And Keep Their Sorrows
Many of the world's greatest
men are unknown to fame. They
are great because they share their
joys with others.
No liberal man would im
pute a charge of unsteadiness
to another for changing his
opinion.
Gratitude costs no more than
politeness. Use both liberally.
Out of His Shape
We generally find the all-round
politician isn’t entirely square.
, To push or to be pulled—
that is the question every
traveler on life's highway
ought to ask himself.
Rooting for money is the root
of most evil.
Isn't That Enough?
A cross man, like a cross baby,
is not well. That’s about all that
ails him.
Conservatism is marked by
deliberation, which is a rec
ommendation in itself.
After all of one’s plans have'
gone to smash, one does not want
his own way so persistently.

★ Glamorous, the Order
★ Opera Cycle in Movies
★ Radio’s Grand Old Man.
By Virginia Vale
ANDREA LEEDS has given
-tV her studio press agents no
end of trouble. They’ve tried to
make her a glamour girl, and
she doesn’t want to be one.
*T’d rather get married,”
says she. “It lasts longer.”
But orders were that she must be
glamorous—and that she must take
on some weight in order to do if in
“The Last Frontier,” in which she
captivates Gary Cooper.
She gave in, and then stumbled
while playing badminton and broke
a bone in her right foot. That meant
being in bed with her foot in a
plaster cast for three weeks, she
was told. But she went night club
bing, plaster cast and all—if a girl's
ANDREA LEEDS
going to be glamorous she has to be
seen about town. And her earnest
effort to acquire the reputation the
studio had ordered got her nothing
but a scolding.
—*—
Now we’re to have an opera cycle
in pictures. The San Franqisco
Grand Opera company has been
selling out at all performances, so
the motion picture companies got an
inspiration and leaped right in.
Metro starts the ball rolling with
“Madame Pompadour,” with a Eu
ropean importation, Meliza Korjus,
starred. Two other studios will fol
low suit.
Probably the best one of the lot
will be Walt Disney’s “Farmyard
Symphony,” which will be knee-
deep in burlesques of operatic arias;
it’s being released practically at
once.
—*—
Tom Brown's supposed to break
his neck in “The Duke of West
Point,” and had to wear one of those
braces around his neck for eight
hours. (Eric von Stroheim wears
one in “Grand Illusion,” a foreign
picture that goes down as one of
the best of the year.) Afterward
Brown's neck was so stiff that he
thought he'd never be able to move
it naturally again.
—*—
William Powell is going back to
work in January, under a new con
tract recently signed with Metro.
His first picture will be “The Re
turn of the Thin Man,” with Myrna
Loy, of course. That “Thin Man”
series threatens to become , as
lengthy as the Charlie Chan one.
—*—
If anyone were to offer a medal
for “The Grand Old Man of Radio”
Rudy Vallee would probably get it.
Not that he's old, but he’s done so
much to develop good programs and
has discovered so much talent that
he deserves the title.
If you heard his tenth anniversary
program you’ve already checked up
on that. If you didn’t, you can prob
ably remember that the list of peo
ple he’s developed as stars of the
air includes a lot of famous folk,
from Alice Faye to Charlie McCar
thy.
But you may not have known that
he is responsible for the modern
type of guest program. Irene Bor-
doni' was his first guest star. In
1922 his program developed into its
present form. The salary list was
low, and still is far below the sums
paid for some similar programs
which are outdistanced by his in the
popularity ratings.
iii
It takes the listeners-in to make
Tommy Riggs appreciate his tal
ents. First they made him what he
is today with his “Betty Lou” voice,
and now they’ve been writing to
him to praise his very pleasant bari
tone voice and urge him to do more
singing as himself on his program.
—m—
ODDS AND ENDS . . . Jimmy Walker,
ex-mayor of New York, certainly started
something when he began those weekly
broadcasts from the city’s hospitals; his
many friends in the entertainment field
clamor to work for him for nothing, he
gives his own services, and the programs
are swell ... If you like pictures about
doctors you certainly must see “The Cita
del,” which is one of the best . . . And
be sure to see “The Young in Heart”
... All the studios are making Westerns
these days . v . James Cagney’s contribu
tion to the cycle is “Oklahoma Kid,” and
he’s had to learn to shoot like a cowboy
instead of a gangster.

FARM STOCK MUST
HAVE AMPLE FARE
Figures Are Given on Feed
Demand of Animals.
Supplied by the Department of Agricultural
Economics, University of Illinois.
WNU Service.
To weigh 225 pounds next sum
mer, each pig farrowed on farms
this winter will consume about 16
bushels of com, three bushels of
oats, 90 pounds of protein concen
trates and 40 pounds of alfalfa hay.
These figures are based on ap
proximate feed requirements for
live stock under reasonably good
management and care prepared
from farm account records and rec
ords of feeding experiments.
Spring and summer pigs to weigh
225 pounds require 15 bushels of
corn, two bushels of oats, 70 pounds
of protein concentrates, four pounds
of alfalfa and one-twelfth of an acre
of pasture.
