The moment the daylight begins to

Couldn't you make it berry"
WELL" thought the sailor, "he
w gets bigger and sillier." Quietly,
the sailor slipped out and found a
big branch of berries to which he tied
the acorn that would shrink the huge
squirrel. Then he said to the squirrel:
If you won't eat my acorn, will
you eat these berries?"
Certainly" said the squirrel So
he gulped down the branch, acorn and
all. Suddenly he stopped growing.
He shrank to the size of a horse
Then he was the size OF a little Gin

IT is Carole Lombard speaking: Il am glad
that I'm not beautiful - that I'm not
symmetrical of feature and perfect of
form - for the simple reason that would
need to spend all my time keeping that way.
1T is much better for woman to have a
fairly attractive look. At thirty-five the raw
ishingly beautiful woman is through. At that
age the woman who has the possibility of
being attractive is just beginning
For example, a girl who doesn't quite make
the grade as beauty fights to overcome the
handicap by developing her mind and per-
sonality, her ability to wear clothes - to
make herself as attractive as possible in every
way If Id been beautiful Id never have
amounted to much

believer in numerology - that the letters
in name have an influence on destiny - she
changed her name to Carol Lombard. She
later added an ''e' to the first name. Accord
ing to the Hollywood custom, this change
was later given legal sanction.
As young girl, she appeared in amateur

Instead, she sought film career She is

to know. i came up from the extra ranks.
And if can help anybody miss the pain of
that, feel pretty happy"
Through Miss Lombards intercession, the
stenographer is now on the way to becoming
successful actress.
There are other instances of an almost
belligerent kindness shown by the famous
comedienne to those less fortunate
Her first appearance out of the extra ranks
was with one of the greatest of all film cow
boys, Buck Jones' She was not successful in
the role. Off the screen she seemed ideal for an
outdoor girl. Before the camera she lacked
the breezy nonchalance so necessary for one
of that type.
lnnately shy, her defense in Hollywood was
hoydenish behavior. Only her shyness regis
tered on the screen. Failing in westerns"
she conceived dislike of them.

of his great success He engaged her as a
bathing beauty for eighteen months. During
this period she was injured in an automobile

crash and confined to her bed for half year.
A scar was left on her face, and caused her
considerable worry. 1t might have meant the
end of her screen career. A weak heart was
also said to have been an aftermath.
Several months passed before she was strong
enough to have new screen test. After many
anxious hours it was discovered that the scar
did not show on the screen.
A seemingly endless period of uncertainty
followed. Her first stroke of good fortune
came when she was selected by c. B. de Mile
for the leading role in Dynamite. But she
later was removed from the cast.
She drifted aimlessly in and out of different
cinema harbors for the next three years,
ignored by film reviewers and mentioned with
Indifference by casting directors.
At twenty-five she could literally see the
curtain of her career falling. Then she was
cast in role opposite William Powell. AS one
producer said, mo one cared who was oppo-
site POWELL
After appearing with the suave actor in
several films, she married him. Though her
husband was without a peer as an adroit
master of cinema make-believe, she called
him Junior" 1t was Junior" who changed
the course of her life.
Off the screen the poiseful Powell is bashful
If he had two personalities, so might his
young wife.
Her intelligence was above the average.
Her aggressiveness might be smoke screen
to cover her retreat from life. Subtle and
sophisticated she had keen sense of humor
Her screen personality had been years in
the making; it could not be changed in day.
Audiences and those who tabulate box-ofice
receipts have long memories But Powell was
patient A divorce came He was still loyal
His task was completed in five years.
The most brilliant star in his section of the
sky, he asked that his ex-wife be given the
important lead with him in MY Man God
frey"
1t was the comedy sensation of the year,
and bounced Miss Lombard into fame as the
leading cinema comedienne of the day.
Her name and salary scared to unbeliev-
able heights. Studios clamored for her serv-
ices She secured one of the best and most
stringent contracts ever made. For appearing
in three films year she is paid $45O,OOO, in
addition to which she is allowed to make one
film year 'off the lot"
She also has the right, under the terms of
the contract, to the exclusive services OF
favorite photographer and studio electrician,

director, the choice of story and the casting.

OF William Powell she says, Il must like
the man, or wouldn't have married him in
the first place! Now that we're divorced, we're
still the best of friends" She adds naIvely,
"We're both civilized people"
Powell, the sentimental Svengali, never
makes comment.

More Clinics
Needed for
Mothers

Because expectant mothers are
cooperating more fully in the Cap
ital's campaign to lessen infant
mortality, the Health Department
plans to open several new mater
nifty clinics soon.
Cheering results already have
been obtained at the three clinics
now established, it is reported by
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, assistant
District health officer. Designed
principally to aid INDECENT taml-
lies, the clinics not only give pre-
natal advice but arrange for
proper care during childbirth
either in hospitals or homes.
If the home Of the expectant
mother is clean, DR.. Seckinger
said, delivery is accomplished
there under the watchful eyes Of
Health Department physicians.
Otherwise they are usually sent to
Gallinger Municipal Hospita |,
whose maternity ward has long
been overcrowded.
Instead of waiting until few
hours before delivery to seek the
Health Departments aid, DR..
Eickinger explained, many expect
ant mothers now follow the cor
rect course of reporting regularly
for examinations and advice from
the first signs of pregnancy.
Those found suffering from We,
nereal diseases can thus be treated
to prevent the passing of the all
ment to the unborn baby.
