This on top of his active participation with the Boy'» Clubs of America and other public organizations. And Seymour has no intention of being merely an honorary chairman and letting other people do the work. He’s busy as a beaver, lining up to peoples in all fields to a c t as his assistants; they’re accepting gladly. Bonita Granville plays the piano in Eagle-Lion's “ Guilty of Treason,” and actually plays! No off-stage double performs for her, as is us ually the case. Originally she In tended to be a concert pianist; ex perienced musicians say she easily could become one now if she would give up her motion career and buckle down to practising and studying. M ary Murphy has also hit the road to stardom—perhaps. U ntil recently she was wrapping parcels in a swank shop in Beverly Hills; she’d come to Hollywood from Cleveland in 1942. Now she has signed a long-term contract with Paramount.

When they reached home, Frieda pulled the pin out of her hat. “To morrow,” she announced, “is roast duck on the menu. Monday it gives sauerbraten; Tuesday, chicken with mandlen soup.” “ The widow makes a grade-A goulash," needled by uncle. "Let her m ake," said my aunt, “ and let her eat.” And that ended Charlie's life on the loose and Frieda's career as a clubwoman. As for the question: "Is love or lunch more important to the male animal?” —well, the leopard is dead and my uncle isn't talking. By Richard H. Wilkinson 'V E IN V E S T IG A T E D some queer cases but the jewel robbery up at R iver’s End Lodge topped them all. Tracy and I were dumb; we're ready to admit that, but, after all, we’re city cops not prim i tive wilderness natives. The reason we were called in w as because H o m e r Liver more’s wife had lost $50.000 worth of gems, and neither she nor Homer trusted or had faith in Eben Jackson, the local constable. Jackson met us at the station, and it wouldn’t take a sleuth to see he was sore at the Livermores. “ I ’ll show you what 1 al ready found out,” he told us briefly, “ then let you smarties dope out the rest.” He took us up to the lodge and showed where a ladder had been placed against the house. Then he allowed the thief had probably taken his loot and skun off in the woods to hide. Then Tracy had an idea. “ If we gotta browse around through the bushes we ought to have a native guide.” Eben recommended Bronco Pete, who, it seemed, was a guide who didn’t have enough money to buy a license for himself, hence was out of work. We explained our pre dicament to him and he shrugged indifferently. Then Tracy flashed a $20 bill and he changed his mind. He took the twenty, and a prom ise of two more after a week's work, and went away. He came back the next morning dressed up in new high-laced boots, riding breeches, a checked shirt and a big hat. He was mighty proud, and I He was mighty proud, and looked like the pictures you see of northwoods guides. looked like the pictures you see of northwoods guides. Well, sir, we started out. We trekked through the woods for a whole day. Then Bronco Pete led us to a deserted shack. Outside we found a set of fresh footprints, the heels of which were marked with a common Iron cleat. "Chances are,” said Eben, "if we find the owner of these here boot-marks we’ll have us the thief. I seen tracks like that around the lodge beneath the window.” Pete set off through the brush like a hound on the scent. Tracy and I followed wearily. Pete led us straight back to the lodge, and there, sure enough, were marked footprints beneath the bedroom window.

So Tracy and I bought ourselves some supplies, and moved into the shack. The third day, Eben dropped around to see how we were doing. We told him in no uncertain terms, and if he wanted to spell us for a day we’d split the reward. “ Mean it?” he said. “Sure we mean i t You lay your hands on the thief, you get $2500 cash.” “Come with m e.” he said.

Eben was suspicious because he knew you couldn’t buy a fancy cos tume like Pete had for less than $50.

Not only wohld it be less in teresting, but it also would cost subscribers considerably more. Advertising is commercial news. It is as valuable to readers as every other feature of a newspaper. It is so interesting, in fact, that there are papers in many cities devoted exclusively to advertising.

They are also tim ely cross- sections of the needs, interests, hopes and desires iif the people of this locality. In some communities there are those who apparently do not fully grasp the importance of the role advertising in the home town paper plays in their daily lives. There are merchants, for example, who seem ingly do not realize that failure to acquaint people with their goods and services handicaps both the store and its customers. Those who advertise in this or any other newspaper actually rent space in which to publish their own. generally commercial, news. The space is the property of the news paper. That has been confirmed by court decisions upholding newspa pers in their refusals to provide space for certain advertising uses. Space rented Source for advertising of is the principal Revenue source of rev enue to virtual ly all newspapers. Such revenue makes possible delivery of the pa per to subscribers for less than the actual cost of the blank paper in each copy. The use to which advertisers put the space they rent is of equal im portance to the community as a whole. Advertising is the lubricant that keeps the commercial machine of the community functioning at maximum efficency. Advertising in the home town newspaper is a sound investment, like buying a bond so a school can be built. The advertiser gets direct return in more business and good will, and the community benefits from the information. rstciäi DOWN 1 Resentment 2 Contain 3 A king who marries Gudrun (Norse m yth) 4 Fretful 5 Varying weight (Ind ) 6 Jewish month 7 Onslaughts 8 Courage 11 Foot covering 13 Close 15 Bark 19 Drinking cup Summer rains can be “soil rob bers” that cause serious erosion losses unless farm land Is protect ed by g o o d conservation safe guards, Ohio State University soils research men point out.

High intensity summer rains cause soil losses in two ways, the Ohio research men say. Large- sized drops strike the earth with such force they break the surface soil into small particles that quick ly fill all surface pores. This seals the soil surface into a hard crust that water cannot penetrate. Ex cessive runoff and erosion losses are the result. Also, high intensity rain beats down so fast that even unsealed earth cannot take it as rapidly as it comes. Thick stands of deep-rooted le gumes and grasses will provide a soil-protecting cover that will en able the land to take high intensity rains in stride. To produce dense, leafy stands, the legumes must be well fed. That means liming, where needed.
