“GOT ANY BUBBLE GUM, chum?” “Nope-~had some last week but it's all gone.” “Got dny bubble gum?” “1 wish.I did—I could sell a carload.” J 1 wes getting nowhere fast In my quest for the lung snd jaw exerciser at candy _and drug stores located near schools, . _ Tre What about the wholesale houses? Determination flowed hot through my veins. Before the sun get T'd be blowing bubbles—or else, One jobber laughed when I-gsked for bubble gum, Another said when he gets his monthly allotment salesmen take it off the floor as soon ag it comes in. “Seek and ye shall find,".I told myself. “We got in 96 boxes last week, 100 pieces to a box, but that's a drop in the bucket,” another jobber told
me, “In one hour {t was gone.” I heard jobbers say they were “behind the eight
'ball” as far as bubble gum was concerried. The truck-
ing strike was blamed in some instances. : It pays to be full of that “sticktoitiveness.” At last IT found a house that had one box. My pockets bulged with bubble gum. The same old story, When it rains it pours—even where bubble gum is concerned. I told a man-about-town of my long search for bubble gum. Promptly he mentioned a downtown establishment that was loaded with bubble gum and furthermore had

thie man to be right. Sad Story fool Hel fe “HOOFING OVER familiar territory again, T talked to the jobbers who failed ta ly me, They told me » sad story of “quantity “corner onthe | bubble gum market” and that “big outfits get their
bubble gum direct from the east.”. Naturally, I felt sorry for the little guys. But now my concern was bubbles, ‘ ’ A quiet corner and a huge wad of bubble gum aren't all the requirements for king-sized bubblés. I blew bubbles until T was biue in the face. My largest bubble was scarcely worth mentioning. Le My jaws ached, my fillings were loose, and still real bubbles. I needed help but'bad. I got in touch with a praétitioner-in the art of bubble blowing, He let me in on some of the secrets. : You're supposed to flatten the gum with "your topgue, put it behind the front teeth, push out with the tongue just far enough to shape it and then—blow —not too hard, just nice and easy. “Johnny, how do you get the stuff off ‘your nose and lips?" “Don’t you know?” I had to admit I was a novice and didn’t know,
Use Lighter Fluid
“THAT'S EASY. Just take some lighter: fluid and rub it off,” I was told. Lighter fluid yet. “What kind of gum are you using?” Johnny asked. “The nickel stuff. I have three sticks in my mouth
and still can’t get decent bubbles, Johnny. Whatll I do?” “That's too much,” Johnny told me. “A good
bubble blower seldom chews more than one stick at a time and then he saves it for two or three days. And he never chews it in school. That's wasteful. When the teacher catches you with gum she makes you throw it out snd a lot of gum is lost that way.” At last I was checked out, Blow—blow—blow your gum, gently aasaat FIRST. Then, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Up to a point, There's a trick to blowing bubbles, I'm convinced there is. A man should be able to do anything a kid can do. A man in his right mind should be able to blow bubble gum. My case rests even though I can’t prove it. | Tramping around schools, I watched many a bubble-gum blower show his stuff. Flabbergasted, I watched bubbles the size of small pumpkins cover shiny little faces as if by magic. Since I don’t know of any champion of bubble gum, I'll take it on myself to proclaim Lawrence Sutton of 10 W. Kansas st. as “King of Bubble Gum.” 3 Larry, a seyenth grader at St. John's Catholic school, had me bubble-eyed for an entire recess period yesterday. I turned over my last “chaw” of bubble gum to the “King”—long may he blow,

Furious Capehart
WASHINGTON, May 7—The two gentlemen were shouting furiously at each other. Furiously, I was taking notes to match. “You pop off and bounce around like a peacoek,”
_ cried the crimson-necked Senator Homer E. Capehart, the Indiana juke-box king.
Senator Charles W. Tobey, the New Hampshire lawyer, tried to interrupt. Senator Capehart wouldn't let him. He said he didn't like the holy attitude of Senator Tobey. He said he was sick of the proceedings. He sald he. . .
A Smoke for Tobey
THAT'S THE HITCH in this dispatch. The press, namely Othman, was too cidse the story. The whitelipped Senator Tobey reached in his pack for a cigaret. It was empty. He turned to me and asked for a smoke, I put down my pencil and gave him one. All the time the portly lawmaker from Indiana was shouting louder than one of his own phonographs. I heard him say something about Senator Tobey shooting off his: mouth and casting aspersions, but could I take notes? No.. Senator Tobey was fresh out of matches.” - IL 1 gave him a light from my patent lighter, but he was so angry he blew .out the flame. Senator Capehart still was shouting. He was ready to blow up, he said. Senator Tobey was shouting back at him and also trying to-get a light from rhe. Three times he blew out the fire and when finally he ignited his cigaret, some of the choicest insults of this or any other congress had escaped me. : “I don’t like this business of your being all-holy,” snarled Senator Capehart, according to my resumed
notes. Senator Tobey exhaled smoke and said, “Say, now . . +"™ “vou walt a minute” cried Senator Capehart,
whose rieck Jong since had turned from pink to scarlet to purple. “I'm doing the talking and I'm getting

