HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 30. Things
have been going pretty smoothly III
the law enforcement business along
Cover street. and in % years as
chief of police on the RkO lot,
Edward j. Donnelly hasn't even
made an arrest.
But that's a tribute to the 75-
year-old chief and not an admis-
sion that excitement has been
lacking. Studio cops have a much
buiser life than city police because
they deal with temperamental peo-
pie and constantly must guard cele-
brities against racketeers and pests.
Donnely knows all the tricks
and all the answers. He says that
nobody - not one, single gate
crasher ever has walked past
him. There was one who entered
by slowing away in a huge hamper
of laundry, but that was the laun-
dryman's small son. g..
About the maddest he ever got,
he reckons. was the time One
Eyed Connolly showed up at the
gate with a willy story, was turned
away, and then telephoned an RKO
executive and got an official pass.

reports that their dressing rooms

taken, so far. He told about one
screen queen who got into a dither
over a missing Spanish shawl, quite
valuable. Donnelly went back to his
office and telephoned a couple of
the stars fayorite night clubs. Yes,
said one of them, Miss So-and-so
had left the shawl there early that
morning.

REBUILDING MORALE
christian Science Monitor)


Archibald MacLeish's indictment of
writer's whom he calls "The lrresponsl-
bles" seem to be having a salutary effect.
In building up Il hatred of all war, he
said, these writer's had also built up
moral unpreparedness' in the younger
generations they had infused it with a
cynicism and distrust, and sapped Its
courage. Some of these authors minlmlZ-
ed the effect of their books, some OF
them stood on the defensive and struck
back.
Others, notably Robert Sherwood and
Maxwell Anderson, went manfully to
work, as Mr. MacLeiSh is doing, to COM
bat defeatism with faith and common
sense and the courage of their convictions.
The same thing has happened in Brit
ain And now many voices are raised TO
hearten and inspire. Sir Hugh Walpole
declares his belief that, calamitOus as it
is. the war will help save Britain from
selfishness, greed, snobbery, and sloth.
Leslie Howard combats Nazi propaganda
on the air weekly, and J. B. Priestley has
contributed to the Britain Speaks" pro-
gram.
Robert Lynd in a recent magazine ar
ticle paid tribute TO Mr.. Priestley for the
pdIl 1lc Wdo playing III WIN
minds and hearts of men and women as
to the purposes of the war and communi-
eating to them his confidence and cour-
age 4. in proclaiming not only his Wis
sion of victory, but his vision of the world
as it ought to be after victory has been
won."
Mr.. Priestley's visions may be created
in part by his imagination, but they are
not illusions, for he looks on the world
with a realst's eye Yet he retains his
courage and confidence. In thinking of
men who, like him, preserve and keep
bright the hope of the world, we like
to remember the words of Plautus:
Courage is the best gift of all; cour-
age stands before everything. 1t is what
preserves our liberty, safety, life and our
homes and parents, our country and chill
dren. Courage comprises all things"

In some querulous quarters there
is a tendency to say that newSpa-
pers in the United States no longer
fill their ancient function of rem
dering public service to their city,
state and the nation as a whole.
1t is one of those things that are
easily REPUTABLE.
Let's take the case of the state
of Louisiana. For II long years
and they were mainly also Long
years-the state was dominated by
a machine that seemed impreg-
nable. It controlled the courts, the
police powers. the election machin-
cry, the treasury, and the schools
and universities.
Even after Huey Longs assassin
alton. the machine continued to
function.
Then it was that a number Of
courageous papers which had been
fighting Long took up the battle
with even more vigor. They want
ed TO lift the state from its thrall-
dom. They wanted to oust the
grafters. They wanted to restore
the state 10 us people.
They succeeded in abundant mea-
sure. The Long machine was brok-
en-. Many of its leaders went TO
prison. Wonders have been brought
about in six short months.
State job-holders no longer have
10 give up part Of their pay to a
machine. The state payrolls now
show fewer than 5000 employees, in
stead of double that number.
Today there are 20 state agen-
cies instead CT l76, as under the
old regime.
More money is being spent on
schools andf for the relief of the
poor, the afflicted and the helpless.
The courts have been reformed.
Supplies for the state are being
procured at honest market prices.
But the battle has not been en-
tirely won. 1t takes time There

of Investigations by outside au-
thorities. Studio police have 1ull
rights in preserving order and
making arrests ON the lots, but from
there all cases go to regular agen-
cies of the law.
An ordinary city cop would have
a tough time ON studio duty. He'd
probably turn in a riot call the
first time he heard the commotion
of a story conference; or with
drawn gun he might charge into
the sound lab only to find techni-
clans clubbing the soundtrack OF
a woman shrieking for help. And
he'd certainly infuriate many a
bigwig and famous character by
holding em at the gate for iden-
tification.
Chief Donnelly says that so far
as he knows there's no truth to
any of the stories, favorites of
press agents, about gatemen who
fail to recognize stars. He knows
all of them, and has ever since
Pauline Frederick and Ethel Clay

