will be recalled by a grateful people and it is fitting that we pause and pay our respects to the living and homage to the dead. f Edgar Guest, the poet who writes about things human and more or I less on home life, contributes an article to this month’s issue of ’he . Rotarian magazine. Poet Guest, in * telling of Detroit, conveys a thought which every true lover of his home town might take as hie I own. applying the same spirit to J 1 his own community. We like the II following: 1 “Detroit has been hard hit by ( the depression; some of our finest i families have been brought to the verge of ruin. Fortunes have been swept away and hurt and loss have struck at high places. However, you will hear no whimpering in June. You will see evidence of great courage everywhere. Hope has not been abandoned. Detroit is at work, leading the way for the nation to the new and better ora. Men everywhere are busy doing and planning. Prosperity is to return and it is on the way to the country, via Detroit. Detroit has lost much, but not its spirit. It is not ruined; it is not decaying: it is not withering. It has suffered but it has not whimpered over loudly.” o Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1. Latin for “greater bear.” 2. Bavaria. 3.

morning bout of fisticuffs but the drawling Fox star insists it is ■ case of mistaken identity; that an imposter must have taken the count. At any rate, black - and - tan circles are abuzz over the incident which took place shortly before dawn in a favorite rendezvous of local negro entertainers. A dusky sixfooter, said to be an exact double of Stepin, got

into an argument with a bad boy of the local Harlem—a lad rumored to have figured in several shooting scrapes. The black boy whom they thought was Stepin gave his opponent a ehove. What followed was snappy and decisive. One blow and the six-foot aggressor was measuring his length on the floor—only he didn't know it. Out at the Fox studio. Stepin waggled his head and drawled: "No, sun, I don’t know nothing about any fight. It must a’ been mah double. He looks zactly like me and is always goin’ round telling he’s me. Why that boy’s even made personal appearances under mah name.” But there are still some on Central Avenue who say it WAS Stepin and that be looked just as peaceful as if he was lying in his coffin. One of the better storiss of the week is told on an actor who could work a good deal more steadily if he wasn’t so fond of the bottle. The other dawning, so they say, he was lurching up Hollywood Boulevard, zigzagging from one side of tha street to the other. A wouldbe Good Samaritan hailed him. “Listen, buddy," he said, ‘‘you’d better stay on one side of the, street ” The actor eyed him foggily. “Yeah!” he replied. “What do you think I am? A tight-rope walker? It sounds just a little crazy but friends of Mae West insist that she turned down $250,000 to make a picture at a certain Hollywood studio because she is superstitious about carving Paramount where she made j her first success The star won t i part even with articles of apparel aha wore in “She Done Him

f'v?i r Wrong.” One of her favorites is a white velvet dressing-gown, which still goes with her to the set every day. With rueful honesty, Charlee Laughton confesses that when he and Alexander Korda saw "The Private Life of Henry VIII” they would have sold it to the highest bidder—had there been one. Even when the idea for the picture was first discussed over a dinner-table in Paris, neither of the two men had any idea of it being an important production. They assembled a cast who waived salary for a percentage of profits (how glad they must be now) and cut down expenses at every angle. The sets were mostly painted canvas and Laughton wore only four costumes in the entire picture. But it was this film that was to give English production a new dignity in the American field and was to win for Laughton the Academy award for acting—a trophy which was just delivered to him on the set of “The Barretts of Wimpole Street” Due to an old friendship and a whim, Bruce Cabot will presently become sports editor on an Albuquerque newspaper for a salary of 50 a week. The star will fill in while his pal, Dan Burrows, goes on his annual vacation. Movie stars get dozens of proposals of marriage from their fans but the experience of Julie Haydon

is the most un- o usual. Several weeks ago the wires carried the story that the R - K - O actress was losing her voice. Two days ago came a cable from a John Rogers of Sussex , England. The sender identified himself as elderly but with money and a large estate. He expressed sym- • pathy, said he had always been an admirer of

Julie's and wanted to know if she wouldn't marry him. He even offered to let her go back tc her career if she regained her voice. Fortunately, Julie’s scare about her voice is over. But she is writing her appreciation. DID YOU KNOW— That Roger Pryor, appearing as Mae West's leading man in “It Ain't No Sin,” is the son of Arthur Pryor, the band leader and oomposer?

TWO FIRES IN NEW ORLEANS Fires Thought To Be Os Incendiary Origin; Slight Damage New Orleans, May 2t> —(UP) — Two fires broke out simuManeousJy on the river front today where 300 New Orleans dock workers are on strike for union recognition and higher wages. Firemen believed they were of incendiary origin. At the federal cotton warehouse where 3100,000 worth of cotton is stored, damage was slight. Firemen discovered the second fire in an unoccupied building owned by the public belt railroad while enroute to the warehouse. Damage was small. Firemeu iuvesligated the first fire on the theory that it was s»t by one of the two factions involved in the strike. The walkout has been featured by arrest of 200 strikers on charges of “inciting to riot’’ and th® subsequent ruling of the state supreme court that the staute involved wamr onstitutional, hence no prosecution can be made. Violence yesterday included the briok-batting of two policemen, and the stabbing of a negro. A box car hurnei partially with the loss of about 3750. Despite the strike, more than 20 vessels are being loaded and unloaded. More than 1.000 members of other longshoremens unions are working.
