LADY FROM NOWHERE
When she spoke, her accent was unlike
any accent known. Hollywood couldn't
use her. Then luck entered in
by Donald Hough

An American talent scout saw the
tests, however, and she got contract
from Twentieth Century-Fox studios.
Osa arrived in Hollywood early in
1898. At the Fox studios she studied
under dramatic coach for three
months, and made some tests - then
her contract was dropped.
BY this time, however, Miss Massen's
Danish was up. She was determined to
become picture actress. She began
the rounds of the studios.
Which brings us back to MIR. Griffith,

Miss Massen attended the premiere
of this with Mr.. and Mrs. Jean
Hersholt. She was extremely nervous
as the scene in which she was to make
her entrance came closer. Finally -

ally. Instantly murmur ran through
the audience. "Who is that?" came in
loud whispers from every side. When
the scene was over, Mrs. Hersholt
turned to speak to Osa. She was gone.
They found her afterwards, in their
car, crying.
She had misunderstood the meaning

Corporation Taxes
Under New Measure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26
(UP)-The senate finance
committee today approved
use of a simplified tax form
which will permit small tax
payers to compute income taxes at
a glance without filling out detailed
blanks.
The simplified system of compu-
tation would be optional, and any
taxpayer would be entitled to fill out
a regulation form and compute his
own tax if he desired. The simpli-
fled chart could be used only by
those whose incomes did not ex-
ceed $4,000 a year.
The plan is designed to aid some

City Buys Lincoln
School Property
On Bid of $1,000

Lincoln school property at the
corner of Fourth and Olive streets
went to the city of Ell Centro Mon
day night on a high bid of $4,000.
H. w. Fawcett, city park COM
missioner, said Tuesday no def
mite plans were made for use of
the school site but it presented
many possibilities too valuable for
the city to pass by when there was
a chance to buy it.
The old brick school building was
condemned approximately five years
ago by the state department of pub
lie works and has stood empty since
that time. School officials may not
spend in excess of $4,000 in repair
ing a school building under the
earthquake safety law, School Su-
perintendent Guy Weakley said, and
since it would require much great
er sum to put the building in shape
for school purposes, the board
deemed it wise to accept the city's
offer.
