Hollywood, Feb. 16 (LP) Charles
Chaplin's name appeared today for
the first time as the author of a
short story whlrh carried into print

of a story that "will never be writ
ten," told of a scientist who had
discovered a genuine cure for all
disease.
As the myriads of afflicted flock
to his door, the professor is forced
to choose whom he shall treat first.
Many must die before he can con
sider their cases. Giving his rea
sons in whimsical conversation with
an assistant, the professor, "who
cares neither for money nor fame,'
chooses poets first.
"Because they (poets) are the
source and spring of all Inspira
tion," the professor explains. "They
are the high priests of the soul, who
preach the gospel of beauty; they
write the text books of all civiliza
tions and lay the foundations of our
desires."

VOTE CHANGE IN
ZONING-AREAS
The city planning and toning
commission, at a meeting hut night,
voted to recommend to the city
council that two half blocks in the
vicinity of Commercial, Saginaw
and Mission streets be changed from
residential tone 2 to residential
zone 1, bo they may be exclusive
residential districts.
The half blocks affected are: the
west half of the block bounded by
Mission, Saginaw, Kearney and
Commercial streets, and the east
half of the block bounded by Mis
sion, Saginaw, Bush and Fir streets.
The former makes an exception of
the property owned by Dr. O. E.
Prime.
With the classification as zone 2
it was permissable, under the zon
ing ordinance, fur apartment hous
es to be established in the district.
This will not be permissible if the
city council approve the recom
mendation of the zoning commis
sion. The agitation for change, which
developed Into a small controversy
when Dr. Prime started the estab
lishment of some businesses in the
district, has been before the com
mission for some months. One of
the petitions for change was head
ed by D. C. Minto and the other
by Leo G. Page.
Pasadena, Calif., Feb. 10 (fPh-The
sun, under close observation the
world around, has broken out with
four new spots.
This indicates. Dr. Seth B. Nichol
son, astronomer of the Carnegie
institution's Mount Wilson observa
tory said today, that the minimum
of a 10 Vi year cycle hasp asscd.
From now on old Sol will be
watched as closely as a rich child
with a strange malady under the
care of a large staff of specialists
and aids.
Astronomers and other scientists
have learned that increasing sun
spots presage more frequent mag
netic disturbances on the earth,
with occasional Intciuption of tele
graph and telephone transmission.
The aurora borealis, or ri.Tthern
lights, will becoms visible farther
south.
There is good evidence that ultra
violet radiation will increase, bring

bathers. There is a tentative indi
cation that possible cooler weather
may be expected the year round.

WEN SEES
Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 16 (JP) Dr.
George F. Warren, financial advis
or to President Roosevelt, sees "solid
ground for expecting each year to
show a distinct improvement" to
ward recovery.
Speaking before hundreds of farm
residents at Cornell's annual farm
and home week ceremonies, the
Cornell economist "hoped that pro
vision will be made for an im
proved monetary system for the
future." At this stage of recovery
lie saw desirability of placing "pri
mary emphasis on the volume of
sales and volume of employment."
Noting "very little improvement
in nations still on the gold stand
ard, he declared "unemployment
and economic distress are resulting
in political upheavals in France
and other countries.
Dr. Warren emphasized that "the
value of gold is not a thing that
any country can control, since this
is a "matter of world supply and
world demand," but "any country
can set its own price for gold," as
the United States has done. "Any
absolute tie to a given weight of
gold," he cautioned, "la likely to
continue to cause violent fluctua
tions in commodity prices."

Applications for Jobs with the
state liquor commission, which have
reached the 10,000 mark, have fallen

since the rush began, officials said
today.
To date approximately 50 appli

enough alcohol in twelve pieces to
constitute a full-sized drink.

CHANCE TO TALK
BACK TO PREACHER
