There is no one on the All Amer
ican canal project who turns more
mental handsprings than j. C.
Thrailkill, chief clerk and general
office boss of the reclamation bu-
reau at Yuma. From the man who
. runs tack into his foot to the man
who wants to sell a dragline, they
all come to Thrailkill. Almost any
day you can find him in his office,
but first you'll have to dig to the
bottom of a mountain of documents,
reports and orders, because that's
where he usually is.

Su-win-n-oo 1t!

Something of an event drew a
certain type of music lover to the
Imperial Theater Sunday night.
New York was treated to its first
Swing Music Concert. There has
been nothing like it here in all
the years in which we have chron-
icled the changes in Broadway
customs and yearnings. 1t is an
event which should not pass I'M
recorded, for it marks the glorifi-
cation of the only music that can
truly be said to be 100 per cent
American. 1t must not be con-
fused with jazz, for as Abel Green
once quoted Red Norvo, Swing"
pioneer: THAT it's not just the
old,style jazz is best evidenced by
the fact that only the crack musi-
clans can swing. They alone know
how to keep the original melodies
in mind and then improviSe figu-
rations around the original music"
All the pioneer maestroS Of
the swing turned out with their
small swing unitS-frOm Mr..
Paul Whiteman to the king of
swing, Louis Armstrong, who
flew in all the way from Maine.
The One-handed Wingy Man
none, the penSive young Bob
Crosby, the Sepian Laurel-and-
Hardy duo, Stuffy Smith and
Jonah Jones, Red NOrvO and
Tommy Dorsey, Bunny Berrigan
and Adrian ROllini, Glen Gray
and his Casa LOmas-and dOZ-
ems of Others - demonstrated
the diScOrdant yet tantaliZing
rhythm that is Swing" and, up
in one box, the youngest of the
ROOSeveltS swayed ecStatically,
and down in a seat near the
front the more conservative
George Gershwin stamped foot
in time-beat, and, near us, young
Roger Wolfe Kahn pounded an
open palm rythmically against
the back Of the seat in front of
him. Swing does that to you.
I don't know what the classic
composers would have thought
of "swing"-Bach, Beethoven, Mo-
Fart. Wagner, MendelSsohn-but I
know America accepts it and hugs
it to its heart and to its feet.
From coast to coast, the Swing
blasts out its wild rhythm-snat-
tering the blues. It is tonic music.
It will also drive you little nuts.

IMAM ever IN q reSLr1cCeQ Q1eC.
Recheck your menu to see if it
contains your quota of the protec-
tive elements, for, even while re-
ducing, you can live on a high
health plane with the right diet.
Less weight should mean better
health. Safeguard your vitality
while reducing, and you will
emerge with your good disposition
intact-and a good figure.
How about your Vitamin A, B,
C's? Vitamin C Is quite likely to
be adequate in the reducer's menu
because of the liberal use of fruits
and fruit juices. The best sources
Of C are oranges. grapefruit, toma-
toes, lemons, and pineapple. One
Of these should be used daily.
The amount of Vitamin B is apt
to be deficient, since it is princi-
pally supplied in whole-grain
breads and cereals, which are
usually decreased in the reducing
menu. For this reason, it is i'm
portant that the reducer use whole
grain bread, three slices daily, and
use whole-grain cereal when cereal
is included in the menu.
Vitamin A, which is found in
greatest abundance in whole milk,
cream and butter, is likely to be the
vitamin most deficient in a reduc-
ing hill of fare. The reducer needs
the small amount of butter in
cluded in the daily menu. Low
calorie sources of this vitamin are
egg yolk, spinach, carrots and to-
matoeS.
On a prolonged reducing diet,
it might be advisable to use some
concentrated form of Vitamin A,
such as cod liver oil capsules, since
these capsules do not contain ca
tories. The reducer who is subject
to recurrent colds would particu-
larly benefit from an increase of
A in the diet, for this vitamin
raises resistance to respiratory in
fectionS. One capsule, taken on
rising in the morning assures SUI
ficient Vitamin A.
Another important protective
element likely to be low in the
diet is calcium, which is chiefly
supplied in milk and cottage
cheese. Buttermilk or skinned
milk should always be used by the
reducer, for they contain as much
calcium as whole milk but only
half as many Galleries. If you use
the reducing diets I have planned
for you and don't drink your milk
I'll haunt you!
The protein should not be re-
duced in a low-calorie diet. One
tenth of your normal number Of
Galleries should be made up Of
protein and this is unchanged in
reducer'S diet. Adequate protein
is supplied If you have daily: One
to two eggs, an average serving

Miss Frances Williams made her
debut at the Hollywood Restau-

whispers that she was through as

decessor, Benny Fields had con-
WINGED skepticS that there is such
a thing as comeback" Miss Will
liamS stampeded her audience and
presume is now a very happy
young woman with renewed ambi-
tons. Preceding Miss Williams
was a dance team consisting of a
girl of startling beauty and
handsome young man who looked
like an Artist Petty conception Of

Women around us were in a semi
Swoon as they watched him grace

Charlotte and Charles Lamberton

their lips moved as if they were

sister-and totally deaf and dumb.
AS far as I know, the first deaf
mute dance team on Broadway.
Nick Lucas strummed his magic
guitar-equipped with an ampli-
fier-and sang soulful melodies.
Jack Waldron changed wigs, dug
choice tid-bits out of Joe Miller,
played a dance Dan McGrew to
the fetching Miss Haynes ribald
Lou and started on his Goth week
as master of ceremonies.
This is all duly recorded in
faithful detail for pOsterity to

entertainment may be taboo

Broadway
Second Meetinq!

When this is gone-and we pass on the street
With casual nod stiffly managed smile,
Like any other strangers who twice meet,
Perchance to wonder where they met the while;
Will you remember in that brefest glance,
Some scent of blossom some low-spoke word
Or note of song rhythm of the dance.
And say within yourself-oh once heard
A symphony rise up from silent leaves
That Winter long beneath the SHOWS had lain,
And saw the pattern that young moon weaves
And felt the solitude of Summer rain!
Or will you not remembering clearly
Wonder why l look at you queerly?
