l what the quotation is and if the country needs the main lines, the ■ Laguardia-McKeon bill will have lo ;be hurried through. They are not bluffing and most people realize | that now. For some reason fewer bills are j being introduced in the 1933 sess- j I ion of the General Assembly and ,we have an idea its because the ■ , word has gone out that little time j will bo devoted to any thing except j those measures designed to be j j helpful. Usually by this time there lave five hundred Dills in the hop-I per. but only about one-third that j number have so far been offered. I It's a good sign. — Ogden Mills may be a smart felI low. He has that reputation and .we don't doubt it. but there is I probably no one in the whole Hooi ver crowd of officials who will be ' any happier to see March 4th roll ; around so he can lay down his i i burdens.

'job with faith and confidence —and; 1 lie'll do it. — As it has been since a civilized U workl undertook government, we t I hear objections to every form of j i tax offered and tHere is much merit < ito the objections, but we seem to j overlook the fact that there must |be some kind of taxes if we are to . I progress and be governed. Its absolutely the right and wise thing to reduce expenditures and to i abolish any unnecessary offices land the expenses pertinent therej to, but when we ge beyond that we are only making the ultimate reI covery of this county, state and! | nation, the more difficult. When j we stop building we put men out j of work, when we discbatige men we stop their buying power, when ! we think only of liow cheaply we | can live, we give aid to the de-j pression.

By HARRISON CARROLL. CowMrtl 1933. King F«atbMs Syndicate. Ine. HOLLYWOOD, , -Hollywood continues to shatter the old tradition that a woman can’t have oahies and a career, too. ■ Take the latest case—Helen i- . Twelvetrees. She has a 3-months-old son, / yat she has just it* ', % signed a contract with Para- • T mount ard will jk go right from .■ the Chevalier picture into “Pojlfj lice Surgeon,” fepr opposite Ricardo , 'P Cortez. In doing this, :— Helen isn't sac-H-l-n rificing any of T welvetree, her obligations as Mrs. Jack V\ oody. That is another side of her life. Like Norma Shearer, Gloria Swanson, Joan Bennett and dozens of other Hollywood mothers, she finds time for work as well as for i home life. True, the film mother has more money to hire nurses, rnoks. honsr servants. But her problem is essentially the same as the ordinary woman. And. in countless cases, I she is solving it satisfactorily. Kate Smith wires from Kansas j City that she doesn't know whether to be insulted or not. Walking along the train plat form, .she heard the engineer re- I mark, “ Well, we finally got her over the mountain, but it took two ' engines to do it.” HOLLYWOOD PARADE: Strange are the ways of coincidence.

The other day Jean was in a beauty parlor when she heard a voice in the next booth: “I know Jcar, Harlow wears a wig because my sister makes them for her.” Poking her head around the corner, Jean said: "Pm so glad to meet the sister of my wig-maker and will you tell her I just came in and had the darned thing washed.” Come March and Nancy Carroll will be going to Europe.

You figure out why it happened, but a Carmel theatre actually advertised “Congress Dances” as a story of Washington night-life. . . . Rather funnv, the trick Paramount is playing on those alligators. They wanted 20 of teem for “Murder in the Zoo.” but it seems that alligators sleep from October to April. Undaunted, the studio has been raising the temperature of the water in their tank at the rate of a quarter of a degree an hour. When it reaches 75, the alligators will think it', spring and will act for the camera. . . Ronald Colman has four or five days added scenes to make on "The Masquerader."

SYNOPSIS Sam Perkins. Dr. Montague Threadgold’s bottle boy, meets his employer's latest assistant. Dr. John VVolfe on the latter’s arrival at little Navestock in a wet winter dusk. Sam notes mentally that the new doctor’s luggage is very light as he conducts the stranger to the Threadgold house, where he meets Dr. Threadgold—chubby, sleek, sr.d “the most affable of men." Conducted to ! his top-story room, W r olfe swiftly recalls his seven years of work and study—how he earned his way by boxing exhibitions as a country fair "bruiser," as a tavern singer, and as a railroad laborer. And now. after all, Wolfe is almost penniless. At dinner. Wolfe impresses Dr. Threadgold's wife as a hungry, “raw gawk of a man . . . silent and sulky.” She is talking on medical training and mentions Sir Joshua Kermody, senior physician at Guy’s Hospital, as an ideal instructor. The meal is interrupted when Sir George Griggs. ; profane from pain, arrives with his j shoulder hurt after being thrown | from his hunter. The blustery baronet is infuriated over Dr.Threadgold’s dilatory diagnosis. Wolfe shows skill in stripping the coat off the hunt victim who turns lo the young doc- : tor and asks Wolfe to attend to him. CHAPTER FIVE "Look here—just take this on. 1 don t want to be fooled about any i longer.” , Wolfe glanced at Threadgold. The little man’s face looked pink i and suffused. His eyes were big behind his glasses. “If you care to let my assistant . examine you. Sir George " “Yes, I do." “Very well sir. very well. 1 have nothing more to say.” Threadgold pivoted round on one •heck-patterned leg. strutted to the nearthrug. pulled the lapel? 0 f his •oat forward, and stood with chest •xpanded. In five minutes Wolfe had Sir icorge Griggs stretched upon the u.fa. The surgeon had taken off his left boot and was sitting on the ■dge of the soft with his heel in he baronet's armpit. "I shall have to hurt you badly— 1 1 'or about ten seconds, sir.” “Go on I'm not a baby." "Catch hold of Mr. Ruston's hand. Nothing like something to grip. Now. hold on.” There was a moment of writhing. >f grim, clenched anguish as Wolfe pulled at the arm and worked at the dislocated shoulder. “In. That’s good.” “What—all over?” "Yes." The big man lay on the sofa and panted, while Mr. Ruston flapped his hand. ”1 say. that was a twisterl” t Ged—you gave me a squeezing." Get me a ‘peg.’ someone; it’s made me feel pretty funny " H«jwas sweating Dr. Threedgold turned and rang t.h« • “Head of thi bone was out was it?“ ’ '•Ves If yon ran sit up ( n a min. ute. sir. I’ll just see that everythin^ | is all right.” , Sir George sat up readily enough while Wolfe manipulated the left arm very gently anO made sure that the head of the bone back ip its norma! position. “Ves. that's ail right. *ir.“ "Sykes, a glass at brandy and watar. ’

L mechanic and a plumber J>y pro- t fe&siou. He, like a good many lias i found it hard to get work. He is the son in question. He asked ft>r the janitor job at the school house, . and not a job to drive a bus. Now i mind you a $35-a-month-joh. It wouldn't have been no time until j | a raise of wages would be demand- - ed. as the janitor must put in from lii to 13 hours a day in winter i j weather. Why should a janitor be ' fired when he is a day laborer, t ; I without any just reason, just to i I satisfy the man behind this j I scheme? Furthermore, Mr. reader, j I you w ill remember the brazen fals-, ihood you read about the extra bus ! driver. When H bus driver has taj ! have a driver to take his place for j ' a day, he hires his own substitute j and pays him out of his own pock- j * et. 1 have never hired a substitute , driver, neither have t paid anyone 1 I outside of the regular driver. 1 told j 'Mrs. .1 that If I hired one for any I kind of a job, there were a dozen ' ! others to get sore because they j ! could not all have a job too.

Dr. Threadgold lingered at the door. I say, sir, I am confoundedly obliged to you.” Wolfe smiled. “Oh. that’s all part of the campaign. 1 shall have to tie you up to keep that shoulder quiet. What about your forehead?” little gravelling, isn’t it?” “Yes, nothing serious.
