Didn't Like Title
Even with the extensive public
ity campaign, the studio will still
be faced with the loss of part OF
its audience, which will continue
to believe the picture to be a bit
Of modern propaganda.
This same studio says the
result of uniformed prejudice
against a title recently in the
case of Lives of a Bengal
Lancer" which it considers one OF
its best box-office bets of the year.
Exhibitors in many small towns
reported ordinary business With
this film. Investigating the reason,
they found that the preponder-
ance of those who stayed away
did so because they were under
the impression that it was a hunt
ing picture.
It was the word Bengal that
threw them off. Their only asso-
citation with this word was in con-
nection with Bengal tiger, and
their idea of a Bengal lancer was
a man who hunts tigers with a
lance.
Producers Scared
This is no new phenomenon.
Ever since movies became big bus
mess, the title DOGGY has scared
producers into many changes until
they could hit on only those that
the public could not fail to under
stand. In many cases, one pic
ture will go through so many
changes Of title that it will finally
emerge as something that has
nothing to do with the story.
A few years ago one studio had
q railroad story, and decided that
its title, 1.-The Steel Highway"
would mean nothing to the public.
It was finally released as "Other
Mems Women" but that drastic
change failed to do the picture
any good.
Marlene Dietrich's latest picture
was produced under the title of
"Caprice ESpagnol." Believing
that this would mean exactly
nothing to people who had no
knowledge of Spain or Spanish, it
was changed to Carnival in
Spain" This led to another con:
sideration. It might be construed
as being a travelogue picture, so

the final title was announced as
THE Devil Is a Woman"
HumOr In Changes

the final title was announced as
1.-The Devil Is a Woman"
HumOr in Changes
Some of the title changes,
though seriously done, have their
own touch of humor in them.
Paramount changed 1.-THE Pink
Chemise" to Come on Marines"
An original story, This Woman
and This Man." came out on the
screen as Guilty Of Love-" The
Guy de Maupassant story, 'That
Pig Of a Morin," would have
shocked it's author had he seen
it billed over marquee as RED
Hot Papa" There seems to be
some political satire in the fact
that Republicans and Sinners"
was changed to "Six of a Kind"
Even Noel Coward was not i'm
mune. His 1.-The Queen Was in
the Parlor" became Tonight Is
Ours" on the presumption that
many would not know the old
nursery rhyme from which the
original title came.
This business of title changes
is a $3.50 battle between public
and producers. The former hurl

defend on the basis that they
have been misunderstood too

 The Canal Zone
 My husband is in the Navy and his position takes him to the Pan- anna Canal Zone. He wants me to go down there to be with him for eight months. Would the climate and living conditions be safe for my daughter (aged 4)? (Mrs. W. A. G. Jr.)
 Answer-Yes, as healthful and safe as any place in this country, thanks to American medicine.
 Steel Wool
 Accidentally my two children swallowed some steel wool in soup Will it harm them? What should I do about it? (Mrs. H. W.)
 Answer-When a child has swallowed any foreign body or substances, avoid giving any em- etic or physic. Rather feed the child plenty of vegetable food for day or two-any and all avail able vegetables chopped fine and not too well cooked. Or plenty of banana, or even mashed potato. The purpose of this is to provide a mass of soft residue to surround the foreign object and make its passage easy.

Everything comes out in the wash-even stains-if only you will take a few precautions before wash day. Heavy ice cream and frosted drink stains, for instance, found all too often on your best table cloth these days, need two pre-tub treat ments. They are usually a combina- tion of sugar, cream and color from fruit juices. The cream must first be treated with grease solvent, such as carbon tetra- chloride. To erase the fruit juice, pour boiling water through the spot.
 Salad oil may be unnoticeable when wet, but unless all grease or oil is taken out 1t will show up as grayish brown stains when the fabric is ironed and will be almost impossible to get out then. The trick is also to treat mayon- naise and oil stains with carbon tetrachloride before washing.
 Removing Grass Stains
 If you can take care of grass stain while it's fresh you can usually take it out with soap and WdtSE, UuI II ~ iS q Ody VI iAOAS old, sponging with denatured al- cohol is effective. Unwashable materials, of course, must be given the alcohol treatment to begin with.
 Every once in a while some- body throws damp towel in the clothes hamper and traces of mil- dew make their appearance. In the early stages of it's growth this stain comes out by washing in cold water before putting into hot studs. If, however, it is stubborn, white cottons and linens may be bleached with Javelle water. Small scattered spots can be stretched over a bowl of hot wa- ter containing few drops of am- monia, Then, with 8 dropper, put the bleach on the stain and im- mediately rinse the material in the water in the bowl. You may need to repeat this several times. Large spots are more easily taken out if they are soaked in a solu- tion of two tablespoons Javellc water in one part of clear water.
 After using bleach, rinse arr ticles thoroughly. The bleach weakens the fabrics if left on. Colorcd Fabrics Will Bleach Tea and coffee and fruit stains are removed by pouring boiling water through the spot. After laundering, these stains, too, must be given the bleaching treatment.

