 Bartholomew, Coliseum

Scenes between these two are presented with stirring dramatic qualities.

See SimOne for Emotions s,.
 See Turns Them On dt WilI
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. Is. - Hollywood thinks one studio has found the answer to the cry for new feminine starring material in Simone Simon.
 As intriguing a personality as the films have known since the "glam- or days" of silent pictures. Sim one made her Hollywood debut the other night in preview of Girls Dormitory," a story of European school life in which the nominal stars are Herbert Marshall and Ruth Chatterton. It was no dis credit to their work that the talk afterward was all of Simone Si- mon pronounced See-monay See moan)
 Simone is French, g, and pro- duct of French films. Winfield Sheehan signed her for Fox before he departed that studio with it's Twentieth Century merger.
 Sheehan's successors, Joseph E. Sehenck and Daryl zanuck, were able to capitalize on the one girl, in the long procession of Fox's ibported stars who seems likely to make the grade with American audiences.
 Famed For "Temperatment"
 Simone knew little English when she arrived a year ago, and before long stories of her temperament" were rife She was cast in "Un- der Two Flags" but after a week she pleaded illness and was re- placed by Claudette Colbert Some said that was temperament" too. but Simons actually spent a month in the hospital. Then little more was heard of her-except for "tem- perament" nt"-until the preview.
 In person Simone is an interest ing as on the screen, strange ap- pealing combination of gamin and grown-up that defies cut-and- dried cataloging. Her principal charm lies not in custom made beauty, which she lacks, but in expression, quick changing from twinkling gaiety to moodiness and then to innocent coquettishness. She has a fetching little accent, for good measure. With all her many-facet- ed display she seems, contradictor- fly, as unaffected as a child, sunny haired and freckle-faced.

White GruDs Said to Be Infesting
 Midwest States

AMES, Ia, Aug 18.--Floyd Andre, Iowa State College entomologist, warned of a destructive infestation of white grubs in Iowa this year as well as in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois:
 These grubs.' he declared, will cause damage in practically every Iowa county before the summer is over Already 40 acres of corn in Lucas County have been reported hard hit, But so far corn and bar ley apparently are the only farm crops damaged by the grubs in this state"
 Andre now is experimenting with different poisons in an effort to dis cover an effective way of killing the underground pests. Certain poi sons such as lead arsenate, he said, are known to, be destructive to the grubs, but they also frequently, dam age the plants for which protection is sought"

SEATTLE. Aug. 18.-The story of Alaska's scenic beauties, wild life. and interesting industries is being retold to hundreds of girls and guardians in all sections of the United States, according to letters received by the Seattle head quarters of the Camp Fire Girls from the 58 girls who recently completed a tour of the Territory under the auspices of the Lakota group from the Seattle Camp Fire Girls organization. so.s
 Telling of Alaska o Y,ss
 Girls from as widely scattered sections as New York. Texas, Penn sylvania, and Washington made the trip, and are now giving talks us- ing souvenirs and scrapbooks show ing clippings and pictures gathered in Alaska to groups of their friends. One girl reports having already talked to two groups totaling 120 persons. Much ,prized honors are awarded for talks to groups of more than ten people
 Alaska's leading industries coop erated in assisting the visitors on this tour to gain a complete under standing of the Territory Samples of furs, and mining ores were sup piled, and the entire process of salmon fishing and canning was observed by the girls. A booklet illustrating the varieties of salmon, the methods of fishing and can ming, and their food values and recipes suggesting variety of dish es, was supplied each girl by the Canned Salmon Industry.
 Told of Northland 4 {.
 Each day aboard ship, the girls had a lesson regarding one phase of Alaska The fisheries, mining, agriculture, numbering, transporta- ton and history of the Territory were studied by the travellers,
 One of the experiences of Alaska which interested the girls most was the skinning of bear by Indians at Klawak Other happy impress sions they are telling their stay at-home friends of are the gold ore samples they gathered, and their visits to the salmon canneries. They were greatly impressed by the cleanliness of the canneries and the white gloves worn by the workers in the canneries they vis- ited. One girl remarked to a lead- CT after a canpery visit. Nov can really enjoy eating canned salmon, since I've seen it cannedp T
 Tourists of this type, who study the attractions and industries of the Territory while they enjoy it's scenery and return to their homes to broadcast enthusiastically their impressions of the things they have seen have a very great value in the good they do for Alaska, both in spreading understanding of the Territory and in broadening the market for Alaska's products.