One hundred hens in one year
need 64 bushels of corn, 56 bushels
of oats, 32 bushels of wheat and 800
pounds of protein concentrates.
From the time they are hatched un
til they are ready for the dinner
table, turkeys, 100 of them, require
25 bushels of corn, 28 bushels of
oats, 13 bushels of wheat, 1,000
pounds of protein concentrate and
400 pounds of alfalfa meal.
To pull plows and other farming
equipment throughout the year,
each horse needs 20 bushels of corn,
35 bushels of oats, 1% tons of hay,
one ton of other roughage and 160
days of pasture. The horse at me
dium work needs one pound of grain
and one pound of hay a day for each
100 pounds of weight. For heavy
work the grain should be increased
to pounds and reduced at least
one-half on idle days.
Development of Broilers
Aided by Use of Lights
The care and feeding of cockerels
destined for sale as broilers is simi
lar to that of chickens raised for
layers with special attention to room
afforded and sanitary conditions of
the enclosures in which they are
kept. The fact that they are to be
sold as broilers does not alter their
requirements unless a special feed
ing ration for fattening purposes Tfc
given during the last 10 days or
two weeks, observes an authority
in the Rural New Yorker.
A ration somewhat higher in pro
tein, however, will stimulate to more
rapid growth. A good chick grow
ing ration should be used and one
of the commercial chick rations of
recognized standing may, perhaps,
be chosen to advantage by one not
well acquainted with chick feeding
and care. An all-mash chick ra
tion with 20 per cent or a little
more protein content is desirable if
preferred to separate feeding of
mash and grains. The dry mash
and water should always be avail
able to the birds while frequent stir
ring of the mash to increase its con
sumption is good practice. All night
lights may also be used to stimu
late early and rapid growth.
Farm Home Equipment
The farm home, as well as the
farm itself, should be considered
when planning for labor-saving ma
chinery and equipment. In too many
cases we find modern, up-to-date
machinery being used on the farm,
while the farm women continue to
do the housework just as their moth
ers and grandmothers did 50 or 100
years ago, notes a writer in Hoard’s
Dairyman. A water system is sug
gested as one of the useful pieces
of equipment that can be installed
in the farm home as it lessens the
drudgery of housekeeping and adds
to the health and happiness of all
members of the farm family.
Rough Shells Are Weak
Usually rough shelled eggs are
the sign of weak shells and indicate
a deficiency of shell building mate
rial in the feed given the laying
flock, points out the Montana Agri
cultural college. The cure is to add
vitamin D to the feed, either
through cod liver oil or green feed.
The latter is especially good if the
grower is not concerned about the
color of egg yolks.
Cows Are “Trample Proof”
Designed to prevent cows from
trampling each other, a folding
guardrail partition forms an indi
vidual stall for each animal in the
dairy barn. While the cows are
being milked all the bars are raised
out of the way. Then the bars are
lowered by one movement, giving
each cow the protection of a stall.—
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Good Feed for Geese
Good feed for geese in the laying
season is a mixture of cracked corn,
wheat and oats with ordinary laying
mash as used for hens fed moist
each noon, according to a writer in
the Montreal Herald. Green food is
essential and the best green food is
well cured clover and alfalfa hay
which has been cut green. Mangels,
turnips and carrots can be used with
fair success although the birds pre
fer alfalfa^ Oats and barley can be
used mixed with other grains.
WHAT to EAT and WHY
Feed Adolescent Correctly or Tragic Consequences
May Result, Warns C. Houston Goudiss; Teeth
Must Receive Special Consideration
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
O FFHAND, it may seem as if there could be very little
connection between a deficient diet during adolescence
and painful childbirth in later years. Yet it has been demon
strated clinically that there is a definite link. It has likewise
been determined that the kind of food which is fed adolescents
has a significant and far-<£
reaching influence upon their
teeth in later life, and in the
case of girls, upon the teeth of
their children when they in
turn become mothers.
Preparation for Parenthood
Adolescence is a difficult period
at best. And if a girl takes an un
balanced diet at
this time, the re
sult may be an un
stable nervous sys
tem, poor physical
development, low
ered vitality and
inability to fight
off infections. This
lack of strong re
sistance may open
the way to dental
disease and to a
variety of other se
rious infections as well.
It has also been established that
if a girl is poorly nourished dur
ing these years of rapid develop
ment, there may not be the slight
est indication of that fact until she
first becomes an expectant moth
er. Then she will pay for her
mother’s lack of nutrition knowl
edge.
Results of Calcium Deficiency
If her diet has been deficient in
calcium, for example, her pelvic
bones may be imperfectly devel
oped, so that she suffers unneces
sarily during the birth of her
child. And if liberal amounts of
calcium have not been stored in
her body, she may be caljed upon
to make needless sacrifices from
her own body in the interests of
her child. It is well known that if
an expectant mother’s diet is not
abundantly supplied with calcium,
the substance will be withdrawn
from her own bones and teeth in
an effort to meet the needs of the
developing child.
