Don't argue with a CWA worker that the President is wrong about giving them a job. Alter Harold McCormick gets through witli that breach of promise suit he should stay home and play with itis grandchildren in order to provide work it's a wonder some fellow hasn't propos-1 cd moving the national capitol from Washington Io some midwestern city. Old Senator Fall might have a word to say about the airplane con-! tracts and what should be done! with some of the boys who pulled | a few fast ones on the government.' Tlie ice is sliding away and the old sun made tilings look a little brighter. The only unpleasant thing over anticipations of spring is the thought of house cleaning time. Nationalism is the order of the day in the nation. Everything for America is a good policy. The same logic holds good in your coin-! uiuuity. We thought the nation was observing Lincoln's birthday, but it seems that some of the old timers thought it speech making day and time for finding fault with the President. Tlie call stems to be for a few able public-spirited citizens who! wish to serve on the city council for the next four years. So far no one has announced his . andidacy for these important posts. Councilmen truly render a public service, when it's considered they serve for • 1100 a year. Tlie CWA program will be continued and about 3,600,90(1 persons will In- employed up until May 1. Congress has approved the President's request for three and a half 1 illiou dollars to be spent on a civil works program up until that time and those who arc benefited will greatly appreciate the lift. Allen county has been forced to borrow 1150,000 in order to pay current operating expenses. The ■■■ is not unusual. Tax levies " ■ re reduced last year, every county bus considerable money tied up In closed banks and the wheels of government and public institution must carry on. In counties where

this condition does not exist, they can consider themselves most fortunate. It's more satisfactory for private F enterprise to carry on commercial business, but when these fellows t act like a bund of brigands, the government would be all wrong to •, stand by and let selfish business ex- ’• tract big profits from the people. 1 An individual would cancel a contract us soon as he learned that ho “ was being swindled, so why not j U the government? 9 1 Vienna and the little Austrian • nation is practically in a Meige of j war. Women and children have been ruthlessly killed and the whole tight seems to be over the question of Hitler and the Nazis giving Austria a new government. Man's greed causes more trouble Ilian fire and floods and in nearly every ease war is caused by some 1 despots desire to control things. As a result thousands of innocent men. women and children must suf- _ ter. i Every day there seems to boa tragedy of some sort that nearly ■ rocks the foundation of human sot cicty. The suicide pact carried out ; in Fort Wayne the other evening is I one case that's hard to fathom. 1 The perpetrators of the terrible 1 deed must have los: all faith and were despondent beyond words. A father, mother and one of their daughters died from gas. refusing to be consoled over the death of a daughter. Tragic indeed. A fellow is brave and does not I care what happens until he gets j | mto trouble and I ' thing he thinks of is trying to keep the episode out of the paper. Crime would flourish more than it does ifl’ it was not for the fear of publicity t , and the newspaper's interest in f 1 such cases is merely recording the t I happenings of the day. it's” Hie tin- c usual thats news and when sorne1> one goes hey wire the public wants ( , to read of it. Few counties held sales of delin- 1 quent taxes yesterday, the date lix- t ed by law and in places where the t sales were held few bids were re- . ceived. In this county the officials deemed it best not to advertise the taxes, giving taxpayers an additional opportunity to redeem their property. Their decision was sound i and reasonable, in view of the experience in counties where contrary action was taken. o TWENTY YEARS *' AGO TODAY I — From the Dally Demograt File !

By HARRISON CARROLL CopnlfM, 1934. Kin» Futurw SjuJieau. Ine. HOLLYWOOD. Calif. .— Officials of the Amateur Athletic I Union will be too hard-hearted if they refuse to retinstate Buster Crabbe because of that one credit line in “King of the Jungle." The aquatic star went to work for

Ip Buster Crabbe

Paramount soon . after his swim- it ming victory » I and, unknown I j to him. the stu- I dio added onto I his billing in the a picture the line: | "Olympic Swim- a mingCham- | pion.” That one slip | cost Buster his j amateur stand- I ing. At the time. I he was too ex- I cited in the new I Job to care, but I now he wants to | join the Hollywood Athletic Club water polo

team and to try out for the next Olympiad. Feeling itself to blame, the stu-1 dio is adding its pleas to Buster’s to get the matter straightened out. If the board of governors of the A. A. U. relent, Hollywood has an excellent chance of being reprerented in the Berlin games. If you can believe reports, an historical romance featuring a famous feminine star displays costumes from four different centuries. But why bother? As Bill Olivi r says, "Maybe they are trying to make her immortal.” It was one of those unfinished adventures but Eleanor Holm and Arthur Jarrett worked up goosepimples telling me about it. The other night they returned home late to their hill-top home.' Just as they were about to drive into the garage, they saw two men get out of a car parked across the street. No Hollywood star stops to linger a time like that Arthur shot the IV Jback down the driveway and Waited right on up thestreet. Fitteen minutes later.he and Eleanor deAtjied to drive back to the house. • Tlie mysterious machine was still waiting.. ' * This time. Arthur kept going till he found two policemen in a radio ‘car. The armed convoy reached the house Just as a tail-light was disappearing in the distance. f Os course, there u no way of

'jevt. Carl C. Pumpiirey has already I offered to donate one large show case with a good lock attached. It is hopeu historical socI iety can be organized which in ad-■ ( idition to appointing curators for; i , the museum will be active in collecting facts and classifying liistor- • : ic events in the county. At the pre- < sent here are several excellent his- , , tories of Adams County, but there is a great mass of data which lias ' never been published or made pub- ■ lie. Tlie keeping of records and files would be one ot tlie most valuable fu:..lions of the museum. Many are i being destroyed or lost each year. Some of the finest records have t ; disappeared entirely. j

proving that the strangers were stick-up men. But that very day the papers had announced that Lupc Velez had left Johnny Weissmuller and was staying with tha Jarretts. And, as Eleanor and Arthur point out, Lupe is known tc wear thousands of dollars worth of diamonds; Maybe my eyes deceived me but there was something strange about the picture of Greta Garbo on the | de-luxe program that the Chinese | Theater gave out for the premiere of “Queen Christina.” Garbed in long robes, the star is sitting on the throne of Sweden. But from the bottom of the robe protrude her feet clad in what certainly do appear to be a pair of modern sport brogues. Producer Earl Carroll is regaling Hollywood with some gay stories about the days when he got Oliver I Morosco to split up the vaudeville team of Cantor and Lee and to bring Eddie, pop-eyes and all, out to the coast to become a solo comedian. Those times, for instance, when Cantor used to stick his head out of the twelfth story

, of the hotel and shout Morosco’s name until the producer would come out of the theater a half block away to see what was the matter. Also the little trick that Carroll and Eddie used to play on the pedestrians at Seventh and Broadway. Eddie would wait until one of the town's dinky

Eddie Cantor

I jtrect-cars approached and walk . slowly across the street in front of ! it. The car always would just i barely, clegr him but Eddie would ; do a trick flip-flop and land in a heap in the gutter. Carroll’s part ■ was to rush up. gather the appari ent remains in his arms and stride 1 into the corner drug-store. Then, as • the gaping crowd swept into the ■ store, the two pranksters would slip . out the back door and go on their 1 way. Why, Mr. Cantor! DID YOU KNOW—- • That W. C. Fields still hat- hia - first juggling paraphernalia consisting of an old hnt, a cigar-box, a f tomato can and a brogan?
