 Tho local merchants set up c great howl. But the crowds came 1 aS usual. Nobody was ruined. The babies were better of.
 Spend Happy Christmas
 The second Christmas celebra- ton was more elaborate than the first, of course. Members of tho Dionne family arrived at the hospital from their home across tho road about 2 p. m, bringing with them their maid. Then overy- body sat down to . big turkey din. ner, tho two nurses experimenting It's preparation and serving.
 Of course tho usual ChriStnaas tree stood in A corner. There waS c huge box of presents for the mother, tho father, and 'their five older children.
 Mother and Father Dlonno went into tho nursery and showed tho babies to tho other children through tho window. Dr. Dafoe took no chances of infection, and would not permit the older chil- dren to fningle with the quins for fear some outside germ might thus stray into the nursery.
 Tho party lasted until about , D. yi., when tho Dionnos went dropping back to their own house across tho road.
 Children Absorb Calmness
 pr. pafoes calm has set on example which seems to Do se. iloeting itself in the children. For instance, when the movie company came to town to make scenes for 'The Country Doctor" there Wag naturally considerable husti!ng and bustling about. Movie troupes aren't exactly 6 regular feature of life in Cailander, or even In North Bay.
 But 1t b . fact that during the taking of the scenes ct tho hospital in which tho babies appeared, the qiins themselves were fer less ier. vous than the veteran actors and actresses who appeared with them.
 I hope I'm not giving away Q se. eret when I say that the first days shots had to Do taken over again, duo to the nervousness Of Jean Hersholt and Dorothy Paterson, while the babies were quito ul- ruffled.
 on tho second day tho actors felt better acquainted with the babies, and everything turned out fine. It was on this day that the pictures were taken which I thought best, and on this day, again, Yyonne was the star.
 She took very kindly to tho new "nurse," Dorothy Peterson, tried tc stroke her hair, pat her cheeks, and then suddenly turned around and kissed her sister, Annette.
 Never Tires of Quins
 During tho last day of the movies making, there was . dinner scene, supposedly set in the old Dlonne home. Tho babies were seated In EUWp obVH Wabsa v DpVVhks Aktds Vo- lieve me, 1t took some fine menip- ulating to quiet the sound Of the i've spoons, as all five babies ifl- mediately began hammering on table or chair with them.
 In the more than two years l have been photographer the Dionne be- he's, you might think would get a little tired of them, impatient with them from time to time. But never have.
 It is trying work. Just like everybody else who has had aay- thing to do with the quins, I've "gone overheard" completely for the five most utterly charming young ladies in the woridl l THE END

 In One Phase of Plan.
 Washington, Feb. 7-Higher inc come taxes on the well-to-do, fed. eFal inheritance taxes on the wealthy, and retroactive excess profits taxes on processorS who have been recovering AAA taxes through the courts will be Roose- velt's answer to recent joits to the budget,

 Most sensational aspects of the plan are It's "soak tho rich" phases and It's objective of insuring lower prices for consumers by re.enaot- ment of processing taxes at substan- tiaily lower rates.
 Simultaneously, Roosevelt plans c belligerent counter-blow at back. ers of tho American Liberty League and other wealthy groups which op. pose him, on attractive alternative for the congressional infiationistS and Q gesture for millions of city consumers who have resented high. or food prices.

Lobby Is Forming

The principle of this retroactive tax Is the same as that of the post war tax which levied 30 per cent on profits from war contracts.
 Already Q lobby Is forming here to represent interests which want to keep the nearly $300,000, 900 of im- pounded and delinquent taxes, and, if possible, to get back their shares of the billion dollars paid.
 If the administration pushes hard on the program herein outlined, Q very dull session of Congress Will become a lively one indeed.

 . Inheritance taxes ct graduated @s rates on oil inheritances of more than 940,000. The yield pfe- sumably would he somewhere near eso0,0o0,o0o.
 2 Processing taxes designed to Ss raise about e3b0, ,000,0 900 instead of more than 0,0o0,000 as under the old AAA schedules. This is where the consumer theoretieally would get c better break than un- der the former program. Tenta. lively, it hes been proposed to cut tho tex on hogs from e2.26 to 70 cents Q hundredweight; tho wheat tax from 90 to 20 cents; the cotton tax from 4,2 cents Q pound, 70 S'S cents; and the rye tax from 50 to 10 cents.
 4 A special retroactive excess T' profits tax of % per cent or more. through which the treasury would seek to reeapture perhaps S200,000, 900 from processors who nave had their impounded taxes refunded under the supreme court decision or who simply refused to pay.
 The court handed back about S2O0,0OO.OOO of impounded taxes, and additional "dellnquen~ taxes up to tho date of the devastating AAA decision amounted to more than S7O,0OO,OoO. The adminlstra- tlon is determined that big pack.

