Not only no rain but a bright summer day the pet poodles getting an airing in Pershing Square waddle about with their tongues hanging out. We retract that statement about h. A. being just the same. Down town at the noon hour it is still a cross between the basement at the old Chicago Fair and Coney Island on the Fourth of July. But a few days of street walking reveals a stratlinc; transformation the cafeterias are dying out. Many of the Boos establishments are closed with "for rent" signs on the door. Cafeterias started in Los Angeles L. A. without (hem is like a Hollywood chorine without a lipstick. The repeal of prohibition and the return of prosperity, has thus far been the only explanation offered. The Liberty League would no doubt dismiss this as more New Deal propaganda, and perhaps for once the L. L. would be right. ' 'With the cafeteria decline has come a revival of swank night clubs and nifty cocktail place like red pepper on a toasted eheese sandwich. We tackled one last night only a few steps called Omar's Dome. The place crowded, waiters m white mess the impressive head waiter asked if we would be willing to sit down and wait for a few minutes. We declined and started out whereupon he showed great concern, and asked us to follow him. He led us thr-.ugh a winding passage way, heavily carpet ed, and escorted us to a booth, in another room which resembled Omar's Dome without the orchestra and the dance floor. There was a long bar, dim orange indirect lighting, palms, flowers and furnishings in glazed glass, maple and stainless steel. For nil the world like a movie set in Hollywood. VTe were prepared to pay for the atmoi.phere and get gyped on the meal, but truth compels us to state the dollar dinner was very good, the service excellent, and even the hat girl didn't wave her penciled left eyebrow loose at the sight of , a dime. What an anti-climnx however as we went out to find by the light of a Neon sign, that we had not dined in Omar's Dome or its annex but "The Oasis" next door! The OASIS, ISN'T that typically Los An geles tries so hard and comes so near to being the real thing, and never quite makes itl Add prosperity notes: Mr. Ernest Lubitsch, former head of Paramount, left here the other day for a belated honeymoon in Kurope, with the former Vivian Gaye, whom he married last August Interviewed in Chicago regarding his alleged row with Mae West he deposed somewhat as follows5 "Push Mao West around! Her press agent is crazy. Mac it much too heavy for anyone to push around. "She was in the hov business long before I thought of being a produecrl . Kight again, I am 44. Miss West is much older than I am." Imagine, a Paramount director talking to a box office asset like Mae West, in that fashion three years agol Warner Brothers must be right.. They say the movie busi ness today is better than it has been at any time since 1923. .. Well we have sampled more of it sinee our last and can only say as long as one enn see delightful and charming operettas like Rose Marie; origiu.tl and intelligent melodramas like the Petrified Forest, and side-splitting comedies like Charlie Chap lin in Moclern.Timeii, the big boys over in Hollywood DESERVE to make money.' They give value' received and earn their extra dividends (if any) I , There is nothing better than corn beef and cabbage if you like corn beef and cabbage. There is nothing worse if you DON'T. It's all a matter of taste. So with Charley Chaplin. As one of the original Chaplin fans, of course we liked "Modern Times''', and as we haven't seen this is no time to begin.' We guess, there is nothing to say further, except thai Charley sings a song in this oue, as a sing ing waiter, it starts with French, goes to Spanish, ends up with Italian and shows that in addition to his other accomplishments the genius of the silent movie has a voice. He can also perform on roller skates like the man on the flying trapeze, and shows when he emerges from an old piano box, attired in a one-piece swimming suit and taken a swim dive into a mud puddle about, two inches deep, he k also no slouch as an acrobat. His new leading lady however we must admit, is a great disappointment a hard-faced, glass-eyed young Miss, so utterly devoid of screen appeal and charin, we can only conclude Charley is a tragic victim of that middle-aged vanity, which refuses to yield to an oculist's advice until it is too late! .. The Petrified ' Forest I charmingly written, .cleverly con structed, skillfully directed, but in spite of Leslie Howard and Bettc Davis (tip tup in the major roles), an unknown steals the show. At least an unknown to us, he took the part of the gangster gunman from Oklahoma, who made his last stand in the Arizona Bar B-Q service station. In fact we didn't even SEE his name, which reminds us, if we had anything to do with the movies we would put on the cast AFTER the show, as well us BE FORK it, R. W. R. Communications The utorj- of a Hhip To the Editor: The great American liner was plow ing her homeward way across tne Pacific on the old charted course, the passengers eager to again vt loot on the free soil of their beloved homeland. But In mid ocean a new pilot comes lo the wheel. He decide that he knows a better course than the charted one and veers a few points to the south. Most of the paawngttrs do not notice what has happened, niwe who do notlre It say 'Oh well, he will soon put us hack on tne charted course." But aa he turns more and more to the south, fe-ra and protests are heard. They ask. What does this mean?" Others re ply. "What diffrrenee does It make? Who cares tor the old course any way? The pilot probably knows' a better course." Now they are among the South Sra Mauri, many dangerous core! reefs around them but going fvrll steam ahead, on an uucharted vt Thf aroused pawngers demand to be taken bark to their charted couire and to their native land.

