Hoosier Vagabond
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11.—On nearly all my previous trips to Los Angeles I've stayed in Hollywood and written about the movies. But this time I decided to take a vacation from Hollywood and do somé columns about Los Angeles itself. My intentions were good, and my will power is fairly strong. But I made the mistake of first going out to Inglewood, a suburb, to visit an old friend from Indiana. His name is Paige Cavanaugh, and he has recently built a new house. I should never have gone. For Mr. Cavanaugh subversively inducted me into suburbanism. He got me started just a little into the life and routine of pocketfarming, and then he went away
on his annual {rip to Indiana. And there I was left, .
with his beautiful green lawn that had to be carefully watered every afternoon starting at 4 o'clock, and mowed meticulously on Saturday morning . And his den full of books, with the big window that looks out onto his little green estate out back, with its flowers and whitewashed fence and avocado trees. And his pile of tree limbs stacked out by the garage, that have te be sawed up for his fireplace. The limbs he gets from a tree-trimmer friend, and brings home in his car.
It Sure Was Fun
And his bright white kitchen where you dawdle over breakfast, and the mailman who comes on a bicycle at 9:30 every morning, and the sunset at 5:30 over toward the beach, and the cool nights, and hot gays and the ease and peace and delight of everying. : So the days have gone by, and this is my official communique explaining why there are no columns about Los Angeles on this trip out west. I ean only say in extenuation, as we push on again along the gypsy - road, that the Inglewood grass is thoroughly sprinkled, the firewood is all sawed and stacked, the books are all read, the dishes are washed, and all the chairs are mighty well sat in.

- THIS IS POSITIVELY the last of the series dealing with the life and adventures of Morton Patterson, the newsboy with the loudest yelling voice in Indianapolis. es martial piece, you'll remember, ended with Morton's return .to New York on Jan. 4, 1939, after spending more than a year in Spain where he was supposed to be helping the Loyalists. Well, soon as Morton got back he was seized with another urge to see Florida. Once before, you'll recall, he was on his way down there but only got as far as Norfolk where he signed up to carry a gun in Spain. This time, however, he let nothing -get in the way and kept right on going until he reached Miami. In Miami, so runs Morton's story, Ellis Hollums of The Herald took a shine to him. And apparently he approved of the kid, because when it came time to part, Mr. Hollums gave Morton a letter of introduction to Lawrence Johnson of the New York Times. In Savannah, on his way back to New York, Morton's boundless faith in ‘human nature got another upset, with the result that one day he found his pants rifled of every penny. he had. His baggage was - gone, too. «deft. him’ his pants, how- ‘ ‘ever, which was more than enough to keep his spirit
up. 8
. He Meets a Relative
In Norfolk, of all places, he fell for the Army again, except that this time it was the Salvation Army. It was during this period that Morton met a man who claimed to be his relative. What's more, that he was a real-for-sure first cousin of Hobart Bosworth. Sure, the same Mr. Bosworth who helped make “The Big Parade” the unforgettable picture it was. The news that Morton might have Hollywood relatives of the caliber of the Bosworths surprised him like everything. Who wouldn't be surprised? And right then and there Morton made up his mind to forget all about the New York Times and hurry to
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—And what of Herbert Hoover? Some of the best informed Republican Party leaders believe he is a candidate. That can be only. their hunch, growing out of cerfain circumstances, but that they believe it is’ enough to make him a force in Republican affairs. Whether he could be nominated may be argued among Replblican politicians, but none discounts the influence that he can exert for cr against various fo didates. Mr. Hoover is not tipping his hand except to urge upon those who seek his advice—and such are numerous indeed—that convention delegates be pledged to nobody.. He definitely is working for no candidate unless iv be for himself. One thing does appear clear. Mr. Hoover, as the only living former President, is determined to keep the Republican Party loyal to the policies which he has advocated. This means opposition to any compromise with New Deal principles such as is suggested by Kenneth Simpson, New York Republican National Committeeman. In this, Mr. Hoover is, as he always has been, consistent. Stubbornly consistent. Never did he weaken, not even when all was lost save Maine and
Vermont. . F J
Cheered by Elections r
Now the tides may have changed. Many Republican leaders think so.. Fearful of what the war might _ do to domestic politics, they profess to be relieved at some of the local election results this week, seeing in them confirmation of the trend away from New Deal ideas which broke out in the general elections a year ago. In Philadelphia this week three Negro
My Day
NEW YORK CITY, Friday—The Florida State Music Teachers Assoclation has a new and novel idea.
Like all citizens of Florida, they feel that no one should be deprived of spending some part of the year in that state. They have started out, therefore, to get 20,000 professional musicians to become members of a club. The idea is that this “Musicians Club of America” will be maintained for the benefit of professional musicians. Any surplus beyond expenses in the club treasury wili . be used to support club members who have reached the age of 70 and who have no other means of support. It will also: go toward providing a congenial ~ home for retired musicians who - may not be in need and who wish to pay something for their support, but cannot afford, perhaps, to be in such a pleasant climate or in as comfortable surroundings as this club mem‘bership will give them. yf Mis Boris Foster, who Haried. thisiides, is. head

