E. M. WI have had quite a
number of young men in love with
me but each affair ended in "smoke
dreams" Now l find at the age of
25 l do not have a steady friend.
What can l do?
Ans: Be more sociable and wor-
ry less because you aren't married.
Take stock of your general appear
ance and look your best at all times
=. do not depend on just one boy
friend but go out with several at a
time until the right one comes

P. C. B.-I expect to take a
course in nursing, cooking, or
something of this kind and wonder
which would be the best for me.
1 am not in a position to train or
to complete my education.
Ans: Why not take up both?
Since your desire is to do domestic
work, it is always well to be
trained for anything that should
come up in the home. You are
using mighty good judgment in
taking a course of study instead
of trying to look for work with
out even being prepared.
H. V.-Mr. Wallace, l need help.
l am too poor to go back to school
and 1 don't have anyone to help me,
and l would like to hear from you
what would be the logical thing
for me to do. You see, my sister
tells me that l must help myself
by getting a job but l don't know
how. l will be II my next birth
day.
Ans: It's unfortunate that you
cannot complete your education,
but since it is impossible stop
worrying and get you job. Many
youngsters have to go to work be-
fore they are your age, and if you
are Industrious enough, you can
work during the day and go to
classes at night. You have the
wrong idea about life =. you won't
find someone to take you and care
for you unless you expect to pay
for such kindness.
l. T.-Why do all the boys l love
go to some other town or city where
l can't see them often?

Finlandia
Male Chorus
Constitution Hall
Concert Heard by
Huge Audience
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A capacity audience growing more
and more enthusiastic as the pro-
gram progressed greeted the Fin
lahdia Male Chorus which had
stopped in Washington on its first
American tour last evening for a
concert in Constitution Hall. The
concert, given under the auspices of
the Self-Help Exchange. had long
and distinguished patron list. headed
by Mrs. Roosevelt. But before long
1t was evident that this group of
singers directed by Prof. Heikki
Klemetti had enough to offer to
warrant the interest of the public
even without its worthy objective
or the name of those who sponsored
1t here.
The rs members are chosen sing
ers from the top ranking singing
groups of Finland and the quail
ity of their voices is beautifully
matched. There is a healthiness in
the sound, a freshness and virility
that has no equal among other
visiting groups. While the BASES do
not have the startling sorority of
the Don Cossacks they have greater
melloWness, while at the other range
OF tonal color, the tenors are ex-
ceptionally fine. Between the two
extremes, the balance of tonal hue
Is excellently maintained.
The unaccompanied singing of the
Finlandia Chorus is crisp and true
from technical standpoint and the
thorough training of Prof. Klemetti
and his assistant conductors shows
In the uniformity of musical effects
and the smoothness of their accom-
plishment The fresh, unspoiled
spirit which animates their work
brings a sense of true emotion into
their singing of works representative
Of the thought and poetry of their
country.
A touch of loneliness is ever pres
ent In this music no matter how gay
the text, which the excellently de-
vised manner of translation in the
booklets accompanying the program
gave the listeners opportunity to
follow intelligently. Two of the most
beautifully illustrative of this quail
ity was Genetz's "Suruisena" and
Prof. Klemetti's "Ero." Also out
standing In their poetic and musi-
cal harmony were Palmgrens
Hidden orjien laulu" and "Vid
milan" Two songs by Tornudd car
ried the greatest appeal of contrast
ing effects, his delightful "Fridolin
dansar" and the deeply dramatic
"Loitsu' having to be repeated.
Songs expressive of the evening
charm were grouped together begin
ming with Jarnefelt's "Sirkka" and
programming further the softly
toned "Hamaran aania" by Made
toja. The final group gave promi-
nence to the renowned composer
Sibelius with his "Metsamiehen Lau-
lu," Herr Lager" and "Terve kuu"
concluding with Kuula's ''Nuijamies-
ten marssi."
Two soloists of distinctive vocal
gifts were heard in some of the num-
bers, Arnold Tilgmann's unusually
fine tenor carrying the solo part of
Genetz's "Suruisena" and Kajanus'
Min nina neitonen" and Sulo
Saarits' warm and resonant baritone
registering effectively in Klemetti's
"Ero" and Genetz's "Voi jos ilta
joutuisi."
The charm of this polished and
skillful singing brought applause at
every opportunity which Prof. Klem-
etti, whose inspired directing was the
source back of it all, was called upon
repeatedly to accept from a warmly
appreciative audience.

that Is what it sounds like), the
company is trying to decide the
question of mans shadow in the
picture It Is not whether the shadow
should be there. but whether it
should be the silhouette of a we'll
known actor or a $3.50 extra with
figure that would make good out
line of Norma Shearer's husband.
Miss Glare Boothe's original stage
play merely brought the husband in
by bit of abusive dialogue. Some
of it made him sound like a mis-
guided dope, other bits like a classic
heel. It achieved precisely the ef-
feet that Miss Boothe wanted at
given moment and there never was
a question of needing a shadow.
The movies, however, are going to
use the shadow. Offhand it would
seem that any old shadow would
satisfy the requirements, but that
undoubtedly is because we don't
know anything about the nuances of
movie-making 1t is matter of
audience Imagination, the studio
feels. If it has enough imagination,
the shadow of tall, dark and hand
some extra would suffice to give it
suitable impression of what the non
appearing husband is like. If it does
not 1t would be better to give the
customers the silhouette of we'll
known actor, recognition of which
would impose no strain in endowing
him with the right qualities.
Boy, is that problem?

