effort just now to make possible the employment of more people and at higher wages. To do any thing that makea it more difficult for them, is to make slower the restoration of eld fashioned good times. Sally Rand hasn't served that j jail sentence yet and we have a 1 hunch she never will. Just some' good advertising and in the meantime, the theater in which she is giving her fan dance is packed to the guards with people who are : crying hard times and high taxes. Can’t beat this country for inconsistency.. Bill Rogers is a clear thinker. He is for the farmer but not the strike, he is for the stockholder and also for the fellow who works.) Its more important that every I body eats than that some one ■ makes money and when it comes 1 to the President guaranteeing what congress will do, Bill says that; even a fortune teller wouldn’t risk a guess on that. The death of Ring Lardner will bring sadness to the hearts of millions who for many years have read I his stories and his columns with pleasure. Vlristling with good humor, quaint sayings and wisdom, he arose from an Indiana news reporter to one of the writers of the day. He brought smiles of joy to those who followed his smartly written paragraphs and any one who can do that day in and day out for a score or more of years, lias an unusual ability. Bids on thirty projects will be received by the state highway commission on October 10th. providing work and employment in almost every county in the state. It is a part of the program being worked out by the federal and state government to meet the unemployment situation and is a sensible one for it provides needed improvements that will help for years to come. The road from here to Wfllshire will be included, provided the necessary easements can be secured. Mrs. Machine Gun Kelly, whose daring husband is wanted in many cities and on various charges and who herself is indicted for murder, kidnaping and a few other major crimes, who was captured with her husband yesterday at Memphis, says she is through with crime and had for some time desired to break away, but was afraid of her bandit husband. No doubt she is worried, but its too late. Once emeshed in the crime ring, its impossible to get loose. Those who try it are found with a bullet hole through the head and so they go on until they are caught or slain. Mrs. Kelly probably realizes it yasn’t worth what she now must pay. o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Mrs. Leo Miller and babe arrive for visi‘ at Alva Nichols home. Mrs. F. M.

weod is in* trigued to learn that Sally has been raising vigorous protest over the picture they were supposed to do together. The disagreement has gone so far, in fact, that Sol Wurtzel has decided to let Claire Trevor have the feminine lead in “Jimmy and

Sally." I Here’s what Sally has to say about it: "My part was not as strong as Jimmy’s and if they are going to co-star us, I think our roles ought to be of equal importance. “I didn’t turn down the picture. I have been in bed most of the week, and I haven’t had a chance to talk it over with the studio.” Apparently, the studio has decided it isn’t necessary to talk it over any further—even if they have to change the title of the picture. Has it been printed before, Sammy Finn’s story of the gangster who | got in a jam in New Orleans and put in a long distance call to his attorney in Chicago’ The mouth-piece didn’t want to make the long trip, but finally weakened. “Have you got |5,000?” he I asked, j The gangster said yes. "Okay," snapped the attorney. “I’ll leave here tonigat with witnesses." For weeks, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has been seeking a child actress to . play Greta Garbo as a girl in “Queen Christina." After 200 chilI dren had been tested, Director Rouben Mamoulian lead little Cora Sue I Collins onto the set, dressed in regal 1 kobes. The youngster walked shyly up I to the Swedish star.

fessional insuiter, pulled his most audacious rib recently when he bearded the foreman of the Los Angeles grand jury. With everyone else in on the gag, they lead Vince into the grand jury room as a supposed witness in a $250,000 bond theft case. Dr. William A. Griffith, one-time chief auditor for the City of New York, was presiding. He asked Vince his name and Vince refused to give it. He also refused to be sworn in. Then, committing the ultimate act of lese majeste, he began to question the foreman. This was too much. Doctor Griffith called for • bailiff and was ordering Vince to be carried off to jail when fellow members explained the rib. QUICK GLIMPSES.
