If you like interesting stories, be sure to start “I Take This Woman’’ in today’s paper. It's a thriller and will keep you watching for the next copy. ,j The Republicans in the senate are attacking the “F. I).

Well, whatever the weather is from now on into spring, we will all admit it has been a rather decent winter up to date and the first half is always the toughest.

Better get in on it and save the " fifty cents. *• We would still like to see arrangements completed for dragg- ~ ing the river and building a dam „ orth of town.

All pro-1 coeds, over and above actual expenses, such as employing tile orchestra and members of the floor show, go towards the Warm Springs Foundation. The endowment of this institution will aid many a crippled child and even if ( you don't dance or play bridge you can purchase a ticket and help in a humanitarian way. If you have suggestions for public work that will keep the five hundred people at work in this, county, it is yottr duty to offer it l to the county managers. There' should be some improvements, made that will be permanent and by all means we must provide some work for the men who will be otherwise unemployed. If we get over the next three months, it is quite probable that general conditions will provide employment. Local plans are being made for the observance of the 21st birthday anniversary of the Boy Scout movement. In this city there are I four troops and scout executives | are arranging for au appropriate birthday party. It’s a cause which every parent and public spirited citizen can support heartily. The scout movement is designed solely for the building of fine manhood and it's the exceptional case where a scout ever goes wrong. J. L. Garvin, writing for the Loe- 1 don Observer says Roosevelt will succeed because of his good sense, courage and political audacity. While he admits the sweeping sta- 1 < tistics offered recently by the Am-' erican president in ‘proclaiming l . ami vindicating, the most gigantic deficit in the record of budgets," i he also says the debt then will be no larger than the English debt and with three times as many to • pay it and they "bead for head, better off on the average." He predicts that in the next few years, the United States will recover ali the former supremacy in economic, power and individual welfare by comparison with any other single! nation. And coming from London,' that’s some boost. Job : Dillinger, notorious bandit and three of his cohorts are captured. police rounding them up at ■ Tucson. Ariz. The country breaths I ' a sigh of relief to know that these i hoodlums are now locked up. They] will be placed in the Indiana state prison and in all probability murd-j er charges, carrying the death pen-' alty will be filed against them., , Among those captured was Charles Makley, who in 1928 helped rob the Linn Grove bank. All except I, Dillinger escaped from Michigan City prison last September and Dillinger was delivered from the Lima. Ohio, jail by several of his ; , gang. The sheriff was killed in 1 the jail break.

the only one who i s deliberately l training his youngster to be- I come a movie actress. The rugged star, whose film I ■work has car- I ried him from I obscurity to within speaking distance of a million dollars, I makes no secret of his ambitions I for his 3%-year-old adopted daughter.

“I am raising Carol Ann to he an actress, he says. "She is too young now, but I am instilling the idea m her head and I am bringing her up around a studio.” This is strictly true, for whenever Wallie appears on the M-G-M lot, Carol Ann tags along behind. She has been on the set every day during the filming of “Viva Villa’’ and, to anyone who'll listen, she’ll tell in childish treble, that she is going to be a movie actress some day. The usual elegant Josef Von Sternberg, armed with a gas mask and a fire extinguisher, the other night dashed into a projection room I filled with the acrid fumes of burning film and squirted out a blaze that might have destroyed the working print of “Scarlet Empress” and gutted the entire operator's booth. I With Marlene Dietrich, the director was looking at the picture when the flames broke out. He rushed into the hall, grabbed the emergency equipment and had the fire under control before the projectionist could get into action. Because of his snappy work, the 1 heat didn’t even turn on the automatic sprinkling system and only 1000 feet of film were destroyed. Jimmy Durante's father, a grand old man, was a barber for many years. The other day at Fox he met Irving Caesar and Irving told him what a swell fellow Jimmy is. The old man was tickled to death. In a burst of gratitude, he leaned over and patted Irving on the shoulder. “Here,” he said, “let me trim your hair a little.” Francis Lederer, with his talk of world peace, constantly amazes the other cinema celebs, who wonder if it’s all a gag. But Lederer is deadly serious about his hobby. He has opened an office at *5715 Hollywood Boulevard and keeps a secretary there to explain the movement to anyone that is interested. Arrange-