An Aid fo Dental Health
For although expectant mothers
are not always aware of this im
portant fact, it is true that the
first or “baby” teeth are devel
oped within the jaw during pre
natal life, and the foundations for
the second set are also laid at this
time.
Unless the expectant mother’s
diet is very generously supplied
with calcium, so as to allow ade
quate amounts for the baby’s
teeth and bones, nature will en
deavor to meet the child’s require
ments by sacrificing calcium from
the mother’s own body. If she
has no adequate reserve, then she
may be forced to lose “a tooth for
every child,” or suffer even more
serious dental ills.
Calcium-Rich Foods Required
Leading nutrition authorities
hold that the average American
diet is more deficient in calcium,
perhaps, than in any other single
nutrient. This is especially likely
to be the case in the diet of the
adolescent. For at that time, boys
develop prodigious appetites and a
tremendous capacity for carbohy
drates or energy-producing foods,
while girls become extremely fin
icky. Either they do not take
enough food at meals, or they tend
to eat too many rich mixtures be
tween meals. As a result, the
diet of both boys and girls is
likely to contain an abundance
of meat, fish, highly milled ce
reals and other refined foods, with
inadequate amounts of the foods
rich in calcium.
The Adolescent's Diet
To balance the diet properly,
these necessary protein and en
ergy foods should be supplement
ed by milk and cheese which are
rich in calcium; by green leafy
vegetables which are also a good
source; by eggs and fruits, valued
for their minerals and vitamins;
and by bulky foods which supply
sufficient cellulose to help pro
mote regular health habits.
Mothers of adolescent children
should make a conscientious and
determined effort to feed them a
diet rich in calcium and vitamins
A, C and D—the substances re
quired, especially, for maintaining
sound, healthy teeth. If milk and
succulent fruits and vegetables
figure prominently in the daily
menus of the adolescent girl, they
will go a long way toward helping
to correct the “choosy” attitude
toward food from which many old
er children suffer.
And if careful attention to diet
is coupled with careful attention
to sound hygienic habits, the
health of our 'teen-age boys and
girls will be greatly improved,
Pretty Workaday Fashions
TOURING the indoor season to
^ come, make plenty of bright
new workaday clothes for your
self and your daughter. Here’s a
design for charming aprons to
wear over your own dark house
frocks for protection and pretti
ness. And a simple, flare-skirted
dress for school girls, so becom
ing and practical that just one of
it will never be enough.
Charming School Frock.
This is an awfully good style for
growing girls who incline to be a
bit lanky. The puff sleeves, flared
skirt and small waistline, drawn
in by a belt at sides and back,
give them just the right lines. The
high neckline, finished by a little
round collar, covers up their col
lar bones and looks so well under
young faces. This is a diagram
design, therefore can be finished
in a few hours. Make it of velvet
een, flannel, jersey, wool plaid,
gingham, linen.
Three-Way Apron Design.
Two comfortable pinafore styles,
so cut that they won’t slip off at
the shoulders, and a sweet little
tie-around, are yours in this smart
design that will help to solve many
of your Christmas gift problems.
Anyway you take it, or make it,
this flaring, tiny-waisted apron de
sign is a delight to make and to
wear. Dimity, percale, dotted
swiss, organdie and batiste, in
white, dainty prints or pastels, are
pretty fabrics for aprons.
The Patterns.
No. 1625 is designed for sizes 6,
8, 10, 12 and 14 years. Size 8 re
quires 2 Vi yards of 39-inch mate
rial; *1% yards of braid; % yard

and they will be more adequately
prepared to assume the duties of
parenthood.
Correct Dental Hygiene
It is vitally important that the
proper care be given to the teeth
and mouth. But it is quite unlikely
that a correct routine will be fol
lowed unless mothers offer tact
ful advice and suggestions very
frequently. For while the tiny
child has his teeth brushed for
him, and the young school child
has his tooth-brushing ritual su
pervised, too often the adolescent
is left to his own devices in this
respect. That is a great mistake,
as adolescents are sometimes
careless in the care of their teeth.
Mothers must see to it that
there are two toothbrushes, one
for night and one for morning, so
that it is never necessary to use
a soggy brush. They must watch
when tiie supply of tooth paste or
powder runs low, and see that it is
replaced. For it is surprising how
few children can be persuaded to
brush their teeth properly without
an agreeable dentifrice! Mothers
should take care to choose a den
tifrice that will preserve or re
store luster in the teeth. For ado
lescents are extremely sensitive
about their appearance and they
mast not be allowed to permit
dingy teeth to spoil their smiles.
If mothers will feed their ado
lescents a correct diet and super
vise their daily dental care, the
coming generation will not only
be more attractive to look at but
should enjoy more abundant
health.
Answers to Questions
Mrs. G. B. A.—Yes, there is a
substance called cholesterol, and
it is a vital constituent of nerve
tissue, and is also found in the
blood. Foods rich in cholesterol
include egg yolk, liver, kidneys
and sweetbreads.
