SLAP FROM A. F. [.
Labor Secretary Not Asked
to Talk at Annual. ParIey
for the First Time.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
For the first time in history the
American Federation of Labor has
failed to inyite the Secretary of Labor
to address its annual convention
Secretary Perkins, who has spoken
at the last four A. F. of L. meetings,
indicated last week she was willing
to attend the one next month Labor
men regarded the dropping of her
name from the list of invited speak
ers as evidence of A. F. of L. dis
pleasure over her attitude in the
federation's dispute with the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization.
The federation released its list yes
terday without comment 1t included
Chairman J. Warren Madden of the
Labor Relations Board, despite earlier
reports that neither he nor Miss
Perkins would be invited
Federation leaders have been an
cry at the Labor Relations Board es-
pecially because of the boards deci-'
slons in the National Electric Prod
ucts Co. case. The board ordered
an election in the Ambridge, Pa,
plant at the request of John L.
Lewis c. I. o. after the company
had signed a closed-shop contract
with the International Brotherhood
OF Electrical Workers, an A. F. of l..
union.
A. F. of L. officials expect Presi-
dent Roosevelt to send the convention
his usual message of greeting, but not
to attend. They had hoped he would
stop at Denver during his Western
trip. but the Presidents itinerary
shows he will head toward Washington
before the convention starts.
The federation has invited every
Labor Secretary to address its con-
vention each year since the depart
ment was established in 1912. As far
as federation officials could recall. the
Secretary has addressed each conven-
ton.
Miss Perkins refused to comment
on the federation's action. 1t was
learned, however, that she told close
friends last week that a man repre-
senting himself as a federation en-
ploye, had asked her by telephone
what date would be convenient for
her address. She replied she could
attend early the first week and con-
sidered herself invited.

 As the scene proceeds, Lubitsch is like an anxious parent at school play. Watching his face, you can tell what's going on. If the lines are clever, he smiles; he sneers with the villain, looks noble with the hero, and assumes peculiarly calf like expression when the heroine becomes soulful.
 At the conclusion of the scene he steps over to Miss Dietrich and says, That was fine-flne! But this time :"
 A Finger-Snapper
 Lubitsch never criticizes. He merely suggests. The star must know, as well as everyone else on the set knows, that this is a Lubitsch stratagem. .e
 No matter how unsatisfactory a take, he'll say That was good, but next time you might cross over a little more quickly, and look at MT. Marshall, and ."
 Nobody knows, though, what Lubitsch says to Miss Dietrich when he walks up to her and speaks in a low voice and in German. Perhaps it's something about the weather, because she doesn't seem to mind.
 The director has a system ot behind -his-back signals which his crew understands. Sometimes the camera is halted in the middle of a scene, though the actors carry on.
 When he snaps his fingers at the end of take, it means that the take is no good. He does lot of finger snapping. Also his expressive face mirrors his disapproval. Only when he says Print itl" does anyone know that a scene is wholly satisfactory.

STRAND

a new film star = handsome, and infinitely talented, flashed across the screen of Warmers Strand t11eater yesterday winning a multi tlsae of friends and admirers in his first American picture. He is Fer nand Gravel, famous Continental film star, and the picture is "The King and The Chorus Girl" Here is whimsical, glamorous comedy at it's best.
 A. Gravel plays the role of a wealthy, prodigate ex-monarch who becomes a Paris playboy. His titled aunt and uncle try to put his royal feet on the straight and narrow path but King Alfred" loves the bright lights.
 Then he meets Joan Blondell. in the role of an American chorus girl. She is independent, high-spirited, rather irnpudent and cares not a whit for royalty. The greater her disdain of her regal suitor, the more inspetuous does his high-pressure coaartship become.
 Humorous complications follow fast and furiously, aided by Edward Everett Horton, Mary Nash, Alan Mowbray, Jane Wyman, Luis Alber- nj and the other notables in the cast. There is never an idle mo- ment because the humorous dia- logue and march of situations keep up the swift pace.
 It all blends into perfect enter tainment-romance, glamour, com edy, music, dancing and 8 new star who is headed for the topmost heights. Our advice is: Don't miss it"
 The companion feature is "A Doc tors Diary" with John Trent, George Bancroft and Helen Bur- gess. Here is drama with the sock of . tornado-a story from life that you will not soon forget.

Brain TwizzIers By Prot. ]. D. Flint

Imagine yourself going back in history to the days of hand to hand battle. You are in the position of commander of squad of seven men, eight including yourself, about to engage eight opponents in battle. Just before the fight starts your men deploy into line facing the enemy. Suddenly you note that the four strongest are next to each other on one end of the line and the four weakest together at the other end. You only have time to make four shifts, moving two ad- jacent men each time. How can you. do this so that you have al- ternately a strong man and weak man thereby strengthening your united front. Coins will serve well to experiment.

