Robert Esposoth has fin- ally succeeded in making hi3 Pri- vate Secretary, Hiss Bernice Kagenston, his partner in one of his famed political schemes which ho is about to spring on the peo- ple of Uicliigan, as their govern- or. Tho third partner in this scheme is LIr. Kermat Rodto, the well known District Attorney of the state of Ilichigan. In caso anything should go wrong. Ur. Rodts will always be ready to de- fend tho case. Ralph Anderson, noted Eng- lish Professor of Oxford Univers- ity, will arrive in New York where he is to meet Dr. Denman Knight, the well-known psychiat- rist. The two are thinking of writing a book. Ur. Knight 111 give tho details and professor .'aidcroon will see that it io written in good English. Hiss Uarjorlo . Dartlott, Radio’s leading personality, just signed a contract with Flc3hman’3 Y- a3t to broadcast on their hour. Hiss Bartlett says that, as soon a3 I get settled I’m going to in- vito Ulos Tuth Caton, New York Symphony Orchestra's famed pia- nist, up to the program as an honor guest. You see, Ruth is an old friend of mine. Hiss Anna Kisey, Uatron of tho Hi3ey Orphanage for homclo33 children, has just received an- other loan from the Government so that she can make an addition at her widely known orphanage at St. Loui3, Ilissouri.

The child happened to fall in the path of an on- coming automobile just as hi3s Williams happened by. She rush- ed across the street picking up the child.

Richard Houg, Stanfords hard working football Coach, has just broken down and fallen in love. The porson on the other end of his affection is none other than Hiss Joanncttc Noursc, the girls physical education teacher at this same foundation of learning. The guests at the Kummlncn- Rest Hotel will probably be doubtful of the food they will bo served for the next couple of weeks because their head chef is in the hospital. Miss Jeannette Evanson, the chef, was riding in an automobile that was wrecked when a tire blew out. She wasn't hurt 3criou3ly but badly enough so that she won't be able to do any cooking for awhile. Edwin Granfcrs, the sensa- tional track discovery for Wash- ington just rang up a world's re- cord for track. If Glenn Cun- ningham of 1936 ran against this Granfors boy he wouldn't even place. Well, that's about all folks. I hope you'll tunc in again tomorrow night at this same time and don't forget The Merry Widow Iloiscry Mills.
