WHO’S
THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
N EW YORK.—Joseph C. Grew,
ambassador to Japan, got his
start by crawling into a cave and
getting a half-nelson on a tiger. No

oka and to tell him that “The Amer-
v ican people are firmly determined in
x certain matters.”
About that tiger. Just outof Har
vard, the young Bostonian headed
for Singapore, to piece out hjs sheep
skin with a tiger skin. He hunted
big game for two years in southern
Asia, engaging in a great deal of
jungle milling before he found th$
open door in China—the entrance to
the tiger’s cave which was his gate
way to a distinguished diplomatic
career. *-
When the tiger story was pub-
t lished, it caught the eye of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt, bat it
was a later bear story which
really stirred his interest. Young
Mr. Grew took three straight
falls from an angry bear. Nat
urally, T. R. saw in that the
makings of a diplomat. Cables
the next day routed the bear-
wrangler and tiger-tilter into a
lifetime career in diplomacy,
starting a post with the Egyp
tian consulate-general at Cairo.
He was paced steadily on up
through posts at Mexico City, Petro-
grad, Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen
and Berne. He is rounding 60, 36
years in the diplomatic service, tall,
erect, weathered, graying. His
durable career typewriter has come
along with him down the years, and
on it he raps out his terse reports to
the state department. Bear-wran-
' gling, diplomacy and this and that
has left him with only one good ear,
but it serves to register a bigger ear
ful than most diplomats get with
two.
Mrs. Grew is a granddaughter of
Commodore Perry, who opened
Japan to the western world—or vice
versa. Living with them at the em
bassy is their daughter, Mrs. Cecil
Lyon, with her two children.
YTERNE MARSHALL was born
* and grew up in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and for 26 years has been
editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
m »f . He likes to
Scnbe Stay* Put, stay put> ^
Believes the U, S. thinks the U.

do the same.
' In New York, he becomes the or
ganizer and director of the No For
eign War Committee, which puts
him in the opposite corner to Wil
liam Allen White, the other sage of
mid-western ' newspapering, who
heads the Committee to Defend
America. Not that Mr. White wants
war, but their ideas are so opposed
that they already are pumping
large-caliber editorials at each other,
Mr. MarshaU lost one war.
For his courageous anti-graft
campaign in Cedar Rapids, be
was awarded the Pulitzer prize,
on May 4, 1938. But while the
/ cheers were still echoing, the
Iowa Supreme court, the next
- day, knocked out his graft
charges against 31 persons. He
kept on slugging, however, and
is highly esteemed in those parts
as a self-starting, hard-hitting
editor.
He was in London in 1911, writing
for the London Chronicle, returned
home and later left his newspaper
desk for a stretch of machine-gun
ning in the big war. ^ He didn’t like
it and now says enough is enough.
He is the father of six children.
N O CUSTOMER who ever dropped
in at Jacques De Sieyes’ Fifth
avenue perfume shop for a spot of
“fleur d’amour” would ever have
thought of the elegant M. De Sieyes
as a fighting man. But that’s the
way it is with the French—elegant,
but tough, on occasion. M. De
Sieyes was a flying ace in the World
war, lost a leg, was wounded five
times and is now looking for a re
turn engagement as he serves as the
personal representative of Gen.
Charles De Gaulle, to rally the “free
French” in this country. Just now,
. with three other members of Gen
eral De Gaulle’s American commit
tee, he gives vehement assurance
that the present political machina
tions of the Nazis will consolidate
France and steel it for final resist
ance.
M. De Sieyes was a classmate
and intimate friend of General
De Gaulle at the St. Cyr military
academy. They lost touch with
each other during the World war
and M. De Sieyes has not seen
his old friend since he left Paris
in 1920. ' But he cabled the gen
eral when the latter made a
new, base in London and issued
his stirring appeal for the sup
port of free Frenchmen through
out the world, pledging un- *
changed loyalty. The result was
his personal representation of
the general here.

This imposing array of Italian Breda guns is part of a huge amount
of military equipment captured by the British forces in Egypt in skir
mishes that preceded the big drive of the British imperial army, and
which brought British forces on to the soil of Italian Libya. Picked desert
troops were responsible for this “haul.” The British claim also to have
captured thousands of Italians in Western Egypt.

