NEW YORK.—A little crowd gathered in front of the Paramount theater as a police motorcycle escort whirled to the curb and shooed away the line of taxicabs with a shriek of sirens. Into the ample vacancy drew a blue Rolls-Royce, its grotesquely high top testifying a mellow age. Attendants flock ed to open the door. Out stepped a tall, dark-skinned man in a white suit, then a small dark-skinned man in snappy, Harlemesque attire. They faced about to assist a medium-sized dark-skinned man wearing a full beard a well-tailored brown suit, and an air of dignity. “It's the Prince,” breather the onlookers. “That prince from Africa who's been down to see Roose welt.” . . . “Don't look s 0 princey in that get-up, though; he shoulda wore them trick pants like when his picthur was in the papers.” It was, indeed, the Prince. His Royal Highness, Ras Desta Demtu, son-in-law of His Majesty Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, King of Kings, De fender of the Faith, Conquering Lion of Judea, was going to thie movies. Not to the regular theater, but to a private pro jection roon: for a special showing of “The Sign of the Cross.” It seems that Prince Desta Demtu's hobbiés ar:s military work, horses, religion (he is a Coptic Christian), lions (there being a great many ‘of the latter at the royal palace at Addis-Ababa), and motion pictures, Since all of these things were combined in the DeMille spectacle, Paramount ex ecutive figured that his highness would enjoy it immensely . - And he did. Ensconced between Ato Paulos Man amano, Ethiopian Consul General at Jerusalem (the tall man), and his un-named interpreter (the little man), Prince Desta had a grand time, and wept copiously during the sad parts. The Conquering Lion of Judea and his son-in-law don’'t get to see many pictures in their ogyn coun try, it was explained, but when they do they insist that it be & religious spectacle. By royal command, “Ben Hur,” “The Ten Commandments’ and “The King of Kings" have been shown at the Addis-Ababa thus far, the projection mpachine and films being transported all the way from Port Said. Mere mention of that long trek still brings shud ders to sound men who filmed the coronation of Haile Selassie three years ago. It seems that fuel depots previously had been established along the way, but that a band of natives broke into them one by one, drank all the gasoline, and held hi-de ho with remarkable abandon. Following the private showing Ras Desta Demtu consented to be interviewed, and the interpreter asked for questions, Did the Prince enjoy his, re ception in Washington? Would he recommend this picture to the Emperor? Did he enjoy the musical score? Did he intend to visit Harlem? Would he like to live in America. The queries were relayed; the Prince beamed and spoke at considerable length in Amharic. The inter preter listened attentively, then said: "“His Highness declares that he enjoyed the picture very much.” And with that His Highness and his entourage jdoparted.‘ the. dapper little secretary looking proud ;Qlad impericus, the Prince bowing and grinning his Bratitude for courtesies received. . Theater notes: Walter Hampden isn’'t concerned about the health of the Broadway theater next fall, nor is he vorried over the suspicion (now rapidly ‘settling into a conviction hereabout) that all the ‘good writers had been lured to Hollywood . . . IKor the third time in two years the veteran drama ‘tician is bound on a transcontinental tcour, esp:2c dally through cities of the South and West which ‘haven’t had any stage plays since the advent of the movies. The play will be “Ruy Blas,”” by a man who never wrote his stuff with one eye on its film _potentialities—a man named Victor Hugo. ~ Grand opera folk are strengthening their liaison ‘with the stage. From historic Central City, Colo gi*‘do. it is announced that Gladys Swarthout is soon to sing there in a revival of “The Merry Widow.” ?find now comes Charles Dillingham, planning to Wuce a musical show in the autumn, and admits that he wants to engage Marion Talley for a role in it . . . Miss Talley is in New York and plans to resume her career in one field or another, having left her Kansas farm and chickens. Her hair is ;bobbed and curled now, and she seems, for a change, _sophisticated and completely self-sufficient. i.?'wOld-timers, remembering the premiere here of ““The Merry Widow" in 1907, will still tell you how %whel Jackson sparkled as Sonia, how Donald Brian wmphed in the role of Danilo, and how the piece ran for 52 weeks before it took to the road, where it has been heard from periodically ever since, Brian, it is reported, is in fine fettle taese days, still able to waltz as gracefully as ever, and yearns 1 play the part just once more on Broadway. . . . ‘Bettina Hiall, by tke way, the star of “Music in the “Air,” in New York last season, will be Sonia in the Central City revival. ;ln a city proverbially alpoof and inhospitable tc the average stranger within its gates, it is likely that Harry Rabin, newsboy, has built up more good M for Gotham than all the welcoming committees and official