Madeleine Busy

Madeleine Carroll, who is cur
rently starring in MY Son, My
son!" is one Of Hollywood's busiest
stars as . result Of her determine
ton to do everything In her power
to aid In the relief of civilian war
sufferers in England and France.
At the outbreak Of hostilities
Miss Carroll turned over her
chateua in the South Of France TO,
use of children removed from Paris
and other big French cities. Since
that time she has sponsored nu-
merous benefits in Hollywood and
Los Angeles and has supervised the
sending Of money to Europe fol
relief purposes.
In order to carry on this work
Miss Carroll turned her dressing
suite In the Edward Small Studios
into an office. She installed tele-
phones and had her personal Sec
retary take up duties there. Al
though this were not enough, she
has devoted her time between
takes" knitting sweaters and other
articles which are shipped abroad

Civic Orchestra
Grows in Stature

While any serious endeavor car
iies its own reward, 1t is always a
pleasant duty to say a few words
of encouragement to a group such
as the Washington Civic Orchestra
and its tireless mentor and conduc-
tor, DR.. Kurt Hetzel, who with every
concert, as demonstrated again last
night at the Central High School,
moves a step further toward his
objective to bring the orchestra
to a point when it can eventually
fill definite need In the commune
ty. Thanks to DR.. Hetzel, the group
has long since left the amateur
stage, and in spite Of its personnel
pursuing music as a hobby, there
is already a semi-professional ele-
ment pre-eminent in spirit and ap-
pearance manifested in the choice
and execution Of an exacting pro-
gram.
Flotow's "Stradella" overture, the
opening number, served as bridge
to Beethoven's symphony No. l."
In this confidence and animation
grew with every movement. Diff1-
cult entries were noteworthy for
smoothness, skillfully blended into
an enjoyable whole by DR.. Hetzel.
There was an ever-present pleasing
accuracy in detail work, in every
section of the orchestra, which spoke
well for the earnestness of the musi-
clans and the ideals of the con-
ductor. The good size audience ap-
plauded after each movement of the
symphony, obviously enjoying the
performance.
After the intermission an arrange
ment of Rachmaninoff' prelude
in G Minor" by Roberts, was pre-
sented by the orchestra, followed
by Ippolitow-Ivanow's Caucasian
Sketches" E. de S.

which one aspect Of the ritual was
scratching the back Of q pig. She
could not think of that, but in the
most unactressy way she could dis
cuss pigs like a graduate Of Iowa
State Aggie College.
Journeys end for q still fresh
actress and an enormously weary
rowing reporter, ordinarily Just q
quiet immovable object In an aisle
seat somewhere, was in front OF q
huge fireplace. It Also found Miss
Manchester surveying, and not rue
fully, the remnants of an expensive
pair of stockings. No person to be
baffled by anything so simple rs
that, Miss Manchester removed the
stockings, tossed them into the
flames and that was that!

When she can be induced to talk
professionally, which is when she
is not being diverted by q tree or
swept away by the beauty Of a car
dinal against the snow, Miss Lam
chester sets new high in I. Q.'s
which this department has encoun-
tered among actresses. Her interests
are imitlesS, as might be gathered
from her knowledge of pigs. She
finds America fascinating, seems to
have met virtually every one in it
who is worth meeting.
One of her most soaring antip-
athies is the cliches Of show busi-
ness. She is none too happy in
front of microphones because she
has a horror of saying something
dull and fiat. Qn q dozen appear
ances here, she said nothing dull or
fiat into a single microphone, so
undoubtedly 1t is a worthy fear)
Miss Lanchester's greatest interest
in coming to Washington was to
meet the Presidents family and to
see the White House. She did both,
of course, and was enormously
pleased.
Today she is bound for New York,
thence Hollywood, where she hopes
to make pictures with her husband,
which is the one thing she likes to
do more than anything. Fanny
Kemble" is the particular role she
wants to play at the moment,
although it would mean working
apart from Mr.. Laughton.
If R-K-O is as smart as we hope
it Is, 1t will see that she has the end
Of January off next year in case
another opportunity to star in
Washington should arise.
She really ought to be an insti-
tuition, just like the Birthday Ball
itself.

Waking up this afternoon, Carter

showmen who participated in the

count their work the greatest ever
done at such an event. There were
more stars, in a greater variety, the
program ran more smoothly in spite
of its elaboration, and the amount
of money raised for the infantile
paralysis fund was the greatest ever
raised at a similar event.
But if they should not wake up
until late, that will be all right, too,
for committeeman earn a lot of sleep

Other States
Buying N. g..
State Bonds
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm the Sir Waller Hotel.
BY LYNN NISBEI.

