kins, cf Elnnvcod, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Wilkins, who will also at
tend the same school.. The young men
are being taken to LeMars by the

C. F. Weber, will enter the Wesleyan
j University at University Place with
j the beginning of the present week,

a sneaker at a meeting held in Mur
dock early last week and the meeting
wes attended by a large number of

tion, thi3 is denied by those who ar
ranged for his appearance here.

mittee, asserted flatly the president

ton Sinclair, military liberal recent
ly chosen democratic nominee for
governor of California.
"The public need not be concern
ed as to where the president will
stand on any of these measures
(which have come up since the adop
tion of the democratic party's last
national platform)," the senator add
ed. "Before the congressional elec
tions this fall he will in a proper
place and proper time make such
declaration as will be the platform
a:id mandate as to the new situations
end new needs which have arisen
since the platform was adopted by
the national convention at which he
wa3 nominated."

lost his right arm in an accident at
Sterling Wednesday, is in serious con
dition in a hospital here. Benson,

been working between Lincoln and
Table Rock for about a year.
Benson had just set the brake on
a car on a siding and was struck by
another switched car on a main line.
He fell free of the wheels except for
the right arm, which was severed
just above the elbow. He was taken
to Tecuniseh in an ambulance. The

Barnes, and blood for a transfusion
was furnished by a CCC worker.

iously when an excursion ferry sud
denly lurched forward as it was re

miles off the entrance to the port of

descriptions are flowery enough,
but how about the goods when

; HOLLYWOOD Don't be surprised
to see Irene Dunne's part-time mar
riage level off to a more normal exis
tence one of these days. The star and
her husband. Dr.
Francis H. Griff en,
have just bought
a homesite in Bel
Air and expect to
-x, I 1 build there in the
r
near future. Irene
relishes the
thought of trying
out her ideas at
interior decorating
and says she will
take her time and
St
Li r:
. i Irene Dunne
work out every room to suit her in
dividual whim and fancy.
And while Dr. Griffen's dental
practice takes him back to New York
soon, the star hopes to persuade him
to rpend at least six months of each
year with her in California.
Despite urgent telegrams from Max
Reinhardt, Eddie Cantor won't be
able to play the character of Eottom
ia the German director's open-air
production of "Midsummer Night's
Dream." A group at the United Ar
tists' studio were suggesting several
other comedians who might play the
role. But all happened to be busy.
"Well, if nobody else turns up,"
said Canter, "they can get Stepin
Fetchit and call it 'Black Bottom.' "
HOLLYWOOD Even though Helen
Hayes and Charles MacArthur are
frequently separated by a continent,
there is never a dull moment in their
married life. When the star went
heme the other night after a long
day's work in "What Every Woman
Knows," she found a florist's box
about the size of a steamer trunk.
Inside were dozens cf gardenias
with a center-piece of orchids. Also
the following note from Charlie:
"Our anniversary is sometime this
week. I hope this is the day."
After enjoying a good laugh, Helen
wired back:
"You're getting warmer. Keep
guessing."
It's ail very silly, but great exer
cise for the ingenuity. At a Holly
wood party. Mack Gordon insisted
that lyric writing is just a racket.
That you can devise them about any
thing. The listeners started tossing
him geographical names. With the
briefest cf hesitations he fitted them
into popular songs. Here are some,
but you'll have to hum the lines to
really appreciate the trick.
"Albany, why not take Albany."
"Be it ever so humble, Fresno
place like home."
"Cheyenne, Cheyenne, Harvest
Mocn, up in the sky."
"Idaho why I love you like I do."
"Akron give you anything but love,
baby."
"Oh, Sweden lovely lady, be good."
"Korea me back to old Virginie."
And the champ cf all: "Terre
Haute to be a daylight saving time."
Try it yourself, if you think it's
easy.
Luxury Note
Virginia Bruce has specially en
graved personal checks made out on
her Beverly Hilis bank. She carries
them in a solid gold case the gift of
ex-husband John Gilbert.
Eating in old Mother India is not
so simple, as Paramount has found
cut since starting "The Lives of a
Bengal Lancer." The studio has had
to build three restaurants on the lo
cation fcr the picture. One for the
English and American members of
the troupe, one for the 90 low-caste
Hindus and another for the 40 high
caste Hindus. For it's an old Indian
custom that the high-caste Hindu
will net eat food that has been touch
ed by a white man or a low-caste
Hindu. Even if their shadow falls
across the food it is taboo.
Knick-Knacks
Johnny Maschio's brief marriage
into the blue-book didn't disillusion
him. The dapper little Hollywood
agent 13 having his broken heart
mended by Helen Peters, socially
prominent Pasadena dviorcee, and
Jane Francis Mullen, class A Los
Angele3 deb. . . . The critics lambast
ed but Jcsef Von Sternberg etill
craves the grinning gargoyles of "The
Scarlet Empress." He has the largest
of them set up in his office.
George Raft and Mickey Neilan are
working a terrific rib on Mack ("Kill
er") Gray, George's man Friday. For
months the Killer ha3 had a yen to
be an actor, and now that his nose is
straightened out there is no holding
him. So Raft framed with Mickey to
offer his pal a part if he can put
over a song. The Killer is that ex
cited, he's stalking Harry Revell all
over the Paramount lot trying to get
the song.
The funny part of it Is the laugh
has just died down at another rib at
Mack's expense. They offered him a
part several months ago, handed him
the script, and told him to go home
and study it.
The Killer came back the next day
and refused to play the part. His
character had only one line, and
Mack indignantly refused to speak it.
Namely: "I'm the Fairy Prince."
For the first time since she came
to Hollywood five years ago, Wynne
Gibson is to visit New York. She fin
ishes her part in Columbia's "The
Captain Hates the Sea" and flies east
to rehearse for the George M. Cohan
play, "Gambling."
Six months ago, James Wong
Howe, the Chinese cameraman, went
into a shirt making firm in Mexico
City to get measured up. The head
salesman said they'd be delighted, but
wouldn't Jimmie like to see some
r-hirts exactly his size which had been
made up and never called for. To
make a long story short, Jimmy took
the shirts and asked to have them
shipped to him in Hollywood, be
cause he was flying back and didn't
want to add weight to his baggage.
That was six months ago. The shirts
came the other day. And inside the
neck-band of each one is a little
label:
