Editorial Correspondence HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 27. the place wag packed and guidance of Mrs. Virginia "Wood, publicity executive, looked in on a number of "takes." Ran into something entirely babies, back stage, looked for all the world like triplets but weren't. Each had a proud but rather apprehensive mother in attendance, each six months old (the babies), two rather sleepy when we arrived, the other very much awake, and telling the world about it. The very-much-awake infant been "shot" with Maurice Chevalier in "Bed Time Story" and had raised such a howl that not only were visitors barred from proceeding further, but the entire performance had been tem porarily abandoned. " He had stopped howling but he wag doing a lot of shadow boxing and appeared to be foaming at the mouth. He had been chosen No. 1 from several hundred babies, because of his good disposition and his "Chevalier" smile, but when they tried to make the little man stick out operation interfered with his trying to become a tooth and position and the smile, we mean. BABY, and what he did to the cording apparatus and his indulgent Ma-ma was just nobody's business. His mama had been first aid, and the sound machine station for repairs. Whon we arrived No. 2 Mama was attending to both babies, assisted by a delicate featured was the father of neither, for chirping, idiotically, before one and then the other, with ad mirable impartiality. This performance, howover, didn't seem to interest Baby No. 1, or please No. 2, who was anxious to go to sleep. So the mother a large, smiling, competent ap pearing young woman, picked J ! " . i i i n uitrrjuKe wun ner own no. s, auu aaitt sue wuuiu wuuei mum about in the sunshine for a while. This suggestion appealed to the delicately featured young man as nothing short of an inspiration of genius. "Just the thing" he cried, and he assisted in the operation by grabbing one end of the carriage, and stumbling backward down the steps, but was able to keep from falling down by hanging on to the gunwale, until Mother No. 2 reached the level ground, and set everything in order again. "Bye, Bye," he cooed waving one hand, as the cavalcade moved off then he sat down on the cement step, mopped his brow, and pulled out a cigaret. Later at the restaurant Chevalier came in, like one of Perry's "bouncing fathers," and sat down at the table next to ours with six or eight others all men. , If his recont ordeal had bothered him he showed no outward signs of it. Fresh as a daisy, with his familiar smile working (in spite of the report that he never smiles exoept when he is in front of a oaiucra), and obviously with a lusty appetite. A little girl nearby came up to shake hands and get an autograph, she foot both. Marlene Dietrich walked in blue flannels, double breasted coat and trousers rather more attractive we thought in the flesh than in pictures she looked about the room, somehow suggesting a beautiful butterfly hovering (if one oan suggest a thing like that), but Maurice had his back to the door, so everyone was disappointed. They DO say that Maurice and Marlone, eto., etc. ... "The best laid plans of mice and men." This was the advice given the youngest member of our party, "'WLen Chevalier turns around and looks at you again, for Heaven's sake smile smile don't look so aour. Smile you never CAN tell." But the great screen favorite did look around again and the young lady had a bunch of head lettuce half way in her mouth and COULDN'T smile and for that matter didn't try to. Her closest of kin on the maternal side is oonvinced that but for that bunch of lettuce, a eertain family in Medford would have another Mitri Green in the movies, and no more worry about the poorhouse in their Nancy Carrol has very dark auburn hair, which may be no news but we always pictured her hair as brown or blaok. She sat on the other side, with a light "complected" young man, in a polo coat several sizes too big for him. Later they were joined by four other men which didn't seem to please Nancy, at least ahe talked very litt.e and appeared rather glum. She is quite pretty in the approved Hollywood Btyle, but somehow lacks distinction. She was in make-up as were most of the stars in the restaurant. "Looks as though she had been sprayed with lime and sulphur" said the, young lady in the party. Not bad I . Two tables from Nancy sat George Raft much publicized as a socond Valentino. Wasted effort say we for ho has some thing unmistakably underworld about him night clubish sinister with the accent on the first syllable. However Mrs. Wood says we are all wrong, it's just be cause we have always seen him in such parts. That George is really the nicest boy sweet in -fact never drinks, or plays around quite serious in his work. He had his bodyguard with him however an East Side Jew with a nose almost as large as Schnoxzle Durante 's. He is also his secretary, trainer, and has the part of a taxi driver in the Raft picture now in preparation "Pick Up." We went to see them work on "Tick Up." They were shoot ing a scene in a taxi cab headquarters, a big set of offices, full of stenographers, clerks, ete., a taxi coming down an incline onto the basement floor, and Sylvia Sydney as a telephone girl, at the swik-hboard, a new star, Patricia Farley, working with her. Speaking of what Naney Carrol lacks, here is a girl who has it Sylvia Sydney distinction, we mean individuality she's DIFFERENT. . During the shooting she got twisted in her lines and stuck out her tongue and shrugged her shoulders, and told the direc tor, who talked with a decided German accent she was sorry. The whole thing had to be done over again of course. But as for that, they are all done over again and again. Then there was a cable slap In pulling down the taxi cab, and another take was ruined. They were starting everything over again for the steenth time when we left.

