Then she ses to me Joe ! want
to go to the Browns again to-
night and ses what for7 ses
wasn't you bored enough the
other night without going back
for more? I ses that Mickles n
the worst dope In Brooklyn and
Ethel ses I want to 20 just the
same. I want to collect some
evidence and then I am going
to report Piggy Brown to the
government.
Sugar Hoarder
I ses what has Piggy done
Sweets? Ethel ses she II .
sugar hoarder. That stuff IN
those buckets isn't salt at all.
1t is sugar. I ses Is sugar good
to put out fires with? Ethel ses
don't be silly Joe. She hasn't
got that sugar for fires but for
herself to put In Mickles coffee
when you and other fellows are
suffering for IL.
She doesn't think anybody win
ever catch on that 1t is sugar IN
the buckets but I have sus-
pected her from the first.

concerning the merits
OF KINGS ROW"
Some find il firing and heavy,
and insist the picture shouldn't
have been Vaudeville others
rate il a screen masterpiece and
one Of the best films OF any
year.
II any one cares, and see no
reason why any one should, l
will have TO side with the latter
group. Because l honestly be-
leve that director Sam Wood
and writer Casey Robinson
have combined to bring us a
great emotional experience in
KINGS ROW" a fine and
completely absorbing m otion
picture.
Never has Ann Sheridan been
anywhere near as good, never
in their lives have Ronald Rea-
gan, Claude Rains, Betty Field
or Judith Anderson turned in
performances that rank with
those they deliver here. KINGS
ROW" is no ordinary movie.
and it is certainly not for the
Riddles. But I think IL is great
drama, strange and compelling.
and ! feel il will live in the
memory OF all those who sec it.
Marlene Superb
Marlene Dietrich and Fred
MacMurray are co-starring
combination in THE LADY IS
WILLING" and an intriguing
combination ii Is, too. The
story. which starts out briskly
and continues neatly in a sophis-
ticated vein, grows a bit sickly
toward the end.
But Marlene contributes SO
much In this one that her fans
aren't going TO care how the
yarn ends. The Dietrich lady
is really good here, and to her
must 60 the credit for whatever
financial success THE LADY
is WILLING" will achieve.

Sugar Hoarder
Unfounded Suspicion

I ses Ethel ! don't like snoop-
ing about peoples houses and she
ses Joe Turp you have to do
your duty as a citizen and re-
port hoarders like the Browns
so lets go over there and I will
collect the evidence.
Then we went TO the Browns
again and was there quite
awhile and every time I looked
up Ethel was monkeying around
one Of the buckets and when
we were going home she SEES well
I have got it Joe. I have got
the evidence in all my pockets
and I Sos baby l still don't ap-
prove OF shopping but go as far
as YOU like with Mickles. Then
pretty soon Ethel pulled some
of the white stuff out Of her
pocket and tasted IL and spit it
out and ses why Joe IL Is really
salt and not sugar after all.
l ses we'll then your evidences
Is no good and Piggy is not q
sugar hoarder and Ethel ses Joe
maybe there's any law against
boarding salt.
Yours truly

Wayne County Deserves
Modem Government

livery registered voter in Michigan should be inter-
l. ested the home rule amendment for Wayne County
Detroit should support it with special fervor
They should go of their way necessary to sign
the petitions which will put the amendment the state
ballot next fall They should consider this civic duty
of the first importance
Detroit and Wayne County citizens have in care
way been aware for years that their county govern
rent was unwiedy and old-fashioned and expensive
With the typical axy of American voters they did moth
ing about it beyond occasional grumblngs.
Not until revelation of the current scandals in the
county building hit them in the face did they awaken to
the need for action The home rule amendment Will afford
them an opportunity for decisive action of the most
remedial sort
NIoW the mere fact high county officials have been
disclosed grafers and bride takers, does not of
itself prove the ineciency of present county govern
ment.
That proof grows of the admitted fact that the
corruption has fourished year after year and that
succeeded in fourshng because governmental author
y in Wayne dffuse and tangled that there never
head man compact body or administrators
vested with sufficient legal power to stop 1t.
The home rule amendment provides for chief execu-
tive and legislative council of not more than Il mem
bers replace the topsturvy Board of Supervisors with
membership of nearly 100 1t provides also for county
civil service and nonpartisan elections
A DRAWN it is not perfect document ft>is
Z subject to revision however, by charter commits
sion be elected by the people of the county to write the
ultimate draft of the home rule charter.
And in its present outline it is such great inn
provement creakng and cumbersome form OF
county that it merits the approval of
public minded citizen.
For nearly decade The Detroit Times has urged the
people of Michigan to take steps to modernize their
extravagant and outmoded governmental machinery.
The Detroit Times feels the Wayne County home rule
amendment is splendid first move.
If is approved at the polls next fall it should be
incentive to bringing other county governments and
the state government up to date
1t won't go on the ballot though unless nearly 100000
registered Michigan voters sign the petitions.
Be you sign if you desire decent economical
and effective government.

