HOLrLYVyoOD, Cal., Apr. 15.—
(AP)-—Filmdom has decided to go
down to the sea in ships, so popular
is the salt water yarn-
Among those who interpret the
trend toward sea pictures as- some-
thing more than one of those "film
cycles" which usually follows an
outstanding success in any particular
type of story is Tom White, who five
^ars-ngo went into the film navy
business by furnishing a Squth Sea
Islands schooner for a picture called
"Ebb Tide."
, White has accumulated since then
lyicti ■. a' fleet of full-rigged clippers,
barkéntlnes, schooners and sloops
that-'-he. has formed a company to
produce nothing but sea pictures,
meanwhile continuing to lease ves-
t-els to th&njMg producers. He be-
lieves the Jsfpularlty of the sea pic-
ture is no moVe of a transient fad
(han the popularity of "western"
films.
Sea pictures, he explains, appeal
to that same love of action and stirr-
ing adventure that has made and
kept the "westerns" popular. But
"westerns" always have been com-
paratively easy to make, while the
first sea plcturr using a full,rigged
clipper involved not only finding and
putting such a ship into commission
but gathering a crew of old-timers
who could sail it.
With the rapid growth of the mo-
vie fleet working .in Southern Cali-
fornia waters and the accumulation
of sea picture experience by directors
and producers, it has become possi-
ble to film a salt water, yarn without
much more preparation or expense
than other types of pictures.

PARIS, May 10.—American wo-
men coming to Paris for the conven-
tions of the American Legion and
Auxiliar^ in September will have op-
portunities to make shopping tours
of the- Paris unit of the Auxiliary,
wives, mothers, sister and daugh-
ters ef the 1,200 members of the
Paris Legion post, are preparing to
Resist the women attending the con-
vention to make the most of their
time in Paris. Having lived in Paris
for extended period , most of the Le-
gion Women here speak French flu-
ently and know the secrets of shop-
ping in the world's greatest fashion
center.
The difficulty of where to shop
presents itself at once to th new-
comer in Paris. The shops are o
numerous, the procedure so diffi-
cult from anything encountered in
America that a feeling of bewilder-
ment is inevitable.
There are no ready-made clothes
in Paris except in the department
stores. Every dress in hrdluetahrci
sample frocks made to fit the man-
stores. Every dress shop has certain
uequin who wears them. The cus
tomer goes to the shop, looks over
the iiresses and if one pleases her,
order it made in her size and in the
colors that are becoming to her.
Only in rare cases is a frock f«und
pear enough the right size.
Many of the famous shops are lo-
cated within a short distance of the
Hotel Continental, which will • be
lieadquarters of the Auxiliary. On
the rue de la Paix, the shortest and
most, famous street in the world, are
to be found the House of Worth,
the House of Doucet, two of the old-
est designers in Paris; Brandt, who
specializes in tailored suits, Paquin
an<t Boue Soeurs.
Austin Plans are being made by
the city council for improving the

Avenu.

Britons Disagree Over
Preserving Thatched Roofs
WASHINGTON — (AP)—An ed-
mtnistratlon tendency to turn in-
creasingly to career men for diplo-
matic appointments lias been noted
with speculative interest by gossip
loving Washington.
A number of recent appointments,
including the new Canadian and
Irish Free State jobs and others of
higher or lower rating, give point
to' the impression that the old poli-
tical diplomat idea is passing.
Certain foreign berths, of course,
probably will be filled always
through political channels. Ambas-
sador to the Court of St. Jems heads
that list. But even Senators, when
they are not pressed to satisfy politi-
cal debts of their own, are now ¡-.¿id
to approve the increased reliance on
the career service for tilling impor-
tant posts. Evidence also is accu-
mulating that American business
men with foreign problems to solve
are pleased with the drift toward
trained men.
In filling the new post of Minis-
ter to Canada, experience was an im-
portant consideration, and that ap-
parently accounted for the exception-
al procedure of appointing a man
who held the rank of ambassador,
William Phillips, then at Brussels, to
the lower ranking assignment. The
idea of promotion, however, was fol-
lowed out in transferring Frederick
A. Sterling from Loudon, where he
was counselor of embassy, to the
Irish Free State as minister.
Other recent changes include the
promotion of Robert Woods Bliss
from minister of Sweden to be am-
bassador to Argentina; Francis White
irom counselor at Madrid, and Wil-
liam R. Castle, Jr., from chief of the
Western European Division of the
State Department, to assistant sec-
retaryships; Hugh R. Wilson from
chief o fthe Current Information
Division to minister at Berne; Hugh
S. Gibson from Berne to be ambassa-
dor at Brussels; Leland Herrison
from assistant secretary to minister
at Stockholm, and .i. Butler Wright
from assistant secretary to minister
at Budapest.

