The eryptojtegla vine yields about 17 drops of rubber latex a day, a seven-year-ol- d Hevea tree three to tlx pounds of rubber a year. Properly treated Hevea trees, when 10 years old, can give from 1000 to 1500 pounds of rubber per acre per year. About eleven pounds of rubber are used In making a small automobile tire. Lay rubber articles flat when storing, allowing them to as-sume their natural position. Rubber loses its life when una dor a permanent strain.

"The Constant Nymph"; he marries Brenda Marshall. But he found it hard to get out of character. "When I reached Into my pocket for the ring, to marry Brenda," said he, "I whipped it out like it wai my customary gun and almost tried to shoot her with it!" Very young men who rebel at hav-ing to trudge along behind lawn mowers these summer days ought to know Paul Whiteman's story. As a youngster he so hated to prac-tice on his violin that he smashed a $60 instrument against the music PAUL WIIITEMAN stand. His father made him mow the lawn, at 25 cents a session, till he'd paid for the fiddle. After that his parents gave in and decided that maybe he wasn't cut out for a musical career and he took up the violin in earnest! . Charles Coburn, who long ago es-tablished himself as one of the bet-ter actors of the legitimate stage, arrived in New York recently to find a different kind of fame await-ing him; three of his pictures were running at once "The More the Merrier," "The Constant Nymph" and "Heaven Can Walt." While directing "This Is the Army" Mike Curtlz also Invented new military commands. During a location trip to Fort MacArthur some of the Fort's soldiers were within his camera range for a shot. He grabbed the microphone and yelled, "You men back there by the house! Attention! Take a powder!" When John Warburton decided to return to pictures after an absence of six years, the studios Just weren't interested. Then he was tested and signed for the featured role of Gary Cooper's rival in "Saratoga Trunk," end immediately offers began to pour in; two studios wanted him "right away." Warren William, back at work in "Passage "to Suez," after months of illness, has the farm labor shortage to thank for his present excellent physical condition. When he was re-leased from the hospital doctors pre-scribed exercise. Warren had half a dozen acres ot unpicked oranges and could not get help. So he pitched 'in, with the result that he now has his health back, and also had one hundred crates of oranges to send to market ir; Pretty soon those Ameche broth-ers won't know which career Is whose. Don was established on the screen when his younger brother, Jim, tackled radio, using an as-sumed name till he'd made good, then switching back to his own. Now he's master of ceremonies of "Here's to Romance," and Don's to begin an air-seri- in the fall also as master of ceremonies. Meanwhile there's a prospect that Jim may turn actor if he can find a suitable play. Samuel Goldwyn, who's famous for among other things turning beautiful girls into screen stars, is trying something different with Con-stance Dowling; he's going to let the public discover her. You'll see her in "Up in Arms," with Dinah Shore and Danny Kaye. That's an amusing new program, Arlene Francis' "Blind Date"; six boys in uniform, one by one, talk-ing themselves Into the good graces of three girls, whom they can't see; curtains on the stage separate them, but the audience sees all. Three lads win their girls and an evening at a famous night club. ODDS AXD EXUS-- As no doubt you've heard by now, James Stewart (the movies' Jimmiej has been promot-ed, and is now a captain . . .

KTj JJ' DftJEW PEARSON MiVt T mim m m lit xm'ttn 1 Washington, D. C. ASSIGNMENT IN SICILY Unsung U. S. heroes who contrib-uted heavily to Mussolini's down-fall were Italian-America- n boys smuggled Into Sicily several weeks before U. S. troops landed. How they got ashore must remain a military secret. But the fact that they got there is now recognized as a part of military operations, just as the advance landing of Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark in North Africa, carrying bags of U. S. gold. These Italian - Americans were especially trained in the dangerous, delicate job of winning over mili-tary garrisons in advance of a land-ing force. In Sicily they had the advantage of speaking the language end being able to visit the homes of their relatives, few of whom loved Mussolini. From there they were able to work around to various mili-tary leaders. It has long been known that Ital-ian military leaders were of two types. One is the professional sol-dier like Field Marshal Badoglio, who was in the army before Musso-lini'- s time and has no love for the Fascists. Also he has no love for the Nazis, and so was not too diffi-cult to win over to the Allied side. Other type of Italian military lead-ers is the Fascist Blackshirt, who rose through favors from II Duce, but who usually is susceptible to coin of the realm. Presumably U. S. advance scouts were supplied with what General Clark took with him in advance into North Africa. At any rate, expert advance work by patriotic Italian-American- s, plus the popularity of the United States in Sicily, contributed to one of the most bloodless landing expeditions in history. Also the psychological shock of the headlong U. S. rush through Sic-ily was what toppled Mussolini off his thorny throne. GEN. GIRAUD'S WATERLOO General Giraud was shown all the sights of Washington during his stay here, including the war depart-ment's massive Pentagon building, rated as the largest office building in the world. After the French commander