MAE CLARKE NOW KNOWN
 BY 1 SCENE
But She Is Starring in New Features es-Bit Just
 Makes Big Hit
By RoBBIN CoONs

HOLLY WOOD, Gal, Jan. l. = Through a movie career of seven years and an average of four pie lures year the fame of her biz gest little scene" has remained with Mae Clarke.
 Her fan mall still occasionally refers to that momentous occasion in Public Enemy" in which James Cagney pumped an open grape fruit in her face and squeezed 1t there.
 But for that scene, Mae today thinks, fans on the street might address her as Miss Clarke" in- stead of "Hi Mae" On the whole, however, she credits the grapefruit with a beneficent aid in implant- ing her name on public conscious ness.
 No More Slapstick
 In her new picture, Great Guy, which reunites the Cagney- Clarke duo, there is no similar scene. Jim my has gone gentleman with a chivalric bang. He neither slaps, kicks, nor caresses with grapefruit any woman. He never liked those brutish informalities, anyway, and women's clubs liked them even less. They did shoot, however, one scene in a cafeteria in which Mae, with a smirk, declines grapefruit. Mae hopes this scene will be re- tained, but it was cut in an early version. Mae is grateful to grape

GAY COMEDY SET ABOARD
 OCEAN LINER
Mary Roland Appears in Her First Motion Picture
 Drama at Coliseum

Two murders in mid-Atlantic and the high-powered sleuthing Of five international detectives are merely minor incidents in the plot of The Princess Comes Across" which is at the Capitol Theatre.
 For the picture is essentially TO- mantle comedy, bringing together Fred MacMurray and Carole Lom- bard for the first time since their smashing success in Hands Across the Table In story perfectly fitted to their type of romance, the pair clinch their positions as to- days Number One Screen Sweet hearts"
 All action of the story takes place on a transatlantic super-liner en- route from Le Havre to New York. | Miss Lombard adopts Swedish accent for her role. She is cast as a Brooklyn girl posing as Princess Olga of Sweden for the purpose of l gaining a film contract. Aboard the luxury liner Mammoth she meets and falls in love with MacMurray, leader of swing band.
 The ship and the romance hardly get under way before the first of a pair of murders starts a chain of suspense and thrills maintained throughout. Music, provided both by the ships band, and by concert ina playing MacMurray twho sings his first song in films in this pie ture) aids the comedy and roman tic scenes in maintaining the films 1 light touch.
 An unusually fine supporting cast, ] led by Alison Skipworth as a wise cracking former trooper, 'lady-in- 1 waiting for Princess Olga, and William Frawley, manager for Mac Murrays band, backs up the stars. Included are Douglas Dumbrillc. Porter Hall, George .Barbier and score of others.
 1 For the first time in her screen career Mary Roland is to be seen in a dramatic role; part with a dramatic punch that will open the eyes of the thousands who have enjoyed her only in comedies.
 Miss Roland is coming to the Col iseum Theatre tonight in Para mounts "A Son Comes Home" di- rected by E. A. Dupont, and this is the production that launches her on her way to a place on the screen, 1 perhaps, like the one she once en- joyed on the stage.
 Miss Roland was assigned to the powerful role after Paramount had tested many of the outstanding character women of the screen and there probably wasn't a happier star in the films than Mary as the re- suit of being handed her first dra- matic part, which calls for heavy emotional acting
 With Miss Roland in "A Son Comes Home is Julie Haydon, who is making her first screen appear ance since her big hit with Noel Coward in "The Scoundrer; Don aid Woods, talented young juvenile; Wallace Ford, Roger Imhof, An thony Mace and a cast of more than twenty supporting players.

