and a daughter whom he hopes to
launch on careers, preferably out
side the theatrical profession, and
to keep his wife, the former Ruth
Wells, Of Salem, Mass, sur
with those material com
forts which were denied the Bren-
nan family in the lean years"
His career? There's a lot of
luck in screen success" he said.
There's sufficient reason for not
putting on airs after you happen
to break into the money"
Studies Strangers Carefully
Brennan studies his fellow men
carefully. He watches for eccen-
tricitieS in people, and studies as
siduously the types he discovers.
He often has "shadowed" an in
teresting personality for hours just
to add the mans individual traits
to his repertoire.
Once, in downtown Los Angeles,
he had to talk himself out of
threatened arrest when an eccen-
trio individual he had followed
from a street car-and who had
been watching nervously Bren-
mans scrutiny of him-turned the
actor over to a policeman in the
belief the pursuer intended to rob
him!
THAT taught me to be more
cautious" Brennan said. "But
I'll never stop studying people.
That, and collecting old clothes
in which to dress my charac-
terS, are my only hobbies"
Brennan is a native of SWamps-
colt, Mass.

Dietrich, Lubitsch

Marlene Dietrich and Ernst Lu-
bitSch have just won a victory
over circumstances which both
have fought consistently for more
than five years, it was revealed
yesterday by LubitSch.
The victory lies in the achieve
ment of a director-star relation

Angel" and the circumstances
are the fact that conflicting sched-
ules have kept them apart in spite
Of efforts to get together.

World War Veteran
But behind his arrival" was a
long and stony road, devious
and difficult route over which
Brennan'S feet often became
weary, his heart heavy. Two years
in France during the World War
broke his health. He went to
Guatemala to regain it, and made
considerable money which he lost
subsequently, in real estate.
In 1925 the onetime vaudeville
actor was trying in vain to get
into movie studios. With him
trudged a fellow named Frank
Cooper. Frank, now known as
Gary Cooper, managed to crash
the gates but Brennan continued
to exc out an existence for his
wife and three children on $3.50
a day extra work in pictures, and
not very much extra work.
His work in THE Wedding
Night" finally won him recogni-
tion. Then followed a succession
of "hit roles" which catapulted
him into the big salary class.
Lives Simply
But Walter Brennan hasn't lost

than Arnold, Harold Lloyd, Charlie

Just as friendly as his greeting to

Goods Would
Stand Up For
Their Hubbies

FLAGSTAFF, Feb. 19-UP)-The
majority of the women students at
Arizona State Teachers college at
Flagstaff would stand up for their
husbands rather than their mothers
if "in-law' arguments developed.
and they would forgive spouses who
stepped out"
These were answers of women
students of an educational sociology
class. The goods voted that family
should not be foremost Importance
in marriage; that husbands should
not dominate family affairs; that
they would give up their work or
career after marriage; they would
not demand pre-marital chastity in
their husbands; and that they be-
lieved in personal birth control to
the extent they would practice 1t
themselves.
A happy married life came first
in the ambitions Of Arizona State
women. Professional careers, social
prominence, mi1lion-dollar bank ac-
counts, and world wide fame rank
next in order of preference. The
qualities they would look for in a
husband are listed in order: Good
character, intelligence, ambition,
home-loving, financial security, at
tractiveness, personality, sense OF
humor, non-drinker, athletic, hand
some, and passionate lover.
The preferences of the men stu
dents were to be investigated.

perature is necessary for feed to re-
sumo it's growth. Even on low desert
flats, the cold nights of the past
month checked the growth of all
early feed plants. Even a week or
ten days of warm weather will make
good feed in all lower valleys.
Should temperatures moderate
normally during all OF February,
new feed will be available over most
of central and southern Arizona at
elevations under $500 #. Continued
cold and steady winds are the only
two factors that could change the
present outlook. Stockwater sup
plies have been increased and should
hold up we'll for many months to
come.
The reported condition Of ranges
on February 1, the date to which
this report relates, was rs per cent
of normal compared with 81 per
cent one year ago and "a per cent
the ten year average for the cor
responding date.
All higher elevations Of the State
were blanketed with snow from six
inches to six feet in depth and SUBJ
zero temperatures had prevailed
during the past month. Over all
these areas cattle were badly drawn
and some death loss has been re-
ported. Until snow melts old ground
feed will not be available. This
works a hardship as most of the
browse has frozen and shed its
leaves. In such areas it is too early
to estimate extent of losses.
In all lower sections of the State
cattle have drawn some, but are
generally in fair condition and
should come through the winter
with light loss.

