(af-Foof Fog
 Costs Money
Is Hundred Thousand Dol lar Annual Nuisance
 10 Bridge

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal Feb. B. The fog that comes on cat feet and sits looking over San Fran cisco is a $1O0,0O0 nuisance to the greatest suspension bridge in the world
 Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge district were obliged to ex- pend more in the past year on re- painting the vast structure than for any other item of maintenance, they noted in the second annual report of bride operation.
 The sea mists, heavily laden with salt, which swirl int othe Bay area almost every day, have proved more severe at the Golden Gate than at any other point in San Francisco.
 Directors would not be so con- cerned if the fog behaved as Carl Sandburg said in his poem looking over the harbor and city on silent launches and then moves on.'
 The fog attacks the paint linn, biting into rivet heads and surfac- es. It requires thorough cleaning and a hot application of coal tar paint. It takes $204, 900 worth of paint, more than 5000 worth of brushes and tools and the stagger- ing labor cost of $86,500 to handle i the damage wrought by "cat-feet' { fog in one year
 The directors find they have un- derestimated the severity of expos ure and the importance of special treatment of steel surfaces prior to erection.
 Sandblasting or flame cleaning is now the accepted means of pre- pairing steel in advance to inroads of fog. But the giant structure had no such precautionary treatment.

LITTLE STAR INTERVIEWED;
 NICELY DONE
Talks with Reporters, Pos. es for Photographers
 -Demures Once
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb 23-There are some things at which even modern young Ann Rutledge must demure, and to pretty Mary Howard such a moment came at 4.45 D. m. one afternoon while her mother poured tea for reporters and photographers in their suite at the Sherry Meth erland.
 All afternoon this wide-eyed Ok lahoma girl who plays Ann Rut- ledge in Abe Lincoln in Illinois had swapped tidbits with the in- quiring reporters Dutifully she had posed in a dozen ways for the re- lentless cameramen-spea into telephone, unpacking her trunk ccmbing her chestnut hair at hel mirror. She was a willing and g striking subject in her sky blue bas- ket- weave wool housecoat with golo beaded sprays at the shoulders ano the waist. She had little quilted skyblue slippers to match.
 She was about to say "Havent you run out of flashlight bulbs yet?' when he said.
 Nov sit in this chair and pull your skirts up above the knees"
 Mary Howard is a dancer and ar actress and she doesn't mind show ing her knees when there is a req sonable excuse. But she was think ing fast. This is a long, high-at- the-throat housecoat It isn't the sort of thing that goes well with leg art. Unless a leg picture is made at just the right angle it is ap1 to look funny
 So she hesitated just a moment locking at the photographer, ano he. seeing this hesitation and misin- terpreting it, was unaccountably confused for a moment. Isn't il all right?' he asked.
 Tt isn't that said Mary How. ard. T was just wondering wha Abe Lincoln would think of Am Rutledge if he knew she went in fol leg art"
 Well, that made everything brett, swell. She sat in the chair and h. got his picture, and then Mary How ard, who is frequently mistaken fo will Rogers daughter. was tellinj about the fun they had in Tennes see when the Lincoln picture hat it's premiere there, and about tn l fun they had in Washington wher she met FDR and also policeman named Robert E. Lee, and abou coming to New York and just miss l ing the fun at Fefe's Monte Carl where Elaine ("All I want is 2

hours of bliss, Honey'D Barrie kid- naped John Barrymore who had just opened on Broadway in My Dear Children"

She told about going to dance at the Waldorf and seeing Hal Le- Roy the dancer, for the first time in years. She was so glad to see him that before she realized it was running toward him saying, Hal look, don't you remember mel" Then she was suddenly embarrassed, be- cause everybody had stopped to look at her, and she wasn't sure LeRoy would remember her But that last ed only a second because Hal LeRoy grabbed her and said, Why, honey, how could forget you. You were my first girl
 The world is tasty juicy, pine apple when you are on the way up, and Mary Howard is learning this now She was in the Follies at 15, and she danced little, and she went to Hollywood where after a Hong time she was given a few parts in a few scattered pictures. But now, well, take a look at her dancing eyes. AS you know, your eyes never dance unless your heart is dancing too.

 And Romance .At(apitoI
Laurence Olivier Is Tea. tured in Clouds
 Over Europe"

There are Clouds Over Europe" and there is a man with an um- 1 brella And the combination, as demonstrated on the Capitol Theater screen tonight, makes for one of the most enjoyable spy dra- mas in recent months. Columbia's S Clouds Over Europe" is thrill packed, laugh-filled story of Scot land Yard, of planes mysteriously disappearing while in flight, of a daring test pilot who risks his life to learn the answer to questions which baffle a nation
 Laurence Olivier, sensational star of "Wuthering Heights" and Fire Over England appears to brilliant advantage as the test pilot A force full, carefree personality, MT. Oli- vier brings to his characterization all the talent and skill which has won him international acclaim.
 As the man with the umbrella who really is the man from Scot land Yard, Ralph Richardson pro- vides the screen with a distinctly different type of sleuth The un- forgettable doctor of The Cita- del'' Richardson here is seen as an umbrella-losing detective who looks and acts like human being, who regards his butler with both awe and contempt, who is absent minded and epicurean and com pletely unlucky in matters roman tic. The sly bits of humor which characterize his performance make of Clouds Over Europe" film delightful to behold.
 In the major romantic role, love ly Valerie Hobson offers thor oughly enjoyable portrait of young newspaperwoman. As the sis ter of the sleuth and the delight fully annoying sweetheart of the pilot, Miss Hobson brings to the screen pertly refreshing new per sonality.

 A new and novel type of desk for school children has been de- signed and built in the last two years by Jimmy Walton, eighth grade student at the U. S. Public School.
 The desk differs from the tra- ditional school desk in that it is flat and has a lid on the top which opens away from the stu dent using it.
 Nearly dozen of the desks have been made and placed in one of the rooms for smaller students Each desk is sturdily made and has plenty of room inside for books, papers and pencils.
 According to R. L. Wolfe, super intendent of the school, the desk has the advantage of being easily moved about the room to accom- modate the different activities.
 The desks were made by Jimmy in the schools manual training department, under the supervision of Peter Nielsen He is now seek ing a patent for the desk.