Through the mail one ey came a Wook from the East, called “The Golden Swan Murder. » It is by a girl named Dorothy Cameron Disney, and some day 1 think I'll make myself a thousand bucks by writing a magazine piece about her. Because she is not only a friend of some 16 years’ standing, but she is also eminently worth a magazine piece.
Dorothy's murder books scare me to death. This is her third. Her fourth is just about finished. Her greatest writing trouble is that she works out such airtight murder plots that when she comes to the end she can’t solve them herself. But stay ...in a minute I'll be telling you all the interesting stuff that should go into my magazine piece. And while I'm making that thousand bucks, I might as well make another thousand by writing a magazine piece about “her husband. His name is Milton MacKaye, and he and I were cubs together, and you see his name nowadays in practically all the magazines. » 2 8
A Rugged Individualist
There’s just one more story I want to tell. It’s about a rugged ‘individualist in Carmel, Cal. I went one morning into a little coffee shop in Carmel, and gave the waitress my breakfast order-—orange jain, ong egg medium-boiled, erisp bacon, dry. toast and coffee.The girl took the menu, looked at it, “and said,
“That would be No. 3, but No. 3 is a poached egg. You
can’t substitute.” So I said, airily but politely, “Well, I don’t care whether it’s No. 3 or No. 27. I'm not lying to substitute. I'm just ordering what I want.”
And the girl said, “But the cook won't boil one egs. He'll poach one, but not boil one.” So I said, “Well, a man can get one boiled egg if he’s willing to pay for it, can’t he? ' How much is the breakfast I ordered if you make it a la carte?” So the girl, looking extremely doubtful, disappeared into- the. kitchen to find out. In a little while she came out. She looked a little scared, and said: “The cook won't boil one egg under any circumstances; for any price!” And so I left, my vexation completely overshadowed by my-admiration for such a man.

Hollywood. 2 It was on his way to Hollywood that Morton stopped off in Indianapolis. It was the first time he had been back since he ran away 11 years ago. Soon as he entered the town something tugged at his heart, and one evening he went out E. Washington St. to have a look at his birthplace and the old neighborhood. He couldn’t recognize a thing, he says. But in spite of that he liked the old town. For one thing, he made the discovery that of all the towns he had seen in the last 11 years—and remember that the kid had scoured the world—Indianapolis’ was the one town least hit by the depression. : - # =n»
Turns Financial Expert
To get geing on his way to Hollywood, Morton started selling papers at the corner of Delware and Market Sts. He haraly got started when a man with an office on the 12th floor of the Inland Building began ‘kicking. He said he couldn't do a lick of work with Morton's penetrating voice loose on that corner. Morton says that’s nothing. Without half trying he can make his voice reach the top of the highest building in Indianapolis. Morton’s Delaware St. stand got going good when the Senate started debating the Neutrality Bill. The kid knew exactly how to handle it and one noon startled the whole City Market crowd by. yelling “War #8” A man who happened along just then asked sarcastically whether Dy any chance the kid knew what stocks were going up. Sure, said Morton. And to prove it the very next morning he handed the man the names of 10 stocks. Believe it or not, seven of them made good. Which was why Morton moved a little closer to the pulse of the financial district. His present stand af the southwest corner of Market and Pennsylvania Sts. nets him somewhere around $25 a week, more than enough to keep him going. He doesn’t know whether he is still on his way to Hollywood or not. He never plans anything ahead, not even the next five minutes: This much I know about his future, however: He is now working on a book-length: novel with a plot: the like of which nobody ever had the sense:to think: of. It's already half done.

