ORDINARY EVERYDAY INTERESTS
Tough Guys of Screen
Quiet-Mannered in Real Life
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood U.H The tough guys of the screen are mostly quiet
mannered human beings with ordinary everyday interests who
never punch their wives or neighbors in the nose.
With a few exceptions, they don't confuse a night club with a
boxing ring. They are seldom approached by blondes in dis
tress, and consequently don't un-3
cover vast underworld rings.
They don't even utter mono
syllabic underworld slang.
He-man Clark Gable almost
retires between his pictures. He
buries himself at his Enclno
ranch and hammers away in his
self-made carpenter shop. Some
times he goes off by himself or
with old pala to hunt or fish,
Another he-man, John Car
roll, also lives on a San Fernan
do valley ranch, where he raises
horses as a hobby.
When he isn't bruising his fists
against a movie heroine's face,
he's gently brushing one of his
horses. Or maybe repairing the
corral fence, painting the stable
or fixing a broken plow.
Carroll, incidentally, is known
for his neighborliness. His pool
and tennis court are always open
for friends.
Humphrey Bogart spends his
time away from the studio sail
ing on his small boat or home
with a good book. Alan Ladd,
a happy husband and father,
raises horses at his ranch home.
Spencer Tracy and his wife share
the work of maintaining an In
stitute for deaf children.
Kirk Douglas, the boxer of
"Champion," works out two
hours a day at an athletic club.
Outside the club, however, he
never throws punches at any
body. Many of the movie tough guys
also warble lullabies or play the
violin when nobody's listening,
John Carroll, for instance, has
a fine voice for opera and popu
lar songs and sometimes when
he thinks he's alone refreshes an
old skill for playing the organ.
- Oysters are edible at any time
they are gathered, but the idea
they should be eaten only in
months which have a letter "r"
in their name probably goes
back to medieval times.
NOT A MAN TO ARGUE WITH
The Colonel's Honest
About His Fishing Exploits
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Sept. 29 (U.R) The colonel is one of the few honest
fishermen in the world.
He Just got back from a rod and reel deal at Nags Head, N. C,
and claims he caught:
Two croakers about this long. And two small-mouth black
bass.
But, knowing the colonel well
I knew he couldn't come back
from any adventure without
somewhat of a whopper to tell.
He didn't disappoint me. More
of the whopper business later.
First, we's better tell you a
little about the colonel.
He's Col. Warren Hardenbergh,
who was in three armies (none
of them American) and draws
his pension from the American
navy. The "Colonel" is B7 years
old and has been a fixture
around Washington for many
years. He is a little stooped now
but he still has fire in his eye
and will fight at the drop of
somebody else s cane.
He served in the Brazilian
army, where he got his rank
Then he was in the Colombian
army and the Chilean army.
He was bearing arms for the
Brazilians when the Spanish
American war broke out. He
hurried home, volunteered in
the U. S. navy and became i
chief gunner's mate.
"I should have had a com
mission," the old man always
snorts. "But I took my lumps.
The old boy still takes his
lumps.
Not long ago a man much
younger than he made the mis
take of taking a side-swipe at
the colonel and found himself
picking up a couple of teeth off
the sidewalk. Actually you can
look it up on the police blotter.
Another time, within the last
year, a porter talked a little
sassy to the colonel s dog and
lived to wish he hadn t.
The old soldier's three prize
possessions (besides his wife,
Frances) are his dog, his lighter
and his watch. His dog Is chip
per except when somebody slips
her a chicken bone. His lighter
works every time (he'll bet you
a nickel on it) and the watch is
never a second off. He says.
But to get back to the whop
per.
The colonel and his Missus
went off to Nags Head for a
little vacation. The fishing, both
concluded, was lousy, so they
were sitting beside a stream one
day when Frances saw some
thing bobbing a head above the
water.
"That looks like a snake," she
said.
"Who's afraid of snakes," ask
ed the old man.
He watched the "something'

coming down the bankside. It
kept bobbing and weaving.
The soldier-sailor, who in war
and peace had done the same
thing many a time whipped out
his weapon. This time it was his
cane.
As the snake it WAS a snake
came along, he cocked his
right arm and let fly with the
business end.
Pretty soon a poisonous water
moccasin, dirty brown in color,
came to the surface dead. The
old man still had his aim.
That night at the dance in
the little ballroom in the hotel
at Nags Head, Col. Hardenbergh
was the toast of the evening.
"The snake killer," they call
ed him.
Later the same evening, the
the whip-end of the big hurri
cane hit Nags Head. Who was
in charge to keep the women and
children quiet, with the voice
of authority?
"Shut up," commanded the
colonel.
Everybody did. Nobody got
hurt.

Nationwide Strike '
For Extra Fireman
Washington, Sept. 29 Wl A
nationwide strike of railway
firemen and enginemen is
planned for next month to pro

"We will do It," he said, "to
assure a proper measure of safe
ty for our members and the
public."

SMELLS ALL DAY LONG
Johnny's Nose Needs to
Work So He Can Work
San Pedro, Cal. U.n Johnny Bumanglag isn't worried about
his Job as long as he can- keep his nose in tip-top shape.
It doesn't take an expert to tell when the canneries are work
ing in this harbor town. But persons with sensitive noses are
needed to pick bad from good fish and prevent canning of spoiled
fish.
That's Johnny's job. He's a
fish smeller, one of a handful
employed here. Although sci
ence has developed mechanical
processes to detect fish spoilage,
there's nothing as quick and
sure as a sensitive nose.
The fish pass by Bumanglag
on a conveyor belt. He pulls a
small section from the stomach
of each fish, whiffs it and passes
judgment. If it a okay, he lets
the fish continue to the cooking
room. But if he detects any
thing amiss, the fish it yanked
from the conveyor and tossed
into a pile to be converted into
meal.

T.. MAKES EVERY MIAl
tt A PICNIC!
Johnny figures he smells 35
to 50 tons of fish a day, working
from 14 to 18 hours at a stretch.
Averaging 24 fish a minute, he
can sniff 23,400 fish In a 19
hour period.
The job has two sever oc
cupational hazards.
First, smellers are plagued by
neck muscles which ach from
tha constant Intake of air, aver
aging one smell every 2 '4 seo
onds. More dreaded I the com
mon cold. "Sniffles," explain
Bumanglag, "ar only a minor
hazard to men in other fields of
endeavor. But think what thjr
do to us."
