the nice results of the newer rela-

children. The bridegroom generally
selects most of the ushers from his

Enactment of laws dealing with subversive

This week in Washington, a start to form such
laws will be made, and it's effort will be to provide
legal armament to force of 100000 federal, state

impressions and fortnight reflec-

HIS STORY OF HIS LIES
ADVENTURE
nv Richard halliburton

All sons write letters home. But
the way in which Richard Halli-
burton maintained the practive to
the end of his days was absolutely
unique in its regularity. Wherever
he might be, in whatever far cor
ner Of the globe, he thought of his
mother and father and at the first
possible moment gave them news.
Often the letters he wrote were
long and full, and it is astonishing
that he found time to write them.
He must have utilized every spare
moment to dash off with his pen,
in swift, terse. characteristic style,
the headlong words tumbling over
one another. Sometimes they were
begun at the breakfast table and
continued at odd moments during
the day, but most frequently in the
small hours Of the night.
When the anxious days follow
ing his departure from Hongkong
in the Sea Dragon" heightened in
to weeks and months and finally
all hope Of his survival was aban-
doned, his sad parents turned to
reread these letters. Here, they
found. lay a complete record of
his life. His intimate thoughts
were here. Here he had poured
out his heart and his soul.

Wayne is seen as a young naval

story to its dramatic climax.
Crawford as a beached navy man
who worships Miss Dietrich, and
Auer as a magician who prefers

role is Albert Decker as dissolute
young ship's-doctor, who Is reform

Anna Lee, young British star,
