 It is far easier to keep the human machine
 running well to make simple adjustments
 than it is to fix it after it has begun to break

 human machine needs expert attention in

 We have gone considerable distance the road toward general good health and without doubt edu- cational programs such as the one being sponsored next month have played important role in attain ing the present standards. But lowering the cost of health service and making it available to those who afford private service is the key to universal good health program for the nation.

Leo Carrillo is an unhappy vic- tim of typing. Hollywood knows that he is of Spanish blood and that he can mimic almost any nation- ality.
 What Hollywood doesn'r realize is that Senor Carrillo Is an Amer lean by generations of California ancestry that he was born in Los Angeles, and that his natural, off, stage medium of expression Is ex' cellent English.
 Senor Carrillo gets lots of parts because, fortunately, there are lots of foreign Representations to be done. Yet the only straight piece oi acting he ever has been allowed to do in flickers was in c silent item titled Magnolia"

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent


 Hollywood.--All over the lot: A campaign is on for humanizing Greta darbo. Stories are told of frightened little forays which she is making from her seclusion-how she takes walks near her home, and strolis about the Metro lot smiling at people, and plays ball on the set.
 Tn certain quarters, though, one story is told which indicates that Miss Garbo is not quite ready to emerge. It seems that one day recently she extended stilted invitation to Ernest Hemingway to call upon her.
 And Hemingway went Ad.
 mltted to the house, he was
 asked Co wait a moment. He
 waited-and waited.
 After about an hour he said to himself, "Ay tank Ay go home" And he did. Nobody knows why Miss 0arbo wanted to see MT. fleming way, or why she didn't receive him. Anyway, 1t is a good bet that the Hemingway snub has chased her back into her ivory tower.

 With the gentleness due a star,
 they tied him up, and clapped leg irons on him. Garnett finally placed him on probation. He gave him Q cowbell. Howard was 0r- dered to bong the cowbell when- ever he went onNa stroll.
 It wasn't any time at all before a scene was ready for shooting but no Howard. Pretty soon they heard the cowbell, though, in a distant corner of the sound stage and high up in the catwalks. Gar nett and his searchers converged on the sound. They found only the bell-the bell and Q string.
