Despite Rogers’ deliberate dis , regard for grammar in his speech , and writings, he w r as a highly ( educated man who knew much more than “what I read in the ( papers.” His early education was obtained at Neosho, Mo. Later he attended the Kemper Military j academy at B lonville, Mo., and ( while he won no medals for scholarships. he outshone all his ( schoolmasters as a horseman. Someone once, for a gag, started the story that Rogers, far from being a “hillbilly cowboy." had graduated from Oxford University Summa Gum Laude. and this caused no end of embarrassment 1 to Will. 1 “It’s a base canard." he used to i say. "Nothin’ to it. I always I thought Oxford was the name of j ' a shoe till I visited England sev-.l eral years back, and Y’at dragged p out to look at the college " Rogers was proud of the fact i < that he was part Cherokee Indian, 11

.and delighted in puncturing the pretense of snobbishly inclined I persons who boasted of their ! Mayflower ancestry by remarking i' Shucks, that's nothin.. My folk.s ' was on shore awaitin' for your j ancestors with meat axes in their i hands." I One of the funniest scenes Rog- , ers ever made in a picture incoi • . porated in “So This is London,” his second talkie, concerned his i difficulties in getting a passport because he couldn’t produce a ■ birth certificate. "Can you prove you were born?" . asked the passport clerk. "Well, you’re lookin’ at me — what do you think?’’ "Can you produce any witnesses?" demanded the exasperated official. “Uope. Ycu see in those days, such things was sorta private. Wasn’t nobody there but jest ma and me.” Rogers never would say wheljtler this incident, which he wrote 1 into the script himself, actually happened to him when he first started traveling. "Well, it mighta,” he drawled, noncommitally. From the day of their marriage, Mrs. Rogers took complete charge of Will and until the day of his departure on his last tragic flight she supervised his wardrobe and made him the sort of a home he loved—simple almost to the point of barrenness in appointments, but designed for comfort. Three children were born to the Rogers—Will, Jr., recently a ■ student at Stanford University Mary, who has been playing in stock preparing herself for the stage, and Jimmy, who attends Claremont school in .California. Until very recently, when his children began to strike out in the world on their own, Rogers al- j ways kept his family in the background and refused to let them be exploited. Once they had proved their ability to take care of themselves, he proudly sat back and let them go ahead. DECATUR’S TAX CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE for next year are those for a. police auto, $650 and $l5O each for mileage and other operating expenses of the car. The city does not own a police ear. policemen providing their o»'n transportation this year. Tha appropriations for the street department include SI,BOO for tnaiterial and SBOO tor sew-er construe-

tlon. This year the budget appro- i priaied on'y S3OO for street mater-; ial. It is the intention of the city officials to make application for a i WPA grajit for labor and repair I on a number of the streets. The ■ sßuo item for sewer construction will be used in the event a storm sewer is constructed on Monroe street. Other appropriations in the budget are about the same as the l 1935 totals. Reductions were made i in several funds to keep the total i witlin the bounds of the 1935 tax I levy. In several cases savings 1 have been made tn the various de-1 partments. notably in the tire de-| partment and Fire Chief Charles Robenold, in filing his estimates reduced the amounts necessary for 1936. Every Item Checked City councilmeru Mayor Holthouse, City Attorney H. H. Myers and department heads have met i frequently in the past two weeks | relative to compiling the budget.: Every request for funds was scrut-1 inized and compared with 1935 ex- . penditures and reductions made i where possible. Several listings were completed I and with the appropriations for street material and sewer construe-1 tion and police car left in. the to-1 tai was higher than a year ago.

EstiI mates were pruned and revised and finally a draft was made, whereby receiving increased donations from the electric and water departments, the 40-cenit levy could be I maintained. . The 1935 donation from the electric department is 51,680 mid that of the water deportment. SSSO. a total of |2,UO. Earnings of the electric department this year warrant a larger contribution, ciity officials decJared. The 1935 budget totals 529.592, of which *17.452 Is received from tajces and *12,440 estimated from other income. The income will not he that much, since the estimate of the city's share of the excise tax will fall short about fl,i 250. The formal hearing on the budget will be held September 3 and final action taken not later than September 23. o ROGERS, POST CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE superintendent of communications, and Clarence M.

Oklahoma City today hk thouaandu planned a final personal tribute to the ualty humorist and the dare-devil air adventurer. Flaga throughout southern California ware at half staff and will remain so until after the funerals. Hollywood was in the deepest mourning, affected by death as it hasn’t been since the paeslng of Marie Dressier. Morrow was not confined to the movie studios where Rogers was a shining figure. hut filtered down to the man in the etreet who loved him well. Hollywood residents predicted his funeral would be the greatest manifestation of public grief over the passing of a motion picture character since the death of Rudolph Valentino. Services for Rogers will be held in the wee Kirk O’ The Heather at Glendale Thursday afternoon, but these will be attended only by members of his family and his more intimate friends. The chapel seats but 125. The Hollywood howl services, with the major personalities of Hollywood taking a leading part, will be held at the same time. A third service will ,be held In the Community Presbyterian church at Beverly Hills, Rogers’ home town, which the dead actor and humorist helped build. Several hundred persons were at Burbank airport when the gray funeral plane arrived last night. Not a sound came from Them when the plane landed and taxied into a hangar without stopping.

The only untoward Incident was discovery of a news photographer in the rafters of the hangar. He was ejected, and the bodies then wore transferred to hearses that took them to the chapel where they were prepared for interment.

The agreement was unexpected as It had been Indicated the final compromise would be held off until the rest of the "must” leglsla-j tion has gono through in order to avert a stampede for adjournment. The conferees decided to levy u i I*4 per cent tax on intercorporate dividends, a compromise between the house and senage. The house hill exempted inter-corporate dividends from taxation.
