Plans have been approved for an 800-mile su per highway . binding Berlin - to v Rome, to be completed by 1941. 'Arrow-straight wherever "possible, 'free of grade crossings and speed limits, the road will reduce motor .biff time between" the two eanitala to predicted 14 hours.

"Both then and now the route was chosen to stimulate circulation ' between the sunny Mediterranean 'civilization of Italy and the northern-facing German plain, dominated by Berlin, which slopes toward the north sea and the Baltic. "The highway crosses Austria's .western end, so that throughout the , whole journey international motor ists will drive to the right.

Ber lin lacks only two degrees of lati ! tude.of being mapped straight above Rome. - ''.. . "The capitals at opposite ends of the road have many opposites in their respective histories. Berlin iwas a provincial city of somewhat over 300,000 people a century ago; Rome was a world power before the beginning of the Christian era. Now .Rome, with a million inhabitants, spreads its domes and florid towers over so much more than seven hills that it is one of the favorite candi dates for the title of the world's 'most extensive city. Berlin ranks sixth in area, but has four times the population of its southern sister city. Industries do not figure in the-activities of Rome; Germany's capital on. the other hand, is also 'her industrial center. , "The road from- Rome rolls north .ever the broad plain of the Cam- " 'pane, and climbs out of the Tiber valley over Tuscan hills. In fact, ..the Rome-to-Berlin highway goes over mountains, between mountains, lor at. least through landscape, with blue hints of hills, around the. rim, practically the first half of its way. Exceptions are the broad rolling Campana. which surrounds Rome. and the ample plain of the PcC iSe tween Florence and Bologna, the road launches right over the Apen nine range, r the craggy shinbone which runs the length of the Italian boot On the southern side lies the peaceful town of Pistols whose me- : dleval name and ironworklng fame survive in the' modern pistol.

Simone Simon (above) sings in her first comedy role opposite Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie in "Love and Hisses." Ben Bernie and his stooge, Bert Lahr, try to interest Walter Winchell in Bernie s new French protege, Simone Simon, who is supposed to be a great singer, but instead Winchell pans her in his broadcast. Because of this the Winchell-Bernie feud flares again. Bernie arranges a gag by means of which Simone is independently discovered" by Winchell who gives her a tremendous build-up, unaware of her true identity or connection with Bernie. The song Simone is to sing at the opening of Bernie's new night club was written by Dick Baldwin, strug giing young tunesmith, who believes, tnrough a misunderstanding that the old maestro is trying to steal it In the meantime ho meets Simone and their friendship ripens into love.

Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College, is reminding farmers. Spring seeding of permanent pas tui$s should be completed by March 1 in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont areas, and by March 15 in the moun tain counties. If pastures are started after those dates, Arey said, they may not be en tirely successful, since the delicate plants from late seedings do not have time to establish their root systems before the dry, hot weather of sum mer begins. Therefore, many are likely to perish from' lack of moia tureiV.:;'-';'-.--'''-- Proper seed-bed preparation is one of the most important steps in devel oping a good pasture.' The seed-be4 should be pulverized to a depth of two or three Inches, but the portion below should be left firm. This can usually be accomplished with a disc harrow.

