eight successive years. The maxi,
mum debt occaSioned by that war,
$2,755, ,763 ,929, was less than the
average annual deficit during the
last seven years!
DEBT MULTIPLYING
President Roosevelt has sub.
mitted to Congress a spending
program scheduled to skyrocket
our national debt to $44, ,458 ,O0O,.
600. On top of this, the New Deal
administration has fully guaran.
teed securities approximating an
additional $5,000,000,00O.
How does this plunging of the
nation deeper and deeper into
debt strike responsible citizens?
What would happen if another
Calvin Coolidge were elected
President, an American taught
from earliest childhood to count
pennies, to exercise economy and
frugality? Calvin Coolidge, unlike

that the piling up of debt is a
virtue. He addressed himself con-
scientiously and consistently and
effectively to reducing the national
debt.
POOR WAR PREPARATION
President Roosevelt has had
to say about fortifying the
nation against possible war. The
very worst way to handle a ma
tion's finances is in order to face
possible war is to balloon and bal
loon and balloon its obligations, it's
dificits, to unprecedented dimen-
sions. That is what President
Roosevelt is doing.
When he speaks disparagingly
of "a few millions saved here or
there" doesn't it sort of make you
feel that your efforts to pay your
taxes are picayune, futile, of no
Importance?

RATHER DISHEARTENING
Heavens! One million dollars
has always impressed me, and
probably has impressed you, as a
tremendous amount of money.
When we find our Chief Executive
scoffing at, not one million dollars,
but "a few million dollars saved
here or there" isn't it dishearten-
ing?

welt was different. He was born
OF wealthy parents. He had his

Roosevelt lays before Congress are

both, but Dramatically she b more

Is just what YOU would expect.

In adapting the ancient legend to
Deanna's requirements for q picture
script at this point In her career,
Universal has taken the wise, faith
erly attitude that first love Is essen.
tally = happy thing no matter how
much 1t hurts ut moments.
The result is that Deanna's Gin
derella is . healthy child, who has
. pretty fine time of 1t frustra ttng
her mean cousin. winning over her
poor. harasSed uncle, becoming the
idol rs well Is the ward OF the serv-
ants in the palace kitchen, and
finally capturing Prince Charming
just rs slick as you please. There
necessarily are some intervals Of
poignance, but no one has gone
morbid about them, wistful, rather,
being the limit.
The usual very superior cast has
been recruited to the cause of keep
ing Deanna's picture on that un-
varying high level of sound enter
tainment. In the role of Prince
Charming, = sturdy specimen Of
young manhood who wants to do
something in the world in spite of
all that money. Robert Stack Is
entirely approvable as the be-
slower of Cinderella,s first kiss.
Although not so vital. the stu
dio was just as careful in selecting
George Coleman as the butler who
adopts Deanna when her rich, foster
family ignores her, Eugene Paulette
as the uncle whose instincts were
decent even if he was inhibited by
his awful offspring, of Leatrtce Joy
tremember herD as the giddy aunt,
and very especially Of Kathleen
Howard as the lovable, crochety old
head principal who taught some Of
the important facts of life with 80
few sardonic words.
First Love" is q very luxurious
affair as all Deanna's pictures are.
The only times 1t becomes bizarre in
its bigness and richness is when Mr..
Koster wants a laugh. On such
occasions he never fails to get 1t. A
keenly intelligent patron saint he
makes for the most logical Cinder-
ella Hollywood ever let its patrons
lay their eyes on.
The Department of Agriculture is
the hero of the newest March Of
Time, and a colossal and energetic
hero 1t makes, too. It's ramiflcations,
which utilize the services of $4,000
persons here and there, are enor-
nous and M. of T. went literally to
great lengths to cover them all in
what makes a highly effective edi-
ton. The abstract thing called the
farm problem" is far less abstract
after seeing the film.
Also, on the bill is the second
episode of that new feature, "Infor-
nation Please" a pictorial account
of those interesting goings-on on the
radio program Of the same name. /

Hello, Folks!
Bein' that there are only a few
weeks left of school, and final
exams are going on, if you've
noticed, a large number of the
school kids have been sorta hiber-
mating (you know, trying to catch
up in a few weeks on what they
should have been accumulating
throughout the school year,. q.
The Male Follies, given by the U.
of M. Negro Council, brought a
number of the hibernaters and
other folks in the Twin Cities out.
Really, don't believe I've seen the
folks about town laugh so as they
did at the various costumes and
acts. It just was so comical SEEM
so many of the boys (shall I call
them He-men) out there dressed in
girls dancing costumes, and, best
of all, exposing their lovely (?)
figures. truly believe AL Nc
CLURE stole the show with his
dancing partner SAM REED. Their
version of Veloz and Uplanda was
a killer. (Al looked too adorable
for words in his white billowy
gown. Some of the "young
ladies" in the opera matinee (which
was supposed to be a version of
young women discussing the opera)
sorta slipped up on their lines. The
only thing that saved them was
that they looked so comical in their
evening gowns that the audience
was convulsed with laughter. The
following boys about town looked
too ducky for words in their
beautiful gowns and their various
shades of makeup: JAMES BRAD
FORD, WALTER ROBINSON,
TYLER HOWELL Tyler was
ok, LOUIS MOORE, JOHN CY-
RUS and, last but not least, ROB-
ERT SHOFFNER, who portrayed
his part the best of all. BOB
GARDNER was one of the winners
of the bathing beauty contest, and
was a beauty to behold. Al
