Buffalo Bill you knows supposed
to be buried. His hat, uniform and
guns as we'll as lot of Indian relics
were in museum there"
Now that he's been in Hollywood,
Hardie's not so sure he wants to get
into the movies.
After seeing so many disappointed
people waiting-Waiting to be called
to work. and seeing with my own eyes
how hard the movie people really have
to work, am not quite so enthusiastic
about it," he confessed.
HE LIKES to act in amateur chill
dren's plays, though. and recently
took the part Of the Rabbit in Blue
Bird" when it was given here. A very
special circumstance made that play
an unusual experience for him.
1T is quite coincidence" he ex-
planned. but "a years ago my Dad
played the part OF the Cat in the same
show, when it was having its famous
New York run"
Hardie has other hobbies, too, among
them painting and drawing. His great
est interest at the moment is in the
Blue Eagle Club. secret society of
which he is president. The club meets
in his back yard at 3943 Livingston
street in hut built Of logs, crates,
orange boxes and anything else its
members could get together for the
purpose.

Gee. it was great fun" he exclaims
to people who keep asking him about
the trip. Especially meeting Freddie
Bartholomew.
Freddie is 100 per cent boy"
Hardie continued Wanted to talk
of nothing but base BALI"
When the child actor discovered
that Hardie was particularly inter-
ested in the methods of filming pic
lures, however, he dropped base ball
long enough to show him around the
set, explaining the mechanism Of flood
lights and the apparatus being used
then for the filming OF Captains
Courageous"
Il also met Mickey Rooney there"
Hardie added proudly, and I saw
Shirley Temple. She was carrying 4
large Shirley Temple DOLL"
THE horseback ride on the Wild
West set was exciting, too but
Hardie confessed he was little
nervous, with men dressed like In
dian warriors. rough cowboys with
pistols and guns and bad hombres'

While he was in California, Hardie
and his mother took a boat ride to
Catalina Island and saw flying fish,

the beautiful submarine gardens there
which are viewed through a glass

Outdoor Meals
Made ENJOYABLE

THESE days meals outdoors appeal
- to everyone, and here are some
ideas that will make them even more
enjoyable.
Take along an old card table cover,
one with elastics across the corners.
Then at meal time. put four sticks
into the ground and slip the elastics
over them, and your tablecloth won't
be blowing all over the place while
you eat
Tomatoes always taste extra good
outdoors, and heres an easy way to
handle them. Quarter them, sprinkle
each section with salt and wrap it in
waxed paper. They're easy to hold
and to eat this way.
Another enjoyable picnic idea is
to take along sliced bread, jar Of
lunch meats, cheeses. pickles. potato
chips, fruit and plenty of paper plates
and cups. Then. when everyone's
hungry, just set out all the food and
everyone can make his or her own
sandwiches. A big bucket Of coffee
set over the campfire is all that is
needed to complete this feast and
everyone has the fun Of choosing just
what he wants to eat.
Remember the trick for toasting
Wieners and marshmallows-as square
of cardboard slipped over the stick or
long-handled fork. to protect your
hands from the heat.
And II you want to take fresh
berries or sliced peaches, prepare them
at home and put them in quart jars,
with good rubber to keep the juice in.
They'll keep in fine shape this way
and are easy to carry.

Peril in Training
Circus Beasts

TRAINING the cat" animals in a
i circus is dangerous PROPOSE
tion. While the elephant is gentle
beast, striving to please, the big cats
never get to like the idea OF captivity.
You wouldn't expect it, but the lion
though called the king Of beasts" Is
much easier to train than the tiger.
He is lazier and less inclined to be
ouarrelsome. A tiger can almost al
ways beat him in fight.
Worst of all the cats is the black
leopard. Whenever you see one OF
these going through tricks in the cir
Gus, you may be sure that its master
Is an exceedingly clever animal
trainer: also, that there is very good
reason for the man standing close to
the cage with a revolver in his hand
MAYBE you can't see it. but It's there,
1ust the same.) The black leopard is
always waiting for chance to get
his master.

His parents are always careful to
supervise his work so he won't get
hurt, but otherwise young Benjamin
Franklin is allowed to follow his bent
for electricity to his hearts content.
"NOTHER says I was about three

and bring home bag full Of wire and
pliers and plugs, and I'd rig up some
thing electrical. I wanted train
from the first, but l only got it two
years ago"
Ben thinks that train was worth
waiting for, however He has wired
it with an automatic signal 30 that
it obeys red and green light signals

it and then go downstairs to listen to
it stop It's fun to think the train
