Members of the ever popular
Aloha club are this week boasting
of the delightful dance they staged
last Thursday evening at the beau
tiful Dreamland ballroom. That the
affair was every bit enjoyable was
the sentiment of 400 or more guests
who trapped The light fantastic
toe unti the wee hours of morn

The gaiety and genial hospital
ity always felt at the Aloha club

nounced than that displayed by

lights and green ferns, which made
a beautiful setting the guests of
the Aloha club danced to the
swing tunes of Harrolds orchestra.

Halloween Memyores - 1t was
really a great day back when you
were given a pumpkin all your own
to fashion out one Of those hideous
jack o'lanterns with the grinning
mouth and the staring eyes. The
only problem involved was whether
you'd rather have it for a grinning
face. or for pumpkin pie. But the
spirit of the day was usually so
great you chose the jack olantern.
So you set to work fashioning q
hideous face that would scare the
neighbors out of their wits, and
send that smart aleck next door to
his home flying. A neatly cut out
top began the proceedings, and
then with nails barred, you dug into
the oozy mess of the in'ards to hol-
low it out. Triangular eyes were a
favorite pattern, with a mug that
grinned or perhaps it turned down.
ward. Another triangle set off the
nose. More artistic youngsters fash
toned face along the more natur-
al lines. He was quite a fellow who
could put a toothy grin on the
pumpkin head. I always had Wis
ions Of doing headless horseman
act. But mother would never lend
me sheet. And oh yes, I couldn't
ride horse.
But that was all back in the days
when the fun was harmless. You
rang doorbells, you spun ticktacks
on the windows and made some old
codger deep in the evening paper
rise right out Of his chair. People
graciously consented to be scared
out Of their daylights when you
thrust your pumpkin with the
lighted candle In it. It was lit ex-

In this country you can get away

satirists :. But whether you are In
favor Of Cantor's pointed ironies
against the New Deal Is not the
point. The fact Is Cantor's picture
is released, everybody has laugh,
including the President himself,
I'll wager, and Cantor lives to tell
the tale and see the box office build
up. Where else could you get away
with it? Not in Russia where ST.

the perpretrator of the thing. Not
in Spain, torn with Civil war; nor
in Japan where the Emperor is the

Italy where the Iron Heel of dicta-
torships grind out repression; or
even in liberal Merrie Ode Eng

Movies Raise Grades

Some interesting tests with view to determin-
ing the benefits derived from supplementng ordinary
instruction by motion picture films illustrating the
subjects taught have been made in San Diego and
other California cities.
In all more than 1000 children were tested, each
school being divided into two groups one of which
received both book and film instruction, the other
being taught through text books only The
ed period of ten weeks at the end of which eamin
atoms were held
Pupils having the advantage of motion pictures
made grades averaging 33 cent higher in geogra-
ply and Is per cent higher in general science sub
Jects than those who used books alone This expert
ment appears to have been extensive enough to war
rant the conclusion that the combined book picture
method is highly advantageous in such subjects as
those mentioned.
Not only is this method beneficial to the ndivid-
ual pupil, but by reducing the number failures in
examinations, it reduces the number of pupils who
must repeat courses, thus effecting saving in
penses for school purposes.
Educational films have been made part of Sank
Centres educational system, and the introduction of
this method of study is becoming widespread There
is little doubt that educational films will become
standard equipment for all schools of the future.

Here Is A Poser

In his radio address at Boston recently former
President Hoover asked one question which might
serve as excellent subject for debate on the part
OF those interested in political and economic ethics
Mr.. Hoover asked:
rs it moral for a government to collect hundreds
or millions from the wages of workmen under the
promise that they kept in fund for their secur-