receptionists put together. ~ Rabin isn’t exactly a boy; his next birthday wil t his 57th. He stands at the Lexington Avenu¢ entrance to Grand Central Station, sells papers as i?ighmlng speed, directs strangers on their way minds their luggage, holds their dogs and carries &m almost continuous conversation. There's something about him that invites chat and confi- .He believes he knows thousands of people by name— even traveling men and buyers who gome to town at long intervals. Gone Tunney, who has an office nearby, is one of R n’s friends. They talk about the Tunneys, Con cut place. Betty Worth, one of the most daz zling of the young stage players, tells him about the er theater. John Cobden, the big realty man, always assures him that business is looking up. 1 any leaders make wry remarks about reform vs. Sportsmen give him tips on horses, though he &% bet. William F. Kenny gives him cigars. : paper men hurrying on assignments tell him %tbr they're off to the latest kidnaping or new deals in Washington. These and many more, when they have" time, pause to exclaim over the Ilatest pictures of the Rabin children. The girls, one 10 and one 7, already are acrobatic dancers and are in demand for pri wvate entertainments. The baby boy is a natural born hoofer, according to Gene Howard, veteran chorrs trainer who's coaching the girls. Rabin isn’t sure he wants them to go on the stage, though. He himself trouped with a Gus Edwards show thirty _years ago, but gave it up to go back to selling pa pers—and meeting interesting people. | An average talker speaks at a rate of about 90 a minute; a fast talker will otten hit a pace TYPICAL OF ATHENS’ CITIZENSHIP | The cooperative spirit shown by the bus iness and industrial interests of Athens in |the support of N.R.A., measures, as prom |ulgamated by President Roosevelt, is worthy of commendation and emulation by the citizenship of all communities. During the crisis of adverse business conditions, our people have stood stead fast, stemming the tide of a reversal in commrcial affairs that has never been equaled in the history of this nation—mnot even in war times. They met the condi tion with o determination to overcome its many perplexities, and through the seige of the past four years, phoenix-like, they hase risen above the ashes of distress. | Commencing today, most of the business interest will inaugurate shorter hours and better pay for their employes which may result in the employment of additional lhelp, contributing much to the decrease in number of the unemployed here. 1 Under the plan of the N.R.A,, it is be lieved that the nation is facing an era of prosperity of potential proportions and far-reaching in its effect in the solution of the unemployed situation that has causedi much suffering among millions of citizens. The loyalty of the citizenship of this nation has been put to the acid test, but they have [fought as hard against the depression as they did in the World war for the protec tion of their homes and thir country. We are living in a new era and under conditions that have never beem experi enced before; the success of business in commercial and industrial lines depends absolutely upon the activities and cooper ation of our people; if we succeed, good and well; if we fail, we will have the con solation of knowing that we did our best— and that is all that could be expected of any true and loyal citizenship. A HITCH-HIKING RECORD All hiteh-hikers are not criminals. Some hike because their purse is empty while others take the road for the novelty there is in traveling around the country without the expense of transportation. A young man in Ohio has just completed a tour of 27 states in 22 days, traveling over 5,000 miles, thumbing his way without the ex pense of so much as a dime for bus or rail road far., being picked up by gen erous hearted motorists. Now he is asking for recognition of some kind in the way of a jewel or identification for having travel ed the country over, safely, as a common hicth-hiker. His escapade may be worthy of some mark of distinction, but in our be lief, he should be recognized as a self made “beat,” and turned over to the au thorities for legal action. It is said that there are fewer of the wanderlust type on the road these days than has been known since the advent of the automobile. That condition, no doubt, arises from the failure of autoists to pick up road tourists, So many crimes have been committed by hitch-hikers, motorists have grown suspicious of such characters and pass them by without hesitating. And well, they should. One never knows what is in the mind or the purpose of the stranger on the highway. These people may be desrving and a “lift” would mean much to them, but on the other hand, they are liabl to be of the criminal type and seeking an opportunity for robbery and murder, if need be, in order to secure the personal possessions of the autoists. To pick up these people is a hazardous prac tice and one from which immunity of crime is not guaranteed. CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPOSITION From those who have