Poverty-stricken political refugees from Germany and Austria are finding a haven in Czechoslovakia. The
government has established a camp for these unfortunate people at Bruenn where they work together at
various chores. This group is peeling potatoes.

THAT "trial separation" of
Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Arlen’s has disturbed a lot of
people who have pever met
either the delightful Jobyna
Arlen or her handsome hus-
band.
They were such a pleasant young
couple, and their marriage had been
HOW four youthful Chicago crim
Inals started out to give Canada
a few thrills by staging a cross-
country crime wage, and how these
conceited young punks finished up
as riddled corpses inside of two
weeks, makes one of the best police
stories in years. They had had
such a long and uninterrupted ca-
reer in their old home town that
they thought that criminal freedom
was plentiful everywhere else.
Equipped with pistols and ammuni-
tion, several bottles of hair oil, a
few shirts, and a fine big shiny
automobile that had a powerful en-
gine under its hood, the squad set
out for the Dominion. Sneaking Into
Saskatchewan unobserved, the first
act was to get the right sort of li-
cense plates. This done, and trav-
eling mostly at night, they headed
northward and were soon in the
heart of the prairie country.
Here their projected crime wave
was held up a bit, tor they took in
too much alkali water and were
quite ill for several days. Two of
them almost died, it was later
learned. However, a day or so later
they were in the west central part
of the province and had "holed up"
to get their bearings and to see
what could be done thereabouts in
the way of pulling a profitable job.
They finally discovered something
that looked promising and sat down
to do a bit of planning.
Meanwhile, a lone member of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police was
fighting his way along a slippery
buffalo trail in an old crate of a
car that happened to be one of the
three in the whole region. And, as
he side-slipped and lurched along,
he saw the dim lights of oil lamps
burning in the homestead cabins of
the Smiths, the Joneses, and the
Browns. >
Further on a bit he would pass the
MacDonald homestead in which was
kept the only safe and strong box
in all the vast prairie territory. Hec-
tor MacDonald, which isn’t his real
name, of course, was a polished,
cultured gentleman in whom scores
of outlying settlers placed full and
complete trust to the extent that
they deposited their valuables, with-
out charge, in the great big old-
fashioned safe. And, as the lone
Man of the Mounted passed, he no-
ticed the MacDonald home in total
darkness and decided to investigate.
Moving cautiously over to the
homesteader’s cottage, he peeked
into a window to discover four men
hovering over and about the great
big safe. Two were standing up-
right, holding flashlights, and the
other two were busy with the knob
and dial. As the Mounted Police-
man backed away from the window,
however, one of the two flashlight-
holders spotted him and at once
fired a bullet at his head. Being an
old timer, he had a bag of tricks
ready at hand, so he crumpled up,
dropped to the ground, and lay still.
Out came the safecrackers, and a
moment later they were standing
around the body of the dead Mount-
ie. That is, three of them were, for
their expert was still working on
the safe.
"Well, dat’s one of 'em outa
wayaby cripes,” said one.
“Y-e-a-h . . . We’ll rub ’em
like dis as we go along,” said
other. “No we won’t do nuttin' of
der kind,” spoke the third. “We’ll
do no killin' less’n we hev ter. They
hang fer a killin’ up here. 'Tain't
like ol’ Chi, an’ there ain’t no ‘Snor-
ky’ up here ter help y’out of a jam.”
Meanwhile the lad inside worked
feverishly but unsuccessfully on the
safe, and the three began discuss-
ing ways and means of hiding the
policeman’s body. And then when
the crooks were absolutely off guard
the lone Man of the Mounted moved
ever so carefully until his gun hand
was in the clear. In that split-sec-
ond, the crooks saw him moving,
and pulled their guns. Two of
them fired point blank, but the Man
of the Mounted was faster, ifi spite
i of the fact that he was the last to
draw. He fired three times, and
hit each one of the three in the
forehead. The safecracker inside,
knowing that their plans had gone
haywire, lit out through the east
door and disappeared into the Sas-
katchewan gloom.
Leaving the dead where they lay,
the lone Man of the Mounted set
out after the fourth, and after hours
of searching, finally gave it up. A
few days later, the safe-cracker,
cornered by another Man of the
Mounted, tried to shoot his way out,
and lost. The Man of the Mounted
fired once, while the safe-cracker
fired four times, and died. No one
can say they didn't get a “break,”
for the Men of the Mounted draw
their weapons only after the crimi-
nal has drawn his. At any rate,
these poor, misguided lads had been
on Canadian soil less than a fort-
night and were now dead.
Platinum Once of No Value
Old prospectors like to tell how
they picked "native lead” out of
their pans and sluiceboxes, and
what they said as they threw it
away. They are still saying things,
for this much despised substance
was actually platinum, which had
little value years ago. Counterfeit-
ers used it extensively because of
its heavy weight, and gold-plated
platinum coins are still in existence.
In 1828-45 Nicholas I of Russia is-
sued platinum 3, 6 and 12 rouble
pieces that are highly prized by the

