Washington, D. C.-Activities of fourteen state forest camps, and several private forest camps under the Clark k-McNary act in Connecti- cut during 1883, 1884 and 1885, not only gave employment to hundreds of young men but resulted in exten- sive benefits to the state, according to a report received today by Sen- ator Lonergan, democrat, Connecti- cut, from the U. s. forest service.

 Sincerity Is Answer
 i've been talking to your friends, your agent, and lot of studio peo- pie, and what they say boils down to this People like him because he's so doggoned sincere. Women feel that when he says, T love you" on the screen, he really means it.
 Taylor thought 8 minute. He said, T guess am sincere, alright. I have to be. I'm an actor - l mean, not a technical actor.
 "There are parts I couldn't play if rehearsed for years. I couldn't be hand-kissing, continental type of guy. The parts I have, must feel. And maybe people like me because they know I'm 8 pretty normal kind of pretty ordinary American"
 Hollywood's private opinion of Taylor is a gretty good index of his short life in the film capital. There are people who regard him as high-hat because he has resisted efforts to adopt him into the loftier social circles.
 They wouldn't mind if Taylor wanted to put on an act of Garbo- esque temperament, but they're stung by the obvious fact that he just doesn't care much for the col- ony's way of amusing itself. Holly wood can't bear to be taken cas- ually.

THE PASSING OF LABOR DAY Thus it happens all of sudden,
 All work and no play, The great change comes about
 With the passing of Labor Day. It's the breaking up of summer
 More or less, so to speak, Surprising how things can change
 In just one little week. It's the breaking up, also
 Of the Summer holidays, Of idling and of pleasures
 And baSking in the suns rays. One looks at things differently
 AS loudly the katydids call, Cool nights, cooler mornings
 Presage an early fall. Thus it happens all of sudden,
 Good-by to Summer playl It's work, school and such like
 That follow Labor Day.

Besieged by Fans

On the streets, though, or in amusements parks, stores, and even restaurants, clamoring fans trail his every step. Taylor never gets angry, openly; he's apologetic when he has to decline more sig natures and begs permission to be allowed to go on his way. <
 He never entertains at his house. He has few close friends, and devotes most of his spare time to his mother and Miss Stanwyck. Hollywood is in quite dither over the romance, but is making no bets on what will come of it.
 After all, Taylor's name has been linked by gossip with 8 succession of screen beauties. He has appeared before the camera with an impress sive number of stars = Virginia Bruce, Irene Dunne, Miss Stanwyck, Janet Gaynor, Loretta Young, Joan Crawford - and now, in Camille, with Greta Garbo.
 He hasn't much to say about his work with Miss Garbo. "It's a job. that's all - just making a picture. Tension? Why, no; what's the use of getting nervous?"

he was having quite a struggle to keep his balance in the face of his amazing fan acclaim. He explained that there were so many things a young actor was obliged to live up to. He had to live and dress and play according to set of rules.
 He said, i've tried to do what was expected of me. I've met the right people and have been = at least once - to all the right places.'"
 Today, an established star, Taylor can do just about as he pleaSes. That's a relief" he said, "but, of course, there are still some restric- tions = new ones. I can't go out in public as I'd like to do = like driving down to an amusement pier and riding the rollycoaster."
 He likes to drive his cars, play tennis with other motion picture people at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club and dance. Really dance, not just mill around on the damned, postage-stamp floor of a smoky night club.
 Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck sometimes go to tle Palomar, a huge public ballroom in Los Angeles. Admirers mob the pair as they enter, but pay them more sincere tribute by leaving them alone during the remainder of the evening.
 They know that the stars have come there to enjoy themselves and not to be pestered for autographs.

