HARLOW LIFE WAS ONE OF SURPRISES
Born Harlean Carpenter, Daughter of Dentist;
 Took Mothers Name
BY WELLAND GORDON

NOAAASO0 \ ASS0 0SS44 WI SRUAAuCutI
 Hollywood, June 7-Life to Jean Harlow was succession of Sur- prises. That was the way she want- ed it-uncertain and exciting. That was why, perhaps, she could play the roles of flaming youth with such gay and natural abandon. Over and over again she came to the cross- roads and faced the query which she put into words after her third marriage was broken up: "What will happen next?" There was one stabalizing motive in her life. In few humans was material influence more apparent than in the Kansas City dentists daughter who rock eted to the slippery heights of Hol- lywood. It even provided her screen name. Her mothers maiden name was Jean Harlow.
 Daughter of Dentist
 Miss Harlow was born Harlean Carpenter, daughter of Dr. Monte Carpenter and Jean Harlow Car

Then, from behind a grand piano,

them, pausing only long enough
to say:
Who is that magnificent look

LAS VEGAS, New, Dec. 7 (UP)
When my ship comes in the first
thing that I am going to do (after
firing the captain for taking so
long to make porD is to come out
here in the Mojave desert and
build myself house.
Until yesterday the desert would
have been the last place 1 would
have selected for homesite, for |
had always thought of a desert
as nothing but blistering sands,
bleached bones, and fierce sheiks
who thought nothing of riding in
to a mans home and making off
with his most treasured things,
such as an ash tray from Niagara
Falls, balsam pillow, and his wife.
Yesterday, however, I crossed
the desert and had one of the
most glorious times of my life. For
hours l saw mirage after mirage,
and while I have never dreamed
the dreams of an opium pipe 1
will stack the pleasures of things
one sees in the mystic air of the
desert against any produced by the
sweet and lovely poppy.
I hadn't been in the desert for
more than a mile when there, run
ming against the horizon, were
War Admiral and Sea Biscuit. I
could see them just as clearly as if
they had been On the Churchhill
Downs track. The cactus plants
made perfect furlong poles, and in
my hand I could feel $50 mutuel
ticket on War Admiral. You can
imagine my delight when War Ad-
miral broke on top, hit the quarter
mile three lengths in front. pulled
away to a ten length lead in the
backstretch, and came romping
home a winner by twenty lengths
And then, just as clearly as could
be, there rose a pay-off board, and
on it were figures that told me
Man O'War's boy had paid the
fat and saucy odds to 100 to l.
But to show you how glorious
these mirages are, the next one
was so satisfying and thrilling that
I didn't even bother to go down
and cash my $50 ticket on the win
ner. This second mirage took the
