Silver coins and silverware are not included. Under the silver purchase act the treasury Is authorized to value the silver It obtains at $1.29 an ounce and to Issue silver certificates on that basis. The government proposes to hold enough silver to make up 25 per cent of the metal backing of the national currency. No one knows how much silver bullion tlieie Is In the United States, and It may be necessary to make considerable purchases In China and India. Nationalization OF STATE HULL of Agriculture Wallace Joined In a statement concerning their efforts to revive America's world trade, explaining that the reciprocal trade agreements to be negotiated with foreign countries will be beneficial and not harmful to American agriculture and manufacturing. The statement pointed out. In answer to criticism from farm organizations, that farm Interests would not be sacrificed to aid other groups. It also said no sacrifice of any major or basic agricultural or manufacturing Industry was planned, although Secretary Wallace told reporters that some harm might be done to a tiny fraction of the producers for the greater good of all.

I VON PAPEN. vice rlmn cellor of Germany, who was minister to Austria during the excitement that followed the assassination of Chancellor CMtANZ Doll-fus- has heen ac- cepted by the A us triun cabinet aider considerable delay. His avowed task Is to restore am loable relations between the two governments, but this will not be easy. Chancellor Schusch-ulgIs as deter mined to root out Nazism In Austria as was his preile cessor, and at the same time the German Nazis are keeping up their press and radio attacks on the Aus trlan government In camps around Munich are about 40,000 Austrian Nazi fugitives for whom Von is expected to obtain amnesty so they may return to their country; but as they have been hoping to march Into Austiia under arm to overthrow the government, It Isnt likely Sclnischnlgg will care to let them return. The cabinet In Vienna Is taking vigorous action to curb the Nazis, and It Is reported that the executive committee of that party had been ordered dissolved, the members being told to take leaves of absence and to cease activities. Chancellor. nitler Is daily solidifying his power In Germany. The latest step Is to require all Protestant pastors and church officials to take an oath of fealty to Hitler Just as did the Nazi storm troops and members of the regular army. New rules were Imposed by the national synod that make Relchs-blshoMueller the supreme lawmaker and authority for the church. Between eight and ten thousand political prisoners in concentration camps were given their liberty by an amnesty decree announced by Hitler In memory of President Von Hlndenburg.

Then to have somebody peak up that bever bad enough humor to get the Idea that It wa a great charai ter study ot a man. The story wasent of a building. It was of the man great pride In his chosen profession. You can make anything you are a mind too out of anything, but that llttlo story that sold over a million copies, and here I a funny thing bout It. It was tho best people that got IL The dumb guy, the cleverness of the whole thing was lost on him. I wish this bird that wrote that knew Chick Sales, he would get the surprise of his life. He has done for twenty five years the cleanest and most applauded act ever In vaudeville. He Is so clean that he I almost a prude. I remember years ago, long before the publication of the book. Chick told me that story, and 1 rushed borne to repeat all of It I could remember, and I could visualise this old carpenter, an artist to bl hammered old linger Ups. Reading this little obscure mine Information here tonight, bring back the memory of my first meeb Ing with Chick. We were both on th bill togeather at the Grand Opera House. Pittsburgh, Pa. both doing single, (that la I mean both act were acts where we worked along). Chli k was doing those great set of characters that have lived so long till they have become classics. Why the old man with the horn sitting on a stool blow Ing on it, Is as famous as that statue of a fellow sitting on a rock, called the Thinker. Then the preacher making tho annouce-ments- , then the fresh boy, then the girl reciting. He had Just got married, and his wife was a beautiful, lovely sweet girl, and very accomplished violin player. Well Chick had her on the bill doing a single. I watched his ca recr, and occasionally run Into him. He was the biggest hit with an audience, and the biggest hit off stage with all actors, that I can recall In all my years of stage work. He lived at Urbana, the home of the Illinois University. His father was a dentist. I played the town, and went out to see his folks, as grand an old couple as ever lived. His Dad used to make him up sets of teeth that he wore In some of his characters, and they are what principally changed his whole looks. Mis. Rogers and 1 were up to his rented flat one time when bis twins were born. Now here they are growa children, and what fine ones his children have turned out to be. He lives somewhere now, and like many of admiring friends, our trails just dont happen to cross very often. This whole Hollywood and Los Angeles Is the darndest places to have friends that you never see, if you dont happen to work at the same studio. I got lots of friends that I havent seen in years, and I would Just love too, but it seems it Just dont happen so. If I run onto Chick I am going to show him this little article by this squirt who is such an authority on what constitutes the decay of the American mind. Its like reading that the Archbishop of Canterbury had been caught In a night club. Chick is awful good in pictures. He is a real character actor. The rest of us Just do a character. He lives him. He is him. Remember the old man "That had talked to Lincoln? Well that little article of this guy did some good ; - 1111,0 anyhow. It brought back to my mind fresh memories of one of the finest characters that ever put foot on our stage. A real fine wholesome man, that has peibaps got more applause, given more clean amusement, got more laughs per minute, than any vaudeville act in America. Gosh that vaudeville, how we miss it. No class of entertainment has ever approached it for real entertainment. The variety, the worlds various collection of talents, the years of practice to attain perfection in acts ot skill. And to have been the outstanding figure in that glorious parade is something Chick Sales can be proud of. Q McN aught Syatttcaa, lag. |