Luster Wearing Off

Robert Taylor himself will not always confess bewilderment. He's changing. He says, I'm tired of trying to figure 1t out, so I'm going to take it for granted. The shine IS beginning to wear off, anyway. Making pictures is routine now - just job of hard work"
 But Spangler Brough, small town boy turned world matinee idol, IS still amazed, and confesses 1t to friends. Pinches himself to make sure he's really Robert Taylor.
 He reads his press clippings cu- riously. He regards with some thing like terror the hysterical fans who are always clamoring or faint ing in his wake. Among intimates he usually is to be heard marveling aloud that such a great fuss is being made over him.
 Taylor, then, is modest - so far as modesty is possible in Hollywood. I asked him an embarrassing ques- tion: "Of course you have tried to analyze this thing, and want to figure out what your special appeal is so that you can develop it, or at least preserve 1t. What do you think has made you click so heavily with the public?"
 He was embarrassed, all right. He said, "Oh, honestly, don't know. Sure, I've wondered about 1t. I don't think it's any intangi-

on third None were out. The Giant infielders gathered around Hub bell and babbled words of encour- agement as Di Maggie waited his turn to bat. The big Italian young ster smashed terrific liner to Whitehead who took it at his shoe tops and doubled Rolfe at first. Crosetti scampered back to third safely. The tying run on third base and Lou Gehrig coming up! Eubbell still was on the spot.
 Things did not look any bright CT for the Giants when Hubbell hit Gehrig, for that brought Dickey to the plate with two men on the bags. Dickey, boasting the highest average of the Yankees for the regular season, had gone hitless up to that point and seemed due for a safe blow. But Hubbell rose to the heights and snuffed out the uprising by making Dickey ground cutto 1erry at first.
 That Was All There Was
 Powell, Lazzeri and Selkirk went cut in order in the ninth to give the Giants and Hubbell the first game of the series.
 If Carl Hubbell never does any thing more, his amazing effort on that miserable day at the Polo Grounds assures him of lasting fame as World Series pitcher. He was the real champion. Rising to the heights under the most dis couraging conditions, he proved his right to stand alongside the great figures of sports-a great cham pion.
 From the press box, directly be- hind and above home plate, Hub bells famous screw-ball is a thing of beauty to behold. It breaks sharply to the left and down. The effortlesS grace of the delivery makes it all the more effective. Hubbell's control of this difficult pitch was uncanny when you con- slider the wet, slippery ball he was handling most of the first game.

 Players turning out in DeMolay suits were: Kinky Bayers, Elmer Lindstrom, Buddy Lindstrom, Ed Garnick Bob Davlin, Al Bloom quist, Bud Carmichael, Freddy Har- ris. Chuck Johnson and Carl Jen- sen.

 Frequent substitutions allowed all men to show their wares and sey- eral newcomers to the local league came up with some flashy ball. However, the old hands are far from letting the dark horses put them on the bench, and even in last nights opening practice such stars of last season as Bayers, Erskine, Elmer Lindstrom, and Davlin, turned in performances that show them still very much in the game. Sammy Nelson refereed.

SPORT SLANTS

Carl Hubbell came up to the World Series with a place among the great pitchers of all time as- sured him. He was great pitcher You couldn't take that away from him-there was his record to back him up. The past season alone placed the stamp of greatness on Hubbell 26 victories, IS of them in row. And yet his per- fcrmance in the first game of the series against the Yankees stands out as an achievement because of the most trying conditions under which he fashioned his victory over one of the greatest band of slug gers ever assembled.
 Never was a World Series game contested under more wretched conditions. It started under gray skies which began to leak a cold drizzle in the third inning. The weather steadily grew worse until the late innings were completed in a steady downpour which must have chilled the athletes to the marrow.
 With the elements making doubly difficult his task of silencing the Yankees big guns. Carl Hubbell went about his job with amazing efficiency He limited the Yankees to seven hits, gave but one base

 Perhaps the greatest tribute pos sible was the respect shown for the slim left-hander by sluggers like Gehrig, Di Maggie, Dickey and the rest of the Yankee crew Slug gers who had cut down the best pitching the American League had to offer actually were half beaten the moment Hubbell stepped on the mound.
 Three Narrow Escapes
 The condition of the ball and the field was such that almost any pitcher would have been rardoned for blowing up. There were three distinct occasions while Hubbell was on the mound when the breaks went against him and threatened to ruin the masterpiece he was fashioning.
 First when George Selkirk spank ed Hubbells famous screw-ball into the upper rightfield stands to give the Yankees a one-run lead, Car recovered quickly and erased Ruff fling and Crosctti Then, after Rolfe and Di Maggie had singled Hubbell left them stranded on the bags by forcing Gehrig to ground out weakly.
 Later, in the eighth inning, Hub bell juggled Rolfe's bunt and the Yankee infielder's intended sacri- flee put Rolfe on first and Cros- etti, who had previously doubled