HOLLYWOOD, May 7.—Most villains want to play heroes. But Harry Woods doesn’t. Harry has been a screen badman for 25 years with an amazing record of nearly 500 pictures. “1d rather be hissed than kissed,” says Harry. “The hero has his day, but the villain goes on forever.” Harry started out as a film double-crosser in one of Ruth Roland's serials back- in 1922. Since then he has menaced everyone in Hollywood from Tom Mix to Clark Gable—not to mention the Los Angeles police department. Harry was making a gangster film on location, and they shot a lot of bullet holes through a car for realism. Harry and his “henchmen” drove the gar back to Hollywood and parked it on Vine st. while they went into a restaurant for dinner.
Talked Plenty Fast
WHEN THEY came ouf, Vine st. was completely empty. But on every corner were police with machine guns covering the restaurant and the car with all the bullet holes in it. Some gangsters were on the loose, and the car was a “suspect.” “1 never talked so fast in all my life,” says Harry. Ray Milland probably stars in more pictures per year than any other top-flight Hollywood star. And he thinks it’s a good idea. Most stars think they should do only one or two films a year. : Says Ray: “I take the view that the more pictures I make, the’more I learn. When I started in pictures,

sick and tired of your aspersions. You can't ge away with it. “You bobbed up here and you-hit the ceiling with one of those holy statements. And I'm not going to let. it drop.” Senator. Tobey waited until Senator Capehart ran out of breath: Then he said his fellow legislator had no leg to stand on; not even a crutch. - “Haw,” hawed Senator Capehart. And they were off again. Theirs was one of the niftiest sessions of verbal fisticuffs I ever have heard in the senate and my problem now is to tell you what it was about. "Taint easy, because too many people were sore at too many other people at the same time in the same room, Senator Tobey, as chairman of the banking eommittee, was investigating the RFC’s. multi-million dollar loans to the B. & O. He was questioning Russell Snodgrass, vice president of the. railroad, about a proxy fight started by one Randolph Phillips.
Plenty of What
MR. SNODGRASS said Mr. Phillips was a man who was against the railroad and against the United States. Senator Tobey said that was a dirty statement; -unworthy of a man who called himself a gentleman, A tall, pale-faced young man with a long chin stood up. He said he was Mr. Phillips and he
hart told him to sit down. . Then Mr. Snodgrass said he didn't know what Mr. Phillips’ name was, because he. had been born Randolph Moses, Mr, Phillips said that was true and so what? Senator Capehart said there was plenty of what (and I am quoting him directly). Senator Tobey said he didn’t give a damn (and I'm quoting him, too) about the man’s name or his religion. The gladiators went on from there:and if one of them hadn't run out of smokes in the midst of. the battle, my report on same would have been considerably more complete. Moral for reporters: Don't get too close to your story or it may go up in smoke.

Protective, sacrificing mother love is out of favor. Psychiatrists and psychologists even have a popular word for it, “momism.” 1t is regarded as a fatal blight that stunts the emotional growth of children.

"Pontifical High Mass at Cathedral To Open Celebration; Luncheon Set at Marott
By VICTOR PETERSON . ' ON APRIL 27, 1881, Indianapolis sidewalk spectators watched: a circus parade wind through the, streets. A surrey jolted along in line. Here was something new to a circus. In the rig sat four women. They were clothed in flowing dark frocks and wore large, white-winged headdresses. ; By mistake four Daughters of Charity had mixed in the parade. They arrived, the same day as the red circus wagons, to found St. Vincents hospital and eventually the St. Vincent's hospital school of nursing. Today the school prepares to celebrate its golden jubilee, and the white-winged caps of Daughters of
Charity are a common sight. » » ” SOME 450 alumnae are expected

Indianapolis, will be celebrant of a solemn pontifical high mass. Over a luncheon at the Marott hotel and a tea in the ‘nursing
home, graduates will recall the growth of their school. Since the day of the first enrollment giant strides have been made in’ the size of classes and the physical plant in which the students train.
