Skippy, the wire-haired terrier who
made his screen debut in The Thin
Man, has an unusually good memory.

Corky, new canine actor, has one
of the most important dog roles yet
to be written. In the kidnapping story.

the kidnaper's extra shirt and scam
pers away. A packet of bills from the
kidnap ransom is hurled at the dog.
Corky drops the shirt and seizes
the money. The kidnaper pursues.
Corky's escape with the money affords
an important clue to the kidnapers'
whereabouts.
Rudd Weatherwax. who trained
Corky, explained that movie dog
has to be able to understand quickly
when he's told what to do.
"A trick dog in vaudeville or circus
has to master one routine, but Corky
had only three rehearsals of this scene
before we began shooting. He had to
understand what was required of him
and had to know the proper sequence
of what he was to do, for of course I
couldn't be in the scene to cue him"

the other down. He is three years old,
half wire-haired and half Irish terrier.

 Aside from any financial aid given is the sympathy and understanding of our members in the struggles in cident to everyday life; of the hu- man touch so much appreciated. Volumes could be written upon the subject of this side of fraternal work. This is the real bond that binds our membership into links of friendship, helping us to demon- strate that fact that we are our brothers keeper.

Also a flag rests on a globe which prominently displays a map of the southern half of the American Continent in the bor- der color with the butt of the flag resting on a small white space representing Paraguay. At hand. are four values: 10 cen- tavos, 20 cents, 50 cents, and the one peso. A heater set is hard to imagine although the centering is bad on all copies of the ten and fifty centavos seen.
 News flash! A minor variety was discovered by Judge s. Thomlinson of WoOdbury. The Texas Centennial upper right hs d stamp of one lower sheet of one hundred was found to contain a spot on the collar of the man on the right. This can be easily detected by the unaided eye and should be watched for on cover. An en- graver's slip of the hand or plate spot was probably respon- sible for this interesting dis crepancy. Have you one?
 Dr. Harold c. Campbell, su- perintendent of schools in New York city, has sent a bulletin to all of the schools under his jurisdiction advising that the board of education heartily ap- proves of the stamp show to be held at Grand Central Palace from May 9th to 17th, inclusive, because of its educational value. Teachers are permitted to take their classes to the exhibition, with the approval of the as- sistant superintendents of their district, subject, of course, to the usual procedure in such cases. The parochial schools of the Metropolitan area have also been given like permission.
 Dr. Elias Silberstein, principal of public school No. 43 in the Bronx, has charge of the junior activities of the show. He has arranged that all school chil- dren will attend during the hous of 10 a. m. and noon, and are to be divided into groups of 25, each group in charge of teacher. Different dates have been set aside for the divisions of the city, as follows: Mon- day, May 17th. Manhattan: Tuesday, May 18th. Brooklyn: Wednesday, May 18th, Bronx; Thursday, May 14th, Queens and Richmond; Friday, May 18th, Westchester and New Jer- sey. Saturday, May 18th, is designated as National Junior Day.
 Various other junior organ izations, including the Boy Scouts, are arranging to attend in groups, and there will be many exhibits, particularly adapted to them.
 In the lecture hall there will be a continuous program of lectures and moving pictures. particularly adapted to the chil- dren. The WHATSIT conduct ed by 4heffield Farms, an anna teur publication having a cir- culation of 100000 among the juniors in the Metropolitan area, is cooperating in the arrange ments and the members are all pledged to see that this show Is the best one that has ever been held.
