Civil War Caisson
UDsets Film roupe

Careening wildly down a dusty
country lane, a ponderous Civil
War military caisson recently mi
raculously swept by several hun
dred film extras and ended its
mad ride when it crashed into a
studio lunch wagon.
The caisson was one OF eight
transported by the Paramount
studios to Sherwood Forest, where
exterior scenes were being made
for the King Vidor production OF
80 Red the Rose" with Margaret
SULLIVAN, Randolph Scott and
Walter Connolly.
The heavy military vehicle tore
loose from a station atop a high
hill while scenes were being filmed
of soldiers marching in forma-
ton. Hidden in a dust cloud, it
tumbled wildly down the hill
caroming off the sides of trees and
narrowly missing the film workers
en- route.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. From
the kaleidoscope we laughingiy
refer to as Hollywood. George
Brent is very much like his lady
friend Garbo, when it comes to
being the Secretive type. For six
months now, he has been the re-
cipient of threatening letters from
a gangSter who claims he will
shoot him down like he would
any other Oman so it would al
most seem that Mr.. BIS portrayals
of G-men have this gent slightly
confused.
Up till this minute, not soul
was the wiser with the exception
of the district attorneys office,
the G-men'S association who are
now tracking him down, and Mr..
Brent, who has become so fright
ened by these continued threats
that he is moving out of his rather
secluded menace into one where
there will be neighbors and watch
dogs. I wouldn't be blaming him.
On a rumored wire from Max
Baer anent the fact that he would
win the fight over Joe Louis, half
of Hollywood who got in on the
trial of the rumor lost heavily. In
this class next to Eddie ManniX.
the heaviest loser, was Irving
Thalberg. Incidentally, the Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer lot was the hard
est hit so that is where the rumor
must have started.
If John Barrymore can see his
way clear to coming out of his
enforced retirement, he can play
the role of Don Luis in Warner
Brothers production of Anthony
Adverse" This role is secondly

Johnny will give in and then
Elaine will know where to find

Your Health
: BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

A much as l should like to encourage you with
n assurances of more certain treatment for some
ills that have baffed doctors I'm afraid must step
IN every now and then to stfle any false hopes you
may foster whenever of so-called cure is re-
ported.
Take the matter of the eyes for example Re-
Gently an Eastern doctor reported discovery that
the active principle called cOrtin extracted from the
adrenaf gland, was exceedingly valuable in the treat
ment of the eye disease called glaucoma
The facts are that the observer in question had
little real evidence to support his contention and
that no one else has been able to confirm his views
Actually trials made in several places have been
without any significant results.
THE next announcement to be blazoned across the
Il country concerned the use of some new spec
tacleS developed by an Eastern optometriSt Some
years ago he had developed telescope lenses for per-
with cataractS, and he is advocating micro
vision Spectacles.
The telescope lenses were first projected about
1864 and they have been given extensive trial repeat
edly since that time.
One clinic reports the prescription of these lenses
In 1000 cases with satisfaction temporarily in less
than per cent and even one-half of this per cent
voluntarily discontinued the use of the lenses within
a few months.
THE latest announcement concerned the use of a
cataractS. A doctor printed in a magazine not ex-
cuSively devoted to medicine the fact that patients
with cataract had been benefited by this vitamin.

CERTAINLY we have eloquent testimony from the
~ Philippines that the Fflipnos have tried our
civilization and have found the price too high
Some years ago used to boast that Mai Gen
Leonard Wood had cleaned up Cuba" There is no
denying the fact that he introduced modern plumb
ing and sanitation and lessened the incidence of
disease And yet neither Leonard Wood nor any
other American altruist cleaned up Cuba in the
sense Of establishing economic order in which
there were justice and security for every worker
OF course, that's a pretty big order. but until the
Western nations capable of accepting such a
commission they are talking mere hypocritical rot
when they speak of coonizing for the sake of the
native population

the fact that the threatened war III Europe is not