visited the Cen tury of Progress Exposition, now being held in Chicago, it is learned that the fair ‘is one of the most spectacular that has ever been held in this country—not even )the World Fair, held in 1898 equals it in‘ ‘exhibition and buildings. | It is estimated that to see and inspect 13]1 of the exhibits, it would necessitate 'walking over one hundred miles and spefnd ing practically two months getting around.l Every known exhibit typical of the states‘ in this country, besides that ofi foreign na tions is elaborately displayed. \ However, the attendance has been far greater than was anticipated by the pro moters of the fair. People from every state in the nation and from practically every foreign nation have flocked to the “big show” since its opening, and from present prospects, it is believed that the attendance will continue and show an in crease hefore the close on the first of No vember. The Century of Progress Exhibition de serves to succeed; the people of Chicago have invested millions in buildings and im proving the grounds. They have convert ed that sectoin of the city into a fairy gar den of attractions that has never been equalled in this country. The displays and exhibits are worthy and deserving of in spection, entertaining and educational. It is a worthwhile exhibition and deserves the liberal patronage that has been ac corded to it since its opening. The artificial ice industry’s largest item of expense is neither labor nor materials, but the cost of the coal used ! produce the steam that runs the compressor ice machine, Enough telephone wires are used in New York City to reach to the moon and back 35 times. Fifty years ago, the annual death rate in New York City was 30 per 1,000 of popu lation; today, it is about 12 per 1,000. Aprroximately 24,000,000 tons of lime stone are used annually in the United States, chiefly in the smelting of iron ores. DID IT EVER OCCURTOYOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything We are, indeed, grateful to those responsible for the tree trimming in “No Man’s Land.” The limbs that extended over ~ the sidewalks have been cut, In fact, these limbs were re moved several days ago and after the rains of last week, pedestrians were saved from unexpected show er baths as they traversed the walks through the one time his toric spot of “No Man’'s Land.” Those who had been ‘“shying” this near cut to the postoffice after rains, can now rest assured that they will be thoroughly immune 10 shower baths from boughs of trees that formerly extended over the walks in this section of the city. We are not informed as to conditions in other sections of the city. Shaded walks are’ blessings to communities, but . cold shower baths are not welcomed, especially in pub lic. We are quite sure, however, that if pedestrians are experienc ing similar trouble as that which existed in “No Man’s Land,” if they will notify City Engineer Jack Beachbam, he will have the cause removed and a cure estab lished. He is one of the most ac commodating and capable officials that has ever held a post within the city government. However, he ‘did not do the job in ‘“No Man's Land.” That was done by individ ual property owners, whom we esteem highly and appreciate sin cerely as our friends. FRIEND: “How did wyou come to lose your job?” EX-OFFICE BOY: “Mine and my boss’s grandmother died on the same day.” When it comes to writing prose, poetry and verse, Dud ley Glass, editor and columnist of the Atlanta Georgian and Sunday American, is no slouch —not by any means. Somehow he grinds out those things that appeal to readers of newspapers and to find in his daily column something just a little bit better and a little different from the regular style of columnists, it is refreshing to readers. Such a column is an, attractive feature in any newspaper, small or large. It 4s the kind of a stuff a great many readers like and they look for Dudley Glass’ column, even atgeqd of sports, murders or martial law developments in Georgia, and that should be a sufficient excuse for Dudley’s “Our Town" column appearing in Hearst's best news- { The day the National Indus trial Recovery Act became es -1 fective in New York, a man | who had been out of employ ment for months, possibly more than a year, secured a job. The same day the parent be came a father. He was soo happy over securing work and the com ling of the little girl to his home, he named her *“Nira,” taking the first letters of the government act ‘to mane up the name as an ap preciation of what it meant to him. Aptly and in his own style of par aphrasing in prose, Dudley Glass wrote: “What about our new love, Nira? Is her name to rhyme with ‘era’? or shall we take Cousin Ira as the proper rhyme for Nira? Anyway, she is a maiden wih a lot of trou ble laden, bearing worries by the lohd for the folks who frame a code. How can one of minor pow ers be kept working after hours? Experts thus the- answer give: ‘make him an executive. Soon i'umong our - busy resident’s we'll have thousands of vice-presidents I|writing in our ledger pages while lthey draw the same old wages.

