★ A Picture Without Men
★ Remembered for Another
if Right Up Raft’s Alley
By Virginia Vale
ft' | 'HE Women,** the movie
A version of the very suc
cessful play of the same name,
is going to be something to see.
Norma Shearer, Rosalind Rus
sell and Joan Crawford head
the cast, which includes those
excellent actresses, Phyllis
Povah and Florence Nash, and
one hundred others, all girls.
Women will want to see the pic
ture, if only to see the clothes—
super - special frocks have been
whipped up for their benefit. One of
Joan Crawford’s is black velvet,
split to the waistline, and worn over
very tight black knickers.
And men will want to see it, both
to see some of our best screen ac
tresses trying to outshine each
other, and lb see what cut-throat
battles women can get into over
men.
If there were any other cut-throat
battles while the picture was being
made—little things like arguments
over billing, scene-stealing, and
things like that—the great public
will never know.

Roscoe Karns has played featured
roles in more than 100 motion pic
tures, but is best remembered for
one he didn’t play, in a series of
pictures in which he didn’t appear.
For years his friends and his fans
have insisted on remembering him
as the fight manager in the “Leath
er Pusher” series, in which Regi
nald Denny starred. But it was not
Karns, but Hayden Stevenson, who
played the fight manager. The two
men don’t even faintly resemble
each other.
Karns is mystified, but at last is
resigned. Just the other day, when
he arrived at the studio to work in
“Everything’s on Ice,” an assistant
cameraman hailed him with, “It’s
been a long time, Roscoe, since we
worked in the ‘Leather Pushers’ to
gether!”
George Raft’s performance in the
new James Cagney picture, “Each
Dawn I Die,” won him a new con
tract and an assignment to do a re
make of “The Patent Leather Kid”
(in which Richard Barthelmess once
made a come-back,) as his first pic
ture. He is to make three a year.
The hero of the picture is a prize
fighter, which is right up the Raft
alley—in his days as a fighter he
fought 22 professional bouts.

News of radio programs that take

Paul Whiteman’s band is Alma
Mater to nine men who are now
leading their own orchestras, Tom

They were with him 10 or 11 years
ago. Another member of the band
at *hat time was Bing Crosby, who
sang with the band but couldn’t
play; just sat holding an instru
ment so that he’d look as if he be
longed there. Too bad they can’t all
be gathered together for one more
performance, with the great White-
man holding the baton.

SANDWICHES MAINSTAYS OF SUMMER MENUS
(See Recipe Below)
'Make Mine a Ham on Rye*
Sandwiches in all their delightful
variety are the mainstays of sum
mer menus. Grilled sandwiches
make a “one-dish meal” for lunch
or supper; substantial sandwiches
with hearty fillings make a satisfy
ing picnic lunch;
and dainty “tea
sandwiches,”
served with a
frosted beverage,
are perfect for a
party.
But it keeps a

ferent they must be, if they’re to
retain the appetite appeal which
makes them popular.
Success With Sandwiches.
1. Use bread that is a day old.
2. Cream the butter—don’t melt it.
3. Whatever the filling, use plenty
of it.
4. Keep sandwiches moist for sev
eral hours by wrapping them in wax
paper or in a clean cloth wruilg out
of hot water.
5. Remember to use a variety in
breads, as well as fillings—whole
wheat, rye, graham, oatmeal, brown
bread, raisin bread, nut bread and
orange bread all make delicious
sandwiches.
6. Use left-over sandwiches for
next day's lunch or supper by
“french tcasting” them—merely dip
the sandwiches in beaten egg, pan
fry them on both sides, and serve
hot with a garnish of watercress or
sweet pickle.
Raisin Orange Filling for
Sandwiches.
(Makes 8-10 sandwiches)
2 cups raisins
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
4 tablespoons orange juice

dium sized loaf of bread lengthwise
in three long
slices. Place crisp
lettuce leaves on

onnaise and place
dressing side
down, on the chicken. Add crisp
broiled bacon and thin sliced toma
toes as the sandwich filling on this
second layer. Spread tomatoes with
mayonnaise dressing and top with
third long slice of bread. Mix 3 to 4
packages softened cream cheese
with one tablespoon prepared mus
tard and frost the loaf. Garnish
with ripe olives and parsley. Slice
as for any ordinary loaf of bread.
Serve on individual plates.

