At the age of six weeks, the son of Frames Dec and Joel McCrea can draw $250 a week, with a two weeks' guarantee, if he'll report at the British Gau mont studies to begin his film ca- :V.V : J V : ...... v., I ,-. -eer Joel McCrea Frances and Joel may accept the offer, but they veto screen work for the baby. "He's far too young to go under the strong lights on a motion pic ture set." they say. In addition to an amazing salary, Frances and Joel have been offered transportation and a guarantee that the film company will pay their Brit ish income tax. The proposition prob ably will be accepted, but not until Joel finishes a picture engagement opposite Maricne Dietrich. Only for Gary Cooper's wife would Paramount have done it. The "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" company went up to Lone Pine on location and the troupe was assigned quarters in pri vate homes and in tents. Gary and Sir Guy Standing decided to bunk togeth er. Just then Sandra Shaw arrived and the company manager was called upon to do a little fast thinking. In the end. everybody in the troupe moved over, like a row of dominoes. A "grip" at the tag end of the list drew a pup tent. Vincent Lopez, of all people, turns out to be an autograph hound. The band leader brought a brand new book to Hollywood and will collect signa tures of celebrites in the movies. His nerve will have to improve, however, for it took him all evening to get up the courage to ask Loretta Young and Fred Perry. Back in New York, Lopez has one book full of names that has been val ued at ? 100,000. Asked who had signed it, the band leader replied: "I have everybody from the King cf Siam down to Walter Winchell." Ah, there, Walter. It's a wonder the front pages did not tarry it . . . when Shirley Tem ple fell out of a tree recently. The starlet was playing hide-and-seek at her Santa Monica home when she lost her balance and landed on her head. Her frightened mama found a large bump coming out on Shirley's forehead and two angry-looking scratches on the perky nose that has made thousands of movie fans laugh. The marks have disappeared now, but Fox was lucky at that. For Shir ley originally was supposed to start her picture, "Bright Eyes." At the last minute, the starting date was postponed. "With the signing of Max Bern hardt by Warners, Jean Muir stands to cash in for her labors as "squeak detector" for the German director during the rehearsals of a "Mid summer Night's Dream." It is no secret that Reinhardt wanted Jean for the stage production, but War ners released to release her. With the Shakespearean comedy scheduled for production as a movie, you can write it down that Jean will have a part. What famous comedian was one of the loudest supporters of a certain political candidate at the California primaries, but now is shouting just as loudly for the other fellow? Knick-Enacks Clark Gar may rae hi.; filly at the Santa Anita track this winter but will not buy any more race horses. TOO EXPENSIVE, he says . . . Bar bara Week's mother, who used to be a Follies girl, is to have a leading role in a coming radio playlet. . . . What' this? Jackie Coogan is pay ing plenty of attention to Dorothea Beick, new R-K-O starlet from Bloom ington. 111. . . . And Gertrude Mich ael is going places with Director Rouben Mammoulian. . . .

REEDER RELIEF PROPOSAL ATTACKED Washington. The coal industry massed its weight against reported plans of state relief administrations to lease idle mines and operate them with persons on relief rolls. Repre sentatives of coal mine operators and the United Mine Workers called at federal relief headquarters to urge that no federal fund3 be allowed for such projects. They told Keith Southard, exec utive officer of the Surplus Relief corporation, that employment of re lief workers to produce coal for the needy unemployed v.-as under consid eration by the state relief adminis tration in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Relief activities in all three states are supported heavily by fed eral fund3.

