Timely v Garden Talk By LILLEE L. MADSEN Last Sunday I mentioned white flowering shrubs and plants for the garden. -Now folio two re quests, one for red aad one for pink flowering ptant3. To deal with the red flowering varieties first: It should 4e remembered that One will have rather a peculiar looking garden-it one tries to-mak a "red" garden: AU red flower Ing materials -do not go well -together as do the white. There are" too many jwaste- ties of red colors . . . or, pernor -I -should say hades of red? However, one ' correspondent writes: - Z . J ; 1 "White Is tee eeof -and cold looking. I want te warm It up v with red. Give-eae lot of red shrubs. It must be remembered to sep arate two reeVIeemis shrubs if they bloom at the same time. , One f our first red. shrubs to- bloom Is ' the ; low-grading oriental aza lea. If given proper treatment during the previous' summer, when the " buds are aettmj, this win be covered with bright red flowr 'er in early aprwg.

When it comes, io -herbasceous nd annual flower? ,of red eolor ing, we have any number. Com ing first'ta our mind likely; is the peonies.

No matter who was on the program, I was always there. When the lecturer was good, it was worth the time. When he was dull as the ridge of a sand dune in the wake of Rommel's retreat, it was still worth attending, for then I caught up on lost sleep. Sleeping through a lecture- is an art I learned in col lege. You do it by rhythm; by synchronizing the senses with the monotony of the speaker's voice. You don't have to worry about not being i awakened when It's over, for those who can't sleep always applaud. J One of the most dynamic lec turers I ever heard was Dale Carnegie. I'd read his book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." but hadn't liked a bit of it I already had all the' friends I needed and couldn't think of a soul -on earth I wanted to in fluence. My bees had read , the book and thought It was great staff. He stayed p nearly all night reading It. Next morning he steed before his mirror aad ' fixed on Just the right expres sion he thong ht the book reeom ' mended far winning friends and influencing people, and came te work that way. We were having ; a spell of sub-sero weather; and thought his face had-fro-en. Dale Carnegie was on our forum list and I went to hear him aim ply, because . I bad a press pass. His -book having impressed me as so much bosh, I was present with not .even polite mental res ervations. But - the moment he stepped out there in front of the footlights I couldn't help feeling he really ' had something. But. the lecturer who kept me perilously on the edge of the seat with 'both hands cupped behind mv ears was Rockwell Kent In case you've never met the gen tlemao. Rockwell Kent is Ameri ca's most outstanding example of the type or person wno goes through-' life doing exactly the things he feels yke doing. Once he felt a yen to spend a winter on an Alaskan island. So he did it; Personally, I'd have prefer red a tropical island, where there are sarongs and coconuts. I am especially fond fo coconuts. But for some odd reason Mr. Kent wanted to find out what it was like being snowed in. He wrote book about it Another time, he wanted to navigate the treacherous Megellan strait in an ordinary -tramp ship's lifeboat. The title of the book he wrote about this thrilling adventure was "Voy aging." A rather prosaic title. I thought, for such an exciting jbif of neck-risking. . Once he got to . wondering how it - would feel being an Eskimo. So he got permission from the Danish government and went to Greenland. He liked the Eskimos so well he spent three years with them. This venture was the sub ject of his lecture. For sheer in terest it j was the best , lecture I ever heard. . . . ? Kackwell Kent b somewhat of an asilsC and Illustrates Ids own ' writings. He Is also somewhat ef ahnn-orist Net many years age-he was con-missioned te do a aanral en ft project in Wash ington. DC He Incorporated, wttfcent additional charge, some stnwge i and nebulous hiere glypkies and refused to dhrolge their eanlng. When finally a leaned etymologist who could decipher them was found. It was discovered the artist had prac tically insulted . the new deal administration. r Although rve never had the pleasure of hearing him, another American .with, over-active yens is Jim Moran. He differs, how ever, from Mr. Kent in that his achievements are of a purely com mercial nature. Even as a mere