Maybe Mary was thinking about all .those old wisecracks about her anta poug going English. Anyway, her trousseau is completely American. She carried out the old tradition about the bride wearing something old, | something new, something MBowed, something blue. The handkerchief she carried had been in the Lasky family for years. Her gown, of course, was new, and it also was blue. The "something boßftowed" was a compact.

Mollie J., Anaheim: Kent Taylor has been married six years to the former Augusta Frances Kulek. They eloped to Santa Ana and kept the marriage secret for several months due to the disapproval of their families. Guinn “Big Boy” Williams, of all people, got tossed from a horse while trying to play a prank on the "Big City” company at M. G.M. Big Boy, who sits a saddle like he was bom in it, tried to run a horse up into a sound stage to get a laugh out of Spencer Tracy and Luise Rainer. He was tossed and twisted his knee so badly that they’ve had to rewrite his part in the picture to allow for it.

Operators believed the Achilles’ broadcast had inspired the report. Marine quarters in Honolulu placed the Achilles’ position as 600 miles south of the Equator in the vicinity of the Solomon Islands. The Achilles advised that it received calls saying “Give us a few dashes if you hear this." Then followed the signals KHAQQ. The Achilles reported its last contact with the plane was at 6:20 A. M. GMT. Saturday (12:20 A. M. CST.) The last word from the plane while it was in flight was picked up at 2:55 p. m. (CST) Friday by the Itasca, which heard on’y the plane’s signals. 4 A vast search was underway. Itasca's mission was described frankly as "Like looking for a needle in a haystack.” A nhvy bombing plane was dispatched from Honolulu, piloted by Lieut. W. W. Harvey and carrying a crew of eeven men. It was due at the Island, 1,800 miles from Honolulu. at dawn. The U. S. S. Swan, located midway between Honolulu and Howland, was ordered to this island to I join the search. A navy squadron of 12 iplanes was I standing by for orders at Honolulu Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations in Washington, ordered the commandant of the Honolulu district to make all faciI lities available to the search. The ' admiral acted after George Palmer Putnam, Miss Earhart’s husband, appealed to the navy department for aid. Putnam, a motion picture executive, was in his office at the ■ Oakland, California airport standing vigil beside the radio. The Itasca was to use smoke sig- | nals by day and flares and searc’ni lights iby night. The iltasca broadcast a message saying that success of the search would depend mainly on continued good weather. Tropical storms abound in the area, 'but I it was clear and calm. Some aviators at Honolulu doubted that Miss Earhart could have pancaked the plane on the water 1 and kept It afloat because of the vast wingspread, which measures I 55 feet, and of the high landing ! speed. They said, however, that

’with gas tanks empty, the plane 1 might have sufficient buoyancy to I keep afloat indefinintely. I The crew of the Itasca estimated the plane's position as pronably 100 miles northwest of the Island beI cause of the strength of the lastsigj nals it received. These signals indicated only direction on the Itasca's chart, and provided on refer- , ence point. o — Geneva Will Own Waterworks System The town of Geneva will own its own waterworks system, according to word received here. The directors and stockholders of the Geneva Water company Thursday night voted to accept the bid of the town, according to the report. The directors were authorized to , sign the contract for the sale. It was • reported that the sale price was approximately $14,000, including all • expenses.

persons just posing, nor “scenics” as void of noticeable feature as an army blanket, nor any more conglomera tions of meaningless composition shot at random for no good pictorial reason. Such pictures are, as you know, products of no ambition to make the best out of the possibilities of a person’s camera, the film he uses and of himself as a photographer. In terms of entertaining, eye-de-lighting, emotion-stirring and photographically excellent pictures, these possibilities are unlimited, and on vacations, whether you head for the ocean, mountain, lake, river, even the prairie or the desert, the opportunities for real pictures are unlimited. Do make up your mind this time to think before you shoot. Special supplication: If you have never used a color filter, treat yourself to two or three of different types, or at least one average filter such as the K-2, and experiment 'with them before you start. Filters bring in clouds distinctly, cut through haze, combat too bright reflections from water or sea sand. Like deftly placed cosmetics on milady’s face, deftly used filters enhance beauty. Learn to use them. You will be surprised and delighted with the results. John van Guilder
