STAR DUST Carole Lombard .OTIC • * dr ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ AT LAST Shirley Temple’s 'L* parents have given in and will permit her to speak over the radio. She will stay up until eight-thirty the night that “Wee Willie Winkie” opens in Holly wood, address a country-wide audience and then go home to bed without seeing the picture. This is more of a victory for Shir ley than it is for radio executives. All their money did not interest Mr. and Mrs. Temple, who try to hold Shirley’s working hours down to a minimum. But Shirley heard talk on the studio lot about this player and that one going on the radio and she began to wonder why she couldn’t do it. She begged and begged. Finally Mrs. Temple just had to let her do it. When Carole Lombard insisted that her new contract with Para mount include a clause giving her permission to make one picture a year for any other com pany she chose, all the little companies scurried around looking for stories that might interest her. One picture with a star like Lombard, they fig ured, would put them in the big theaters, and in the big money. And now Carole has gone and broken their hearts. She has signed a contract with Selxnick to make one picture a year for him for five years. B-K-O has a grand surprise all ready for Irene Donne.

Bridges, or Lack of Them, Have Determined the Course of History Prepared by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. T HE completion of the new steel bridge across the Gold en Gate recalls some of the old metal spans, many of which have been in use for two or more centuries. To England, in 1776, fell the honor of erecting the first iron bridge. There Abraham Darby cast a bridge at the Coalbrookdale Iron works and erected it across the Severn. Thomas Telford, a Scotsman who lived between 1797 and 1834, is known to students of engineering the world over for his achievements in canal, harbor, road, and bridge construction. He was engineer for the perliamentary commissioners for road making and bridge build ing in the highlands of Scotland, un der which organ list ion 1.200 bridges were erected la England he helped build five bridges ever the Severn, end was employed on canals and highways by the Swedish aad Polish governments The Menai suspension bridge In Wales, connecting Carnarvonshire with the island of Anglesey, la the bsel hiwa monument to hie pm- nee ring genius It was opened m !M. after seven years ef work, and eras, at that tome, the world's larg est tuopsnsion bridge, being 1.7:) feet tong, with s mam spaa ef 97V feet Aa Motors ef Brooklyn Bridge.

Complete Ploy Ensemble In his “Voyage to South Ameri ca," written many decades ago, Don Antonio de Ulloa describes va rious Inca bridges he found there. One of them, the tarabita, is much like the greasy buttered bridge of Tibet. “The tarabita is only a sin gle rope made of bejuco," says Ul loa, “or thongs of ox hide . . . This rope is fastened on each bank to strong posts. On one side is a kind of wheel, or winch, to straight en or slacken the tarabita to the degree' required. From the tarabita hangs a leathern hammock capable of holding a man." Using another rope, the passenger pulls himself back and forth. Ulloa saw mules moved the same way. At Baghdad years ago, when the Turks were still waging their long war against desert tribes, their ar tillery used to lumber noisily acroes the Tigris on e bridge of boats, on its way to bombard some Arab mud town that had not paid Its taxes. From a safe distance, when Turkish guns opened fire on the mud-walled village#, obeervara could see duet end Umbers fiy high into the air. Sometime# the Turks came hack ecroae the bridge ef t long line# of camels from del •edaMM, hoot rushed suddenly ever the •tod stole their camels hack afl At Mosul on the Tigris, herd by eld Nineveh end hi the shadow of Jonah’s tomb, la another ouch bridge of boats Mill lone of pilgrims have crossed these sway* Never in a hurry 1 Who? God. He needed a human leader to bring his chosen people up out of the bondage of Egypt and he spent 80 years getting him ready—40 years learning all the wisdom of Egypt, and 40 years learning the lessons of God, patience and humility, on the back side of the desert. Infinite and omnipotent is God, and he may move with faster-than- Jightning speed. But usually we find him working out his blessed pur poses, normally, quietly, but always “on time.” Our lesson brings before us the meeting with God which preceded the appearance of Moses as the head of the nation of Israel in its mighty conflict with Pharaoh. We find him first proceeding with com mendable care but then going on in unfortunate humility which amount ed almost to unbelief and which re sulted in the substitution of his brother Aaron as his spokesman, but eventually we do see him going about his difficult task with resolu tion and courage. I. Justifiable Caution (Exod. 3:13- 18). Neither God nor man dare entrust a high and difficult commission to i foolish man who brusquely ‘rushes in where angels fear to tread." The fact that one feels fully and unhesitatingly qualified to take over such a responsibility is almost a certain indication that he is not the man to assume it. The ambassador must have cre dentials. God’s representative has When “they shall say**—what aa important and difficult situation that creates. The God muot expect not only the kittemeee of God's en- but alee the of those he seeks to “Whet shall I aay?” ad id God answers that he at “1 AM * had seal h line of God Here In ea- real Wm tune and published verve.

