Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
This weeks column is going to
be short and sweet 1--WE hOpe),
bein' that Sails been busy what
with school and the like. You know
these beautiful spring, balmy days
make one rather lax-just want to
sit and day-dream. Spring par
ties and what's to be worn to these
parties are the most up to date
subjects about town. There's no
use denying that the Twin City
femmes about town really fall out
in some fine lookin' spring fOrmals
every year and other women of diff
ferent sections can't beat them by
any means. Overheard some
folks saying that DR., J. W.

This Weeks Sob Story (That
Turned Out o. K.)
You know BOB MARSHALL
left last week for Chanute Field in
Illinois to join the Air Squadron.
After he got down there and took
his physical exam, they notified
him that he was not physically fit
to join the Corps. Bob left Chan
ute Field downhearted and detected
and stopped in Chicago to try to
forget his disappointment. While
down in Chicago, the officials at
Chanute Field wired Bob's Pop in
Mpls., telling him to tell Bob to re-
turn, for a very bad error had been
made-the X-rays of Bob had been
mixed up with those of some other
fellow, who was physically unfit.
So now all is well with physically
fit" Bob, who is back in the Air
Corps where he should have been
at first and enjoying himself i'm

Farmer-LabOr
Committee Makes
Strong Statement

The Farmer Labor Citizens
Committee, 1926 Harmon Place, is
sued the following statement anent
the primary election on Monday,
May IL:
"The Farmer-Labor party and its
candidates stood alone in the final
week of the Minneapolis primary
election campaign as the only mill
tant outspoken fighters against
Jim Crowism."
Candidates Include Mallory
The candidates, including Robert
Mallory, seeking nomination as
Park Board commissioner, drove
home one of the major points in
their platform:
eve are solidly opposed to re-
ligious or racial discrimination
the fight of the Negro people
against segregation and Jim Crow
ism is our fight"
Hansen Mayor Choice
Al Hansen, Farmer-Labor choice
for mayor, warned that "the same
invisible government which does
not hesitate to scuttle a Better
Housing program in order to gain
more fat profits from slums and
rat holes, will not hesitate to stir
up any form Of intolerance to hold
it's position. We can fight these
forces behind the Stassen Leach
combination only by electing a peo-
pies government, a Farmer-Labor
government"
Luverne Noon, candidate for
treasurer, declared it was mo ac-
cident" that the same men who
"applauded Senator Bilbo of Mis-
sissippi are also the same men who
want war. War means intolerance,
it means the crushing of minori-
ties, it means the end of civil lib
critics, so that few people can
gain their end and set the clock
back another 20 years. We in the
Farmer-Labor party stand for de-
mocracy, and we stand for peace.
Bilbo and his ilk stand for fascism
and war, and we might as well ad-
NIT it."
Robert Wishart, candidate for
alderman in the Sixth Ward, and
Ed S. Torkelson, Mallory's running
mate, were other Farmer-Laborites
who pressed the fight on Jim
Crowism.
Wishart told his campaign work.

ers in Minneapolis.)
Torkelson had one fundamental
plank in his campaign for the park
board:
"Open the parks to all people;
make them available to all; let
there be no discrimination"
Failure Of Farmer-Laborites to
Dust reactionary members of the
park board, said Torkelson, means
that people who have no sympa-

ty of Minneapolis citizens are in
control of our great park system.

a few weeks, Just heard hot
rumor that R. and G. of Mpls. are
thinking about taking a trip to the
altar in the none too distant future.
L. B. just made dashing trip
down to Omaha to see that "only
one; did you hear? Just re-
ceived a letter from LAVERTA
HUFF DIGGS, formerly of the
Twin Cities, now successful Pro-
lessor in Social Work at Howard
University. LaVerta at present is
attending a conference at Fisk Uni
versity and really is enjoying her
self.
Morality Not Needed?
A local Twin City man about
town, who was applying for a Ii
cense to sell whiskey, was asked if
he was of good moral character. He
replied, 81 don't see the necessity
of a good moral character to sell
whiskey." (Frankness was no
word for it,
Novelette, of the Week:
She is an attractive St. Paul
femme who has been going steady |
with her St. Paul b. f. for around |
seven months. Everyone points |
them out as an ideal couple and |
expects their engagement to be an
nounced any day. Our heroine has
a very attractive step-mama (who |
papa married not so long ago) who |
is quite jealous of her step-daugh-
ter and makes trouble galore for |
her. Recently our heroine has dis
covered something that bowled her
over when she first heard it. Brok-
en-hearted and not knowing what
to do, she has kept this recently
discovered secret to herself until
now-when she has made up her
mind to divulge the secret to her
papa despite the consequences.
1t seems as if this young lady's
step-mother has been meeting our
own heroine's b. f. out secretly and
this has been going on for some
time unbeknownst to anyone. Our
heroine knows this to be fact for
she saw them together with her
own eyes. This is our heroine's
problem-if she tells her papa, he's
apt not to believe her for he's so
in love with his wife. He's also
liable to make her leave home (for
he always does what the step
mother requests) and she will have
no place to go-no job-no rela-
tives and now her oncoming mar
riage (which she thought would be
an escape) is washed up. What
would you do? Would you let this
scheming step-mother ruin your
life if you were the girl in ques-
ton? Or would you just sit back
and play dumb?
Well, guess that's enuf for this
week, but I'll be SEEM you next
week.

