Do you remember when oranges were scarcely ever seen except in Christmas stock ngs? They were expensive too. 1t was great thing for us when the orange was pro- noted to a regular place on our year-round breakfast table Now the drinking of delici- ous, healthful orange juice is universal custom.
 What brought about this change? It was accomplished entirely by advertising Farm CTS who raised oranges wanted to sell more of them and they advertised the benefits of drinking orange juice Many of us tried it and liked it, and we bought more oranges. Production of oranges went up and prices increased from per capita to 58, and every body is Happier for it, consumers, farmers, railroads, and grocers.
 A distinguished physician recently de- scribed how he and other nutrition experts had tried for years to educate the public to drink tomato juice But they didn't get any where. Then certain food companies started canning tomato juice. They advertised it's pleasing taste and heath-giving properties As direct result, nearly everybody drinks tomato juice now, and in 1887 the public bought 5,750,000 cases of it.
 Spinach, long known as valuable food has been the bane of many a youngsters existence. To make children eat it was like pulling teeth. Then, along came Popeye the Sailor. Backed by an advertising appropria- tion, he actually converted children into en- thusiastic spinach-eaters. Popeye's thou- sands of fans want to be strong, and they thoroughly enjoy their spinach.

 An Eight Year Siege
 At Virginia's Randolph Macon Miss Claire got higher education her Phi Beta Kappa key for out standing scholastic work, and hei first taste of dramatics.
 For eight years after that, she laid siege to Broadway. During that time she had the manifold exper- fence of radio, small roles on the stage, the almost anonymous busi- ness of commenting for newsreels and a year in Cincinnati, Ohio, with that astute director of stock com panies, Stuart Walker.
 She Went On Working
 About year ago, the movies, in their hunt for Scarlett, got very warm Anton Bundsmann, who ac- companied Director George Cukol on that much-heralded southbound tour, remembered Miss Claire.

 Miss Claire lives in a penthouse on the upper west side of Manhat- tan. There's a southern atmosphere about the place. Perhaps that's due to her mother-for Mrs. Claire nev- CT has had to sacrifice her southern accent on the altar of radio and newsreel drmatics.

Mum Der II

Once upon a time, the Roman Emperor Augustus was in a bad way, suffering from some sort of diet ailment. A travelling doctor fed the Emperor on lettuce leaves and he got well. Even that long ago, it seems that some body knew about the value of green leaves in the human diet. Members of his court imi- tated the Emperor's eating habits and all began eating salads made of lettuce leaves.
 But there was no advertising in those days, and salad eating did not become general custom. Centuries later, Napoleon knew about the value of this kind of food, for he ate it daily When in the field, his chef pre- pared salads of green leaves from nearby tree, if lettuce was not available. But the general public was not greatly influenced by Napoleon's eccentric eating habits.
 In this country, less than a generation ago, green salads were almost unknown in the average home. Today we are a nation of salad eaters. What caused this remarkable change? Advertising, and almost nothing else. Companies that sell dressing and other salad ingredients have educated the public to the health value of fresh green leaves and have taught people how to prepare salads. As consequence, the average persons diet has become lighter and decidedly more healthful.
 Oranges, tomato juice spinach and salads. These are only few of the better foods popu- larized by advertising. There are many more, and the American table is now the best in the world. The good work continues. Adver- Using puts more health in our food and more Zest in our meals.

NEW YORK-HollyWood wasted couple of years and good many thousands without finding its Scar lett OHara, but when Broadway needed a Scarlett, producer got on the telephone and 30 minutes later there was Helen Claire. Clare Boothe's cauStic Kiss The Boys Goodbye" is not, of course, dramatization of Margaret Mitch els Gone With The Wind" But practically no attempt is made to veil the fact that it is satirical story of the discovery of modern Southern belle to play the film Scar lett.
 The Cindy Lou Bethany of the play gets the job, too, and before the curtain falls there's no doubt in any ones mind that Cindy Lou, as portrayed by Miss Claire, deserves it.
 A'Snit' Specialist Helen Clare has more southern background than Cherokee rose, more charm than an Alabama moon. She can throw a shit (tantrum to you) with feminine fury And in defense of her honor she can shoot movie producer as convincingly as if he were a damyankee soldier on foraging expedition and she were Scarlett O'Hara.
 There's a reason for all this.

Commodity markets joined stocks in

scene were confident that over the near

peace had frightened.
A feature OF the day was a busy
demand for investment type securities,
with many of the transactions for
cash. Speculative interest centered
largely in the so-called commodity is
sues, such as rubbers and coppers. A
boost in the copper export price and
heavy buying abroad bolstered the
latter group.
Followers of the rail shares were
cheered by preliminary estimates in

carrier executive predicted an early
pickup in miscellaneous freight move
ment. which hitherto has shown the
greatest decline during the recession.

the highest level since April |, 1885
The sharp reversal of the recent

Last week English and continental
hoarders resold gold they had pur-
chased in the earlier phases of the
