WTPOBACCO ROAD," that
A painfully realistic drama
of life among the poor whites
that has been running for
years and years on Broad
way, has reached the screen
at last. There's been consid
erable speculation about
what would be left of it when
it became a picture, since practical
ly all of it was highly censorable.
Well, just about nothing got by.
Most of the sizzling dialogue of
the original version was omitted, of
course. The characters have been
changed. The result is a rather in
nocuous movie with a few beauti
ful camera shots.

Dennis Morgan says that the only
time he was ever broke, hungry and
desperate was the
day he became a
full-fledged movie
star. Morgan, who
is co-starring with
Merle Oberon in
Warner Bros.' "Af
fectionately Yours, ''
was discovered by
Mary Garden when
he sang "Don Juan"
to her "Carmen."
She called the atten
Dennis Morgan tion of movie scouts
to the handsome
and popular young singer.
"I signed at a good salary and
thought 1 was sitting on top of the
world," he said. "Instead, I found
myself, broke and hungry, sitting out
In the desert in a broken-down Ja
loppy." He didn't understand that
a yearly movie contract provides
for a 12-week layoff without pay. He
bought an ancient auto and headed
West. But his layoff period came
llrst.
The days of the glorified bathtub
are back. In "Ziegfeld Girl" Lana
Turner, as one of ______
the glorified show
girls, steps into a
marble tub wearing
her jewelry, includ
ing earrings and a
tiara, and apparent
ly nothing else.
Though the much
publicized episode
of the Anna Held
milk bath will not
be used, the scene
witn Lana is based i... xarner
on an actual occur
rence, when a slightly tipsy Follies
Girl stepped out of her bathrobe and
into the tub wearing her hat and Jew
els. But when Miss Turner slips out
of the bathrobe there's a flesh col
ored bathing suit on her, as well as
the jewels.

What kind of noise does a planet
make when it explodes? That's
what a group of serious-minded men
in Miami, Fla., want to know.
They're bringing "Superman" to the
screen at the Fleischer Studios,
and in one of the opening scenes
a planet explodes?only "Superman"
in a rocket ship, escapes. Max
Fleischer thinks it ought to be very,
very loud; Dave Fleischer thinks it
ought to be a combination of heavy
gunfire, earthquake?and an apple
breaking in two, much multiplied.
Unless somebody thinks up some
thing more satisfactory, the apple
wins.

LET'S BE VENTURESOME?TRY IT!
(See Recipes Below)
ADVENTURES IN COOKING
"I get just as much 'lift' out of a
new recipe as I do out of buying a
new hat"?so stated a homemaker
recently and her statement set me
thinking. After all, why shouldn't
we women enjoy a new recipe?
Given a brand new, unusual and
different recipe to prepare the mak
ing up of that rec
ipe becomes a
challenge, almost
a game. Can we
make it up cor
rectly? Does the
recipe suggest a
new cookery proc
ess, one which
perhaps we have never tried before?
How is the new dish going to taste?
Are we going to be really proud of
it when we take it to the table? Is
the family going to like it? Adven
ture in cooking?that's just what it
is, and that's why 1 like new reci
pes; that's why I like to suggest
new recipes to you.
Today's assortment (given below)
is centered arqund a number of new'
ways to prepare various kinds of
sausage. Far too often, I fear, we
think of sausage as something to
serve for breakfasts or light sup
pers; we fry it, serve it and that's
the beginning and the end of all
the thinking we do about it.
So let's be venturesome and try
these recipes. The list contains a
number of my personal favorites. I
am sure both you and the family
tfill enjoy them.

Adventures in Cooking
Everyone likes to adventure in
cooking and that's just the oppor
tunity that conies to each home
maker when she tries out a new
recipe. The best part of the ad
venture, however, comes about
when the recipe makes the man
of the family look up and with
both pride and appreciation in his
voice pronounces the whole meal
a tremendous success.
The 10c recipe book, "Feed- -
ing Father," contains a large
number of brand new recipes,
each so different that making
them up is an adventure?so good
that eating them entirely merits
and begets the gratification of the
man of the family. Send today?

