to start about l p. m. Mr.. Roosevelt,
the governors, senators, all Iowa
congressman and a score of local
dignitaries will be luncheon guests

capitol lawn had been replanted.
Downtown streets will be decorated
gaily with flags and buntings.

All A Gamble
1t was a gamble, and luck was on
my side. The first of the more
sincere roles was with Clark Gable
and Myrna 10y in wife VS.. Secre-
tary" This was followed by an
even more sincere and natural char
acterization in "Suzy." Both have
brought me an encouraging re-
sponse, and have allayed many of
my early fears about the hair
changes. 1t must be obvious that
an actress, as anyone else, changes
in character as the years pass, We
seek more quiet ways of entertain
ment, as we seek different books
whose covers hold a different kind
of knowledge.
We seek more mature friends and
an exchange of mutual understand
ing is on a more subdued key.
In such changes 1 am no excep-
ton.
Possibly the reason I was singled
out as one who is undergoing a
change in my career is that insofar
as my work is concerned, it is con-
stantly before the public.
1t is inevitable that my private
life would go through corrolary
changes, which SINNERS down to
one statement:
It isn't the color of my hair any
more than the way I wear it that
has created the 'metamorphosis." 1t
is merely myself. AS we grow old

Raleigh, Sept 25-The number of
drivers whose licenses have been re-
voked for a second year because of
being convicted for driving while
their driving permits were revoked,
was brought to 46 today with the re-
vocation for an additional year of the
license of Thomas e. Wright. of
Thomasville, according to Ronald Ho-
cult, assistant director of the high
way safety division of the Depart
ment of Revenue.
"The fact that 46 drivers have al
ready been arrested, tried and con-
victed of driving while their licenses
were revoked and then had them re-
voked for an additional year, shows
that the police departments and the
highway patrol are giving fine coop
Grafton in enforcing the law" Ho-
cult said. "It also shows that we are
having little difficulty in keeping
track of these drivers and that if they
attempt to drive while their licenses
are suspended, they are sure to be
arrested For every highway patrol
man and every police department is
furnished a list of those whose Ii
censes are revoked every day, with a
request to keep constant and close
watch on them to see they do dot at
tempt to drive while their licenses
are suspended. The result is that we
are getting more and more of those
who try to disregard the law"

to each night after he had left the
Office marked PRESIDENT in the
Sayre-Coulton Advertising Agency.
She thought Of him then with
that feeling of wings beating
against her breast that had been
there since early autumn.
She thought: 1.-THE next time
the bell rings, it might be he. He
is part of Kathleen's world. He
might come through that door.
He would have to bend his dark
head to come through the door to
the terrace. He would smile at
them-at me-with different kind
of smile. 1t would be warm as it
is when he meets me in the elevator
but it would be more personal"
Now, she was depressed, remem-
bering that he didn't even know
her name. She was "Mr. Kennel
ly's secretary. She was one Of
his 20 employees, just another girl
in a neat frock who said good
morning" to him.
Sayre didn't know anything at
all about her. But she knew the
addresses of his two homes-the
penthouse in Sutton place and the
house on Long Island. She knew
he was 35 and unmarried, that he
played polo and golf. That New.
port, Palm Beach, Wyoming, Pine
hurst and other gathering places
of the social world were his back
grounds.
She knew that it was world
apart from hers.
She might grow old, her tawny
hair grazing in his service and
forever hearing his firm step in the
corridor without his ever knowing
that once she was satisfied just to
look at him.
Thinking of that, her satisfac-
ton vanished and her helplessness
flooded her with discomfort.
She stirred restlessly and saw
that Kathleen was smiling at her.
Her mood changed and she felt
lifted up, exalted and a strange
hope buoyed her up. Kathleen
liked her, would keep her in her
life. She would come here again.
She would not be alone again.
Vague anticipations colored her
mood.
The gulf was not so wide. Again
her eyes drifted eastward to where
the river was. To where John
Sayre might be at this moment.
Was it so strange that he might
one day know Alix Carey?
Someday he would!
That, Alix Carey promised her.

naturally Folk who had found their
opportunities and taken advantage
of them were conservative because
they wanted to keep what they had.
Those who hadn't been so fortunate
continued to hope that they would be
luckier shortly and did not want the
system altered until this hope had
been realized.
But the opportunities are not lying
so plentiful around loose now; most
of them already have been gobbled
up and have gravitated into few
hands.
The few who have a practical mo-
nopoly of them are as conservative
as ever; perhaps, more so. But a
vastly larger proportion of the citi-
zenry realizes that it is definitely on
the outside looking in, and not look
ing in hopefully, either, as formerly
was the case. Such individuals tend
to develop the divide our wealth"
complex which isn't conservative a
bit.
The chances are, then, that we are
not quite as conservative as we were,
but just how much less so we are is
another thing that can only be guess
ed at
Conservatism is somewhat a matter
of habit, too.
In short, the voters are sorting
themselves out into two new major
parties, but so slowly that it is i'm
possible to tell yet which side out
votes which, as a general PROPOSE
tion-not infallibly, but usually.