Keep Dies Committee

A USTRALIA with her back to the wall, is not blind
"A to the postwar plotting that is going under the
guise of war-necessity.
Arthur W. Fadden, former prime minister charges
that "a section of the Australian government is attempt
ing to use the national emergency for the specialization
of industry"
IL fully appreciate i'm wartime" Mr.. Fadden says,
"the great of naturalization necessary. 1t
appears however that the trend to naturalization
to achieve SPECIALIZATION"
WHAT is true of Australia is true on larger scale
w here in America.
No one questions that during present crises the
government and the President must be invested with
plenary powers to the country.
But there unquestionably blocs of New Dealers
and still radical planners" in Washington and else
the conversion of the United States when the psychology
cal moment arrives from naturalization into sociaza-
ton"
That there are thousands persons employed in the
government service who interested in transform
ing into "socialized" country than in winning
that being fought to preserve personal and property
rights has been time and time again by the charges
submitted to President Roosevelt and Attorney General
Biddle by Chairman Martin Dies of the congressional
committee investigating un-Amer1can activities-and
about which nothing much has been done.
THIS revolutionary bloc engaged recently in trying
to prevent the appropriation for the continuation of
the Dies committee.
1t wants to obterate that committee as first step
in the scheme to merge present naturalization into
state Specialization
Naturally those engaged in this almost reasonable
enterprise to remain hidden Tin their obs) from the
proddng questions of the Dies committee.
THIS is real danger that confronts us as it does

Leqa|ize. Tax Bookmakers,
End Deceit. Runyan Says
BY DAMON RUNYON

7 SAY there is more hypocrisy
L in this country about gam
bling than there was about
prohibition.
A lot of states are legal part
nerS in the gambling enterprise
of betting on horse races, yet
those same states, of which View
York is one, object to any bet
ting outside the race tracks and
in fact make it a criminal
matter.
Now you know very we'll that
there are many distinguished
citizens, including public Of
ficials, who pay no more atten-
ton to that taboo than they did
to the ban on booze during the
prohibition era.
THEY call up their favorite
l. bookmalser away from the
race tracks and make their bets.
just as they called up their
favorite bootlegger in prohibit
ton days and ordered their nose
paint, well knowing that in
dealing with the bookie they
are conniving in violation of
the law to the same extent that
they connived in trafficking with
the bootie.
If taking bets outside a race
track is criminal, then those who
make the bets are just as GRIM
inal as those who take them.
The layer, or bookmaker, could
not survive without the player
any more than the bootlegger.
could have survived without the
patronage of the rum guZZlers.
And neither the bootlegger nor
the bookmaker could ever have
existed for any length of time
without corrupt officials.
THUS. as the liquor buyer OF
l. prohibition times was respon-
sible for great venality among
officials, so is the citizen who
bots with bookmakers outside
the race tracks responsible for
the importing OF the morals Of
those officials who take the
book'e's couch for permitting
him TO operate and il all goes
bacl; to the current hypocrisy
th2t says gambling in one form
is I'll right, and in another all
wron~.
The gambling that takes place
inside the tracks is almost iden-
tically the same kind Of gam

Letters to
the Editor
TO THE EDITOR:

THE American public must be
l. protected against unfa r
prices in the used tire market,
so Leon Henderson's organiza-
ton issued a standard price on
tires.
Prices were TO be based &C.
cording TO the condition of the
tire. Are the used tire dealers
cooperating with the govern
ment?
Go shopping for a tire and
see for yourself. You can't buy
a good tire for SO. Sure, it has
treads on it, but il will also
have a cut or be vulcaniZed.
Before government prices went
into effect the dealers had swell
tires from $50 up.
The only way TO get good
tire now. without a ration card,
is 10 buy one from a private
owner and the sky is the limit
when it comes TO price.
What is going to stop our
clever tire dealers from selling
their good tires as private
owners?
