"In both major leagues the boys who bat out the commercials were in there trying at all times and they rarely failed to come through in the pinches. The game, it seems to me, is much faster than it used to be. When I was a boy, a game would go on all afternoon with no reference to a cigar, a lubricant or a drink.

That figure is reached by pro jecting results of tests conducted at Iowa state college, in which flocks living In insulated dwellings required 15 per cent less feed. The protected flocks laid more eggs, and fatalities were fewer. Benefits from insulation extend to all farm animals.

Known as Zonolite ver miculite, it is completely inorganic, unburnable, and easily used as a lightweight plaster or concrete ag gregate, or as insulating fill. Zono lite. a mineral of the mica family, weighs only about one-sixteenth as much as sand. Perhaps its most important bene fit is that it keeps the farm build Richard H.

Fiction ★ HELPLE5Î ANNE * , , , Corner By INEZ GERHARD ROWN-HAIRED, blue-eyed Mar ta Toren was discovered by a film writer at the Royal Dramatic Academy in Stockholm, where Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman also studied. The writer tested her, and as soon as Universal-Interna tional executives saw the test they signed her. “Sword in the Desert,” her fourth picture, in which she ap- B MARTA TOREN pears with Dana Andrews an4 Stephen McNally, makes her a full fledged star. She studied ballet till she was 13, wanted to become an actress when she finished high school, but her father pursuaded her to become a secretary instead. Three years of that, then she broke away, and dramatic school came next. "Sword in the Desert” is the first Hollywood film to deal with the smuggling of settlers past the British blockade in Palestine. Full of action, it moves rapidly, gives film-goers plenty of excitement for their money. "Cavalcade of America,” back on the air Monday nights on NBC, will once again have top stars in top vehicles. It not only brings the stories ot great personages to its mikes, but also those of little known peo ple who have contributed sig nificantly to the American way of life. Such stars as Irene Dunne, Raymond M a s s e y , Charles Boyer and Dorothy McGuire appear on it. Lloyd BrMges says you can’t overestimate what luck does for a movie career. "It took me 12 solid years of struggling in Hollywood before I got my first decent break in 'Home of the Brave.' Then Eagle-Lion gave me the lead in Trapped.' Since it was finished I’ve been offered dozens of other breaks.” Modest Mr. Bridges says nothing about what his talent has contributed HROUGH the opening in the T trees above the woods road Langford could see the dull glow against the sky. It was growing brighter by the minute, and now the smell of smoke was strong. In his ears there was the distant and omi n o u s roar of crack ling flames. He stumbled forward, his breath a sobbing gasp in his throat, his face white and drawn from the strain of running. It seemed that he had run a thous and miles, though he knew it was not more than eight. Eight at the most. That meant there were still three to go before he reached the river. Then he’d have to swim across and make another mile up the slope to his cabin. By then it might be too late. By then the fire might have swept down on the little log structure and destroyed it, and what it contained. Anne and little Bobby. He closed his eyes to shut out the picture. After a while he stood up and went on. The glow against the sky was brighter, bright red and orange and yellow. Against it he could see billowing smoke clouds and occasional showers ot sparks. That meant the flames had reached the ridge behind the cabin. In another moment they would be sweep ing down the slope toward his clearing. His spirits sank. He choked as the smoke grew thicker and the air suffocating. Above him he heard the wail of a rising wind, and above the wind there was the increasing roar of the fire. Anne wouldn’t understand until it was too late. It couldn’t be much more than a mile, he told himself. He called on his last ounce of energy and fought ahead. Suddenly a wild hope beat in his heart. He looked up and there at his very feet was water. The river! He had come faster than he thought. But abruptly the hope died. Looking across he stared into a solid sheet of flame and smoke belching sparks. The entire slope of the hill, which was between the river and his cabin, was afire. Groaning, he sank to his knees. Before him the river hissed and steamed as flying fragments fell into it. Its black depths mirrored the licking tongues of flame with terrible beauty. Watching with horrible fascina tion, Langford’s heart suddenly gave a bound. He leaped to his feet and plunged into the water, shouting. Fifty feet from shore a dark silhouette had come into the path of orange reflection, wabbling crazily but moving steadily toward the shore. Atop it, was a huddled bundle of something, that moved and propelled the silhouette for ward with awkward, clumsy strokes. T ANGFORD WADED in to his arm- " pits and then started to swim. He called again and a voice an swered him, telling him to go back. But he didn’t. A. .’ presently the silhouette ranged alongside and Anne’s frightened eyes were look ing into his own. “Bobby?” he gasped. "He’s here, under the blankets. And I saved the hens too, and a lot of our personal things.” Langford helped push the im ROSSWDHD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Circlet of metal 5. Plausibly fluent 9. Melody 10. Assistant (Mil. or Nav.) 11.
