tnoSe DUCKS over there, says Dl-
rector Ludwig mournfully. 1.-THE
other day, I had a touching closeup
of reconciliation between Miss Best
and Mr.. Mitchell. A couple of ducks
that were supposed to be part of the
background, took a fancy to Miss
Best's hair and tried to sit on it all
during the sequence"
But it is the cute little baby girl
the youngest of the Robinsons, who
will finally send Mr.. Ludwig over the
border line of sanity-if what I saw
on the set today is any criterion
The girl, 2-year -old Bobby Quillan
is another of those male imperson-
atorS, and, like Sandy, will come to
you dressed as a boy. Right now
she is in an undressed state-except
for minute white trunks Ito pre-
serve the decencies). Bobby is to
be given a bath by the movie mother,
Edna Best.
But Bobby has to be convinced
that (a) she needs bath, and
CO. that Miss Best is her mother.
She hangs back in her (reaD faith
er's arms, screaming-sShe's not
my mummy" To quiet her, director
Ludwig says, "Ooh-look at the
pretty pigeons" Bobby stops yell

Ludwig rushes to oblige her. mo"
says Bobby, decisively, II want the

sitting high up on tree. This is

Guilty. But no, it's the wrong one.
Il want that pigeon" says Bobby,
pointing a tiny finger at a bird at
the far end of the jungle. There
are 90 pigeons on the set, and
Bobby discards two-thirds of them
before she abruptly forgets her
desire for pigeon.
But now comes the hard part
getting Bobby into the tub. You
can lead baby to the bath, but
you can't make her sit in it. Bobby
doesn't cry any more. In fact, she
looks bored with the whole proceed
ing. But, firmly and finally, she
refuses to sit in the tub. Edna Best,
who has a daughter of her own,
suggests Give her a bright colored
SHE'LL" Bobby accepts the shell and
hurls it at the cameraman, missing
him by a hair.
An hour passes Bobby gets
tired and sits down in the tub.
"Ooh, look at the pretty water"
says director Ludwig with forced
gaiety, at the same time muttering
desperately-"Get ready to shoot" !"
The camera turns Bobby looks
at the pretty water. Has sudden
generous impulse, and hurls herself,
the tub-and the water-at every
one within range. This includes the
cameraman, the director-and your

Sears Sales Reach
An-Time Peak
For This Season
First-Quorter Profit
Double Year Ago,
Wood Reports
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 24.-Sales of
the big mail order house of Sears.
Roebuck e. Co. are the largest for
this season in the history of the
company. stockholders were inform
ed today by Gen. Robert E. Wood,
chairman, in the annual meeting.
In the first quarter. Wood said,
the company's profit was about
double that of the comparable period
last year.
He suggested, however, dividend
payments may not be as liberal as
in 1886 and 1887 because of the
changes in the Federal tax on un-
distributed profits. which penalHed
profits withheld for reserves while
the old levy was in effect Continue
ton OF the recent improvement in
earnings, he said, supposedly would
permit larger payments to share
holders, even though a smaller pro-
portion of earnings were paid out.
Otis Elevator Co.
Jesse H. Van Alstyne, president
OF the Otis Elevator Co., expressed
the belief in remarks to stockhold-
ers at the annual meeting that the
company In the next six months
would do substantially better than
in the comparable period last year.
He said its gross business in the
first three months increased 10 per
cent over the 1893 period, with net
earnings higher also.
Allied Chemical.
Allied Chemical & Dye Corp. S
sales in the first three months ran
about Is per cent ahead of the same
period last year, H. F. Atherton,
president, said at the annual share
holders meeting. Earnings, he add
ed, exceeded the dividend require
ments of $3.50 share on the COM
mon stock for the quarter.
No material change in sales has
been apparent so far in April, Ather-
ton observed.

British Cotton Depressed
By u. 5. Subsidy Plan
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 24-British cot
ton markets were unsettled today
following news the Bankhead export
subsidy plan had been approved by
President Roosevelt.
(The plan calls for a bounty OF
about 2 cents pound on both raw
cotton and manufactured cotton
goods sold abroad)
The nominal spot price for i'm
mediate delivery of middling Amer
lean cotton was about cents a
pound. Futures and Egyptian grades
were unsteady.
In Liverpool, cotton futures fell
nearly = cent pound
Cotton available outside the
United States has been cheaper for
spinners up to now, but the sibsidiz-
ing of new crop cotton by the
American Government apparently
would put the United States in posi-
ton to compete for the British
market, trade sources said.
Some suggested there may be a
movement to use up present stocks
in anticipation of lower priced
American staple later on.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, April 24-The stock
market looked trifle better today,
but that was about all that could
be said for it,
Buying, fairly lively at the start,
tapered off appreciably later and
gains, running to point or so,
were reduced or Cancelled in many
cases near the fourth hour.
Early improvement was attributed
partly to further lessening of ten
sion over the European war menace.
Announcement the British Ambas-
sador to Berlin, recalled to London
TO report after the Nazi Czecho-
SloVaklan coup, had returned to his
post, inspired the thought another
major crisis was hardly imminent.
At the same time traders gener.
ally remained skeptical and few ex.
hlblted any great urge to take on
heaVy commitments in view of the
scheduled speech of Hitler before
the Reichstag Friday in which he
was expected TO answer President
RooseVelt's peace appeal.

the large Christmas tree that has

the Garnet street approaches to the
underpass. Last year the city erected
the tree and strung the lights, but the
merchants group who sponsored the
decorations then and again this year,
financed the placing of the tree, fur
nished the lights and paid for the
current. It was understood today that
the merchants are ready to furnish
the lights and pay for the current if
the city will cooperate to the extent
Of getting the tree and erecting it and
placing the lights.
