DANGERS MENACED
BY "QUEEN EMMA"
Hollywood Pair Threatened
With Death for Man
Stealing.
•7 the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.. February 5.
—Two pretty Hollywood dancers were
guarded by police today as authori
ties investigated a strange death
threat letter directed at them.
The dancers were Rosemary Smith,
daughter of a former journalism pro
fessor at Stanford University, and
Robin Annesley.
Police were informed of the threat
by Mrs. William Y. Dinan. Santa
Barbara, Calif., mother of Robin. The
letter, postmarked Los Angeles, and
eent to Mrs. Dinan, read:
"Waning: Midnight, February 6,
your daughter's body will be found In
the Los Angeles County Morgue unless
•he has permanently vacated Los An
geles in the meantime.
To Be Taken for Ride.
"She and her pal Rosy have been
Out on the spot for double-crossing—
They will be taken for a ride at the
eame time, for they are both trying
to go away with my man.
"They can't treat the queen of the
underworld that way and get away
with it. The sooner they're gotten
rid of the more certain I'll be of my
bread and butter.
"Below is part of letter she wrote
my man—to show you we're not fool
ing. (Signed) QUEEN EMMA."
Attached was a slip of paper, ap
parently torn from a scratch pad. On
It was written, "Love and kisses,
Robin."
"While Miss Annesley said the note
was in her writing, evidently stolen
from a pad in her studio dressing
room, neither she nor Miss Smith
could throw any more light on the
matter.
Police Are Puziled.
Police were similarly puzzled, though
sure of the belief that jealousy of
some sort was behind the note.
As a precautionary step, the girls
were furnished with a police car to
drive to and from the studio where
they are working in a musical pro
duction.
The girls, both 22 years old, said
they did not intend to "vacate" Holly
wood and would go ahead with their
work.
Hollywood police, accustomed to
it range situations which often en
velop the movie people, said they
didn't know what to make of the
threat.

Ceremony Marks Final Blast to
Complete Bore Through
Solid Bock.
By the Associated Press.
WEST PORTAL, Colo., February 5.

{Rockies was "holed through" yester
| day while several hundred Colorad

Oreg., told member» of the Aviation
Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade at a luncheon
meeting yesterday In the Harring
ton Hotel. The Portland Airport,
shown in this aerial photograph,
was established In large part on
ground made by the dumping of
river dredgings. Within a year
after It was filled hard-surfaced
runways were constructed and the
airport opened for operation, Mr.
Polhemus said. Although there
has been some settling of the made
ground since the runways were laid,
the settlement has been even and
has caused no difficulties, he ex
plained. Among the guests of the
committee who heard his descrip
tion of the similarity of the Port
land project to that proposed at
Gravelly Point were Maj. Gen.
Edward Markham, chief of Army
Engineers, under whose direction

The Greatest Advance in Collar Comfort Since the
Founding of the Industry
The revolutionary Jayson collar idea can be described in a few words
—FOR THE FIRST TIME YOU CAN ENJOY A SHIRT WITH A
COLLAR THAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN STARCHED—YET
IT IS NOT STARCHED. For years shirt and collar craftsmen have
been seeking a method which would provide a collar with stiff collar
appearance and soft collar comfort. Starching has never been satis
factory because it makes a collar airtight, stiff and uncomfortable—
and a starched collar quickly wilts, wrinkles, curls or blisters in use.
But now, by the Jayson method—the collar is NEVER starched, is por
ous, pliable and permanently neat... If you want a revelation in what
collar comfort can be—by all means see the Jayson shirt tomorrow.

IN OUR WINDOWS
The JAYSON Collar
1. No Starch 5. No Wrinkle
2. No Curl 6. No Stiffness
3. No Wilt 7. No Blister
4. No Crush 8. No Stays
No matter how much you perspire,
you can never give your shirt more of
a soaking than it gets in the fish tank
displayed AT MEYERS MENS SHOP.
Here a Jayson shirt and an ordinary
shirt have been soaking for several
days—the Jayson Collar is still as neat
as before the test—the ordinary col
lar has wilted, wrinkled and curled.
