The end of his line is attached to the tail. Cut on Twentieth Century-Fox, we watch Hollywood's four preti tiest sisters—Loretta Young, Sally 1 Blane, Polly Ann Young and Georgiana Belzer -making still pictures for "Alexander Graham Bell". They group and regroup on a stairway as a cameraman shoots negai tive after negative. J You notice that while the other | girls may be standing in some of ! the .shots. Georgiana always is kneeling or sitting down. There is a reason. Georgiana is the baby of the family but she is two inches taller than any of her sisters. — It is very funny on the "Tarzan in Exile” set this week to see Maureen O'Sullivan getting ready to ! scramble an ostrich egg for Johnny--5X7 a { c c m n lltxr

Maureen hits the ostrich egg a whack with a hatchet and then dumps the contents into a primitive skillet. “Okay, cut,” says Director Richard Thorpe. In the next scene, the players will be seen eating the meal but they insist on the substitution of scrambled htn's eggs. However, in case you ever want to use an ostrich egg in a recipe, the assistant director gives me this valuable piece of information. One ostrich egg is equal to 29 hen’s i eggs.

Floyd Garrott, Battle ■ Ground Republican, asked White: 'What is the number of the house bill which re-enacts the anti- ; nepotism law?" , White said he couldn't think of I it offhand, to which Garrott re- ; plied: "There Isn't any such bill.” Thus challenged White inquired and refreshed Garrott's memory i j with the statement that house bill j No. 50 was the anti-nepotism bill. 1 Later Garrott publicly apologized to White for questioning his state I ment. Sen. Jacob Weiss, Indianapolis Democrat, then assailed Ferris' 1 resolution as “political chicanery." I He charged that the RepublicanI want to outlaw nepotism in those parts of the government which ice controlled by Democrats but ‘ do not want the cities and coun des which are controlled by Rei publicans investigated for nepo- ' tisin. "The speaker of the house lKnapp) lias several grandchil dreu on the legislative payroll. Weiss shouted. He also referred .o the fact that Ferris and Knap are from the same county, Wayne If the Republicans would enact a "real" anti-nepotism law the Democrats would be glad to vote ■ with them, Weiss asserted. Meanwhile, the senate labor committee was ready to report out I without recommendation an■ amended measure providing for higher rates of worlynen’s compensation. Three important changes mad by the committee were: 1. Establish a minimum week ly compensation of $lO.Ol and a maximum of S2O 90 as compared with the present minimum of SB.BO and a maximum of $16.50. The bill originally called for a minimum of $16.50 and a maximum of $24.65. 2. Establish $10,500 as the maximum benefit to be paid survivors of persons killed or injured permanently during employment. 3. Put a 64-week ceiling on payments for temporary disability when impairment benefits also are being paid. A house committee was study- j ing the constitutionality of Rep. Glenn A. Markland’s bill to abolish bar examinations and permit graduates of accredited law colleges to begin practicing immediately. Markland claimed that the examinations. which now are being studied by a special committee appoint 'd by the supreme court, are "unfair and unreasonable.” He read a letter from a circuit cqurt judge who said the examin-. ations were too dificult even for men with several years of law I practice. ’
