night of her show. "Green Grow the Lilacs*', in which Franehot Tone once appeared lor the Theater Guild. Everybody has u story to tell of the recent rain storm but the queerest is about the cloud that became imprisoned in top of an M. G. M. sound stage. This is no candidate for the liar's club, either. A cloud did form in the upper reaches of the huge courtyard set for ‘•Romeo and Juliet”. Technicians say it was due to the sudden change in temperature brought about by the downpour, and that the phenomenon is oUen found in dirigible hangars, sports arenas, etc. But it was the ■ first cloud ever noticed in a Hollyi wood sound stage and caused no end iof excitement. It had no form but ■ hung in a mist so thick that the i stabbing rays of a hundred lights i were unable to dispel it. After hurried conferences, however, all doors of the stage were thrown oi»en 1 I and a battery of wind machines was ' sent for. They blew the cloud outi side and work was resumed. j The ex-wife of what comedian, is causing all her friends to groan by her trip to the desert for a recon--1 dilation with her youthful actor I boy friend, from whom she recently | parted—and plenty angrily?

Adoption of a civil service plan I of selecting employes of the welfare department was discussed at . length with an indication that it ■ will be applied to ihe state divi- . sion but not in county units. The state welfare board, which be composed of five members appointed by the governor, will set up the merit system. , o Township Assessors Will Meet Friday The meeting of the township assessors of Adams county will be held in the court rooms of the court house Friday morning at 10 1 o’clock for the purpose of schooling and outlining of territories. The meet was originally scheduled in the eity hall, but announcement was made today by Ernest Worthman, county assessor, of the change in meeting pla.ce. for the convenience of being near the county assessor’s office and business. Paul Weber, field representative of the state board of tax commissioners, will conduct the school, with the help of Mr. Worthman. Al! trustees and assessors are expected to lie in attendance. o Would Regulate Firearm Shipment Washington. Feb. 20. — (U.R) — The senate sought to aid disarmament of the underworld today by passing a bill to regulate interstate shipment of all firearms. Coincident with munitions committee testimony as to the ability | of criminals or even would-be revo-1 lutionists to secure arms, the sen-J ate acted on the drastic measure which had been pending since last August. Senators sponsoring the legislation said that more than 1,000,000 foreign made pistols had been imported since the World War, It was estimated that there were from 15,000.000 to 20,000,000 pistols in the United States today.
