GADGET WORKS SWELL
Pretty Blonde Invents Holder
To Ease Corn-on-Cob Eating
By BARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Aug. 30 (U.f!)Jean Rosendahl, a pretty blonde
It like the rest of us. She's had com trouble. The eating, on-the-cob
kind.
She kind of chuckled a few years back when a lany radio
comedian "invented" what he called the "typewriter method" of
eating corn. He imagined a gad-
get whereby you hooked a line
onto the cob and jiggered it
around with each row by pull
ing a lever. Just like you'd work
the line spacer on your type
writer. That set Jean to thinking.
Corn eating is a lot of fun, but
It also can be messy and a
cantankerous nuisance.
You knife a pat of butter
across the line and the first
thing you know you have more
melted butter on your steak and
" mashed potatoes than you do on
the corn.
Well, it so happened that Jean
Rosendahl is the wife of retired
Vice Admiral Charles E. Rosen
dahl. He wears the coveted navy
cross, which doesn't look like an
ear of corn. And he is probably
the world's leading authority on
dirigibles and blimps which
do look like ears of corn.
Jean saw so many dirigibles
and blimps in her lifetime with
her sailor man that she some
how got to wondering over how
much half a dirigible looked
like half an ear of corn.
Also how much trouble it is
to enjoy eating the latter.
So one day she sat down at a
drawing board and drew what
looked likej a cross between half
an ear of corn and half a diri
gible. She drew a couple of
curves at each end.
Then Jean went to a silver
smith and, at considerable ex
pense out of the family kittv.
had some models made. A sort
of silver shell to cradle the ear
of corn.
A little later she pitched a
party and invited a lot of the
admiral's friends, from cabin
boy on up. The main dish or
one of them was corn on the
cob.
The thing worked swell.
You take the shell, which ac
tually looks like an ear of corn
cut in half, longways, and put
melted butter and salt and pep
per in the bottom. You stick a
fork or one of those patented
sticks into each end and just
give the ear a whirl in the
"soup."
Admiral Rosendahl was so
surprised, according to wit
nesses, that he dropped his corn
into the silver holder and splat
tered butter all over the place.
Our lady promptly went to
the patent office in Washington
and her invention now is "pend
ing," as we in the patent busi
ness say.
Jean quickly realized, when
she looked into the silver mar
ket, that precious metals were
not for us common folks. So
now she is putting her "corn
oiler" out in china.
his favorite records. She always
is a wicked other woman, and,
Miss Carter warned, she always
loses out at the end.

HARD-TO-GET APPROACH
How to Win a Husband
All Told in Technicolor
By PATRICIA CLARY
(United Press Hollywood Correspondent)
Hollywood, Aug. 30 (U.R Movie queens who wail about the
man shortage in Hollywood just haven't been seeing their own
movies. The screen tells exactly how to hook a husband, all in
"glorious technicolor!"
And if any one of dozens of old maid actresses had followed
her script, a married glamour
gal pointed out today, she could
have snagged Jimmy Stewart.
Stewart fell for Gloria Mc
Lean, according to Stewart, because-
she was "charming, gay,
clever, beautiful, sensible, un
derstanding, warm and open."
Also she was hard to get.
If that isn't the movie wooing
technique, says Janis Carter,
who's caught dozens of men on
screen and bne off, then she
never read a script.
Girls in movies never bother
with the time-honored man bait
of apple pies or argyle socks.
(Neither did Stewart's bride; he
says she can't cook or sew.)
"But when a bachelor drops
by after the theater," Miss Car
ter said, "girls in movies serve
up snack of crepes suzette and
cafe brulot. And never go near
the kitchen. Marvelous!"
They take no helpful interest
fai his hobbies of collecting bot
tle tops or amateur china paint
ing. Sometimes they spend the
whole picture tearing down his
dearest dreams. Then they
whisk into his arms and, believe
It or not, he marries them.
That's the cinema approach to
being hard-to-get. Mrs. McLean
may well have done it different

self for two reels. Sometimes
they're gay and clever. More
likely they carry on a running

the man gets in are "I do."
"Well, he's not supposed to
know you're interested," Miss
Carter explained. "The main se
cret is not to try too hard."