Convicted Slayer of Bride of
Another Gets Maximum
Sentence,

William H. Reaguer, 81, Culpeper,
Va, undertaken, waited complacently
in Jail today for his transfer to Lorton
Reformatory. where he will begin
serving the life term imposed yester-
day by District Supreme Court Justice
Oscar R. Luhring as punishment for
the Staying october II of Mrs. Willie
Mae Wood, a 21-year-old bride.
A jury last week convicted him
of second degre murder, despite a
strong Government plea for a first
degree verdict. He killed Mrs. Wood
with a pocketknife in a downtown
hotel room, almost severing her head
from her body.
This was a terrible thing" said
Justice Luhring in imposing sentence.
when the jury failed to find him
guilty of first degree murder, they
gave him all the consideration to
which he is entitled" Life imprison-
ment is the legal maximum under
the juryS finding.
Reaguer's defense was that he was
insane. The Government accused him
of malingering when examined by
alieniSts.

II Is a DlCUer 'AA' AAopAAS'
story, rich with venom and the small
nasty spite that may be derived from
small spiteful child Miss Hellman
knows her child psychology so well
that she kindles the spark of mali
ciousness to new breaking point.
IT is Miss Hellman's intention in
this artistically excellent film to
point out the fact that small child
can very easily wreck the lives of two
or three people on which she chooses
to unleash her spite. In girls school,
particularly, school for the rich and
the sometimes idle, the chances for
a young lody brat" to confound her
elders is only too apparant.
So it is that when horrid little
Bonita Granville decides that she has
had enough of the school discipline,
which seems to land on her more than
any one else, she points her oral ar
rows at teacher Miriam Hopkins, who
she says was playing at love with Joel
McCrea. the fiance of another teacher,
Merle Oberon.
Bonita's TRADE against Miss Hop
kins and the innocent Mr.. McCrea
(he's doctor in this case), brings the
school tumbling about the young
teachers heads and in a minute what
had been school blooming with
health, youth and beauty, becomes an
empty barn, echoing with stale
laughter, malicious lies and the fright

all entangled with an heiress; a
Oman trails a criminal, the criminal

there's a forced landing, and all is
very exciting, indeed.

THE main trouble is that the pro-
ducers seem to have felt they had
gone too far of the melodramatic
side when their plane was grounded
and their criminal loose, for they
solved the whole works with as slap
stick bit OF hokum as ever ended a
comedy. Things really were plausible
and enjoyable up to this point and
the writer's of the screen play Ger
tainly ought to go hide until this
climax of theirs is forgotten.

A special carpet to prevent his slip
ping, a radio, a day and night couch
are just a few of Bucks indoor lux
urieS. For outside exercise, there is
large yard opening out from his living
room. AS SPECIAL favor. because of
their friendship, the st. Bernard
allows trainer-manager Spitz to share
his sleeping quarters.
Bucks breakfast, when working,
consists Of quart of buttermilk each
morning, and pounds of meat and
3 pounds of vegetables during the
day. In order to regain the weight he
loses while film making, the meat is
reinforced with dog biscuits between
pictures.
In line with all screen stars, Buck
has stand-in at the studio-Cappy-
which once was head dog of the Spitz
Training School. In spite of their size,
both st. Bernards are amazingly
gentle.
Cappy, at one time on location at
Yosemite with Constance Bennett and
Robert Montgomery, had to lie down
and let a baby chick stand on his paw
and hop of. Cappy then had to get
up, chase the chick and bark fe-
rociously, without, of course, inflicting
any injury. Cappy did the scene so
perfectly Miss Bennett wanted to buy
the dog, and told Spitz to name his
own price. But the trainer refused
to part with his pet.
Buck has a special gentlenesS for
children and recently allowed Shirley

in 1.-The Tale of Two Cities" playing
the vicious canine in the scene where
the hunger-crazed revolutionists try
to take the food from the dogs.
