WASHINGTON, July 27
(AP Actual disarmament by

Senator Watson, of Indiana, the

conference on war debts and re

And the department of ag
riculture will hold its annual
picnic tomorrow, after five
o'clock at the fairgrounds.
This will be the first annual
picnic of the department as
the organization is just a lit
tie more than a year old. Sup
per will be served with staff
members and their families
bringing the food. Looks like
no swimming, though.
Rufus C. Holman is strong
for standardization of wages.
In fact he is so sold on the idea
that he urges standardization
before another reduction in
state salaries, and then if nec
essary the cuts be based upon
the new schedule. Not a bad
idea at all.
While speaking of the agrlcul
ture department and the fair
grounds, one is reminded that
; the annual fair is not far off. Just
two more months remain to pre
pare for the annual event. Much
interest is noted in plans tor this
years fair, which will operate
without horse races and stock
shows, but with other attractions.

According to the M.G.M. offi

Grand Hotel" is adapted from
the widely-read novel of the same

screen version is said to represent
a blending of salient points ot the
novel and the subsequent stage
play which ran for more than a
year in New York. At the same
time. Director Edmund Gouldlng
points out, none of the action in
the film goes beyond the four
walls of the Berlin hotel from
which the story derives its name.
"Grand Hotel" is one of the
few stories ever written, explained
Director Gouldlng, where no sin

at least five are equally Important

The part of Grusinskaya, the
