They figured that when the first excitement over the animated drawings that make up “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was over they would come back into the limelight again. But along came the world’s be loved blockhead, Charlie McCarthy, in “Goldwyn Follies” to distract at tention from mere humans, and next “The River,” a picture without any actors whatever became the talk of the entertainment world. Now mere children have romped in and taken all the attention away from their elders. Judy Garland, Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer’s fourteen-year-old singing star, is enjoying huge success on a personal appearance tour, and the even-younger Tommy Kelly and Ann Gillis of “Tom Sawyer” have cap tivated several cities they have vis ited. They had the great thrill of being received informally at the White House, they visited Mark Twain’s home town to place a wreath on his grave, and in between times they saw the sights of New York. June Lang, Ethel Merman, and Cesar Romero have been flying all over the country attending openings of “In Old Chicago” and audiences were so appreciative of the oppor tunity to see players face to face that Twentieth Century-Fox plans to June Lang stage gala openings for many of their pictures in the future. You won’t have to go to Hollywood or New York to attend openings with the stars in the future. —*— Three young men singers have become big radio favorites in the past few weeks and by next year radio executives figure they will all be top-ranking stars. John Carter, who replaced Nelson Eddy on the Charlie McCarthy hour, is an ex- farmer and vaudeville dancer. Fe lix Knight, who in addition to his own Sunday morning program has been appearing with Leo Reisman’s orchestra, comes from Florida, via Hollywood, and is much too young to have had any career other than singing. Glenn Darwin, the rich- toned barytone whom you have ^probably heard on the Magic Key program, was a famous soprano at the age of nine. He made a record of “Ave Maria” then that is still held up as a model of perfection to choir boys. —*— Fred Allen used to work in the Boston Public library, carrying jooks to the folks who requested them.

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! « » The Lead Engine Took a Nose Dive. when all of a sudden he saw John Cunningham go into action. “He was grabbing for the whistle—grabbing for the brake valve—grabbing for the reverse lever,” says John, “and it seemed to me as if he was grabbing for all of them at the same time. Off the Track at Full Speed. “I jumped to the left cab window. I was just in time to see a • section gang scattering to the fields—and in time to get a shower of ballast full in the face. We had struck a hand-car loaded with iron rails.” John reeled back under the force of the blow he had received. Fo* a second or two the big engine seemed to be riding the rails. Then John felt the wheels bump off onto the ties. “The emergency brake,” he says, “was almost useless. We had been tearing downhill and around those curves with the throttle as wide open as it was safe to have it on that par ticular stretch of track. Our speed was almost forty-five miles an hour at the time, and behind us were another locomotive and forty heavy carloads of coal, shoving us along with the momentum they had gathered in that downhill run.” There was no hope of stopping that train, and John says that there wasn’t any possibility of jumping, either. The big engine was rocking and swaying so badly that neither John nor Cunningham could stand long enough to jump. “All we could do,” he says, “was to grab what ever we could get hold of in the cab and hang onto it.” All that happened in just a couple of seconds, and things were happening so fast that John didn’t even have time to think. But afterwards he could recall vividly sensations that he wasn’t even aware of at the time. “Was I scared?” he says. “I don’t know. Things were coming so fast that I don’t think I had time to be frightened. For more than forty feet we rode the ties, and then bumped out on a trestle bridge. We ran sixty more feet out on that, and then the lead engine— the one I was in—took a nose dive to the right, keeled over on her side and began sliding down a thirty-foot bank.” He Got Out Just in Time. John and John Cunningham were still in the cab—still fighting for equilibrium—for a foothold that would give them a chance to jump. The engine slid down the bank and came to rest in a hog wallow beyond the right-of-way fence. The minute it stopped, John was at the window and on his way out, with John Cunningham crowding behind him. They were out the window so fast that it seemed as if both of them had gone through together. But at that, they weren’t a second too soon. Just as they cleared the cab, a steam tube let go—burst with a roar that cleared the cab out as clean as dynamite could have cleaned it, and two hundred pounds of steam pressure flooded the spot they had just left with hot, scalding death. Only a second’s delay and both John and Cunningham would have died back there in the engine cab—cooked to death in an instant by the jet of live steam. “The second engine,” says John, “bumped into our tender and turned off to the left, but the crew escaped injury in almost the same miracu lous manner that we did. None of the coal cars piled up on top of either engine, as they usually do in such accidents, and that was almost another miracle. Since that time I’ve had many a spill and been in many a wreck. In some of them I’ve sustained injuries. But none of those close calls ever gave me anything like the thrill I got out of this one in which I wasn’t even scratched.” Copyright.—WNU Service.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAV I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 13 CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT MISCELLANEOUS HOW TO MAKE A RESTAURANT PAY: consult: MASTER CHEF, DEPT. A., MO MARKET ST.. SAN FRANCISCO. CALIF. Monster Out of Hand By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter H ello everybody: John J. Boner of Chicago has been firing a locomotive since 1906. He says that in that time he has had many a thrill —as what railroad man from engineer right along to conductor hasn’t? But the biggest thrill in all John Boner’s railroading career came to him on September 10, 1910, when he was firing an engine on the Milwaukee. John was working west out of Perry, Iowa, and early in the morning he was called to fire on a double-header coal train. John was on the lead engine, and John Cunningham was the engineer. The train, John says, consisted of forty carloads of coal behind two Baldwin com pound engines. The train pulled out of Perry in some of the finest weather John had ever seen in his life. “The beauty of the day,” he says, “seemed to impart something of its zest to our engines, and we made the wheels sing on those forty cars as we pushed the big locomotives along. From Perry to Council Bluffs, the road was all single track and water grades.” Up and Down the Water Grades. For the benefit of us lubbers who don’t know what a water grade Is, John explains it to us. Those water grades get their name from the fact that a water tower is always set on the top of a hill whenever pos sible, so a train, after stopping to take on water, can get up momentum again by coasting downgrade. Water grades were just a series of ups and downs in the track, and with a heavy train you go as fast as you can turn a wheel down one hill in order to get up the next. They cleared half a dozen of those grades, and everything was going fine. The train topped a hill east of Manning, Iowa, and John Cunning ham opened the throttle and the train roared downgrade through a series of curves, gathering momentum for the next climb. They were rounding the last curve, a mile east of Manning, when it happened. John was tossing a few scoopfuls of coal into the firebox, FEEDING THE HUNGRY LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:30-44. GOLDEN TEXT—Give ye them to eat. Mark 6:37. PRIMARY TOPIC—When Jesus Fed a Hungry Crowd. