unit which with few changes
could be changed into a coin
operated film phonograph. The
manufacturer is Litho Equip­
ment and Supply Company,
Chicago.
This fellow came up before
Justice Worley, who gave him
the choice of joining the Navy
or going to jail for thirty days.
He chose the former. Through
the man that was a r r e s t e d ,
Renfro got the names of the
rest of the gang.
They are all Los Angeles
boys, having graduated from
high school in 1935.
Estes, the locksmith of the
gang, can open any lock made,
but a H e r c u l o c k or an Ace
Lock. He demonstrated his skill
in the Sheriff’s office by opening
up Yale locks for the boys.

Duke Ellington, who’s been
collecting awards and honors
galore in recognition of his 20
years in the musical limelight,
adds a new honor to the list
when David Ewen, noted music
critic, publishes his book, “ Men
of Popular Music”. As one of
the foremost creators and ex­
ponents of American jazz, the
Duke rates an entire chapter
on his work and achievements.

Sheriff’s i n v e s t i g a t o r s
checked a complaint at a liquor
store, 470 No. Doheny, regard­
ing a burglary of the marble
game. The proprietor got the
license number of the car be­
longing to the man who last
played the machine . He gave
this to Renfro, who after con­
siderable sleuthing, l o c a t e d
this fellow and arrested him.
When David C. Rockola turned
the entire plant over to war
production, the inventories of
coin operated phonographs and
other civilian goods were plac­
ed in outside warehouses where
the Rock-Ola sales departments
have been conducting t h e i r
transactions and shipments up
until now.
Jack Nelson, vice-president
and general sales manager, in
speaking of the program re­
cently stated,“While it is some­
times mighty inconvenient to
handle our COMMANDO pho­
nographs out of warehouses in
every part of the United States,
we are mighty proud that we
could turn over the entire fa­
cilities of our mamoth plant to
the war program right in the
beginning when a fast start
meant so much to the winning
of the war.”

“See here”, said the mission­
ary to the jungle chief, “it is
wrong to have more than one
wife. Tell all your wives except
one that they can no longer
look upon you as their hus­
band”.
After a moment’s hesitation,
the chief said:“You tell them!”

Is This the Secret of Success?
Recently an eminent insur­
ance executive gave a speech
in New York. His subject was
success. Men expected him to
say the usual things — h a r d
work, self-denial, self-improve­
ment are the ingredients.
He said nothing of the kind.
He told the truth about suc­
cess.
For he said, “The common
denominator of success— the
secret of success for every man
who has ever been successful—
lies in the fact that he formed
the habit of doing things that
failures don’t like to do.”
Think that over and you will
see that you have never read
in one, not-too-long sentence
more basic truth about a dis­
puted question than you find
here— “he formed the habit of
doing things that failures don’t
like to do.”
There are some parts of my
job I dislike so much I don’t do
them. They keep me from suc­
cess, I know. There are some
parts of your job you dislike
so heartily you don’t do them.
That’s all right just so long as
you and I recognize that we
h a n d i c a p ourselves toward
more success in so doing.
I have often told salesmen
that if they’d merely do every­
thing they ought to do every
day there’s no amount of suc­
cess they wouldn’t attain. “But
I know you won’t do these
things you ought to do,” I al­
ways tell them. “Only a few
men will. They are the men
who make the grade, the real­
ly successful men. The rest of
us have to be satisfied with less,
which is too bad, because the
more is there waiting for us.”

Wool Company, ma’m. Would

“Gosh, yes, tell me a couple.”

RECORD NEWS
The Four Vagabonds have
been hitting the high r o a d s
around Chicago for more than
a year, and are now right about
on top. Mid-westerners have
been hearing them over Chi­
cago radio stations for s o m e
time - - but since their recent
recording on Bluebird of “Rosie
the Riveter” and “I Had The
Craziest Dream,” their f a m e
has been leaping into high all
around the c o u n t r y . ROSS.
ANN OF CHARING CROSS,
(Bluebird 30-0811) a Hit Par­
ade member, is their latest con­
tribution to the record world.
Sung in the slow, s o o t h i n g
manner of The Four Vaga­
bonds, the s o n g will make
young love and old love lilt
along to its melody.
On the reverse side of this
Bluebird disc, the Four Vaga­
bonds bring the first recording
of one of the top novelties of
the day, TEN LITTLE SOLD­
IERS. Reminiscent of a favor­
ite childhood ditty, “Ten Little
Indian Boys,” the rhythmic
tune is one that gets you whist­
ling and humming. TEN LIT­
TLE SOLDIERS tells the story
of that many soldiers, ten little
sailors, ten little marines....and
Genevieve.
