II Met Him in Paris" which
brought Claudette Colbert, Mel
vyn Douglas and Robert Young
together is a comedy as crisp and
sparkling as the SHOWS Of the SWISS
Alps. against which most OF the
action takes place.
Miss Colbert, in the role OF a
young American girl on a long
planned vacation in Europe, IS
given plenty of opportunity to
display those comedy talents
which she used so we'll in "It Hap
pened One Night" and THE Bride
Comes Home" In this new film,
she has two leading men with
whom to spar in conversational
give-and-take. Not only is the
dialogue keen and snappy, buc
the rough -and-tumble action and
incidental byplay are equally mad
and delirious. Il Met Him in
Paris" is played with delicious
freedom and wisecracking action.

Passengers of the broken, help

small islands in the Far Western Pa

But three American destroyers en-
route to the little islands off Formosa
where the luxury liner went aground
early yesterday reported they did not

fore l pm. today Saturday mid

were making only IL knots because
of heavy swells and high winds.
Reported Dumping Heavily"
The 100000 liner was reported

Hoishoto Island. A skeleton crew
presumably remained aboard.
Dollar Line officials here disclosed
the Dollar Liner President Mckinley

position but was not due to reach the
scene until midnight.

The Coolidge Examiner has known Mr.. Drey for some

and is glad that Pna County indeed fortunate to
have such competent and courteous gentleman Ted
Drey to become of its citizens and trust that he will

resident of MaricOpa County, who elected Governor
by the largest vote any candidate for governor rece
ed in this state selected Mr. Drey for audor-steward of
the Arizona State Prison. and since have implicit conf

Such staggering slaughter Of human life could not
be much if the country in state of constant

Portland Oregonan there is answer to the problem
except in ruthless law enforcement and that

lives sacrificed the alter Of
reckessness would be sufficient cause for public
indignation.
Safe driving campaigns, designed appeal to the

thoroughly cured the Victims and bitter experience
cured them Lying mangled in hospitals perhaps cngng
to this earth by thread they have realize
how precious life is But the will never have another
chance In that split second before oblivion they too
realized-but too late!

you had not been alone in your fooshness Picture your
self being lowered to your final resting place with the
