By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1934. King Feature) Syndicate. Ine. HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Male America, hang your head. You are miles behind your wives and

tv i J Carl Brisson

sweethearts in clothes-con-sciousness. That is what Carl Brisson, continental fistic champ, stage and screen star, rays about you after 5 months in this country. The tall, rangy Dane, who has had everything from cigarets to flannel trousers named after him, minces no j words.

“American women,” he says, “can go to Europe and fit in anywhere— much better, in fact, than a European woman could over here.” “Cut the men don’t know how to dress. They wear brown shoes with dark suits, dinner-coat ties with pointed ends, belts instead of braces and dozens of other incorrect articles of attire.” Even the swankier men-about-Hollywood, could learn a thing or two, charges Brisson. You’d be suri prised to know what famous male i star he says is “just on the verge of being over-dressed.” Brisson estimates that the man I of medium income should spend at least 12 ’,2 percent of his salary on his own clothes. How much, then, for the wife? . „ i “Well,” says the star, “Every penny he can afford.” A news item said that the Columbia Studio is spending SSOOO to repair the damages caused by termite ants. Now comes a wire from Bob Woolsey and Bert Wheeler: “Dear Harrison: These are not termites eating away the foundations of Harry Cohn’s studio. It s Bert and me trying to get our share of ‘So This Is Africa’ ”. Silliest thing I’ve read in weeks is the contention of a writer in a national magazine that Mae West I is slipping because she has surrounded herself with a group of i young intellectuals. I suppose he means Jim Timony, ! Boris Petroff and Jack West, who are the blonde star’s only intimates, 1 or Morris Cohan, (the Pasadena fight manager), Barney Ross, Tony I Canzoneri and such two-fisted guys i with whom Mae talks fight lingo, i

Ft. William, Ont., past international president of Rotary, will speak as representative of the international organization. More than 700 Rotarians and their wives are expected to attend. The Michi-gan-Indiana baseball game Thursday afternoon, campus tours, swimming, golf, trip to Brown . county, inspection of the stone and furniture industries, and other activities are on the entertaining program. Special luncheon and breakfast programs are offer- ' ed for Rotary-Annes. Club presidents and secretaries will hold their annual assembly, the afternoon and evening of May 18.

You seldom are able to tie such a I boner onto a hotel clerk, but this actually happened when Alice Faye , was flying east to broadcast for Rudy Vallee and her plane was forced down in Albuquerque. With several hours to wait for clearing weather, the party went to a hotel, which had been notified of their coming. When Alice stepped up to register, the suave young man at the desk exclaimed: “Oh, how do you do, we’ve re- I served a fine room for you, Miss Webb.” There’s a story behind the movie debut of Mary Jane Moore, Gotham debutante, whose papa is chairman of the Butterick publications. When the young socialite was going to Miss Bennett’s School in New Jersey, she and Betty Burness, now of the films, made a vow never to get married without the other acting as maid of honor. Several weeks ago, Betty was given a script of “The Life of Vergie Winters”, and discovered that she was due to become a bride in the picture. Though it was only make-believe, she wired I her chum, who came to California i and played maid of honor when ' Betty married Frank Albertson before the camera. Roger Pryor, lately of Broadway, is perhaps the first player to vin- i dicate the old press-agent story by

actually knocking out the pro- ■ fessional boxer S in a screen fight. I In a scene for 1 Mae West’s “It S Ain’t No Sin”, I Pryor was supJ posed to mill s around with ■ Billy McGowan, R the middleK weight, and to I send him to the 1 canvas. It was —■ to be a fake, of course, with McGowan purposely taking the fall. But the

fighter started to wilt prematurely and Pryor’s punch caught him full. | He went down like a log with a broken nose, his first injury of the I sort in 248 fights. DID YOU KNOW— That Bing Crosby worked in the Spokane Foot Office two summers , to buy a set of drums from a mail I order house?

TWO COUNTRIES READY FOR WAR Bolivia And Paraguay Preparing To Wage Fierce Battle ■- — » Buenos Aires, May 12. — (U.R) — Bolivia and Paraguay prepared today to wage their Gran Chaco war with a ferocity unapproached since the days of the World War. Airplane bombing ot defenseless cities, use ot poison gas, reprisals on prisoners of war were threatened as the contending armies massed munitions and men for a winter campaign in the Chaco, A League of Nations official, trying vainly to halt the war, charged that back of it lay an ugly cloud of international intrigue, into which entered a fight for munitions busliness and for the supposedly dreamlike oil wealth of the territory, dottIcd now with bleaching bones of 45,000 men. A German World War general is commauder-in chief of the Bolivian armies. American and other avi-1 ators are in both armies. Munitions - makers ot many countries are do-, ing business with both sides. An apparently spurious report, I published here, that Paraguay was going to execute a Bolivian officer and 10 Bolivian enlisted men, drawn ; by lot from prisoners of war, pre-1 cipltated the fanatic feeling appar-1 ent today in both countries. ' The executions were supposed to | be in reprisal for the bombing of I two Paraguayan towns by Bolivian j aviators. Bolivia asserts the towns are fortified; Paraguay that they are not. Bolivia announced that if the men were executed its aviators aviators would bomb Asuncion, capital of Paraguay. Paraguay, in turn, announced that if Asuncion was bombed the public undoubtedly would lynch all Bolivian prisoners of war. Both sides today were massing men in the Chaco region for what each hoped would 'be decisive victory. Airplanes roared over the lines, machine gunning and bombing at close range. Paraguay was reported preparing to use poison gas. As Paraguay massed its men for a new drive, the Bolivian war office announced: “We can no longer stand the present situation. We are resolved to fight till we destroy the enemy.” o Card of Thanks I am very proud and appreciative of the splendid support given me in the recent primary for county coun-ilman-at-large, and take this method of expressing my thanks. 1 will always remember with pleasure the friendly expressions.

A Bible and a Newspaper In Every Home —said Benjamin Franklin, whose death on April 17, 1790, we remember this week. IF YOU asked the founder of a great library system what reading matter you should plaee in your home, you might expect him to hand you a sizable list of books. But old Ben Franklin, father of the free library system of our country, being a man to put first things first, might have looked over the top of his glasses at you, and repeated “a Bible and a newspaper in every home.” % Franklin himself was Printer and Publisher ... and an advertising writer. He recognized, as you do, that good advertising is NEWS. Back in 1780, when a ship came to port with a consignment of India shawls and some merchant announced this in the newspaper, you may imagine that that item meant more to the ladies of the day than the usual chronicle of somebody’s cow ‘‘lost, strayed or stolen.” An editor gathers up the news from all corners of the globe, just as a merchant gathers up his stock of goods. Then the story of both is carried in the newspaper. Both mean a great deal to every reader.
