What is her birth sign? If she is
a Libra (September 23-October
22) you should keep in mind that
females born under that sign
have a way with men. Some of
them enjoy putting it to use in
a flirtatious way. She may try
to steal your husband. If your
next door neighbor is a Virgo
(August 23-September 22) she is
probably a good housekeeper
and an efficient handler of a
budget. Your husband may hold
her up to you as an example. If
she is a Gemini (May 21-June 20)
she is probably a wisecracker
with a good sense of humor. She
can cheer you up when you are

Am asked if there has ever
been a film version of the Bibli
cal tale of Joseph and his breth
ren. Many years ago there was a
silent film version made. I don't
remember who played Joseph
but Marguerite Snow plaved
Poitphar's wife. . . . Enrico Ca
ruso liked to eat, and conse
quently was troubled with a
bulging waistline. To reduce this
excess poundage Enrico originat
ed an exercise calling for throw
ing a handful of confetti on the
floor and then picking it up
piece by piece. Keep that in
mind, lady, if you have a hus
band whose waistline needs,

happily married to Guthrie Mc-
Clintic for 28 years. Katharine
once said: "One of the reasons
our marriage has been so suc

derstand Katharine and Guth

worked up and goes out of the
room slamming the door he can
go to his own floor instead of

New Reader
Now I have a reader in Sara

well strainers, whatever they
are. I am going to keep in touch
with him. Maybe he can tip me
off as to where I could buy a
bit of land where I might strike
oil. Just a little oil is all I want.
I wouldn't want to get too much
money out of it because then I
wouldn't have as much fun play

Says He
"As the organizaiton I work
for prefers its executives to be
married, I had no other alterna

writes a Chicagoan. "I delayed
matters as long as possible, as I
love liberty. When I decided to
marry I was able to approach the
situation in a practical way. I
looked around for a good, strong,
healthy girl with a talent for
housework and homemaking. I
disregarded the raving beauty
angle. The young woman I de
cided upon has proven a very
satisfatcory wife. She maintains

Correspondent
Hollywood, Mar. 11 (U.R)
John Ireland, who bought his
way out of a juicy studio con
tract, sat down
and figured it,
up today and
discovered his
freedom will
cost him $250,
000 by 1955.
The way Ire
land feels, it's
worth it, every
hundred thou
sand dollars of
it.
And if you're
guessing that
his parting
with Columbia Studios wasn t
exactly friendly, you're dead
right. Ireland was so peeved at
the boys out there he took his
battles to court.
A couple of weeks ago a judge
decided everybody'd be happier
if Ireland become temporarily
unemployed and cancelled the
contract.
But there's a kicker in the
deal. Ireland has to turn over
to his ex-bosses one-fourth of ev
ery penny he earns in the next
five years.
That's gonna be considerable.
Because Ireland, who snagged
himself an "Oscar" nomination
for his emoting in "All the
King's Men," is one of the hot
test actors in town right now.

"But what would I be if I
a well-ordered home for me. And
has given me two fine sons. Some
of my friends who married
glamour girl types for love are
not doing so well. I believe the
man who approaches matrimony
in the calm, calculating way I
did will fare much better in the
end than the fellow who mar
ries some raving beauty with
whom he thinks he is madly in
love."

FRESH AIR FOLLOWING ANESTHESIA
A virus, obtained from the
breathing apparatus of persons
afflicted with a disease common-
-.Jsqjwsn jv an(j loosely,!
referred to as
a "cold," has
reproduced the
disease when
sprayed into
the breathing
apparatus of
certain lower
animals. This
e x p e r i m ent
should leave
very little
doubt as to the
mechanism of
oi. Brady
contra cting
this disease. It
establishes the disease as contag
ious, by being transferred from
one person to another, through
the air. While, seemingly, hard
ly anybody questions the con
tagiousness of diphtheria or
scarlet fever, the public appar
ently resists the fact that a so
called "cold" is actually con
tageous. Nearly any one can recall,
once having acquired what he
diagnoses as a "cold," some ex
perience involving a change of
weather, or a draft, which pre
ceded the onset of the disease.
The fact that the moon came
over the mountain at about the
fame time, is ignored, although
everyday experience would serve
to indicate that the two occur
rences are of equal importance,

