she may spend most of the Winter at
Augusta. That also hasn't yet been
decided. but she won't play the entire

some of the gals she licked last year.

Could Make Cup Team.

HELEN is one of our better woman
golfers There isn't any doubt of
that. She finished in the runner-up
position in two jor Florida Journeys
last Winter and won flock of prizes.
but she didn't win any big affairs.
She licked Glenna Ware at Belleair
and altogether did pretty good job of
convincing the snow-dodgers that gal
named Dettweiler from Washington,
D. c., is pretty hot stuff on the busi-
ness end of golf club. But it's all
pretty expensive business and the Dett-
weller girl isn't in the heavy money
like some of the other girls who have
wealthy parents who can afford to send
them around the country in quest of
pretty little knick-knacks and links
regulations.
Helen would like mighty well to
make that Curtis Cup team next year,
and she can do just that with a couple
of major tournament wins. To have a
chance for the team she would have
to make good showing in some of the
late Winter Journeys, which is the rea-
son she plans to pass up the Florida
circuit and concentrate on such affairs
as the Augusta, Aiken and Pinehurst
tournaments next Spring.

It's Easy to Guess Wrong.

NONE of the games listed above is

Marble Of Broadway

Because most of the cast of
Broadway Melody of 1887" were
trained on Broadway, the M-G-M
studio decided that all the singing
sequences should be filmed at
night.
Tests of Eleanor Powell, Sophie
Tucker, Binnie Barnes, Buddy Eb-
sen and George Murphy showed
that their voices were better at
night than during the day, accord
ing to the sound department. The
New York members of the cast feel
that it's because of their training

 Me- "--Says Joe Francis
Politicians Favored, Business Men HOnnded Claims Auto Dealer; Obey the Law or EIse-' Court Warns

After expressing his opposition to local trafic and parking conditions, politicians and policemen, in Q IS minute speech delivered in city court this morning, Joseph Francis, 37, of Marion, proprietor of an automobile shop on Meadow street, was given continuance of two weeks, upon his arraignment for parking inside of restricted area. In granting the continuance, Judg John P. McGrath was in agreement with the accused that it is hard to find a parking place in this and other business areas, but warned Francis that there were such things as laws which must be contended with. If you are brought in here again for these vio- lations" remarked the court, you will be fined"
 "RaiIrOaded"
 Francis was given a tag by Pa trolman Richard Mccarthy on April 28th and in court the following day refused to pay a fine imposed. He was given until May 29th to de- eide favorably upon the matter. Yes- terday he appeared at police head quarters with another tag, this one also issued by Patrolman Mccarthy.

Francis claimed that he was being "railroaded" by police.
 Politicians Favored
 He said that he would swear to it that all of the politicians in the city were given special parking priv ileges, while he could not park his car in front of his own place of business. He claimed that he drove about 26,0O0 miles every year and believed himself to be very care full about motor vehicle laws, and that the only place in the whole world where he has difficulty is in front of his store.
 The court reminded Francis at this time that he was not the only merchant in the city to receive park ing tags in front of his place of business or home, asserting that merchants along Bank, South Main and other central streets of the city must also observe the parking rules, and do without making any objec- tion.
 Went To Jail
 About six months ago Francis was given a tag for parking in the same neighborhood and at that time also refused to make payment of the $1