Wzh,GS;H,!L!DesEN z, &! I'LL: RE!

Those adults who lived in the dry days of pool-less cities, too far from beaches to do more than sigh for them, and with no way in the world to play Neptune except l to paddle in the street after q storm those cheated souls are to-day urging their children most vigorously to learn to swim and dive. They know the torment of water-helplessness.
 However, it is a mistake for these oldsters to insist that they cannot learn now. Actually, 1t is never too late, although caution must be used if the heart won't stand strain.
 Too Strenuous For Weak Child | Swimming is always strenuous and the beginning makes it harder than 1t really is, exerts himself more, struggles, wears himself out. If child is known to have heart trouble, he is better out of the water, unless he promises just to wade and walk about.
 | No child should swim for long periods at time, or stay in the water for more than an hour. It is enervating in any case. Only safe places should have the par- l ents' sanction safe and clean. Diving into rocky pools is as risky as dynamite. Strong undertow of the sea at some of the beaches. a sneaky and vicious thing always, lays traps for the unwary and venturesome. Watch out for it.
 Water is fun. Swimming is ex- cellent exercise. A feeling of se- curity is a wonderful asset. But none of these things is worth haz- ard.

 "Of course not, Hubby
 Ut may be hard to take" the other warned.
 "You don't have to take advice" smiled Jo. :.

 New York.-This Is a sweater year, whether you 60 to college, work in an office live in town or country, you need several knitted blouses to revive your wardrobe now and to wear all fall and win ter.
 The new ones comes in all sorts of unusual patterns = combina- tions of drop and cross stitches - and in soft but coarser weaves. Black. to be worn with lighter skirts or suits, is the newest sweater shade. Honey beige - light and luminous like cream on rich milk--is a close second.
 For college, a twin sweater set with simple pullover and cardigan that has a stond-up collar Cthis is new. tool will be extremely use- ful, With separate skirts, the set can 20 to classes. The pullover will be nice with suit. French lilac, yellow greens, bright reds, orange anu SOAS O1uSS 0AS perfect for the campus.
 Trimming in Second Tone
 Dressier sweaters have bateau necklines reminiscent of Vion- nets famous and flattering old favorite, interesting yokes, and are trimmed with buttons and belts that make them dressy enough for a luncheon in town.
 Two-toned effects often are ob- tained by wrist, neckline and bot tom bands in contrast. One par ticularly handsome sweater blouse In honey beige has bands Of green. Another, in soft bluel- is finished with bands fo navy.
 Remember that silk and wollen Ascots are good with sweaters. At Saratoga a good many fash ionable society girls wore plain V or souare-necked sweaters with silk Ascots tucked into the front Costume jewelry clips give a sweater a smart air too.
 The group, shown here today, Is typical of the new sweater trends. From left to right, they include:
 A dressy model of soft woolen, In grayish blue with bands of royal blue, has a bateau neckline. It can be worn outside or tucked into d skirt. Next to it is a sweater blouse of chenille and rab- bits hair wooden in soft maize Unusual stitches form the yoke, The collar is high about the next,

 Third from left is suave black creation in soft but rather coarse weave. This is especially smart with white skirts now and with fall shades later.
 The youthful sweater blouse (fourth) is a two-tones boucle in cream and we1lowish green. A rather wide collar and buttons at the neckline in front are smart deatils.
 The Japanese rose twin sweater s.t (right) includes simple pull over and a smart cardigan with the new type of hig hcollar. This buttons all the way down the front and has two patch pockets.

For children to swim is an excel- lent thing. There is scarcely an- other form of sport that exercises all the body muscles at once so completely.
 It not only tones and strength ems muscles, but makes them elas- tic and establishes control. These added together give grace.
 Besides, these bodies of ours need inversion. We stand erect, walk or sit most of our waking hours. Asleep we lie on our sides or backs. But in the water, face down, an entirely different shift ing occurs. It is almost the only time the viscera find themselves suspended from the backbone in- stead of leaning against 1t.
 Aside from the physiology, there is the matter of safety, and that blissful assurance of security in water. It may be but once in a lifetime that danger threatens but it may be enough. Most peo- pie who cannot swim secretly dread boat ride or even an ocean voyage, safe as 1t may be to-day. Security in Knowing How It is a great thing to be able to say, "Well, if we tip over and I have half a chance I can reach shore in a few minutes, or q can float. until rescued" or "I will jump in if Mary falls overheard and save her."
