Yassar, a man has got to sarve
4-5 year prentiship at liandlin a
railroad iiijin that he rant drive
no vvhars hut to follei ther track
berfore lies low d to take other
folks lives in Ins hands But ther
teen-agers, and sum a little older,
kin hop in a auto-eyar, pres a but
ton. twist a wheel, and start on
down ther turn-pike or crowded
street with mitv little praetis or
rule checkin on tha.v kno-how
Ther open drive way aint lak ther
railroad rails that guides a enjin
a sartin way. but a autodriver kin
go strait, or crooked, or eros-ways,
or he.kin stop, or git over on ther
tuther fellers side, he kin keep
goin slow or fast, or park rat ber
side anuther cyar. and block ther
street, all cordin to how much
gumption he has gathered en
durin them short lessons he has
pirkd up to git by ther in-specter
and land his lieens. And we aint
had even that much check on 'ini
fer long Anil rat now thar aint
many folks that pays much tcn
tion to rcgerlashuns, lessen thay
secs a cop stat in cm in ther eye.
Jest tuther day I seed a feller start
up on ther corner, and stop short
in ther middel ol ther street, side
of a cyar that was parked ginst
ther curb, and wait to pick up a
walker frum tuther side of ther
street, whilst ther balance of ther
rears that had waited fer ther
■green, piled up berhind 'im with
brakes screechin, ruther than
push over on left side whilst he
picked up his man. Now that fel
ler curl hav drived 10 foot further
and parked side ther curb, but no,
he rund ther risk of havin his
back-side bumped into a big size
cost, and cf them uther cyars had
bin movin fastern 1. per. hit would1
hav lialpend. Not long ergo, l|
| seed a bus driver prop a mdgyzene
up berfore 'im, sos he eud read
(her picturs as he driv erlong ther
hi-wav. —One time 2 school boys
was raslin on ther edg of ther hi
way by tha.v school, and a bus
driver had to slo down, cross to
ther left side, and creep by them

would fall. Nuthcr tirye I seed
two school busses takin ther
whole road, raein side by side,
nary one gittin ber-head of ther
uther fer 1-4 mile, and dis-a-peer
in over a hill-top. Ef ther devel
didn’t take keer of ’em on ther

did. Hit sho looks luk ef ther
lows and ther forrement of ther
laws, dont lai n cm more bout how
to drive safe, all ther ear dealers

most folks that cares to sav eny

Ginger Rogers and
Morgan In Film
It's a safe wager that not many j
moviegoer s know what goes on j
among tne 12 people of a jury j
thrown together b.y the law for a
lenghty murder trial. Well they’ll
soon see when “Perfect Strang
ers," the long-awaited Warner
Bros, comedy drama starring Gin
ger Rogers and Dennis Morgan,
comes into the Viccar Theatre on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
That these two ‘perfect strang
ers’ fall in love is a foregone con
clusion, the situation of two at- j
tractive people side by side for I
so many weeks proving too much ■
for their romantic imaginations. I
But how their romance plays a
big part in arriving at a verdict
in the actual trial is something I
most legal minds would rather
not contemplate.
Amusing complications which
result from such a situation are
made to order for the two stars
who a number of years back I
scored such personal triumphs
in “Kitty Foyle," the film which
brought (linger an Academy A
ward also served to bring Mor
gan to the first rank of Holly
wood stars The film also fea
tures Margate Gillmore, one of
Broadway’s leading stars
On trial for murder in "Per
fect Strangers” is a man ac
cused uf doing away with his
wife in order to marry his secre
tary. With the jury close to a
verdict of guilty, it is Ginger
who demonstrates by revealing
her own feeling for a fellow
juryman that it is possible to
fall in love with another per
son while still married, and that
it is not necessarily a criminal
thing. Which may be something
for, judges and psychiatrists to
figure out, but in "Perfect
Strangers” it simply results in
a highly absorbing situation for
a motion picture.

Suggesting a fresh appraisal of
American competition as the basis
for a “realistic clarification” of
the anti-trust laws, Secretary of
Commerce Charles'Sawyer points
lout that ‘vast economic and busi
ness changes" have taken place
in the sixty years since the Sher
man Anti-Trust Act was passed,
i Mr. Sawyer admits that "the,
rulings, the judical decisions and
the thinking” upon the subject i
are conflicting and confusing. He
would have a study made to se
if the legal situation conforms!
to the real-life facts.
The idea has some merit. If
would seem possible for out
standing and public-spirited busi
ness men of the nation to get to

tion and formulate a policy, ad
