"la V. E. Mclntyre there?"
The 'phone is being answered
by the big chief, the man who
keeps your raiment dustless, the
man before whom eyerybody em
ployed about the Elslnore, feels It
becoming to salaam.
- "Nop," aald the Big CLief
who finds It expedient to perform
his Janitorial duties right regular
ly, "nope, ma'am he ain't in.
, The Big Chief tells little, but
in this case he guessed that the
speaker was Mrs. V. E. Mclntyre.
"Keep a secret?" asked the Big
Chief.
"Indeed," replied Mrs. Mcln
. tyre, In the meantime crossing two
slim fingers.
"All right," went on the Big
Chief, "he's a scoutln'."
"Scouting?"
"Yep." said the Big Chief.
We" his chest expanded par
donably "hare been trying to buy
a motion picture which would
come up to Fanchon and Marco's
'Jungle Idea' which shows at the
Elsinore today and tomorrow. And

"Oh. yes," the Big Chief re
minded, "it's called 'Venus of
Venice.' And say, maybe : you
think Mac (to his face always Mr.
Mclntyre) didn't do some work

The Big Chi?f was rather non
plussed. The receiver had either
been hung up while he was be
coming most eloquent, or central
had decided they had talked
enough. .
Anyway the Big ' Chief went
back to his dusting and Mrs. Mc
lntyre did what every gentlewom
an does after a brief chat with
the Elsinore's Janitorial major
domo. Which in rather a long preface
in announcing that the Elsinore
will show, Sunday and Monday,
the feature film, "The Venus of
Venice."
Naturally that is merely one of
the several features.
There are 18 "jungle beauties"
and to employ a hackneyed
phrase they are all that the
name implies. They have nsivete.

no one can describe personality

A. Lindbergh took the rigorous

ination every service flier must
pass twice a year. He was de
clared as near the hypothetical
normal as any flier in the air
corps.
The examination was conducted
by Major I. B- March and P. D
Moulton and lasted two hours.
When it was over Major March
complimented the aviator on his
physical condition and Colonel
Lindbergh replied:
"A lot of newspapers will be
disappointed about that."
During his long flights since he
flew the Atlantic. Colonel Lind
bergh has frequented newspaper
stories that he was on the verge
of a nervous breakdown.
He was asked whether he used
liquor or tobacco. "No," he
answered and then as though on
second thought: "Not that I don't
approve, but I Just don't like the
taste."
In, announcing that Colonel
Lindbergh had been ound to have
flat . feet, Major March said this
went Vwfth his build."
Although otherwise in perfect
physical condition, Major March
said Lindbergh was unquestion
ably underweight, being six feet
two inches tall and weighing only
159 pounds.

are struggling vigorously for su
premacy In the contest with th.
realization that the final result
will depend almost entirely upor.
I what is done these last three days
This ls a real race. Real can
didates are competing. Winning
tin this great contest means more
than merely winning the first
grand prise it means victory over
one of the most formidable list of
candidates who are competing for
truly extraordinary prizes.
Is Worth Watching
All the people are watching this
campaign. Watching every candi
date, waiting to see who can com
mand the greatest- support, who
has the ability to carry on.
No candidate will admit defeat
all are claiming victory, and as
close as the race now stands any
one in the active list of candidates
can walk away with the biggest
prize.
The Statesman's $6,000.00 au
tomobile contest has narrowed
down to the point where only the
'live ones" remain, all of whom
are going at top speed to get their
subscriptions in before the close
of the contest at midnight, Tues
day, March 20.
Such tremendous enthusiasm
and energy was never before seen
in thi3 district as is being shown
on the last lap of this great race
for the very valuable prizes. There
seems to be no limit to the pep
each candidate has stored up for
the finish, which is but three days
away. Candidates who have for
merly been the hardest workers
are still going at it as if they had
saved all their energy for the big
finish. This indicates that every
live wire candidate on the list has
plenty of fight left: it also shows
that the candidates who look
"harmless" now will be among the
strongest when the end comes.
This much . is likely, however,
that whoever wins any of these
prizes probably will do so by a
very narrow margin, though the
winning score will probably ; be
large. If the present leaders are
figuring that. their leads are am
ple they are due for disappolnt-J
ment when the winners are an
nounced. With such a field of
energetic workers, it is certain
that some of the most spectacular
work of the contest is yet to come