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy s Part in * Great Miracle. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Snaring What We Have. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Providing for the Needs of All. Tarotite JQectp* oft the U/eeh “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). Such is the assurance of God’s Word. Countless Christians have proved it to be true that they may trust God to supply every need—temporal or spiritual. The lesson for today first presents the disciples as they had come back from their preaching expedition and presented to the Lord Jesus a re port of their stewardship in minis tering the bread of life to the spir itually needy. He invites them to a place apart from the busy walks of daily life for a time of com munion and rest. The multitude would not be denied, however, and follow our Lord to the desert place. Having taught them, Jesus has op portunity to instruct His disciples in the important ministry of supply ing for those in need the bread for their bodies. I. The Ministry of the Bread of Life. Reports of accomplishments in the field of Christian work (al though sometimes an earnest ac counting of stewardship of service and money) are all too often pre pared for the purpose of impressing men and seeking their financial as sistance. The real report is the one which disciples make to their Lord. It concerns two vital points. 1. “What they had done” (v. 30). One of the temptations which face the preacher and teacher of Chris tian truth is to avoid unpleasant and difficult problems by simply proclaiming the truth and doing nothing about the outworking of that truth in daily living. It sounds very pious to say that we will present the Word and let it do its own work, but the Christian worker who evades his duty to deal at close grips with sin and disorder in the church and community has not dis charged his responsibility to Christ. 2. “What they had taught” (v. 30). The second temptation of the preacher is to follow the specious reasoning of the modernist who says that it does not matter what a man believes, it is what he does that counts. The foundation of Christian character is Christian doctrine, therefore the disciple of Christ must know what to teach, and give ac count to the Lord for his teaching. Teaching and doing the command ments of God go hand in hand. II. The Ministry of Daily Bread. Jesus found no rest, for the mul titudes followed Him to the other side of the lake. Ere long the eve ning approaches, and the disciples begin to be concerned about how this great multitude is' to be fed. They follow the inclinations of the flesh and decide to solve the prob lem by asking Jesus to 1. “Send them away” (v. 36). The church has followed their ex ample in dealing with the social problems of the people down through the years. The result is that being denied fellowship, com fort, and help by a church which was too busy building up a vast or ganization or a beautiful order of worship, the common people have responded to the appeal of political leaders who have provided a sub stitute for what the church should have given them. Serious thoughts are these. It will not do for us to “send them away” from the church empty hearted and empty handed. Our Lord says— 2. “Give ye them to eat” (v. 37). Reckoning hastily on what a small boy had brought for his lunch (trust an alert boy to be ready!), the dis ciples soon demonstrate that it is impossible to feed this great throng. Logic is such a devastating thing when it operates apart from faith in God. They were absolutely right in their reasoning and in their cal culations, but they had forgotten the one factor that really counted. Jesus was there, and Jesus is God, and God is omnipotent. 3. “He commanded . . . and they did all eat” (vv. 39, 42). When God speaks all the limita tions of the finite disappear, and the needs of men are fully met—with “twelve baskets full of fragments” left over! Let those who labor in difficult places with limited resources take heart—and trust God. Pineapple Cream for Plain Cake. V4 ANY times the dessert ques- 1V - 1 tion is a difficult one to de cide upon, and ♦here are other times when there is some pound cake, gingerbread, or plain butter cake left that needs to be made interesting to tempt the family. When these two situations meet, you will find that pineapple cream to serve over slices of any one of the kinds of cake will be just the trick to ptoduce a lovely dessert. Pineapple Cream. 8 oz. can crushed pineapple Vt pint pastry cream % cup marmalade, jam or Jelly Drain the juice from the pine apple and save it to use for some thing else, or just drinjs it. Whip the cream until stiff. Blend the cream with the drained pineapple and the marmalade, jam or jelly. By varying the kind of jam used the whole tone or flavor of the cream can be changed, and you will find any flavor blends well with the pineapple. Serve the pine apple cream over slices of the chosen cake. Our Presidents Zachary Taylor was interred without burial services. President Wilson’s baptismal name was Thomas Woodrow, but in early life he discarded the Thomas. During his public career he was known as Wood- row Wilson. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the first President to be inaugurated in January. Theodore Roosevelt (in 1906) and Woodrow Wilson (in 1918) • were awarded the Nobel peace prize. Washington was the only President to have a state named after him. MEN LOVE GIRLS WITH PEP If you are peppy and full of fun, men will in vite you to dances and partiea.

Watch Your Kidneys/ Help Them Cleanse the Blood of Harmful Body Waste Your kidneys are constantly filtering waste matter from the blood stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do not act as Nature intended—fail to re move impurities that, if retained, may poison the system ymd upset the whole body machinery. Symptoms may be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—a feeling of nervous anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
