DULUTH Wins
JAYSEE tilt
Locals Miss Many Chances to
Score and Finish Short on
33 to % Count.

Missing many opportunities to score
and take the lead in the third period,
the Ely Junior College basketball team
bowed to the Duluth JaySeeS, 80 to %,
in game played at Duluth, Saturday
evening.
Duluth went to the front in the first
period to hold a 10 to margin as the
quarter ended, but Ely came back with
fine passing game to knot the count,
Is all, at the half Both teams put on
speed in the third period, with Ely
missing shots which would have given
them the lead. Duluth led 81 to 10
going into the last quarter. Ely knotted
the score early in the fourth, but Du-
luth went on a scoring rampage to
draw away to a 10 point margin when
the final gun sounded.
Elys inability to count free throws
during the game was deciding factor
in the final result. The locals were
able to register but gift losses while
the Duluthians were making eleven.

StOUe in Car
Starts Blaze

Pipestone-Its cold driving in cars
these days, and Harry Schumacher of
Jasper hit upon swell idea for keep
ing himself warm and comfortable. He
installed portable kerosene stove in
the back of the car. The idea was fine
in fact, he became much too warm for
awhile when the stove got too hot and
the automobile burned on the road
about two miles from the village Be-
fore Schumacher had gone far with his
improvised heater, the stove tipped and
some kerosene spilled. It caught fire
the flames spread quickly, and soon
the whole car was ablaze. No one was
injured, but the car was destroyed as
Schumacher sat beside the road and
kept warm.

Vance Chapman, who writes
a syndicated column for sew
eral Minnesota newspapers,
rises to ask how "you out in
the sticks, to whom ten or more
hours is an accepted days
labor and $75 a month a God
send, think of the latest in labor
codes for the 10000 and more
listed as state employes?" He
then goes on to give the labor
code promulgated by the "Big
Three" and fully backed by
Governor Benson and his cab
met. He says that "six and
one-half hours was this week
made to constitute a days labor
for all state employees or 33 -
hours in all for a weeks work.
On top of this, 116 days of the
SO weeks period was set aside
for recreation and worship and
to this was added Is full work
ing days to be listed as sick
leave and two weeks vacation
annually, both with pay"
The County Chairman fur
Their goes on to say "the 116
non-working days consist of SO
Saturdays, the same number of
Sundays, eleven legal holidays
and two half holidays preced-
ing Christmas and New Years.
Where public necessity compels
any labor above the specified
3212 hours, time and a half
and in some cases double time
will be paid by the state"
With a tinge of sarcasm, Mr..
Chapman then goes on to say
that "as the state law reads
eight hours constitutes a days
work, there is nothing to pre-
vent the state or any group
from fixing the maximum at a
less figure and the administra-
ton has acted in accordance.
Of course, the new labor code
applies only to those employees
under Farmer-Labor jurisdic-
ton, but that it's spread to other
constitutional divisions is more
than likely, goes without say

Are St. Louis, Missouri people
cuckoo? Clifford Greve, Jr.,
resigned as assistant attorney
in the highway department of
Missouri because he did not
consider it fair to the taxpayers
to take pay for doing nothing,
No rush of office holders to
emulate Mr.. Greve has fol-
lowed. Things may be diff
ferent in Missouri, but in other
states we could mention, such
a luscious vacancy would STAN
pede 500 or more applicants for
the job before the ink on the

Highlighted by sparkling perform ances from Guy Kibbee and Cora Witherspoon, RKO Radios new comedy, The Big Shot" is fast moving laugh provoked packed with tn Ills.
 Revolving about the vicissitudes of a small town veterinary and his family after they have inherited a fortune from an unknown uncle the picture packs punch from thc outset and winds up in a thrilling climax, following skirmish between Kibbee and a mob of big city gang sters.

 Both Kibbee and his daughter, who is in love with reporter on the home town newspaper, Gordon Jones, fesent leaving their home, but the dominating mother has her way. When it is later learned that the uncle had been chief of gang, her plans become seriously compli- cated
 Kibbee and Miss Witherspoon seize the opportunity in this picture to confirm. their rating as two of the best comedians on the screen. Miss Moore and Gordon Jones make an appealing romantic couple and both turn in convincing perform ances.

