit, but was forced to try twice
in Hollywood before he got the
raves of the tickle movie fans.
His work with Helen Hayes in
What Every Woman Knows" did
the trick. When he appeared with
Marlene Dietrich he was given the
well-known pooh-pooh!
Carl Brisson was a big favorite
in Europe. Brought to Hollywood
by Paramount, he was given a
chance in Murder at the Vani-
ties" Luckily for him the public
gave the nod of acceptance, and
he's to get a stellar rating from
now on.
Mae West, long a favorite on
Broadway, was the most surprised
woman in the world when the fans
went daffy over her work in a
minor role in support of George
Raft in Might After Night" In
fact, Mae had wanted to quit the
film and it was Director Archie
Mayo who made her remain in the
part.
The screen public in America
is an entirely different element
from Broadway stage audiences
and the public of Europe. They
have their own opinions, likes and
dislikes. They prefer to form their
own judgments and build their
own idols rather than accept
ready-made regulations.
On the other hand, there have
been a number of stage and radio
personalities who have failed to
put themselves over and have
gone back to their original fields
of endeavor. At the same time,
working side by side with them,
are new comers out Of obscurity
whom the public preferred to ac-
cept and elevate in lieu OF the
already established stars.
There is no doubt that if the
Prince of Wales. Queen Marie or
Mussolini were to come to Holly
wood to star in pictures, they
would have to take the same
chances on registering for con-
tinued success as would Dotty
Coughdrop and Joe Doakes.

the place where the worst eggs

One way to help hide the radi-

walls.
A damp, clean sponge is better
than brush to take lint off of
broadcloth. . .=
To keep the electric waffle iron
bright and clean, use ordinary bak-

Do not fasten linoleum to the
floor until two weeks after it has
been laid. This allows it to
stretch.
Cottage cheese is good cheese
for little children. Mix it with
chopped raisins for sandwiches.
Dip the measuring cup in cold
water before measuring molasses
or thick syrup. The syrup will
pour much more easily.

1t would not be surprising if at the COM
ing session of the legislature proposed
amendments to the state constitution did not
call for a complete remodeling of that funda-
menal law, to limit terms of public office to
six years with second terms barred; and
complete new set-up for the legislature, CIV
ing each county one state senator to be elect
ed for six years, one third to rotate every
two years, and each to be paid, not on the
present SIS per diem while in session, but
small flat yearly salary. The House will be
elected as at present, membership of 80 to
100 based upon population census.
The larger counties will wall under
such program. But the United States Sen
ate is so apportioned, two members from each
state, so that the smallest state in the I'm
ion in population has he same representation
in that body as New York or any other large
state. -f#~ J~.@~

a HUNTING WE WILL co..

The favorite old song "a Hunting We
Will Co. is heard about now. A million or
two men and boys are cleaning up the old
shooting iron, and preparing to get out in the
fields and woodlands for a date with the wild
creatures. A considerable supply of game is
reported in many localities, thus contradict
ing the idea that all wild life is being EXTERN
mated by excessive hunting.
Yet the man behind the gun needs to
have care. The number of hunting acct
dents each year is deplorable. It is pitiful
thing for family, when the hunter who
went out so cheerfully for his autumnal sport
returns severely wounded, or perhaps his life
was terminated by some careless sportsman.
It is poor trade to go out for hun or a
deer, and lose your life
Many hunters become so excited when
they see what they think is game, that they
lose caution and judgment. If they see a
movement in the bushes, many of them blaze
away. Then when the object indistinctly
seen proves to be another hunter, they have
demonstrated their unfitness to have con-
troll of firearms. They should stay at home
and play croquet or some other sport where
they can't hurt anybody.
Farmers complain in many localities
about the danger to which their families and
their animals are exposed while the hunters
are blazing away near by Never fire gun

WORST CITY" ON DECLINE

Chicago is member of the younger set
as American cities go but ever since people
have heard of the Windy City they have been
told of the "bigger and better Chicago" and
have pictured the bigger and worsh Chi
cago."
No longer can either of these phrases in
the superlative be applied to the metropolis
of the Middle West. Census figures show for
the last four years population decline of
$4,000 rather than the usual increase of
900. And Chicago's birth rate being high
er than her death rate this means her emf
grants exceed her immigrants by consider
ably more than $4,000.
AS for taking the Chicago of today for
better or worse the foreigner" must be
guided by what he reads in the newspapers,
where he now finds something besides crime
news emanating from Cook County. There
may have been no fewer gang killings in the
last two years but the Century of Progress
worlds fair has filled enough newspaper
space to create the impression far and wide
that one can be other than an innocent by
stander on the shores of Lake Michigan.
AS the gilt and tinsel peel off next win
ter it will be seen how much the smaller and
better Chicago resembles the bigger and
worst Chicago of yesteryear.