J F YOU lived within a ten-
mile radius of Priscilla
Lane’s home you’d be more
than likely to encounter her at
one of the neighborhood movie
houses in that vicinity, and to
see her afterward buttonholing
the manager.
The “Four Mothers” star taxes
her movie-making very seriously, so
she quizzes the men who make
money by showing movies. “What
do you think of that picture?” “Does
it seem to be drawing?” “Do the
fans here like tjiat star?” That’s
Amos King Fisher, believed to be
the first man born in the Amish re
ligion ever to enlist in the U. S.
army. Amos rejected the Amisl
faith, which forbids fighting, and
made application for entrance into
the army.
PRISCILLA LANE
the kind of thing Priscilla wants to
know. When she’s working she cov
ers two or three pictures a week;
other times she takes in four or five.

Metro previewed “Flight Com
mand” aboard an airplane in flight
one evening recently; afterward Be
dell Monroe, president of Pennsyl
vania Central Airlines, predicted
that pictures will be shown regularly
on all commercial air lines within
the next few years, as they are on
ocean liners. Robert Taylor stars
in “Flight Command,” a naval avia
tion story.
—&—
We’re to have “The Trial of Mary
Dugan” again, with Robert Young
in the leading male role. Remem
ber it when Norma Shearer made it
nine years ago? Laraine Day will
play “Mary Dugan.” (You probably
saw her in “Foreign Correspond-
ent.”) ^
Edward J. Peters, chief engineer
of Paramount’s air conditioning de
partment, has perfected a new type
of ice. He calls it “snow ice,” and
because it lasts almost one-third
longer than ordinary ice and re
quires a third less time to produce,
it may affect the commercial ice
industry.
It was developed because Director
Charles Vidor was shooting a scene
in “New York Town” (Fred Mac-
Murray, Mary Martin and Robert
Preston co-starring); bright set
lights striking ordinary transparent
ice in water made the ice invisible
to the camera. Vidor wanted the
ice to show, to emphasize an im
portant story point. Hence the new
ice.
Hollywood’s biggest variety show
—A1 Pearce and His Gang—takes
nine microphones to get their Fri
day broadcasts on the CBS network.
Carl Hoff’s orchestra alone takes
three; Pearce has one, and the rest
of the cast another. Billy Gould gets
a sixth one for his sound effects,
and Wendell Niles has a booth,
equipped with a microphone, of
course, for his closing commercial.
There’s an audience applause mi
crophone, so that we who listen may
. know how much those who are pres
ent are enjoying it, and when Bill
Jordan and George Kent present
their two-piano numbers the ninth
mike is added to the engineer’s prob
lems.
*
Apparently quiz shows are as pop
ular as ever with radio audiences—
two new ones will take to the air
shortly, over the CBS Pacific Net
work. They’re “Don’t Be Personal”
and “Talk Your Way Out of This
One”—studio audiences will partici
pate, and the winners will receive
cash prizes.

Girls who have ambitions to act
on the screen or on the air might-
take a tip from Lurene Tuttle; she
never misses a Helen Hayes broad
cast, because she learns so much
from Miss Hayes, and she studies
Bette Davis’ work in pictures—she
says that when she worked with Miss
Davis, the star gave her many valu
able suggestions on the technique of
acting. Now Lurene’s learning still
more from working with John Barry
more on the Vallee programs.

Miss Had Another Chance
After the Final Good-By
The fellow threatened to commit
suicide every time a certain girl
turned him down. She refused
him again the other night, and the
next morning a messenger boy
called with this note:
“Darling—By the time you read
this, my body will be floating down
the river. Life without you is not
worth while. Shed no tears over
me, but remember I have always
loved you. Good-by for ever.”
The girl went white and nearly
fainted. The boy still remained.
“What are you waiting for?” she
asked.
“The man who gave me that
note said I was to wait for an an
swer,” said the boy.

Today’* popularity
of Doan's Pills, after
many yean of world
wide use, surely must
be accepted as evidence
of satisfactory use.
And favorable public
opinion supports that
of the able physicians
who test the value of
Doan’s under exacting
laboratory conditions.
These physicians, too, approve every word
of advertising you read, the objective of
which is only to^ recommend Doan’s Pills
as a good diuretic treatment for disorder
of the kidney function and for relief of
the pain and worry it causes.
If more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove waste
that cannot stay in the blood without In
jury to health, there would be better un
derstanding of why the whole body suffers
when kidneys lag, and diuretic medica
tion would be more often employed.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warn of disturbed kidney
function. You may suffer nagging back
ache, persistent headache, attacks of diz
ziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffi-
nes« under the eyes—feel weak, nervous,
all played out
Use Doan’s Pills. It is better to rely on
a medicine that has won world-wide ac
claim than on something less favorably
known. Ask your neighbor!