INVITATION TO WRITE TO RADIO
BOARD BRINGS FLOOD OF REPLIES

WASHINGTON. May 2.—(AP)—-
When the Federal Radio Commission
organized, it issued a general a gen-
eral invitation to all persons inter-
ested in radio in the United States
to communicate by letter such facts
or fancies as seemed desirable-
" It Is not likely that particular in-
vitation will ever be repeated; the
response has been so generous that
it Is still doubtful whether any of-
fice business other than the opening
of the replies will be nccommplished
About the commission for some time.
In myriads, the radio fans grasp-
ing their pens or leaped to type-
writers. The letters to the com-
mission began trickling in a few score
a day, and then swelled to an un-
broken, constant tide, nnd for ten
days have nveraged more than 1,000
separate communications for each 24
hours. A special force has been as-
signed to .assort and digest them, and
to stack up the drawings that come
along with the ..scripts. The radio
fan runs very much tt> diagrams, be-
abstract ideas that permeate the radi
world.
In the rough classification so far
attempted, two general types of re-
sponse have been made out- One
includes the letters from listeners-
in, who want to say emphatically
that they like certain stations. The
other include the letters from the
same kind of persons who want to
say exactly the reverse, usually In
most, positive fashion. This sort of
letter, being in essence a vote, goes
into a count, and the findings may
rise up and smite a broadcaster here
and there.
It will take some weeks to get the
llrst informal digest of correspond-
ence prepared, and then the com-
missioners Intend to study It care-
fttly. But It will not ask for any-
more general correspondence. Con-
gress didn't appropriate money to
handle a job like that.

YEOVIL, Somerset, Eng.,— CAP)
—Miss Ellen Wilkinson, the first
woman member of parliament to
bob her hair, has started a coun-
ter movement against saving the
thatched roofed cottages of Eng-
land, cliielly in Somerset and Suf-
folk.
Admitting the picturesqueness of
the ancient house, she contends
they are dreary, uncomfortable and
insanitary.
"The rose covered cottages, with
their thatched roofs are full of ro-
mance so far as the eye is con-
cerned," declared Miss Wilkinson,
"but beneath the surface and in the
garret there are a lot of other
things, alive—bats, rats, mice, and
insects—and also the danger of
fire.
"It is true the old fashioned cot-
tages are rather coo) in summer,
but that's about all that may lie
said of them. There are too many
dark corners to suit me. Women
of these times must have plenty of
light, anr and space."
One of the champions of the
proposal to save the cottages from
the housewrecker is Stanley Bald-
win, the prime minister. Baldwin
has agreed to aid the Royal Society
of Arts in its aim to preserve the
countryside from further inroads
by builders.
The society for the Preservation
of Rural England has also taken up
cudgels against town planning
schemes which would mar beauty
spots of the country. Sussex
Downs, it has been pointed out,
one of the large open spaces within
automobile distance of Loadon, has
already heen scarred by the erec-
tion of s; '-ings of bungalows. In
the trail of the motorist there are
tilling stations at every cross roads,
and the old time villages are being
cluttered up with garages, tea
shops and hotels for summer
travelers.
Special appeal to architects and
to lovers of country life have been
issued by the various organizations
supporting the preservation move-
ment.
