DAVID NIVEN is one of the
IL few men in Hollywood
who grew a mustache by order
of the king of England. He
shaved off the other day by
order of Samuel Goldwyn.
When he first was assigned
to a Guards regiment of His
Majesty's service, young Niv-
en- was officially informed that
all officers must be equipped with
mustaches. Patiently, sometimes
despairingly. he grew one By the
time when he left the army he'd
grown so accustomed to il that it
seemed like part of his face.
But along came his role in
tWuthering Heights, and off came
the mustache.
That same David Niven can laugh
now over little known incident in
his colorful career. but at the time
when it happened it didn't seem
particularly funny.

four years ago, intent on making
his fortune but not knowing just how

Flora Robson, the celebrated Eng
lish actress whom you'll see also in
"Wuthering Heights" didn't have to
work for a laundryman to learn the
value of money, she just knows it by
instinct, and as a result her friends
are suffering no end of embarrass-
ment. Arriving in Hollywood be-
fore the studio knew that she was
there, she went into the first apart
ment house that she saw and took
an apartment-at $50 a month; and
still lives there.
She had to have car, and bought
one, for SIS.
Hollywood is shocked. But Miss
Robson says that she has heard too
many bitter tales of people who do
foolish things there.

gay tour of New York's night clubs

hailed while ago, in print, as the

the impression.

Is This Cooperation

The government, so the story
goes, Is eager to cooperate with the
private electric utility business, in
order to encourage billions of pri-
vate spending for new power plants
and facilities. That makes a good
story. But there seem to be some
serious flaws in it..
For example. one Of the govern
ment'S principal tax-subsidized
hydroelectrjc projects is the Bonnie
vile Dan, on the Columbia River
III Oregon. This dam was built to
serve an area which was already
well served by private electric utili-
ties. charging extremely low rates.
The dam has been completed for
some time-but does not attract
new customers, The people of
Oregon seem satisfied with the serv.
Ice and the rates of the private COM
panles. and don't wait to go to the

get something they already have.

Committee Of Six Reports

The most important third party
contributions yet made toward
solving the railroad problem is
found in the exhaustive, thoroughly
documented report of the commit
tee of six which the President of
the United states appointed to study
the general transportation situation.
1t deserves the widest possible pub
licity.
1t recommends that the govern
ment adopt Il definite national
transportation policy providing for
the fair, impartial regulation Of
each and every mode Of transporta-
ton.
1t recommends revision of the
present rate making rule. and the
substitution OF new, flexible rule
adequate to meet current conditions.
1t recommends complete repeal
of the so, called long and, short haul
clause of the Transportation Act
an outmoded clause. which has been
extremely damaging to the interests
of shippers as well as the railroads.
1t recommends fair and reason
able system of tolls for the COM
mercial use of certain inland water
ways. and the elimination of the
Inland Waterways Corporation-a
unsupported government under
taking which has proven to be an
expensive white elephant.
1t recommends the creation. by
Congress. of a new aud independent
Transportation Board. to be charged
with the duty of investigating and
reporting concerning the relative
economy and fitness of existing
modes of transportation, tine extent
to which any are now subsidized,
and to suggest needed further legis-
lation.
These are the high spots of this
splendid. dispassionate report. And
certainly they show how Congress
can take quick. definite steps in
bringing order out of the transporter
ton chaos. The recommendation

You'll Miss One Answer!

How important is the Great Northern Rail-
way to you?
Your answer probably will have something to do
with your need for railway transportation.
Or-depending upon where you live, and how
much you know about where your school gets its
money-you may realize that it would be impossible,
or at least difficult, to run your school without the
taxes the Great Northern pays.
Another answer you might make would be the
importance of the payrolls and purchases of the
Great Northern.
But the answer you probably have overlooked
altogether, relates to services which match any
of these in importance, and which other
kind of transportation gives you.
Oft is what the Great Northern does to help you
get bigger yields per acre, at less cost. To raise
products that will bring greater returns. To find
markets for what you raise. To help you get

Even The StOrk Has His Plans for N. Y.
 World S Fair

New York-You can bring your Fair without fear of offending any one, least of all the medical staff. For 1t was learned today that the stcyk has his eye fixed on New Yrk'S gala event of the century and plans at least few casual visits there this summer. And Fair officials, mindful of everything, have included this contingency in their plans for caring for the health of the 60,00000O expected visitors.
 Of the 60000,000, at least half will be women, and by all the laws of averages 1t is figured that at least eighteen or twenty babies will be born on the Fair grounds.
 These New York World Fair ba- bies will receive every care from a staff of forty physicians and seven ty nurses who will administer first aid under the direction of Dr. Jo- seph c. Hoguet, director of the Fairs Medical Department.
 Of course, only few of the cases will have anything to do with the stork's designs on the Fair. It is figured that at least 10000 others will require medical attention of one sort or another in the first six months after the April 30 opening But these will be mostly minor cases.
 However, Grover Whalen and other Fair officials are prepared for any emergency and a special K ray truck will be in constant service on the grounds. Equipped with a photographic dark room, the auto mobile will be ready to answer calls from any of the eight first aid sta- tions.
