ROGERS AT END
OF TRAIL

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. % G.N.So.
In a little gray stone church in
the brown, hot hills back of Glen
dale, Cal, about seven miles from
Hollywood, is a room about the
size of an ordinary living room.
Along one of the longer sides
of the room is a double tier OF
imitation gray stone doors, each
about two feet square, like an
diversified bank vault for big safety
deposit boxes. The boxes are
marked alphabetically, A, B, C. D.
etc. Bolted on each door are two
copper urns for flowers.
The urns on the door marked
tx" today contained Sprigs of
simple blue and white flowers.
Behind the door marked TX"
was all that remains on this earth
of Will Rogers, who died in the
Far North a week ago with Wiley
Post when that intrepid air ex-
plorers plane crashed to the
frozen tundra.
It was the end of a trail for the
man who had made millions weep,
laugh and think-who was be-
loved by nation for his SYM
pathetic screen interpretations
and keen, but kindly barbs from
his pen.
The private services for Rogers
were held yesterday afternoon in
the Wee Kirk O. the Heather in
Forest Lawn Memorial Park, a
lovely sweep of green grass, stately
trees and flowers stretching into
the parched Glendale highlands.
The rites lasted but 80 minutes
and the body then was placed in
the temporary receiving vault in
the church to await eventual re-
moval to Rogers old home in
Oklahoma.
The public paid tribute to the
cowboy philosopher in the morn
ing from 7 o'clock to noon. The
body. in a plain bronze casket, lay
under a big tree in the cemetery.
The public, in double lines, filed
past the casket. which was un-
opened, until 4S,76o had been
registered.
Then the body was moved in
sidt the little church. delicate.

in front of the altar an, was
covered with a blanket OF flowers
put together to resemble an Amer
lean flag.
Only 125 persons, the church's
capacity, attended the private
services, which we're augmented
by a crowd of 10000 in Hollywood
Bowl, more thousands in a church
in Beverly Hills, and all the mo-
ton picture figures on all the
lots. These auxiliary rites were
held simultaneously with those in
the Wee Kirk O. the Heather.

And there came Mrs. Betty

Her steps were slow. She was sup

down although their eyes were
wet with tears. But so were all
other eyes in the church.

in a voice which was steady for
the most part. read the funeral

place which Rogers had won in
the hearts of his countrymen:

"But-but that's so foolish, Babs.
There's been nothing between us,

Babs faced 10 sharply, then re-
turned her attention to the road.
Dent you be an idiot, too. I re-
member how you used to look at
him. You two hit it off right from
The first. I don't know what eX-
cuse you gave to yourself, but I
think the real reason you went
away with Fragonet was because you
believed I was going to marry
Douglas Marsh"
That's, that's not true" 10
blazed. I had to leave. He fired me,
so why should I stay around Crest
Lake?"
NO reason why you should stay
around Crest Lake, perhaps. But
you didn't have to turn to Frago-
net. That was the give-away, 10.
When I figured that out, and
watched how Doug changed, I had

And Doug didn't really fire you,

that. And Mrs. Marsh. They had a
little quarrel after you left, and
Doug sent her on a trip around the

Finally she faltered, It's mighty
decent of you TOTO tell me all this,
Babs. Even if you're wrong about
Douglas Marsh'S feeling toward me"
I'm not wrong about him." Babs
retorted. And there's nothing par

you this. I'm no martyred heroine.
I'm just a spoiled brat, and I sup

Have you told Douglas Marsh?"
Babs nodded Il told him this

Doug's good sport and he'd have

Artists Like Villages

swarm with palettes and paints into
the newly discovered country. The

of the more scatter Drained artistic

.cality wins out. At least as far as
fame is concerned. For there is
sure to be some one in the crowd
talented enough to paint pictures of
the village that eventually land in
permanent collections.

colors.
From villages and hamlets,
farms and big cities in every cor

running to the call Of their GO
eminent in the greatest peace
time war-machine move in ltaly's
history, designed to put 100000
men in the army.
Divisional headquarters through
out the peninsula were filled
with new recruits, eager for
duty. The nation, rapidly be-
coming military conscious, re-
sponded swiftly to the call.
The picturesque Alpine regi-

full, wartime footing. As a re-
