Dolores Del Rio
Dedicates Statue
To Rudy Valentino
O HOMAYWOOoD, Cal. — (AP) —
Dedicated by Dolores Del Rio, Span
ish actress, before a curious group
of 300 persons a bronze statue in
memory of Rudolph Valentino, once
known as the most popular moving
picture actor, today stood in De
Longpre Park.
Not a Hollywood picture star of
the days of Valentino attended the
the service. The statue, calleg ‘“as
piration,” is the work of Roger No
bel Burnham, once of Boston, now
of Hollywood.
Peculiarly, the art work, paid for
by the late actor’'s admirers, was
grudgingly given a place in the
Darkvby city commissioners. They
contended that no other statue of a
film cerebrity had been erected:
that Hollywood could‘n’t be clutter
ed up with bronze memories of pic
tures luminaries, and furthermore.
“it would look like publicity.”
The ‘igure is tensed, head thrown
back as though in face of a wind
and arms stiffened to the sides. It
bears not the slightest resemblance
to Valentino. For that was one of
the agreements which permitted its
eyection in the park.
he may continue on around the
lbases and register a score. That's
crazy isn’t it?
“There should be two pitchers, one
right and one left handed, in the
hox at the same time, and the bat
ter wouldn't know which one was
nging to pitch. The purpose of the
'm’tcher is to deceive the batsman,
land baseball players are crazy to
‘think one Ditcher alone can fool
Qbatters
“The players are crazy to let an
!umpire make a final ruling in a
{game. There ought to be a judical
committee to act upon every disput
ed decisiion.
- “Anq it #s crazy to call a game
on account of rain. There ought to
be a canopy the field, suspended by
Balloons. so that play could go right
on, no matter what the yeather.”
Judge Hornes is the eighteenth
judge in the United States to be
‘visited by Gemmet with a petition
fto have ballplayers declared ‘crazy.

Attack On Bishop Cannon
Forecast At Dallas Meet
Rev. Rembert Smith of
--Washington, Ga., Said
To Be Preparing To
Bring Charges Against
Methodist Leader.
| DALLAS, Tex. —() — A re
rported contemplated attack on
{ Bishop James Cannon, J:., of Vir
'ginia lent an early controversial
hue today to the opening of the
‘quadrennial conference, Methodisy
Episcopal Church, South, here.
The charges, expected to he
‘brought by a membe:r of the
Georgia delegation, will deal
specifically with Bishop Can
non’s participation in politics, ac
cording- to general reports cur
rent among delegates.
The Bishop -efused to discuss
the charges. or to comment on
the testimony given in Washing
ton yesterday hefore the congres
sional lobby committee. In this
testilmony, K. C. Jameson, of New
York, prominent in republican af
fairs, testified as to an alleged
discrepancy i a fund he gave
Bishop Cannon for the fight
against Alfred E. Smith in the
last presidential race.
It was learned that five gen
eral charges have been prepared
as a basis so- the ‘effort at pr-s
--ecution of Bishop Cannonh—that
he has been an active lobbyist,
that he has used the Methodist
Board of Temperance and Social
Service, of which he is head, in
his lobbying; that he hoarded
food during the World War; that
he had dealings with a Wall
Street “bucket shop”; and finally
that in 1928 Bishop Warren A.
Candler of Atlanta and Bishop
Colling Denny, senior members «f
college, charged that Bishop Can
non had endeavored to form an
ecclesiastical - political combina
tion which might precipitate a
split within the church. l
~ The possibility that the politi
‘cal activities of Bishop Cannon,
would be brought to the attention
of the conference was seen in re
ports from the Georgia delega
tion that the Rev. Rembert Smith
of Washington, Gr., would charge
from the floo: of the meeting
that the prelate had been guilty
of conduct unbecoming a bishon.
The Virginia bishop declined to
comment ol the reports.
From Bishop W. N. Ainsworth
of Georgia, who came here with
Bishop Cannon it was learned
that if charges are brought
against any member of the cor
ference a trial is compulsory.
When questioned Bishop Aing
worth said he had heard “rumors
of an attack on Bishop Cannon.”

Dr, Reynolds said that of all
the crippled children one sees,
Infantile Paralysis is responsible
for a considerable number. He
said the disease begins insidiously
and resembles at first an ordinary
childhood illness, paralysis of an
arm or leg is often developed be-l
fore a doctor is called.
It is most infectious in its early
stages, just the time when it goes
unrecognized.
“For more than a thousand
vears, parents have been inclined
to attribute this form of paralysis
to the carelessness of nurses in
letting children fall or tc the ac
cidental injury of children while
| at play.” ‘
j Generally believed that germs

nose and throat,
Practice of children in taking
alternate bites of apple, candy and

at the Palace tonight on “The
Treatment of Fractures.”