Wet Chimney.
QUESTION: How can I keep reli
from coming down the chimne;
of my bungalow?
Answer: One method is to put i
slab of stone over the top of th<
chimney, supported on columns, si
that the draft will not be interfere)
with. It may be that the water doei
not come down the flue, but get
into the brickwork through defectivi
mortar joints, or through a brokei
chimney cap. These possibilitiei
should be looked into.
Darkened Floor.
Question: After scraping and wip
ing, a floor was given a coat of whit*
shellac thinned with denatured al
cohol. The floor has darkened anc
is so rough that it catches dust fron
the mop. Shellac was purchased ii
a gallon-can two years ago, but hai
been kept covered in the cellar. Ii
this shellac responsible?
Answer: Yes; for shellac deteri
orates with age. It should be usee
within a few months. The qualitj
makers of shellac date their cans
All of the old shellac should be taker
off, which can be done by wipini
with denatured alcohol. You wil
probably find that this will leave I
smooth surface. Get top qualitj
I and pure shellac, and thin it with ar
equal quantity of good denatured al
cohol, put on in two or three thir
I coats. Instead of shellac, you could
use two coats of top quality flooi
varnish.
Washing Painted Walls.
Question: What is your formula
for washing painted interior house
walls?
Answer: Use tepid water in which
dissolve trisodium phosphate in the
proportion of one teaspoonful to the
gallon. When washing painted walls,
start at the floor level and work up
wards. If you start at the top and
work down, you will make dirty
streaks that will be almost impos
sible to clean off. Rinse thoroughly.
Trisodium phosphate can be had un
der a trade name at a grocery store;
ask for a white cleaning powder that
makes no lather. Another excellent
type of paint cleaner is made'of a
cereal preparation, which has no
strong chemicals and does not hurt
the hands. It is on sale at most
paint stores, and is much used by
professional painters.
Cesspool la an Old Well.
Question: Can you give me any
information about using an old well
as a cesspool? Are wells built with
holes in the sides to permit the water
to seep in? Do you think the water
from the cesspool could drain away
through the sides or only from the
bottom? The well is 30 feet deep
and three or four feet wide.
Answer: With water in the bot
tom of the well, you will naturally
get no drainage, and the idea would
be impractical. There is also a pos
sibility of contaminating the water
supply of another well which may
be close by. I would advise building
a cesspool and locating it as far
from the sources of water supply as
possible. Have you considered a
septic tank instead of a cesspool?
Kellnlshlng a Brick House.
Question: We wish to clean our
brick cottage, which is 60 years old.
How should we do it? What colors
do you suggest for the trim and the
shutters?
Answer: You can clean the brick
work with any coarse scouring
powder and plenty of water with a
stiff scrubbing brush. If this does
not restore the color sufficiently, you
can use a cement paint that is in
tended for masonry, and that you
can get in brick or other color, at
a paint store. White painted bricks
are very popular, and you might
consider this. White trim against
red bricks is effective, and a soft
green jade for instance, should be
a good contrast for the shutters.
Cleaning a Statuette.
Question: I have a statuette of
the kind that was made in large
numbers 30 or more years ago, but
that now can' be found only in
antique shops. It would look better
if it were cleaned. What method
and materials should I use?
Answer: The statuette is undoubt
edly of a kind known as a Rogers
Group, or something similar. It is
made of plaster of paris and finished
with oil paint. You can clean it
with a cloth damp with soapy water;
follow by wiping with clear water
and then allow to dry thoroughly.
For a final finish you can repaint it
with ordinary oil paint.
UU Finish.
Question: In a rubbed oil finish,
is raw or boiled linseed oil used?
Is the first coat applied hot or cold?
Answer: Raw linseed oil is usu
ally applied cold. One excellent
combination is 3 parts oil and 1 part
turpentine, which has greater pene
tration. An alternative is equal
parts of oil, turpentine and denat
ured alcohol.
Iodine Stains.
A correspondent suggests the use
rf starch to remove iodine stains
torn cloth in the following way:
'Wet the stain with a starch solu
ion such as is used for starching
rollers. When the color turns blue,
rinse with hot water. For old stains
ry half alcohol and water in suf
Icient quantity to dissolve a table
ipoonful of starch. Then wet thor
oughly and keep wet until no iodine
?emains. Repeat if necessary."
rhis method sounds practical, but a
eliable dry cleaner could probably

