rangement you mention and am

have been made" wired Congress
man Warren yesterday when
queried regarding the rumor.
There has been considerable
speculation since the Presidents
acceptance of the invitation to
speak at Roanoke Island next
month as to just how he would
travel to the Island. Some think
he will travel by boat from Wash
ington to Norfolk and travel the
remainder of the way by automo-
bile. Some think he will make the
entire trip on the water. Others
have still other opinions.
The manner in which the Pre-
sident will travel to Roanoke Is
land and the route he will take
are being guarded with the, ut
most secrecy. 1t is reported that
Secret Service agents aready have
studied and gone over the several
suggested routes.

Cotton Prices Soar

to the highest prices in several
years, increased 10.4 per cent for
the United States as a whole over
last year. Increases ranged from
three per cent in Oklahoma to ST
per cent in California.
Acreage and increases in some
of the principal cotton producing
states were: Texas, 12,926,000
acres, increase 7 per cent; MisSis-
sippi, 3,371,O00 acres, increase IL
per cent; Alabama, 2,568,000
acres, increase 10 per cent and
Georgia, 2,644,000 acres, increase
Is per cent.
The report indicated that
American producers probably will
be in an improved position to
compete this fall in the world
cotton markets because of de-
creased costs per bale of produc-
ton.
The South American crop has
been especially disappointing.
The department of agriculture
Buenos Aires office forecast an
Argentine crop of 10000 bales on
1,0l5,000 acres, compared to 373,-
900 bales on 10000 acres last
year.
Georgia and Florida farmers
have planted 10000 acres Of Sea
Island cotton, a long staple which
the United States normally i'm
ports from Egypt, compared with
5000 acres planted last year. This
years planting is an all-time re-
cord.
The condition of the United
States crop on July l was said by
government cotton experts to be
unusually good" Usually reliable
trade experts placed the condition
of the crop on that date as 79 to
80 per cent of normal, compared
to 10 per cent on July l last year.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it proper to

believe that friends and acquaint-
ances should eventually be thank
ed by note no matter what the
extent of their expressions, of
sympathy, but my daughter feels
that for slighter expressions a
printed form could be used. In
fact. she thinks that these times,
and birthday and anniversary oc-
caSionS are the only ones when
printed cards of thanks would be
suitable. Will you give us your
opinion.
Answer: In return for a card
another card is suitable. But
thanks for present or a real
favor or anything as serious as a
letter of coincidence must be an
swered by a note or at least a
handwritten message. Sympathy
shown to family in deep mourn
ing can be answered with fewest
handWritten words on a visiting
card. This limited answer is OBJ
viouSly permitted because of the
effort that any longer reply would
be to one in sorrow. Moreover,
less near members of the family
may write in the places of those
most nearly concerned.

Martial law was dclared in

Chinese were in control of most

Japanese controlled the vital

japanese forces in the combat
area were estimated at about

times that number. Both sides,
however, had huge reinforcementS
on which they could draw at a
moments notice.
The entire Japanese garrison at
Tientsin was ordered to standby
with full equipment and troop
trains hurriedly were made up in
the TientSin railway yards.
The Japanese admitted at mid
night that they had lost 16 dead,
including an officer.
A dozen amored trucks bearing
Japanese reinforcements reached
Fengtai from Tientsin and Peip-

Thrill and action entertainment
for those who like exciting pic
lures. That is the substance of this
taxi-war story. The basic drama is
contrasted by considerable comedy
and enough romance to provide
the required interest. The dia-
logue and action are well blended.
It is fast moving. Much is crowded
into the comparatively short run
ming time.
Brian Donlevy, in need Of
job, enters the taxi game. He finds
himself in the midst of Barton
MacLane'S strong arm racketeer
tactics Donlevy's adeptness at
wrecking cars makes things so hot
for MacLane that he prevails upon
Rochelle Hudson, his girl friend.
to exert her wiles on Donlevy and
get him to work with the racket.
The ensuing suspense, supplied
with plenty Of hokum and high
THEATRES. carries on to the climax
where it is revealed that Miss Hud-
son has allied herself with Mac
Lane only to get criminal evidence
on him.
The principals, aided by Robert
Kent Harry Carey and Chick
Chandler, turn in capable per-
formances The film is based on
a story by Jack Andrews, John
Patrick and Robert Ellis. Helen
Logan adapted and Malcolm st.
Clair directed.

One hundred strong, these young

as being "all wet"

And in so doing they chalked up
a "break" for the filling station
operator, the milk wagon driver,
the ice man, and the other young
fellows who work hard all week
without benefit of big shiny cars
and fraternity pins.
They're the type preferred by
the Svelte and Shapely chorines.

they rate head and shoulders
above college boys and brokers.
Also high among the mot pre-
ferred" daters are studio workers
who insist on talking shop, which
is the very thing the tired show
girls want to avoid after a hard
day at the studio.
Brown-eyed and beautiful Dee
Lahore sums it up in a few we'll
chosen words:

nine out of ten Of us want to
meet and marry some nice chap
who has q reasonably good job,

equipped with some of the new
electrical gadgetS for doing
homework in a hurry" she ex-
plains. 1.-THE college boys and
brokers SOUND all right In
stories, but we've found that
they don't make the best boy
friends.
Naturally, If q girl falls in
love with a millionaire, she isn't
likely to let his money spoil the
romance, but such cases are the
exceptions to the rule. Most Of
us will maryland prefer to
marry-a man with less flash
and more stability"
