The legislature has three more I days to do the job and then you ; can await a copy of the Acts and have a month's reading ahead of you. We enjoy seeing young men stand on their feet and give expression to their thoughts. Recently we listened to n junior speak on his trade and it was refreshing to note his enthusiasm | and apparent interest in his work.; Service clubs many times are the ' means of making it possible for the i neophyte after-dinner speaker to crawl out of the shell and stand before his fellow- citizens and tell ’em. It's good training. If you have a suggestion or know how to correct radio interference in the city, get in touch with Superintendent Mylott at the city hail or with some one interested in riding the cause-of trouble. City electricians are cheeking lines throughout the city and desire to correct leaks, but in many cases it has been found that faulty equipment or electrical devices in stores, offices and homes arc the cause of trouble. Help it along. Senator Joe Robinson told Huey Long to behave in the senate I chamber or get out. The sugges-1 tion was made that if Long wanted I to fight General Johnson, who panned the Louisiana muck-raker, that he fight it out with fists. Long was likened to a madman and after insulting the President and about everybody who didn't agree with him, sulked from the room and evidently got ready for the next round. How about ducking him in the Potomac? The electric department of tire municipal plant now owns s2s,om> of marketable United States government bonds, the surplus cash In the depreciation fund being invested in these securities. The bonds bear three per cent interest and will be held as a nest egg against any emergency which might r • quire the expenditure of a large amount, in the replacing of machinery at the plant. Over a period of years the council hopes to add to the bond fund, a commendable program to follow. This is Hie holy season of Lent, observed in preparation for the feast of Easter, when the Christian world celebrates Christ’s glorious Resurrection from the tomb. It is a time when the faithful of many denominations, commemorate Jesus ■ 1.1 i U ;;i and abstinence by emulating His example. In an mset world, haressed and frayed by problems of the day, it is a period when we can turn our thoughts to spiritual things, send our prayers to Him on high and ask for a solution of our troubles and for enlightenment in our ap-

parent grouping about. In keeping with the holy season, hutnuns should lay aside the battle of words and grudges and follow the kindly •Man of Galilee, who as we were taught, had only words of kindness and patience for all. The ; world needs more of the Lenten season exemplification and less of the present day ill-will and selfish- , ness. UPSIDE-DOWN GIRL: The country welcomes the opportunity to forget for a moment the 1 critical economic and political worries besetting the land to turn its sympathetic attention toward 10-year-old Alyce Jane McHenry of Omaha, Neb. This little girl is one of the physical oddities nature sometimes produces. She was built “upside-down." The organs which should have been located In the abdominal cavity were pushed up into the chest, creating serious pressure on heart and lungs and impairing normal bodily functions. Every one is touched by handicaps which beset little folk, to deprive them of childhood's joys and the opportunities which life ordinarily extends. Alyce s case was so unusual that Americans everywhere became interested when it was learned that a noted surgeon ' would attempt to correct the orI ranic derangement. Kind hearts followed the child to Fall River. | Mass., and up to the operating ■ room, where u distinguished group had gathered to observe the efforts of surgical skill to cope with such an unusual problem. Only time can determine the outcome of the marvelous surgery. > The story, accurately related by I the executive secretary of the ! medical information bureau of the New York Academy of Medicine to I the Associated Press, reveals the thrilling accomplishments of modern surgery. The case will occupy a prominent place in medical annals. Its success from an operative point of view reflects great credit on the profession. Meanwhile, there arc critical hours ahead for the stout, cheerful little patient who went to an unknown fate singing that rabald ditty, "The Man on the Flying Trapeze.” It is the fervent hope of both the medical and lay world that Alyce may some day swing gaily from a trapeze of her own and fill that refractory stomach with all the goodies that other youngsters crave. —Indianapolis Star. o *ST AR SIGN ALS By OCTAVINE ♦ ♦ For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by tlie planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

HOLLYWOOD—As if the Santa Anita handicap wasn't enough excitement for one day, Hollywood . cetelis flocked out afterward to give the Mayfair club its swankest party in years. The Florentine room at the Beverly Wilshire could have been filled three times, so great was the clamor for reservations. But what could be done when the Hal Roach party alone numljered 144 people, and when Dick Barthelmess , entertained 25 guests, Irving Berlin 20, William Anthony McGuire a huge party and dozens besides. Most of Hollywood’s great could be found at one

Hollywood’s old gog about parties where you never iheet the host or hostess couldn’t apply to the John Wayne's (Josephine Saenz) soiree celebrating the christening of their three-month-old son, Michael Anthony Wayne. For there were no less than seven hostesses on hand. Josephine, her three sisters, and Loretta Young, Sally Blanc and Polly Ann Young.
