Dietrich Sees
Happiness In
Jealousy

BERLIN, Aug. 8 QN.SJ.
"If you want to be happy, be
jealous"
This is the advice given to
married men and women by
Marlene Dietrich, exotic Ger
man film star, in an article
published here. She said:
"The theory that jealousy is
the wrecker of marriages is en-
tireIy wrong. Looking around
among my acquaintance for
proof, 1 find that the happiest
women are those whose love is
'peppered' with jealousy.
"The easy-gOing wife who
doesn't care what her husband
is doing, who leaves his hands
free, soon loses contact with
him and mutual alienation is
the consequence"
A grain of jealousy, Miss
Dietrich holds, is more essential
to a Woman's makeup than the
coStlieSt cosmetics.

for his death-defying climb 10
miles above the surface of the

Wearing the same battered
panama hat which sat atop his
curly, greying hair on the first

away scientific assistants and
workers at the Dubendorf air
field, preferring to do most of the
preparatory work himself. He
said:
"In the stratosphere one does
not always know what might
happen. The wind sometimes
reaches a velocity of 12O miles
an hour. It is quite conceivable
we may be blown clear to Africa.
For this reason, we shall have

him to Dubendorf Field the huge
white ball-like "Nacelle" which,
equipped with delicate scientific
instruments, will be Slung IN
