was winding up his career as a
stooge to a radio comedian.
He tells the story on himself.
In New York City, he was be-
sleged by a group of grubby auto
graph hounds, who blocked his
path while they went into hud-
die. The subject of the conference
was whether or not they wanted
his signature. Ultimately the de-
cision was in his favor but
largely because he was Jack
Benny's neighbor. I'VE heard
you on the program last Sunday
night"
Colman is Benny's neighbor in
fact as we'll as on the air. He speaks
warmly of the comedian, thinks
that Benny handled the program
with tact and delicacy - in a
manner that preserved Colman's
traditional British dignity with
out making him sound stuffy..
On Top Again
HE HAS reason to be grateful.
The radio program won him new
admirers. After an awkward ab-
sence from the screen, he is on top
again - favorite of a new genera
ton. and almost as clipper as
ever.
To be sure, he made a conces-
sion to his gray hairs, and played
a middle-aged man in The Late
George Apley." But he played it
with jauntiness that was miles
away from the proper Bostonian.
And there is a suggestion of Bull
dog Drummond in his newest role,
star of "A Double Life" As this is
written, he has received an Oscar
nomination for his work.
How long can he 60 on? 1t is
hardly a secret that he is getting
along. He wasn't exactly in his
teens when he first hit Hollywood,
and a quarter of a century is a
long time for anyone to play the
dashing hero.
On the other hand, his durabil-
ity amazes even his intimates.
His figure is youthful, his speech
buoyant, his manner alert.
In 1888 he was resigned to a
wind-up of his movie career. From
Madrid, whittier he had fled for
stock-taking and rueful contem-
plation, he issued a statement
filled with WEAKNESS and resigna-
ton. Il shall never make pictures
in Hollywood again, he an
nounced with a sigh. II have
reached the age where a man
should work at what interests him,
and only when he wants to-" That

structing smoke cloud to get
clear view of Colman.
II wonder" he said, and dis
appeared behind the smoke screen
again.
If the agent had been in a less
quizzical mood. he would be a
rich man today on his 10 per cent.
Not long afterward, Henry King,
the director, saw Colman in a
minor role on Broadway and
signed him up j just like that -
to play opposite Lillian Gish in
THE White Sister" The picture
made him star.
A Screen Record
lHAT was in silent days. Mr..
Colman became the screens most
romantic hero, and its most endur-
ing one. His earnings at one time
topped any other actors. The time
was ripe. Valentino was dead of
a ruptured ulcer, and John Gil
bert of a broken heart. Colman
stepped bravely into their shoes
and wore them for a quarter of
a century a screen record
that no one will ever be able
to excel.
The shoes are beginning to
pinch, perhaps. Two years ago it
seemed as if the interminable
career were coming to a close.

there was nothing obvious about
the way it moved. IT 1t had

world would have known whom to

admit notice, was enough to do
The trick. And whose fault is it
now? Mine, of course. But tell
YOU that table did it. It's always

Friends who enjoy his TRADES
Mot to inspire them. Mr.. Colman
Is creature of habit - the solid
Enplishman. He will not smoke
cigarette before one o'clock, and
will not take a drink before five.
~Dashed Pebbles"
Hrs friends make a point of in
weighing him into a situation IN
which he is surrounded by guzzlers
at the hour of four. Mr.. Colman
watches the conviviality moodily,
hut will not surrender his prin-
chile. At about four-forty-five ne
launches into a harangue on the
evils of the early cocktail, which
he delivers with one eye on the
clock. On the dot he cuts short
his speech and downs a drink.
Even in his. dourest moods,
however, Mr.. Colman will admit
that inanimate objects are not
always against him. They are
sometimes on his side, but he still
complains. He does not like to
have his life ''ruled by dashed
pebbles and things"
A loose stone, to hear him tell
it, was directly responsible for his
Hollywood career. He was in ac-
ton at Ypres in World War l
when he stumbled over the stone,
falling down a declivity and break
ing an ankle. He sat the rest OF
the war out as a clerk in the War
Office in London, saw a lot of
shows, and conceived the ambi-
ton to become a professional
actor.
Years later, a Hollywood studio
released a story to the effect that
his ankle had been shattered by
enemy fire. Colman denied it with
as much heat as if he had been
maligned. 1T was a most igno-
minious episode, if you must
know" he told the press. 1T could
have happened stepping off a bus
at Charing Cross"
Be that as it may, his injury led
to a stage career, and this career
brought him to Broadway in 1920.
His assets when he landed were

