studio restaurant. Richard Arlen had to kick a. football the entire length of Hollywood Boulevard to even a score with Pat O'Brien. One independent producer is said to have bet, and lost, picture that he had just finished.
 An executive who always gets pie-eyed and goes to local games has 8 reputation as Hollywood's modest betto. He wagerS $100 bills with lady friends and feminine seat neighbors that the ball will explode in midair, that an airplane will crash in the stadium, or that the star halfback will break a leg.
 He hasn't won yet, but he won't give up. People fight for 8 chance to sit near him.
 Stars Sponsor Players
 Some of the stars sponsor players on the two local teams-University of Southern California and Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles. Joe E. Brown helped put UCLA halfback through schol for a sea- son.

 Lots of gridsters get jobs in the film factories after graduation. Warburton, Marshall Duffield, Russ Saunders, and Aaron Rosenberg all four Trojan heroes-are assist ant directors or are in film-cut- ting departments. But Hollywood is hard to grid greats who try to become actors. Johnny Mack Brown, all-American, Alabama '29, rose to stardon, but has faded from pictures. Dozens have failed, including Red Grange. Andy Devine, former Santa Clara University star, however, is still do- ing all right. A
 Just the same, the studios keep right on handing out short-term contracts to football stars. And the movie press agents always arrange 8 few romances between blond in- genues and touchdown huskies.

 Hollywood-The screen colony registers only mild concern over big league baseball. Horse races take a considerable toll of screen folks time and salaries. But dur ing the football season, every stu- dio is as jittery as a college cam puS.
 While production schedules sag in the middle, big executives argue over gridiron tactics and the chanc- es of Notre Dame. Movie stars, usually considered self-centered, worry about the Southern Meth odist quarterback's Sprained ten don, and whether Stanford's sec- ond-string fullback is going to make up that condition in analytics and become eligible for the Satur- day game.
 Film producers tear their hair because they can't get any work done. If all the actors and actress es who are taken i'll with camera phobia on Saturday afternoons were placed side by side, they would fill roofing section. And do.
 Everybody bets. Everyone, that is, except those who lost their shirts the previous week. Big shots have been known to bet 5000 8 point. Office boys and extras gam- ble in the two-bit pools.
 Agents for an eastern racket ring collect fortunes. They offer 25-to- to anybody who can pick 10 win ners out of 25 teams. Lists are printed and circulated throughout the studios (although not with the companies consent) each Tuesday for the following Saturday game. "Giddap, Bing!"
 There are lots of freak bets. Bing Crosby once had to carry Jack Oa-

Oct. 12:-The American birth rate is still declin- ing, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany, who declares that the drop to l6.8 births per 1000 population in 1935--nearly the lowest point on res cord-- indicates that the rather marked gain, which had been re- gistered in 1894, was only a tenn porary improvement, and that the threat of an ultimately declining population has not been averted. During the current decade the birth rate in this country has de- lined Ill per cent, while the drop of 15.5 per cent for Canada is even greater.
 In 1884, the statisticians explain the American birth rate rose for the first time in ten years and reached
