There should be a statue of
Florence Lawrence somewhere
In Hollywood. The intersection
at Hollywood Boulevard and
Vine Street would be a nice
place for it. Why should Miss
Lawrence be so honored? She
was the first film star. Before
she was made a star by Carl
Laemmle in 1910 no actresses
were ever given screen credit.
Incidentally, the first producer
to pay a film star a salary as
high as a thousand dollars a
week was Joe Schneck. The star
he paid it to was Norma Tal

Am asked if I have any idea
as to what a "flying saucer" is?
I doubt there is such a thing.
Those who report having seen
such an object have probably
experienced an optical illusion.
Your attention is called to a re
cent statement of Prof. Ernest
Esclanglon: "None of the many
astronomers who sit nightly at
telescopes observing the skies
has ever reported seeing a fly
ing saucer."
Horses & Women
There are numerous feminine
celebrites who are living proof
that a woman -of 50 or more
can so rejuvenate her appear
ance that she appears from twen
ty to thirty years younger. Natur
ally the question constantly
arises among women in general,
how they do it. The research of
our Horses & Women experts re
veals it is accomplished in a
wide variety of ways. It is now
reported a Paris beauty expert
in three weeks can make a wom
an appear twenty years or more
younger. However, the treatment
calls for so much courage, pa
tience and endurance that few
women can stand it. Among oth
er things, it calls for wearing a
mask-like preparation, as hard
as concrete, for seven days.
Throughout the treatment much
pain is experienced. Still it is
said to pay off handsomely. At
the end of three weeks the fifty
ish female is, in appearance, 30
'years old again. All ready to
enjoy a second spring.
Passing By
Joe E. Lewis. Extremely
whimsical comedian. It is gen
erally believed Joe is a Chi
cagoan but he was born in New
York City. However, he began
his entertainment career in Chi
cago and still lives there. Joe
was at one time the vaudeville
partner of Johnny Black, the
fellow who wrote "Dardanella"
. . . Gene Kelly. Talented danc
ing actor. Mr. Kelly looks some
what different off the' screen
than on. He frankly says that
when acting he wears height
building shoes and a toupee.
However, he has no desire to
deceive the public when not pro
fessionally engaged.
Ot There
The British Association of Tall
Women now has over 2,000 mem
bers. Most are between 20 and
30. Also, they really are tall.
The average height is 5 feet, 11
inches in stockir feet. Object
of the organization is to get a
better break in hosiery, clothing,
hotel accommodations, etc., for
lengthy females. An interesting
aspect is that since the organiza
tion of this association it has

received many letters from men
asking for introductions to tall
women with matrimony as the1
object.
Briefly
Many men continue to fea
ture those fancy colored shirts
hanging outside the trousers.
That is the most ridiculous male
style since the days of pegtop
trousers and raccoon coats. . . .
Note it stated all the "great
drinkmg songs" refer to beer or
ale, such as "The Stein Song,"
"Brown October Ale" and
"Here's td Good Old Yale, Drink
Her Down." How about that
Wesleyan University song titled
"Drink a Highball at Nightfall"?
That's really a great drinking
song.
Peanut Experiment
Used by Navy To
Cut Dental Bill
Washington CUR) The Navy
is trying to cut its dental bill
with the aid of peanuts.
A research project has, com
bined the use of sailors and pea
nuts to show the chewing habits
of people who have partial or
complete dental efficiency.
If, the Navy says, its members
do not take advantage of im
proved dental work, why spend
the money?
The peanut-chewing experi
ment was revealed in a House
appropriations sub-committee
meeting inquiring into next
year's Navy medical funds.
Efficiency Sought
According to Capt. Charles W.
Schilling, chief of the Navy's
medical research division, the
Navy is spending considerable
money on complete or partial
dental restoration for the sake
of efficiency.
To find out if dental money is
being spent wisely, an experi
ment was run at Tufts College
and the Great Lakes naval train
ing station. Each sailor was giv
en one peanut and instructed to
chew it 20 times. That was fol
lowed by an examination of the
remaining peanut particles and
the chewing method.
The results showed that peo
ple chewed very much according
to their right or left handedness.
If a person had teeth mission on
one side, he would shift his
chewing to the opposite side and
do an efficient job of it.
Question Raised
While not solving the prob
lem, it did raise the question of
whether, in the interest of sav
ing money, making dental resto
ration was necessary for effi
ciency. A more fool-proof experiment
into this chewing problem has
been developed by naval scien
tists with electronic chewing
gum.
The gum is connected by wire
to a machine so that when a
sailor bites into it, the dentists
can read on a dial the kind of
work his teeth are doing.
Science at Work
New York i(U.R) Operation
Insect is going on in the Hickory
Head community of Georgia.
It is an operation that should
show definitely the value of
using an insecticide to control or
destroy pests that each year
take millions of dollars away
from farmers through crop loss.
Here is how "Operation In
sect" works: First, there are 101
farms in the community and all
the farmers are co-operating.
The community has been
"roped" off from the rest of the
world.
First Phase Finished
The first phase of the opera
tion consisted of farmers clean
ing the debris from corn cribs,
fumigating old corn and spray
ing bins with insecticides to kill
weevils and prevent or slow
down field infestation. It was
done after the farmers had a
mass meeting with federal farm
specialists and were "briefed"
on the operation.
The second phase will be at
harvest time, when the corn
from approximately 4,500 acres
in the community will be treat
ed with a powdered insecticide,
known as pyrenone grain protec
torant. The treatment is to keep
the insects out of the ' corn in
storage. The farmers and fed
eral experts hope to know by
December how the project is
working out.
May Show Results Early
The results of the operation
should be determined quickly.

tion of their corn with the un
treated corn in cribs on farms
surrounding the sanitized and
treated area.
The operation was planned
originally during a meeting of
the "First Southern Corn Con
ference on Insects and Diseases"
last November. At that time, the
loss of corn to insect damage
was reported and it was said
that in many states as much as
25 per cent of the corn crop was
lost every year to weevils;.
The farmers decided to do
something about it. They pick

a testing ground. If the opera
tion is successful, similar tests
are expected to be made in other
parts of the country.

GRIME DESTROYER OF CLOTHES
Grime comes from two major sources. It's either dirt from the
atmosphere which gets pressed or rubbed into the garment. Or it's
perspiration or skin oils, again pressed or rubbed into the garment. Or
both usually both, in fact.
There is, naturally, no preventive remedy. The atmosphere is
never wholly clean. And we do perspire, and our skin exude oils.
That's the human being for you, and that's all that can be said.
However, there is a treatment.- And this is it.
NEVER PRESS ANY GARMENT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN CLEANED.
Pressing or rubbing imbeds the grime more deeply, and causes it to
penetrate the fibers of the fabric. The result is that the fabric in the
garment will deteriorate more rapidly.
We therefore recommend that, in addition to being" sure the
garment is clean before it's pressed you CLEAN YOUR CLOTHES
OFTEN. It has been demonstrated time and again by every test
known, that a garment which is regularly cleaned outwears one that
isn't, by a wide margin.
There's another kind of "griminess." That's graying. This is
due either to incomplete washing or cleaning, and is especially true of
white garments. "White" garments are not, of course, naturally white.
They're made that way through bleaching and unless rebleached fre
quently during "wet" and "dry" cleaning will have a tendency to
return to their original grayish cast. Cleanable clothes can be kept
from graying, whatever their color, by proper cleaning with fresh and
potent solvents. ,
And, remember moths are more active during the Summer. Let
us moth-proof your winter clothes while we clean them. '
