What a comfort to know that Vapoßub goes to work right away to relieve the misery of his cold without "dosing”-without risk of stomach upsets. And what a comfort to know that long after restful sleep comes, Vapoßub will still be working-two ways at once—direct through the skin like a poultice, and direct to the irritated air-passages with its medicated vapors.

By HARRISON C ARROLL Copyright. 1939 King Features Syndicate, Inc. BOLLYWOOD—If John Barrymore wasn't talking through his tat the other day, it is Elaine Barrie's ma. Mis Edna Jacobe, who deserves most

rs the credit for putting the wayward stat back up there among the top botchers. B a r r y m ore told the gang on the "Midnight” set: “Don't give me any of those mother - in • law jokes. If I’ve snapped out of

John Barrymore

It, she is largely responsible. She has taken all the worries off my shoulders. All I have to do is to concentrate on my acting." If you have a business proposition to put up to Barrymore, you go first through Mrs. Jacobs. She has become his shield from the *orld, and that's probablv what ns means. 4 Can t go for some of these cracks other columnists about Nelson “dy being a mother's boy. He’s one of Hollywood's most considerate sons, if that’s anything to be shamed of.

D. and Mrs. Sherman Kunkel. Twenty-eight members answered roll call. Mrs. George Walton opened the meeting and Mrs. Fred Smith had charge of the devotionals. She also read a poem, “Teaeh Me To Love” and gave a short talk on, ‘‘Love and Kindness.” Choral singing was enjoyed. after which Mrs. Charles Teeple led in prayer. Mrs. W. A. Lower was leader and gave a story on "The Negro.” She read Lincoln's favorite poem. "Oh.

in business for himself. With the. publicity he’s getting as Gable's coach, he's finally going to do it. . . . Will open a school in Beverly Hills. Fight between Al Citrino and Mike Belloise in Oakland belongs as much in a movie column as on the sports page. Dick Arlen has just bought Citrino's contract and Belloise is Paul Kelly’s fighter. At the Gilmore stadium here, Hollywood stunt men and stunt girls put on a show to get funds for a convalescent home for members of their dangerous craft. ■ Stunt girl s association has only I 15 full-fledged members and is headed by Frances Miles, who has risked her neck dozens of times in movie scenes. She’s the daughter of Oscar Martinson, an old-time chief of police at Minneapolis and later at the Universal studio. Frances has been injured many times, but has broken only one bone, a knee. Some years ago, e director (he's in the top ranks now) threw a harmless snake at Frances to test her nerve. She was paralyzed for a seqond, then threw two guns, fortunately loaded with blanks, and chased the director right through Universal’s front gate. Remember, Mr. W? Marlene Dietrich’s daughter, Maria, joins her here in March Both of their citizenship papers come up then. Marlene tells me: “Maria is terribly’ excited. She is 100 per cent American. Shed die if she didn't get those papers.” Heavy hoop skirts worn by Nancy Kelly- in "Jesse James" slimmed her waist down two inches. Now she has to wear a 24pound costume in "Stanley and L 1 v i ngstone.”

Dorothy Lamour

. . . Rumors that a certain Hollywood press agent represents the German and Italian g o v e r nments are untrue. An affiliation of this sort would have to be registered in Washington and approved by the state department. Vio-

lation of this provision carries a jail sentence. The Andy Devines are naming their new son Denny. ... It must be love. Herb Kayei drove from San Francisco and back: just to spend a few hours with Dorothy Lamour. . . . Busiest swain in town now is Jimmy Bryant. He had Frances Robinson on his arm at Marcel Lamaze's.

They loved nature intensely an Hke true lovers ,hey symbolized their ideas in their artistic designs. Even to this day you will find many Oriental rugs having symbolic designs borrowed from the works of nature. For a long time the industry of rug-weav-ing remained in Egypt. Assyria and Asia Minor but late in the seventh and eighth centuries it came into power in the Persian empire. The rug manufacturing was then taken into Sicily, Spain and France and then introduced throughout Europe ” Mrs. Suttles also described the methods of rug-making. “The old rugs of China are very remarkable and are now very scarce. The modern Chinese work can not compare with the work of the earlier Chinese Persian rugs are the most interesting and remarkable rugs known. The United States now is largely occupied in rugweaving. Philadelpla is the center of the eastern secfit ion in the manufacturing or rugs.” “The Navajo rugs made in the Indiana reservations are widely known. Old Navajo iugs are becoming fewer as the years roll by and are naturally becoming more valuable.” The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Harry Moltz with Mrs. Noah Fry as the leader. _— 0 .

To iron out all differences in the senate and house versions of the president's $725,000,000 relief bill, senate and house conferees meet in Washington. The conferees struck out an apparently harmless phrase which would have prohibited contributions by federal employes to political functions such ms the SIOO-a-plate Jackson Day dinners The conerees also denied relief to aliens unless ’Hy have

named utteref of the “deliberate lie" as a boob —he thought some boob had circulated the statement. He ridiculed the uproar about secret discussion of foreign policy, explaining that it would not be wise to give publicity to the reports of intelligence officers on matters which probably were true but which could not immediately be confirmed. Furthermore, he felt that publicity would dry up the sources of our foreign intelligence. Foreign policy should not be Involved, Mi. Roosevelt said sharply, in legislative, party or newspaper politics. He said the 1940 campaign should not enter into the question of 1939 national defense. He felt that the current excitement here over foreign policy had been mannfactured by deliberate misrepresentation of facts. The policy, he said, had not changed and had been thoroughly outlined in messages to congress. 0 SPEAKER CUTS (CONTINUED EHOM PAGE ONE) about a deficit." said Hoover, referring to the state budget. I'd like to know what the state payroll amounts to and maybe we can save some money. I know also that Indiana is renting more floor space than is necessary." Rep. Edward Stein. Democratic floor leader, angrily termed Hoover’s proposal a “silly resolution” which would call for an "enormous report" from the governor. “I w’ant you to know.” growled Stein, “that there are 1.400 state, employes who were on the payroll under Governor Leslie." He' referred to the late Harry G. Les- I lie, the last Republican governor . whose term was from 1929 to 1933 Attacking the resolution as a I "Republican political trick." Stein added: "It's the old elephant sticking his snout out again. You can get I nine-tenths of this information from the state budget committee. ' You think that Indiana is run like I a grocery store.” "A grocery store is run much ■ better," retorted Hoover. Stein then moved that the reso-

lution be tabled and again the Republican lines held firm to keep the proposal alive by a vote of 51 to 48. Presumably the house, dominated by the G. O. P.. can scan the payroll of the Democratic administration and make a great political issue OKI of suggestions for its reduction, naming names and possibly airing any nepotism disclosed by the scrutiny. Earlier the house delayed action on gross income tax law revision when Speaker James Knapp rejected a report of the ways and means committee on it. The proposal wdnld reduce the tax on retailers to one-half of one per cent and provide a $3,000 exemption. The committee reported the bill for passage when and if additional revenue could be provided from other sources to offset the loss. Knapp ruled that this condition in the report was not valid and told the committee to bring in another. o—. ——— BRITISH HEAD (CONTINUED FROM fAGE ONE, Paris in December for signature of the French-German friendship decimation. No official information was available, but it was assumed ‘he foreign ministers would qjseuss the status of French-German relations since signature of the declaration. and also Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s Reichstag speech and what course he intends to pursne. One of the outstanding subjects ot the Bonnet-Ribbentrop talks probably would be the French Italian quarrel which flared up almost simultaneously with signa lure of the French-German declaration. Another subject would be the position of Spain and the Mediterranean as a result of the fall of Barcelona.
