4 FEATURES Job Lack Blasts Hopes Of Marriage Cleveland, Ohio, March 11 U.R One of the most poignant tragedies of the world's economic chaos is the group of young people eager to marry but whose hopes are blocked because of lack of job possibilities, according to Miss Mary A. Johnson, expert on marriage problems. Miss Johnson, assistant to the dean of women at Brooklyn College, of New York, who teaches a course in preparation for mar riage, believes the "modern tragedy" lies in the plight of young people who have all the quanri-cations for a happy marriage, but race a hopeless economic future. "There is a lost group that never will she said at a convention of the National Asso ciation of of Women here. "Here are boys and girls, past the RlO4 vs.

It's Tough to Be a Legend, But John Montague Hopes To Live Up to Being One By INEZ KOBB. Los Angeles, March 11. It's- tough to be a legend.

John Montague, once the "Mystery Man" of golf, is a legend and he knows it. He hopes to live up to that legend in the National Open golf championship this June at Philadelphia. He hopes to unlimber for the general public a brand of golf that, in song and story, is second onJy to Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe. It'd be kind of nice to prove that Tm as good as my press notices, Montague, whose grin is contagious and whose chuckle is irresistible, said today. "The trouble is.

everyone expects a miracle. It wouldn't be so hard if people were just content to let me get by in the low sixties. Says "I'm Only Hnrnu." "The trouble is." he added with an explosive laugh, "they want me to perform in the low forties or fifties. And, gee, I'm only human! But for better or for worse, Montague Is entering the National Open early in the summer. "That is, he stipulates earnestly, "if I'm lucky enough to qualify.

Of course, after all that's been written about me, Td love to make a grand showing and earn some of those superlatives. No one wants to be a bust. But 111 have to play the best golf I know how even to qualify in the- National because both the pro and amateur golf ranks today are full of the highest type golfers, and great ones to boot" A solidly built man of medium height, he has a handshake like the village blacksmith and a chest like a barrel. Above his powerful chest is a round, ruddy face, so plump and likable, so open and so hearty that one immediately decides that the jury which acquitted him of a stick-up charge in Northern New York State had the right Idea all the time. It Is inconceivable that a guy with such an infectious laugh and such candid brown eyes could ever, as Lav-erne Moore, have stuck up a tavern during prohibition.

All a Closed Chapter New. But that's a closed chapter In his history now. He first came to California in 1921. and finally came here to live in 1929. when his golfing ability, then strictly rub-rosa, finally began to leak into the newspapers.

That famous game he played, using a shovel, a rake and a baseball bat as clubs, catapulted him into the limelight, and now it hangs around his neck like an albatross. Legend says he is still a tremendous gambler on his own golf game or anything else that strikes his fancy. He laughed about this today. "People are always walking up to me and wanting to bet on the damndest things, he explained. "A guy got awfully mad at me recently when I wouldn't bet I could make four holes-in-one in a single golf game.

I got a pocketful of dough to bet, this man says to me, and I say, 'Boy, you keep it right in your pocket. Montague, both before and since his "trouble," has been a popular man-about-town in these parts. He's as popular as ever with the movie colony. He and his pretty wife, the former Mrs. Esther Plunkett, have a fine home in Beverly Hills.

Now he's planning to bring his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ma the Moore, now on a farm in upper New York, out to California to spend the rest of their days in the sunshine. (Capyricht, 1831.) 1 Miss Johnson, who learns about youth troubles from her girl students who seek her advice, sees little encouragement, "Really, there is no solution at present apparent, she said. "The Girl Scouts, after an exhibition of folk dancing, pose in their colorful foreign costumes.

best we can do is to help the girl take an objective point of view so that she will see both sides of the problem she is facing and make no mistakes. "Some of the girls are planning to work, perfectly willing to be the sole support until their husbands can get on their feet We don't Girl Scouts Now Number 516,000 As 27th Year Ends By ID A BELLE S.

We recommend that she have a mini mum of $250 in the bank for emergencies and an income of at least $25 a week." Warns Against Haste. Miss Johnson said she tries to prevent girls from plunging into incompatible marriage because of a strong love of the moment "We don't want to take all the romance out of marriage, she said. "But we try to induce the student to take an objective point of view. We stress the importance of the boy and girl having sim ilar interests. welfare organizations whenever they are needed, and particularly in times of emergency.

