Opening it, he discovered a pearl necklace and several pieces of nov iettf Jewelry, He turned in his find md it was promptly restored to its rar, m Junior Leaguer who had toe oes at the hoteL While the, she found herself with a very important engagement and without her favorite evening wrap. A wire to he mother brought me wrap in 'sufficient time, the mother failed tojreport. however, that she had en closed the pearls and jewelry in the box and in the daughter's haste, they escaped her eye. The box was thrown out and eventually reached the scrap heap where the houseman .found it , in another ease, while Waldorf employees were sorting soiled linen before it was sent out for launder ing, they came on beautiful plati num wrist watch, set with" dia monds. The watch, valued at $1,200, i was of course returned to its owner How it happened to.be tossed into a basket along with soiled linen was not explained. - ' Seemingly a stop for a traffic light change on the crowded streets of jNew York would carry with it no 'danger of robbery. Recent instances have shown that this is not the case. Over in Brooklyn when a motor car stopped because of a red light, ban dits appeared and took the car along with a $7,800 pay roll. Evidently they had kept watch until they were able to time the movements of the car so exactly that they could get possession of it and make a get- away. Most of the other robberies have been minor, so minor that many have not been reported. In the main they were merely purse snatchings. ' In some sections of the city, youngsters climb onto the back of a car when it stops for a light, and at the next stop run around and grab a purse or any valuables ly ing on the seat beside the driver. .They vanish before an alarm can be given. Their victims are almost invariably women. So now many women drive with locked doors and .windows shut. Closed windows are 'rather unhandy for signalling. But they afford protection, i Weather, always-being more or let under discussion, at this point Til introduce that topic. At the op ening of a new mid-town restaurant, William Keighley, Bollywood dlrec tor, who was on his way to Florida for a vacation, chided friends about the New York climate. During the conversation, a telegram was deliv ered to him. It read: "Please give permission to shoot bathing scenes in your swimming pool. It's the only heated one in Hollywood and it's freezing out here." Noticing a crowd in front of a ritzy restaurant, I elbowed my way forward filled with the hope that I might see a couple of bluebloods exchanging socks, something which happens on occasions in this town. But when I finally, after no end of trouble, reached the front rank all I saw was a newspaper photogra pher making shots of a couple of grinning newlyweds. Walking away hurriedly, my mind went back to a cafe of the -Hotel du la Place in the little town of ! Montigny-sur-Aube in France years ago. Villages were engaged in a heated war of words and so loud were voices and so violent the ges tures it looked like bloodshed at any moment Suddenly the clamor died down and everybody had a book. Then I learned that they had merely been arguing over the cost of a rail road ticket to Dijon. . - Ball AnxHcatfe WWU Service. Malaria Spreading North by. Airplane and Trailer Milwaukee.

An' event, surely not , the least of those marking the incessant progress of motion picture entertainment, is the current advent Jto the screen of the sumptuously produced full-length animated feature, "Snow White and the Seven1 Dwarfs'' - in Technicolor, with music, and dialogue, a challenge to the major dramatic features of Hollywood. This remar ble exam ple of the work. , of. Walt Disney creator of "Mickey Moused and the "Silly Symphonies' as an evolution from the half-reel, one-reel .and two reel subjects, has struck f the amuse ment world with a force- parallel to the effect, made by the transition of pictures from "silent" to sound. "Snow White and' the Seven Dwarfs," three years in the making, had its origin between' the covers of one of the most widely ' circulated and popular books known, to civiliza tion the Grimms' tales. This com pilation, of legendary folk, lore and the madcap, magical doings of sprites, goblins, and other mysterious Little People, first appeared 'in print Norfolk, Va., spent Wednesday night and Thursday With Mrs. Blow.

It is now delighting its wider public in Walt Disney's achievement, admittedly the climax of all animated . screen treatment of fanciful characters. Since 1984 five hundred and seven ty artists were employed on the pro duction, which, completed in Decem ber, 1937, runs over an hour on the screen. At a conservative estimate 2,000,000 sketches were made for the picture, every drawing having been redrawn three or four times. Millions of fans who revelled with unrestrained delight at the whimsical adventures of "Mickey Mouse" will discern a similar spirit of scintillating fun in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," especially when birds and animals take part in the action. But the full-length feature, operating over a wider range, provides diverse entertainment of a kind the screen has never before offered.