obviously. All my fault, too. I raised her since she was kid and I don't have too much time to devote to her. She's had every thing probably too much. And believe me, Dugan," he added, iabbing a stubby finger for em- phasis, "the man that gets her will need a plenty strong rope and a high corral"
 Dugan Blake was inclined to agree. The lovely Miss Chase, he understood, had talents no end. Dugan didn't like women to have too much talent.
 Barbara thought 1t strange when Uncle Hank told her Dugan would have to meet her party at the Star light Terrace. A business confer ence had tied him up later than he had expected.
 Larry Grover came along to pick her up. Sorry I'm little late" he apologized. "One of my ponies came down with fever"
 Barbara showed her disgust. If you paid as much attention to your business as you do to polo you'd be one of the greatest archi- tects in the country"
 Correction" he said. THE greatest. But polo is more fun"
 Tt must be. You haven't called in two weeks"
 I'm flattered that you noticed" he laughed.
 The whole crowd already was there when they arrived Sue Bishop, Charley Gilroy, Ina and Bruce Meade, and half dozen others.
 Where's the guest of honor?" they chorused. Don't tell us he got cold feet and beat 1t back to the hills" Charley said
 It was a matter of seconds later that they heard the commotion. Over the hum of excited voices on the other side of the room she could hear the high flat voice of Henry, the head-waiter.
 Then Barbara gasped. Henrys back appeared first, and then as he was swept aside with one iln- perative arm, . buckskinned moccasined Indian strode into view, solitary bright blue feather arising from a head band.
 They sat in stunned silence as

CHAPTER HI

'Nothing like relaxing after din- rer," said Uncle Hank, pulling out his pipe. Beautiful night, too"
 "The stars, especially" Dugan said softly, turning his head sky ward.
 Barbara noticed his profile and it bothered her. Surely your Oklahoma stars must be much prettier," she said loftily.
 He turned to her. "Yes," he re- piled slowly. "They are. Much prettier. You'll have to come down and see them sometime"
 Would it be safe?"
 "Quite," he assured her. You have my guarantee"
 What's 1t worth?"
 He walked up to her, very de- liberately. Much more than those given to lot of my friends by some of yours, years ago.
 From the depths of his com fortable chair, Uncle Hank groaned. Something told him he had engin- eered a little too much.
 Hank dropped into Dugan's room before they retired. Well, Dugan my boy, what do you think of her?"
 Dugan grinned as he yanked off his tie. Hank, she's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Looks as though she has more spirit than pinto pony, but very obviously, uh ."
 Hank grunted. Spoiled. very

he approached and bowed, arms folded, before Barbara.
 Barbara drew she had to say something but words just wouldn't come out of her mouth. She looked past Dugan and saw Ina Meade's eyes standing out like bugs.
 Barbara finally recovered. "This this is = Chief Leaping Water" sch stammered, introducing Du- gan all the way around.
 Dugan bowed again and they each nodded dumbly. All but Sue. Her pent-up breath exploded.
 "Boyl isn't he the iteml"
 Dugan, sitting down between Barbara and Larry, smiled. T seemed to have a little difficulty getting in. Especially with the head waiter"
 Did he try to stop you = for = for some reason or other?" one of the girls queried.
 Dugan leaned toward her slight ly. He changed his mind, how ever. I told him I would cut out his heart and throw 1t to the dogs"
 Someone knocked over water glass. Barbara turned to Dugan, frigidly. Your costume Is colorful, If not correct"
 Tt is not a costume and 1t is correct" he replied evenly. Even ing clothes are supposed to be the finest one has. These are the finest an Indian can wear. This father" he added. "was part Of the very correct ceremonial dress I wore when made chief of my tribe. And now = may l be hon. ored with a dancer"
 I think can manage" he added significantly. ,
 His assurance was an under statement. His dancing was smooth, superb, as good as that of any man she had ever known.
 There was bright flash as they glided near the end of the floor. Someone had taken a picture.
 At the table Sue nudged Larry Grover. If he's an Indian, it's me for teh great open spaces" she said enthusiastically. Ever see eyes like that and look at those shoulders"
 Larry grinned. Then he sat up stiffly. If he's an Ind"
 What did you say?" Sue asked.
 Nothing he said curiously.
 Larry took them home when 1t was all over and bade them good night.
 Barbara let her wrap slide from her shoulder as Dugan opened the door. Allow me to say I had very fine time," Dugan said grave- ly Tt was very interesting"
 Interestingly" Barbara echoed. "1'd say 1t was slightly on the riotous side. I won't hear the end of this for months, thanks to you"
 Thanks to me2 You had planned a show. So we had a show. But we have a saying, Miss Chase the whip can strike from both ends"