wards which went for Mr. Roosevelt in 1936 by large. majorities are back home in the Republican Party. New Jersey cities presented the Republicans with several new Mayors. Paterson, for instance, returned to a Republican Mayor after 12 years. «Republicans are losing no time in turning to account the decisive defeats of extreme old-age pension schemes in California and Ohio. Although the California pot-of-gold scheme was too raw” even for old Dr. Townsend, a subtle effort is being made to represent this defeat as a setback for New Deal policies. The Republican line is steadily to cultivate the idea that the country is moving in a conservative direction.

The Republican Circles -
“That is where the mysterious musa organizations known as “Republican circles” come in. They are springing up throughout the West, from Denver to the Pacific Coast. Two men, friendly to Mr. Hoover, are organizing them. These “Republican circles” are formed in groups of 20. Leading citizens of a community are selected on a nonpartisan basis. The names are not disclosed, except that -of the secretary. Each member of the circle agrees. to interest 20 others in forming similar circles in an endless-chain system. Each circle is pledged to support the “Hoover principles.” ‘These “Republican circles” are cutting inte regular Republican Party organizations and are causing some complaint, especially from politicians who suspect that later on the Republican circles will turn their indorsement of the “Hoover principles” into an indorsement of Mr. Hoover himself. Why not? Republican leaders want Mr. Roosevelt to run for a third term. If the Republicans will nominate Mr. Roosevelt for a third term, then the Democrats will gladly nominate Mr. Hoover for a second term. The battle of 1932 can be fought all over again.

I have been receiving of late a number of appeals begging that I assist artists who are no longer young. Others beg that I try to obtain a hearing of some kind for some young artist. Of course, when the arts flourished in the old days, it was sufficient for an artist to have a rich patron and then to develop under the protection of his important sponsor. All nobles had their pet artists in many lines who painted
pictures for them, wrote books and verses about
them, or played music for their pleasure. - Today, for

By William Philip Simms Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor VV ASHINGTON, Nov. 11. - =—0n the night of Nov. 7, 21 years ago, five mudspattered automobiles came to a halt at the Belgian town of Chimay, close by the ruins of the once seventurreted castle of Croy.

Crossing the lines during an interval of “cease firing” the Germans reached the French front at La Capelle and. changed to the ‘French automobiles which: ‘they found waiting. Thence on they went, along muddy roads churned up by shellfire and the passage of countless army trucks, guns, caissons and marching feet, through Homblieres to Tergnier, where they were provided with a sleeping car for the rest of the journey. At 7 a. m. on Nov. 8 the car in which the German mission had spent. what was left of the night came toa halt on a siding near a crossroads at Rethondes, in the forest of Compiegne. Fifty yards away was another railway car—a car which had arrived the night before. It was the “office” of Marshal Ferdinand Foch, com-mander-in-chief of the Allied forces. After a hasty breakfast the Germans made their way to the Marshal's car. Promptly at 9 o'clock, the appointed hour, a brisk-moving little man with white hair and mustaches entered and - saluted smartly. Behind him were other officers. Herr Erzberger, as head of his