If 1t is not, perhaps the one con-
fronting Paramount is more to your
liking. Paramount is out to find
an accent. The accent is that of
an American girl who has been
reared by a Mandarin family, who
learned first to speak Mandarin
Chinese and then much later added
English to her lingual resources.
What kind of accent would her
English have in such a case?
Having no notion itself, never
having encountered an American
girl who learned to speak Mandarin
Chinese before acquiring an ability

went in quest of a technical ad-

Obviously the technical director
would have to be a Chinese girl
whose English sprung from vocal
chords to which Mandarin was ma
tive. That kind of Chinese girl
is scarce in this country. Most of
them come from Southern China,
where Cantonese is the dialect, a
quite different thing from Man.

Blind Miner Digs Daily
On Utah Mountain Slope

SALT LAKE CITY.-Totally blind
and alone, James Newman digs
daily for gold along the slopes of
the Wasatch mountains just east OF
Salt Lake City in the hope he will
some day make 'strike" that will
bring him wealth, and, possibly, re-
stored eyesight.
Newman was blinded 10 years ago
when a dynamite charge exploded
prematurely.
Anxious to return to his claim,
Newman was back on the job al
most before his wounds healed. But
despite his handicap, he is far from
helpless. He knows every inch Of
his 60O-foot hillside shaft. Daily he
drills, blasts, mucks, lays rails and
cuts ties. He has built the shaft
eight feet high for maximum safety.
But when and if he unearths the
precious metal, he must rely on
friends to tell him. So far his
STRIKES" have been minor ones.
Newman has been digging for
gold minus his sight for 10 years.
But he's so sure he'll chit that he's
prepared to dig another decade.

GOVERNOR DIRECTS BROADCAST
TO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
AND BOYS
AND BOYS

Annapolis, December Sin his
broadcast asking for statewide
cooperation for the Maryland Traffic
Safety Committees December Safety
Week, Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
directed a particular appeal to the
younger drivers of the State, and to
those high school boys and girls who
are now learning scientifically how
to drive. 81 refer prticularly", the
Governor declared, "to the young
men and women of high school age
or older who have secured their
operators license in the last sew
eral years, and to that great group
of younger high school boys and
girls who are just learning to drive,
preparatory to securing their opera
tors licenses. Not only are these
Young persons a problem from the
standpoint of actual driving, but as
pedestrians, they constitute one OF
the most difficult-to-handle groups,
because records have shown that
many fatal accidents occur before
and after school hours, when these
young people are going to and from
their homes"
The Governor also directed at
tention to the fact that December
which, because of the holiday sea-
son, ought to be the happiest month
of the year, is in fact the saddest
month for many families because OF
the high number of traffic fatalities.
He urged special care during the
holiday season, when the young
people are all home from school,
and dashing about gaily from party
to party.

Shark Fishing Is Now
Million-Dollar Industry

Since the comparatively recent
discovery that the livers of soup-fin
sharks constitute the best source of
Vitamin A, shark fishing on the Pa
cific coast has become a million
dollar industry.
With six companies operating with
specialized equipment now, and with
the industry in its infancy, fisher
men, reduction companies and pack
ers alike predict that it is destined
to become one OF the greatest in
dustries on the coast.
Fishing is being carried on from
Mexico to Alaska. Last year $780,
600 sharks were caught in Califor-
MIA waters while vast quantities OF
livers were sent here for reduction
from other states.
Packers point out that extensive
research work still will be neces-
sary to develop all the possibilities
of the industry, not only from the
standpoint of the extraction of Vita
min A, but for use of all the by
products.
While the liver remains the most
important element of the shark, yet
the flesh is already being used ex-
tensively as food, some for fertiliz-
err and also for food for chickens
and animals.
The industry is confident that
eventually good quality of leather
can be produced from the skin.
Exploration work has yet to be
undertaken, they say, to discover
the habits of the shark, what it
eats, if and where it migrates and
what equipment is best adapted to
handle the fish.
Up to now most of the shark fish
ing has taken place from boats con-
structed especially for sardine and
halibut fishing. When shark fishing
is fully developed as major indus
try, it's hackers here declare that it
will all take place from specialized
boats and with specialized equip
ment.
At present packers are paying
fishermen SIS ton for sharks and
~ cents a pound for the livers alone.
