a great lawyer but even at that he has not been able to make every thing in his own state of Pennsylvania constitutional. The trouble with Beck is he is a Republican first and can't see any thing good in any thing the Democrats might do. — The bonus vote in Hie houie, three to oue, indicates it will be put up to Mr. Roosevelt as it was jto Mr. Hoover and Mr. Coolidge. ' Congressman Farley voted for it, i declaring his belief that this was !an excellent way to provide currency expansion and save the in- ' ierest ou the balance due the boys. The Republicans are go|ng to make the NRA and the escape of Dillinger the political issues in Indiana. Fair enough, but the NRA .saved the nation and it has not been clearly shown just who aided Dillinger or what their politics may be. There is grave danger in both these side issues for those who grasp at straws. Florida is enjoying a real estate I boom, which is a good sign..

Once we get these codes all figured out and going, with fair competition in every line and with i trade generally picking up, we will • all feel belter towards each other j and be better, it's a whale of a job and no one but a courageous man would have tackled it, but > finally it will prove to be the saver of the nation and her people. i Most important for all of us is i io keep our own community mov- ’ ing along without friction and with ! sufficient energy that every one is employed and that we continue to | grow- and prosper collectively. Os course the New Deal, state affairs. I the crime wave, sports and all the j other news breaks of the day are ! of interest, but our best efforts and first thoughts should be always, what can wc do to make this city and county, a better and a happier | place in which to live. oPETERSON NEWS Mrs. Nelson Abbott and daughter Frances spent Wednesday with ir. ami Mis.

By HARRISON CARROLL rnpyn.hl. I»3< Kin. Siodir.l*. In. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., — You can look to see a revival of the 1 styles of Uie Confederacy after Marion Davies' new picture, “Operator 13," is re- 1

leased. This comes 1 [straight froip ; Adrian, who has started dozens 1 of fashion vog- " ues in the last few years. The famous movieland de- ■ signer believes ' that the taffeta ■ evening gown of : that day will be modernized and come into favor among smart dressers this summer.

An airplane roared in from Palm Spr.ngs yesterday bringing a little buy and his sick dog. The boy was Barry Gargan, sen of William Gargan, R-K-0 star, and the dog was Lady Nagrag. one of the two registered pit-bulls, which are playmates of the actor’s children. Several days ago Lady Nagrag (the name is Gargan spelled backwards) became ill and doctors suspected distemper. When her condition became worse Gargan called the head of a Los Angeles Dog and Cat Hospital for advice. In the end he decided upon the spectacular course of flying the ailing pet to Hollywood. An ambulance met the plane and took away Lady Nagrag and the little boy who refused to leave his dog’s aide. Those marquee humorists have been busy again. Hardie Albright reports a suburban double-feature theatre as advertising: “Should Ladies Behave with Lionel Barrymore by Candlelight.” Though still clinging to their private telephone numbers, Hollywood stars complain that the system gives them only partial protection. They are ready to try anything, some even going so far as to eliminate telephone service entirely. Winfield Sheehan, head of Fox. is building a Norman farm house in Hidden Valley, five miles away from any phone. To reach the film execu-

tive it will be necessary to send a wire. Joel McCrea and Richard Dix already have protected their privacy in this manner. It costs the R-K-0 studio $1.50 to have a wire delivered to their ranches. Ann Harding has a telephone that only takes out-going calls. The studio has to pay a messenger boy 75 cents every time they want the blonde star to call them. And she can answer in her own good time. Just back from addressing the Fashion Guild of America, Adrian also predicts that polka dots in every size, from tiny “pin dots” to huge “silver dollars,” will be seen in both day-time and evening gowns. He believes that plaids, stripes and vivid colorings will make Milady • gay figure this summer. I drew fire from several sources by reporting that the Carioca was invented from start to finish by the makers of “Flying Down to Rio” and that Anne Caldwell hit upon the name because she wanted something to rhyme with polka. In the first place, Lou Brock, associate producer at the R-K-0 studio, writes that he gave the title and the sketch of the lyrics to Gus Cahn, Edward Eiliscu and Vincent Youmans, who wrote and composed the number under his supervision. The word “Carioca.” he says, is not

anyone s invention but the Brazilian pct name for Rio de Janeiro. The Carioca dance, says Mr. Brock, was bis invention. Now comes a mysterious correspondent, who signs himself M. X., Co inform me that the rhythm of the number is the same one as the “Machicha," the Brazilian national dance, which is already

known all over the world. “I mean Europe, you know," he adds. Mr. M. X. also points out that people from Rio de Janeiro are i known as “Cariocans” just as we . of Los Angeles are called “Ange- . lenos." , So that, apparently, is that.
