Epecial Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February 20
(NANA).-If every husband sued
every wife whose name is found on a
dressing room door or Scrawled on a
billiard room wall or a chimneypiece,
what a havoc there would be in movie
land!
When Capt Wallace Aver sues his
wife, Mae Aver, for divorce because her
name is carved on the dressing room
door of Lew Cody, he betrays his
ignorance of village ways.
Autograph scrawling is the best thing
Hollywood does. Inside grand pianos
you'll find fountain pens have been at
work demoliShing the pristine gilt sur
faces with the signatures of the famous
and infamous.
Marie Provost has an entire room
given over to autographs, and should all
the husbands and wives use that one
as a reason, why-well, the World War
wouldn't be in it.
Calvin Coolidge, visiting the Oscar
Hammerstein set yesterday morning,
sent a ripple through studio circles.
Uniforms were hitched bit tighter at
the waist line and La Segal trilled a
bit higher and sweeter.
This venture in movie music presen-
tation is one Of the most ambitious of
the new regime. The former President
was fascinated by the technical descrip-
ton of the processes Notwithstanding
and so on.
About him milled yellow-faced ladies
with busting taffeta dresses and blond
ined curls. Overhead bloomed thou
sands Of linen blossoms, and among
them the high-powered lamps of the
set threw down an intolerable heat.
But Calvin Coolidge remained cool and
chafted casually.
A handsome young black-eyed woman
entered the set, Localities" do not
seem to know her. Yet she was singing
the lead in Rio Rita" when heard it
in New York three years ago. Ethlyn
Terry came out to movieland to become
talkie star, and for some strange rea-
son wasn't nabbed UP.
Now she is making tests in Holly
wood for the lead in the forthcoming
Hammerstein operetta in New York. If
the tests are satisfactory, the lady will
oe shipped back to Manhattan for re-
hearSals.
This is a new procedure But cast
aS-cast-can seems to be the order Of
the day in this village.
A new landscape gardener who is
doing quite well in these parts tells me
he built up his clientele patching up
the gardens of actors and authors
homes to keep them from the inevitable
lawsuit
Conversations go something like this ::
Now, am moving out of this house
in fortnight. and I don't want to be
sued about this garden-see? So l
thought If you could patch it up, make
it look as if it had been cared for scrup-
ulously all year around, I'd make it

MODERN FARMERS UNDERSTAND
AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
BY SAMUEL WESLEY LONG
Publicity Director, Pennsylvania
Farm Bureau Federation.

IVY HILE the trend is increasing
/. wv ly in the direction of special
ization by those engaged in
the professions, and industry, COM
merce and business, the scope Of
things of which the farmer must have
a working knowledge is steadily Wild
ening.
The agriculturist, as he is some
times called, must understand not
,only the fundamentals Of farming, but
also a lot about machinery, its opera
,'tion and maintenance. The spread Of
rural identification, with the use Of
electric current for farm purposes,
makes it necessary that the farmer
increase his range of knowledge by
learning the rudiments, at least, Of
electricity and its application on the
farm and in the dairy. Also. the mod
ern farmer must be somewhat of a
chemist, though he would hesitate to
lay claim to such a title. Soils, fer
tilizers and other things essential to
farming. however, require that the
.husbandmen have an acquaintance
with chemistry.
Among the demands made on the
.present-day farmer is that for a prac-
,tical understanding Of agricultural en-
cheering. Along with the miner, the
quarryman and the civil engineer, the
tiller of the soil has found it neces-
sary to acquire knowledge Of the uses
of explosives. Like an engineer, the
j farmer must study and solve drain
/: age problems and rid his fields Of
stumps and boulders as is done in the
: case Of the clearing of the right Of
, Knowing how to use dynamite and
: prompt action have saved many
(, farmers crops from food waters.
! Stones blasted in fields are used to
: fill in soft spots in lanes and other
wise for roads or as material for the
foundations Of small farm buildings.
Ponds or reservoirs for the storage
of water to be used in case of fire
have been made with dynamite by
farmers in many localities where the
fire apparatus of nearby towns serves
rural districts in emergencies. Good
fishing has been assured by some
farmers by blasting both shallow and
deep pools in streams running through
their lands. Patches Of swamp near
farmhouses have been drained to
eliminate the breeding places of mos.
quitoes.
Dynamite is used on many farms to
correct the courses of meandering
creeks and brooks that menace crops
or make swamp of good pasture lands.

Wide Use Of Amulefs

Amulets, writes Frank b. Vizetelly,l
editor Of the New Standard dictionary,
were used once not only for the pro-
lection Of men and women, but also Of
cattle. The so-called Antonius medal
lions were very much In demand for
this purpose, and were hung upon
horses, asses, and oxen, for Antony Of
Padua had been the patron Of the
horse and the ass in his day. Cow

later times to help the herdsmen to-

Growth of Sand Dunes

The sand dunes along the shores Of
lakes are formed by the wind. A stir
breeze blowing along the beach carries
some sand with it. 1t meets some OBJ
stacle, a piece of driftwood or perhaps
merely a tuft of grass. Some Of the
sand is deposited and tiny dune il
formed. More and more sand Is added
until large mound is formed, some
times rising to height of 300 feet.
The wind not only builds up dunes
but tears them down, SO that the sand
dunes are constantly changing In form
and position.

MITY-BRED folks classify corn
as something on the luncheon
or dinner menu. But out on

some very delicious breakfast dishes

which is good fresh, straight from
the can, or in combination with
other foods.
