Glenn Darwin, youthful Metro politan baritone, has been chosen by Grace Moore to be the first conten- der for stardom as the famed prima donna's leading man in radio and pictures. Darwin will be heard with Miss Moore on the first of her new series of programs with Andre Kos telanetz and Deems Taylor to be broadcast over the CBS Network every Wednesday beginning March 30, from 800 to 9:30 p. m., EST. Several tenor and baritone competi- tors, one on each program, will fol- low Darwin. At the conclusion Of the contest, Miss Moore will en- deavor to select from these guest soloists an artist best combining vocal gifts with appearance and dramatic ability.
 Edward and Gertrude Owens, two high school children who every day walk and row thirty five miles to get to school. will head the list of guests on Gabriel Heaters "We, The People" Thursday, at 7:30 p. m., EST. over
 the WABC- Columbia network. A
 throwback to the early days when an education was extremely diffi- cult to obtain, when Abraham Lincoln once walked sixteen miles to borrow a book, is the present. day experience of the Owens children. Living on Limestone Mountain, near St. George, West Va., they get up for school each
 morning at thirty. They make their way down the moun- tain by lantern light, then the boy rows across the river while his sister flashes the lantern ahead. On reahcing the main highway they trudge the remaining ten
 miles to their scho0l-house in Parson. In the course of a year, they each travel 1860 miles going to school.

 He formerly was vice president of the governmental labor officials of North America and was a U. s. representative in 1886 to the Inter- national Labor Conference at Gen. eva.

ure of assurance that many Of
the diseases peculiar to the
overweights will not come their
way, and in turn means a longer
span Of life.
Losing such an amount of
weight has thinned my face
somewhat and I wonder if you
could advise me what exercise or
treatment I could do myself to
firm my face. It does not look
at all bad but has sagged and
think it needs some massage
and some good cream.
IT would be grateful to you
if you would advise me on this
part, also please send me the set
of exercises you recommend. My
legs are still heavier than they
should be, so are my upper arms,
otherwise, have become stream
lined.
Thanking you for your kind
help and assuring you of my

We appreciate your nice letter,
and I am sending you exercises
to firm the muscles of the face
and arms, also to reduce the

cises along with the massage
will firm your skin nicely.

NV Dear Miss Blake:

My Dear Miss Blake:
We were in art school togeth-
er. Very much in love, but we
decided that marriage and
careers didn't mix. We agreed
that marriage would be out of
the question for either of us for
years. We went along, great pals
but with no further thoughts
on the Subject-or so I thought.
It came as a bombShell one
evening when she said she
would stop seeing me. Finally
she confessed she had changed
her mind about marriage
she hoped to meet so neone
whom she would marry and
then ablish a home.
Thoughts raced madly-I saw
red-what, my girl marry some
one else! Never! Yes, we are
married now, and believe me,
marriage and careers DO mix.
P. J., City.

Dear Miss Blake:
In the course of our friendship,
my girl friend and I visited a
few married couples. On one oc-
caSion we were both invited to
attend a party where most of
those present we're married
young couples. It was when we
were returning from the affair
that my companion said: How
much happier were those who
were married than those who
were not"
And so it came to passive
were married soon after and
truthfully, we are much happier
today than we were before the
big event.

Bruise or mash fourtee
quarts of blackberries, add to
them fourteen pints of water
and let stand for twenty-four
hours. Take fourteen pounds of
sugar and the whites of four
eggs (Well beaten), let it come
to a boil, then skim well. Let
this stand until almost cold,
then mix with the juice of the
berries. Put it in jugs and let
it stand eight days to ferment.
Keep out some of the juice to
fill up the jugs as it runs off
while fermenting. Then strain
it, put in bottles and cork
tightly for three months, after
which time it will be ready for
use. Add two quarts of best
whisky or brandy to this guam
tity. This makes five gallons.

