All, ROASTING EARS!
THAT'S LII DAGOVER
German Actress 'ConquerS'
City After Arrival
in Plane.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

American farm life is pretty
near heaven"
That's the idea Of Lii Dagover,
German stage and movie star, who
is rubbing elbows with Hoosiers to-
day.
After conquering indianapolis, she
left for Linton, Ind, where she
placed a marker on the spot mark
ing the center Of population.
Before reaching Indianapolis, Miss
Dagover had to conquer rain and
storm. Her plane was forced down
Thursday night on an emergency
landing field near Shelbyville, Ind.
Seated in an old-fashioned arm
chair, the German star was rocking
contentedly in farm house near
the landing field when I arrived
with rescue party from the Indi-
ana theater.
American Farm Heaven
She looked longingly at pile of
Indiana roasting ears as she talked
about her work to the lady of the
farmhouse.
"Oh, this life" she said extending
her hands, This life on the farm.
So peaceful. So far away from the
noise Of city life.
Il believe that the American
farmer is pretty near heaven"
She was told that the farmers
near the landing field made their
living mostly by raising corn and
watermelonS.
"Watermelons," she said, THAT is
my weakness. I could eat heaps
all the time"
She told me that she had come
to America to make pictures for
Warner Brothers and First Ma
tional.
Rubs Elbows With All
81 really love America" she said.
"And 1 will have to conquer her or
go back to Germany. 1 want Amer
lea to love me.
"And that is not so hard, because
I only ~[igh hundred pounds"
Probably no foreign actress ever
has become acquainted with this
country as Lii Dagover is becoming
acquainted.
She is rubbing elbows with all
people and she is making no per-
sonal appearances.
Calls on Leslie
Last night she entertained news
paper men at dinner at the Lincoln
hotel.

Kitchen Has
Full Set of
BeautifierS
BY ALICE HART

Every woman knows the appeal
of the department store beauty
counters with their graceful bottles,
boxes in delicate pastel wrappings,
irresistible perfumes tempting the
purchaser.
Has it occurred to you that in
your own home-on the shelves Of
your own kitchen, in fact-you have
a cosmetic supply that for practical
results rivals the extensively pack
aged offerings of stores and beauty
parlors?
A little thought on the subject
will convince you that you can cut
corners on your beauty budget with
out sacrifice to your personal at
tractiveness.
Everyone has these Kitchen cos
metics" at hand Many Of them
form important ingredients in COM
mercial products sold at high prices.
Here's Few Tips
Here are few of the beauti-
fiers to be found on most kitchen
shelves:
Lemons (for lemon juice, olive
oil, milk, honey, cucumbers for
cucumber juice, buttermilk, vim
egar, bran, oatmeal, table salt, eggs,
boraX, ice and cornmeal
OF course, you have them! Every
one does. And to gain the bene-
fits of these simple beautifiers it is
not necessary to compound compli-
Gated mixtures, requiring time and
patience. Most of them may be
used just as they come from the
kitchen containers.
If you will keep a supply of table
salt convenient in the bathroom the
morning shower or cold bath can
be made twice as invigorating.
Rub Salt Over Body
Rub the dry salt over the body
before stepping under the shower.
You will find this gives the skin a
tingling, exhilarating sensation.
A handful of boraX tossed into
the tub will soften hard water.
Common baking soda, used the same
way, makes the bath restful and
relaxing.
You can soften water to use on
your face by boiling one pound of
bran in a gallon of water for half
an hour. Strain this bran water
and add enough to a basin of tepid
water to make it look milky The
bran water has several cosmetic
properties.

|. Previous attempts TO curb pro-
duction IL the giant field, which
last week reached a production av-
erage OF nearly 100000 barrels
daily, have failed due to lack OF
unanimous cooperation from pro-
ducers. The latest effort vas
launched at the request Of Okla
homa operators, who started a vol
untary shutdown movement before
Governor w. II. Murray closed all
but stripper wells in Oklahoma by
martial law. The meeting was call
ed BY Judge Charles Brachfield OF

association.
Chosen TO preside at the meeting
here today was Capt. J. r. Lucey
OF Dallas, independent operator who
served as chairman Of the arbitra-
ton committee that a month ago
tried to put into effect a volun-
tary utilization plan In the field.
That plan. proposed by Tom Z.
Cranfill of Dallas. would have lin
tied wells in the field to 800 bar
rels daily. n later was abandoned
after owners OF numerous offset
wells refused ID Join in the plan
and other well owners reopened to
prevent drainage Of their own oil.
Previous %proration orders Of the
Texas railroad commission either
had been suspended by means Of
court i%njunctions or we're flouted
by producers who pointed TO the
commissions lack of enforcement
power.
