 Lots of famous people have had wooden legs. Kids believe that the very best pirates operate best on wooden underpinning; old sol- diers long ago pOpularized such limbs. Aunty Porter, negro lady up on Sand Road in Falls Vil- lage, used to sport the incest wooden leg of ali. Aunty'S limb bore the carved names of all the folks up there who had cOntribut- ed toward the purchase of her ap- bondage, a sort of an honor roll of charity, an epic of remem- brance.

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

ANAHEA VI N@S1 CSeN--
 Hollywood-Be Behind the screen:
 Sad story about the wealthy, aging playboy who almost turned over Heaven and Hollywood to arrange a screen test for a girl friend, with an able young leading man to ap- pear with her. She got contract, all right-and won the actor, too. They've been going together ever since, while the lonely rich man meditates upon feminine ingratitude and the impulsiveness of young love.
 Picture companies have said "No, thanks" to the British offer allow ing frozen assets in England to be invested in theaters there. Insurance rates on theaters run as high as 30 per cent, and even movie-making isn't that big a gamble. Note of alarm: Most popular film in Buenos Aires is "Petroleo," about U. s. oil grabs in the Argentine. It's said to be antagonistic to this coun- try throughout, and all U. s. char acters are heavies.
 ThereIl be a bid for U. s. sym pathy for the French people in Re union," an original story being pre- pared by Metro. It deals with the efforts of patriots in occupied France to oppose Germany and bol- ster French morale. . Hef friends here have been told that Danielle Darrieux, shapely French star who made one picture here, has arranged to return to Hollywood to stay.

Heard Jack Benny and Mervyn Le- Roy make a pact to quit smoking; and a single puff will cost $100 if the other catches him.
 British Eric Blore hates a mon- ocle but often has to wear one in pictures. Charles Coburn, American born, always wears a monocle off, stage but casting directors don't consider him the type. Don Ameche's face just isn't designed to hold a single eye-piece, so for scenes in sTlhe Road to Rio" he has to paste in monocle with spirit gum.

The dogs, penguins and bells also
are we'll represented and the out-
tons are far too numerous to de-
scribe. One incident in connection
with the buttons shows how the
family works together on the hob
bies. Mr.. Meggers stopped IN a de-
partment store in Berlin, Germany,
while on a business trip there. He
spied several boxes Of buttons on
counter, labeled one mark per box.
They were remnant buttons, almost
no two alike. The clerk probably
thought he was crazy when he
bought the entire lot.
Jokers from decks Of playing cards
and scrap books on all the subjects
of interest to her round out Miss
Meggers' hobbies.
Most all the members of this un-
usual family collect stamps in gen.
eral, but Mrs. Meggers heads her
hobbies with United States spe-
cialized collection. She also has
pitchers, marbles and coins. Probably
the most unusual Of her collections
is the one of marbles. They are not
ordinary marbles such as boys and
some girls play with today. Mrs.
MeggerS' interest in them dates from
her own girlhood when they were
her chief passion. She then had a
basketful Of them and was heart
broken when she lost them in the
woods one day. Time passed and
about two years ago she saw one OF
these marbles in an antique shop. 1t
started the present collection.
The marbles are of glass, most Of
them IL inches in diameter, and
having a small white figure imbed-
ded in the center. In addition to a
nice set of these, Mrs. Meggers has
some glass ones with colored designs
in them and others of china and
porcelain.
Mr.. Meggers rounds out the list
with Indian relics. minerals. shells,
elephants, photography (both still
and movie) and woodworking. He
also has large collection Of por-
traits Of contemporary scientists, in
cluding autographed photographs OF
some 80 Nobel Prize winners in

Notes on Variety of Subjects of Interest IN

pionship shows have become largely
affairs for big breeders and com.
mercial exhibitors. The pace al
these shows has been too fast 1or
many owners of purebred dogs
who would like to show them in loca!
competition. but could not aHord
either the time or money it taxes
to show widely at the large SHOWS:
Therefore, the club has changed
some of the rulings about sanction
matches. From now on sanction
matches may award both best OF
breed and best in show trophies,
which will help to make the COM
petition at these affairs more spr-
tied and encourage local exhibitors
to enter their dogs because in most
respects the sanction match now
will more nearly resemble the L.
censed show. Virtually the only dif-
ference, as far as judging Is con-
cerned, is that no championship
/ points will be awarded. Incidentally,
/ this new system makes it even easier
+ for the shoW-giving club to stage
sanction match, for the number OF
trophies could be cut in half and
vet each breed winner would have
a trophy to commemorate his VIC
tory.
