In her stateroom sits Ina Claire, who acts. Xow on her way to the movies, she plays backgam mon with Mr. "Iiarpo" Marx, who also acts. The Los Augclcs Examiner, boarding the train early, tells you that Ina Claire says she is living apart from her husband, John Gilbert, also' a screen ac tor, because "there is some thing fascinating about separa tion," and, says Miss Claire: "We arc both stars and tem I eramcntal. Two such persons in the same house is bad for happiness in marriage." 4 ' Astronomers will-tell. Mis Claire that there are in the fir mament stars even bigger than any in Hollywood, "double stars" that travel through infi nite space and time together happily. On the train also is J. 0. Jcrnigan, first class flier who drove the plane that towed Cap tain Ilawkes, today's best flier in America, from San Diego to New York, Hawks sitting in a glider. Mr. Jcrnigan, who has been flying ever since he entered Hie war. believes that aviation is on the verge oT something new and entirely different from anything ever seen before. Un doubtedly he is right. Men do not solve problems by imitat ing birds or other -animals. They develop ideas of their own, invent new things sur passing anything that Mother Nature can do. The present airplane is only an imitation of an eagle and does not work as well.

Tho stand of house proponents was unchanged materially by Secretary Mellon'a denunciation of tho Bacharach proposal. They went forward with plans while the opposition appeared without a leader.

FARM BOARD JOB Harvester Corporation To Again Require Services Next March Private Grain Traders and Farm er Both Criticised Policies He Insulted Kansas. CHICAGO, Feb. 14. (ft) Alex under Leggo will retire from tho chairmanship of the federal farm board shortly after March 4, to re-enter tho International . liar vestor company. It had been reported Mr. Leggo would resign heforo many months, but this action was not generally expected to occur so soon after the end of the present term oC congress. Mr. Legge became chairman of tho board July I, 1929. At that time, It was stated ho probably would not retain the post mora than a year, as the International Harvester company, which loaned him to tho government, desired his return to its service; - Mr. Legge then felt a year was all ho could devote to tho chairman ship. Frequent attacks on Mr. Legge'n handling of tho wheat situation havo been made by representatives of farm groups and others. To all critics, ho has replied vigor ously, but many of his associates believe tho attacks Influenced his decision to retiro from public ser vice, which, in his opinion, 'does not always receive merited popu lar support. 1 1 " : : Until Mr. Legge accepted' tho farm chairmanship which , thretir him Into violent controversy with former closo associates of the grain trade, his native taciturnity hud shrouded him almost com pletely from tho public cyo. Ho was adverse to Interviews, glad enough- to meet his wallers, but liked to' question rather than be questioned. To photographors h said a firm "no." ' ' ' 4 A now Alexander Legge came to existence as guiding genius of the United States government's first venturo into buying: and sell ing on tho commodity markets. His position stripped from him tho musk of silence, drove him to tho front pages of the press and forocd him to swing around tho great American farm community In a speaking campaign to cnunc lute the policies and solicit co-operation for tho farm board. Tho board's market activities under his leadership engaged him in sharp conflict with tho prlvato gruln trudo, und its advocacy of diversification of crops and small or wheut acroago mingled en countered opposition and co-operation of agriculture. His utter ances wore uncompromising, for tho right, determined. During his. stumping through Kansas, tho principal wheut state, ho Incurred tho hostility of Max and Louis Levand, publishers, of tho Wichita Beacon, who demand ed his resignation and assorted ho had insulted Kansas with tho statomont: "Tho biggest hog lies In tho trough; Kansas Is now In tho trough," Mr. Leggo, replying to their charge, said he had merely questioned "Is Kansus ttt the trough?" and added: , "You may tell Mux und Louis to go to hell." When Mr. Leggo gave up the presidency of the International Harvester company for tho farm board post that might last a year ho foresworo a $100,000 yearly sulary for $12,000. It was not his first publlo serv ice It has been related that Uornard Baruch, chairman of tho war industries board, had never heard of Leggo when his namo was suggested during tho war" to head the allied purchasing com mission. An associate of Mr. Hratieh Is said to havo pointed to Legge.'s namo on the roster of eliglbles and said: ' i - "There's your man, but you can not got him. He knows ' Europe, ho knows human nature, he u a very shrewd trader, he is as straight as a die and an unbeat able tighter. His is the best head In tho International leadership and gentleness."
