LOUIS 3, MISSOURI Maker* of GROVE'S COID TABLETS Louise Randall Pierson \\7’HEN “Roughly Speaking” hit the stands last year I started right in yelping about it. As I re member, my words were: "One of the most fascinating books I've ever read. As American as Boston baked beans. Charac ters sturdy as Plymouth rock. Mrs. Pierson, American moth er, could, if she had the stuff to do it with, lick Hitler single- handed, as she’s licked wealth and poverty and brought up five children. There’s a woman I’d fly thousands of miles to meet.” She reminded me of it when she got here for the filming of her book. Essence of America Mrs. Pierson, whose life story, “Roughly Speaking,” was recently completed by Warners, with Roz Russell in the autobiographical role, is a person that you, too, have met, whether you know it or not. She’s America. Born rich, pampered by a father who dressed like and faintly be lieved he might be King Edward (even to the beard, which he bril- liantined), Louise was dumped out on a coldly realistic world at the age of 10, flat broke. Returning from his funeral, her mother called her two daughters to gether in the sunroom. "The trouble is,” she said, “your fatffer indorsed notes.” There didn’t seem any use in sit ting around bawling, so before long Louise was going great guns as a secretary ($12 a week), when she met her first husband-to-be, Rodney —"six feet two, tailored by Brooks, and had won six Latin prizes at Yale.” Rodney was making $66.66 a month in a bank, so the two went to live in an $18 a month flat, where she had four children in four years. When Rodney really got into the chips the family moved to Ossining, where Louise plunged into every thing from politics to the little thea ter. Tragedy struck in the form of infantile paralysis, temporarily laying low all four children. Louise Jr., never did fully recover. Rodney decided one day he’d had enough. “I’m moving to the Yale club,” he declared. So without too much ado she got a divorce, another job, another hus band, and in due time another baby. Husband No. 2, Harold Pierson, fought with the Canadians in the last war. Kindred Spirit* He was as nuts as she. “I’ve always had a weakness for big men with black hair and blue eyes,” says Louise. “Besides, he was romantic, charming, irresponsi ble, generous.” He was also rich, owning the vast Pierson green houses and nurseries near Tarry- town. Three years later they were broke. Harold got a WPA job in the New York City parks department, which led to the superintendency of land scape construction at the world’s fair. r She had always wanted to write letters to newspapers, heckling edi torial writers. One of these missives she aimed at Arthur Krock, political editor of the New York Times. Amused, he showed it to his friend Max Schuster, who promptly sent Louise a check and told her to start writing a book. At first, she tells me, she thought it was a gag, but when the check didn’t bounce she realized she was stuck. The result was “Roughly Speaking.” She said it was the hardest work she ever did, and she’s worked hard at everything from scrubbing floors to running a 37-foot boat. The book was an overnight smash (I threw at least five of my hats in the air), and three studios began bidding. Warners wired her: “Will you ac cept $35,000 for ‘Roughly Speaking* and a contract at $300 a week, with expenses paid both ways?” An swered Louise: “Three hundred a week not enough—need new tooth brush.” Replied Warners: "How about $500, then?” To which Lou ise wired: “Okay. That will pay for toothbrush and new hair-do, too.” Louise Randall Pierson seer s to be a feature at Warners. That first contract was torn up and a much fancier one rigged up. She and Har old bought a place at Santa Monica. If you’ve read the book, “Rough ly Speaking,” I don’t have to urge you to see the picture. If you haven’t, I envy you the treat in store for you. • • • • Look Oat, New York Lee Shubert is on his way here to complete arrangements for “Sweet Surrender,” a musical which is about the battle between Monterey and Los Angeles years ago. It will feature Leo Carrillo. The lyrics kid the pants off everything in Los An geles. That alone will cause it to run in San Francisco a year. It would be too good to be true, hav ing two plays succeed here before they hit Broadway. Remember “Song of Norway” opened on the west coast Fruit, Meringue and Cupcakes . . . Dessert Trio (See Recipes Below) Dessert Simplicity Desserts that are delicious in spite of their simplicity and yet hearty enough to satisfy appetites whipped to their keenest by sharp wintry weather are the order of the day. We’re concentrating on des serts that take up little time and effort, little of the precious, rationed sugar, but use plenty of fruits in season. There are many recipes among them that use eggs or milk to fortify diets shy in these two important foods. The first is an especially quickly prepared dessert that is satisfying but not too heavy: Fruit Cupcakes Slice plain bakery cupcakes into wedges, cutting only half way through. Open gently and fill the cavity with meringue and fruit. Bits of fruit left over from breakfast or lunch may be used. Served with cof fee or another hot beverage, these make a tempting climax to heavier fall and winter meals. Butterscotch Rice Pudding. (Serves 6) 14 cup rice 2 cups milk 14 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter s 14 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon lemon juice 14 teaspoon vanilla 14 cup chopped dates Wash rice and add salt and rice to the milk. Bring to a boil and then simmer 25 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter, add brown sugar and cook over a low flame until very dark brown but not burned. Add the caramel mixture to the rice and milk and stir until dissolved. Re move from heat and add lemon juice, vanilla and dates. Pour into a wet bowl and chill. When cold, this pudding can be unmolded. Serve plain or with cream. Pears are in season and are good to serve with cake or just plain fresh or stewed. Here they are com bined into cake: Pear Cake. 14 cup shortening 14 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup sifted flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 14 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 14 teaspoon lemon extract Topping: 10 pear halves, pared and stewed 14 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Cream shortening, add sugar and cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Add flour which has been sifted with baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Lynn Says Saving Sugar: Syrups may be used in cookies while sugar is saved for cakes. The texture of cookies is not affected enough by syrup in place of sugar so that it is perfectly all right to use it. Use % cup honey or corn syrup in place of each cup of sugar, and add 2 tablespoons of flour to each cup called for in recipe. Fruits may be sweetened with jams and jellies or honey. Add 'sweetening last with a pinch of salt to make the most of it. Prepared pudding and gelatin mixes may be used with unbaked sweet cooky crusts to save sugar in making pies. Thicken left-over fruit syrup from canned fruit with cornstarch and use as sauce for puddings. Make use of dried and fresh fruits for their natural sugar con tent. Substitute fresh fruits in sea son and custards for cakes and pastries as often as possible.

Released by Western Newspaper Union, Granttand Rice ’ I 'HE toughest sporting job for 1949 -*■ belongs to the committee who must make the next nominations for baseball’s Hall of Fame. There are now from twenty to thirty present and former stars who stand along the bor der i line, where the dividing margin is thinner than a ra zor blade — such men as Jimmy Col lins, Roger Bresna- han, Mel Ott, Bill Klem, Clark Grif fith, Frank Chance, Johnny Evers, Ed Walsh, Fred Clarke, Miller Huggins, Lefty Grove, Carl - Hubbell, Rube Wad dell—on and on. Most of these players, numbering- twenty or thirty, will have to wait for another year. All left deep im pression on baseball fans and their mark in baseball history, but only s few can be chosen. Any Hall of Fame that becomes too crowded and has too many names, loses at least a part of its enduring value. But the long list of available names still left, proves again why baseball for over sixty years has contributed so much to the sporting side of American life. There are any number of old stars who won’t even get a vote—who won’t even be mentioned—and yet these are not so far away from top rank. Your correspondent has been covering and watching baseball for over forty years, yet the problem of selecting leaders from the long pa rade of stars becomes a blur. "How,” we keep muttering, "can anyone leave so-and-so out?” You might suggest that if a ball player isn’t a standout, why should he be considered? But what are you going to do about so many standouts—at least so many who have given so much skill and color to the game that they wind up in a photo finish? Ed Delehanty, Frank Frisch, Dizzy Dean, Mickey Coch rane, Herb Penn&ck, Gabby Hart nett, once again it is on and on. Frank Chance For example, there’s Frank Chance, named as "The Peerless Leader” of the old Cubs. Chance led his Cubs to four pennants and two world series from 1906 through 1910. His Cubs set an all-time, up- to-date winning record in 1906. The Cubs of Chance, the Giants of Mc- Graw and the Athletics of Connie Mack were among the greatest of all ball clubs over a period of years. It was F.P.A., also known as Franklin Pierre Adams, who sound ed the best remembered tocsin of Chance and his Cubs. After more than thirty years, where our mem ory may be vague, we recall these lines after the Cubs had slaughtered the Giants— “These are the saddest of pos sible words— Tinker to Evers to Chance. Trio of bearcats—and fleeter than birds— Tinker and Evers and Chance. Pricking forever our gonfalon babble. Forcing a Giant to hit into a double, Words that are heavy with noth ing but trouble— Tinker to Evers to Chance.” As I recall it, Charles Dryden was the first to call Chance “The Peer less Leader." Later on Charley shortened this title to P. L. Chance was a great fighting field manager. He was a fine first baseman, a dan gerous hitter. But above all a game, scrappy battler, fearing nothing, not even a flock of bean-balls. Gamest Players Which reminds me that the two gamest ballplayers I ever knew were Johnny Evers and Walter Mar- anville. They played together for the Boston Braves of 1914—the over looked team that whipped the fa mous Athletics four straight games. Evers was as smart as he wes game. "The Human Splinter” is a big part of our baseball history. He is now at his old home, Troy, N. Y., and if you get the chance drop him a hello. Pepper Martin was another who belonged in this class. By that I mean any one of the three men tioned would break a leg or a back or a neck to win a ball game—or even to get an extra base. Maybe you can name me a gamer ball player than Evers, Maranville or Martin. Maybe you can—but I doubt it. They were the Three Musketeers of baseball who could take it—no matter what it was—take it and like it. Passing Marvel It is still my belief that Harry Gilmer, Alabama’s crack rifleman, is the best college passer I ever saw, including Sammy Baugh. This might be taken as a rather large order. The Alabama kid, barely 18, weighing from 158 to 160 pounds, narrow-shouldered and thin chested, is the top artist of them all. Gilmer is not only a brilliant long and short passer, accurate to the inch, but he is the only passer I ever saw who can keep nailing a target 50 yards away. mmmmwwwm.. