There's an old saying in show
business: always be kind to the
property boy. He may be the boss
tomorrow"
Edward Arnold, Gary Cooper,
Barbara Stanwyck and James Glea-
SON were reminiscing on Frank
Capra's "Meet John Doe" set at
Warmers. Gleason told of starring
30 years ago in his fathers COM
pany at the old Morosco and Bur-
bank theaters. Then Capra joined
the group, and reminded them that
among the players in that company
were Marjorie Rambeau, Lewis
Stone and others still prominent.
''Did you ever see them?" asked
Gleason, in surprise.
81 should say I did, laughed
Capra. 81 saw them every night.
I used to sell newspapers to them.'
The special effects department at
Paramount could have been forgiv-
en- for going stark, staring mad re-
Gently when an order came in for
flock Of sheep that ''look like Jack
Benny" The sheep were needed
for dream sequence in Love Thy
Neighbour" in which Fred Allen,
Benny's mortal enemy, puts him
self to sleep by counting sheep.
Allen insisted that finding the
sheep should be easy. ''All sheep
look like Benny" he insisted,
Benny looks like sheep anyway"
For once the cast of a motion pic
ture seems to be taking the title
seriously. The title is ''This Thing
Called Love-" and it's influencing
Rosalind Russell, Binnie Barnes and
Gloria Dickson.
Three days after the picture had
gone into production Miss Barnes
announced her plan to marry Mike
FrankOvitch, radio commentator.
RumOrs circulated to the effect that
Miss Dickson and her husband,
Perc Westmore, would become rec
onciled. Nobody knows yet what
will happen to Miss Russell, but just
before the picture was begun she
caught the bridal bouquet at her
sisters wedding, and the day pre-
ceding that fortune teller predict
ed that she'd be married within a
year.

RIFLE BALL PARTS
2 DEER LOCKED BY
HORNS IN FIGHTING.

A well-aimed rifle bullet, fired by one
of the four thrilled ringside spectators,
separated two buck deer which had
been fighting more than two hours with
their horns locked, according to re-
port to the game and fish division of
the Minnesota department of conserva-

The fight occurred on the Lloyl An

they had become entangled so they
could not come apart. They called

dried-up slough.
BY this time the younger buck, q

Doctors Explain Three
Tunes of Rheumatic Pains.

Rheumatism takes many forms; it
may make life miserable for Junior,
for his Mother or his Grandad. In each
case it is different but all need care
full watching and treatment. Other
wise it may cripple them all for life.
The three kinds of rheumatism that
afflict this imaginary but not improb-
able family are explained briefly in the
| third bulletin issued by the Minnesota
State Medical associations committee
on public health education as part of
the associations March education cam
paign on rheumatic fever and arthritis
issued today.
Juniors aches and pains are caused
by rheumatic fever which attacks
youngsters, chiefly. He should be put
to bed and his heart watched carefully
because rheumatic fever nearly always
damages the heart.
Juniors mother probably lays her
aches and pains to "lumbago" OF neur-
algia or just grippe; but actually she is
in the early stages of the type of
arthritis called, "atrophic" in which
the bones seem to get thinner, after a
while, and the joints become painful
and immovable. Grandad's rheumatic
is arthritis, too, but of the type called
"hypertrophic" in which the bones, in
stead of becoming thinner, become
knotted and enlarged by additional
bony growth at the joints. His hands
are misshapen and his joints painful.
Juniors illness probably started with
some type of respiratory infection in
which the streptococcus germ played a
part, also cold wet weather and per-
haps an inherited pre-disposition. At
ropic arthritis which afflictS his mother
is an adult disease but often begins be-
fore 40. 1t happens more often in
women than in men and is more often
the result of some focal infection in
teeth, tonsils, genitro-urinary tract or
intestines, coupled with fatigue and a
generally under-par condition. Hyper
trophic arthritiS usually develops after
middle age and more often as a result
of injury to already aging bones and
joints. All can be helped greatly by
prompt treatment.

brush off the state law of 1925 which
says unmarried children OF needy
parents must contribute $25 monthly TO
the care of their parents.
The only exception, according to A.

board, is in the case where the child
is unable to contribute or who can
show cause why he is not sharing the
cost of caring for his needy parents.
All cases will be thoroughly investi-

Milan Standard: Don't let us get too
sentimental about the troubles Of the
young people of today. 1t was difficult
enough to find a job when this writer
was a young man. To get job then
was to step into shop or store and
work for little or nothing in the way
of wages until one had learned enough
to become sufficiently useful so that the
boss could afford to pay real wages. 1t
was often hard work and rather dis
couraging, but it helped to build char
acter and to put iron into the soul of
the young person, something that
helped to overcome difficulties in later
years. The young person who has
everything handed to him on a silver
platter, so to speak, is more to be pitied
than the one who has had some diff
cultieS to overcome. The chances are
that the latter will succeed while the
former will fail.

sturdy members of the clan as far
north as Glacier National Park in
Northern Montana But in Colo
RADIO, Eastern Utah, North Central
Arizona and Eastern New Mexico,
we find great numbers of them.
The forest-grown trees are the
victims of several insect and fungus
foes. The spruce gall aphis and
red spider are eager to find a blue
spruce host. The spruce sawfly
from Europe is foliage destroyer,
and fire is the most destructive of
all the enemies of our lovely spruce.
In the early spring. each blue
spruce tree may bear female and
male flowers near the tips, of the
twigs grown the year before. The
pistillate flowers, usually found
standing erect on the ends of the
branches, are waiting to catch the
pollen busted over them by the
wind from the dropping pollen-laden
male flowers to be found all over
the tree These blossoms are yellow,
tinged with red, and female flowers
are green to purple, with broad,
oblong scales which aid in catching
the golden grains. When the female
flowers have been powdered by the
drifting pollen they turn toward the
ground, and here you will find in
the autumn beautiful, glossy, light
brown cones from 2 to inches long.
Under each thin cone scale will be
two small, dark brown seeds, each
equipped with pale yelloW-brown
wing upon which to sail the air
ways.
The foliage consists of stiff, sharp
pointed, four-angled, single needles
from 1s-inch to an inch and
quarter in length. They may be a
blue green to silvery white of dull
green, depending upon the age OF
the tree and the location OF the