pARL J. HAMBRO, burly presi-
dent of the Norwegian parlia-
ment, is in America for a lecture
tour. There
has been working on the Chaco set-
tlement for the last three years.
In his youth, he did a short turn
in the mines near Elkhorn, Mont.,
his native town, and then went to
Yale and became a mining engi-
neer.
He was a second-string halfback
at Yale, but a first string engineer
and promoter from the start, elec-
trifying Chile for Westinghouse, or-
ganizing the Bolivia-Argentina Ex-
ploration corporation, branching out
widely in South American develop-
ment and finance. He desperately
wanted to be minister to Chile, but
was consoled with Colombia.
He is forty-four year* old, re-
membered in New York as the
fastest and hardest-working
handball player around Jack
O'Brien's gymnasium, ia which
he combated a tendency to
plumpness, creeping up on him
a bit In late year*.
He was married in
beautiful and socially
norita Maria Humeres
Chile. They have three daughters
and two sons. Their New York res-
idence is the former George W. Per-
kins estate at Riverdale-on-the-Hud-
aon.

an interesting cut-
back in his career.
At Geneva, in
1927, he staged
a spectacular de-
bate with Austen
Chamberlain, in which, speaking for
the small states, he vehemently in-
sisted that the league must find a
way to restrain strong aggressors,
or else find itself impotent and dis-
credited in a few years.
With equal vehemence, Mr.
Chamberlain proclaimed the
trustworthiness of the strong
states and their humanitarian
aims. Warning Mr. Hambro
against overt restraints by the
league, he said, "Along that
road lies danger."
Mr. Hambro was the most distin-
guished recruit of the Oxford group
movement in 1935, and has since
been a leader of the movement in
Norway.
Returning from a luncheon attend-
ed by Dr. Frank Buchman, founder
of the movement, in Geneva, he told
of the mystic exaltation of the com-
pany and later announced his
herence to the group.
Although a conservative,
Hambro is the president of the
bor party of Norway. For many
years, he has been leading the fight
of the smaller nations in the league.
Arriving in New York, he remark*
dryly that Norway is old-fashioned
—she has a surplus in her budget.

Speaking of severed matrimonial
bonds, Margot Graham ia finally
having hers cot, in Reno, but no-
body is surprised. For a long time
now it’s been predicted, what with
her living and working in Holly-
wood, and her husband, Francis Lis-
ter, living and working in England.
It’s been rumored that when she is
free the pretty English girl will mar-
ry Alan MacMartin, the fabulously
wealthy Canadian.

AU Hollywood was saddened by
Jack Dunn’s death; it was one of
those tragedies that people go on
talking about for a long time. A
superb skater, he had the sort of
good looks and personality that
made him a "natural" for the mov-
ies. But, although he was signed
up when Sonja Henie was, after
their exhibition in Hollywood, he just
couldn’t seem to get anywhere. Fi-
nally came the announcement that
he would have the Rudolph Valen-
tino role in a picture based on that
actor's life. His death, almost
mediately afterward, was the
suit of rabbit fever.

Here’s good news for all of
who remember the “Seth Parker”
programs that so many of us used
to look forward to on Sunday eve-
nings. Remember the delightful
group of people who met each Sun-
day evening in Seth Parker's parlor
to sing hymns? All over the country
that program was a "must” on Sun-
days, and frequently groups of
listeners got together and sang the
old hymns with the radio folk.
Well, Seth is returning to the air
this fall, with a big sponsor backing
the program. And Phillips Lord,
who was “Seth,” and has been con-
nected with “Gang Busters” more
recently, will once more be saying
“Start it off, Ma.”

John Barrymore told Twentieth
Century-Fox that he just wouldn't
play unless his wife played too—in
‘Hold That Co-Ed.” They wanted
John, so they had to take Elaine.
An incident was written in especially
for her, based on her meeting with
him in New York, when she inter-
viewed him for her college paper.
But—the whole thing has been han-
dled so that that incident can be
removed without affecting the story.

"The Road to Reno” goes on and

it would be finished in 24 days. But
then, her tests took 17 days, (for
two reels) instead of half of one.
Miss Hampton is determined to re-
turn to the screen, from which she
has been absent for ten years.
