A parrot peels her down to the limits prescribed by law. It's a technique that'd work wonders Jor battered box of fices, too, to hear Miss Dare tell it. All these covered-up heroines are driving away the gents who work nights. The boys have time on their hands in the mornings," Yvette says. "They eo for the quick fade-outs with screen sirens step ping into showers or dropping shoulder straps. "Nowadays the girls keep too many clothes on. Patting Up Movies "All the night watchmen, sales men, restaurant workers, and night-shift laborers are passing up the movies for pool rooms, penny arcades, and live girl shows." Miss Dare wants it understood right here that she's not really a strip-teaser herself. The way her parrot flies off with her cos tume veil by veil she says, is 'art." And she thinks Hollywood could get away with the same thing with a little practice. "Katherine Hepburn almost did it in 'Adam's Rib'," she said. "She wrapped herself in a towel and then whirled around. I saw the movie one morning and the theater was packed with men. Word Gets Around Word gets around about a thing like that, Yvette said. Why is "Samson and Delilah" smash ing records? Because of Hedy Lamar-'s biblical scantics, she said. Yvette says the big day of all will be the day Greta Garbo does a little subtle peeling for the camera.

"Laboratory and pilot plant in vestigations indicate a promis ing possibility of production of still higher quality fuels than is possible with plant-scale equip ment now available," he said. The oil-shale deposits which are found in the Green river beds of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming are believed to date back to the last ice age, but just now are being tapped on an ex perimental scale. The scientists have not yet determined just which method of distilling or synthetic manufacture is the most practical, but experiment al pilot plants have been set up, Mull said. Interest Revived In a 1,000 square-mile area, Mull estimated that at least 494,000,000.000 gallons of oil may be retrieved once the op eration is full time and when the oil is needed bv this country. Because of the oil shortage I during the last war, interest was ! revived in the oil shale deposits and after two years of cxperi mentrtion "no insurmountable ! problems have developed," Mull I said.