Rochelle Hudson and Jack Haley Featured in "She
 Had to Eat" Coliseum

Gather as many comedians as you can. give them just the skeleton of a story, and they'll soon have you laughing until your bones rattle, is the experience of director Malcolm St. Clair who tried just that in Twentieth Century -F'oX's She Had To Eat" featuring Jack Haley, now at the Coliseum Theatre.
 On the set of this unusual com edy St. Clair managed to amass the startling total of six comedians: Jack Haley. Arthur Preacher, Eu- gene Palette, Douglas Fowley, John Qualen and Tom Kennedy; and, with his tongue in his cheek, let them go to it, in the expectation that each of them would try to grab every laugh for himself.
 In every scene each of the comics brings out line for himself which he thinks tops all the others, with the result that St. Clair has six laughs where only one grew in the script.
 When any one of the six has a line all to himself all the others try to steal the scene with bits of pantomime business in the back ground, with an inevitable double up of hilarity. This habit makcs ebOntiro clOce-tlf1c difficult indpcfl
 But there is courtesy even among comedians, and so Rochelle Hudson, who plays the romantic lead op- posite Jack Haley, gets her close ups without fight.
 There is one other player, how ever, who gets away with scene after scene. He is Cactus" the trained rabbit, who, when he gets Jack in trouble, has the picture all to himself.

HOLLYWOOD, May 19.-The ad in the Personals" was intriguing.
 "See Hollywood night life accom- panied by the film stars of yester- day." it invited.
 So I called the number-and I met Cherie Ray. Cherries hearty blonde with an office on Hollywood boulevard. The sign offers "profes- sional escorts" and professional listening" and if the telephones repeated ringing means anything Cherie is doing good business.
 Cherie got the idea two years ago when she came down from San Francisco for a visit, bringing her incest clothes, and didn't see any thing of Hollywood because she didn't know anybody. A woman travelling alone couldn't just page an escort out of thin air, so Cherie went home. Tn Egypt, friend told her, a woman could always find a reliable, presentable guide, perfectly safe and on the up-and-up. So Cherie came back, and went into business.
 It might strike you as business fraught with potential dynamite, this supplying of dates" for lone some visitors and residents.
 Employs 126 Persons
 "It isn't" said Cherie. T know people. can size up customer in a minute. If there's anything fun ny in the air, catch it. Then all my escorts are busy, and it's no deal"
 The retired vaudeville and stock actress gives part-time employment to 49 men, ages 21 to 60. and TT women, ages 21 to 50 Her basic requirement in selecting escorts" is college background. Refinement, personality, and character are others equally essential She has college boys, film extras, stenogra- phers, young doctor or two, a lawyer, and couple of titles on her list. Tennis players, golfers, motorists, observation-disclosures, filters mat bridge, guides to see the sights are called for as often as evening escorts. The regular fee is

 Chcrie knows of similar agencies in San Francisco, New York, and Detroit, thinks every city should have one.

 T believe I've prevented quite 8 few, divorces with this work" she says. How? Well convention is in town. The wife comes along with the husband. He's having swell time, banquets, parties, meetings. She's sitting in her hotel room, fuming They go back home, and what funs she had? She can't forget it, won't let him forget it.. Presto, divorce! But if she calls me, then she has a swell time too Goes places and see things. Both happy, see?"
 The need for escorts is confined to no age A recent customer was 73-year-old woman who drowned on drinking and smoking, but want ed to dance. This one, Cherie ayers, turned down 60-year- escort because he was too old!' She took a 50
 Professional listening" is more or less a sideline-Cherie does it, $3 an hour, $2 half hour.
 That's real service too" she says. People come to me just to get things off their chest. There was a movie director in the other day wanted to air his troubles couldn't do it at home because his wife told him to keep his work at the studio. Well, I listen sympa- thetically. and I think it helps. No, I never give advice unless it's ask ed, and then-oh very tactfully."
