ROBERT TAYLOR

HE long awaited successor to Rudolph
Valentino has arrived. His name is
Spangler Arlington Brugh. Like Clark
Gable, he is Dutch-American. Born in
a Nebraska village, the son of a doctor, he is
known in films as Robert Taylor.
He has received five sacks of mail in one
day at the Hollywood studios.
His father had been proud of the name of
Spangler Brugh; it had been given to the first
heir for generations. But it was considered too
harsh for screen purposes.
The boys father, until nearly thirty years
of age, was grain dealer. When his young
wife's life was despaired of by leading Ne
braska physicians, the grain dealer decided to
become doctor He took his ailing wife with
him to the city in which the medical school
was located. Gaining strength, she studied
with him for year. The coming birth of her
son made her retire from study.
Upon his graduation the doctor returned to
Nebraska and settled in Fremont with his
wife and child.
His wife's health had improved. The story
went over the Nebraska prairies that he had
saved his wife's life. He became popular and

soon moved to the larger town of Beatrice.
Robert was about six at this time The town,
with 1900 inhabitants, impressed him
greatly.
He went through school in Beatrice and
there developed the traits of character that
were to make him the ideal American boy.
DIR. Brugh, gentle man, with an invalid
wife whom he had nrsed back to health,
allowed no cross word ever to be said in his
home The boy developed in this atmosphere.
He was gentle toward women. For, all un-

in the realm Of romance.

great concert artist, asked why he wasted his
time with play acting.
When another oratorical contest was ar
ranged at the college, the youth refused to
enter. Three ministers of the Gospel had
already enrolled. Il won't have chance"
he explained to his mother.
Faith belongs to the romantic rather than
the realist. 1t was the day of the fur coat in
college The Lad wanted one badly. "If you
win the contest I'll buy you fur coat" his
mother tempted. The son aoquiesced - and
won. He got the coat.
Confused about the future - some wanted
him to become lawyer, others cello artist
- the boy decided to study medicine.
His father advised him to remain at Doane.

to the young especially, any moral is repulsive.
Human raw material is like other raw material,

youth but it must be MADE valuable.
That rubber sap and unframed youth are
worthless until they have gone through processes
that impart qualities worth while Without in

processes of development, a million rubber trees
would not be worth ten cents.
The same is true regards real usefulness for

Fiscal Troubles

The hearings now being conducted by the Presidential
Commission designated to inquire into the fiscal relations
between the local and the Federal Governments unfor
tunately are not in any sense defnitive.
REGARDLESS OF THE ATTITUDE TAKEN BY
THE COMMISSION ITS FINDINGS WILL NOT BE
BINDING UPON THE CONGRESS WHICH MUST SET
THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
Congress has arrogated to itself the privilege of fixing
the amount of the Federal share in arbitrary fashion
It has totally dsregarded substantive law which re-
qures that the Federal Government shall pay forty per
cent of the expenses of maintaining the National Capital
By utilizing the lump sum method Of appropriating
for the Capital the Congress has reduced the Federal
share to approximately twelve per cent
The falacy of this system of appropriatng has re-
Gently become obvious through the ruling Of the courts
that all children whose parents employed IN the Dis
trict must be admitted to the local schools.
Because Of the Sinking by the Federal Government Of
its proper share in the expenses of its National Capital
there has accumulated through the last several years
deficiency of school buildings and school teachers.
This deficiency exists regardless Of the fact that the
courts have held that approximately two thousand chill
dren must be admitted to the local schools though
they and their parents may reside in Maryland and Vr
ginia.
The problem confronting the schools is only in
stance of the difficulties encountered by the District in
attempting to subsist faulty appropriation basis
The Police Department. the Fire Department, the
Health Office and the Board of Public Welfare offer
many instances of difficulty attributable to the present
basis of financing the National Capital
These difficulties might very properly be solved
through the deliberations Of the Presidential Commits
sion if the commission able to give its findings the
force and effect of law.
Unfortunately that is not the
It not improbable that the findings of the commits
sion may be totally disregarded by the Congress when
it delberates on the next District appropriation bill
There is nothing in the statute creating the commission
which makes its findings binding upon Congress.

Marry-Go-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

What does it take to make
a marriage? I mean what does
it take to make a marriage
"TAKE?"
Some will tell you that it takes
nothing but love-plenty of love;
and others will assure you that
it takes money and financial ease,
since so many marriages split on
the economic issue. And still
others that the only perfect mar
riage is built on domestic tastes,
a home and children.
Yet, there have been radiant
and beautiful marriages without
money, children or even a home.
And without the glowing ro-
nance that is something called
Glove"
The first requisite of happy,
successful marriage is CONGEN-
IALTTY-that complete and per
feet understanding; that glorified
friendship on which all lasting
love is built, and which outlives
the most romantic infatuation.
Second on the list comes AT
FICTION. Tenderness, fondneSS-
something finer, sweeter, stronger
and more unSelfish than passion
or sex attraction. The sort of af-
lection which is always kind, al
ways loyal and never wavers.
The third requisite of the Per
feet Marriage, and perhaps the
most vital, is TOGETHER
NESS" That feeling of oneness
and closeness. The inability to
think of yourself apart from the
other.