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chlcaco. Released by Western Newepaper Union. Lesson for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. JESUS’ CONCERN FOR ALL LESSON TEXT—Matthew 9:1. 9-1J. 18-2S. GOLDEN TEXT—Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.—Matthew 7:12. What is a man worth? Well, say we, that depends, and then we are prone to undervalue him. Jesus had (and taught) a high regard for the inherent value of man. He saw pos sibilities in all men. He had a love for them. He was concerned about lueir welfare, and they responded Dy an interest in Him. Jesus showed by His dealings with men how wrong are most of the standards and attitudes of the world. With Him there were: I. No Social Barrier (vv. 1, 9, 10). The caste system of some lands, dividing people into social strata which separate men and hinder fel lowship, does not exist in our land. Yet, in practice, we have such lev els which are a formidable barrier in the thinking of many (perhaps most) people. Jesus knew nothing of social bar riers. He ignored them and went Straight to the one in need. In our lesson it was a man of position and wealth who was an outcast among nis people because he was a hated gatherer of taxes for Rome. Jesus saw in him a man of faith and a useful witness for Him. And He not only talked with him, but called him to be His disciple. Phen He went further and, to the astonishment of His critics, went in (o a great feast where many such tnen were gathered. He ate with publicans and sinners, not because He approved of their manner of life, but because He want ed to change it as He changed them. II. No Fear of Criticism (w. 11-13). Many a kind and noble impulse has died a-borning because of the fear of criticism. “What will people say?” has kept many a Christian from speaking to some sinner about his (or her) soul. "The world is too much with us—” and we all too often guide our lives and service by the possible reaction we may receive from those round about us. We did not learn such an attitude from Jesus. His answer to His critics made it clear that there will be no self- righteous, “good enough” people in heaven. The Lord is not even calling them, so long as they trust in their own goodness. He came to seek and to save sinners (v. 13, and Luke 19:10). We, too, may go forward without fear of our critics. That doesn’t mean that we “don’t care what peo ple think” about us. We ought to care, but if their opinion is based on unbelief and self-righteousness, it should certainly not deter us from our all-important business of soul winning. III. No Limitation of Time and Place (vv. 18-22). Often the help of man to those in need is circumscribed by so many regulations that those who most de serve help cannot get it. There are times and places for application forms, and tests must be completed, etc. Doubtless much of this is need ed, but one wonders at times wheth er our charitable impulses have not disappeared under a mountain of red tape. Be that as it may, how interesting it is to see that Jesus met the need when and where it appeared. He was already on one errand of mercy when the sick woman touched His robe. He was not too busy nor too preoccupied to stop and give her a word of help and comfort (v. 22). Is there not a significant lesson here for us in the church? The need is reason enough for the ex tension of our help. The place is anywhere that men are in sadness or sorrow, and the hour is now— when they need our help. IV. No Lack of Power (w. 23-26). How often the human heart is prompted to help, and willing hands are ready to follow its promptings in loving action, yet we find that we cannot do anything.' The need is too great for our meager resources. Our strength does not suffice. We have no money, or the situation is one beyond human help. How wonderful it is then to re member the Lord Jesus! A touch on the hem of His garment in faith made the woman whole (v. 22). A word from Him brought the dead little girl out to face the scorners of Jesus, in the bloom of life and health. Has He lost any of His great pow er? No. He is just “the same yes terday, and today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8). Why not trust Him? Do you need help—spiritual, men tal, physical? He is able. He has no prejudice regarding your social position. He will meet you righl where you are, and right now. H« is seeking the sick and the sinful— “the lost, the last, and the least.’ Look to Him by faith. The great Physician now is near. The sympathizing Jesus: He speaks, the drooping heart to cheer; O hear the voice of Jesus. WHYQUINTUPLETS always do this for CHESICOIDS!
