Towne and Baker deal strictly in
original stories. Unlike most other
film writer's they never adapt" novels
or plays. When they write a complete
screen play they always work on their
own brainchild. Their average, for six
years, has been almost a story a
month. Actually they write more than
any other 10 men in town. They write
the complete script for at least three,
sometimes four, of their stories each
year. The others they sell outright to
studios, where other writer's do the
celebrating.
Such program requires these gen.
tlemen to be in their Offices at 8
o'clock each morning, and sometimes
they get away as early as pm. They
really have time for lunacy only
when cued by their press agent.
Pictures must follow formulas, fit
into well-deflned grooves or patterns,
say Towne and Baker, or they won't
be successful However, they add, the
formula must be well concealed
dressed up in new clothes-"like crepe
suzettes, which are only pancakes
with liquor on them"
THE formula is the string to which
your characters and incidents are tied, u

RADIANT LIVING
Secrets of Service
By Rev. C.. nj. Griffeth

Pastor Calvary M. Il. Cnurcn
Sudlersville, Md.
What startling events had crowded
in on Peter that morning! ALI the
night previous they had fished but
caught nothing. And then in the
morning came that marvellous haul
when the Stranger on the beach had
called out to them to cast the net on
the other side of the ship.
Before the Christ again entered be-
hind the curtains of invisibility He
placed into the hand of Peter the
commission of Apostleship. But how
was he to accomplish his task in the
face of an antagonistic and hostile
world?
And then somehow there came to
Peters mind the remembrance of that
net bursting with fish. In that mi
raculous haul, came the solution OF his
nroblem. His success would be God
given!
Ours to cast the net on the right
side of the will of God. His to fill
the net with success.
But how was Peter to be provided
for us he gave himself fully to his
tasks? That breakfast was the ans
wer-and the promise! Christ would
providentially sustain his every need
as Peter gave himself unreservedly
to the task of Apostleship.
To us no less than to Peter has
been given the commission, eye shall
be my witnesses" Our task too is
we'll nigh impossible. But we also

RIGGS FIGURES
 TWO VICTORIES
California Lad Confident of Davis Cup Results;
 Draw Tomorrow

Philadelphia, Sept. (UP)-Cocky Little Bobby Riggs of California, No. 2 man on the American Davis cup squad, predicted today that he would win both his singles matches against Australia in the challenge round series which starts Saturday at the Germantown Chicket Club.
 Labeled the question mark" of the American squad, Riggs protested in this wise:
 They all yelled for the committee to put me on the team. Well, now that I'm on it, I expect to win both my matches against Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich.
 I'm not bid worried. After all, there's more difference playing Davis cup tennis than there is at Sea- bright. Rye, Forest Hills or any of the other tournaments
 If Riggs does not win both his matches, 1t appeared probable that the United States would retain the cup. Don Budge, American No. 1 player, figures to win two while he and Gene Mako are favored to take the doubles, which also will be hand- led for Australia by iron men" Quist and Bromwich.
 The draw will be made tomorrow. The experts figure that if Budge draws Quist, Australia's No. l sing es man, and Riggs gets Bromwich for Saturdays opening singles, the United States may get of to 8 20 lead and Shatter the morale of the men from down under. But if the pairings were reversed, Riggs had only slim chance of beating Quist.

ST. ANN'S OLD TIMERS
 INVADE LAUREL LUNCH

In softball engagement the St Ann's old timers swamped the Laurel Lunch old timers 19-9. Fea- lures for the winners. were Dixon Bedard, Ray Grenier, and shadow Each of these players had hit one home run. Arthur TeSsier and Plourd of the St. Ann's batted a two base and knocked in two runs Massicotte and Caron help to score many runs by their fast line drives towards right field. For the losers Nolan batted for a home run and knocked in two runs, Henry Dersor- meau with a fast grounder towards left field knocked in two runs, Babe Parent also hit hard for the losers, and Johnny Dunn, well known by many of us for his good sportsman ship, really made fine assists. and his strong hitting helped to bring up the score. We hope the old timers of both teams will understand the reason why all the features are not included in today's paper. We had no scorekeeper who took tract of the game, and what is written in today's Democrat is only from what we recalled of the things that hap |pen during the game. The old tirn- CTS have played their first series game yesterday, and next week they will play for their second game of this series in the best three games out of four to decide the champion ship between the Laurel Lunch and the St. Ann's old timers.
 Bill Lacourse, one of the first with Father Laurion and Father Parent to organize the old timers, is lost to them for this season due to seri-
