doctor has told them to remove the air conditioning of the room. He argues it would keep the baby from developing a normal degree of immunity to disease. Which is reminiscent of the elaborate nursery that Richard Dix visioned before the birth of his twin sons. After n little expert advice, he abandoned nearly all of the gadgets. It rained here for over a week and the "unusual weather" excuse wore pretty thin. Especially to Maria Romero, sister of Caesar Romero, who gave up her position as teacher in an exclusive school at Bradbury Park. N. J., to come to Hollywood and be hostess for her actor brother. When .Maria got off the train, she stepped into an ankle-deap puddle of water. On the way home, she and Caesar got stuck in flooded streets and the car had to be towed in. The other day was the first time the y«uiig lady had bjen out of the house sine” her arrival. TM< little drama of Hollywood boulevard went unnoticed by most. The Apollo theater, a neighborhood movie house, carries Johnny Downs name in lights upon the marquee. Art layouts of him in the picture, “Coronado", decorate the lobby. But what the passers-by don’t know is that 10 years ago, Johnny sold newspapers in front of this theater and peddled its handbills for passes to the shows.

The state’s biennial grant to the university is $1,188,000. The chief requirements stipulated by Governor Earle included a recommendation for changing the method of choosing the board of trustees, which is now self-perpetuating, and revision of the present method of giving faculty members only year-to-year contracts. University authorities contended that the governor’s proposal that he name five of the trustees would introduce polities into the administration. The university was thrown into turmoil last year by charges that Chancellor Bowman had fired several "liberal’’ faculty members without grounds and had made his administration subservient to dictates of "big business”.

Schlickman is also well known lu-re for the Schlickman Grocery Delivery service, which he has op- : erated for the past 22 years, and still manages from his home, although the sons are the present operators.

The crown seeks to send the three defendants to the gallows, contending that Mr. and Mrs. Philip Lake, who were murdered, and their child, Jackie, who was left to freeze to death outside their cabin, were victims of the Bannisters. The crown contends that Mr.s. Bannister, with the aid of her sons, kidnaped the younger Lake baby, Betty, above, killing her parents and brother, so as to palm the infant off as Mrs. Bannister's in an extortion plot directed against her two suitors.
