THE VOICE OF
Broad way
BY Louis SObOI-
Out Of Envelopes!

Just a mess of notes to tighten
your day Did you hear about
Ben Bernie's son, Jason, who
skipped out of Rutgers University
last week and disappeared? 1t
had Ben worried sick, until they
found the kid working in cloth
ing store in Jersey for 10 bucks a
week. Said he wants to make his
own way in the world. He's back
in school Walter Kane, the
10 percenter here in Hollywood,
slipped Anita Colby the important
ring with a Centerpiece that looks
like a locomotive headlight Z.
Metro handed Franchot Tone the
part of a gangSter in its new pic,
They Gave Him Gun He is
supposed to have learned how to
use the gun in the war and after
the war he keeps right on using it.
It's a whale of yarn with
Gladys George playing the pal ard
Spencer Tracy the other man. But
the point is that Metro planned
to have a series of shots at the
opening of the picture showing the
steps that go into making a gun
but so far none of the munitions
factories have let their cameramen
go into their factories to photo
graph the process.
1t seems the dealers in death
found out that the entire preach
ment in They Gave Him a Gun
is against wars and for laws pro
hibiting anyone except law officers
to handle guns. Otherwise the
coast is quiet with most of the
big shots worried stiff because
they've raised the ante on the in
come taxes and March Is is around
the corner. BY the way, I have it
on pretty good authority that Doris
Dudley is practically set for the
part of Scarlett O'Hara in Selz-
hicks Gone With the Wind

ages of so and so, five took office
after so and one-William Henry
Harrison-waS SO at the time OF
his Inauguration.
With this office, longevity pre-
supposes a high degree o. health,
and to the President the job Of
keeping fit in trying times is an
important one.
That President Roosevelt has
been able to maintain perfect
health during four extremely diff
ficult years in the White House
is due to his adherence to def
mite health program, with diet
and exercise carefully supervised
by his doctor.
The President likes to swim, and
three afternoons a week he is to
be found in the White House pool,
where he gets real workout in
this most relaxing of all eXer-
cises. Perhaps the secret of con-
tinued high vitality, in spite of
an extraordinary difficult job,
lies in the Presidents ability to
cast off his worries when he fin
ishes his days work.
In recent years, the Presidents
have found it necessary to plan
exercise programs that will, to
some measure, offset the arduous
demands of the office. Herbert
Hoover exercised regularly with a
medicine ball and depended upon
the quietude of the woods, which
he loved, for relaxation. AS he
was constantly threatened with
overweight, diet was important for
both his health and weight. Mr..
Hoover is now past so and still
hale and hearty.
Calvin Coolidge's favorite exer-
else was riding horseback, SO when
he went to live in the White House
he had a mechanical horse in
stalled as the nearest substitute
for this hobby. He also enjoyed
walking, and would walk in any
sort of weather. Mr.. Coolidge ate
carefully and seldom indulged in
desserts. 1t is known that he never
ate pie.
Every business executive needs
a definite program of exercise,
for in a sedentary occupation you
are unlikely to get exercise unless
it is planned. Hence physical
activity is important to your health
and your business. The nervous
system is conditioned by the mus.
cular system, and no one can
maintain physical fitness and
maximum mental efficiency with.
out regular exercise. Take time
for physical activity and you will

early as possible this month if you
want the best yields. Early paintings
have a longer period for growing,
and a larger yield of prime potatoes
will be produced. Fertilize the sweet
potatoes with a fertilizer Analysing
3-8-8 and apply at the rate of 800 to
1000 pounds per acre depending or
the soil. Do not put compost or ma
nure in the drill with the plants. 1t
will cause the potatoes to be discOlor-
ed and cracked and they will have a
very poor keeping quality.
Watch out for the bean beetle and
tomato worms. If these pests get a
start they are hard to control. These
can be controlled by using rs percent
Rotenone dust This dust is still
rather expensive but it is good, both
as a contact and stomach poison and
is not injurious to human beings. In
busting beans be sure to get the dust
on the under side of the leaves as
this is where the bean beetle works.
This insect seldom eats all the way
through the leaf but leaves a very
thin layer of the upper side OF the
leaf untouched and, therefore fails to
get the poison which is on top of the
leaf However, dust should be ap-
piled on the top as well to control
the bean leaf beetle that is eating all
those round little holes out of your
bon le~ves When you have complet-
ed gathering a crop from your beans
it is best to remove the plants and
destroy them Immediately so they will
not furnish a breeding and feeding
place for this insect.