K Playing in "62nd Street" recaptured for Pat memories of the period when she starred as a night-club enter tainer. .iJSbe was performing in Lon don clubs when her first movie oppor tunity arrived. "52nd Street" is a cavalcade of New York's night spots, but for the entertainer ths ? is good deal of similarity in 'the course to be followed whether the location is London or Ntew York, hi Thursday- end Friday "45 Fathers", Jane's Mast Laughable Hit' When Jane Withers and the Hart mans, eccentric ventriloquists and famed Broadway satirists of the dance, start throwing their voices and dancing around, uproariously funny things happen in the starlet's latest and most laughable, lovable picture, "45 Fathers," Twentieth Century Fox hit which opens today at the State Theatre, in which Thomas Beck and Louise Henry are also featured. Forty-five millionaire bachelors sign up as Jane's guardians. They try to make a lady out of her, but she almost makes a wreck out ot them. They try to give her that fin ishing school finish, with Professors Sammy Cohen and George Givot in charge of aesthetic dancing and voice culture, but when the Hartmans show her how to throw voices, darn ing and discretion to the winds, it's almost the finish of everybody. Jane, in spite of her ill-luck in do ing bad whenever she attempts to do good, manages to save wealthy Thomas Beck from the entanglement of a scheming society siren intent on getting his money. The manner in which she and the Hartmans perform this good deed is enough to make even the dummy laugh. Ulader the skilful direction of James Tinling with John Stone asso ciate producer, "45 Fathers" is lively, zippy entertainment. The screen play is written by Frances Hyland and Albert Ray, Umed o:i a staiy by Mary Bickel. Flower Gardens Add To Beauty Of Home The appearance of bright neT: seed catalogs has set the home gardeners dreaming cf summer flowers, masses of color and fragrance. Eefore making selections, there are several points the flower lover should keep in mind, declares J. G. Weaver, floriculturist at State College. Too many of the new novelties or so-called "All-American" selections should be avoided until they have been tested locally. The gardener who likes to experiment should buy only a small package of these seed. v However, a few that can be re commended are cosmos "Sensation Pinkie," chrysanthemum - flowered marigold, and petunia , "Salmon Su preme." If these varieties are suc cessful, they can be recommended to neighbors.: One of the most important things to avoid Is that of buying mixtures of seed.' ' If the gardener wants pink zinnias the variety known as Exquis ite should be purchased. The person who buys mixed seed gets many of the off-colors and poor , type flowers. For cut i flowers, .Weaver recom mends tlnnias, marigolds, asters, cos mos, snapdragons, I ' acabiosas, gail lardias, and tithonias. . Wilt resistant asters and rust resistant snapdrag ons can be purchased. . , If fragrance or odor in the garden is desired, the floriculturist suggests ageratum, marigold, heliotrope, mig nonette, nasturtium, ' stocks, sweet peas, and double petunias. ,,. : - Among the best border or edging plants or dwarf petunias, Tom Thumb snapdragons,: . nastnrtiums, phlox drummondi, verbenas, or dwarf marl- Nine years after their wedding in t Russia, MSr. and Mrs. Boris Kreinuck and women II years ef age or I J I saUry tf (129 to SIS'!

It's more sensible to jump on a chair at sight of a mouse than to shrink from one of these harmless creatures. Its teeth are too tiny to make a scratch on your .thumb and a grasshopper makes it a big meal. S'rent h of Man ind Women ' Only 5! per cent of women's we'fibl is streng'Jf, while men's Strength is 87 per cent of weight. Furthermore, women's muscles do not react as quick 'ft as men's: their Jung capacity is swaller; the num ber of red corpus-ties fewer; their legs shorter. Women's greater en durance can't compensate for these physical disadvantages. Approved Practices Assure Good Flocks It's astonishing to se how much many poultrymen expect of their chicks and Mother Nature, declares T. T. Brown, extension poultry spec ialist at State College. ,. On one farm one may find from 600 to 1,000 or more chicks crowded into a brooder house no larger than 12 by 14 feet. On the farm next door one will probably find a large brood of chicks in a house with practically no ventilation and a suffocating temper ature. Yet these poultrymen wonder why their chicks do not live and thrive, and sometimes throw up their hands in disgust at a business in which there is no money. Growers who are getting satisfac tory results with their present meth ods of raising chicks should not change, Brown said1. Many farmers fail because they try to follow the advice of too many persons, tor instance, one poultry. man may be attempting to follow the recommendations of several feed salesmen, the county agent, and the vocational teacher, as well as. the ad vice offered by neighbors. Although there is no one set way to raise chicks, the farmer should select one system and stick to that at all times. The chances of his suc cess, it the system is good, will be greatly enhanced. The extension poultrymen at State College have worked out a system which many farmers are using with a great deal of success, Brown said. Each new recommendation in the bus iness of poultry raising which they make is first tested thoroughly through experimental work and through practical field observations.
