ROBERT BURNS. A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil. Grover Cleveland. By VIRGINIA VALE Released by Western Newspaper Union. THE first day of ON for "Mrs. Miniver" Greer Garson was knocked down in a street scene by a boy on a bicycle. On the first day for "Madame Curie" she was knocked down by a cam-era perambulator. "Maybe it's a good omen," said she. "But I hope I never start a picture in a scene with a locomotive!" Nobody was surprised when "Mrs. Miniver' got the Academy Award for the best picture of 1942; it was especially good news to Major William Wyler, who directed he recently directed the filming of the bombing of the German naval base at Wilhelms-haven- . Nan Wynn, the popular radio, night club and motion picture singer, has been placed under long-ter-contract by Columbia, and will i- - NAN WYNN get a star build-up- . She's already been given the top role in the new musical, "Rhapsody in A Flat." An actual attack by British Coast-al Command planes on Nazi raiders in northern waters is shown in "Coastal Command," the factual film released by HKO. It was made by the producers of "Target for To-night," the British navy If you think you're busy, consider Anna Lee, one of the many stars of "Forever and a Day." While work-ing in "Commandos Strike at Dawn" she turned up at the RKO studios at 10 every night and worked till past midnight in "Forever and a Day" also managed her house and family. The , only stipulation she made was that after finishing her day's work she must have time off to put her two babies to bed before starting her swing shift at RKO. Robert Haymes also got a Colum-bia break. With time for'' only one more film before being inducted into the army, he was removed from the lead of "Doughboys in Ireland" and replaced by Kenny Baker and assigned to the romantic lead in "Two Senoritas From Chicago," the two senoritas being those two very lovely ladies, Jinx Falkenburg and Joan Davis! That Charles Boyer production, s'o badly titled "Flesh and Fantasy," has a new and better title, "For All We Know." Robert Cummings and Betty Field have been given the romantic leads in the fourth and final sequence. New Yorkers have learned that the place to be caught during a blackout is a radio studio instead of turning their guests loose to wait in the corridors, the stars turn to and put on a show. Burns and Allen, the "Duffy's Tavern" folks and the members of "The Aldrich Family" can all give a superb extemporane-ous show when the sirens scream. A stranger in Culver City might think that Leo the Lion has turned prize fight promoter. Five big name boxers are working there. Freddy Steele, kingpin, has been coaching Richard Carlson for "The Man Down Under"; Maxie Rosenbloom's working in "Right About Face," as are Lou Nova and Jack Roper; Johnny Indrissanb, former lightweight threat, now a ref-eree, is technical adviser. So far Jean Gabin's American pic-tures haven't been up to the stand-ard of the French ones that made him famous. But it looks as if he might remedy that situation this summer; he's obtained his release from 20th Century-Fo- and will be starred by RKO in a picture to be written and produced by Dudley Nichols, and directed by Jean Re-noir, which looks like a perfect com-bination.

Then one man ex-claimed: "Why it's Gracie Allen!" Billy Leach, Guy Lombardo's new singer on "Three-Rin- g Time," was only 20 years old when he taught English in a Pittsburgh high school. But from the first he knew that teaching wasn't for him he never "uld flunk a pretty girl! Temperamental Foxes Silver foxes are extremely deli-cate and temperamental animals, says Collier's. On Canadian farms where they are bred for their fur, their diets are worked out to the point where, for example, a fox is fed exactly 533 calo-ries a day. Visitors are usually excluded because the animals are so easily disturbed that even the sight of a strange face may irri-tate them sufficiently to affect their skin. Ipb&king til Released by Western Newspaper Union. A LTHOUGH every big-tim- e sport has suffered from necessary wartime restrictions, golf has taken some of the hardest whacks of all. Occasionally a tew paragraphs concerning golf creep into the sports pages. They usually deal with some n player whose induction into the service merits a short story. Or perhaps a champion is playing a modest benefit match, in some of the pari country. Major tournaments are out. Even the PGA decided against its show for this year. The North and Soutb tournament at Pinehurst will b played, but entrance requirements are on a unique basis. If a playei is under 38 he can't play unless he is in uniform, on leave. For tht first time an adult championship has an age limit excluding the sen-ior matches. Most of the golf pros are rathei young, and few have children. The circuit tours mean a roving exis-tence and the boys usually wait un-til they've grown older and made their stake before starting a family life. The Civilian Game Big time golf is out until the war's end. And civilian golf is confronted with problems which are going to be difficult and, in some cases, im-possible to solve. Fairways are not easy to maintain, and help is difficult to get. Civilian golf likely will run to week-en- d play. It probably won't be unusual to see John H. Duffer help keep the course in playable shape. Some pri-vate clubs have organized worker-membe- r committees. It is entirely possible that these committees will be successful in many localities particularly smaller towns and pit-ies. Golf took a terrific boom after the last war. Most of the great stars came to the front including Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen. Golf's win-ter tours were in-augurated and be-came an important part of the game. Those days saw the game's most op-ulent period. There was nothing unusu- - al about a $5,000 Bobby Jones tournament. Big ones paid from $10,-00- 0 to $15,000. Yet the greatest of them all the National Open paid only $1,000 to the winner. As an indication of the times, Walter Ha-ge- n signed as pro at St. Petersburg for $30,000 for the winter season a record price. Country Clubs The situation wasn't too healthy. Golf clubs were transformed into elaborate country clubs. They were more like night clubs with gymnas-tic facilities available upon request. Every locker held its quota of liq-uid refreshments. Club officials were in an expansive frame of mind. The depression changed the pic-ture. Almost all clubs were forced to retrench some of them closed. Players didn't have the money to spend and golfing costs became more moderate. The end of this war won't see an-other era of gaudihess. Today's players represent a truer cross sec-tion of the public as a whole. More and more workers are playing the game, and they aren't going to give it back to the playboys. Such a situation augurs well for the game. With such a huge in-vestment in the sport, it would be worse than folly to allow its appeal to be narrowed. Two USGA officials George Blossom, president, and Joe Dey, secretary have compiled some amazing figures for your in-spection. Their figures show that a known total of 2,351,000 play the game on 5,209 golf courses comprising more than a n acres. It has been estimated that the clubs used more uian ouu.uvu vuim.o. The wages paid to caddies ran more than $30,000,000 a year. These figures haven't included the amounts paid to thousands of professionals, greens keepers and other workers needed by each course. Statistics tell only part of the sto-ry. Golf has a big advantage over any other sport. It provides exer-cise for player and spectator alike. The average spectator following a big match gets fully as much exer-cise as the player. His e hike definitely is good tor the muscles. And the gate re-ceipts of the major tournaments help boost golf as big business in any man's language. When war was declared in De-cember of, 1941 the investment in golf was estimated at $726,000,000. This includes land, courses, club-houses, etc., and is only a part of the total outlay which runs far more than a billion dollars. Despite the huge investment, golf is no longer only a rich man's game. i.. KaoQ,,co it is a ffame for 11 IS UUIJ w" the masses that so much money has been spent on courses. Golf has lifesaver for thousands of been a men and women who need exer-cise and relief from business com-plications and worries. Workers who spend most of their office building or a lives within an store or factory need the fresh air, sunshine and exercise provided by golf That's one of the reasons why golf' has an important place in the sports sun. Neither is golf an old man s game --but it does provide ideal recrea-tion and exercise for the average individual whose sports program cannot be too strenuous Phys.cal emphasized as a pa-triotic fitness is being necessity. Mr and Mrs America will do well to look to golf as an unbeatable conditioner. 1753-- I I 1 f Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1752-- is de- - signed for sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 S ts.rX'' I "w and 4- Size 36, with sleeve, requires 4 yards 39"inch material" t y '. i; i ;7'"t5 Send your order to: SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN DEPT.

