Some of these ladies slipped into
Hollywood quietly and suffered as
quietly as the weeks stretched into
months and years without so much
as a chance before the camera.
Some came presaged by loud bally-

are still living in California. They

The career of Lya Lys had a
strange beginning, but the usual
end of screen oblivion. Blake Nc

DAVIDSON, Nov. 14.-R-1ncle-

Wildcats indoors today for the third
day this week, and the workout
was limited to signal drills in the
gymnasium.
With Richardson field a sea of
mud and water, Coach Gene

The Wildcats got their first look
at their opponents plays today as
a serve eleven ran them in slow

Ben Lacy, out all week with a
charley horse, showed up today
but whether he will see much serv-
ice Saturday is doubtful. Johnny
Fredericks, valuable back who has
been nursing a pulled ligament in
his side, is expected TO be ready

latter has found it desirable, from
the standpoint of giving good public
service, to have branch Offices in both
Bethesda and Silver Spring, stated
by full-time commissioners. Rock
vile, Of course, remains the county
seat in fact as well as in name, with

Prince Georges, with a population
of $1,000, is the largest county in

county service building in Hyatts-

already houses several branches of
the county government. 1t is only
logical that there should be public
demand for branch of the commits

probably he wouldn't know exactly
where, himself.
Just professional men out to see the
memories of the small towns of their
youthful days, when hearts were young.
Here is that good mixture of living
quarters and business which seems pc
culiarly a part of the small American
town or city of from 10000 to 10000 in
habitants.
A schoolgirl of some 10 summers Is
going along with her books.
She is barefooted. She wears pink
gingham dress which has very large
hole in it at the back at the waist. II
her mother knew about the hole, she
didn't care, and certainly the child didn't.
Suddenly the child disappears.
1t is not a mysterious disappearance,
however. There is a green door there,
right next to the bakery window with
the cakes and cookies. 1t is the door
to the living quarters upstairs.
The child is home.
The man still hasn't come back from
lunch.
There is nothing to do except walk
around while.
In his good time he will return.
In the meantime, there is no better
chance to see what time is doing to Old
Georgetown.
Here is block of typical Washington
row houses of the old school. Right in
the middle of it one of them has been
fixed up, modernized, with a sky-blue
door and general air of swank.
This is going on all over Georgetown
And here are two brand-new houses,
built to keep the old traditions. but
teeming with electricity gadgets, all in
the modern manner.
They are right next door to a small
church, with big spire.
Here is a very elaborate place, stucco
over old brick.
The windows are tall, running from
ceiling to floor. In the old days they
had great windows. People didn't seem
to mind how much space they had to
heat in winter, or did they heat it?
They probably didn't, so 1t made no
difference.
Now we are back on the avenue, So
called.
One thing noticeable is the number Of
eating places Wisconsin avenue didn't
use to be this way. There were just
two or three dairy lunches. but now
there is a restaurant in every block,
sometimes two or three Of them.
Somewhere parrot is screaming.
Yum. yum, those are nice-looking
cookies in that window. Surely there is
something about the atmosphere OF
Georgetown which calls for cookies.
We get bag, and go munching along
the sidewalk Nobody cares. Over in
Washington, people might look askance,
but in Georgetown. and especially on
lower Wisconsin avenue, things are DIFF
ferent.
