AN ANTI-NOISE
CAMPAIGN
[ (Palo Alto Times)

San Joses city health officer, planning
a campaign to reduce unnecessary noises,
has issued QUESTIONABLE on which peo-
pie are to mark the types of noises they
find most disturbing, and also to desig-
nate their location and the hour of day
when they occur The listed noises are:
Barking dogs, Growing roosters, noisy
parties, loud speakers in homes, sirens
(ambulance and fire., garbage collectors,
newsboyS' cries, automobile cutouts, auto
mobile horns and noisy trucking.
Most of those noises are common in
every locality Not all of them can be
eliminated entirely, but something can
be done to reduce both the volume and
frequency of several. That is particular
" true of automobile horns, which are
sounded by most drivers for almost every
thing except their one lawful purpose,
namely to give warning in the promotion
of traffic safety.
If the San Jose effort should succeed
in nothing more than abating that nuiS-
ance alone, not only would notable gain
be made in the citys anti-noise campaign,
but traffic safety would be served as
we'll Like the cry of Wolf, wolf, when
there is no wolf, the frequency of the
sounding of automobile horns for greet
ing friends or announcing ones arrival,
or merely celebrating, robs the signal Of
most of its effectiveness for warning
purpose when there is danger in the traf-
&c stream

HOLLYWOOD, April % - The
name, Mary Lee. doesn't mean
much TO Hollywood. but neither did
Gene Autrys until the singing
cowboy came in fourth on the Big
Ten Star list, Just behind Clarke
Gable.
So it may be some time before
she's recognized locally, though al
ter lust q year and half on the
screen she is receiving more than
500 far letters q week. Actually,
she's getting many more because
the bulk of Autrys mail mentions
her, mostly as ". and like
Mary Lee very much
Leading ladies usually arc
switched on western stars faster
than a headwaiter can change a
$40 bill, but Mary Lee has been
ir nine of Autry's films and is the
only female who ever has won his
heart on celluloid. In all of them
she has been Patsy, an orphan
who is befriended by him, now is
his adopted daughter. A good
many fans think she really has
been legally adopssd, and only
catty ones write, Il don't believe
you're Just IA but if you're ashamed
to tell your age, that's all right
FERT
AND PRETTY
Actually, shes 16 going on IT, but
neither looks nor acts it. Just now
She has more bounce than umph,
still is roun6-faced and fond of
mugging. (Autry warns her she'll
have TO correct that bad habit
cf sticking out her tongue at peo
ple) Between her big brown eyes
and fine singing voice, however, she
has all the makings of a glamor
vocalist in a year or SO.
There's canny psychology behind
the age reduction, because fans
don't resent her as romantic
threat. AS Miss Lee outlines her
character, I'm always for Mr..
Autry and back him up in whatever
he wants to do in the plot. The
Girl always opposes him. I'm no
love- interest, though I'm always
asking him to wait until I grow
up, SO I can marry him"
Mary Lee got her first job with
Ted Weems' band, when she was
y. a small-town Illinois youngster
with a fresh, unframed voice and
lots of personality. When the band
played local engagement, She
sang one song for Weems and was
hired on the spot.
In 1898, she made one film, play

QUESTION


obviously impossible, as when some
ole wanted to know if the Presi-
dent had any general opinion on
the progress cf the European war"
The President threw back his
head and reared and afterwards he
commented that he'd have TO
grease the palm of the Delphic
oracle on that one.
Some of his answers are perhaps
TOO honest to make good copy.
When the President was asked
about his conversation with Prime
Minister Mackenzie King of Can
ada. he shot back the answer that
they had talked about German
measles. AS a matter of fact, the
meeting had been very brief and
the President had told about his
inability to get away to Warm
Springs, Ga. because of an epi-
demic of German measles at the
institution. II would never do for
an American president to get any
German disease at this stage of the
worlds affairs.
When someone starts a question
with, Would it be a fair assump-
ton to say that-?' the President
always cuts in with an ejaculation
that stops the question in mid-air,
before the subject is ever reached.

lodging traffic jams of interroga-
ton.

of fumbles, one on the opening

H. j. Strobel's Memphis crew
here yesterday as rugged,
heavy st. Clair team marched
over them, 26-0, in the opener
for both schools
Winning the toss, Memphis
chose to receive, only to have
quarterback Victor Himmler,
playing in his first game,
tumble on the 1O-yard line. ST..
Clair recovered and went over
in four plays. They scored
again a short time later when
Jimmy Bruin, fullback. fumbled
on the 2O-yard line on the sec
ond kickoff and the lakeside
team rolled to first down and
then took it across.
The third touchdown came on
a tumble, too, when march by
Memphis ended at mid-field via
the lost bal route.
Most of the game was played
between Memphis 20 and 40
yard lines. St. Clair, taking ad-
vantage of their opponents weak
end play, pounded the TANKS for
most of their gains, and stayed
out of the air completely, at
tempting no passes. st. Clair
scored its last tally in the third
quarter.
Memphis completed three flat
passes, all for short gains. Part
of the Memphis. trouble was in
the fact that Bob Schuster, half,
turned up late for the game. He
had gone to visit his brother, in
Pontiac under an oxygen tent.
st. Clair lost every game last
year but appears slated to 60
places this season, judging from
their performance yesterday.
