things that Christians would and
would not do says:
There would be no private
wealth; Jesus denounced great pos

In this civilization, if Christians

DictatOrs and Shirt Tails.

of course, the black shirts in Italy,
which seems the most pra ctical of
all because you don't need to wash
black shirt for months and
months.
So maybe we're too quick. The
alarmistS among us are predicting
an early dictatorship here. At the
rate all the standard shares are
being snapped up, We'n have to
think up new color in shirts, and,
unless we hurry. there may not be
any new cOlorS to think up, and
you can't have a dictatorship with
out a shirt to match -. that's the
rule. Lavender hasn't been taken
yet by anybody, but lavender seems
kind of sissy, and, while, a gravy
colored shirt might suit the careless
eater, it lacks zing, don't you think?
In any event, our shirt ought to
have a good long tail to it, be-
cause, by that time, the American
taxpayer probably will have lost
his pants.

more careful attention to light ing. the brightness of sunshine is problem to be considered, and feared.
 One day a company may have bright sun, the next day a slight haze that the eye scarcely can distinguish, but which is impor- tant to the cameras
 Since picture scenes are not shot consecutively, the amount of illumination on one shot may have to be matched exactly with a shot taken days before.
 Prophet
 The best the studios can do with this difficulty is to depend on Dr. Irving Krick and his meteoro- logical staff at California Institute of Technology. Dr. Krick issues the most complicated weather chart in the world, for he not only endeavors to forecast what the weather in general will be at nu- merous favorite location areas within 100 miles of Hollywood, but he tells about conditions of fog, dust, and clouds.
 The day is divided into two- hour periods and he calculates the intensity of light at each of those times.
 All tho major studios get their data from him. He's right 90 per cent of the time. Also makes predictions for the week and the month, so that movie executives can plan their shooting schedules.
 Early one morning a studio telephoned Dr. Krick and told him it had to have some fleecy white clouds that day, for an aviation picture. The scientist consulted his charts and said he was sorry, but he couldn't deliver any cluods above the studio right away, but if they were flying he could tell them where to find some.
 They said all right, so he gave them careful directions. The planes, one of them @ camera ship, zoomed away and caught the clouds in Ore- gon.

''Earthworn Tractors" starring Joe E. Brown as Alexander Bolts, super salesman, heads the new show open ing Sunday at the Carroll theater.
 Joe E. makes Alexander Bolts, one of the most comical heroes of fiction, live and breathe on the screen as Joe has lost none of his vim and pep as the greatest fun maker of the time.
 Joe brings to life on the screen the hero of these comedies, that blundering, and in his own egotisti- cal estimation, natural born super salesman, Alexander Bolts, who somehow always wins out in the end despite his egregious mistakes.
 It's a barrell of laughs and Joe has two gorgeous leading women in the persons of Carol Hughes and June Travis who add to the eye ap- peal of the picture. Others in the cast include such favorites as Guy Kibbee, Olin Rowland, Dick Foran and Stuart Holmes.

Hollywood.-For Oracle Allen. life is just one big, bewildering, benev- olent conspiracy.
 As mistress of the unwise-crack, she never has to grope for repartee. The stupider she seems, the more amused are her listeners. She never has to exprss herself on the Future of the Cinema, Marriage vs. Career, Gallantry of the American Male, or any of the other trite and trying topics that most stars have to dis cuss without yawning.
 In fact, Oracle is closely guarded against interviewers. She has been to answer all questions with, You'll have to talk to George about that"
 Miss Allen has no part in think ing up the bland insanities-or in- antics, depending on how you feel about them-which have skyrock- eted her and her husband, George Burns, into the important-money branches of radio and movies.
 Here in Hollywood she isn't al- lowed to see script, although it is generally conceded that she would be able to read one Nor do they let her know what screen story is about, for fear she might try to act.
 Obedient Wife
 Burns teaches her the lines for scene just before 1t is to be filmed She learns quickly, but does not al- ways put the right touch of goofi- ness into her delivery. Burns coach- es her very critically in these mat ters, and she never ventures any disagreement.
 They are working in "The Big Broadcast of 1937," and for the first time in all their ten feature pictures have part which is faintly relevant to the story. Before this, ' said Burns, "we'd just write little continuity of our own and it would be tossed into the picture gratuitous- ly. We'll, not exactly gratuitously; they paid us.
 We got more big pictures after this. Hotel Haywire' is one. Very funny. Beach of Dreams is an- other. It'll kill you. We'll write our own parts for them. Very fun ny, tool hope"

George was getting gray and jittery. ripe for a padded suite in the pokey. So he bought some help.
 He bought a man named John P. Medbury. MT. Medbury had many years. He is probably the been a professional gag writer for only gag man who ever had gag man working for him. This sec ond individual was Harvey Helm, a large person given to composing silly little rhymes.
 So George Burns also bought Harvey Helm. Next he hired his own brother, Bill Burns, who functions as manager of the conl- pany and gag-tester.
 When anyone thinks of a joke, he tries it on Bill. If Bill reacts at all, even by @ blink or sigh, they know the joke is very, very funny and include it in the show. Not Funny, Just Simple
 Miss Allen accepts the presence of all these people with good grace. and behaves just as they tell her to behave. If someone asks, Flows your brother, Gracie?" she'll cau- tiously respond, You better ask George about that" s She isn't funny at parties or while sitting around the set, ant never tells stories. But people laugh at her just the same. Offer her Q cocktail and when she says "No, thanks" everybody will go into spasms of hilarity. At dinner the guests whoop when she says, Pleas pass the rolls"
 Oracle puts department store salesgirls into stitches when she says, "I'd like to look. at some plain linen handkerchiefs."
 It's All So Bewildering
 Such eager responses are so be- wildering to Miss Allen, that the last time she went into store to buy a pair of gloves, she purchased an end table and a vacuum cleaner instead.
 asked Miss Allen whether she really enjoyed this sort of thing never being able to make @ serious, or even trivial, remark without throwing everybody into convulsions. She thought for long minute and then answered,
