SCIENCE MARCHES ON

T remember reading in the law books of Mississippi a statute which made it the duty of the ginner to destroy cottonseed at his gin,' Bill bo recalled. What do we find to- day?"
 Well, said Bilbo, what We find to- day is that so many products are made from cottonseed that if the farmer could get a "proportionate" share of the return from that alone, he could afford to grow cot ton Tor the seed and throw awty the lint"
 l From cottonseed, said Bilbo, come cooking oil, butter substitute, feed for cattle and fertilizer. Further l said he:
 1 There is a negro chemist down In Alabama who was once a slave and who has discovered 300 uses for the peanut. If the chemists will get busy with the cottonseed, have no doubt they will find as many uses for the cottonseed.
 What are the Japanese doing to- day? They are buying logs on the western seaboard, on the Pacific coast, hauling these logs all the way to Japan and converting the trees into cellulose, from which they are manufacturing rayon and shipping 1t back to the Pacific coast ard the Atlantic coast and selling the rayon to America"
 Mussolini found Italy short ot fabrics, Senator Bilbo said, and new cloth is being made in Italy from mix. However, a man in our of lice has pair oi Italian milk pants and he thinks the COW might as. well have kept them).

MT. Bilbo listed 27 products made rom stump juice, including per- fumes, disinfectants and stuff to re- move hair from pigs.
 WPA funds started a factory to make starch from sweet potatoes to replace a special starch imported from India. From what is left over laicohol and glue can be made-the kind of glue the U s. now imports Tor its stamps. Bilbo thought Sen- ators would prefer to lick sweet po- tato stamps, but he was shooting Wide there. Senators don't lick stamps. Mostly they mail free.
 Well, anyway, the amendment Senator Bilbo attached to the farm bill required the states to put up Sl 100000 for the four laboratories Then the Federal government would spend another million to equip them and million a year to operate them The SNnate snapped up the idea before the one-time wildman from Mississippi finished explaining it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. We take our science where we find it. and if we happen to find it in Senator Bilbo of Mississippi, be not afraid. His science had the over whelming support of the Senate.
 Senator Bilbo was against the farm bill tentatively shaped and passed by Congress. Like many an- other member of Congress, he an- nounced he was against it but would vote for it anyway.
 But before voting for 1t, Senator Bilbo attached to it an amendment providing for establishment of four experimental laboratories in four sections of the country to find new ways of using agricultural products. That, he said, is the way out of the crop surplus problem-better than blowing under.

Drapery Idea, for Chorus Girls, Coming Back
 Tn New York
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-There IS one actress on Broadway, a pretty creature, who instinctively IS able to tell whether play is going to succeed or fail. Several months ago she was cast in the lead of a drama that seemed headed for a biz run on Broadway. There was plenty of money behind it. The de- signers gave it a magnificent setting. The cast was superb one.
 Several days before opening she decided to leave the cast. Don't be foolish" her manager pleaded. This is going to be the hit of the town But she had her way, sac rificing, supposedly, a small for tune in salary. Then the play op-' ened. and ran through just four performances.
 Several seasons ago, before Zieg- field, Carroll, and White were through tossing rival musicals on the stage, and taking potshots at each other from ambush, the "chor- us" was the thing. The girls were stunningIy beautiful and the tunes were catchy. as for their costumes

passengers.

-aias, they were left more to the imagination than anything else This state of affairs caused Harry McNaughton, in one of his airy moments, to flip: Broadway musi- cal comedies have a lot of good ideas, but they don't wear any clothes"
 However, the current crop of mu- steals shows a trend, albeit slight one, back to the heavier draper idea. The gals, in spots, are pretty nude, but there are no such wholesale bre- yities as characterized the earlier school of musical comedy. Too, mu- sical plays with much plot are most ly hit and miss propositions. Broad way apparently has grown tired of operettas. Thirteen years ago "The Student Prince and The Vaga- bond King" were stunning success es; today their reception would hardly be more than polite.
 Al Shean, the lovaDle IlJtle monk Iof Father Malachy's Miracle IS star on Broadway at 70. But in his family TO makes him barely a juvenile. His father, magician, lived to be 101.
 With 'Amphitryon 38'' such hit in New York, Lynn Fonranne will probably have to give up her trip to Europe. Her idea of fun is rough ing it in the Alps or fishing for bass in some of those sylvan lakes where the mountains are reflected Ike techni-color photographs in the wa ter.