Christmas Mail
Brings Postmen's
Busiest Season
Early Shopping and Mail
ing Will Help Them to
Avoid Jam

Pity the poor postman. In just
about a month from today his
busiest time of the year begins.
The remainder of us citizen!y will
be in holiday mood, shopping for
Christmas presents, mailing pack
ages to sister, brother, mother and
father, and good old Aunt En-
mic. and otherwise having fun"
But the poor poStman, the man
who usually brings around d few
"dunns" at the first of the month,
but otherwise plays a relatively
unimportant part in our lives, for
him it is no holiday. His work
will be three times as great as
at any other time Of the year.
The poStoffice department es-
Inmates that the volume of mail
during the holiday season in
creaScS approximately 200 per
cent. Says Mr.. W. W. Howes, the
first assistant to General Jim Far
ley: ,.
at is physical inpoSSibility
to handle this great mass of mail
efficiently and promptly in n few
days.
"Thcrcforc, to assure delivery
of their Christmas presents, cards,
and letters by ChristwgS lay, the
public should shop and mail ear
ly."
How about giving the poStman
a nice big break this December
by mailing Christmas stuff at
least 10 days before old Santa
comes bounding down the Chin
ney?
Tere are a few suggestions by
Mr.. Howes for Christmas mailing:
|. Wrap all parcels securely
with heavy paper and strong
twinc.
.. Use special wrapping for pc
culiar shaped articles, such as
umbrellas, hats and etc.
3. Pack fragile articles with
liberal use of material to prevent
breaking, label such as fragile"
and label periShable stuff as such.
4. Use the complete address of
the addressee. write plainly, and
avoid the use of dark-colored or
very small envelopes.
5. Put on plenty of Postage.
6. Parcels cannot be longer
than 100 inches in length and
girth, or weight more than ~
pounds. =,
7. Use air mail and special de-
livcry-this insures prompt ham
ding. prompt delivery.
s. Use special handling stamps
for matter likely to get broken,
and insure very valuable pres
pntS.

Three Countries
To Be Asked To
Aid In Settlement
Would End Island Strife in
Which Thousands"
Said Slain

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UP)-
President Stenio Vincent of Haiti
has drafted a formal request for
the good offices of the presidents
of the United States, Mexico and
Cuba in seeking settlement of
Haitian-Dominican difficulties, it
was learned authoritatively last
night.
Cables to President Franklin D..
Roosevelt, Lazaro Cardenas and
Laredo Bru are to be sent short
ly, it was said.
HaitianS, who were said to re-
gard the situation arising over al
legged slaughter of thousands"
of Haitian nationals in the Do
minican Republic as a threat to
international peace, already have
sounded out the three govern
ments whose preliminary action
was favorable, it was said.
The Cuban secretary of state
told the United Press in Havana
yesterday that "Should Cuba be
invited by Haiti to lend her good
offices in the Haitian-Dominican
conflict, Cuba, in accordance with
a policy of peace and close inter-
American cooperation, would cor
daily accept"

u. S. Employment QUESTIONABLE
VIII Be Delivered To Every Home
Every Effort Will Be Made
to Secure Complete
Answers

