curly hair and brown eyes; Mamie |
thought she was prettier than ever
when she was mad, because ner
cheeks got so pink.
But, Tommy" Miss Jeanne was
saving, "you owe it to yourself! YOU
never have any of the finer things
Of life any more. You said When you
took this country school that youo

But, Jeanne, they're depending on

lifted his head and looked straight
at Miss Jeanne. And, besides,
don't want to! Maybe they're only
farmers, but they're sincere and friend
" and they appreciate everything l
DO. I can't paint, anyway! I used
10 think the pictures did at arr
school were pretty good. but l know
now they're terrible. What's the use
Of pretending, Jeanne? You know
wasn't born to be painter
sT KNOW you haven't even tried

me as much as you said you olo
you'd make an artist out OF your
self instead OF wasting your time

Jeanne's eyes were bright and her
mouth snapped shut after her crisp
words. "All right, stay home then
and see If I care. You'll never oe
Anything but q country school teach

racing the motor Of the shiny green
car. and in a second she was gone.
Mr.. Tommy stood In the doorway
looking down the dusty road after her
for what seemed long time to
Mamie. After while he spoke.
Mamie, would you like to have
your picture painted?"
yves, SIR" said Mamie, not quite
sure what he meant.
He stared at her for several min

for her, while Mr.. Tommy painted.
She told her pa about the picture on
the way home, but he would only
grunt that that young whipper-
snapper better tend to his school
teachin'."
When Mr.. Tommy asked Mamie
how she liked the picture she would
smile and say it was nice, but deep
down in her heart she knew that it
didn't look anything at all like the
yellow-haired little girl who smiled
back at her from the kitchen mirror
at home. Once she asked him why
Miss Jeanne didn't come out to the
school house any more, but he got
cross and said she shouldn't talk SO
much.

FLORIDA'S STORM

PENSACOLA, Fla, June 90
CUP). - lorida's first summer
storm of 1886, early this month,
did little actual damage but it at
forded an opportunity to test the
newest facilities of the U. 5.
weather bureau in reporting the
progress of storms.
At the first sign that a storm
was making up" in the gulf the
local weather bureau and naval
weather bureau quickly deter
mined what ships were probably
| in a position to observe the storm,
and, cooperating with a network
of shore stations, had almost hour
ly reports on the storms prog
ress.
Inland, aviators were advised to
keep an eye out for storm warn
ings flying from public buildings
Flying was not suspended until a
few hours before the storm struck
the coast. =.
Interest in storm forecasting
was heightened several months ago
when an uncharted wind wrecked
French goodwill plane while ly-
in gat anchor in the harbor. Only
parts of the plane were salvaged.

SONS O'GUNS (Warner Bros.)
Dir: Lloyd Bacon. Cast: Joe E.
Brown, Joan Blondell, Eric Blore,
Beverly Roberts. When war is de-
clared, Mr.. James Canneld, sue
cessful comedian on the New York
stage, willingly lends his talents as
recruiting agent, but he can't see
himself as a doughboy. He isn't
"mad" enough at anybody to fight:
Nevertheless he soon finds himself
tramping through Flanders mud
When orders arrive to wipe out q
machine-gun nest in the enemies
line, alone and unaided he effects
the capture of large group OF
Germans who are not mad al
him either. AS a rollicking satire
on the asininity of war from the
point of view of the actual COM
batants. this film is priceless. AS
a Joe E. Brown comedy it is one
of his very best. 1t is delightful
to see Joan Blondell again as the
little French girl in a role which
permits a display of her req
charm and flair for delicate COM
edy. Enthusiastically recommend
ed for family groups or any other
audience.