I Advertisement He Ate His Own Words, But Cooked Them First "It isn't what you eat it's how you cook it!" That was the conten-tion of Grimod de la Reyniere, the famous French gourmet who died in 1838, and to prove it he once literally ate his own words. He took a copy of his own book, "A Manual of Gastronomy," cooked it, and ate it! He suffered no ill effects. Nearly 300 years ago, Theodore Reinking wrote a book which King Christian IV of Denmark held to be too democratic. The unfortu-nate author was eventually sen-tenced either to eat his own book or be executed. He chose to tear up his book and put the scraps in soup, which he ate! Fountain of Mercury The Mercury fountain, exhibited at the Paris Exposition in 1937, spouted mercury, the liquid metal, instead of water. Incidentally, this display had to be heavily guarded because the 34 gallons of mercury required to operate it cost $17,750. i The Hope of Death Kept Spark of Life in Recruit The army medico was making his cheerful rounds of sick bay on the huge transport that had been working for several days through the long, oily swells of a rough sea. One case was nothing more (or less, depending upon the indi-vidual point of view) than an attack of seasickness. "Well, Private Jenks," boomed the doctor heartily, "it looks to me like you're not going to die aft-er all." Private Jenks opened a horrified eye, to stare at the doc. "Not going to die!" he wailed. "Gosh, doctor, I thought I was. That was the only thing that kept me alive." Pour strained honey over cut grapefruit and fill in the spot where the core was removed, then broil until lightly browned. Deli-cious for breakfast, luncheon, or as a dinner dessert. When boiling eggs, wet the shells thoroughly in cold water be-fore dropping in boiling water and they will not crack. Fruit beverages and beef tea, though not especially nourishing, are useful stimulants of jaded ap-petites. Olive oil and black ink, equal parts, will restore suede shoes and slippers and remove rustiness. The tiny screws in eye glasses may be tightened with a cuticle knife. A fish bone may sometimes be removed from the throat by suck-ing a lemon. Comfortable shoes with ordinarv heels have been found easier to wear in the kitchen than high-heele- d dress shoes, and better for the feet. d china needs spe-cial care if the beauty of the gold is to be preserved. Wash the plates in water less hot than for ordinary dishes and always use a mild soap. Do not rub at gold trim more than is absolutely nec-essary. Rinse well and drain on rubber-covere- d rack or on towels. This will prevent chipping of d edges. Stippling a floor isn't hard to do if you are your own decorator. Use a sponge with a flat surface and when your ground color is dry, take a piece of board and paint on it the stippling color. Then, press the sponge on the stippling color and then on floor. In this way you transfer the pat-tern of the sponge from the board to the floor. Tests for Youth To prove and improve the power of mind, to win an appreciation of beauty, to give the spiritual side a chance to expand these are tests which youth owes to itself.

His Turn Next Al the end of the third round the heavyweight boxer staggered to his cor-ner in a dazed and battered condition. His manager approached the fishier and said sweetly: "Here, Butch, I've got a great idea! Next time 'e 'its you, 'it 'irn back!" Reason Aplenty "There's no need for you to shout," said the dentist. "I haven't touched your tooth yet." "No," said the patient, "but you're standing on my corn." White lies aren't so good now-adays. The really artistic ones are in technicolor. The Problem "Breathe deeply. Germs are killed by deep breathing." "But how are you going to teach the germs to do it?" That's the Question "Shall we live with your par-ents?" "Can we live without them?" "He'll never make a soldier," exclaimed the sergeant of the knock-knee- d recruit. "When his legs above his knees stand at at-tention, below they stand at ease." |