In The Local TheaterS
STATE

High comedy at its brightest and best was unreeled this afternoon at the local premiere of Ernst Lu- bitsch's That Uncertain Feeling" which opened its engagement today at the air conditioned State theater.
 This new Lubitsch comedy, CO., stars Melvyn Douglas and Merle Oheron and features such favorites as Burgess Meredith, Alan Now bray, Harry Davenport and others.
 LubitSch, who is known wherever movies are seen as the master of a touch" is again responsible for bringing to filmgoers everywhere a comedy which is ace-high as enter tainment that is witty, light-heart- ed and unforgettahly funny. Brief ly described, "The Uncertain Feel ing" plots its hilarious course around the rival-meets-a psychoanalyst in- to the bosom of happy family as played brilliantly by Merle Oberon and Melvyn Douglas.
 Douglas and Miss Oberon discover that according to the rules of the Freud they have no right to be bliss fully happy. Burgess Meredith, fea- tured in support of the stars, pops up as an eccentric and entirely un- inhibited pianist with a yen for sur- realist art and through him, Miss Oberon thinks she can work off the Fruedian curse. The end of the story proves that fifty thousand psychoanalysts could be wrong. This, If the records are on the job, is the first time that comedy has obtained the loan-out of Frued from the hea- " drama.
 All in all here is one picture that belongs at the top of your must see" list. And after you have seen 1t we'll guarantee you1l want to pass the word along that 1t Is the mer- riest romantic riot you ever roared at.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Passage From Hongkong", thrilling film that will prove to be rare treat for all noviegoers. Lucille Fairbanks and Keith Douglas head the cast.

POLI'S

Tonight, at the Loew-Poli theater, in addition to the regular double feature program, made up of "The Reluctant Dragon" the latest Walt Disney masterpiece and for the com panion feature Gene Autry In "Singing Hills" there will be another of the very popular Movie Quiz" parties, at which time $l00O0 in cash awards will be given to the pa- irons who know their stars the best
 Tho current program runs until tomorrow night.
 Friday brings back to the screen of the Loew-Poli the eyer popular Ann Sothern, in her latest episode, and this is without a doubt the best of her efforts, she is ably assisted In the fun-making by George Mur- phy, Rags Ragland and Maxie Ro- senbloorn, making up a group that will long be remembered for their ar- tics in this film, at Q preview of the film before critics, 1t was voted the best of the series, by far and this gives promise of something sensa- tional. The title of this film is not misleading as 1t Is slug-fest right from the opening scene to the final close-out.
 Poor Maisie--she sure gets slap ped, slammed and scrambled around in this picture, 1t sort of begins to look as if the script writers have 1t in for her, and Ann Sothern believes this also, take the little thing about an actress getting off a train, one of the other stars would have a porter to handle her grips and all sorts of service but not "Maisie" she doesn't get any of this, in fact she gets tossed off a fast moving train.
 Probably no other screen actress has achieved the amount of popu- lartty that Ann Sothern has in her characterization of "Maisie" she Is compelled to take all sorts of parts and in one of the opening scenes of this film she does 'jitterbug' dance that would easily win prize in an International contest, but 1t is all in a days work for this grand little trouper and she carries on to the limit.
 The supporting cast is marvellous, all well known names, and the new ones, "Slapsie" Maxie Rosenbloom, you have heard on all of the leading radio programs, while Rags Rag land a former vaudeville and bur- lesque performer, lately starred in Panama Hattie" will also become a favorite of yours after his first screen endeavor.
 To complete the program and make up an ideal balanced screen show, a mystery thriller Horror Island" one of the most spooky and eerie film you have seen in 8 long time will be shown and if you like your thrills, in a different and pun chy' manner, here they are for you.

 IN STAMPS
Russian Pre-Wor Stamp Morked Industrial Gains

'0NLY a few weeks before Nazi
 Germany marched into Rus- lsia, the Soviet government is- sued the stamp shown above as part of a special industrial series.
 The stamp shows automobiles and airplanes and symbolizes Rus sian advances in both fields. News paper stories coming from the war zones bear the best testimony as to whether Russia's industrial progress has been sufficient to cope with her friend -for-t -the-mo- .ment, turned enemy once more.
 Little exact information con- cerning Russia's mechanized prep Iarations for war was available be- fore Hitler's most momentous ldouble-cross. For many years after the Revolution, American technical experts and engineers were called to Russia to aid in placing the Soviet Union on an efficient industrial basis.
 Greatest obstacle all along was the fact that people in the Soviet Union had no industrial back ground of the kind that existed in other nations, and most of them had to be schooled from the be- ginning in the use of new devices.