He has nice ways. What can I
do about these boys? L."
In other words the boy who
likes you does not click with you
and, from what you say, the boy
you like doesn't care anything
for you. Now don't you see the
situation? You despise the boy
who affronts you with his ad-

who doesn't want you? Don't
you suppose he is aware OF your

She's Long Since
Outmoded

The girl of yesterday-and
already the mannish young lady
is becoming outmoded-was en-
treated to be a good sport, pal,
a comrade. She was urged to
tell good stories, and when told
ito be square" she was about
as near as she came to that old
definition of lady, that stood for
so much throughout the ages.
Suddenly, like a thief in the
night, the change sneaked upon
us. The young lady, whose
clothes tried to do away with
every suggestion of sex, and who
was Just a little bit more hard
boiled than any boy of her
acquaintance, became a vision
of challenging femininity. Her
skirts billowed; there was more
fullneSS to them than those her
grandma flounced and curtSied
in, and her bobbed hair showed
more curls than the colored
prints of Godey's Lady's Book.
Thought Herself
Charming
Glancing in her mirror, Miss
String-Bean of a little while ago
saw that she was quite charm
ing. These fluffS and frills and
billowing skirts, not to mention
the curls and braidS, brought
out her good points in greater
degree than slacks and flannel
skirts.
It was then that she had a
bright inspiration. Why not go
in for the charming manners,
the courtesy, the soft voice
that excellent thing in woman
that went with the frou-frou
Of her skirts and the flutter of
her curlS?
The other day, the writer went
to one of those smart charity
displays, where for price, you
look at art and heirloom for
some righteous cause. A lovely
young creature in a billowing
skirt greeted me with a raptur-
Gus smile and offered to show
me about. AS the requirements
OF the newspaper profession de-
mand taking trains and planes
from dawn to midnight, as the
occasion may require, I had
horrible feeling that I might
have suddenly gone blind, halt
or have become otherwise inca
pacitated.
All Showed
Their Manners
But not at all. 1t was just
that manners had become charm
ing again, and before I finished
examining the old silver, pewter
and one of the late Queen Vic
toria's camels hair shawls at
least four other charming young
creatures had offered to show
me about, get my tea, or show
me any of the locked treasures

wrote the "floogee," take the

a banjo and a bass fiddle the
boys do some real neat har-

Also taking a high spot in the
show is Ace Harris and his Sun

of the most versatile crews OF
musicians on the road, the or

Now at MET"

-Four Daughters" Fannie
Hurst's story which Michael
Curtiz has made into q lively
and enchanting bit of entertain
ment, is playing currently at
Warner Brothers Metropolitan,
in its second downtown week.
This is a sentimental tale of
a family in a small town some
where in these broad United
States, a family which is COM
prised of a musically apprecia-
tive father his four delightfully."-
talented daughters, a grand old
maiden aunt and the family
dog.
Theirs is a house Of broad
verauGas, comfortable furniture,
an onen fireplace and complete
understanding and mutual en-
joyment; into this house of
charm, which smells of fresh
bread baking and gingerbread In
the making, there comes a four
some of men. different as the
stars are different; one is the
boy next door, shy, gentle. sin
cere: one is a boy, brilliant in
mind. a gay. light-nearted COM
panion; one is a boy who has
been bounded through his short
life by the utter futility Of his
being. the fourth is a man, self
made whose wealth is some
thing he displays in expensive
gifts and rakish motor cars;
these four spell romance to the
daughters of this house but in
the short telling of the story and
the adjustment of their temper
aments, the scale of human emo
tions IS touched note by note
and there ale tears, laughter,
real tragedy and much happi-
ness and as though that were
not enough, there is music,
sweet. eloquent and gay.
Three Lane girls, Lola, Rose
mary and Priscilla, with Gale
Page are the principals with
Claude Rains giving his usual
practically perfect performance;
May Robson, grand old lady of
the films, John Garfield and
Jeffrey Lynn are particularly
good.
Added features include Vita
phone musical speciality glorify-
ing Hawaii and its music, a
neWsreel of world interest and a
Popular Science reel in which
the American Air Forces are
given the spotlight. It's a good
show! You'll like it! K. Y.
