jury and Illness struck the motion
picture colony severely today, phy
sicians reporting that five promi
nent film figures were in hospitals.
Gordon Westcott, dapper society
villain, was unconscious and in
grave condition 20 hours after a
polo pony fell and rolled on him.
Westcott had a brain concession
and internal injuries.
Mae Marsh, the girl of D. W.
Griffith's famous silent film “birth
of a nation,” was seriously ill in
Santa Monica hospital, suffering
from a ruptured appendix.
Adolphe Menjou, victim of re
currence of an old stomach disor
der, was gravely ill at Good Smarl
tan hospital. A blood transfusion
was performed. Near him in the
hospital was Verree Teasdale, his
beautiful actress wife. Her illness
was not serious.
Buster Keaton, sad-faced com
edian, was in Sawtelle Veterans'
hospital under treatment for a ner
vous breakdown which caused his
collapse last week.
John Barrymore, romantic hero,

DIONNE QUINTS
IN PLAYFUL AGE
Callander, Ont., Oct. 28— (UP)—
The Dionne quintuplets, 17-months
old today, have arrived at that play
ful age when they think it is great
sport to throw blocks and toys at
the windows of their private hospital
and listen for the tinkle breaking
glass.
Dr. Allen Roy Dafoe, with a
touch of pride in the energy of his
charges, said the windows were
saved from total destruction only
by placing boards over them. These
are removed only when the children
make their “personal appearances"
for tourists.
The girls next discovered the
electric-light plugs on the floor and
spent much time trying to stuifs
toys in them. The fuses were saved
only when Dr. Dafoe ordered the
plugs raised six feet from the floor
The high cost of replacing dishes
and glasses broken when the girls
hilariously hurled them to the floor
was worrying the stall until silver
mugs and unbreakable plates were
substituted.
The babies are in perfect health
and are showing rapidly physical
and mental development, Dr. Dafoe
said. All the quintuplets soon will
be walking without assistance.
Yvonne, Cecils and Annette already
are “poking around by themselves,”
Dr. Dafoe said, and Marie and Emile
get about by holding on to a nurse’s
finger. i
Union flags are to be supplied

“Locked Out"
It’s Just an old fashioned republican habit in Waterbuiy—with the
(, o. p. always on the outside looking in. Here’s a scene reminiscent of
prohibition days, padlocks, chains, and the general suggestion of a lid
clamped down. The padlock, however, as pictured in the accompanying
photo was discovered today not on any speakeasy but on the doors of
the erstwhile republican headquarters on Harrison avenue. Members of
the "new wing” of the organization, who have been declaring that they
will continue to hold meetings and discuss the party’s future welfare
discovered this morning that they were "locked out” Chairman Fred
erick W. Palomba denies all knowledge of the incident. Late this after
noon a committee on ways and means was in session. If sufficient
money is obtained to please the landlord it was believed possible that
the padlock and chain would be removed In time for this evening’s
meeting as advertised.
No British Blockade
Of Italy At Present
(Continued from Page 1)
France, lor sending what Hull
characterized as untruthful and un
fair dispatches from this country.
Hull charged that the agency’s
dispatches from Washington, print
ed abroad, had misrepresented this
government’s policy in the Italo
Ethlopian war crisis.
Coming into his daily press con
ference, Hull referred to the foreign
agency without preliminaries or
waiting for any questions from
newspapermen. He said that, since
the Italo-Ethloplan crisis had aris
en, he had stated repeatedly that
the United States was following its
own independent cbur.se of action,
without collaboration or agreement
with any other government or
agencies abroad.
Hull said he had received official
cabled reports this morning that
Havas dispatches sent from here
and published aboard had under
taken to controdict these state
ments of policy. He said the re
porter who sent these dispatches
could have obtained the correct in
formation by a simple inquiry if he
had desired to be either truthful
or fair.
Capital Strengthens
Addis Ababa, Oct. 28—(UP)—The
capital began strengthening defenses
today against air attacks, presum
ably on the theory that the depart
ure of the former Italian minister,
Count Luigi Vinci-Gigliucci, In
creased the danger of an Italian air
raid.
After three weeks of calm, the
anti-aircraft machine guns, placed
at various strategic positions the first
day of the war and later removed,
reappeared yesterday in Menelik
Square and also near the old and
the new rayol palaces. Their protec
tion appears meager.
According to reports current here,
Italian planes have been scouting a
direct route southward, trying to lo
cate the Ethiopian forces now on.
SANTA CLAUS IS
SHOWING WARES
New York, Oct. 28—(UP)—Santa
Claus gave a pre-view today of the
$100,000,000 bag of toys he will dis
tribute eight weeks hence and
proved again that he is a manu
facturer and salesman with a lot of
go-and-get-lt. The old gent trotted
out thousands of samples of his
wares in a big Fifth Avenue build
ing under auspices oT the Toy
Manufacturers of the United
States. Toy manufacturers believe
that children this Christmas are
going to ask for “scientific” toys.
Dolls, wagons, bicycles and blocks
still are stock products, but even
they have to be streamlined and
futuristlcally colored.
Bicycles and toy automobiles have
to be streamlined to the ultimate to
sell to children familiar with air
planes, Many higher priced toy au
tomobiles have radios. The electric
eye makes its appearance as a start
ing and stopping device on several
mechanical toys.
International affairs have played
a part in remodeling toys, too.
While dolls In Europe and Japan
are being universally presenuted
this year in uniforms or Red Cross
aprons, dolls in America are garbed
in normal street wear. Even on
A-B-C blocks, where for generations
children have read that “S is for
soldiers,” one now learns that “S Is
for scout"
