By HARRISON CARROLL Copuiioht, IM|, King I'eatuirt Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, . . . —Much to Jackie Coogan* embarrassment—considering all those marriage rumors—Toby Wing la going about

J Mr'S* Toby Wing

that he and Toby had been married In Mexico. Jackie himself was to blame. He was at the beach with some former high school chums. Going home time came and he said: ••Well, I’ve got to get back to the wife.” His pals took the announcement big, so. as a rib, Jackie faked some details. But, although they aren’t wed. these two film youngsters are plenty Interested In each other. On one of the nights that Toby recently went out with Alfred Vanderbilt, Jackie's ma had to sit up until the wee hours feeding him soothing potions before he fell to sleep. Funniest wisecrack of the week was made by an actress who has just returned to Hollywood after an absence of several years and who begs not to be credited with the remark. Someone asked her if things had changed. "Oh. no." she replied "You see the same old faces—they've just had them lifted." My story of Hollywood’s comic furore over the midget elephant gets better as It goes along. John Considine. who saw the animal, and who has retained his good nature In the face of much kidding, has dug up a picture from the January flies of the Los Angeles Evening Herald and Express. showing Marlon Burns giving a bottle of milk to a six-month-old elephant about as high as her waist. This, he says, approximates the size of the tiny pachyderm he had in his office a few months ago. Meanwhile. Frank Buck, who read of Charlie Chaplin’s search for the midget animal, wires from Chicago: “No dog-sized elephant ever existed. Only small elephant arriving in America within last year was a young African elephant which came Into Boston and was shipped direct from there to Brookfield Zoo. Chicago. I have baby elephant three feet six inches high now en route from India and arriving here In three weeks, for display In my World’s Fair exhibit. But If there are any 410,000 buyers the exhibit will get on without it. You might pass this Information along to Hollywood producers." —

servation and direction of Purdue extension authorities for a number of years, and good examples can be seen of work on young trees and care of old trees. The Mazeline have given attention to fertilization and conservation of (moisture, as well as carrying on a full spray er Ivedule. Anyone having current orchard problems to ask questions on. is urged to attend this meeting. —• o Belgian Horses Entered At Fair 'Ed Neuhauser of French township. returned Saturday frc.m Indianapolis, where he made arrangenientef ;or entering five Belgian horses in the hcrae show at the state fair. Mr. Neuhauser entered registered pure bred Belgians for himself and two for H. P. Schmitt. Two mares and two colts were entered. Teeple Broe., of Blue Creek township are figuring on entering one or two of their Belgians aa<j Adames county will ibe well represented at the show. o Portland Youth Commits Suicide (Detroit, Aug. 20 —(UP) —Seated in an automdbile with Anna Reeves I 18, Portland, Indiana Gerald True-; blood, 18, also of Portland, drank poison early today and died en route to the hospital. The youth came to Detroit Sun-1 day to see the girl who is visiting

Which la all very well, but, as one Hollywood wag points out. If the elephant la normal It would he full grown before Charlie completed his picture. A southern route transcontinental train took Henry B. Walthall, his wife and their daughter, Patricia, back to Birmingham, Ala, for the actor's first visit to his home town in many years. And he goes bar k with a long-term contract and renewed glory. For, over ut Fox. they'll tell you that Walthall’s performance with Will Rogers In “Judge Priest” Is the best thing he has done since "The Birth of a Nation". And that on top of his fine portrayal of the Idealistic Madero In "Viva Villa", What well known young Hollywood actress Is In a quandary? A few weeks ago she was smitten with a male star and asked her agent to get her a Job in England because he was going there to make a picture. The agent has gotten her the job but now she Is crazy about a young Englishman who must stay in Hollywood. KNICK-KNACKS— An unsuspecting audience at the United Artists theater in Berkeley broke into cheers the other night when there flashed upon the screen the opening title of "The Merry Widow”. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer sent

these days knitting baby clothes. They are for the ' expected blessed event In the family of Toby's sister, l’at, who has been standing the season In Newport with her socially P/omlnent and wealthy husband. Young Coogan gives the lowdown on how the report started

it up tor a sneak preview and Irving Thalberg, Ernest Lubftsch, Jeanette MacDon aid and Maurice Chevalier flew up in a specially chartered plane. Picture went over tremendously and the Hollywoodites were almost mobbed as they came out of the theater. Advance

dope is that the Albertina Raach dances will make the most blase sit up and take notice. . . . Maxie Rosenbloom was so entranced with George Raft’s new ear and with Mack Gray’s re-shaped proboscis that he has gone for a plastic surgery operation to bls own cauliflower ear. And, incidentally, the fighter has been telling everyone that the ear was the only thing keeping him out of pictures. . . . Young Jackie Cooper is all boy. Fifteen minutes before he was due to leave home to catch a New York boat, he chased some kittens under his playhouse, got wedged, and had to have the house lifted oft him. He arrived at the boat still covered with dirt and cobwebs. . . . And, speaking of boats, the John Barrymores didn't return, to Hollywood but traveled across Canada to Quebec to sail for England on the Empress of Britain. The w hole family is along. DID YOU KNOW— That James Cagney tried three times to enlist in the navy in 1917? He was 14 at the time.

. an uncle. She said Trublood had taken her 1 for a ride and that after she refused his offer of marriage he drank the contents of a bottle of poison which he had purchased at a drug store. Miss Reeves said she thought he had stopped to buy cigarettes. “He has always wanted to marry •me," she told police. “Gerald and I went to school together.’’ o SOUTHERN NEGRO PLANS 105th BIRTHDAY PARTY MOBILE, Ala. (U.R) — Throwing open his house to the public for a birthday party to last from noon until midnight, George Washington. Indian-Negro, celebrated his 105th anniversary recently. He is believed tc be the oldest resident of the city. Washington asserts he was born at Richmond, Va„ in 1829, the son of a full-blood Indian. He said he was serving in the 96th Regiment, Company 8, under Sherman, when the Confederates surrendered at Vicksburg, Miss. Washington has resided here for 56 years, and is the father of 20 children, of which 17 survive. p Hull, Mass. — (U.R) — Patrolman Stephen McGrail fished all day without a bite. After reaching home he heard a commotion outside. He discovered his prize hen had swal- • lowed the baited fishhook that was left leaning against the house. He I had to chop its head off to get the I hook. Chicken replaced fish on the family menu.

k WHAT FAMILIAR NAMES MEAN WATCH THISCOLUMN DAILY Copyrighted by DR. HARRY A. DEFERRARI SNODGRASS. The family name "Snodgrass" is of English origin, and means “he who lives near the smooth (neatly kept) grass.” At the present time, this name is' much more common on this coni I-I nent than it Is In England. DORA SNYDER means "Gift of ; God Cutter.” SOLOMON. In early days the personal name "Solomon’’ was ex ! tremely popular in England, al- [ though It was generally spelled I "Sallmon." That old spelling has j generally resulted in such modern ' family names as "Salamon”, ’ Salains.n”, "Saleman’’ and "Salomons.” Although there are some old English families whose names are spelled "Solomon", "Solornan”, etc., the majority of persons whose names are spelled thus are of Jewish descent. This personal name is of Hebrew origin, and may be translated "peaceful" and "peaceable."’ The Hundred Rolls men tions the names ot Richard Salaman, Richard Saleman, Alicia Sale- . man and John Solyman. In Germany the various forms of this fam ' ily name are common to both Christians and Jews. The most frequently found German forms arel "Salomo", "Salomon", "Saloman” and "Salomons."
