Melodies By Mellen To Be
Feature OF Dance Here

Melodies by Mellen a statement
that gives feet the urge to glide over
the dance floor, will be dispensed
here Wednesday evening from 10 un-
til 2 o'clock when the Ambassador
Club presents it's first dance since it's
inception during April of this year.
Earl Mellen and his orchestra will
bring melodies by Mellen" to dane
ers here with something like 300 to
400 couples expected to attend this
gala event.
Dance bands are more or less div
ided into swing and sweet groups, but
those attending the dance tomorrow
evening will hear something unusual
when Mellen's orchestra brings its
own developed style, designed to
please both swing and sweet devo-
lees.
This group Of musicians has per-
fected a type Of rhythm delivery free
from over arrangement and based on
soft stoccoto brass, plus clarinet union
with flute work. This formula, when
applied to the newest swing compost
tons, tones them down to the point
where they are readily accepted by
the most ardent anti-swing listeners
The same treatment of old favorites
produced a moderately-paced rhythm
that listeners would hardly believe ex-
listed in tunes written a decade ago
This band has been heard at clubs
schools and universities in Virginia
and proven a great favorite. 1t will be

From somewhere in the building echoed a
quivering sound, like twenty bass fiddles
being plucked in unison. George sat down.
discouraged. 1t was much louder noise than
he could make He heard the pad of huge feet
and the slither of giant claws. 1t was very
depressing. He crouched, breathing heavily,
and tried to adjust his ideas to cats bigger
than himself He was in the carnivore house.
Much bigger.
Sue Elaine's heels clattered like typewriter
keys as she ran up Get him out, " she begged
Hell be killed."
Blake was already swapping orders to the
keeper. Poles Nets Iron bars. Men from
other buildings.
George regained confidence as he watched
the activity. This was all on his account. He
was so busy watching preparations for his
capture that, for minute, he didn't note an
important fact He was not alone.
After realizing this he began to shrink He
declined to kitten size, to mouse size. to flea
size and then disappeared. Unfortunately the
shrinking was in his imagination. He remained
in the cage - all nine pounds of him--watch-
ing tawny shape rise from far corner.
Georges spine bumped. His fur rippled
erect. His tail grew and grew and grew He
now appeared to weigh eighteen pounds But
the big yellow animal was not impressed.
Great topaz eyes stared. 1t shifted like

Get away with WHAT"
with feeding that poor little cat to lion.
I'm going to report it"
Madam the cat walked in there of its own
Accord
And what are you going to do about it."
LET him walk out of his own accord"
'Humpf! You might take others in with
that story. Not me-
She departed angrily. The tip of her ivory
headed cane made exclamation points of
sound. Sue Elaine couldn't help giggling.
He wheeled to her. If thought you cooked
this up! If there were the barest chance ...'
What would you do?"
"I'd"- his eyes glowed wait until this
cat business is finished
He spent the rest of the afternoon trying
to finish it, When Sultan moved to his out
door cage, George tagged along at respectful
distance. At feeding time he was on hand
when Sultan got his lump of meat. George
seemed disguised that there was none for him.
Sultan ate all but a small piece. George seized
this. Sultan growled family but did nothing.
The next day was worse. George had not
left the cage Newspapers were nibbling at the
story. Skeptical reporters appeared. Flash
bulbs glared. George posed willingly for pic
lures. One man even swoFe that George kept
turning his best profile to the cameras.
ALIENS louse, that 8 what he is, he chortled.
"Looka him crowd that lion aside"
Great story, isn't it, boys?" Blake asked.
Great publicity stunt for the Zoo."
Publicity stunt?" They looked at him with
maddening disbelief.
Lets get this straight, he begged. Cant
afford mistakes. can catch that animal any
time want to. You believe me, don't you?
Don't you?"