lad hehad the rare instinct for thinking up new ways to make money. His first venture was tell ing advertising space on the ceil ings of barber shops, for the eyes Oiheruise GRANT of potential customers being shaved. A few years ago he went to Alaska and sold an icebox to an Eskimo. He brought back a huge hunk of Arctic ice. He didn't know exactly what he was go ing to do with it, but it seemed a good idea at the time. And it was. He sold it to an artificial ice manufacturer, who exhibited it in a window with a sign reading "Made ever 100,000 years ago in Alaska. Laboratory analysis shows our ice is even purer." Another time, he decided to see how long it would take him to find a needle in a haystack. Es tablishing a haystack on a busy street corner and tossing a needle in, he began the hunt He paused only to sell bits ef hay to a gulli ble audience for souvenirs, and found the 'needle in 80 hours' and SO minutes. . Then there was the time he decided to find ot wkat a bull does to a china shop. With a ' spenser wealthy enough - 'to guarantee the damages, he led a ball into one ef New York's best dinnerware empertsuns. The ball only steed there, sur rounded by $5e,0O9 worth of the finest chins In the world. Yes, sir, the bull Just stood there. The dope! The last I heard of Jim Moran he was exerting his best patriotic efforts toward winning the war. He had a brilliant idea, which was to cap all the world's Volcanoes and cause a tremendous explosion in that part of the earth where he figured the crust was thinnest Germany. He reasoned Ger many's crust was worn thinner than any place else, by so many marching feet The only trouble with the idea seemed to be that he couldnt find anybody willing to help him put the caps on the volcanoes. Be sides, he found, most of the im portant volcanoes are owned-and operated exclusively by Italy and Japan. Unionvale News TJNIONVAI- Twenty women attended the special home demon stration unit meeting held all day Tuesday at the Ladies Aid room. Miss Lucy Lane extension special ist of Oregon college, .

RAW, RED, ROASCfG adventure Is "North to the Xaondlke, starring Brod Crawford and Andy Devtne. New showing at the liberty theatre. U is co-featured wUh "Zlemcmber Pearl Harbor." 1 I 'Eagle' Film At Elsinore ; - Diana Barrymore in ? Screen Debut in Flying Story In "Eagle Squadron, the' new Universal film now at the Elsi nore : theatre, ; Producer .- Walter Wanger has notably achieved the screen's first authentic story of the great war both in the air and on the land. From the English' fighting front comes this story of American pilots who Joined the royal air force long before 'their own coun try's entrance into the war . Their swift Spitfires have written many a heroic chapter in ; the war of the clouds since then. The fact that many incidents In the picture are based on exploits of the real Eagle Squadron, lends to the Wanger production a dra matic authenticity seldom achiev ed on the screen. The long and Imposing cast of players, contributes performances fully as noteworthy as the theme of their story. In the leading role, Robert Stack portrays a young Californian who Joins the . Eagle Squadron and through his ad ventures and his romance the story is unfolded. Opposite , him, in the character of a member of the women's aux iliary air force, Is Diana Barry more, daughter of John Barry- more and the youngest member of the famous "royal family" of stage and screen, proves by her performance that she is a not able nowcomer to the cinema. Likewise worthy of praise Is the work of such well known players as Jon Hall, Eddie Al bert, Nigel 'Bruce, Evelyn Ankers, Leif Erikson, John Loder, Edgar Barrier, Isobel ' Elsom, Gladys Cooper, Paul Cavanaugh, Richard Davis, Jill Esmond, Gene Rey nolds, Alan Hale, jr and many others. "Eagle Squadron" in fact, has the record number of ninety eight speaking parts and all of them are poignantly dramatic. Hedy Drops Her Glamour In departure from any previous characterization of her screen ca reer, Hedy Lemarr plays. Dolores "Sweets' Ramirez, the fiery, tem pestuous girl of John Steinbeck's "Tortilla Flat" The Metro-Gold-wyn -Mayer picture, starring her with Spencer Tracy and John Garfield, Into an industrious citi zen. Tracy, as Pilon, warns Dan ny that girls are no good, saying. "They always want to get mar ried." But despite his warm friendship for Pilon, the charms of Dolores perform the incredi ble miracle, and Danny gets a Job!