stayed at Columbia?" he argues.
"I'd get stuck in so many low
budget movies people would for
get all about me. You know
what I was making during 'All
the King's men'? A lousy $750!
That's all.
"And right after my nomina
tion they put me in a cheap B.
When I beefed their answer was
'Well, we don't make "All the
King's Men" every day.'
"They're right, sure. Nobody
does. But that's why I wanted
out. If I can free-lance I can
pick my own pictures."
Ireland wasn't happy at Col
umbia, anyhow, he says.
Suspension Drawn
"They suspended me one day
for not showing up. And I was
right on the lot all the time. I
was even on the set working. Of
course, I'll admit I didn't have
my heart in my performance,
shall we say? But I was there.
They finally told me to go on
home.
"They wanted to tell me how
to run my life, too. Sometimes
I'd get so mad I'd have to keep
out of everybody's way for a
while. Otherwise, I'd have
socked somebody in the nose."
Ireland says there's one bright
spot in working five years for
three-fourths of his paycheck.
"Columbia has to pay all the
taxes on that other 25 per cent,"
he grinned. "It'll go straight to
them. I won't ever see it."

or unimportance, insofar as res
piratory aisease is concerned.
Who ever heard of the butcher
being constantly plagued with
"colds" because he enters the
refrigerator countless times each
day? Who ever proved that a
"draft" of nice, crisp air ever did
anything to anybody except to
refresh them, or merely to annoy
them?
Were you ever Impelled by
curiosity to gather around with
the rest of the curious to see
what goes on in the middle of
the crowd? And did you ever
have the experience of having
a big policeman stand on your
feet and push you in the chest
along with the order to "stand
back and give 'im air?" The de
sire for "air" is instinctive with
most persons following any type
of injury. The miserable person
who has consumed a quantity of
alcoholic beverage too great for
him to "handle," instinctively
seeks the "air" the colder the
better.
A patient still under anesthe
sia following' the completion of
an operation, needs air. He is in
toxicated just as surely as is the
alcoholic but with a different,
but comparable, drug. The notion
that such a patient should be
shielded from the air is absurd.
Nevertheless, the old, morbid
and unscientific notion that fresh
air will cause a "draft" and
"chill" the patient, leads to the
practice in many institutions,
even in this enlightened day, of
shutting the patient's window, or
in other ways "shielding" him
from fresh air. The notion that
fresh air in the form of a draft
(there is no other way of getting
it) will cause the patient to de
velop "post-operative pneumo
nia" can not be supported by
scientific evidence. Nobody has
ever proved that fresh air ever
hurt anyone.
It is curious, to say the least,
that in high class hospitals the
ancient custom of depriving a
drugged, senseless patient from
...itv, fresh revivifying
stimulating air is still perpetuat
ed. Is the incidence ui '
nia, following surgery in the
open, near the battle field, where
the air blows freely and where
there are no windows to close,
higher than In the stuffy, stale
rooms of the hospital? The ans
wer is NO. A reasonable relative
or friend of a patient undergoing
surgery, is completely within the
brackets of intelligent conduct
when he demands fresh air, and
plenty of it at all times, for the
victim.

Champaign, 111. A Univer

has a two-step formula for get
ting rid of that tired feeling.
Furthermore, the system will
eliminate the spare tire around
your middle, according to T. K.
Cureton, physical education pro
fessor. Cureton developed the formu
la over the past 25 years which
he has spent "studying healthy
people while doctors have been
studying sick people." Here are
the rules.
1. Walk "rhythmically and
briskly" at least two miles every
day. (An alternative is to go
swimming for a half-hour at
least every other day).
2. Get a proper diet not too
much food, avoiding large quan
tities of fats and eating more
soy beans and green vegetables.
"That's the nub of It," Cure
ton said.