had been led through the labyrinth of Pentagon corridors to General Staff headquarters, and later out into the sunlight, he was asked what be thought of the place. "Well," remarked General Gi-raud, "I've escaped from two Ger-man prisons, but I could never get out of this building." UNDER TWO FLAGS The chickens hatched when Amer-ican ships were put under the Pana-manian flag to avoid neutrality laws are now coming home to roost. As a result, the U. S. government now employs 16,000 seamen whom it pays in hard cash every month, but over whom it has no disciplinary control whatsoever. The seamen are working under the Panamanian flag, though actually they are American citizens. So when they get into brawls In American ports, they must answer to the Panamanian consul, though they are American citizens and draw American pay. Certain state department officials are urging that the problem be solved by transferring the ships back to U. S. registry. Note: At present, when one of these ships clears a U. S. port it must pay a $20 fee to the consul of Panama, in spite of the fact that the ship belongs to the U.S.A. AXIS DISTORTIONS The Axis radio is trying Jo scare up a war in South America. The Bolivian army, with Peru's support, according to the Axis, Is about to launch an attack on Chile to gain a port on the Pacific. Here Is the only grain of truth be-hind this propaganda: When Bolivi-an President Penaranda returned to La Paz from his visit to th United States, he stated publicly that Bo-livian aspirations for a seaport had never been abandoned, that when the opportune time arose Bolivia would assert that claim. Truth Is, however, that Penaranda had no such militant motive in mind. Furthermore, moderate elements in Chile assert they would be perfectly willing to discuss the 6aie of the port of Arica to Bolivia. If the Chilean moderates actually bring about negotiation for the sale of Arica, they will set a new high In good neighbor relations. It has not , been long since the territorial am-bitions of South American countries as In the case of Peru vs. Ecua-dor and Bolivia vs. Paraguay have been settled by a resort to arms. CAPITAL CHAFF C When Augusto Rosso, former Italian ambassador In Washington, was transferred from Russia to be Italian ambassador to Turkey, the Nazis stopped his appointment. They said he was too Rosso has an American wife, the former Mrs. Francis Bunker of Denver. C While the Italian nation was strictly rationed, Count and Countess Ciano added to their popularity in Rome by throwing elaborate par-ties. Caviar, lobster and champagne featured the menu. UnclMQv We have "inalienable rights" on the one hand and inalienable duties on the other. A failure is a man who sells his experience for less than he paid for it. A good comedian is worth his wit in gold. The wise man never lets trouble in-terfere with his work, but makes work interfere with his trouble. You can indulge your eccentrici-ties when you are poor, but you will stay poor. The man who watches the clock will always be one of the hands. The man who slings mud loses ground. Flemish Word for Car Is Two Good Mouthfuls Just about the longest word in the world is "snelpaardelooszoon-deerspoorwegpetrolirijtuig- ," and is a Flemish word meaning auto-mobile. The etymology is "snel," rapid; "paardeloos," horseless; without rails; "petrolirijtuig," driven by petrol. What a contrast this word is to our own abbreviation "car"! As a description the word is quite good but thank goodness, we speak English! Kid 'Stars Aren't New When we read of the big sums earned by the various kiddies in the movies, don't think it's some-thing new. William Henry West Betty made his debut as an actor In 1803, at the age of 11, and was such a success that he collected $170,000 in 56 nights. When he appeared at Covent Garden Opera house in England, the crush was so great that the troops were called out to keep or-der. He was presented to royalty, and on one occasion, when he was playing "Hamlet," the house of commons was specially adjourned so that members could see his per-formance. There aren't any facts about his fan mail, but the autographs it contained must have been worth quite a bit, tool He died on August 24, 1874. Mending a small snag or rip be-fore an article goes into the wash-ing machine may save a larger patch later on. For longer service wash cotton garments according to the instruc-tions on the label. Tomatoes canned with the pulp and seeds contain food value not saved in tomato juice. Remove fresh grease stains from wallpaper immediately by holding a clean white blotter over stain and applying a warm iron. Move the blotter as it takes up the grease and use a clean por-tion to prevent spreading the stain. Save colored bottles that bever-ages come in and use them for holding trailing vines, sprays or other greenery. They add a note of color to glass shelves in win-dows or in flower racks. To prevent figs, dates or raisins from clogging the food chopper add a few drops of lemon juice. If you buy wool material that isn't preshrunk, it's wise to steam-pres- s it to shrink it before cut-ting out a garment. A little starch added to the wa-ter with which mirrors are washed will remove soil and give a polish to the glass. nave you ever tried drying the dishes with twin dish towels? A fresh dry towel in each hand disposes of them in the proverbial twinkling of an eye. When washing cut glass or pressed glass articles, apply the sudsy water with a small hand brush. It gets the soapy water into the crevices and removes dust which dulls the brilliancy of the glass. Alii SMOOTH I TOESS SHEETS GT SO JutmE ULI!
