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,

Marlene Dietrich walked in blue flannels, double breasted

everyone was disappointed. They DO say that Maurice and

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

However Mrs. Wood says we are all wrong, it's just be

around quite serious in his work. He had his bodyguard with
him however an East Side Jew with a nose almost as large as

We went to see them work on "Tick Up." They were shoot

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

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. Have to see "Tick Up" later.

There Is no reason to Imagine that
the brain, mind or nervous systsm

our knowledge the functioning of
brain, mind or nerves Involves so lit

metabolism, as to be practically negli

Is called "work" only by courtesy.
There Is no evidence that any appre

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

That contention contains a lot of

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

here to see what la going on and take

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