POLITICAL FEUD
 DIVIDING STATE
 OF MISSISSIPPI
Pat Harrison, Theodore C. Bilbo in Bitter Pri-
 mary Struggle
By SAM HARRINGTON

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 1S.-The -four horsemens of Mississippi pol itics are engaged in a bitter strug- gle over United States Senate seat. t-e f& 'n~
 The fight proper, to be settled at the August 25 primary, is between Senator Pat Harrison, seeking fourth term. ana former Gov. Sem nett Conner, making his initial bid for Senatorial post. However, much more than the Senatorship swings in the balance.
 The other 'horsemen," Senator Theodore G. Bilbo and Gov. Hugh L. White. have staked their prestige and possibly their political futures on the outcome of the Harrison-C Con- her conflict.
 The impending battle is meat and drink for Mississippi voters. Long schooled in the art of bitter political warfare, they have settled back to witness campaign loaded with ex- plosive issues and personages.
 Bilbo's Stake ...
 Championing the Senatorial as- pirations of Conner is self styled "the Man Bnbo." His guns are trained on his colleague, whose de- feat would elevate Bilbo to the sen for Senatorship and, in Bilbo's eyes, squaare his defeat in the recent bat tie on the appointment of Harri- sons closest friend, Edwin Holmes, to the T. s. Circuit Court of Ap- peals.
 Governor White is supporting Har- rison. To do so it was necessary for him to break politically with Bilbo, who went down the line" for him last year in his "nip-and- tuck" battle for the Governorship.
 The political camps present a confusing scene for the voters. In the Harrison ranks are many Bilbo lieutenants and in the rank and file of the Conner forces are found White packers and some not so long ago aligned with the senior Senator.
 Harrison and Bilbo shared politi- cal friendship until the Holmes in- lcident. White and Bilbo were on good terms until the latter joined Conner. Harrison and White have always been friendly. White and Conner never got along and Harri- son and Conner have been at outs for more than four years.
 < They first crossed swords at the Democratic convention in Chicago in 1882, when Conner led a futile movement to swing the Mississippi delegation away from Roosevelt to Newton D. Baker. Harrison suc- ceeded in keeping the Mississipians in the Roosevelt column
 Has Roosevelt Tie
 Later they differed over Federal expenditures in Mississippi and the complete break came when Conner made it known he would seek Har- rison's seat. 14
 Harrison supporters point cheer fully to the close tie between Pres ldent Roosevelt and their candidate. Conner pursued lukewarm policy toward the Roosevelt administration during his term as Governor and expects no help from that quarter However. he has well-organized camp, is sharp campaigner and has at his disposal Bilbos keen po- litical strategy.

THE FARMERS ADVENTURE
Lowell, Mich, Ledger)

Every Spring the farmers risk bold and daring
adventure. They put their seed into the ground, they
devote unceasng labor and much money to cutvatng it.
Will they get any return?
In less enterprsing countries such people will plant
only what they utilize themselves. The American
farmer is business who wants to take greater
chances So he sweas and pours out his money into the
soil and hopes for just reward.
This act of faith has produced such abundant gains
that the country is worried today not because not enough
produced to feed people, but because too much is
grown The farmers bed is not of If he grows
too little his product is too small to support his family,
while he grows too much, the product is almost given
away.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb 6. UP)-Hol-
lywood's claim to world fashion lead
erShip is just another example of its
sheer, bumptiouS ignorance.
Foregoing is the verdict of Califor-
mia native son Walter Plunkett, for
10 years wardrobe expert for RKO-
Radio Studios, and now New York
costume designer.
Hollywood doesn't create styles.
1t apes Paris lick every other sec
ondary fashion center, but unlike
New York, London and Berlin it is
always at least a year behind the
times" snorted the trim, stocky
Plunkett, brandishing a teacup
fiercely over a studio luncheon
table.
RKO Radio brought Plunkett
back to Hollywood to design cos
tunes for Katherine Hepburn S
Mary of Scotland" When that is
finished he will go back to New
York. six weeks each year in
Hollywood is enough for anybody.'D
Last i'm the World
Movie styles are the last in the
world woman of fashion would
choose. They interest only unso-
phisticated little girls, who bleach
their hair platinum blond and say
'Hurrah, I look like Jean Harlow
IF really fashionable woman
suspected she resembled a movie
actress she'd shoot herself, or go in
to permanent hiding.
Movie designers can't possibly
keep up to date. Here's how styles
reach them:
New York stylists wait for the
latest Paris Silhouettes, which reach
them two to four weeks after re-
lease in Paris. They order certain
numbers, which it takes at least four
weeks to complete.
Then they are shown to buyers
from other American cities, and it
takes four to six weeks longer Tor
their orders to be filled. Finally the
models reach the coast.
Here movie designers pick them
up fer use in pictures. Another two
or three weeks pass before they are
ready for the camera. One to three