The skepticism of the uninformed Is Invariably aroused when we allude here to the sclentlflo fact that there Is no such thing as nervous ener gy, ' nerve power, brain fag, nerve strain or nervous exhaustion. Such an assertion does not Jibe with the favorite fancies of that portion of the p o p u 1 atlon whose education along these lines Is at the hands of the great nos trum and quackery Interest. Never theless, It Is the undebatable sclen tlflo truth. Plnd me a physician of etandlng, a physiologist, or any other reputable authority who dares to take Issue with the fact as I state It. Although we have not yet solved the mystery of sleep and may never know any more than we know now about It, we do know that the princi pal purpose of sleep Is to give the body rest and permit recuperation of its worn or exhausted powers, espec. lslly muscular powers. Sleeo Is not primarily for ths benefit of the brsln. the mind or the nervous system. There Is no reason to Imagine that the brain, mind or nervous systsm needs recuperation. To the best of our knowledge the functioning of brain, mind or nerves Involves so lit tle expenditure of energy, so little metabolism, as to be practically negli gible In that respect. Using the mind Is called "work" only by courtesy. There Is no evidence that any appre ciable amount of energy Is expended in so-called "brain work." Certainly there Is no evidence that the func tioning of nerves In any or all parts of the body Is at the expense of energy, strength or nourishment. The functioning of nerves 1 comparable with the functioning of the wire of your telephone ystm. It doesn't wsar out or exhaust tbe wire to con vey the message, the Impulse. That's preclssly what nerves do, and It Is all that nerves do. They convey mes sages. Impulses; they do not expend energy. Muscles do thaet. Now see here, doesn't It stand to reason, even If you're a wiseacre lay man without any knowledge of anat omy or physiology or hygiene or path, ology. doesn't It stand to reason that If "brain work" and so called "nerve strain" and "high tension" Jobs In volved any expenditure of energy or any exhaustion of nerve power or Your Income Tax A terlM of dally articles based on revenue act of 1933 and designed to aid thotfl required to file In come tax returns for year 10.18 How to Avoid Common Error. The period for the filing of Income tax return covering the calendar year 1033 begins January 1 and ends at midnight of March 15. Within this period are filed annually mil lions of Individual Income tax re turns, a large proportion of whlfth re port Income subject to the tax. The latter contain a considerable per rentage of errors, which if uncorrect ed by the audit would result to the disadvantage of the taxpayer. Many are errors of computation easily dis covered onthe face of the return, which usually Is accompanied by a payment of more than the amount due. In other returns It la readily discernible that the taxpayer has failed to take advantage of the per sonal exemption, credit allowed for dependents, or deductions from gross Income to which he la entitled. To avoid these and other errors, the bureau of Internal revenue urge careful reading of the Instructions on the forms for filing the returns. Additional Information, If needed, may be obtained at the office of a collector of Internal revenue, dep uty oollector, or an Internal revenue agent In charge. Also, as a further aid In the preparation of a correct Income tax return for the vear 1832 the bureau has prepared a aeries of short newspaper articles, of whio.i this Is the first, advising the salaried man, wage earner, professional and business man. in fact, every class of Individual taxpayer of hts re quirements and privileges as Inter preted under the latest regulations, ruling, and decision relating to the income tax law.

