 Button Alexander Woodhouse, played by Lyman Snow, is DOT trayed as an exceedingly odd young man. who would rather be consid- cred a useless eccentric than spend his youth in a mad quest for stocks and bonds only to arrive at middle age with wealth, a bulging waist, and golf He tries to limit, his am- btion to easy chairs good food, and homely philosophy, but there are many conflicting forces both within him and around him.
 Soon after the play opens he is be- set by wealthy women with too much time on their hands. He runs away from an antique collector only to bump into girl with some variety of free verse, and he evades his brother with a bag of golf clubs only to fall into the hands of an anna teur psychiatrist who needs him to experiment. on 9a re
 Much worse than any of those ob- stacles to his peace of mind is pretty housemaid "a daughter of the people with practical mind and a genuine love for the easy- going and delightful Button Their elcpement at the close, from his stuffed shirt environment into her world of self Prospecting workers is a scene of delightful romance, and Buttcn's parting shots at the Wood house family bring the curtain down on hilarious bit of satire.

lfiE BLOUsED MOTIF

Restrictions that Lenten observ- ances impose on meals are a chal- lenge to the cook. But the house. wife who brides herself on her table takes it in her stride.
 If she can't serve meat she makes a dish of creamed eggs, frightened with green pepper, sprinkled with paprika, and gar nished with parsley. It pleaSes the eye and the palate and it fills the men folks stomachs as well as a steak would have.
 For another dinner it may be broiled mushrooms, big roun d chunks of goodness perched on golden slices of toast. Squeeze a little lemon juice on them for tart ness and you couldn't ask for a better Lenten meat
 Consider The Cheeses
 The possibilities are not re- stricted by any means. There are many combinations to be made with macaroni or noodles as a base. cheese, tomato sauce and vegetables for the variations, There are so many possibilities for var iety in just cheese itself, so many different flavors and colors from mild cottage cheese and it's aristo- cratic sister, cream cheese, to the pungent vigor of Roquefort or gor- gonzola.
 Nuts, too, are sturdy means of varying Lenten dishes Add pea nuts, almonds or oceans to the savory sauce served with broccoli, onions, celery, turnips spinach or asparagus Mix more nuts into salads and vegetables before. they are cooked.
 Main Dish Suggestions
 Here are some added menu changes:
 Scoop out the centerS of toma- toes. Half fill them with a savory stuffing of corn and top them with uncooked eggs. Bake until the eggs have set" About twenty min- utes.)
 Add half cup of grated cheese to cup and half of white sauce. Add four sliced hard-cooked eggs, cup of cooked corn and half a cup of rice. noodles or macaroni. Bake the combination for fifteen

If Your Hair Is Not Becoming to You, You Should Be Coming to Us"
Imperial Valley press., 1938-07-19

WdS SlBlltu, anu Aiooi NV 4h''oiO'
Otis d. Babcock ordered members
of his staff to serve the warrant
on the San Francisco lobbyist.
The complaint was based on Sam
ish's testimony concerning fees he
received from M. G. Levee, Holly
wood agent who testified before
the grand jury this morning. Levee
said SamiSh was retained to repre-
sent motion picture agents and pro-
tect them against detrimental
bills
In earlier testimony, SamiSh had
insisted the fees were not for "legis-
lative purposes"
The complaint charging Samish
with perjury was signed by Justice
of the Peace Percy G. West.
Levee testified Samish was paid
$5 900 for the 1885 session and $l0,-
900 for the 1887 session. He said;
Il paid Samish to look after bills
pertaining to the industry, watch
committee meeting and present ar
guments before committee meet
ingS.
Special Prosecutor George M.
Naus closely questioned the agent,
who represents such stars as Joan
Crawford, Dick Powell and Louise
F'azenda, on Samishs work" on an
assembly bill providing for the
classification of Hollywood agents.
The bill died in committee.
Samish was permitted to state
from the floor of the grand jury
hearing:
- was employed as much for
counsel as for legislative work.
Several San Francisco benkers
were to testify concerning SamiSh's
bank accounts. They included A. F.
Sodini, Bank of America; Frank l..
Moss, Anglo California Bank, and
Andrew j. Gawley, Hibernia Bank,
When District Attorney Otis d.
Babcock entered the grand jury
room he was served with a court
writ prohibiting further inquiry into
Samish's income tax records.

session at balOOnnel airport, WileTe
the 81 year old Los Angeles flier
landed yesterday on his "accidentaf'
flight from New York.
Customs authorities had detained
the plane because Corrigan's status
was slightly irregular. He had
blithely flown here without pass
port and without fulfilling any of
the other formalities that inter-
national travellers, and especially
transatlantic aviators, are supposed
to adhere to.
1t was understood, however, the
Irish government had decided to
take no action against Corrigan-
although the U. S. government had
ordered hi flying license suspended
for 80 to 80 days--and instructed
the customs men to return his plane
to him.
U. S. Minister John Cudahy was
with Corrigan at the airport when
the formal return was made.
It was believed that Corrigan
would remain here about week
while the plane is dismantled for
shipment back to the United States
Despite hints that Corrigan might
have some other aerial adventure
in mind, it was believed that he
would return to the United States
on the same ship on which the
plane is shipped.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
j. Monroe johnson told the United
Press at Washington that the
gentle" punishment which would
be meted out to Corrigan for his
unlicensed trans Atlantic flight
would involve suspension of his
pilots certificate for a period o1
from 80 to go days.
I'VE all admire Corrigan's pluck
he said. I'VE all join In his pleas
ure at the accomplishment and
want him to feel as good as pos
sible about it. But we've got to dc
something about his violation-some
little thing. you understand.
UNLESS some disciplinary measure
is taken, some young fellow may
take it in his head to try the same
thing in a 10 year old plane. And
then somebody else might try it in
an II year old crate and we'd have
them dropping in the drink.
"Corrigan took chance in
thousand. It was a unique flight
but we've got to take the spectacu-
lar out of aviation. 1t has gotten
to be regular and accepted means
of transportation. t'
Aviation neither benefited nor
learned anything from Corrigan's
flight. But despite all I've said. I
can't help but like the lads humor." "