PRESENT ECONOMIC

Historically the growing
and processing of sugarcane in
st. Croix and the business of
the splendid harbor in st.

economy Of the Virgin Islands
During the war period mill
tary activities and related civ
ilian enterprises as well as the
unprecedented expansion of
the manufacture of rum were
new factors Of temporary
character stimulating the To-
cal economy.
The closing of the United

activities in the community.
The end of the wartime de-
mand for rum following the
accumulation of large inven-

the time being, so that this in

ANNUAL REPORT
of the GOVERNOR Of the
VIRGIN A
To the Secretary Of the
Interior
WILLIAM H. HASTE
Govornor
Governor

Because the Virgin Islands
OF the United States lie at a
distance from the mainland
and because they have been
part of the United States for
only some 80 years, most
people in the United States
know very little about this
insular possion. Relatively few
publications about the Virgin
Islands are readily available
to those who wish informa-
ton about the islands. Ex-
perience shows that many per-
sons refer to the annual re-
port of the Governor not only
for data on current operations
of government, but also in an
effort to obtain general infor-
nation about the community.
Despite this fact, it has seemed
undesirable to burden each
annual report with any large
amount of such general infor-
nation.
In 1910 Gov. Lawrence w.
Cramer prepared and submit
ted a detailed annual report
containing a very uesful and
Informative compendium Of
historical and general data
covering the entire period of
American sovereignty of the
Virgin Islands. No similar ma

What is a human right +?

what is a human right ?
1t is an attempt to define an
essential attribute OF the hui
man personality, to make this
attribute sacred, and to give
a constitutional and juridiccal
status.
AS soon as one passes from
the essential attributes of the
human personality to second
airy characteristics, one pas
ses out of the sphere of rights
properly defined. One may
have a right to live" but not
a right to have three meals a
day, since some communities
may be content with two
meals and some may demand
six.
In short. a right should only
establish those characteristics
without which a person is
not a person. but a mere bio.
logical organism or a slave.
So, far from extending the
list of human rights as set
forth in the eighteenth CEN
tury, / would propose, rather,
to limit their number and at
tempt to make them truly UNI
iversal. Every attempt to elab-
crate human rights is in fact
a covert effort to give a con-
stitutional status to some spe-
cial and limited human enact
ment.
The following list of rights
is offered merely as an illustra
ton of the method and scope
of a new Bill of Rights.
|. Human life is sacred. The
right to live shall not be abrid-
ged, except under universally
acknowledged terms Of law
and Justice These These terms snail
be difned by a world court
and established by the United
Nations. Positively, the right
to live constitutes a claim for
access to the land and the in
struments Of production, or to
their economic equivalents.
2. The right TO form a fami-
lY and to propagate the race is
sacred subject only to such
regulations as may be design

8. Every human being has
the right to continued growth
and development. up to the IL
nit of his capacities, This right
constitutes a claim to school
ing, to access to libraries and
other institutes Of culture, and
to association in freedom with
others for the purposes of
study, research, work, play,
political action or worship.
4. Every human being. since
he is born into society. has the
right not only to form new as
sociations that do not repro
sent his interests or futher his
welfare. No state shall abridge
the right of two or more peo-
pie to form associations, corp

when the purposes of such as

man welfare, as defined by a
world court. The state may,
however, require all associa-
tions, beginning with the fam

and to abide by regulations de-

Negro churchessat Longsville WIFI
oh were burned recently. Accord
ing to C. w. Sherlock, Monroe

residents of the county and Lo-

The churches and a Negro Sc
hool house were mysterious1y set

arrested Isaiah Grimes, a Negro,
as the arsonist, but the man has
been tried as Yet, and later dem

Walton county is the site where
four Negroes were lynched in

funds were raised, the citizens
group would purchase two 500