The present system of medi cal education Is well adapted to the training cf specialist, brass specialists, but Is far too highbrow and long-winded for the training of good family physicians. It would be better for - the public and better for the profession if we were to return to the system of a generation ago, giving a straight four-year course tn medicine following Immediately up on graduation from high school. Then a year or 18 montha lnterneablp In a hospital or In lieu of that a term of satisfactory service as assistant to a preceptor, and then a license to en ter practice tor himself. Incidentally the graft should be taken out of the licensing of physicians. No good rei son why the state should not Issue a license to any physician who has graduated from a medical school rec ognized by the state. It Is nothing but graft, vicious legitimate graft, that perpetuates the present system of ex acting a fee from the duly graduated physician for a more or less tricky examination before giving him his license. Of course the public pays for all this graft In the end. The public squawks incessantly about the high cost of medical care, but nobody ever thinks of cutting out the graft and shenanigan. I think I know a competent nurse when I see her at work. I've lectured to nurse training classes, sneaked the poor girls thru their examinations when their papers were Just terrible, learned humbly from them how to do things to bring more comfort to pa tients, quarreled vainly with their superintendents over the manner of their training, but I know I can't measure a nurse's ability by any ex amination calculated to determine how much mischievous near-medical knowledge she haa picked up while learning how to care for the sick. Most of the snooty hospitals have u three-year training course for nurses. Dr. Wm. Mayo not long ago express ed the oplnlon that two years of hos pital training Is sufficient to make a good nurse. Of -course It Is. The third year la graft graft for the. hospital, for It gives the hospital a year - of skilled nursing service for Ies than NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Feb. 38.

Comment on the Day's News By frank Jenkins 0F, THE more than half a million automobile accidents In this country last year, 31 per cent, or nearly one out of three, were caused by exceeding the speed limit. That la something to think about when one la tempted to step on it. BUT that isn't auT The death rate In the accideira Involving exceeding the speed limit waa THIRTY-FIVE PER CENT HIGH ER than the average death rate for all accidents resulting from improper driving practices. That Is to say, you're not only more likely to have an accident when you're driving at excessive speed but you're considerably more likely to get killed yourself or to kill someone else If you have an accident. That's something to remember. w TTH the papera still full of Hauptman news, It's Interesting to note that the cost of tne Hautt mann trial to New York, New Jersiy and the United States was a little in excess of a million dollars. Since the purpose of law enforce ment is not so much vengeance for crimes already committed as preven tion of other crimes, one can't help wondering U the Hauptmann trial waa worth what It cost. It begins to look aa If It wouldn t get very far in the way. of discour aging other crimes. WERE hearing a lot In these days about the great advancement Russia la making, and It must be true that great strides are being made over there. '. But according to a -recent official bulletin from Moscow, the average Russian farmer has Just SIX DOL LARS a year to spend. So It looks as If they have room for a lot more advancement befue they get anywhere really worth git ting. - YOU may have noticed that Greece announced s recently that shs'd ilka to make a little payment on' the Interest due on her American war debt. Perhaps you wondered why. , Well, It seems that Greece has tai thrifty notion that If she will pay a little she can BORROW considerably more from the United States than she pays. We've got to admit that these European nations are thrtlty. 4 (Continued from Page One.) A certal n well k nown an 1 1 -Ne w Deal promotion agency was 1 tch I ng to use Ha good's reference to WPA "stage money" at the time It was made. The agency decided not to on the ground that it would not have been effective. It was filed away for future reference. It did not rest long In the file be fore HAgood was removed from com mand. That made it entirely differ ent material from a publicity stand point. The free speech angle alone lifted It out of the realm of minor mlsdemesnors. Everyone able to read has now heard about It. Thus, whatever the merit of the disciplinary action, it became a ma jor publicity blunder. Even New Deal publicity men are now bemoaning It as such In private. They are won dering who waa responsible. They probably will find out. Mr. Roosevelt tins been having un sdertised political conferences dur ing the past few weeks.

Britain haa a way of keeping her military secrets secret, but one has slipped across the seas via diplomatic channels. If you happened to be on the quay at Alexandria, Egypt, these days, you would see proof of it in the harbor. Extensive dredging operations are un der way. It wis not revealed at the time, but when Britain sent Its warships into Alexandria at the height of the Ital ian tension. It was found the har bor would not hold them. The over flow had to be d If patched to Haifa. Also there waa no reasrve ammu nition available at Alexandria then for the 18-inch guns of Britain's mightiest dreadnaughts, the Rodney and Nelson. If those two ships had used the ammunition they carried, they would have been at the mercy of the Italian fleet. That situation also haa been remedied. A western adviser to Mr. Roosevelt has told his colleagues In the sena torial cloakroom that the president should take a four-year rest and run again in 1940. His novel argument Is that whoever tries to bring order out of the present political situation will dig a grave for himself In his tory and elsewhere. ''The novelty purveyor haa not, how ever, suggested that to Mr. Roosevelt. There is no reason to believe he will. Willow Springs WILLOW SPRINGS. Feb. 28. (Spl.)
