HENDERSON, CO. DISPATCH THURSDAY SEPTEMBER TO- 1886

and stood in the sort of Saturday aft
ernoott crowd nicely calculated to re-
flute most of Comrade Odets' usual
arguments in order to get a glimpse
Of this super film When 1 finally saw
was good action romanza, with a
sinister william, a strong and beautiful
hero and a comic for the sake of re-
lief, the whole mounted against the
backdrop of inscrutable China and
topped off by the usual happy and
slightly incredible ending.
The chief handicap the picture suf-
fered was the so-called dialogue by
Comrade Odets. l use the word so
called not as cheap disparagement
but advisedly. Dialogue, 1 believe, IS a
verbal exchange between two or more
people, Mr.. Odets has written a series
of individual harangues and put them
in the mouths Of his characters. On

story to proceed without such heavy
freight of what 1 presume is either

the terms have come to be synony-
nous of late years-that an otherwise
stirring Chinese cloak and sword ro-

Now no one, I think, will object to
the hero, in the person of Mr.. Gary
Cooper, being sympathetic with the
dOwntrodden masses of a Chinese
province. That is admirable. 1t is fur
Their comprehensive that a young
man should intrdude himself into the
sorrows of a race whose language he
doesn't speak and with whose customs
he is only sketchily familiar out of
sheer Goodness and who don't happen
to have a match handy when he de-
mands one, you begin to contract a
sneaking hope that the next victim

The injection of the Pinko slant on
life into a movie full Of bandits,
stolen money bags and beautiful hero

the torture chamber by a slant-eyed

1t reminds you a little of "Deadeye

ANSWERS

1. Luke Lea born in Surry county
in 1882, and great grandfather of the
late U. S. Senator, Luke Lea. Early
in life Luke Lea removed with his
father to Tennessee. He was for a
numbr of years clerk of the house of
representatives, and later followed
General Jackson in the Creek and
Seminole Wars. From 1888 to 1887 was
congressman from Tennessee, then
served his state in other capacities.
In 1849 President Taylor appointed
him Indian agent of the Fort Leven-
worth Agency where two years later
he was killed.
2. In all a total of over $4,000, 900.
Governor Vances extreme efforts to
provide for the poor and needy, and
to take care of the soldiers in the
field, in a way, explains the devotion
and alteration the people had for him.
$. The 1850 census reports show
that nearly one-third of Indiana's
population had moved there from
North Carolina
4. The August 1888 minutes of the
court of pleas and quarter sessions
made the following order: Ordered
tend this court with a Wand of tough
wood eight feet in lenth and one inch
in diameter, and that eachg constable
attend the courts with staffs neatly
shaved 6 IL feet in lenth and 1 IA
inches in diameter painted black on
the head for inches!"
5. Shortly after the close of the war
in 1865. 1t was also required of per-
sons entering into business or a pro-
fesSion.
6. 1t placed a heavy tax on whisky.
Since North Carolina had no nearby
markets money was scarce and
prices high; farmers distilled their
surplus grain into whisky and ped
died it out on their way to market.
The excise tax cut directly into their
money source, which fact they wish
ed 20 avoid.

Something different in the way of
political broadcasts was inaugurated
by the State Republican Volunteer
Committee last Tuesday night when
County Campfires" came over the
air from a statewide hookup of
WCCO and KSTP in the Twin Cities,
WEBC at Duluth and WMFG at
Hibbing.
Called "the first intelligent ap-
proach to political broadcasts," the
COP. program is essentially one of
entertainment with a script that calls
for a group of people sitting around
campfire, talking, singing and tell
ing stories. Interspersed in the pro-
gram is short political comment, but
politics is kept at minimum.
The Republican program will be a
twice-a-week feature during the cam
paign, with a broadcast every Tues
day from 900 to 9:15 p. m. and each
Thursday from 12:45 to loo p. m.

DOCTORS AMAZED
SERGEANT BECOMES MOTHER

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. doctors
in a Warsaw maternity home almost
out of their wits, an army sergeant
walked in. clad in mems clothes,
calmly told them che" was going to
have a baby-and proceeded to do
so!
That, at any rate, is the story sup
piled to the London Daily Mirror to-
day by it's Warsaw correspondent,
who explains that the mother,
Nochmen Tenebaum, 25, changed sex
last year.
Although there are many authentic
cases of exchanges on record, it is
believed to be the first time in history
of medical science that the metamor-
phosis was so complete and repro
duction was possible, commented the
correspondent.
Certainly it is the first case on
army records in which a sergeant be-
came a mother!
The birth was normal, and the
nine-pound baby was described as
perfect.
The father is an artist. Tenen-
baum's sex change compelled him to
abandon a promising army career
but he kept on wearing male clothes
afterwards.