They keep informed on National and world topics by holding forums and current events discussions the better to know how they ay help, and when. During the hurricane which swept the East Coast last year, Girl Scouts collected food and clothing to send to the sufferers. They served in canteens in the stricken area as messengers, distributed hot coffee, and aided in registering the refugees. One group of Girl Scouts supplied boiled water to relief workers in an area cut off from safe water supply, and continued to supply it until a pipeline could be routed to the district. Girl Scouts In Greenville, Louisiana Girl Acts a Legend New York, March 11.

In 1,917, when the Girl Scout movement was only five years old, the United States had just entered the World War. There were only 3,000 Girl Scouts then, but, 3,000 strong, they offered to do their bit for their country. Tomorrow, 516,000 Girl Scouts will honor the twenty-seventh birthday of the Girl Scout movement in the United States, and they point with pride to the record of service begun in war and continued in peace. Through twenty-seven years, Girl Scouts have proved that American girls are as interested in being good citizens as they are in having fun. Aid In Hurricane Area.

All over the country, they make some contribution to community life. In some communities, Girl Scouts gather periodicals, magazines, and old books, and take them to homes for the aged, seamen's homes, and hpspitals. They volunteer their services to Lx i S. material for r-' IT historical, civic, educational and industrial map of the city. They were assisted by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce.

Twelve hundred maps were printed on the initial order, and have been sold not only in Greenville, but in all parts of the world. (Copyright, 1939. by N. A. N.

Inc.l Special to The Courier-Journal. New York, March 11. Of the younger Southern girls now on Broadway, three have won all the critics" superlatives. Helen Claire of Alabama, Mary Martin of Texas, and Adele Longmire of Louisiana. Miss Claire, starring in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye, is having a holiday capitalizing on her Southern background.

Mary Martin's fabulous legs and novel singing have made "Leave It to more fun than the law allows. Adele Longmire, the youngest of the three, modifies Louisiana mellowness to portray a legendary Illinois heroine. There is' no hint about Miss Longmire toS suggest Ann Rutledge, who as her father's barmaid casts a brief glow into the melancholy soul of Lincoln and then is gone. While Miss Longmire dressed, she told her story, one that began in New Orleans only twenty years ago. "In a convent school I began taking small parts, and after graduation played regularly with local Theater du Vieux Carre.

One day I looked into my bankbook and decided it would give five months in New York or maybe six under expert budgeting. I began to make the rounds, but finally had to get a job as usher In a theater. "Nothing really happened until summer came and a part in Robert Edmond Jones' production of Hugo's 'Ruy Bias' in Colorado. One night when I was going through my brief paces, in walked Elmer Rice, who was to be the director of 'Lincoln In Illinois." He didn't stay long, but did see me on stage and left a note telling me to look him up when I returned to New York. "In May I returned, clutching the note.

Mr. Rice took me to see Robert Sherwood, the author. We talked for awhile and then Mr. Sherwood suddenly said. That's fine.

She'll do. Imagine; I hadn't even read a line. "In my excitement I blurted out, 'Suppose I come back in a couple of days to be Outside, my mind began to clear and I suddenly realized I had just suggested that they change their minds. Had asked them to! That cost me two nights sleep. But here I am.

Adele Longmire modestly says that if she stood' behind the backtrop and gave only one lme, the legendary character of Ann Rutledge still would charm the audience. When she was convinced that she had the part, our young Southerner rushed -er to the public library to read up on her character. In all the abundance of material on Lincoln, Adele Adele Longmire, Louisiana actress, as she appears in 'Lincoln In Illinois. found only three brief references to hia first love. Each time she was blond, short, stouUsh, dewey-eyed.

Brunette Adele returned to her director fully determined to be blond if necessary. To Mr. Rice, however, Ann Rutledge's color scheme was less important than her spirit. He was still confident he had found that in his New Orleans actress. Asked about' how she, as Southerner, felt about acting in a play on Lincoln, Ann opened wide her large dark eyes and answered: "Lincoln belongs to the South, too, don't you think? As for the play, it sort of grows on you.

Every time I hear the lines again, they seem more beautiful. There's excitement in trying to recreate the period. "When I was a little girl in Louisiana we celebrated with enthusiasm the national heroes' birthdays. Weren't they good enough to stir up holidays for us? But Lincoln was more or less skipped over Gee! I suppose I shouldn't say that but maybe we were still too close to that period for the historians to decide how to treat him." fCopyrlBht.)