In the outer room waited a handsome but rather effeminate young man and two slender, blonde girls, obviously models. Darnley dif fidently gave her name at the 'reception desk and asked to see (Mr. Wolfgang. i a "Are you Miss Carfax?" asked Ithe receptionist "You'd better rush right in. Where have you jbeen? The old i man's been isnatehing out hunks of nalr. i Darnley concealed her aston jishment as she passed through the door into the private office, ;a room whose walls were quite jcovered with photographs of jjirls who had passed through Wolfgang's hands to fameior no toriety. There were , girls who had taken this road to Holly wood, the Follies, to society marriages, to participation 1 in gangster murders, to success up on the dramatic stage. 1 It seemed that none of Wolf gang's protegees bogged down jinto placid, uneventful lives. To a scientist a sociologist, that jroom would have been a rich field for; the study of beauty to each of the scores of girls whose faces looked down upon you, jbeauty had done something sen sational. i Beauty had set ; them apart, had prevented, them from living jnormal, natural lives. Adrian De Groot, writing a column about Ithe room, had once referred to jit as Wolfgang's Poison Garden, and the name had clung. Wolfgang took a gloomy de light in it and In its -name. He Swould nod his Liszt-like mane. Pin dis room Iss a moo-aeum of beauty. Is there goot love, sin, chealousy, noble secriflce, devil's meanness, gold-digging, faifful ness all that Is fine und all that Is evfl. All from beauty comes, yah. Gott help und guide the girl mit beauty!" i Into this room Darnley step ped for the first time, not know ing that it was the ambition of every model In ; New York to have her photograph hung in that gallery. Behind a littered desk sat a little man with cherry cheeks and silver hair that con cealed his ears. He appraised her iwiffiy. j "A new one, he said softly. fComes to Papa Wolfgang,' iss it? What name?" , y "Darnley Carfax,; Mr. Wolf gang." , i . i "So-ool He drew out the word ominously. "The one who Says she works for Wolfgang wen she does not for Wolfgang work at alll Iss erustl Iss cheek! Were all the day haf you been, 1 thought Mr. Wolfgang, that - 99 if I came to' you with a job it might make it easier to get ' on your list" "You do this job. You say you are one . of Wolfgang's girls. If you do not say it, you get all the fee. If you -say it, then Wolfgang takes his commission. Wass-that so smart?" "I thought so, sid Darnley. Walfgang nodded three separ ate times. "Maybe," he murmur ed. "Maybe. We will see.' "I also posed for Mr. Orrick's Metropolis cover" said Darnley. "But that was just for fun and to find out" "Ah, that iss it I theenk I see you before." He pounded the desk suddenly! "You will not again pose for the figure. It iss nodt goot business. Do you hear?" "Yes, sir. "You vill in all ting be guide' by Wolfgang? "Yes,, sir." "Of course you vill not, You vfll make fools of yourself in your own way.f He stared at her gravelyv "In our face iss story," he said. "Iss it goo story; iss it bad stoi I do not see, Suddenly he pped at her, "Vere all day o you hide?" "I was an acquaintance to get some information.' "Yah. Veil, Ij got information. It iss me you f ask This Clyde Farrish he telephone, he bellow, he moan. He want right off for you to pose. You will go there queeckJ "Then you will accept me?" she asked. "Ve vill make fo try you out Yes." - n "And put me in your book? v "No. Nodt in the book, no. You do the pose, I do the theenk, Leaf your address at the desk. Also you will get a telephone." 1 "I must find a place to live, , Darnley told horn "I don't know how to go about it" ' "First you go do this chob," said Wolfgang. "Tomorrow In the morning you vill come here und then ve shall see. The girl at the desk told Darn ley how to reach Farrish's place of business, and . in 20 minutes she was ascending In the eleva tor to his floor. She was excited.