Appointment of this three times aspirant for the presidential nomina tion to a cabinet position would be regarded aa a good choice by many RKchle supporters who like his forth rlghtness on political questions, his avowed hostility to federal bureauc racy and his "gooa business sense." Some cabinet "dopeaters have put hlra at the head of the huge depart ment of commerce, others have "pick ed him for attorney general or sec retary of the Interior. The high fiscal standing attained by the Free Stat during his regime and maintained In the economic cri sis has given national status to hts reputation aa an administrator.

PAY INCOME TAX AND AVOID RUSH IS FOY'S APPEAL Many Jackson county persons haw already paid their federal income tax es since the announcement last week that taxes on 1932 Income are due and payable, according to B. I. Poy. deputy collector, but many more must be tiled before March is, wnen the time for filing close. Due to the lowsring of the brack ets In the 1932 Revenue act, hun dreds of persons must file returns who did not file them before, Poy said. The exemptions for single per sons were lowered from eiSOO to $1000. and .for married persons from 3500 to 2600. .

HIGH AREAS GET HEAVY SNOWS IN (Continued from Page One) now than at the same time last year. according to all official reports, and What snow there is has a higher mois ture content, flnow depth at the rim of Crater Lake la now 15 feet six inchea: 13 feet four Inches at Gov ernment camp, ar.il 10 feet six inch es at Annie Springs. The depth of the snow Is expected to increase steadily until the middle of March. Many deer are being forced from the high hills into the valley, due to the snow, and ranchers are reporting that the deer are getting into their hav stacks and yards. The snow crew at Crater Lake has been able to keep the roads open, of ficials report, but only within the boundaries of the park. Late last week the plows got behind some, but dug out over the week-end. Rangers stationed at the lake are unable to get out except by a long trek on skis or snowshoes. so have stayed in the camp. Telephone communication to the lake by way of Klamath Falls la still open, but the west line Is down. Skiers at Butto Falls Sunday re ported nearly two feet of snow there, with nearly four feet on the Siski you. About two feet of snow la also reported on Big Applegate, in the vicinity of the Star Ranger atatlon. 4 Oregon Weather ' Generally cloudy tonight and Tues day with occasional rain in west and local snow in east portion; little change in temperature; moderate southerly winds offshore increasing tonight. 4 World traffic In wheat rose aharp ly during the week ending January 14. with North America and Australia clearing the major share of the 10.. wa.000 bushels cleared during this period. During the first six months of the current crop season, weekly shipments averaged only 10.800,003 bushels. 4 Wholesaler believe the usual spring buying movement win spread out over the season. Instead of being lumped at one time. Current activity among wholesaler la largely confined to "odd lot" sales. Bankers are opposing the issuance of scrip to be used as money, while the movement gains headway In many small towns.

It may be, of course, that wicked lobbyists are gathered here, and It may also be that other wicked lobbyist have been gathered here In the past. But at least nine out of every ten who are collected In the lobbies of the state house, observing the course of legislation and putting In an oar from time to time, are here for perfectly legitimate purposes, and It Is equally true that, taking it by and large, the state BENEFITS, in stead of being Injured, by the ac tivities of these citizens who come here to see what la going on and take a little hand in the proceedings when they get a chance. T haa been the custom in Oregon for yeara without number to poke fun a legislators and Intimate that they are a wicked find self-seeking R. Smith 155 188 103 ahm and none too competent lot. But that, too, Is canard. Taking them aa a whole, the men who compose the Oregon legislature are GOOD men, above the average In ability, patriotism and love of their state, and honestly Intent upon do ing the very best they can. Believe that or not, aa you choose But, in the main, it is true. tHE present legislature has done nothing startling yet. The gen eral Impression la that It is alow in getting into action. But its commit tees are busy, and It la probable that in two or three weeks more something will begin to show up. Tou cant solve all the accumulated problems of a state in two or three weeks. Finding solutions for a lot of troubles takes time. And it also takes time to Induce several hundred people to AGREE on what IS the proper solution. So don't get too Impatient with the legislature.