ward George Then it hesitated, yawned and
curled up to continue its nap.
Blake gasped 'Never knew Sultan was so
good-natured. Or lazy. Quick now. Coax
George out"
She stepped to the railing and coaxed. She
promised him milk, medium cream and
whipping cream. She hinted at tuna and cav
lar. George looked away disdainfully. He had
grown up, in his mind, from flea to mouse to
kitten to his own size and far beyond. He was
now practically as big as the lion sleeping ten
feet away.
Blake poked a long-handled net through
the bars and angled it toward George. The
lion stirred, punched its muscles and leaped.
Its paw tore the pole from Blake's grasp. Sui
tan dragged it back and began gnawing at
one end George crept over and laid timid
gray paw on the other end. Sultan looked
surprised but not angry. George began to
gnaw at his end, uttering tiny growls like the
plucking of violin G. string.
Blake tried with another net. This time he
ordered two keepers to pen back the lion
with iron bars The fluffy tip of Sultan's tail
wiggled He roared and jabbed at the pixies.
LET him alone, Blake grumbled. IF we get
him really mad he'll bat George right back to
Persia"
A dozen spectators had collected. One
elderly lady stepped up to Blake. She waved
a thin, black-gloved finger under his nose.

JUSTICE M'REYN0LDS NOT

 (0URT;HA5 GOOD REASONS

cally hearty, so questions of health need not dictate his decision about retiring for perhaps several years.
 As to the remainder of the court there is nothing to indicate that the election had more than aca- demic interest to them. Justice Brandeis, just turned 82, is the eldest member, but gives no hint of a desire to retire. In fact, the reverse seems true-that he wishes to continue as long as he is able to handle his work, possibly with an eye to equalling the record of the late Justice Holmes.
 The Supreme Court may follow the election returns but its pres ent membership indicates it will lag considerably in any tendency there may be toward great conser- vatism. Justices Black, Reed, Stone and Brandeis are definitely liberal and nor often than not are joined by Hughes and Roberts. And the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Cardozo is yet to be filled.

KEPT COURT CONSERVATIVE

But all during the early and mid dle years of the New Deal he held on because his vote kept the court conservative" Had he resigned, an appointee of New Deal leanings would have swung the balance in the other direction. By staying on he became one of the five-man bloc which threw out one New Deal measure after another.
 When Justice Roberts swung from the conservative group to the liberal group led by Chief Justice Hughes as sort of liberal mediator, McRey- holds was known to be bitter, not only against Roberts and Hughes but over the fact that the court was committed to philosophy of which he disapproved.
 Two of his fellow conservatives, Sutherland and Vandevanter, gave up the battle and retired. Their places were taken by known Liber- als. Justices Black and Reed.
 Justices McReynolds and But Ter, remnants of the once domi- nant conservative wing of the court, stay on; Butler evidently because he loves his job and Me Reynolds because he hates to leave the fight.

TALK ON ESKIMOS BY

Preceded by short business ses- sion, the regular monthly meeting of the Douglas Parent-Teacher As sociation held at the school last eve ming featured two very interesting talks, Work Among the Eskimos," by James Hopgood, and Case His tories of Tuberculosis" in motion pictures, shown by Miss Magnhild Oygard with explanation by Dr. J. Fl. Haldeman.
 It was announced that due to increase of activities during the holidays final event of the card party series had been postponed until some time in January. It was llso decided not to have a meeting )f the P.-TA in January. There ore the next meeting will be held the first Wednesday in February, MT. Oberg's room with almost 100 percent attendance of parents at the meeting won the picture until the next award is made.
 Opening the program were three songs by Miss Naghel's pupils, old Black Joe" Lullaby" and Anvil Chorus accompanied by MT. Oberg at the piano. Two trumpet duets, Sweet and Low" and "Juanita' by Annabelle Edwards and Curtis Bach provided an intermission between the talks.
 Based upon his tWo years of liv ing among the Eskimos on Prince of Wales Island, MT Eopgood de- scribed them as industrious people, uncomplaining and absolutely law abiding They are known for their generosity and honesty and during the time he lived there, he said he knew of no one going hungry, and only one of stealing.
 "The Eskimos train their eyes from the time they are very young, be- cause their eyes are the means by which they live, to spot walruS, seal, whales, reindeer and other game. Not having had much contact with white people they always speak the native tongue in their own homes. although many of them know con siderable English. Each native m order to hunt must first get per init from a superintendent of the school in his district and then must bring back the ears of the deer to show he has not killed more than one

 Principally affected by the "oc- cupational disease" were jailers, who open the barred doors at the jail entrances many hundreds of time daily. Bicycle handlebar grips, installed on two bars of each door, solve the problem of painful callouses.