LAWS

If there are laws of any nature,
Not pending in our legislature,
I'd like to know just where they are
And how our solons slipped so far.
They're going to legaliZe the crime,
OF gamblers taking every dime,
That you and I are wont to use,
For buying clothes and kiddies
shoes.
Then there's another I have seen,
For keeping telephone parts clean,
And how to license foreign brokers,
And lowest wage for furnace
stokers.
And no one knows how many pend
ing,
That call for jobs and further
spending.
In fact I really do believe
That some are written to deceive.
Then Boulder power comes in too,
For it's just share of how-de-do.
It seems there must be a commits
sion,
To guarantee complete transmis-
sion.
The schools, the roads and even
business,
Are with the things this group dis
cusSeS.
Then too one bill restricts the sale,
Of citrus fruits that carry scale.
Now please don't think they all are
"ascrewly,"
And filled with poppy-cock and
hooey,
The laws of chance are all in favor
Of now and then, some honest
labor.
If history repeats itself,
Nine tenths will be upon the shelf,
The other tenth they'll vainly seek,
To railroad through in one last
week.
Please do not think that I,
Would criticize or even try,
To intimate in any way,
That solons do not earn their pay.
But something's wrong with folks
like me,
We really shouldn't be left free,
If we are so durn full of flaws,
We have to have so many laws.

RECREATION GROUP
IS Seeking $1,000
Had Around 5000 at Meet
ing Last Night; Organi-
cations Asked

Leaders of the Juvenile Recreation
Committee of the city met In the
basement of the Perry library Mon
cay evening and Canvassed the re-
suits of solicitations for funds for
erection of a community hut at North
Henderson for summer recreatlonal
purposes this season. The goal is
$1,000 to construct the hut, and 1t was
found that some 5000 had been raised.
Efforts to attain the goal will be
continued, and various organizations
of the city will be called on to make
contributions. Allotments were ap-
proved of amounts to be sought from
the various groups, including adult
Sunday school classes, civic clubs of
the city and other bodies.
Sunday school classes were asked
ten days ago to endorse and support
the enterprise, and ap ar of the $500
reported in hand last night was from
those sources.
Supervised and directed summer re-
creation is one of the aims of the
juvenile committee. WPA funds will
contribute toward the paid supervi-
sion of the program for the summer.
At the meeting Monday night were
representatives of Sunday school
classes and the civic bodies interest
ed in the undertaking, which is ex-
pected to attain the goal sought in
the next few weeks, so that work can
be gotten under way Immediately.

Tire Blows Out
Going IS Per Hour

Riding in a speeding car-hearing a
tire blow expecting to crash in
the ditch-but watching the driver
bring the automobile to a safe stop,
without the slightest danger.
That was the experience of a num-
Der of local residents today who wit
messed demonstrations on Chestnut
Street of the Goodyear LifeGuard tube
for automobile tires on the invitation
of Henderson Vulcanizing Co., local
Goodyear dealer.
In the first Demonstration, tires
were blown out by means of dyna-
mite caps inserted in the sidewall and
exploded by an electrical connection,
at speed of between 65 and Is miles
an hour. Instead of a swerve toward
a ditch or oncoming traffic, resulting
in a smash-up, the car continued I'M
der complete control as the driver
| slowed down, because the amazing
J safety tube invented by Goodyear
kept the blown-out tire from going
| flat at once.
The second demonstration was con-
! Quoted by running the car at high
speed over plate studded with huge
| railway spikes, blowing out two tires
] on the same side at once, as front
! and rear wheels passed over the plate.
Results were the same-the car was
brought to safe stop, with plenty of
air still left in the tubes.
! The LifeGuard tube has gained wide
| recognition as safety devise because,
IN effect, it changes blowout into a
slow leak. This is accomplished by a
double tube arrangement, one inside
the other with a single tiny vent hole
allowing air to pass from one tube to
the other. When a blowout occurs
air escapes from the outer tube in
stantly and the tire drops down to
ride on the elmer tire" which is built
uL of two plies of fabric.
In charge of the demonstrations
were Elmer Marek, Goodyear Sales De
partment, and Paul Faulkner, vete
ran Goodyear driver, who has driver
cars through thousands of blowouts
during development of the LifeGuarc
Tubes.

TEACHERS REPORT
ON THEIR TRAINING
Summer School or Extension
Work Required To Main
tain Rating

Teachers in city schools in Hen
derson were asked in a letter sent
them today by Superintendent T.. M.
Rollins to report on their status as to
summer school and extension work
training, in order to comply with reg
ulatiOnS of the school boards here
For those who will attend summer
school during the coming summer sea-
son, the superintendent approved
North Carolina College for Women at
Greensboro, East Carolina Teachers
College, Duke University and the
Asheville Normal for elementary tea
cheers, and Duke University, the Uni
versity of North Carolina and State
college and Wake Forest College for
high school teachers.
The requirement of the Henderson
city school trustees is that all teach
ers shall attend an accredited sum-
mer school every three years, but
credit for six hours of extension work
will take the place of summer school
attendance. Those who have done
this are asked to have the registrar
certify the record Immediately.
Extension classes were held here
during the session now closing for
those teachers who cannot convenient
ly attend summer school
Most of our teachers have met this
requirement" the superintendent
letter stated, "and the failure of some
to do so places the board of trustees
in an embarrassing position"
Teachers in the city and county
schools have been elected for next
year, except in a few instances where
rsignations or retirements of one kind
or another may have left vacancies.
Very few changes have taken place.
No principals are being changed this
year.
