played leading part with Richard
Tauber in Berlin. In all, she has
appeared in about 20 films and a
dozen stage productions. Mostly dra-
matte roles.
Miss Lind went to England for the

cepted the part she was unable to
speak English, but in three weeks
learned to parrot the lines SO ac-
ceptably that the engagement lasted
eight months. She used the same

END OF BATTLE
Finally the Serranos (moun-
taineerS) whom the townSpe eople
had always feared, came down
and captured the city for Obre-
gon, the President, and the Fed
eralistsI And that was the end
of the Battle Of Oaxaca."
The most thrilling part Of the
tale is the time Celima and two
little cousins stole away to go
horseback riding. But when
they came across a church with
fresh human heads strung up on
poles they turned and trotted
back home as fast as their
horses would carry them. And,
boys and girls, they took the
parental medicine meekly when
the time came to pa. for their
folly-and little Celima never,
never ran afar again during
the revolution!
And now our beautiful heroine
is married to a Washington
newspaperman who insists on
remaining incognito-ives in
Alexandria and the last
glimpse we had Of her was with
a bag in her hand going to spend

"I Work for Uncle Sam"
CeIinla Hazard Used
To Peril, Learned
In Revolution

If someone tossed a bomb
through the window of Cel1ma
Hazard at the Civil Service
Commission. it is unlikely that
the pretty little secretary would
bat an eye lash. In fact, she'd
probably yawn and ask if some
body hadn't dropped something.
For, as a child of IL Cellma
spent six months eating, sleep
ing and playing to the rat-tat-
tat of the Mexican revolution.
1t is impossible to imagine the
gentle little Celima (Who really
looks as though she couldn't
say scat" to a flea), tell of her
blood-curdling experiences as
the daughter of an engineer in
Mexico.
The State of Oaxaca is called
the cradle of the revolution"
and it so happened that Oaxaca
was home to the little secretary
when Generals de Ia Huerta and
Obregon were staging the big
Mexican show. Pull up chair,
my children, and listen to a tale
that makes Red Riding Hood
sound like a radio bedtime
story.
SHE'S A CALIFORNIAN
Our heroine is really Ameri-
can, born in San Diego. Her
charming first name comes from
her mothers French ancestry.
And that is where she gets her
lovely Latin brown eyes and
wavy black hair. At IL years
of age, Celima spoke nothing
but Spanish. At 16 she entered
the University of Arizona for
Two years. Went from there to
an A. B. degree at George Wash
ington University.
Her fathers work took him to
so many copper and silver min
ing towns that his daughter went
to six schools in one semester!
After learning English, she'd
forget Spanish in few weeks.
Then they'd go back to a Span
ish atmosphere and the English
would slip away. An adaptable
child was Celima! Now for the
big battle!
ESCAPE FIGHTING
Celirna had been living with
her father and mother for a
time in Taviche, in the noun
tains of Mexico. They heard
of the unrest and decided it
would be safer to get down to
Oaxaca. To get there, the little
party had to travel to Ocotlan
on a hand car, pushed by 20
Indian servants. 1t was great
fun to the 11-year-old, riding
the gorges in that hand car!
Her eyes dance in the telling.
In spite OF guerrilla fighting,
they arrived safely at Ocotlan
and caught the train that ran

There were mother and I, all
alone in that barricaded place

not let father back in to pro-

got an order from General de la

we went to stay with friends.