OF 23 MEN
The stocky, White-haired, keen
eyed Donnelly was a prospector
and quartz miner until he was So
Had a wife and home in Los Angeles
and finally, at her insistence, tried
to find job in town. Hired for a
few days to guard some jewels be-
ing used in a picture, he was in
vited to join the police force. And
since the other three cops were
not considered entirely reliable in
the matter of sobriety, Donnelly
was made chief right at the start
There are % men on his force to-
day.
On four successive evenings
several years ago, the chief nabbed
and ousted man who would climb
over the wall and stroll the studio
streets. This is my homer the
fellow would protest. Il live here.
So finally Donnelly got tired of il
and called city police. The man
was identified as an escaped. harm
less lunatic, and it turned out he
thought the studio was the asylum
and was trying to get back into it
But he wasn't the only one,
chuckled the chief, "who believes q
movie studio is a crazy house"

of dentistry meet on the campus
for their second annual pOstcOl-

During the period of 1825-30, DR.
John Harris, a physician at Balm
bridge, gathered around himself, as
preceptor, a group of young men to
whom he taught the principles OF
dentistry. One of these, Chaplin A
Harris, went to Baltimore and to-
gether with Horace Hayden founded
in 1910 the Baltimore college OF
dental surgery, first dental school in
the world Another of the Balm
bridge students, James Taylor, in
1876 founded the second dental
school, the Ohio college Of dental
surgery in Cincinnati. A replica OF
the old cambridge building in which
DIR. Harris had his office will be on
display at the Ohio state meeting.

Lesson NMMy1 n =!

Hosea Tells of Gods Forgiving
Love, Hosea Gilt; 14:4-9, for Sun
day, April IA:
The prophecy of Hosea falls into
two parts; the first part consists OF
the first three chapters in which is
illustrated the prophets unhappy
domestic life. Israel is represented
as the adulterous wife of Jehovah; !;
the remaining chapters form the
second part and present the gross
iniquity of Israel for which they
will be taken into captivity. The
tender entreaties of the prophet
are as fearful as his denunciations
are fearful.
V. i. "Come and 1et us return
unto the Lord; for he hath torn and
he will heal us; he hath smitten
and he will bind us up" In the
two preceding verses God is plctur-
ed as a lion attacking Israel, and
then withdrawing himself till his
judgments cause the people to ac-
knowledge their sin and seek his
face. In his optimism Hosea imag-
ines Israel willing to return to God.
v. 2. "After two days will he re-
viye us; in the third day he will
sight" Hosea's appeal is SO strong
that he feels assured in a very short
time Israel will return to God and
be in his favor living in his slght
and as his children.
V. 8. "Then shall We know, if we
follow on to know the Lord; his go
ing forth is prepared as the morn
ing. and he shall come unto us as
the rain, as the latter and former
rain of the earth" There is time
coming when Israel in the midst of
affliction while in captivity will
turn to the Lord sincerely and
intellectually and then God will
return to them and his salvation
which he will bring to them will ap-
pear to them as the morning dawn
and the spring and summer rain.
v. 4. 80 Ephraim, what shall
do unto thee? o judah, what shall
I do unto thee? For your goodness
is as a morning cloud, and as the
early dew it goeth away" The
Lord is now speaking in exaspera-
ton because the goodness of the
people is as fleeting as the morn
ing cloud or dew.
v. 5. Therefore have I hewed
them by the prophets; l have slain
them by the words of my mouth;
and the judgments are as the light
that goeth forth" God caused the
prophets to predict disasters and
Gods judgments were made clear.
v. 6. '.For I desired mercy and
not sacrifice; and the knowledge OF
God more than burnt offerings
Genuine piety and loyalty which
onr;ruo from the heart is what God
wants rather than ritualistic OBJ
