"Do you know that I got oeore

said they knew I'd he a perfect

"And I get silly, sometimes rude,

Miss Ley and Powell had ao

they made the first "Thin Man"
picture. Shot on a shoestring, it
turned into one of the year's big-
gest grossers. *
"Up until then, nobody would
give a husband and wife story a
chance," Miss Loy recalled. "It had
to be boy meets girt, with a clinch
in the final fadeooL"
Mies Loy is geStiag tired of

see some of those clinches.

HOLLYWOOD. — Comedian Bob
Hope, who grinds out 1,000 gags
a week with never a duplication,
is having his valuable joke library
microfilmed.
It was either that, he said, or
build a barn. The joke files were
literally overflowing the special
fire-proofed offices in the rear of
his home—the "iofce factory," as
the family calls it.
Hope, currently starring in Par-
amount's "Road to Rio," latest oI
the series with Bing Crosby and
Dorothy Lamour, has been collect-
ing jokes ever since he started as
an entertainer. His carefully croes-
indexed selection is insured for
g |0Q imM)
He used to keep the file in the
den. Then he built special offices
for it. The gags have grown with
the tlemand for personal appear-
ances from him. Now they need %
building all their own.
"The pags don't really smell aa.
bad that we have to get them out
of the houae," Hope said. "But I
don't understand why My wife
keeps suggesting that 1 take op
cigar smoking instead of joke col-
lecting."
Hope. >ie and hi > v
staff at writers grind out 1.000
jokes a week, using the collection
tor reference aad also to ssake sure
Hope hasn't used the joke before.
He beasts that not once in his long
career has he repeated a joke.
One department in the file con-
tains jokes Hope gathered on his
battle-front tours from American
eoldiers, never too weary to laugh.
Another was the result of his re-
cent cross-country vaudeville tour.
A separate section contains a rap-
idly growing collection of gaga
about the "road" pictures.
"The gags probably will die lie-
fore I do." Hope joked when we
asked him what would happen to
the collection after his death, i
"I suppose I should leave 'em
to Crosby," he adiled. "lie needs
them so badly."
He made a note of the joke for
his file, and then said he would
give the matter more serious
thought.
"I suppose the ridlertion is the
■Beet valuable of its kind and
something should be done to per-
petuate it." he said. "Ill probably
will it to the children."

Station Hold-up
LANSING. Mich.—Anthony Me-
1 Parr, 30. a former circus wrest-
ler and ex-Detroit policeman, tried
to hold up the station operated by
Delmer fonder, 23-year-old former
soldier, and paid with his life.
McParr shoved a pistol into
Conder's ribs and took *63 from
the cash register. The 200-pound
hold-up man started to lock up
Cornier, when he paused to look at
a pussing oar.
fonder, who weighs hut 142
pounds, snatched a wrench and
slugged the bandit. McParr went
down, but caiue up punching, gun
in hand. The attendant kicked
away the run ami tripned the dui-
ed robber.
Seising a four-foot soctiaa of a
two by-four, lander slammed it
• loivn on the thief* loud. Police
arrived a few minutes later to haul
Mcl'arr's inert hotly to the hospital
where he died several hours later
from a fractured skull.

an immediate source of men for
Army service. Its record is one of
distinction, and the Nation's grat-
itude boos out to all thooe respon-
sible for the efficient administration
of that system, as well as to the
millions of selected men who served
with such courage and devotion.
Prom now on we are engaged in
a great test, to see whether a sys-
tem traditionally American in
peacetime—the volunteer system-
can give us the stable, well-trained
Regular Army our current interna-
tional commitments require.
We have come to a crucial turn*
iag point in the development of our
military establishment. Building an
all volunteer Regular Army is not
a job for the War Department akeia;
it is a job for the American people
—a task af writing tba
the chaos of
the Regular Army
at a strength of 1.B70.0B0 men. This
will require a constant Bow into
the Armjaof 30,000 men a month.
These men must be of high quality,
and every oa* must be a volunteer.
Thus we face a persistent qusstion:
Can we do the job?
The taak Is enormous. Never
before have are even considered
raising and maintaining a peace-
time Regular 'Army af a million
volunteers. There are no sign-posts
to go by, no experience on which to
such ob-
this
Nation before.*