Raleigh, Aug. 3.-For some years
il has been the policy Of State Treas
urer Charles M. Johnson to buy up
North Carolina State bonds as invest
ment for sinking funds and surplus
treasury cash. The State 0i MaSSa-
chusetts sometime ago also began to
buy North Carolina bonds, and lately
the State of New York has recognize
ed the sound investment value Of
our debentureS.
This situation is, of course, pleas
ing to Mr.. JohL--n as it indicates
confidence Of officials Of other states
in the integrity of North Carollna's
financial obligations. On the other
hand, he finds when he goes into the
bond market that he has active COM
petitive bidders for N. {. bonds IN
these other states and he cannot buy
them quite as adVanlageOuSly as he
otherwise might.
The North Carolina state treasurer
cannot tell who holds state bonds,
unless the bonds are registered. Re
gistration is optional, and usually
bonds bought for long time invest
ment are registered. while those in
tended for short time or speculative
trading are not. Briefly, the differ
cnce is that unregistered bearer
bonds are CaShed on presentation II
due, and interest coupons are caShed
upon presentation.
If the bonds are registered, the
state treasurer keeps track OF them
and when they mature cash IS sent
10 the owner of record and the bonds
are cancelled. Both New York and
Massachusetts have their bonds regis
tered, since they are bought for in
vestment rather than for trading.
Treasurer Johnson can show a
substantial profit on his bond mani
pulation. When he can sell al profit
he sells, but in most instances the
money goes right back into other
state bonds.

Growers Make Ready To Sow
Austrian Winter Peas.

Austrian winter peas will play a
major role in protecting farm land
against the raVagcs Of soil erosion
during the cold bleak months. Al
ready growers have ordered more
than 100000 pounds Of Austrian
pea seed through the AAA& grant
Or-aid program for spreading Il green
blanket over their unprotected lands

have ordered more than CJ,IJO

The seed should be planted be-
tween September l and October 10,
the earlier the better. c. lrnd where
they have never been grown before,
the seed should be broadcast at the
rate of 80 to 40 pounds to the acre.

The only pessimistc feature Of the

banks increased Just a little bit las

indicates that Americans are tn!nk-
ing more and more in terms OF safety

the fact that total assets Of all NIL

Lest these tremendous figures

ports OF considerable SOuthefn Sfum-
bling over the Roosevelt Wallace
ticket. It also is we'll known that Kr-
publican Chairman Joseph Martin Is
going to make d hard fight through
out Dixie for Willkie and McNary
In the past. the Republicans, like the
Democrats. have paid little attention
to that part of the country: not be-
cause they didn't wish they could win
it over. but because they didn't be-
lieve they could possibly do so.
Southern Republicans votes have
been priced at G.. O. p. conventions
inaSmuch as they were useful IN
swinging nominations, but 1t wasn't
considered that there were enough
of them to be worth trying for in
November.
This time. though, with Chairman
Martin as RepubliCanly hopeful as
he evidently is. and with their own
local observers in the southland hint
ing at Il certain amount OF uneaSlneSS,
New Deal strategists are tending to
the view that southern voters need
some intensive cultivation.
Southern craftsmanship, as diStln-
guished from the rank-and-flle OF the
electorate. isn't expected, even by
the WillkieiteS. to do much Out-and-
out boiling from the Democratic
nominees.
It's largely disgruntled, but it can't
abandon the Democratic party IN Ia
vor of any other party that suits l,
any better.
Apparently. like Senator Cotton
Ed Smith, it simply will resort TO
passive resistance" sitdoWn strike.
It will stay on the premises but it
won't do lick for the Democratic
ticket. That is to say, to 4 consider
able extent it won't.
New Deal leaders recognize that
such a situation requires some coun-
teracting.
Just how they'll go about it isn't
quite apparent yet.
For one thing. their national COM
mjttee is scarcely functonlng, with
Chairman Farley just quitting. Ihey
dn,,btleSS trust in providence, too,
that the southern atmosphere pre-
sently will improve, from their
standpoint. ILL.,. All.
Yet they generally agree that TINS
isn't a wear in which the south can
safely be neglected. ~
chairman Martin isn't giving them
long TO think about it. either.
Republican Claims.

much. as to Dixie. .,,