For a Higher Effect
Interior decorators have now de
cided that the use of a deep color
on ceilings raises them, instead of
lowers, as has been usually thought.
A new trick is to carry the side
wall paper up onto the ceiling about
10 inches, instead of dropping the
ceiling color down on the sides. This
creates an optical illusion of greater
I height.
By EDITH BRANDIS
CTUDENTS of the human mind tell
^ us that children may be and
often are “conditioned” toward re
sentment and bitterness when they
are very young, by—can you believe
it?—their mothers. Later this con
ditioning which is an actual change
in nerve structure is indicated by
a bad disposition, an unpleasant per
sonality. We say of such a person,
“He has a chip on his shoulder.”
There will be an almost infinite
number of incidents in the early life
of almost any child, which, if wrong
ly dealt with, will form fighting hab
its. Let us consider a simple, un
derstandable, all too common ex
ample.
A little boy is making something
he calls a boat. He is happy and
intent on his piece of work. His
mother speaks to him. When he
does not respond instantly to her
bid for his attention she snatches
the toy away from his hands in a
surge of anger. She is, she thinks,
teaching her child instant obedience
to and respect for his elders. If
he is a child of spirit he, instinctive
ly, will respond to anger with,anger.
If he cannot give vent to his re
sentment at being interrupted—of
course he must never fight back at
Mother—he will have a thwarted
feeling associated with the breaking
of his concentration and the snatch
ing away of his project.
Should similar incidents repeated
ly occur, the resentment he will feel
and the entire train of reactions
which will follow can hardly fail to
become deep-seated. They are now
involuntary—a fixed habit. When
this stage is reached, nothing but a
careful arrangement of situations in
which the child receives sympathet
ic consideration and makes desir
able reactions as a natural conse
quence will bring him back to nor
mal behavior.
Now there is a hopeful thing about
habit formation. If it be true that
! the child may be and often is “con-
I ditioned” toward undesirable beha
vior, it is also true that he may be
conditioned for peaceful, harmoni
ous and productive living.
Home Is First School.
The mother, who is the child’s first
teacher, and his best if she be wise
and resourceful, should understand
the value of the early plans and
activities he sets up for himself.
They are his preparation for the
larger plans, greater productivity
and development of initiative when
he is older. During his moments of
; intense concentration she must try
! never to interfere. She must see
that a certain amount of his time
is used by and for himself without
interruption. Respect for his eld
ers may be taught him in connection
i with other matters to which they
are more properly related.
I The child whose individuality is
recognized and respected, whose ini
tiative is encouraged, will form de
sirable habits of self-expression. He
will enter the world with a self-
confidence and an inner control that
will enable him to meet his prob
lems with courage and competence.
Deep within himself he will know,
he will remember, that he has
planned, he has wrought, he has
achieved. To successful living there
is no greater asset than to be able to
say, “In the past I have planned
things and made my plans come
true.” Following such a statement
will always be this: “What I have
done I can do again.”

Spotless Guatemala City
At an altitude of about 5,000 feet
above sea level, and with a 170,000
population, Guatemala City, capital
of Guatemala, is an attractive spot
in tropical America. The name, of
Indian origin, means “permanency-
place of ancestors.” Of real inter
est are the palaces, temples, pot
tery, statues, monuments and bur
ial places, mysteries of dead and
gone ages. Broad streets and
snowy houses are unusually attrac
tive, for it is a spotless city. The
market place attracts visitors who
find most enjoyable the plac« where
Indians of many tribes congregate.
For many miles, these men and
women have jogged along patiently,
bringing their handicraft and pot
tery to be sold at very reasonable
figures. One may determine, if edu
cated in their tribal traditions, to
distinguish which tribe they belong
to by the aprons of the men and
the blouses of the women, each
having different weave and pattern.
Largest Canal Lock
The Davis lock in the Saulte
Sainte Marie canal is not the longest
lock in the world. Two of the locks
in that canal, the third or Davis, and
the fourth locks are 1,350 feet long
and 80 feet wide. One of the locks
in the new Welland canal, the guard
lock at Humberstone, 1,380 feet, is
the longest in the world. There are
no locks at the Soo which will al
low two 600-foot freighters to pass
through at the same time.
