Mems Clothes Are Not for Her,
Says Fashion Plate Myrna 10y

"Yet I do not favor mascu-
line styles for women. "A woman
should always appear feminine,
and mainniSh fashions rObS
her of her femininity.
"TO me, the real reason why
mems clothes should be for
men only is that despite their
comfort and senSibility, they
contain too many pockets.
Imagine q woman with q
dozen pockets in her clothes!
Each pocket would be weighted
down so heavily with powder
puffs, rouge and q thousand
other things that she'd be an
chOred to the earth and unable
to move.
II hope I've worn my first
masculine suit for the last
time"

After trying it once, Myrna
10y still believes that mems
clothes should be for men only.
Miss 10y, who is becoming rec
ognized as one of the best dressed
women, both on and off the
screen, had never before worn
100 per cent mems attire.
Stacks, yes. but never COM
plete male garb.
Recently, she was called upon
to disguise herself as a man for
a scene in the Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer Cosmopolitan picture, "The
Thin Man" It was the first
time in her life she had arrayed
herself in strictly mems attire.
I'm Clothes" said Miss 10y,
after she shed the raiment Of
the opposite sex, "men have q
better deal than women.
WOmen's fashions seem to
change with the weather,
which is quite a strain on the

man can wear the same suit
all year round so long as he
keers the suit cleaned and

Thirty-five million persons so
far have paid to see the picture.
Three to- One Better
At the same time figures showed
that I'm No Angel" has topped
the first Westian Paramount pic
ture, "She Done Him Wrong" by
three to one in financial crosses
and in actual audience attend
ance, despite the fact that "She
Done Him Wrong" established
new theater records throughout
the United States and foreign
countries.
Twelve million theater-goers
saw the first picture, statistics
brought to light.
The demand for I'm No Angel
is so great, Paramount records
showed, that initial bookings not
only included extended playing
time, but rolled up such crosses
that it was frequently continued
for added weeks without a break
at first-run theaters other than
the ones which played it in va
riouS cities.

DRUNKEN DRIVING DECREAS SING

Comparative figures, compiled by the
California Highway Patrol, and not as
yet released for publication, indicate a
decrease in drunken driving throughout
the state, according to E. Raymond Cato.
chief of the patrol.
Credit for the decrease is given by
Cato to increased vigilance on the part
of his officers and a mounting tide of
public sentiment against the drunken
driver.
Both agencies responsible for the re-
ported decrease are the most effective
means Of reducing this menace to life
and limb, and the second is more effect
i've than the first.
1t is not possible to have the high
ways patrolled so that an officer can al
ways be on hand to catch the drunken
driver. The main part of the campaign
to protect lives must be waged by pub
lie sentiment, one of the most forceful
assets in any campaign.
Public sentiment is most effective
when it represents a majority. In the
case of the drunken driver it should have
such majority. Every automobile
driver should take upon himself the re-
sponsibility of driving his car only when
he is sober. If he has any doubts as to
his sobriety, he should give the public
and not himself the benefit of the doubt.
The comparative figures promised by
Chief Cato will be interesting Califor-
MAS record for automobile tragedies is
not an enviable one and it is essential
that it be reduced to the lowest possible
minimum. Publication of the statistics
concerned in the reported reduction
should be an encouragement to continue
the campaign.
There is no excuse for the drunken.
driver. Rather there should be none. Un-
fortunately excuses are made for him.
They would not be made however if each
individual would tell himself, Il might
be the next victim" If we can drive
that lesson home to ourselves, excuses
and sympathy for the drunken driver
would soon vanish, for self-protection is
a fundamental law that cannot be
lodged

Dillinger. Reports from Lapland and

FARM BUREAU
SEEKING DATA
UPON GROWERS

Efforts to develop a standard
agreement for marketing vegetables
and fruits, that will be fair botn
to the grover and shipper, are be-
ing made by the farm bureau
through its state and county vege-
table department. This project was
undertaken, said G. o. Hoober, be-
cause Of many complaints by grow
ers that have reached state farm
bureau Headquarters. AS complete
canvas as possible of growers Is
being made through county bureaus.
Their views will be obtained and
studied. From the information thus
received a suggested standard
agreement will be drawn based on
experience of the growers.
A letter is being sent county di-
rectors Hoober said, with request
that it be given to vegetable and
fruit growers. The same communi-
cation is being sent many growers.
However, there is not complete list
of growers in the county available.
Therefore any interested grower is
requested TO submit his views on
marketing agreements to the county
farm bureau so they may receive
consideration.

