Star-dust in Hollywood
as we had read recently that too many American boys were passing through college for the amount of work open to university graduates, we hardened our hearts.
" Wadje mean," exclaimed one incredulously, " don't read the newspapers? "
"Why should we?"
" Well, how dyer know what's going on ? "
" What difference does it make to me what is going on ? " I protested.
"Well, all I can say is, you'd better go on dig yourself out a cave and bury yourself in it," he retorted.
And as he left the court he loudly informed the lodgers in the farthest bungalow :
" D'jou believe it? There's a guy in that bungalow up there that don't want to know nothing at all."
In the end house of the court a special room had been constructed as wastepaper-basket for the enormous masses of newspaper consumed by the other lodgers. About thirty pounds' weight of Sunday newspapers alone were cast in every Monday morning, and once a week the paper-refuse cart passed and collected the discarded piles of raw reading matter in which Los Angeles delighted.
And yet in the end we succumbed to the frightful fascination of the American newspaper. We did not think then of collecting headlines, but an American humorous paper, the Boulevardier, published in Paris, has taken a sample which we may offer. The following are headlines from a single issue of a New York morning paper :
LOVE-MAD MODEL HELD IN ARTIST'S KILLING
DRY RAIDERS ROUT DEBS ON PARK AVENUE
BEER KING MACHINE-GUNNED
FRANKIE DUNN SLAIN: KILLER SUICIDE
"COMA" DEATH STARTS PROBE
