Trivial ROLU

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 QN.S0.
The icy calm with which Mrs. Pa
trtcia Ryan informed police she
had shot and killed her husband
because he refused to put their car
in the garage gave way to hysteria
today.
"5e had no right to be so rot
ten-so mean," the attractive 20
year.old brunette sobbed.
NERVE BREAKS
It was the first break in her
composure since police found her,
clad in a nightgown, standing over
the body Of her husband, Michael,
%, a rookie patrolman.
She calmly told them, they said,
tnat Michael grumbled and re-
fused to get up when asked to put
the car away: that, when she
asked him again, he shouted at
her, awakening the baby; and that
then she shot him twice, with his
own service pistol, as he tried to
get out Of bed.

HUNTED IN OHIO

CLEVELAND, Nov. / Q.N.sD.
An undersized "Tarzan," who car
ried a butcher knife, today was the
object of a police search here.
The "Tarzan," who appeared in
various costumes, ranging from a
gray skullcap and a hairy chest
to leopard-like skin in the place
of shorts, was reported by several
startled residents.
His technique was to appear
from behind trees and bushes,
flourish his knife, and retire. One
man who met him. suppressing
his amazement, asked:
aren't you cold?"
"No," replied the apparition,
disappearing into a clump of
bushes.

SIMPSON SHES
At QUERIES ON
ROMANCE STORY
'WaIIy's Ex-Mate Won't
Say Yes or No

NEW YORK, Nov. / U.N.S).
Capt. Ernest A. Simpson, former
husband Of the Duchess Of Wind
sor, sailed into New York on the
Queen Mary today but with no
intention of meeting his ex-wife
when she arrives in America with
the duke.
With an expression half-humor-
Gus, half-annoyed, his only COM
ment was an explanatory -
"Please!" when he was asked If
he would see the former Mrs.
Simpson.
SHES AT REPORTERS
He was no less annoyed or en-
tertained or both, when asked If
he intended to marry Mrs. Jacques
Raffray (the former Mary Kirk)
who happens to be the person who
introduced Simpson to the former
Wallis Warfield.
CThe Daily Mirror today re-
ported in an exclusive article that
Mrs. Ratfray, according to friends
here, would wed Captain Simpson
when she wins her freedom in
MarSeil1eS France
Amazing, isn't it?" he said,
chow you fellows find out about
things?"
Simpsons name did not appear
on the passenger list. In fact, the
only name approximating it was
'E. Simon"
Piled with questions, he pre-
ferred to evade most of them ter
minating an interview with, "Oh,
let's have another drink"
VISITING MOTHER
He came to New York, he said,
only to visit his mother for three
or four weeks and to attend to
some details in connection with
the shipbrokers' firm in which he
is partner. Simpson, sensing an
interview said:
Nov, I trust that all of you
are gentlemen and, as you real
ize, I have never said anything
to the press about circumstances.
You will understand that I will
have nothing to say now."
Simpson was turned out in a
smart doublebreasted gray suit,
coat cut low and revealing sporty
checked best.
He expressed hope that the news
papermen would not seek him out
here at his mtoher's apartment
because "she is quite old and not
well and I should not like to have
her bothered about all this"

GEORGE AS KING,
REPORTS PAPER
Prints Cabinets Inside
Story Then Kills It

LONDON, Nov. 1 Il N. 81.
Britain was given another royal
mystery today when the Daily Ex.
press printed-then cut out Of its
final edition-a story saying the
cabinet was about to issue a state
ment clearing UP "misunderstand-
ings over the Duke Of Windsor's
exile from Britain"
That the duke, then Prince Of
Wales, at no time wanted to be
king, is one assertion which the
cabinet is considering in its pro
posed revelation, said the Express.
Two points are said to be involved
in the explanation:
SAYS WANTED GEORGE
"One, on the day that his
father died, Edward expressed Q
desire to make way for his
younger brother. George (then
Duke of York;" said the early
Express story.
1.-TWO, after he abdicated, he
himself declared that he would
go abroad and remain for at
least three years

SOUGHT PRIVATE LIFE
Wales gave as his reason tenn
peramental inability to become
a 'vaticanized monarch in the
sense that he desired a fuller :
private life than tradition would
allow him." said the account. 1

INQUISITIvE SAL
By Helen M. Scott

Our interview this week is with
Annie Ewing Smith, Urban League
office secretary in the Minneapolis
office. Mrs. Smith is known as one
of the most capable stenographers
and secretaries in the Twin Cities.
She is always willing to give en-
enlargement to the young and old
and / know my readers will like
her answers:
1. Where were you born? Ans.
Gibson, La.
2. Where are you employed?
Ans.-Twin City Urban League.
8. What do you do in your spare
time? Ans.-Read, but I do not
have very much spare time.
4. Would you favor the crea-
ton of a state to be operated and
manned by Negroes as proposed by
the "Forty-niners"? Ans.-No. I
do not believe that the solution of
the so-called Negro problem can
be found in the colonization of all
Negroes, nor in milder forms of
segregation.
5. Do you find life a hum-drum
affair? Ans.-Indeed not. Let the
beautiful ladies of the screen and
stage along with their other tai
ented sisters speak of their inter
esting careers, but I'd like to say
that those of US who take dictation,
sometimes to the tune of a pipe
impeded voice; tend the biddings
of that relentless master, the tele-
phone; and perform multitudinous
other unrecorded tasks, find life
moving along at a rather rapid
pace. It's great however, I'd be as
a ship adrift without the dear old
U. L.
6. What is your hardest house
hold task? Ans.-The most diff
cult task is arising and checking
the alarm clock at a. m. If can
resist the temptation to return to
bed for just give minutes" my
daily household routine runs very
smoothly.
7. Who are your favorite screen
stars? Ans.-George Arliss and
Paul Robson, but I prefer the
stage.
8. Do you think Joe Louis will
ever be heavyweight champion of
the world? Ans.-Yes. If, how
ever, Schmeling wins the title and
defends it in Germany Joe Louis
will not become world champion at
the present.
9. What first attracts you to a
man? Ans.-A courteous and gen.
tie manner plus a sense of humor
(or what passes for one).
10. Under what nation is the
Negro accorded the best treat
ment? Ans.-Russia.
II. What music do you enjoy
most on the radio? Ans.-Semi-
Classic.
IL. Has any American Negro
ever married into European royal
ty, and, if so, what was the rank ?
Ans.-Yes, Josephine Baker mar
ried the Italian Count, Petite Di
Albertino.
10. Would you rather have per-
feet health or lots of money? Ans.
Perfect health, of course.
IA. What interests you most in
life? Ans.-The welfare and flu
ture of my twelve-year-old daugh-
ter.
Information about myself,
there's not much-graduated from
South High School, have had liz
