Famous Sayings

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 27--Behind
the screen: A horse that Katharine
Hepburn rides in philadelphia
Story belongs TO Elizabeth Whitney,
It's an old and exasperating eX-
perience for the wealthy socialite,
who has been trying for two years
to crash the movies. First screen
test she ever made was with her
horse, and although she didn't get
an offer, the nag did 1t has worked
in several pictures since.
For while Mrs Whitney and
Republic discussed deal for both
her and the horse to play in Gene.
Autry westerns. But that fell
through, and now she's planning to
finance play in which she'll have
the leading role-on foot.
Greta Garbo and the carrot juice
salesman, Benjamin Gaylord Haus-
er. are pals again. Lately they've
been taking long walks along the
beaches, the actress swinging along
in slacks. but barefoot. 3. AT an
amusement pier. almost deserted at
that hour, camera-shy Miss Garbo
sat in one of those machines which
automatically photograph a custo-
mer and made faces at the lens.
She hasn't made a face at a
news photographer in some time.
The boys are ignoring her at plays
and concerts.

a woman who won an automobile
went to the boxoffice to get her
money back.

There is no reason why the United
States should allow itself to be
used as a catch-all for alleged diplo-
mats from any nation whose activ-
tiles, cloaked in diplomatic immun-
ity, have been found Objectionable

sense in the American countries re-

AN ORCHID
FOR CALIFORNIA
{ Riverside Press)

(hNefSlQe 1TeSS)
If there seems to be a brighter glow
in the California skies Just mark it down
as one more proof that the golden state
is really putting ON polish. While other
lands are wasting their substance in
blitzkrieg bombings, California has won
its own personal blitZkrieg against de-
preston.
The honors of that battle have given
California its best year since 1929 and
that proof of the pudding may be found
in a recent Department of Commerce
report. Here's what it says:
"Californias 1910 income may top
every other year in its history. Califor-
MIA, though sixth in size, ranks third in
income among the states More urban
families in California have incomes of
$1,000 or over than in any other statei''
And as the Progress Review points out
these facts once again demonstrate the
essential rightness of the California
economic picture That picture may have
shading that ought to be changed, but
the highlights remain clear. We have
refused to put check reins on economic
progress. We have encouraged develop
ment of modern methods of production
and distribution. We have learned faster
ways of moving the products of field
and factory, from warehouse to home
through multiple unit sales outlets We
have blocked minority-inspired efforts
to destroy the methods that make lower
prices possible.
California is blessed with climate,
geographical position and basic indus
trial merits. Yet these advantages in
themselves would not have produced the
steady growth of the past ten years. That
growth is measure of the economic
awareness of California's six million
citizens, an awareness that has both a
dollar and cents return and a permanent
reward in the states continued progress
toward prosperity

DRIFT BACK

From all that's written about the

Oklahoma had been practically de-

there is good reason to believe that

people as compared with 1890. It's

Reason probably is that dust

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
UndipIomatie Diplomats

There is no use being stupid
about it.
We know. from recent facts spread
in large letters on the record. that
diplomatic and consular represent
atives of many countries have been
engaging in activities quite outside
what has always been considered
their regular duty. Europe craWls
with examples of such activities
So does South America.
There is only one thing to do
about it. That is to see to it that
every person in America under dip
lomatic immunity DOES confine
himself to activities recognized as
legitimate. To allow any country
TO get away with anything more
than that is stupid and dangerous
Our own precedents are old ane
distinguished When the reyolu-
tionary government of France sent
Citizen Genet to this country as
its representative. Genet stepped i'm
mediately outside any reasonable
Interpretation of his duties. He ap-
pealed directly TO the people to
support France. He commissioned
privateers TO prey on British ship
ping. He organized pro French
leagues. In short. he tried to in
fluence the foreign policy of the
United States.
This is no part of the duty of
a diplomat Or consular officer. Pres
ident Washington knew it. He also
knew what 10 do. He demanded that
the French recall Genet. They did.
Acting Secretary of State Sumner
Welles has shown himself equally

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA De-
fense commission member is Whet-
ting a new sword to cut the gordian
knot of amortization which is
holding up defense contracts.
Amortization is the principle that

simpler than that.
The manufacturer and the gov

When the plant built for defense
needs became five years old. the ap-
praisers would agree on its worth at

Are You
Superstitious?
BY RUTH FARRAR
NEA Special Correspondent

Toss a dishpan into the yard to
halt hailstorm. Hang snake,
belly up, on fence rail to bring
rain. Stick an ak in the ground
with the handle pointing in the
direction opposite to an advancing
rain storm. and the rain will go
away
You don't believe it? Plenty of
people do, says B. A. Cartwright of
the University of Oklahoma, owner
of a collection of more than 10000
American superstitions. Here are
some of the other things DR.. Cart
wright has found people think
about the weather:
When crawfish fail to throw up
their usual mounds, observant folks
know a wet summer is ahead.
When ants heap dirt up around
their burrows. big rains are pre-
dicted.
If fireflies fly high, if social
WaspS build their nests on shrubs
near water, dry summer is to be
feared.
When rabbits nest in shallow fur
rows, pleasant weather will con-
tinue.
A flock of wild geese flying over
early in the fall is harbinger of
early winter.
If woodrats build high, if squir-
rels put in heavy supply of nuts,
if the possum and skunk have
heavy fur. if quail are fat in the
fall, a cold, harsh winter is pro-
phesied.
If bees don't go to work on a
pleasant day, if crows fly about
carelessly, and the cats fur stands
straight up on its back. better be-
ware. Stormy weather is ahead.
When blackberries bloom, cool
weather is surely past.
IF the locust trees have many
blossoms. a cool summer is expect
ed.
Cobwebs on the grass in early
morning foretell intense heat dur
ing the day.
When you hear thunder on the
left, it means the gods have some
thing to impart to you.
If you kill beetle. it will bring
rain, thunder and lightrine.
The edge of the milk that is
brightest shows the direction from
which the next storm will come.
Thunder in the spring is a sign
that winter is over.
If there are no clouds in the sky
on Christmas day. the coming year
will be a dry one.
IF the sun sets behind a bank
on Sunday night. rain will fall be-
fore Wednesday night.
Up in the hills. the mountaineers
have often been heard singing late
at night to "conjure up" rain.
City folks laugh at that, yet only