r r%~r> ments are now under way for the Czecho-Slovakian actor’s several fan clubs to open branch offices. — — Hereafter, you will never be able to convince Mrs. Benjamin Headley, of Swedesboro, N. J., that all • those unpleasant stories about Hollywood are true. Coming down on the train from San Francisco the other day, Mrs. Headley recognized and spoke to Colleen Moore. They had a long talk and the visitor from New Jersey confessed she had heard some terrible things about the movie people. Being a swell person and proud of her profession, Colleen forthwith started a missionary campaign. When the train arrived in Los Angeles, she not only took Mrs. Headley through the R. K. O. studio but invited her out to her home for tea. QUICK GLIMPSES: Latest lowdown on the Mae Clarke-Sidney Blackmer romance is this. Sidney says: “I have asked Mae to marry me, but she has turned me down. I hope it is because of her absorbing interest in her work and that, some day, she may change her mind.” Universal wishes that Margaret Sullavan would let the studio know her new address and telephone number. . . . Not satisfied with movies alone, Virginia Peine Lehman, estranged wife of the Chicago department store magnate, is now planning to do footlight work for the Pasadena Community Playhouse. . . . After dashing by airplane to the bedside of his sick wife in New York, Edmund Goulding probably will be able to stay only a few days

with her. . . . Shirley Grey had kleig eyes—and from posing for still photos, of all things.... Strange place, Hollywood. Until two months ago, Marjorie Lytell was under contract to Warners. When they failed to take up her option, she said: ’ “I’ll get another job in picture* and I’ll have to go back to New

Latham, of the department of English at McGill Univerj sity. Prof. Latham made some very deli ite statements in regard to the ' use of slang when asked to comment on press dispatches describing 1933 as a remarkable year for the coining of new words. : 'Most people," he said, “are shocked when a university professor puts forth a defense of the use iof slang. Shakespeare probably used more slang expressio ’s than ■ any other outstanding English ? writer. These are many slang ex- ' pressions in the writing of Spenc- ! er. “The use of slang indicates that a language is in a particularly ; formative period. The American language, if there is such, is now at about the same stage as English was at the time of Shakespeare. ■ "Canadians as a whole, may be | classified as purists in the way of. I English. It is difficult to point to any recent slang that can be described as genuinely Canadian. Tho two countries today that are the most prolific in the production of slang English expressions are the United States and Australia. “In general, it may be said that there is a tendency today towards the standardizatio ’ of any given language. This is because the radio and other means of national and international discouse makes it necessary for speakers and writers to express themselves so that they may be understood over a wide area." Professor Latham does not think that slang endangers a language. Most expressions are dropped in a comparatively short time he believes. Only such slang words or expressions as are peculiarly approi priate in describing a given situation or idea remain. As to when to use slang. Prof. Lathan said that there was no substitute for common sense. A garbage collector would not look well iin a dress sui|. In the same way, he said, the use of slang must be confined to appropriate times ajd occasions. — *’ Phil Schiefcrstein of route 7, Decatur, renewed the subscription to hi.s paper, Friday.

Several of these plants, while old-timers so X r as existing in cultivation s I concerned, are so old that they - new to most gardeners. TW are i worth tryt-’g out as a matter of tC A S St a specimen plant or small group, or for growing as a pot plant as a porch ornament, the Daturas, with their great white and creams yellow trumpets, deliciously fragrant, will prove interesting. A re ative of the jimson weed, they have none of its ill-favored characteristics except the "thorn apple" seed pod. The foliage Is more delicate i and the flowers delightfully fragrant. Neither are they rank growers, such as the despised weed. Known us Angel’s Trumpet and Horn of Plenty to old-fashioned gardeners, these plants are now seldom see?. The Angel's Trumpet has snowy white flowers within purplish tinting on the exterior. It conies single, double and triplate, the first hav|ing a single trumpet, the second a i trumpet within a trumpet and the I .hird three, ore within one. Goldjen Queen Datura has creamy yelI low blooms and is usually a little 1 larger flowered than the white. ( They make well branched plants I about two feet in height and sometimes are grown for greenhouse ornamentation. They like a light soil. The butterfly pea, Cemiresema, is another unusual plant, a vine making a growth of about six feet In a season, and a free bloomer. The blossoms are from an inch and a halt to two and a half inches ia diameter and carried in peculiar position on the stem. They are peculiarly marked and have shades of reddish violet to a red purple, marked and feathered with white. This plant always attracts interest. Another peculiar plant and valuable for wiuter bouquets is the I Russian statice, Statice Suwerowi. This plant, an annual, has leaves i which lie in a rosette flat upon the ground and sends up a branching spike some two feet tall of densely packed small rose pick flowers. It has been much used recently as a greenhouse annual, but grows very easily as a garden annual. The Japanese maize, Zea Japonica, a relative of the corn, is much admired as a foliage plant by those familiar with it. Some years ago it was seen much oft? or than it is now and was frequently nsed in clumps in borders or for separate: beds where a striking foliagle . fleet was desired. It is a grass of strong growth, reaching a height of about four feet. The leaves are striped yellow.' green, rose and crimson. Anyo e i desiring an unusual plant in the —■ ■'
