magazine stories to keep him read
ing many months, because his dad
like to read them years ago.
The boys father attended the pub
lie auction of the assets of the bank

tioneer took bids on the magazines

equipment, furniture and carpeting,
manuscripts and art material. -.
When the auctioneer came to a
bundle of 100 volumes of former
issues of the Youths Companion
and the American Boy, the man lis
tened intently to the bids. Then
he stepped over to the clerk and laid
enough cash on the line to top the
highest bidder.
Asked why he purchased the old
copies, he replied:
"I used to read the American Boy
when I was a kid, and it made a
profound impression on my life. 1t

Couple Wed by Proxy
To Be Married AGAIN

VANCOUVER, British Columbia,
Sept. 10 canadian Press A pretty
South American girl arrived here by
plane yesterday to join the man she
married recently by proxy-but she
wasn't quite sure whether she was
Mrs. Hector Morrison or still Seno-
rita Aguirre Martinez of Guyaquill,
Ecuador.
The proxy marriage was conducted
at the home of the brides parents
at Guyaquill with a friend acting
for Mr.. Morrison, whom he met two
years ago in South America. At
that time he returned to his nearby
Langley, British Columbia, farm and
the bride had not seen him since.
On her arrival to join him, she
was informed that although the
church recognizes marriage by
proxy, the state does not.
The couple will be married again
Friday in Holy Rosary Cathedral
here-and this time the bridegroom
will attend.

knowledge Of Acoustic Mines
Kept Secret q Year by British

The acoustic mines are said to be
touched of by sound waves from
the propellers Of passing ships, but
exactly how they have been master
ed still Is a secret.
A hint of how effective the new
mines were at first was given In an
article by the naval correspondent
of the Daily Herald.
He declared the magnetic mine
had been mastered, but said that
every day of the week ships were
blowing up from no apparent cause

hand. And Hollywood eventually
feels the 'Irnpact-to the tune of
several hundred original" scripts
pouring into their Offices each
month. If any of these parcels
are opened, it's only by accident.
Then, somebody is likely to get
fired. For Hollywood is painfully
plagiarism-shy Stories sent in by
unknowns are handled like red-hot
bricks, to be fired back to the senders
by very next post.
Look over studio production
schedules from one year to the next
and you'll never come across a
movie that springs from an un-
knowns mailed-in plot. Unknown
writers on rare occasions do get a
break but never by attempting to
deal directly with a studio via the
poStman.
Evidence continues to pile up that
the best way to sell a story to
a Hollywood producing company
is to- do something else with 1t first.
Most of the film product being
turned out in the movie capital is
of the original variety. That
is, it first appears as novel, short
story, serial, play or musical. The
films take it up from there. Many
bright young men and women are
employed in each studio scenario
department, but their job is to
make treatments" of purchased
works. Rarely DO they come up
with anything original that a studio
will gamble half million or more
dollars upon.
Judging by what Hollywood has
been putting on the screen in recent
months. it doesn't seem to make
any difference, either, whether pub
lished stories or produced plays are
old or new.
