CITIZENSHIP RUSH
SHOWS SUSPICION

DENVER, Dec. q - A public
pension is an unworthy incen-
tive" for an alien to seek United
States citizenship. Judge J. Fos-
ter Symes of federal district court
told four candidates whose citi-
zenShip applications he rejuected.
One of the four had lived in the
United States so years and said
he only recently discovered he
was not a citizen.
1T seems odd you would dis
cover it just when Colorado de-
eides TO pay a SIS a month old
age pension the judge said. One
Of the qualifications for a pension
is citizenship.

AUTHOR KNOWS HER ROMANCE

study of the subject, and the peo-
pie about whom l write" she
says, Ito make the background
authentic" ~
Mrs. Dodge does her writing in
the morning, and considers that
morning lost if she cannot spend
at least three hours at her desk.
She sticks to the good old-fash-
Toned method of writing first in
longhand, and does her own typ
ing afterwards.
IdiosYncrasies
AS for what Alice Marie Dodge
is like-well, her pet hobby is
cooking, her pet aversion, COM
mitteeS. She cannot sit under a
balcony without chills creeping
along her spine. She believes that
if she breaks a looking glass she'll
have good luck-and always does.
She would rather give stray dog
a home than own a pedigreed
canine.
Set in the country of the old
Spanish Dons. Dare To Dream
is the timely romance of Media
Barrie, who is forced by circum
stances to reclaim a decaying
rancho. She pits her courage
against heartbreaking obstacles,
against even the man she loves,
because she dares to dream. How
these dreams take an unexpected
turn, is told with a dizziness that
is Alice Marie Dodges own.
