NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Mrs.
Jim Deering, the former Violet
Pierce, who has been a house
guest in Palm Beach Of the opu-
lent and always romantic Mrs.
James N. Hill, is reported to
have recently talked with friends
beneath the swaying palm s
about her future plans-plans
calling for a divorce and another
dip into the matrimonial seas.
For some time past even close
friends of Jim and Violet Deer
ing have been a bit mystified9as
to their exact status. Some
even believed they were already
divorced. But those who have
talked with Violet in Palm
Beach pooh-pooh such chatter.
Be that as, it may, the Deer
ings have been going their sepa-
rate ways for several years past.
despite both having the same
address on West Fifty-fourth
street.
That Jim Deering has long
been interested in some one else
is an open secret. And recently
Violet has been toying with the
idea of becoming the wife of a
certain we'll known, but none
Ltoo-Wealthy widower, if she ever
got round to calling it a day
with Jim.
HOW TIMES have changed
for the Deerings. Once they
were prominent in the late Reg
gle Vanderbilt set and Violet
was heiress to oil millions
amassed by her father. the late
Henry Clay Pierce, a gasoline
plunger of the old Waldorf
Astoria group of financiers.
Those Pierce oil wells didn't
do right by Violet. And for some
time past she has been in cir
cumstances that couldn't by the
widest stretch of the magma
ton be described as affluent.
1t is the irony of fate that.
down in Palm Beach, she con-
stantly encounters Mrs. Frank
c. Henderson, once her sister,
in-law.
Back in the days when Betty
Henderson was married to young
Roy Pierce. she was poor and
the Pierce clan used its wealth
and influence to break up Bet
tvs marriage with Roy.
The unpleasant court litiga-
ton wrecked Betty's health and
drove Roy Pierce into exile.

 Thrills, color, action and excite ment are the highlights of the hit. Briefly, it tells a stirring story of the era just preceding the Civil War, when Jeb Stuart and General Custer, newly graduated from West Point began the military careers which have made them two of the most colorful and heroic figures in American history. Interwoven in their story is that of John Brown who sought to right the wrong of slavery by bloodShed and riot.

In 1889 Munoz Marin emerged with new party - the Partido Popular Democratico. He had a sign put over the doorway of hir headquarters reading: No Votes Bought Here" The idea began to catch on.
 Realizing that there were per- taps no more than 5000 voters on the island who knew how to split a ticket when voting, Munoz Marin instituted single-handed educational campaign. He made speeches everywhere. He rode horseback into the mountains and chatted with thousands of jibaros as the hill-farmers are known. He tired to show them why they shouldn't sell their votes for g or $3. He told them stories like this:
 Boys, here is what it amounts to: You have a SOW. You can either sell that SOW now for whatever you can get for 1t, or you can keep the SOW, await developments and presently you will have a SOW and litter of pigs. It's up to you" They got the point that way.

MunOz Marin Has Landed
 On Top Of Puerto Rico
Becomes Islands Heod PoIitico by Not Buying Votes
BY JOHN W. THOMPSON
 NEA Special Correspondent

San Juan, Puerto Rico, Jan. 30.- One morning Eeveral months ago be rolled sleepily out of bed in a dingy garret over his print shop in San Juan, pulled on pair of well- worn slippers, and told me that the day of Puerto Rico's Common Man had come.
 Today he is president of the Puer- to Rican Senate, second in power on the island only to the governor him. self.
 He rode his 18-months-old party into office a-straddle just one plat form plank - Don't Sell Your Vote!"
 Luis Munoz Marin, whose Popu- lar Democratic Party, by virtue of the recent island election, will con- trol the Insular Senate and almost half the House of Representatives, is the most romantic politico Puerto Rico has known.
 Educated at Georgetown Univer- sity in Washington, D. C., where he studied law, and 8 sad-but-wiser graduate of the school of Latin American politics, this black-man- ed caballero, with flawless Spanish and excellent English, is a Spell- binder among spellbinders.
 This time last year he couldn't have fixed traffic sticker. Today he is the strongest political power in Puerto Rico.
 His grandfather fought with the Spanish army against Simon Boli- var in South America. His father Luis Munoz Rivera, was the George Washington of Puerto Rico. securing autonomous government for the island from Spain. Just three months before United States troops took possession of Puerto Rico in 1898, the cabinet members of that short-lived autonomous government stood. over the crib of Luis Munoz Marin and pronounced him "beau- tiful baby" Since then he has been in and out of four distinct political parties.
 He made his first political speech in 1917, under his fathers auspices. He admits he wasn't quite sure what he was talking about.
 By 1921 I realized that the Un- ionists were in the hands of the sugar capitalists, so got out" Mu- noz Marin says. T stayed with the Socialists until the sugar companies took them over, too"
 He then went with the Liberal Party and rapidly built up a strong personal following. Party leaders saw what was coming and kicked him out, in 1887.
