 It is indeed true that every local theatergoer has been waiting for the three girls" to play these roles. There is no greater proof of this than the gay crowds which have continually thronged the State ever since the opening on Friday.
 The cast is practically the same as Deanna's first success, 'Three Smart Girls" with the exception of a few new additions. Nan Grey and Helen Parrish, a new addition, por- tray the other two girls, while Charles Winninger is again seen as Deanna's father. William Lundigan and Robert Cummings also new ad- ditions provide the romantic inter- est. Of course, one of the highlights of the film is Deanna's singing. She sings four songs you've always wanted to hear her sing, one of them a classic.
 The second big hit presents Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Sullivan and Ralph Bellamy in "Let Us Live" a soul-stirring drama which you'll en- joy from start to finish.

Current Comments Written From
 Washington

Recalling a sentence from Mark Twain, Time passes, as Time will do: and the. days slip by, the hour approaches when the Democrats will have to pick the man who, if their hopes and aspirations come true, will ride through cheering crowds, at the next inaugural, to the capitol, and thence back to the White House, with the uneasy head that wears the crown.
 During the Hoover Roosevelt campagn, a straw vote authority, whose predictions never had miss cd fire, picked MT. Hoover to win. The vote count showed that there are occasions when it is not for us to know the times and the seasons in advance. Prophecy, however, has by no means gone into the general discard. The Hoover-Roosevelt prophet simp- ly did not fortify himself with the right kind of material. The faith of the general public in the straw vote remains unshaken, and so it comes about that con- siderable weight is given to the popularity which that method of probing into the future has all lotted to MT. Garner.
 By the same token, MT. Farley is a man to be considered, the genial Postmaster-General fol- lowing Texas Jack, as a hot-run- ming second. Headed for the fair in San Francisco, MT. Farley is giving his fellow-citizens a good opportunity to have look at him which in itself is a help. Fifteen speeches will be spread over a dozen states, and there will be postmaSter'S conventions to at- tend. MT. Farley seldom shows himself to disadvantage, and the swing around the circle may put James in forefront to a degree that will cause many another willing Barkis to sit up and take notice.

Damages For Wrangell Man

OLYMPIA-An $1l ,000 verdict in favor of William D. Sinclair, Wrangell resident, against Dr. Hale Haven and his partners of Virginia Mason Hospital was af- firmed last week by the state supreme court.
 The action was to recover dam ages for malpractice of the de- fendant physicians and surgeons. The other defendants are Drs. J. M. Blackford, J. T. Bowling, George A. Bowling, Lester J. Palmer, M. F. Dwyer, P. A Hohr CT and M. C. Lille
 Sinclair's complaint said after extraction of a tooth in the fall of 1886 he suffered pain, the sole cause being an infection result ing from tooth extraction. He came to Seattle, he said. and was informed by pr. Haven he was suffering from trigeminal neoral- gia, "a disease wholly incurable without severance of the trigem inal nerve" An operation was performed on February IT, 1887.
 Alleging negligence and care lessness, Sinclair contended the severance of the nerve was un- necessary and resulted in paraly sis of one side of his face.

Ham Drivers

We Americans usually take pride in our skill and familiarity with our automo- piles. But, nevertheless, J. Stannard Baker, traffic safety consultant for the National Safety Council, thinks most ot us are "hams" at the wheel. We never really learn the principles of driving a car, he says. We just pick it up "by ear," from what we note others doing.
 The result: drivers who fail to get into the proper lane before turning, drivers who straddle lanes and pay no attention to the rights of others, drivers who zoom out of parking position at the curb with out looking to see who is coming up be- hind, drivers who gabble with others in the car, fail to watch the road, and fail to signal with any decisveness, drivers who disregard the first and simplest prln- ciples of operating an automobile.
 Have you been driving car for 20 years, and do you think you know all about it? Maybe you're ham driver, at that. Even long-eXperienced drivers would do well to check themselves once in while for disregard of the basic prin- ciples that must be observed if the streets and roads are to be safe.
