sented an autograph album to Donald
McMurry, as he is leaving for Yakima.
The Student Body is just now be-
ginning to recover from the effects OF
Christmas vacation. The first few days
saw many sleepy-eyed individuals
prowling through the halls and sitting
languidly in classrooms. 1t was tor
ture to be plunged unceremoniously
into final semester tests.
The languor was especially appar-
ent in the basketball teams, who pulled
and sweated at practices after only a
slight exertion.
Things are Strengthened out now
however, and will probably remain SO
until another vacation comes along to
upset matters.

Young Stars Are Advised That
Studios Prefer Bachelors

while he was playing the leads in
long series of western romances
for Paramount, but no sooner was
he elevated to feature Importance
than the front office began to
check up on his marital inten.
tions.
Having been cast opposite Mar

Rose" it became a matter of
prime Importance to win q large
feminine fan following for him.
Accordingly, he has pledged him.

HOLLYWOOD. Sept. There
is more romance and box-office
glamour attached to a foot-loose
and fancy free actor than to one
who has said II will" and stuck to
it, say Hollywood's movie execu-
tives. That is why the new crop
of actors is receiving subtle hints
to guard against Cupid.
Even though statistics prove
that the box office did not suffer
when Gary Cooper took the mari
tai VOWS during the past year,
studios still hate to take the
chance of building glamour
around an eligible bachelor and
then have him disappoint two
million female fans.
Gary'S career went right on as
usual, with his most romantic
role to date just completed in
Paramount's peter IbbetSon."
But the moguls say that he is the
exception that proves the rule.
The latest star to be launched
in a blaze of glory is Henry Will
coxon, who is due for daily stacks
of fan mail as soon as Cecil B.
DeMille's THE Crusades" is re-
leased, in which Wilcoxon plays
the leading role of King Richard
the Lion Heart.
Wilcoxon holds some sort OF
rating as never having even been
engaged. But despite this record
of no hits, no runs and no errors,
he is causing tremors in the front
office by his recent announcement
that he is entirely open to con-
viction on the subject of mar
riage, and that he will dive off
the deep and as soon as the right
girl comes along.
So far, the right girl hasn't even
been sighted, but it has already
been suggested to Wilcoxon that
marriage will not be any too bene-
ficial for him at this point in his
career.
Fan mail is a good method OF
judging the effects of marriage on
star. Shortly after Cary Grant
married, there was a decided drop
in the number of scented and rose
tinted billetdoux which came his
way. Since the marital status was
dropped, the deluge started again.
Cary's best friend, Randolph
Scott, has always been a con-
firmed bachelor. Not much at
tention was paid to his status

Species of Termites

Some of the species of termites of
southern and tropical Africa build
nests of clay twenty or more feet in
height These are called termitaria.
Among these higher species, the ter
mitaria are often gigantic structures
of great durability. They are formed
of earth particles cemented together
with either saliva or focal material
andupon drying the impregnated earth
becomes Of a cement-like hardness.
Besides those of the African species,
mentioned, the most remarkable of all
termitaria are the lofty steeple- like
structures of northern Australia.
These also reach a height of 20 feet
with basal diameter of - feet, and
the interiors of such nest present a
maze of irregular chambers and pas
sages. In its deeper recesses the brood
is reared and the royal cell containing
the queen termite is located.

Great Things Expected
in the Coming Century

A group of savants in science and
captains of industry met in Chicago
and exchanged views on the proba-
bilities of the future.
A motor magnate, Charles +. Ket-
tering, saw airplanes radioed by en-
ergy from power plants on the
ground to fly them anywhere. The
fog menace would be eliminated by
lights through the stratosphere at
tmazing speeds.
Arthur III. Compton, Nobel prize
winner, as well as physicist Of note,
predicted that physics and chemis-
try would realize the ageold dream
of creating living cells.
DR.. Walter B. Pitkin of Columbia
university prophesied that: 1.-THE
worlds twenty largest corporations
win get together, offer on life-term
installments complete equipment for
living, food, clothing, home, an
auto, an airplane, televislon and a
world travel ticket; later, they win
throw in life and liability insurance
and medical service complete"
The last century has seen the
worlds greatest progress in scientific
: civilization of any hundred years
since the beginning. But If these
men are right the next hundred years
will far Ioutstrip it.-Los Angeles