THE FALL BONFIRE

In every village the fall bonfire is pub
lie institution. The blue tinted smoke curls
lazily up to heaven from the smouldering
leaves and vines. It is not wholly popular
institution, since the householder often lights
the heaped up pile without asking whether
the smoke is going to blow on the clothes
line next door.
The fall bonfire gets rid Of a vast amount
of rubbish. If your dead leaves and faded
vines and plants go up in smoke, they aren't
littering up your home place with their UNI
slightly refuse.
AS those cheerful flames begin to dance,
the kid element flock from all quarters. In
the good old days, the householder had a way
of sticking few apples and potatoes into the
heap. The roasted fruit extricated later
from the ashes tasted better than the cpl
cures food. It made Junior feel as if he
were a mighty big chief, living an Indian life

THE PRINCIPLES OF GREATNESS

AS nations go, the United States is
very young country. Where We have l50
years of history behind us, other powers
have thousands.
Yet no nation can point to more in
spring pastor to a history which has given
finer traditions America sprang full-fledg-
ed from the hearts and minds of that hand
full of patriots who dedicated their lives to
freeing us from foreign monarchic DONNA
ton, and to establishment of a Republic
which should have as it's guiding principles,
freedom, equality, the right to own property
and the right to happiness.
There is growing danger that in seek
ing to conquer the perplexities of the mo-
ment- Casual embarrassment" in the life
of a nation, to use the great Jefferson's
words-we shall lose or weaken some of those
traditions which our forefathers bought for
we solve temporary troubles at the expense
of permanent blessings, the victory will be
hard won indeed. If we tamper with our ideal
of freedom, the United States will have little
to look forward to in the future.
Every American should resolve, with the
deepest sincerity, to do all he can to cherish,
to protect, and to continue those principles of
freedom freedom of press, of thought, of
religion; freedom to do what we will so long
as others are not injured by our actions
which have made our country the greatest of
all great nations. In all the weller of exper-
iment and criticism that envelopes the en-
tire world, no one has been able to offer a
plan of government that gives the ordinary
man so much as does ours.
Are the Constitution of the United
States and the Declaration of independence
the greatest ibertarian documents ever
written-to become dead letters, or are they
to continue to guide us in the future?

THE YEAR AHEAD

The primary ambition of all men is to as
sure adequate economic protection for them
selves and their dependents in the future.
Of the many who aspire to that, few
achieve it. An overwhelming percentage of
men become penniless dependents in old age,
and must be sustained by relatives or or
wealthy. Many more once held good jobs,
which provided substantial SURPRISES above
the income necessary for livelihood. Many
managed to build up sizeable estates, only to
see them swept away by one financial cata-
clysm or another That was the case even
before the depression, and during the last few
years an infinitely greater than normal num-
Der of people have faced the tragic problem
of approaching old-age without money or saw
ings.
The aim to be followed in any savings
plan is security, rather than profit-small
dividends from investments which offer
maximum protection to principal, are far bet
ter than possible large profits from unsafe
investments. Many excellent savings plans
are offered to persons of all earning capac-
itiesLplans which permit the investment of
dollar a month or thousand dollars. Life
insurance, through it's various types of an
nuity and investment policies, is one of the
best, as its fine record during the last five
trying years has demonstrated. While bus
inesses went under, estates were dwarfted
or disappeared and investments that once
seemed iron-clad were swept away, that in
stitution carried on as usual.
Whatever the plan, every man should
prepare for old age. Dollars that are earned
with comparative ease today will come hard
indeed when the period of greatest product
ivity is over. Think of the years ahead
