Infested closets should have everything removed from them. Hang all clothing outside in sun and breeze and brush thoroughly. All pieces should be cleaned or laundered. Remove shelves and drawers In the closet itself, and scrub them all out with soap and water. Any loose fixtures should be removed and cleaned thoroughly, since these, too, may harbor moths. Baseboards as well as cracks In the floors and walls should be thoroughly scrubbed. Once the closet is thoroughly cleaned, you may seal the cracks with putty, plaster patching or a sprayed plastic so they will not be able to harbor moths or larvae. The next step is to place a pound or two of naphthlene flakes in the closet, close the door and seal it with a gumed tape. Keep the closet closed for at least two days. All clothing put back in the closet should be scrupulously clean or you will have infestation in spite of these precautions. Plan to check for further infestation at intervals so you can get at the moths before damage is beyond control.

How do we do it? We think we know whats the matter with the movies, We are Mary Cuttery. and her letter friends, neighbors we our do own goes on, work, our own washing, we share the care of 38 children, the oldest not yet 12. Isnt that a pretty good record? And we love the movies. We dont play bridge, we cant afford night clubs, but theres nothing that carries one through a hard long day quite as well as the thought of a good picture in the evening, with a drugstore soda to follow. But, equally, nothing is so tiring as a poor movie unless its two poor movies, and weve been burned pretty often of late. We sit through bad pictures, through sheer weariness and laziness but their memory makes us . a little more wary next time. Now, Ill tell you what weve decided is wrong. Its the girls. Those eternal new stars and starlets and finds and discoveries with their gromed hair that no storm or shipwreck musses, their perfect frocks, their eyelashes, their plaster-imag- e beauty. Cant we get some natural, human-lookin- g girls who can really act, onto the screen? Dont Have to Act With this letter, Mary, I entirely agree.

I am an enthusiastic movie lover, but there is not one woman star whose name can lure me away from my comfortable study at night. One or two of the older ones, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, perhaps, are occasionally given plays ' worth seeing, but even they need more and more the prop of a variegated and famous group of males to carry the picture. On the other hand, there are 20 or 30 male stars whose fans never miss a picture. Few of these are conspicious for beauty. To list Robinson, Rains, Pidgeon, Coleman, Tracy, Mason, Cooper, Niven, Don-levOlivier, Laughton, is not to catalog men conspicious for good looks. Twenty more fine character actors, usually seen in supporting roles, would include some noticeably homely men. But these men are actors. They feel what they play; they live it. I have seen the giddy Dan Dailey do an exquisite bit of serious acting, and will go on record that Victor Mature, who had to endure an inordinate amount of hilarious publicity when he first entered the lists, is to become a really y, great star. There Is a Reason When pictures with only a very subordinated feminine interest score heavily at the box office, does it not occur to producers that there is a reason? In this category would be most of last years successes: All the Kings Men, Command DeciThe Fallen sion, Champion, AThe Red River, Idol, Hasty Sword In Heart, Battleground, the D e s e r t, The Window, To The Sea, Down Sundowners, and, of course, Bicycle Thief, many more whose names I cant recall. There were parts for women in a few of these, but they were comparatively unimportant, and the women themselves were comparatively unknown and unspoiled. In one costly picture some years ago a famous woman star played the part of a peasant girl who had been brutally by soldiers, her head shaved, her clothing in rags, and her poor mind shaken by the horrors of war. The great star wore, in this picture, a most becoming crop of short curls, and a smart little sweater-skir- t outfit that come have might straight from In another really Firth Avenue. magnificent picture, enhanced by her own fine dancing, the woman star attached to her head a distracting mop of heavy hair.
