contained in the Library of Congress
and other United States Government
archives, has been established in
Washington, it was announced here

The motion picture research work
will be in charge of Catherine
Palmer Mitchell, who, during the past
five years, has been on the staff of the
Dictionary Of American Biography
as q research worker in the Library Of
Congress. Mrs. Mitchell expects to
visit Hollywood shortly to confer with
motion picture authorities on her new
activities in connection with historical
accuracy in film productions.
The new film research organization,
know as the Capitol Screen Research
Service, headed by Frances Millington,
makes the statement regarding its
aims and functions:
while the motion picture producers
for a number of years have endeav-
ored to maintain high order Of au-
thenticity In their sets, backgrounds
and historical facts, there has never
been one central agency that they
could turn to for such material. Our
organization is equipped, through its
trained staff of researchers, to supply
information from the Congressional
Library and other Government ar
chives concerning historical person.

her role, that Of the orphan who is

tue and authentic playing. 1t was
John Sikken, however, who stood out.
Called in at the last minute, because
member Of the cast was forced out
by unforeseen circumstances, Johnny
played the title role with q calm as
surance that belied the script in his
hand. If you closed your eyes. 1t
sounded as though he had rehearsed

many listeners. His appearance was
the signal for an outburst Of applause
which continued for several minutes.
After each number, listened to with
concentrated enjoyment, the audience
responded with all the power at its
command, doubling the force of its
applause when DR.. Kinder motioned
the orchestra to rise for its share.
Such feeling of oneness between
the performers and their listeners
pervaded Constitution Hall as has
never been known before. No better
argument could be found for the value
of the orchestra as civic force Of
beauty nor a greater justification of
the belief and the courageous in
sistence that the orchestra should live
and be given time to grow.
A new era dawns for this young
orchestra, recently crowned with new
laurels from other cities, and no one

players and their artistic director, for

Bridegroom Dies
After Assault By
Rejected Suitor

CHICAGO, July 81 tUR)- Walter
Bauer, bridegroom of three weeks,
was bound and gagged today and
subjected to a mutilating operation
that was performed in a parked car
with a pen knife without benefit
of anaesthetic. He died shortly
thereafter in a hospital.
Police suspected a former suitor
Of Bauer's bride. They said the
operation was such as would only
be melted by the bitterest jealousy
or hatred.
Bauer lived long enough after the
tortuous ordeal to tell hospital at
tendants of his suspicion that dis
appointed lover chose this merciless
revenge when he found another had
been successful in Wooing the hand

UNCLE WIGGmY'S SWING

Every year when summer came,
Uncle Wiggily made swings and
hammocks for his rabbit children
to play in. Whether they went to
the seashore or TO the woods near
Green Lake, where they were now,
the rabbit gentleman, as soon as
the cottage was settled, would put
up a swing or a hammock. Some
times he put up both.
The day after Cutie, Bootie and
Scootie had been SO nearly caught
by the sweeping hawk, Nurse Jane
said to Uncle Wiggily:
L think the children could cas-
ier be kept in the woods and away
from the hawk field if they had a
swing to play with"
You are right, as always, Nurse
Jane" said Uncle Wiggily Il shall

that those being discharged have had less

ably, they join the ranks of the unem-

instead of reducing unemployment, is
creating it.
The Resettlement Administration is
probably one Of the important links in

of us ever hear of it. Why it should
need 16,600 employees to carry on its
work is something that the taxpayer
would probably like to know. How it

and set them working in less than four

concerned, and by hamstringing private

employed to where they belong-in pri-
vate industry and not on public payrolls.
On July ! the administration had 80
separate organizations whose duty is to
extend relief and speed recovery. It
would be interesting to know how many

ELECTION COMING Up

By this time all voters in the county
have received sample ballots for the spe-
cial state election to be held on Tuesday,
August l3, in less than two weeks.
The ballot IS accompanied by the usual
pamphlet containing an explanation of
the three propositions on which the peo-
pie are asked to vote.
The first legalizes the state building
bond act Of 1885 which provides for con-
struction Of needed state buildings, in
Guiding a new state prison in the south
ern part of the state.
Proposition No , authorizes the state
to borrow money in anticipation Of taxes
and revenues.
Proposition No. concerns the Rector
dam project and authorizes the state to
contract with the Rector Dam Authority
for water for any state agency supported
wholly or partly by public funds such
contract to be contingent on approval of
a federal loan for the project
There are no offices to be filled at the
election, but each of the three PROPOSE
tions concerns the financial welfare of
the state. Citizens should not disregard
the election because they may deem it
'unimportant.o Public money is import
ant at all times and particularly SO in
thGSe days.
Tie pamphlet setting out the various
propositions. contains additional infor-
nation and reasons why it is believed
they should be approved Citizens should
study this information and be in position
to understand the propositions intelli-
gently
It costs the public money to send out
sample ballots and the pamphlet and they
will do no good if they are ignored We
dare say many of them have already been
heaved into the wastebasket and ulti-
mately the beavers will be the ones to
complain that they didn't know there was
to be an election or what it was all about.