CABLE
STAR Of FILM
PLAYING HERE

''Men in White,' the new Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer production CO.
starring Clark Gable and Myrna
10y, which opens a two days run
at the United Artists tomorrow, is
an absorbing drama based on the
stage play by Sidney Kingsley, still
running in New York at the Broad
hurst theatre.
1t was late last September that
two organizations known as the
Group theatre and Sidney Harmon
and James R. Ullman produced
this drama of passions in and
around a great metropolitan hos
pital. The reception accorded the
production was immediate and ov-
erwhelming. Burns Mantle, of the
Daily News, bestowed the four-star
rating on the play, a distinction
which has been granted to only
one other play this season. Rob-
ert Garland, of the World-Tele-
gram, put the drama at the top
of his list of the 10 best plays of
1888. And people on all sides be-
gan to talk of it as the natural
candidate for the Pulitzer prize.
1t Was Different
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, desirous
of putting into screen form a
drama so original and SO charged
with elemental emotions as this
story of a young inferno and his
swaying between love and duty,
promptly purchased The play and
engaged Gable and Miss 10y for
the leading roles. Their plans were
to present their own production as
soon as possible.
But the very thing that everyone
had anticipated prevented them
from doing so: "Men in White
as a stage play continued to be so
successful in New York and to
draw such large and enthusiastic
houses that it would be unjust to
either the play or the film to offer
the picture simultaneously to the
public.
1t is estimated that the stage
production, now in its seventh tri-
umphant month, will continue well
into the late spring Accordingly,
"Men in White' as a film will be
seen during April and May only by
those living in other cities. New
York will have to wait until early
June before it can witness the Me-

ton of the stage hit at the Broad

Besides these important engage

ty for something she hadn't done.
"And it sounds to me-" said
Uncle Wiggily to himself, Gas if
two of my little boy rabbits were
up to some mischief I must see
who they are and perhaps I can
spoil their trick and save Baby
Bunty from being scolded by Miss
Mouse.'
Uncle Wiggily was like the Old
Lady Who Lived in a Shoe. He
had so many children he didn It
know them by their voices. He
had to see them to tell which one
was speaking. You know the Old
Lady Who Lived in Shoe had so
many children she didn't know
what to do. Uncle Wiggily knew
what TO do all right.
The first thing the rabbit gen.
tleman did was to look out of the
back window of the garage. There
he saw, in the evening twilight,
his two little rabbit boys. Buster
and Duster, standing near box
On the box was a tin can and a
frog and a box, with some paper
and string.
Now here is the idea for the
trick Buster was saying. "You
know tomorrow morning Baby Bun
ty is going TO school and she is
going to take the Lady Mouse
Teacher a surprise. +"
Yes,'' said Duster. "Bunty
told me about it and I told you
Bunty is going to put soma May
! flowers in a box. wrap the box in
paper and put it on teachers desk

see the flowers, Bunty thinks, and
she will be glad somebody brought

THE SUMNER SCHOOL

Announcement that free summer
health school will be conducted here for
six weeks under the elementary school
districts direction, should be interesting
to parents of children who will not
be able to leave the valley during the
summer vacation period.
The school is intended for the benefit
of children who are under par physical
ly and the program will include correct
i've posture work, instructions tor I'M
proving each child's health, continuation
of the nutrition program and emphasis
on the treatment and correction OF de
fects which have been causing the child
i'll health or discomfort.
Unfortunately the capacity of the
school will be limited in the number OF
children who can attend and the school
authorities plan to select only those
children who will be able to attend prac-
tically all sessions of the school. Per-
haps the success the work is certain 70
meet this summer will make it possible
to increase its scope in the years to fol-
low.
Parents should be unpreju judiced in
considering attendance of their child
rem at the school. Too often they take
the attitude that corrective work OF this
nature is unnecessary or Is reflection
upon the parents, when such Is not the
case. Children suffering minor defects
should have every opportunity to nave
them corrected so that the defects may
not develop into major handicaps when
they reach maturity.
The school board and its teaching per-
sonnel should be commended for TAX
ing this step. 1t is a constructive effort
and should be given the fullest support
Sessions will be limited to two hours
a day. This will give the children an op-
portunity to use some of the long sum
mer vacation to good advantage. Too
much free time without proper supervls-
ion is not the best way of spending the
summer vacation.
