Two Eskimos Acquitted,
Two Convicted in Sayings
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELCHER ISLANDS. Hudsons
Bay, Canada, Aug. 2l.-Murder
charges against three Eskimos still
were to be weighed today by white
mans jury after two were acquitted
and two others were convicted of
manslaughter in the deaths of nine
persons during a religious dispute
last spring.
The jury acquitted Alec Apawkok
and a woman known as Akeenik on
grounds of temporary insanity.
They were charged with clubbing
Alec's 15-year-old sister Sara to
death. Witnesses said the two be-
lieved Sarah to be harboring satan
within herself.
Peter Sala and another Eskimo
called Ablaykok were convicted of
Staying fellow Eskimo, but the jury
recommended mercy for Ablaykok
Sala and Charlie Ouerach, one of
the three still to be tried, were said
to have claimed divinity giving rise
to dissent among their tribesmen
and precipitating the slayings.
Some of the nine victims were
killed by bullets, some by beatings,
and others were driven naked into
a blizzard. -Four of them were chill
dren.

HOLLYWOOD Running through this series have been names, most of which you never heard before or never saw on the screen.
 Ruth Warrick, Dorothy Comin- gore, Donna Reed, Juanita Stark, Rod Cameron, Douglass Newland, Janet Blair, Barbara Britton, Dana. Andrews, Dorothy Morris, Anne Baxter, Frances Ne a l, Nancy Gates, Martin Lamont, Faye Emerson, Evelyn Reyes, Rosemary Colman, Patricia Dane, Roger Clark, Richard Travis, Alexis Smith, could carry on the list indefinitely.
 Which of these, or of all the others now under contract, will be the stars of tomorrow?
 Many Show Promise
 I wouldn't presume to know. Nobody-including Daryl zanuck, Jack Warner, and Louis B. Mayer knows for sure. It is easy enough to make predictions of those whose work has already been seen: Dana Andrews, through Belle Starr" and his current Swamp Water" is practically star-material already. Dorothy Comingore, since Citizen Kane is great bet. Ruth Warrick, buried in that film, has made new tests which are dazzling and exciting, is already in stellar demand. Donna Reed, in

Shes beautiful, physically appealing, and her sincerity lights the screen. Her diction is bad, her carriage poor, and she's raw actress. But she's working hard, and improv- ing. In three, four, five years War ner Bros, or some other studio will have a star in this girl. She may still be no great actress, but she'll be a star.
 Sidelight on the Hunt
 Now for some sidelights on the talent hunt:
 Tyrone Power once drew $50 a week from Metro, went to goth after playing with Katharine Cor nell. The scouts seek only romantic leads-seldom sign "char- acters" or children except as spe- cific need arises. Says Solly Baiano: T couldn't sell Bette Da- wis, James Cagney, or Spencer Tracy to studio today-if they were unknowns. They're all char acters.' Aspirants who are char acters' should make names on the stage before trying pictures. :,

And even furnish the gas

IN ALMOST every great city. among
those never r-stay-at-home groups
Z which drift in the wake of the
Joneses, are to be found men and
women who are in the habit of letting
someone else pay the check. Among
them are the carelessly forgetful
They are not aware that they are
never we'll supplied; always out of
small change; always out of cigarettes;
always out of matches; probably out
of gas for the car. The light-hearted

gestions of going to lunch or to dine.
or to Saturdays game. and taking it
for granted that someone will pay the
check, get the tickets and buy the
gasoline.
These 'let's go" suggesters, how
ever, are not gold-diggers in a delib-
crate sense. They are just as enthusi-
astic in exclaiming: Let's listen to
the game on the RADIO" or Lets eat
at the lunch wagon"
That is the case with most of us
who are almost sure sometimes to
behave as the intentional you pay"
evader does. All of US at times fail
to read the clock on taxi, or to pick
up a check, and find the change as
quickly as our companions. For in
stance, we whose bags are filled with

sometimes too. we seemingly ghost
walk.
The real player of you pay" tricks
is recognized by repetitions. Her rou-
tine goes something like this: Sissy
Sponging says: Lets lunch at Ciro's"
She never says whose lunch nor does
she take over the role of hostess at
the restaurant by seating people or
by asking them what they'll have to
eat. She lets whoever will give orders.
At the end of lunch she suddenly has
to catch someone who is about to
leave the restaurant; or also suddenly
she must put in an urgent telephone
call!

IF IT is not possible to disappear,
she does the best she can by devoting
close attention to making-up her face
in her vanity mirror. If someone who
knows her ways asks impolitely:
Sissy, isn't this lunch yours?" she
replies in surprise: why. nor Or if
it is pinned on her by one who says:
This lunch is yours, Sissyr' she be-
comes fumbler
With apparent enthusiasm she
opens her bag, searches through it.
digs into it, and at last finds to her
surprise that she ''came out with only
sixty-seven cents!"
The really serious you pay" situa-
tions are those which are forced upon
men by women who cling to the be-
lief that it is the obligation of gen.
tleman to pay for a lady - even of
one gentleman for many ladies -
everywhere, and always!
witnessed an example of this out
moded belief the other day. At the
door of crowded restaurant a smart
looking man of forty or 50 stood wait
ing for a table. Two not-young ladies,
to whom he bowed, beckoned him to
join them. Their greeting showed that
they we're acQuaintances of his - not
friends. And when they had finished
eating, they said goodbye to him and
left. l am certain that he was sur
prised when the waiter brought him
three checks. even thought he was
annoyed. But when l told my lunch
con companion what l had seen, she
replied:
'Of course they left the bill for
their friend to pay. 1t would have
shamed him otherwise.
An Oumodsd Notion
As A matter of fact, l know very
we'll that it is the fixed belief of a
large number of old fashioned women,
that to pay for themselves. in any
way whatsoever, in the presence of a
gentleman of their acquaintance, is to
belittle him.
Many men do, of course, object to
a woman's paying for anything -
ever. BUT they want to have to ask
the waiter for the check, and they
want to reserve the right to invite
their guests. In fact, one mans re-
sentiment against being appointed
permanent host is described to me
by a man in the midwest who writes
me this letter:
''As a buyer for a retail house, l
