tell he was nervous by the way he
chartered on. 1t wasn't like Larry
Maitland to be so talkative. He spoke
quite loudly and very slowly so that
there could be no chance of the for
eigner misunderstanding him.
''If I'm going to land, mister" he
said, 'I'll have to fly the ship. I'm
telling you so in advance. I'm going
to throw the automatic pilot out of
engagement and do the flying myself,
and you mustn't get nervous if l
reach for any of those controls" He

"Oh. yes." the man in brown

you are acting sensible. The captain
was very unreasonable.
1HE bed of the dry lake was as
smooth as an egg. A road led from the
highway, skirted the northern end of
the lake, and then vanished among
the desert hills. An automobile was
parked on the road, and Larry pointed
it out to the foreign tourist as the
transport circled into the wind. He
touched the fat tires at the precise
spot he had selected among the scat
tered clumps of bright green salt
weed, and braked so sharply that he
could feel the cruiser quivering
Throughout all her length as she tried
desperately to nose over. When the

quarters of the field still lay before

snapped. You're on the ground just

He pulled on the earphones, settled
the transmitter on his breast, and
tipped the switch.
Brown Tweeds watched him sus-
piciously. "You will be sensible,

thing wrong?"
"Of course not. You'll hear every

"The Army has bombing range

singer named Gene Autry. This
serial gave Republic its start, made
Autry a name.
The serial begins life in the writ

Three to five months later they turn
in a shooting script five times as
long as that for the average fea-
ture film.
The experiences of the staff at
Republic with Jungle Girl provide
a play-by- play account of the serial
aborning. The producer, Hiram
Brown, jr., informs the writer's that
the studio has bought the Edgar
Rice Burroughs novel, Jungle Girl"
It's Something Special.
They are thus provided with a
title. an obvious background and a

ship. the expectations of a pre-sold
audience and the range of the cam
era, the serial requires unique
formula.
The writer's spend six weeks plan
ming a 40-page outline of the plot,
divided into episodes. Each of the
writers then works chapter into
screenplay form. When all the epi-
sodes have been completed, they go
to the unit manager for polishing.
The last step is important. Since
a number of writers have worked on
the script, their conceptions of the
characters may vary. One may see
the villain as a suave slicker; anoth-
er as a gangster prototype. The
unit manager smooths out these
differences and keeps the character
in character.
Serial writer's have multitude OF
rules. Since the juvenile audience

The hero never drinks or smokes
He never takes an unfair advantage

He never fights except in self-de-
fenSe. or in an attempt to halt a
premeditated crime. He is always
kind to animals and old people. He
has a tender heart and high ideals.
He is strong and brave. He never
does wrong.
There Is always heroine, but the
romance is idealized, and played

reason for a girl at all is to attract

by seeing themselves as the heroine
Now It's a Heroine.
An exception is Jungle Girl" For
the first time in many years, a serial
play is being built around a girl.
The villain never is represented as
a citizen of any specific foreign
country. (Americans are very toll
erant-they don't mind how bad one
of their own becomes0 If he is a
spy. he is called IAN agent of a for
eign power" and you take your
choice. The villain is the opposite OF
the hero. He is cowardly and per-
fidious.
The thrill stuff cannot be done
with mirrors. When some one Is
shown jumping from a cliff. falling
through a trap door or wrecking a
car, somebody has to do it. Stunt
men and doubles, of course, do the
stunts.
The man who thinks up the thrill
must also figure out how 1t is to be
done. MacRae, at Universal, does
little writing, little directing, but
he averages a thrill a week. He has

A Worthless Substitute

The alternative bill which Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph has
introduced for consolidation of the
local police and municipal courts
would rob the merger proposal of its
two most desirable features. For
that reason, it is to be hoped that
the House District Subcommittee
considering the matter will reject
this alternative measure and report
favorably the original bill.
Under the alternative proposal,
which Representative Randolph says
he does not personally advocate, the
consolidation would be effected with
out providing for presiding judge
to act in an administrative capacity,
and without setting up an interme-
diate appellate court, to which litl-
gants could appeal as a matter OF
right.
Both of these features, and par
ticularly the provision for presiding
judge, are provided for in the origi-
nal bill and are of first Importance.
If they were to be dropped there
would be little if any justification
for consolidating the courts, and
this is evidenced by the overwhelm-
ing support which the original plan,
drafted after careful study, has re-
ceived from the local bar.
In this connection, it is significant
that Representative Randolph, in
presenting the second bill, said that
he was doing so at the request of
local attorney in whom he had great
faith" but who wished to remain
anonymous. Surely the House COM
mittee will not reject the plan which
has been so carefully worked out by
representatives of the District bar
and the Department of Justice in
favor of a decidedly inferior pro-
posal whose sponsor is not willing
to let his name be used in connec-
tion with it.

V-For Victory

In oppressed Europe hope springs
anew. Freedom is not yet near, but
pending its arrival, the populace re-
mains sullen and unco-operative to
the new order. whispering cam
paigns and minor defances are
everywhere, and the latest develop
ment is the Haunting of the symbol
V, for victory, in the faces of the
oppreSsors. Just as the algebraic x
has helped mathematician for years,
so now v is doing its bit for the
downtrodden of the Old World.
There is also place for it in Amer
lea. Let our henpecked husbands
seize it as their symbol, by stopping
the clocks at v and let them scratch
v on the bathroom walls, particularly
if there are children around to take
the rap. Then, when their wives
are softened up by this treatment,
say along about v o'clock in the With
day of May, the With month, let them
quit being vague and vacillating
vassals, and come right out into the

Mr.. Ford at 78

Time has not discouraged Henry
Ford in his hopes for peace. On the
eve of the seventy-eighth ami
versary of his birth, he told news
papermen: Il believe that, right
now, a new world is being BONA
very different world Contrary
to what appears on the surface, this
war is bringing the people of the
world together as never before. 1t
touches every race and people on
earth. The radio and the airplane
are bringing communication and
transportation such as has never
been before. Every race and people
is getting to know more about other
races and peoples. They're begin
ing to see that you can't build any,
thing permanent on hate. The world
is learning tolerance as never before.
We're right on the verge of fedora
ton of the whole world. Therell
be more tolerance in the world, be-
cause there1l be more understand
ing"
Of course, the development to
which MIR. Ford calls attention is one
which is neither novel nor new.
The trend toward unity has been
plainly discernible during at least
five thousand years. All the great
religious teachers of antiquity con-
tributed to its progress, and it has
been strengthened by science genera
ton after generation.
True, there were seasons Of fruS-
tration when the high ideals of the
dreamers with whom Mr.. Ford as
sociates himself seemed destined to
perish. During the French revolu-
ton and later during the Napoleonic
struggle, considerable numbers of in
telligent onlookers found themselves
Mortified by the spectacle of human
genius pledged to the destruction of
civilization.
Mr.. Ford was born into such a
period of moral depression. On the
date Of his arrival in the world, July
80, 1853, this Nation which had
