LOS ANGELES, March 5. Jimmy Cagney has red hair. Otherwise in real, as opposed to reel life, he looks exactly as he does on the screen. And he talks and acts no differently. He is nervous, abrupt, incisive, with an accent that connotes early life along the Boston waterfront, more than it does his Irish ancestry. In short, Jimmy has all the ear marks and manner isms of rather a tough egg, and in spite of his success and fame, we have an idea that is what he is. .., Down at the City Hall, Jimmy is accusing Warner Brothers of breaking his contract, by forcing him to make five pictures a year instead of four, as Mr, Jack Warner promised. Mr. Jack Warner, who took the stand in all the vigor and opulence of returned prosperity and ripe middle age, accuses Mr. Cagney of breaking the same contract, by refusing to appear in any other pictures for Warner Brothers under any circumstances, unless he was given more dough, in fact "a lot more dough." "Dough, not fewer pictures," is what is bothering Jimmy in Brother Warner's opinion. , Through his brother Bill Cagney, who for six months has been acting as his agent and manager, Jimmy as emphatically denies this and maintains, he is only worried about his reputa tion, his art, his standing, and more than four pictures a year would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, goose in this instance beinp, the metaphorical term for the dear people, who plunk down their nickels and dimes at the box office. (Which, incidently, isn't so BAD). . A . . . All of which is quite amusing and diverting, far more so we imagine than attending the matinee performance of Edith Wharton's "Old Maid" at the Biltmore theatre, which would have cost us $2, whereas attending the Warner-Gagney drama, cost us nothing more expensive than pushing through tho standees at the door with a borrowed press badge. Moreover, we had the pleasure of sitting timidst a fine assortment of per fumed and over-dressed movie stars, we were able to recog nize none of them, but the boy on our left with rolled down socks and side burns was kind enough to point out a very alluring miss, in a cerulean blue ensemble he said was Joan Blondell's "stand in." However that may be so much elegance and fragrance gave an added touch to the court-room atmos phere. We were interested in Mr. Jack Warner, who was on the stand when we entered. He was a symphony in dark brown, including his attractive and well molded face, brown suit, brown tie, brown shirt of a slightly lighter tone, and a good healthy tan, through which, the rich red blood flows. He was near the end of a long cross examination, but was the picture of coolness, nonchalance and self possession. He had that un mistakcable but elusive "something" that usually accompanies the financially secure and physically vigorous man. One felt no matter what happened in that court room he would never be flurried, never lose that poise he lived among the Olymp ians, and this court business really was rather childish and amusing. Not so the Cagneys, Jimmy and Bill. Bill followed Mr. Warner on the stand, he was pale, nervous, not quite at his oase, rather reminded one of a little; boy who had done some thing naughty and had to face teacher after school. Not that he stuttered or stumbled he told a pertectly clear and co herent story expressed himself ratb well in fact, but one felt instinctively he was not quite sure of himself or of his ground. Jimmy was nervous also, and while his brother testi fied kept running one finger around his collar, as if it were choking him a trifle. No doubt there is a reason other than the native calibre of theso two prominent Hollywood figures and that reason we surmise is the Cagney boys are in bad. We may be entirely wrong of course the judge may rule in their favor, but our hunch is he won't. At any rate, the case is interesting in bring- I.-. ..... ui: I 3 iA.,..n..t.. :.. rr-ii.. jug uui. tvnai unievu una iia'jirnt-u vuij i, Murin.iy III Jiuuv- wood since the movie industry hecame one of the largest and richest industries in the United States. ..... Not so long ago Jimmy Cagney was doing the "twice a day" circuit and glad to get $100 a week. Overnight, so to Rpeak, he popped into prominence and fame. And with fume and promin ence came money more than he had in his wildest moments ever dreamed of. His salary bounced up to $1400, anil the con tract that lie or Brother Warner violated, called for $3000 a week, while the option two years hence stipulated $4500! not a year, or a month a WEEK I . With that money came many other things. Swimming pool palaces, Rolls Royces, and of course, an agent and manager the latter job being filled by brother Bill. Now a movie agent in Hollywood is a little like a walking delegate in a water front labor union, it is up to him to do something and keep on doing something. If he doesn't, then why give him a salary the old vicious oirele I So Brother Bill figured he had to make good, and proceeded to do so in the direction of lipping Jimmy's pay check. Not only lipping THAT, but serving Warner Brothers with various and sundry COMMANDS, such as control over how many pictures Jinimv should make; who should direct him, what the story should be and who should make up the supporting cast. Yes, all that came out during the afternoon session, in one wav anil another. In short and to wit, all that sudden affluence went to Jimmy's head, and to Brother Bill's as well. they decided they had the world by the tail, and all they needed to do was, pull it hereupon, up popped the devil m the shape of the Warner Brothers, who had had experience before with just such de lusions of grandeur, and instead of listening further to what THEY had to do, proceeded to tell the Messers. Cagnev what they (T1:LD do, i.e., toe the mark or jump in the lakel All of which, as above indicated, may or may not be correct. but at least is the impression we got from attending this hear ing today, and serves to fulfill the obligations of OUR present contract with the Medford Mail Tribune to provide something for the editorial column nt least five times per week. and buy our own postage stamps!

