In my Office high above the pleas

wire from an agent in far-off Bor-
neo. Three years of rumor chasing
and expeditions have been rewarded.
Out of the back of beyond he has
brought small, bright-faced brown
youngster in his early teens. A gay.
high-hearted little native boy who
is ecaudated. And before you reach
for the dictionary I'll break down
and tell you. Ecaudated is just IS
word meaning the boy has a tail!
Yes, sir, shades of P. T. Barnum, an
other milestone in the show world
has been reached, another bit of car
nival history is chalked up. For the
first time there will be placed on

Fair human with tail. (How far
is it to the monkey house?)
Then the trouble begins. Bonds are

Who Gets Spanked,
Gets It Again

Billie Burke and C. Aubrey Smith
met for the first time since ap-
pearing in a play together in Lon
don % years ago when they re-
ported to the Walter Wanger studio
for their roles in Externally Yours. 4"
After exchanging "reminiscences
Miss Burke said: IF you will re-
call in that play you were my BROTH
er, and you spanked me. I'm glad
we don't have to go through that
again"
Yes, yes" replied the dignified
Mr.. Smith.
That's where you both get
fooled" grinned Director Tay Gar
nett, handing them copies of the
script. Toward the end of the pic
ture Mr.. Smith spanks you again,
Billie, for meddling in the romance
between Loretta Young and David

All of this must be hidden from the
camera.
In an effort to learn the true
measure of unconscious agitation
produced during midsummer love
scenes in pictures on the principals
involved, Doc" Paul McWilliams re-
Gently took temperatures and made
cardiographs of a number of play
ers.
He found that Eddie Albert's heart
picked up % beats per minute dur
ing the time he had zorina in his
arms during rehearsals and scenes
for "On Your Toes" His tempera-
ture rose half degree at the same
time.
The calm and lovely Zorina
showed no such reaction to Mr. AL
berts cinematic attentions. But her
pulse responded instantly to the
presence of George Balanchine, her
husband and ballet master, when he
appeared on the set.
Joel McCrea drove newcomer
Brenda Marshall's pulse up six
counts in less than two minutes, al
though her temperature remained
normal throughout the entire film
ing of Espionage Agent
Enrol Flynn, according to Doc
McWilliams, failed to register heav-
lily in either the temperature or pulse
of Bette Davis during the love scenes
of The Private Lives of Elizabeth
and Essex" because both are expert
enced troupers. Flynn's presence or
the set. however, started the heart
of Nanette Fabares, a recent discov-
cry, going at such rate that she
was given two aspirins to quiet her
nerves. 'Maris Wrixon developed a
temperature of 103, which was con-
sidered record in cases of this kind
until it was discovered that she had
a touch of the "flu" and shouldn't
have been working at all.
Tests made on Make Rosenbloom
the actor fighter club owner, showed
that even the master of ring tech
nique is not immune to excitement
when in close proximity to the la
dies. Jane Bryan's pulse, which had
leaped an even dozen counts during
love scenes with Jimmy Cagney
stood stock still in the presence OF
the light-heavyweight champion OF
the world. Or was he?

posed to the smouldering "oomph'
of Ann Sheridan during the time

 Furthermore. baseball is the only sport that lassoes the President for it's opening. This bit of progress has come about in the last quarter-cen- tury. Historians leave us no direct information on the matter. but it is likely that in 1889, when Abner Doubleday originated baseball, that Martin Van Buren, the White House incumbent, gave it no more notice than casual 'stroking of his side burns and another dip of snuff.

UNITED STATES
 PRISON PLANTS
 EXPANDED NOW

WASHINGTON, May Con the Increase for several years, Federal prison population is running well ahead of budget estimates for the current fiscal year. In eight of the larger institutions the aggregate population is 1900 greater than budget experts figured.
 There are two causes, according to James V. Bennett, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. One is the wider scope of Federal criminal Jurisdiction. Last year, for example, Congress passed an act to control the sale of marihuana drugs; this act has already increased the Fed eral prison population by about 5O0 Longer sentences have also con- tributed to the Federal prison popu- lation boost.
 With the completion of six new in stitutions now under construction the present overcrowding in Federal prisons will be eliminated. The new penal institutions will be located at Terre Haute, Ind, Denver. Colo. Texarkana. Texas; Ashland, Ky: Danbury, Conn, and Dallas, Texas.

Juneaus Penny Drive for the Children's Orthopedic Hospital, Se- attle, is well underway and more than two hundred coin envelopes have been distributed in the busi- ness sections of Juneau by Mrs. R. L.. Bernard Penny Drive chairman, and Mrs w. A. Chipperfield
 During the first two weeks in May they make mute appeal to contributors to open their hearts, to help crippled child.
 The Crippled Children's Division of the Territorial Department of Health today urged the support of the Penny Drive. Tn spite of the fact that the Territory and the Of flee of Indian Affairs make month ly payments to the hospital for actual hospital and nursing care on per case basis, these payments do not nearly cover the cost of all services for the children.
 The so-called extras" the addi- tional services which make each patients daily life happier, and which may hasten recovery, are provided by the hospital out of funds which are collected by volun- tary subscription. One need only mention the recreational handicraft and the school work which keep the idle fingers of the children busy Then too, there is convalescent home which is so essential for the Alaska children where they may be kept under medical supervision and physictherapy treatment until com .plete recovery is assured. and the danger of relapse is passed
 These are but few of the special aids provided.

 Meanwhile Boston trimmed De- troit on Rookie Woodrow Rich's three-hit hurling. It was the sec ond game in which he has started this season and also finished. The other hurlers of Boston, Eldon Aux CT, Jim Bagby, Jr., and Moses Grove have also been doing excellent work on the mound.

BASEBALL HAD MANY R0WDIES
 IN EARLY DAYS
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Sports Writer

NEW YORK, May 6.-Now that baseball is celebrating it's centennial is seems timely to say that Bill Terry requires his Giants to leave at least a quarter Ctwo-bits) under their plates for the walters.
 This is just enc example Of the progress that baseball has made in 100 years.
 In the old days players didn't have a quarter to leave They gave no quarter and asked no quarter. Now adays many feel they don't have a quarter to leavs, either-without urging
 There are players who, without orders, would park a buffalo nickel under their platters. Some athletes of this type can be found under all phabetical headings A to Y. tThere are no ball players whose names be- gin with 9.
 MT Terry has never been famed for his own open handedness. The back of my hand to youse has often been his attitude. However, know ing the tendency among players, Terry has, reportedly, instructed his N Y. "Jints" as to the minimum tipping requirements.
 My players shall be first in gener- csity. if not first in the National League" Terry declares.
 MT Terry rather takes after MT McGraw, his tutor. John McGraw was the Giants brain trust The Little Napoleon told his players: I'll do the thinking for this club. You play" MT. Terry likes to do the thinking for the Giants. Even down to the tips.
 Many players are generous. Paul Derrinser. the big Cincinnati pitch CT, once gave me two fancy cigars. Toe rich for his blood, he said Now anyone who gives me fancy cigars is a nice guy. If that sounds like a hint. why just make the most of it.
 Another forward step: Formerly players were rowdy and were not wanted in the better hostelrics. They destroyed bedsteads and washstands and had quaint habits of tipping buckets of water over transoms on- oo the heads of unsuspecting vic- Imis, never thinking that said water would damage furnishings and drip down onto the next floor, where MT Scruggs was combing his wig.
 Nowadays nothing like that ever happens, except in Pittsburgh, when MT Van Lingle Mungo gets very sore indeed and urgently taps