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA Federal Workers 1 . Labor Night and Day on NRA Code‘ ! By RODNEY DUT,CHER Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON,—Some at least of those white coilar workers about whom Gen, Johnson has been so much concerned aren’t getting the benefit of the 40-hour week. The workers in the general’s own department, for instance, who have been fixing it so the rest of us won't have to stay on the job so long, frequently 'toil far into' the night. Lights blaze from the Commerce Building, which houses NRA, until midnight and later. I The general himself works as hard as anyone. Most key officials are at their desk from 8 or 9 in the morning until 7 or 8 at night. Vis tors are so numerous and confer-' ences s 0 frequent that most can be accomplished in the twilight hour, So many of these officials return after dinner and may not get home until 2 or 3 in the morning. And of course the executive must have his assistants, secretaries and stenographers around. The results is that a lot of lovely girls are becoming thin and pale, One slender little NRA blond has lost four pounds lin two weeks, and( it's going to be a crime is she loses any more, This goes on especially in NRA, the 'Agricultural] Adjustment ‘Administration, the Public Works Administration, the R. ¥. C, and other agencies actively promoting | the New Deal. But it’s also true of | many regular departments and bureaus which are operating with new duties and curtailed staffs, Frayed Nerves Common Frayed nerves and dazed brains are common. | No one works harder or longer than Gen. Hugh Johnsen, Up late' the night before, he was “buggy- | eyed'”—as one of his aides de scribed it—when he opened the oil hearings. Johnson, after the first witness was ‘through, called two seperate’ witnesses and successively turned them off with the assertion that‘ they were appearing in the wrong] order, After whispered conferences with I.egal Adviser Richberg and Deputy Administratort . Simpson, Johnson realized that they had come on in the correct order. So he called them back to finish their | speeches. ’ Sinclair walks Out One of the witnesses was Harry F. Sinelair, who looked older than in his appearances here during the RD B TR T il Bl G F ‘t“’agi%%; :'f;k,,-é' Bfi : %&f{e G § o _"f:;::. . \fk\,‘x %% ‘,.'_' 3# k. : 5 . = vl e ' WL L e Y |/ A ' i STRIKE [P Y _B@m“'fis toasted ” A DAILY CARTOON WW#M,_——-‘—"* N " T e T = f o ~ — 7L LB\ (i ‘ : NN 7 7 M == 7 a /D M,/ 7/ 77N = // G 1L 74 Dig U / / // A A i 2 ///, i e /////////é; VM ‘ ) o NI i T 1 | 187 ks 7 ////// i/ 1 /77 /// X/ A 0 AL 7)) : %Z,/fi,,.‘\ N / \eTh Mi ) : TN A s P RERA X/ =\ ) e E ) A\ /\_,.. /| 1A S e| Y »7/, /1 '/fl/,wf,/.r | ; WNA(s f) S / || e |\ /;/,\//olfilm 3 (% i I “%. %e| o) /[0 \ VAR |Y/2 | ¢ l’;g',_l;43"-_,_..4!4;“.4:7;-{)s!‘ QS, /8 scez \WRLMVITIT//lo\ - 700 g Coot tosuo A | BTN :"5;;&,:%5':,:,.-:" NG - NGB weoot o eun AT / 'ili\.\Q—"&'fi?‘x TN EliE revetesones |RO N all v/ //eTE ST 3 ,",'"l'l,""\.’/fi/'c ) 7"'/4’;/’1"/'//"?’7 YS ) , 721 ALY / EDISARMAMENI; | //,..;f',\'q’,?/[.szz’.'////,’*//,ié AR ST { Y/g ,/7’/’,:‘_ CONFERENCE!

Johnson, not realizing that the }f‘irst speaker had presented the ‘code' halted Sinclair after about two minutes and sail he must wai: luntil the code had been offered. TSinclair, confused, left the hall, Vwhen Johnson called for him again, someone else had to read the Sin ciair statement. | Business of Being Tough When an industrialist gets ®ough, Johnson still knows how to get tougher. . He called .in representatives of the shipbuilders one night when an impasse had been reached on their code, The shipbuilders found Joseph Franklin and John P. Frey, labor leader represcnting the shipyard workers, waitin2 in Johnson’s of fice. ‘What, they demanded‘ were those birds doing there? Johnson stuck out his chin and roared: “You fellows have got ' a wrong idea in your heads. Now, get it out. This is a conference of ship- Dbuilders, shopworks and the gov ernment.” That was all—except that the I feel closer to my cigarette each time I smoke I really can’t help it. After all, one does develop a personal re gard for a thing that comes in such intimate contact with one’s lips. And since I am a woman, I do appreciate the fact that my Lucky Strike never offends my fastidious sense of daintiness. Men TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1033 Preparedness! ‘shipbuilders accepted Johnson's demand for a 32-hour week in vards engaged on government con ;struction and a 26-hour week else where and on repairs. Labor had ;demanded a 30-hour week and the industry a 40-hour week.
