the Pyramid Club bubble burst. I
couldn't help overhearing their
conversation, which went some
thing like this:
First Girl-"Has your family
fallen for this Pyramid Club fool
ishness?"
Second Girl-"Are you kidding?
Fallen for it? Why, my dear.
they're in q tizzy over 1t. It's
frightful."
F. G.-"Frightful is rightful.
It's the same way at my house.
All they talk about is pyramids.
You'd thing they were Egyptians
or something"
s. G.-"Mother started it. Dad
held out at first. but finally came
in: then Bill joined. Mother was
on the phone for hours, trying to
get two people to JOIN. One was
all she could get, and that's when
she made daddy join. He called
up two or three people and
stopped; said it made him feel
silly. Theh Bill came home and
said he had Joined club where he

ple coming to our house to bring
their new members. That went
on for four straight nights, too."
S. G.-"Four nights in a row?
Horrors! How could you stand
it?"
That's just i'll couldn't.
It made me so dithery, I couldn't
do my home work. I just know
my grades are going to be simply
awful, but, my dear, how could I

F.. G.-"The parties were flops.
A lot of strangers trotting into the
house, sitting around and messing
things up. At my parties. we
dance: we don't just sit around
talking about pyramids and who
might join and a lot of foolishness
like that. We have fun"
More Checking Than Paying.

Motorboat Fines
Can Be Severe

Altering a federal document, in.
cluding a Motorboat Certificate OF
award of number issued by the
u. S. Coast Guard, without proper
authorization, is a. serious matter
and can result in severe fine and
Imprisonment, according to Com
modore yames A. Hirshfield, Com
mander of the 9th Coast Guard
District.
Cases come to the attention of
the Coast Guard where motorboat
owners have unlawfully changed
the information contained on their
certificates. Usually these chang
es are made in the motorboat's
year of build, with the probable
intention of deceiving prospec-
tive buyer into believing the boat
is not as old as it actually is, with
the expectancy of obtaining a bet
ter price for the boat.
The Coast Guard has no altern-
ative but to turn fraudulent cases
over to the U. S. District Attor-
ney for criminal prosecution. Prob
ably these cases would not occur if
such persons were aware of the
great rick they take in altering
certificates. However
if an owner feels that informa-
ton on his certificate is not cor
rect, proper procedure is to mail
the certificate with required infor-
nation, to 9th Coast Guard Dis
trict Headquarters in the Keith
Building, Cleveland Is, Ohio, for
review.

end. 1t has to be Holden, OF
course. in conformity with the
rule that heroes seldom die on the
screen.
Man From Colorado" Is an
honest enough picture TO avoid
comedy touches to relieve its basic
grimness. 1t does not have time
for the petrif1ed gags which creep
into most pictures of its kind.
Its emphasis is rather upon the
characters of its principal males, a
pair whose conflict adds drama
to the excitement of Colorado's
unruly topography. These two are
rugged duelists who fight 1t out
in a series of standard horseback
pursuits. angry courtroom scenes,
and an occasional calm aside when
Miss Drew is the prize at stake.
Only once does the screen play
go for spectacle and then on a
modest scale when Col. Ford Or
ders Denver burned to the ground
in a At of jealousy. A less ex-
pensive houlacast the movies have
not seen since the economy wanes
began.
The one notable feature of the
casting of Man From Colorado
is that it brings Miss Drew back as
the girl. She is far too pretty to
have been out of work this long.