In Europe, as In America Nineteenth century saw vast • l vanco in iron bridge building, espe cially stimulated by new railways. The Newcastle and Berwick railway alone required 110. Progress in de sign sometimes wee costly. A new Iron bridge acroes the Firth ef Tay, near Dundee. Scotland, collapsed in a gale. Rushing at night into the open gap a mail train waa wrecked, killing some four-score passengers. Today’s bridge excels not only In design, foundations, end methods of erection, but especially in materials. Now iron yields to steel. The Besse mer, end later Siemens-Martin proc esses, gave bridge builders some thing new and stronger—a steel cheaply produced. At any army field day you may see the speedy work of engineers, showing how emergency bridges are built, wrecked, and repaired in war- ^ time. Washington Bridge Beats George. Homer tells about pontoon bridges used in war. Darius, Cyrus, Xer xes, Alexander the Great, all em ployed them. Caesar built his 1,400- foot wooden bridge across the Rhine in ten days. In 1781, it took General Washing ton four days to ferry only 4,000 men across the Hudson when he moved his army south from New York to Virginia. Now, over the George Washington bridge at New York, a whole army corps—or 97,- 000 men, 23,105 animals, and more than 11,000 gun carriages, trucks, and other vehicles—could be put across in eight hours! Chinese classics relate that a cer tain king once crossed a river by walking over a bridge formed by the backs of'a long line of big, ac commodating turtles 1 Turkish and Chinese Bridges. In west China and Tibet, to this day, men “coast" across rivers on tightropes, sitting in a seat slung under the rope and sliding along it To make the underslung seat slide faster the rope is often greased with butter. Dr. Joseph Rock, exploring for the National Geographic society, reports his own use of yak butter oo such bridges. “1 always tried to aad salted deed re La Lives friends le oecred burial grounds around the dseert holy cities ef Najef aad Karbala. with a wrap a h haitar It*s the a ha your ahorl match.

It does. It connects the mainland state of Santa Catharina with its capital, Florianopolis, which stands on an off-shore island. The American Bridge company erected this struc ture, shipping all the parts ready made. No other field in American over seas trade demands more ingenuity than does the bridge man’s calling. Orders come in for new bridges which may be wanted in any land from Alaska to Ecuador. No facts may be at hand about floods, river traffic, health and food conditions, or the nature of the river bed and banks, whether rock, clay, sand, or rnud, at the spot where the new bridge is to be built. Since no tools, equipment, or building supplies of any kind may be available there, the American builder must take everything with him. A Twist of Tongues. Problems of language, food, and climate must be met. One Ameri can engineer arrived in Peru on his first visit to Latin America to build a bridge. Anxious to gain a Spanish vocabulary of bridge words, he chose a personal helper from among the workers and prac ticed diligently. Imagine his cha grin when he finally discovered that his bridge vocabulary could be used only in India, for he had picked a Hindu as a teacher!

God made your mouth and mine. He gives us the power of speech. He asks not the eloquence of polished rhetorical pe riods. or the flights of man’s imag ination. He wants but the incom parable eloquence of his own words on our lips. Dr. Richard Ellsworth Day in “Bush Aglow*’ rightly points out that this was the secret of the power of D. L. Moody. III. Unnecessary Sabstitotion (Exod. 4:13-16). Loving and patient is our God, but there is a boundary line to that patience. Moses went too far in his humility and reflected on the ability Df God, who promptly substituted Aaron as the spokesman. Gracious was He in thus provid ing a helper for Moses. But one wonders what Moses missed of blessing and power because of his slowness of heart. IV. “And Afterward" (Exod. 5:1). Commissioned, bearing creden tials from the infinite and eternal “I AM," and with a strong and elo quent brother by his side, Moses stands before Pharaoh to say in God’s name, “Let my people go." Preparation and the holy privilege of fellowship with God are to make us ready for service. While it is fdlly to go unprepared, it is double folly to prepare and then fail to go when God commands. , •evr.ir-flve eto^Bl is r« Whet a Aad hew ’ would be as ea If B to time! win of this an—urn *> farther J” Morning and Evening Prayer It is well to let prayer be the first employment in the morning and the last in the evening.—M.
