HOLLYWOOD, May 21% want to take time out today for a tribute to one of the film colony's most worthwhile enterprises. the Holly wood Studio Club. This institution was founded 90 years ago, when tt became evident that something should be done to provide satis- factory housing for the many un- married girls who were coming here to work in various movie jobs.
 Through the donations of high salaried Hollywoodites and with the help of the YWCA, a $200, 900 build ing, capable of accommodating 100 girls was erected. Further donations furnished 1t, gave 1t one of the finest private libraries in Los An- geles and provided it with complete entertainment facilities. It has ale ways been operated on a 1lon-pront basis. Today, with living costs at an all-time high, the Studio Club still charges girls fortunate to live there only $0.50 a week for Q pri- vate room and two meals Q day.
 During the 90 years of it's ex- istance, it has been home to . to- tai of 25,000 girls, many of whom used it as their first stepping stone to Hollywood success. Among these are ZaSu Pitts, Maureen O'Sul- nvan, Virginia Gilmore, Donna Reed, Linda Darnell, Barbara Brit ton, Ann Richards, Evelyn Reyes and Janet Blair. Avn Rand, author of 'The Fountainhead," wrote her first play while living there.
 Hollywood is proud of the Stu dio Club, and it has cause to be, for it is one of the most practical philanthropies ever conceived. One, incidentally, that should be copied in every big city.
 Alberta Vaughn, once 8 top- hatcher in silent films, was recently sentenced to six months in jail for drunk driving. Has she been un- known, Miss Vaughn'S case would have received little attention from the press, but since she is a ex-Star, it was reported in headlines. Ethic- ally of course, the unusual amount of publicity given her offense is un- fair, and I presume that she is bet- terly resentful. I'd like to suggest to her @ different viewpoint. It's quite possible that the headlines given her case may cause other bon viv- ants to think, before atempting to mix gasoline and alcohol. Such thinking may save a few lives that otherwise would be lost in this years traffic holocaust. If so, Miss Vaughn is entitled to the dubious consolation of being @ valuable example"
 For six months, the Hollywood grapevine" has been buzzing with rumors that the Angela Lansbury- Richard Cromwell marriage was folding, and for six months Crom- well and Miss Lansbury have been indignantly denying the reports. Now Angela has dropped the pre-

Boil Weevi| Shows
Sharp Increase

A sharp increase in the Missis-
sippi boil weevil infestation during
the past week is announced by the
State Plant Board today. Exami-
nations by Board inspectors and
Federal entomologists on 248 farms
in 80 counties showed 1874 infested
with an average of 33 percent
punctured squares which compares
with 10 percent last week and %
percent on this date last year. The
average on all farms was ~ percent,
or double the infestation last week.
Fourteen farms, all infested, were
examined in Holmes county, with
from one to 81 percent i~nfestation
reported.
In addition, the Delta and Pine
Land Company in Bolivar county
reported 30l fields examined, all
infested, with infestation ranging
from 2 percent to 70 percent and
averaging II percent. A report from
the Peoples Bank g. Trust Company
of Lee county showed Al fields, all
infested, ranging from 5 to 80 per-
cent and averaging Is percent.
Showery conditions are existing
in several sections of the state, and
Clay Lyle, entomologist of the Board
states that there is little probability
that the weevil infestation will be
reduced by the weather this season.
Poisoning is needed in nearly all
sections of the state except in the

