NUMBER 38 I EX- STILL RIDING IT'S A COLD, CRUEL WORLD (By Charles P.

For, as all. the, world knows, lio's, an ox-cowboy. Xn ox-cowboy, hey! He must bo a picturesque sight In Wash ington, In his four-gallon hat, his fringed chaps, his high-heeled boots with spurs rattling, his ban dana knotted loosely In front of his a dam's apple, his flapping no. no cut out the six gun. He wouldn't wear that in Washington. But a breezy western figure anyway! lopping ulong one of the Uuck creek bridle paths on his rough, tough little, cay use. See him sway easily In his deep Mex saddle as ho rolls a pill for himself with one hand and snaps a match aflame with his thumbnail. , A picture of the good old times and wldo open spaces, when and where men was men and all that stuff, ain't it? Well, it's purely a fcmcy picture, far us Washington iad Secretary Jardlne, are concern ed. What Secretary Jardlne real ly does ride is a tall, gangling, elegantly groomed animal with a wild rolling t ic, a dilated nostril, a rat tail and a roached coiffure a perfect type of the Kngllsh hunt er oil bedight In as Kngllsh a sad dle and accessories as the l'rlnce of Wales ever parted - company from a water jump. ' i How does Secretary Jardinc sit thin critter? Believe me, he doesn't sit him like a centaur. Neither does ho sit him like a cattleman, rather, slouchlly, with legs at full stretch.' He's anything but a man and a horse. He's a man on a liorse. He's distinctly superim posed.. He sits In a fushlon no tan bark riding master could find the least-fault with. He sits with his knees hiked up in front of him un 111 it's funny he doesn't bump his chin against 'em when he bounces. He sits there insecurely on that little leather wafer, with nothing to hung .on by, and somehow he manages to keep from being shot off into snaco ' when his mount breaks Into a canter; -.As for- Jopc, that' horse would laugh out loud if such a thing were suggesieu to him. i " i NURSE VISITS PERRY Sdfl L I'KltUY (Special) Miss Allco Marquardt, county health nurse. visited JVrry schools last week and examined the children for dofectivo eyslgiit and other ailments.

Oil. (AP) Where are the song-slides of yes teryear, and where are the earliest American picture actors who posed for these quaint, sentimental stereoptiean views? Most of the song-sltdes no doubt have been thrown away long ago. save for a few still hoarded as souvenirs by the theater folk of a passing generation; but as for the "picture actors" who posed for them, some -are just where one might expect to find them in the movies. . ; . For instance, a search of the Famous Players-l.usky lot here re venl'Ml Tom Fortune, who whs headlined In the nineties us a sing- , er of popular songs. Fortune ' claims to have been the first en-1 lerUiner to sing song-hits to the accompaniment ' of stereoptiean slides. It was in 1S36, in the American theator on Chicago's north side, that lie was engaged to Introduce this startling Innovation to the playgoing public. Between the acts of a comedy being presented at. the. American, lie sang "After the Ball and other compositions of the day. The lantern slides illustrating hts songs were, a big hit. " Soon the making of song slides became a small -industry. -Fnrtuno posed- for many--slide. Usually a slide had to be made for -each line of the song, t: .First one posed with one's partner for "In this Shndo of the Old Apple Tree," and then snapped into the tableau for "Where the Lovo in Your Kyes I Could See," and so on through the simtlmcnla! Itlner ary of the ballad. From I his posing for song-slldps lo acting in motion pictures was a natural transition. When Kdlson produced "Tho. Great Train Rob bery."
