''RICH MAN, POOR
GIRL" ACADEMY

Human being are the same the
world over. Their emotions, their
joys, their sorrows, their problems
are identical. A man who can di-
rect motion picture in one
country should be able to do the
same in another if he knows
the language.
That is the reason, expressed by
Reinhold Schunzel why this noted
European director waited six
months before he started his first
motion picture, rich Man, Poor
Girl showing at the Academy to-
day and tomorrow. He wanted to
learn English. Robert Young and
Ruth Hussey are featured in his
first American picture with Lew
Ayres, Guy Kibbee, Rita Johnson
and Lana Turner.
Schunzel, a large, soft spoken
smiling man is his own severest
task master. He started as an ac-
tor and starred in many screen
plays in Europe. One of his hap
piest accomplishments was the
bringing of Marlene Dietrich to
the screen.

How Esophagus, Stomach
Aid IN Digestive Process

Absorption hardly occurs in the
stomach at all. Water passes right
| through the stomach as if in
trough, even though the stomach is
full of food. Even when we are very
thirsty we have to wait until water
gets into the intest;nes to be alb
sorbed. But this is very soon. Alco-
holic beverages and some drugs are
absorbed in the stomach.
Since its work is so largely pre-
iminary to digestion, the stomach
could be removed without greatly
interfering with the digestive proc
ess. Surgical operations are there
fore done in the stomach with con-
siderable impunity. Complete afro
ply of the stomach wall can occur
and digestion goes on just the same.
But in such cases another function
of the body suffers-b blood forma-.
tion-because the stomach secretes
substance which, combined with
the food, prevents anemia. This sub
stance, however, can easily be sup
piled in artificial form.
The stomach is the body's pet.
Persons are inclined either to love
or hate the stomach. It gives them
such good time. But every wind
that blows upsets it. 1t is truly the
barometer of our daily life. "A good
appetite may be a curse. The intro
spective invalid who is always saw
ing his stomach may long outlive
the fellow with the cast-iron diges-
ton.
Considering that the stomach is
on the outposts of life, and consid-
ering all the things we put into it,
etc. there is very little of an organic
nature that ever gets the matter
with it. The only common organic
disease of the stomach Is ulcer.
Cancer Of the stomach occurs, but is
q very rare disease. Most OF our
stomach distresses are from nerves.

A REVOLUTION

TN the excitement of looking over the 1889 auto
mobiles at the recent National Automobile Show
in New York, few spectators realized they were
actually taking part in revolution
And what a revoution-bloodless and life-sav-
ing vote was being taken on questions pertain
ing to automobile operation and regulation from
the standpoint of safety.
One of the questions was: (Which one of the
following has been the most effective in making
you think seriously about accidents? Personal
enforcement experiences; personal accident ex-
periences 3-Safety educational experiences" AT
time when total of 1920 votes had been cast
No. stood $40, No. 2, 944 and No. 3, 1,7O4.
And there is your revolution, namely: public
understanding which resulted from consistent ano
regular safety education to show that only by per:
sonal cooperation between drivers and law enforce
ment authorities can automobile deaths and acc
dents be curbed or reduced. During the past yeal
or two the steady upward trend was broken.
This must have been most gratifying to such

RARE PROCEDURE

ONLY on rare occasions do top-llight govern
- ment officials openly and directly criticize the
government or policies of another power. Thus,
when President Roosevelt recently spoke of the
Jewish persecution in Germany as being horrible
and almost unbelievable, he was doing the unusual
and the daring. The immediate response a
bitter campaign of vfcation against this country
in the inspired Nazi press. The response here was
about 100 per cent favorable to Mr.. Rodsevet's
stand.
Furthermore, there is growing sentiment in
this country for breaking off all commercial and
diplomatic relations with the Reich. That would be
an economic blow to Germany, which is Shaky
financially as it is But few think it could produce
much result unless other powers joined in, notably
England and France. And inasmuch as these
countries now trying to cultivate German
Friendship there seems small chance of that.
More immediate is the problem of aiding the
prosecuted Jews. There is fair chance that one
of Germany'S former African colonies may be
turned into Jewish haven and homeland. This
would not solve the problem by any means, but
it would do great deal to lessen it. And, mas
much as Germany has been seeking the return OF
these colonies, it would be an ironc, backhandeC
slap at Hitler.
In the meantime, don't be surprised if the Am
ercan Ambassador to Berlin, who was recently
called home to report doesn't return to Berlir
for some time to come.

WPA AS PLAYGROUND MAKER

THE WPA is known and liked all over the country

in other crowded centers, the people Of those cen

the children. Here's the nub of the story.
At the edge of New York Citys lIels Kitchen

rearing walls of warehouses and office buildings
there was during the summer WPA "day camp

They went there rs if they were going to day

and they brought along wieners and potatoes tc

On the roof the sides protected by wire
netting, there were lean-toS made Of branches
scattered logs and stones, tent earth (in boXes)
and plants Gn pots) On that roof the children
rubbed sticks to make a fire. They roasted THEN