Dental Hygienist
Added To Staff

We are glad to announce that the
Holmes County Health Department
has finally succeeded in adding to
ctaff a Dental Hygienist, Miss
Marie Rutledge. She will give to
Holmes County one fourth of her
time-the first week in each month,
beginning this week first week in
August). The other three fourths of
her time will be given to Leflore,
Sunflower and Humphreys Counties
For the present, and until the
schools open and are organized, she
will have her clinics at our several
Health Centers over the County. A
permanent schedule will be announ-
ced later.
Since her work will be preventive
dental care and education, she will
devote her time mainly to the chill
dren entering school for, the first
time this fall. It is a thoroughly
established fact that we need educ
alton along this line of Dental Care
and especially preventive dental
care more than any other kinds Of
defects. The old adage that a stitch
in time saves nine is no more appli-
cable in anything than in dental
care. The idea that some mothers
have, that temporary OF baby teeth
need no dental care because they
will shed them soon, is a great mis-
take. The dentists will tell you that
proper care of baby teeth has much
to do with making permanent teeth
better.
1t is hoped the mothers will take
full advantage of this dental pro-
gram. We would like to say in con
nection with this program, as has
been announced before, that the
State and the various clubs of the
County have provided money to pay
the dentist for taking care, of the
dental needs of childrn whose par
ents are not able to do so. This part
of the program has been in effect
for more than a year and a consid-
cradle number of children have been
served by the dentists Of Holmes
County, and l want to say to their
eternal credit that not a bill has
been rendered. When asked for al
bill the reply has always been: oh,
we are willing and anxious to do a
certain amount of that kind of work
we want to help out. If it gets too
heavy we will render a bill
So that leaves no excuse for your
not having your little fellows den
tai needs taken car of. If you are
able, OF course you will want to
have it done and pay for it. If you
are not able the State Clubs and
Dentists want to have it done for
you.

Wilmington Advises
OF Vets Bill
Says Disabled Vets
Should Be
Treated Equally

The remarks of Representative
Will M. Wilmington opposing unan-
imous consent for the passage with
out debate of a bill to appropriate
$500. to buy automobiles for vet
Grams who had lost their legs may
be found in the Congressional Rec
ord of Wednesday, July 81, 1916, on
Page A-4909.
Representative Wilmington in
sisted that il was unfair to provide
for those who had lost their legs
without providing for those who
had lost their arms and for those
who had lost their eyes.
The statement Of Rep. Whiting
ton in regard to the bill follows.
4 opposed on yesterday an unan-
imous consent request for the pass
age without debate of at controver-
sial bill just reported authorizing
the Veterans Administration to ex-
pend $500. in buying an automob-
lie for all world War two veterans
who had lost one or both legs above
the knee or had lost the use of n
or both legs on the ground that such
a bill involving the expenditure Of
of some $50, 000, 900. should be care
fully considered; that consideration
should be given to other veterans
who had lost one or both eyes or one
or both arms, or who had otherwise
been totally disabled, that if exist
ing generous compensation and
| other benefits were not sufficient
for the welfare of ampurees and
other totally disabled veterans, esp
ecially those who had lost both eyes
and both arms, all should have con-
sideration in providing additional
benefits, and that a definate policy
respecting automobiles should be
thoroughly explored, and if finally
adopted should be extended to other
similar totally disabled veterans.
Frankly I am doubtful that buying
automobiles for those unable to
drive with no provision for repairs,
operation, maintenance, or replace
ments, with barely a quorum pres
ent in the closing hours of congress
and with out careful consideration
and investigation, will promote the
best interests of amputees. l believe
in equal treatment of all veterans
/ with similar disabilities. / have sup
ported and will continue to vote
for all benefits and compensations
to the well being of all wounded or
disabled veterans.

New Holmes Well
Attracts Attention

The recently announced location
of the well to be drilled by the Mid
Continent Development Company
nj Holmes County has attracted the
oil mems interest to this area. The
location of this well is to be in the
Sc Sc 23-13N-3E, on the land of
Sam Hall, approximately one mile
south of Goodman.
This block was worked out and
the location was made by DR.. S.
Grossman, geophysicist with a nota-
bic reputation. DR.. Grossman has
been instrumental in opening up
several fields in the United States
that at the present time are consid-
cred some of the best fields yet
located.
The derrick for the MIDI Continent
Development Co. is being moved on
to the location at the present time.
Several oil men who the oil busin-
ess say that they bellevue this well
may prove to be n of the largest
and the best fields in the state. The
major oil companies are well repre-
sented in Holmes County and have
showed increased activity in recent
weeks as hardly a day goes by but
what you can G some of the shoot
ing or seismograph crews working
out this section of Holmes County.
More attention has been given
this location by the oil minded peo-
pie of this section than any well
that has been drilled for quite some
time. i.