United States Health Rate i A J) Best in ' Medical Skill and Sanitation Have Eliminated Many of the Old Time Plagues. New York, X. Y. The United States is a paradise of health, com pared with some of the South Amer ican and Asiatic countries, accord ing to Dr. Louis I. Dublin, third vice-president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany, who points to the victims car- lied off by influenza in one Brazilian citv where the annual death rate from that disease almost equals the rate in New York City at the peak of the pandemic of 191S. "Cholera, plague, smallpox and leprosy are diseases of a bygone age, so far as we are concerned in the United States," Dr. Dublin asseiij. "Yet in some cf the British Prov inces of India these diseases are to day almost as prevalent and deadly as ever. In the single year 102!, British India recorded SGO.'JUU deaths from cholera, 120,000 from plague, and 72,000 fatal cases oi smallpox. There are still over one million lepers in China. "Typhoid fever has been almost eliminated from most American cities. In New York and Chicago t he present annual typhoid fever mor tality rarely exceeds one per 100, 000. In Nagasaki, Japan, however, the typhoid death rate reached 22C per 100,000 inhabitants in 1931. Be side this extraordinary mortality, the very high rates of 103 for Teh eran, 87 for Bangkok, and 03 for Calcutta, lose much of their signi ficance. "Most cf us still remember the consternation caused in our coun try by tue terrible influenza pan demic of 101S. In that year the death toll freni influenza in the City of New York reached the calamitous figure of 220 per 100,000. Picture then the situation in Fortaleza, Bra zil, where approximately the rame high rate of influenza mortality is experienced year after year. The av erage influenza death rate in Forta ieza during the period 1020-1531 was 216 per 100,000 with a peak of 2G0 in 1931. "No single disease aside from the chronic diseases of old age causes; quite so many deaths in this country as pneumonia. In New York City during recent years, the pneumonia death rate has averaged about 120 per 100,003. In -.Madras, India, the pneumonia deaths range from 700 to 950' per 100,000 each year. In Valparaiso, Chile, they average about 5S0 .and in Manila. P. I., around 500. There are many other foreign cities in which the pneumonia toll Chicago Train Vrecked is from 300 to 50 0 per 100,000 year alter year. "America can well be proud oi its tuberculosis record. In le;:s than 30 years we have reduced our tuber culosis mortality to less than CO per 100,000 population. In Manila pro porti nate!y more than ten times as many persons succumb each, year to tuberculosis (COO per 100,000) as do so in this country. Other cities which I annually report tuberculosis death rates so high as to be almost in- rkoved a total vote of 9.02 in la credible are Guayaquil, Ecuador vor of control next year and 1,742 5S0; Valparaiso, Chile, 505; Lisbon, ! against. Officials hern faid more Portugal, 547; and Athens, Greece. 402. "The death rate from malaria in the entire United States is about 2 per 100,000. During the period 102S-1931 the Brazilian cities Manaos and Belem reported ma laria death rates of C33 and 407 respectively per 100,000 inhabitants. In Singapore and in I'enang in the Straits Settlements, and in Guaya quil, Ecuador, malaria death rates exceeding 250 are a common occur rence. "The wonderful improvement in public health in this country during the present century must be attrib uted not so much to e-Vanges in nat ural conditions, nort to the develop ment of greater resistance in the in dividual to disease. I am inclined to give mont credit to the tireless and intelligent efforts of our public health service, although credit must also go to the improved living standards which have followed the development of industry and busi ness in the United States. The med ical profession has played a very great rub? in protecting the health, of the people." EOY KURT IN TRAIN CRASH North Platte. Eiane "Bobby" Mullcr.ix, 5, was injured critically Wednesday aiternoon when a Union Pacific train struck the car in which he was riding at an uptown cross ing. Both the boy's legs and his left arm were crushed severely. The left arm was amputated at. a local hospital, and V,". J. Braham, sup.r intendent cf schools, furnished blood fcr a transfusion. Physicians said it was doubtful if the bzy would live. "Bobby" is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Mullenit of North Platte, and was riding in a car driven by Mrs. Melton I'. Jepsea. Mrs. Jep scn and her two small daughters es caped with only minor injuries. The ooy had been left in Mrs. Jepsen's car while his parents went to the country. Mrs. Jepscn said her car was lined up behind several ethcrs waiting for an east, bound passenger train to pass. Polio. vine th? other cars, she said, she started across the tracks and the west bound freight engine truck the front end cf Lcr sedan. "I never saw tlie train at all," Mr3. Jepscn said.
