protest poured into the
Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer studio
when it was announced soon
after her death that her un-

would be refined with a
newcomer named Rita john

In no uncertain terms the public
demanded that jeans last picture
either be released in it's unfinished

on the matter is being postponed,

If you like waf1es, thank the
Scandinavians for inventing them
and the inhabitants of the Near
East for originating the practice
of making the butter which you
put on the waff1es. Bacon and
eggs or ham and eggs next? One
part of that famous combination
comes from a bird domesticated
in Southeastern Asia and the 9TH
er from an animal domesticated
in the same region, but the proc
ess of sailing and smoking it's
flesh originated in Northern Eu-
rope.

for the days work, you start out.
Looks a bit rainy, doesn't it?
Better 60 back and get an UNI

your rubbers (made by a proc
ess discovered by the ancient
Mexicans). On your way to work,
you light a cigarette (also in

Originally from BraziD or a pipe
(remember Sir Walter Raleigh
and his servant who thought he
was con fire''?) and you inhale
the fumes of a burning plant that

But it's about the only thing
which you'll encounter during
the day that is. For nearly every
article which you use in work
or play every day of your life
has some European or Asiatic
origin and fully 80 per cent of
your daily habits are based on
customs which started beyond

Even as you read this article
you'll be confronted with con-
slant reminders of the past and
of things which originated else

reading it during the month of

was named for a Roman family
named Junius. # it's July, that's
the month of Julius Caesar and
If it's August, that was the month
which Augustus Caesar named
for himself cidentally stealing
a day from February to make
his month as long as that of his

Yes, it's great to be an
American. And what prouder
boast than that a person is a
"100% American?
But wait! How many of us
can say that and be speaking
the literal TRUTH?
Granted that you. were born
here and are therefore legal
ly a citizen of the United
States, i. e. an American.
Your father and mother, no
doubt, were also born here
and perhaps their fathers and
mothers before them. But
when you begin tracing your
ancestry back a few genera
tions, what do you find?
Somewhere back there you
come across the name of an an
cestor who was born in England
or France or Germany or Italy
or some other European country
and came to this country as an
Immigrant" No matter if he
or she did come over on the May
flower or on one of the ships that
brought Capt. John Smiths col
onists to Virginia, they were
Immigrants" just the same. So
where does that leave you
with your boast of being 400 per
cent American" especially if
ancestry is taken into account?
The Only Real Americans"
Of course, if you happen to
be an American Indian you can
trace your ancestry back far
enough on this continent to quail
ify as a one-hundred percenter
in: this respect. But there are
only a few thousands of you who
can. AS for the rest of us-we

An the time that Irene Hervey
was under contract to M-G-M, the
executives just couldn't see her
when a good role in q big picture
came up for casting. She married
Allan Jones, her contract expired,
and it looked as II she meant to
retire from the screen. She was
just waiting for the right part,
though. Along came the enterpris-
ing Grand National company with
a role for her in '"The Girl Said
No." audiences raved about her at
the preview, and what company
rushed to get her services then,
do you suppose? None other than
her old studio.

with her radio program and an
extensive concert tour, to say moth

day to get reports on the plans for
her next picture.
It is all Of a year now since Jack
Dempsey and his restaurant were
shown In a motion picture, typifying
the very center Of New York sport

going to remedy that omission right
away. He and his headquarters will
appear in ':Big City" which stars
Spencer Tracey and Luise Rainer.
Jack won't go to Hollywood, though;
his scenes will be made in studio

Receiving today in the hothouse

smartly tailored suit of gray with blue
threads, gay scarf of two shades of
blue and red stripes with a becoming
blue hat, and gloves and bag of blue.

following is paragraphs:
II built an addition to my house

In an article printed some years
ago in the Cincinnati Times Star we
find evidence that Siebert's list of
Muskingum county underground op-
orators was incomplete. The name
of Edward w. Cox, son of Judge
Horace J. Cox, prominent resi-
dent OF GAINESVILLE, and that or WeS-
ley Gassaway, colored resident of
the city in slave-holding days, should
have been included in the Siebert
list, and doubtless a number of 9TH

two:
Edward w. Cox of the Dennison
house (Cincinnati), was liberal
contributor to the underground rail-
way that scooted slaves to Canada.
j. Wesley Gazaway, father of the
present minister of Allen Temple OF
this city, was in charge of the
GAINESVILLE station. He was inform
ed one day by Mr. Cox that three
slaves, the property of Cincinnatis
Neal of Parkersburg were in the vi
cinity and that two English detec-
tives were on their track.
"Mr. Cox got all the information
he could from his unsuspecting in
formant and gave the tip to Mr..
Gazaway in the meantime. The lat
ter started from home to look for
the slaves, for he knew full well