The poStman won't pass you by
on next Tuesday and Wednesday,
November 1G and II; for on those
days QUESTIONABLE will be de-
livcrcd through the postal SER
vice to all homes in Henderson
county.
The federal government is us
ing this method in an effort to
determine the number of people
out of work, or partially employ
ed. The QUESTIONABLE will go to
every home, including those where
there is employment, but those
employed won't have to answer
the questions.
Every effort will be made to
have all those unemployed or par
TALLY employed answer the four
teen questions on the blank. The
QUESTIONABLE is entirely volun-
tary, but federal officials will
make every effort to have Mr..
and Mrs. Unemployed Citizen an
swer the questions and mail the
card without charge) to the
proper authorities.
The success of this unemploy-
mcnt census, being made by the
government at a cost of $1,000
600, depends entirely upon the
willingness of unemployed citi-
zcnS to return the QUESTIONABLE.
The only official census, an ac-
tual count, of the unemployed
ever made by the government was
in 1880 when congress, by act,
requested the Census Bureau to
make an enumeration of the I'M
employed at the same time popu-
lation figures were being obtain
ed. A similar count will be made
again in 1910 when the next CEN
SuS is taken, for that is now re-
quired by the census law. Years
ago some sort of attention was
given to count of unemployed,
but it was too incomplete to be
considered.
The 1880 census of unemploy-
ed is considered reliable because
it was an actual house-to-house
enumeration. That was in the year
after the beginning of the depreS-
sion. The 1880 count showed p
429, 662 persons out of a job, will
ing and able to work; there were
then $4,000 out of a job, but I'M
able to work for physical or men
tai reasons; there were also then
1888 persons out of job but,
for various reasons, not looking
for work. The 1880 count also
showed 75S,5S5 persons having
jobs but on lay-offs, on the day
the census was taken, without
pay, excluding those sick and vol
UNFAIRLY idle. The last group were
to be classified as partially en-
ployed.
But how many are today able
to work, but unemployed?
No one knows.
There are several estimates; the
estimates vary widely. One of the
reasons for the varying estimates
is that some of those making the
calculations include as employed
those working for the taxpayer
rather than for private industry
and business.
The latest estimate of the
American Federation of Labor is
that 100000 employable per-
sons are unemployed. The A. F.
of l.. statisticians do not consider
the 100000 young men in CCC
camps or the 1,468,899 on the

ments officials today said that
changes in farm legislation as
proposed by the house agrieul-
ture committee are entirely I'M
satisfactory" to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (UP)
Administration leaders last night
pointed governmental reorganiza-
ton legislation for first action ut
the special session of congress af-
ter warning factions in both hous-
es failed to draft a crop control
bill in time for priority consider
alton.
Because Of the seriousness Of
the problem, farm legislation had
been given administration choice
for first treatment. Decision TO
switch the measures came after
President Roosevelt launched a
series Of crucial conferences with
his congressional lieutenants.
They gave him ringside view
of the cross-fre of differences in
administration ranks threatening
to delay enactment of his original
fie-point legislative program. Mr..
Roosevelt yesterday decided to
add housing-aid legislation as q
sixth point.
There were definite signs, how
ever, that the protracted fight
over farm legislation was nearing
an end and that agreements in
agriculture committees of both
houses soon would result. Crop
control was guaranteed right-of-
way treatment in congress under
a resolution adopted by both
houses last session in view Of
bumper crops, and declining
prices.
Yesterday, however, Mr.. Roosc-
welt canvassed the situation with
Senate Majority Leader Alben w.
Barley, d., KY, Chairman Key
Pittman, d., New, of the senate
foreign relations committee,
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, d., Texas, Chairman Mar
vim Jones, d., Texas, of the house
agriculture committee, and 9TH
ers.
Moving rapidly after Jones con-
ferred with the president. the
house agriculture committee hurl-
ed two controversial points in
framing a new crop control bill
when it agreed to eliminate pro-
cessing taxes and compulsory con.
troll features except on corn and
tobacco.
Speaker Bankhead and Ray
burn said that reorganization leg
islation would be placed ahead of
the farm bill next week if Chair
man John J. Cochran, d., Mo-, of
the house reorganization commit
tee, is ready. The house could
bring up two bills, one creating
an Independent auditing office to
replace the comptroller general,
and the other, placing civil SER
vice under q single administra-
tor instead of the present COM
mission.
Senator James Byrnes, D., S.
c., who has a reorganization bill
pending, plans to call it up rs
the senate's first business despite
threats of advocates of anti
lynching legislation who contend
their measure has priority if farm
legislation is not ready. The
house passed the anti-lynching
bill last session
Tentative administration plans
call for consideration of the
bill, which is stymied
in the house rules committee, i'll
the house after farm legislation
if it can be dislodged.
The senate passed wageS-hour
legislation last session. Afterward.
if there is sufficient time, con-
gress vii consider regional plan
ming and antitrust law revisions
at the special session providing
the bills are ready.