It in crease.! the cost ot living. It Imposes a tax of from four to twelve dollars a year on every resident. It d 1 m Intshes ma t e r 1 a 1 1 y Vie growth of plants and therefore makes food more expensive. Exper iments carried on at Leeds, Eng land, showed that lettuce grew four times as fast In a clesr district as It did In a smoicy district. Smoke In the atmosphere absorbs the ultraviolet of sunlight. Baltimore health department found there was 60 per cent more ultraviolet light In the country than In the city. Chicago health department found tnere was a loss ot from 43 to 51 percent of the ultraviolet light In Chicago on smoxy days. New take Pittsburgh. Famous for smoke and soot. And grime and gra well, famous that way. The Mellon Institute studied the pall and made some estimates of the results. For in stance the proper stoking of furnaces would prevent a loss of fuel due to Imperfect combustion of about $2 80 a year for each person In the city. O'Connor who conducted the Ins;l tute's survey, estimated that the exTa expense of cleaning clothes, laundry and dry-cleaning due to the pall In Pittsburgh Is 4.10 a year for each person. The expense of repainting, repaperlng, replacing hangings, re pairing residences and other build ings and washing windows soiled by smoke amounts to $2.28 per annum per person. The loss due to damage of merchandise In stores by smoite In the air Is $3 a year for each person. The pall also diminishes the amount of daylight and Increases lighting bills. O'Connor placed the economic loss from smoke In , Pittsburgh at about $20 a year for each person. The U. S. Public Health Service found that 296 tons of smoke and dust were deposited In Washington. D. C, a comparatively smokeless place. , per square mile per year, 154 tons of i which was carbon and 142 tons ash. In Pittsburgh, the Mellon Institute I Investigation Indicated, tho annual ! deposit of dust amounts to 1,031 tons to the square mile. The O' it look Is1 even darker in Baltimore, where 1,800 ! tons of dust Is deposited over a square : mile In a year. Salt Lake City Is fair ly bright, with only 250 tons of dust per square mile per annum. If you want to get out from under you should go to Colorado Springs the Insignificant trace of smoke comes from the cigarette stubs the weaker sex throw away. Or sojourn in South ern California of Southern Florida where there la no smoke at all to speak of, save the seasonal smudge whey they are beating the orange groves. As a question of economy, comfort and health, would It not be wise to spend, say, ten cents a year per per son, on, a systematic program to elim inate at least the great excess of smoke pollution, which is quite un necessary In any case and Intolerable In a residential district? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Flowers for the Blondes German chamomile flowers are good for rinsing blond hair. T.iIb rinse, I find, gives the hair a real tone and It Is not dangerous either. (M. C. R.) ' Answer Thank you. Chamomile fa la not so good for the purpose as an Infusion of the dried chamomile flow ers still better a percolation. That Is, boiling drives off the pleasant odor or aroma and part of the medicinal value, just as boiling ruins coffee Itchy No Habee My husband has the samo trouble described by C. M. R. In your column such and such a day. . . . (Mrs. J. O. F.) Answer well, let him Itch then, if he Is so blamed modest he can't bring himself to mention It In a private letter. Correspondents who don't mind mentioning the nature of the trouble are welcome to the monograph "Pru ritus," If they Inclose stamped ad dressed envelope to carry it. Pruri tus Is medlcalese for Itching without visible cause. The monograph also deals with old fashioned itch, ery thema, and one or two other condi tions where the cause Is evident. Vitamin A Will you kindly give a list of foods rich in Vitamin A. Also, when you speak of cod liver oil for those trou bled with what the doctors call rheu matism, should a man 80 years old take cod liver oil? If so, what doses and how often? . . . . (F. d. J.) Answer Liver, kidney, raw carrots. cheese, fresh cream, butter, egg yolk, alfalfa, escarole, whole milk, condens ed milk, evaporated milk, young green peas, green peppers, oysters, fresh pineapple, canned pineapple, raw slnach, orange, orange Juice, raw to mato, canned tomato, tomato Juice, whale oil, wheat, wheat embryo, mid dlings, pumpkin, squash, raw cabbape, cantaloupe, green leaves of celeaV onion, lettuce, romalne, sweet potato, young clover, yellow corn.