A Nourishing
Diet That Is
Low in Cost
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
OUlMMd by Western Newspaper Union.)
IN MY student days we
learned that there were three
main classes ot foods?proteins
(meat, eggs, fish, cereals),
starches (bread, I"""""--""""-~
potatoes, sugar), THAT'S
and fats (butter, ?raiTn
cream, fat A
meats), The oth- CO LI Ml
er foodstuffs, I?_
salts?iron, lime, phosphorous
?and water, were considered
"necessary" foods.
Today foods are not considered
entirely from the standpoint of fuel
or heat, but from the standpoint of
the building of the body and main
taining the various body processes
in proper condition to do their work.
In days when foods necessary to
maintain health are of the utmost
importance to a na
tion, adults, children
and children of the
future, not only must
these foods be ac
quired but they must
be within the reach
of those with low in
come.
That the expectant
mother must have
an excess quantity
of foods containing
-Dr. Barton all the food essen
tials?proteins, fats,
starches, minerals and vitamins?is
screed. It is a source of surprise
and satisfaction therefore to learn
that research workers at Columbia
university have found that the ex
pectant mother can live on a diet
costing as little as 34 cents a day
and still get generous amounts of
all food substances she needs.
Suggested Diet.
This diet is announced by Dr.
Clara Taylor, Columbia university,
assistant professor of nutrition.
A sample day's menu consists of:
Breakfast?four prunes; one cup of
oatmeal with a little sugar; two
slices of whole wheat toast; one ta
blespoon butter; one glass of milk.
Lunch?Cream of tomato soup
made with one half cup of tomatoes,
one-fourth cup evaporated milk, one
teaspoon flour and one teaspoon fat;
salad of one egg, lettuce, mayon
naise; cheese sandwich (three
ounces of cheese and teaspoon but
ter) on whole wheat bread; one
glass of milk.
Dinner?Three ounces broiled beef
liver; one baked potato; one cup
kale or cabbage; two slices whole
wheat bread; two tablespoons but
ter; one banana; one glass milk.
Sugar allowance for a day is one
ounce.

What to Do for
Cases of Enuresis ?
NE of the gratifying discoveries
in recent years is a method or
methods of curing bed wetting or
enuresis. Even after children reach
their teens, they may be embar
rassed by. this distressing condi
tion.
In young children, liquids are cut
down toward evening, the child is
sent to the bathroom before going to
bed and as the parents are retiring
the child is awakened by his parents
and walks to the bathroom again.
This gets him completely awake and
is considered an important part of
the treatment. Formerly the par
ent carried the child to the bath
room and in many cases he was
not completely awake. Part of the
treatment also were methods to pre
vent the child lying on his back dur
ing sleep?knot in tail of sleeping
garment, narrow space in bed pre
venting him lying on his back.
A great advance in the treatment
of older boys and girls is the eating
of the salt sandwich. No liquid
of any kind is allowed after 4 p. m.,
and a sandwich of bread and butter
with a layer of table salt, or salt
fish, or salt meat is given at bed
time. As salt holds 70 times its
own weight of water, this great
amount of salt at bedtime holds the
water in the tissues till morning,
thus preventing it going down to the
kidneys.
However, there are some cases of
bed wetting that are not due to nerv
ousness or to emotional disturbance,
but to some condition of the kid
neys, bladder, or the generative or
gans themselves. The editor of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association advises that before any
treatment tor bed wetting is begun
a thorough examination of the kid
neys, bladder and generative organs
be made, including X-rays, to de
termine whether the cause is or
ganic or functional.
