: problem is to make them "give,
to "thaw them out" in front of the
camera.
Lets get a quick hinge at some
of the "peculiarities'-
Toby Wing is the Sap" of the
Paramount lot. She seldom ap-
pears in roles, but is always used
by the publicity department when
the other players are busy.
Dolores Del Rio, one of the
really lovely camera subjects, is
difficult to photograph because she
insists upon wearing white-and
that often conflicts with the prop
er backgrounds.
Joe E. Brown hates posing, but
when captured and finally sold on
the idea, he will sit for hundreds
of photos, but all are personally
okayed by him.
Greta Carlo doesn't mind being
photographed in the studio. In
fact, she Is really one Of the easiest
to get for sittings.
Bette Davis always wants her

licity office is concerned.
Paul Mum absolutely refuses &c

AL Jolson goes TO the gallery
when he gets ready and not before
And he is very much afraid OF the
still camera.
George Arliss always grumbles
about posing, claiming that his
face is the same as it was Wher
other stills were taken-and there
nothing you can do about it.
John Barrymore and Otto Kru
ger insist upon being photographed
from one certain side. Few PEG
pie have ever seen portrait OF
Barrymore showing his right pro
file.
Edwad G.. Robinson must be
made happy by the cameraman
who always treasures him that
each photo will be most pleasing tc
the eye.
And sO-yOu see, the studio
photographer does have quite q
time Of it after all!
Pete Smith is very painstaking
golfer. During the recent MGM
tournament, it took the unseen
movie star four hours to get to
the ninth hole, where he expertly
knocked his ball into the rough
Here's your ball." yelled the
caddy after long search.
"This isn't mine," said Pete

WANT MORE
ROAD MONEY
Commissioners of 9Th and 7th
Districts Ask Road and
Bridge Fund Increases.

The county board budget committee
is wrestling in Duluth with increased
requests for funds from almost every
division of the county. Friday the
commissioners of the Sixth and Seventh
districts asked for budget of ST.
100000 for the road and bridge funds
for the coming year.
Commissioner Kosh of the Sixth
district and Commissioner Pasich of the
Seventh are asking for an increase.
They voted against last years levy be-
cause the fund was budgeted with only
$639,198 for use this year, while ST.
156,17O was spent in 1888 for road and
bridge work.
Any increase in the road fund is
bound to increase the tax levy, it was
stated, while commissioners were re-
ported to be considering reductions
totalling 100000 in requests of de-
partmentS coming under the revenue
fund Commissioners are expected to
allow for an estimated 10 per cent
tax delinquency.
The budget committee also studied
Friday the possibility of proposing a
change in state laws to permit assess
ment of court costs in civil actions in
stead of payment of jurors, clerks and
other costs from tax funds, to clear the
calendars of spite" suits which, COM
missioners said, could well be settled
out of court.

Gold Excitement
Forty Years Ago.

On October Is, 1894, the papers pub
lished a news item stating that Ely
was in the throes of gold excitement
At the same time a. stampede was on
for the Rainy Lake and Seine River
gold fields. Thousands of people
f1ocked into these fields via Tower and
Lake Ver1nilion, the Crane Lake por-
tage from Vermilion dam over Crane
Lake and into Rainy Lake.
At the present time. forty years later,
another gold excitement is on in the
Saganaga district and claims have been
staked right and left in that district.
The Ely gold boom of forty years ago
is claimed by many to have been started
by Ed. Mcintosh to get in on the
popular diversion of gold finding at
that time. The best part of the story
is that traces of gold had been found
by Mr. Mcintosh.
The Duluth Herald of Monday con-
tanned the following in the Twenty
Years Ago" column:
Ely Is in the throes of a gold excite
ment. the precious metal having been
found in township s., range IL, section