Ernst Lub- itsch, the little man with the big cigar. is hopping nervously from one player to another, pausing to give some special instructions to Herbert Marshall, who has almost nothing to do in the next scene.
 Because Dietrich is Dietrich, an atmosphere of tension always sur- rounds the making of her pictures. But on Angel" the feeling is inten- sified by Director Lubitsch, who is the best snowman on the sound stage.
 Everybody is ready except Mar lene Dietrich, who doesn't like to be hurried. She sits in front of her portable dressing table, fussing with her hair. She pull 8 strand out of place and looks at it in the mirror. A woman from the makeup depart ment puts it back where 1t belongs.
 The star puts an extra dab of rouge on her cheeks. The makeup girl then pats her cheeks with pow der so the extra makeup won't show. A woman from wardrobe ar- ranges the folds of her dress as care fully as though the shot were to be made at the dressing table.

 In 15l3 the island was named Mascarenhas, after its discoverer,' but when the French East Indian Company arrived there in l643, and established the town of St. Denis, the island became known as Bourbon. one of the first French colonies in the world.
 The name of Bourbon was an. athena. after the establishment of the second French Republic m l848, and so this island in the in- dian Ocean was named Reunion. Today it is a thriving but lonely spot in the ocean, from which large quantities of sugar and more than 100000 gallons of rum are exported annually.

HALL OF FAME
Arthur Landlord

This week Arthur Landlord, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Landlord, has
been placed in the Hall of Fame.
Throughout his high school years he
has made an excellent record, always
contributing to the class as well as
gaining from it.
Last year when his class gave a
few scenes from the immortal "Mer-
chant of Venice" he portrayed Bas-
sanio, Portals favored sutton. Again
he proved his acting ability as the
bashful lover, Fred Raymond in "Huck
leberry Finn"
Arthur is interested not only in dra-
MATES and study, but also in mech
anics. Among his numerous contri-
vances is motor-driven bicycle on
which he majestically glides along,
seemingly unaware of the distinct
OUTPUT" His greatest desire is to
take a course in electrical engineer
ing at Johns Hopkins.
The Senior class of '37 is sure that
he will succeed in all that he under
takes.
Miss Rebecca Bennett
Miss Rebecca Bennett, whose moth
er, Mrs. William Howard Bennett, is
teacher in Salisbury State Normal
School, was born in Cambridge, Md.
Miss Bennett received her secondary
education in the elementary and high
school of Salisbury, Maryland. She
then attended the State Teachers Col
lege in Harrisonburg, Va. After her
graduation from this school, she ac-
copied a position as home economics
teacher in Vienna High School, Vienna
Maryland. She taught there for 2
years and months.
In November, 1886, Miss Bennett
came to Pocomoke High School as
teacher of home economics and bio
logy. She has taken an active and
interested part in the schools activi-
ties. Her hobbies are reading and
feeding hungry children"
CONGRATULATIONS!
A most excellent example of real
effort to display the spirit that P. III.
S. should have was recently shown by
Mary Lee Moore, of the Sophomore
class, when she sold thirty-two tickets
for the annual turkey dinner held at
the school last Thursday. The school
appreciates the efforts of all those
who sold tickets, of course, but it must
be admitted that this is unusual work
for one student and certainly deserves
a great deal of credit.
Many thanks to you, Mary Lee!
You have proven yourself wide
awake and most deserving; and your
activity has surely inspired many of
us in more than one way.

to play the Ocean City team in one
of the most important games of the
season. The game ended with score
of 20 to 10.
The Ocean City boys got away to
a small lead in the early part of the
game. The Pocomoke boys started
their attack and at the half had
forced into the lead, the score then
being II to 10.
The remainder of the game was a
see-saw affair, both teams taking
turns at scoring. With only a few
minutes left to play, Pocomoke was
leading by score of 10 to II. At this

first half gave the onlookers a good

less comedy as Coach Merrill put in

team who, being very small and fast,
continued to score on the Snow Hill
team. Toward the end Of the third
quarter, Garrett, of Snow Hill made
Snow Hills lone point.

last game.
GIRLS BASKETBALL
The Pocomoke girls met with defeat
when the Snow Hill girls came over
last Friday night. The game was
played on Pocomoke's home floor,
but due to the illness of several
members, the P. H. S. team was not
quite up to par. Some of the girls
played positions that they had never
played before. The game ended with

INDUSTRIAL ARTS II-A
The second year Industrial Arts
class, under the direction of Mr.. Mer-
rill, is working on many useful pro-
iects. The various divisions of this
course are woodwork, bench metal, art
metal, and electricity.
The majority of those in the wood
work department are making colonial
footstools and novel lamps.
In the bench metal department,
magazine racks seem to be very pop
ular projects.
In the art metal department, many
trays and stationery holders are be-
ing fashioned out of polished copper.
After the projects are completed,
the pupils pay only for the materials
used.
The boys are enjoying this course
and some of the girls, it is said, would
like to learn how to make these use
