dicted today that President Roose-
welt would ask Congress for an Army
air force of upward of $3.50 fighting
planes.
Mr.. johnson. a key figure in the
Presidents restudy of national de-
fense needs, gave the first official
outline of parts of the administra-
tions prospective armament pro-
gram. He told conference of New
England business leaders sponsored
by the New England council that
our air supremacy is threatened
by Europe's advances.

that the rest of the world is setting.

plies would cost $440, 900.

outstanding military needs, making
it clear he was referring to the
Army and not the Navy:

larly at Wright Field. Dayton, Ohio.

 The three stars mentioned above play the featured roles with well come support provided by Gloria Holden, Margaret Tallichet, Noah Beery, Jr., Heather Thatcher and a score or so of charming young sterS.
 Miss Shirley is superbly seen as Natalie, a girl working her way through an exclusive Girls School" by acting as dormitory monitor" Miss Grey is the romance-minded semi snobbish fellow student whose nocturnal absence motivates the conflict between the two. Miss Grey plans to elope, that night after the senior prom, but Natalie's unwilling honesty as monitor almost leads to her immediate dismissal instead. What elopement there is, finally, occurs between Gloria Holden and MT. Bellamy, as the sympathetic young instructor and her scientist admirer, while the girl students wonder what two such elderly peo- pie know about love.
 Bob Burns, in a role reminiscent of the one he played so successfully in wells Fargo, turned in the best performance of his career in his lat est hit ''The Arkansas Traveller" ," the second big hit of the program. In the leading femine role opposite the star is Fay Bainter,
 Adding to the amusement of the plot are Jean Parker and John Beal in the romantic interests; and Dickie Moore, Porter Hall and Lyle Talbot.

PoLI's

Joan Crawford returns to tho screen as talented dancer in he1 new picture, '"The Shining Hour,S which opens this afternoon at tha popular Loew Pol theater.
 The picture is an adaptation of the New York stage success by Keith Winter. Appearing with Miss Crawford are Margaret Sullavars Robert Young, Melvyn Douglas and Fay Bainter.
 The story is an appealing combi- nation of Broadway gaiety, with tha lights and music, contrasting with the tranquility of mid-weStern farm. Briefly, 1t is the account of charming dancer who marries 8 grave young farm expert for secur- ity and peace rather than for love.
 When he takes her into the cold heart of his Kansas family, her dif- faculties begin. A younger brother falls in love with her and she is attracted to him. His wife, a cour> ageous and unselfish girl, is heart- broken. A dour spinster sister is bitter and unrelenting. In this predicament, the dancer is help- lessly trapped as the play of hue man emotions reveals the good and bad in all of them, herself in- cluded. st
 Miss Crawford plays superb role as Olivia Kelly, the dancer. Mar garet Sullavan is remarkably fine as the sister-in-law and Robert Young, as her young husband, presents his usual outstanding performance. Mel. vyn Douglas gives strong characs | terization to the role of the bewil- dered bridegroom and Fay Bainter brings her wealth of stage artistry to the part of Hannah, the spirsteE sister.
 The second hit on this great pros gram is thrilling sports adven- ture, "Ros6 Demons" featuring that lovable comedian, Henry Armetta with Henry Arthur and Joan Valeris in the romantic leads.

 feel friendly and make them com fortable and happy in the know ledge. But there are certain graces to be added to the unsophisticated sociability of early years, to make the woman womanly, the girl, Just as the word implies, gracious.
 Tact is wonderful thing. 10 say the right thing at the rlgnt time is the crux, think, of gen. tiIitv. To recue a situation by turn ing the subject quickly to another matter. To say a word of encourage ment, subtly, without making 1t too apparent. And to make others reel better for a smile or handclasp.
 There are two kinds of tact. one is sheer diplomacy. It is somewhat artificial and calculating. It reacts to the good of the diplomat herself, intentionally. This is not to be dis credited. because habit becomes second nature and many a woman who began by being superficially friendly as social asset has come out with really gracious and sincere personality.
 The real tact, however, is the natural goodness and kindness of the heart reduced to an art. It needs training and exercise. We may feel like saying and doing the kind thing, but in our ignorance cannot put it over or let others know how we feel.
 Our daughters and our sons, too, need to be taught this social habit early if they art to make friends. And keep them.
 Lessons in Charm
 It comes to me now,a little episode that occurred years ago. At club I had gone to with friends, two young daughters of a prominent family, so prominent that I knew them at once, recognized me as a stranger and without any introduc- tion whatsoever, came over to me at once, bowed beautifully and shook my hand. I am used to good man. ners, but I was instantly astonished and charmed. It was at Bar Harbor. They were from Philadelphia.
 Later a group of young people weer curious to know what these girls were like, for talked to them later and my admiration grew. Tell
