mer sun, a cheery chain letter, car
rying hopes of the return of the froth
and audB, has made Its appearance

form of written epistle to be wel
comed. It voices no threats of bad
luck In case the recipients fall to
send on Ita message, trusting, appar
ently, to their thirst alone for the
continuance of the chain.
It protest prohibition, "an erner
gency measure," and beseeches the
president of the United States to help
folks have tlielr beer again on the
upand-up and out in the open.
With each letter Is enclosed a copy
of the appeal to be mailed President
Hoover and the request for mailing
of chain letters and appeals to ten
other persons, who are In turn asked
to repeat the action, bringing through
the ninth turnover, the forwarding
of 100,000,000 letters to the presi
dent, asking for his approval of the
prohibition repeal.
The chain, according to the letters
received here, started In New Jersey
and has since linked lta way across
the nation Influencing the sending
of an unlimited supply of mall to
Washington, D. C-, all aimed at one
accomplishment the return of beer.
The appeal to President Hoover, In
cluded In the chain, Is based upon
economic conditions exclusively. It
emphasizes the Influence toward cor
rection of the present depression to
be exerted by the president taking a
stand In favor of prohibition repeal.

'HELPFUL' HINTS
FOR MOVIE MAD
By Robhln Coons
HOLLYWOOD Helpful hints on
suooeasful movle-starrlng, as gleaned
from three years' observstlon In the
midst of the scramble:
1. Be nice to everybody: speak to
everyone: have a smile lor prop-boys
aa well aa lor bosses: be a regular
fellow. And be snooty, hold that nose
high; speak to those who can help
you, and not too often to them.
2. Live comfortably, simply; remem
ber you're Just a fad of the moment,
that tomorrow a new eruzle Gluts or
Samuel Smuts will be the public's
Idol; save that big little salary for
future reference. And keep up the
pace; you, Susie, don't let that new
upstart think she can put anything
over: If she annexes a silver super-
auto, you get platinum; and you,
Sammle, If he builds a marble swim
ming pool, you transplant the ocean;
keep the old front shining.
3. In your private life be sweet,
wholesome, simple; If you're happily
married, stay that way, quite brazen
ly; don t let Hollywood and Its gossip-mongers
spoil you. And be bizar
re, fantastic; be touched by the aura
of scandal or suspicion: develop a
past; get on the front page and stay
there aa long as you csn. (You won't
stay long, no matter what you do.)
4. Never drink, smoke, chew, swear,
beat your wife (husband) or tie tin
cans to puppydogs' tails. And do aa
you merry well please.
8. Have a hobby: be athletic, or
literary, or artistic, or all three: have
two hobbles, three hobbles, thousands
of hobbles; collect things, especially
old debte. If you can. And remember
that hobbles don't photograph: that
some day your collections (unless
they're debts) will probsbly go on the
auction Mock.
. Be modest, retiring, self-effacing:
never talk about your own su
perlative talents: throw bouquets at
the other fellow; give your director
credit for your successes. And tell
the truth: you know you're good, say
so: tell how you taught your director
an ne knows.

a position on the council. He eyed
Ed Janney, who was present, with an

forthwith named to head the com
