SIXTY PER CENT
SALES INCREASE
OF OLDSMOBlLE

A sharp rise in retail deliveries OF
Oldsmobile skies and Fights during
the last 10 days of March, brought ma
tional sales volume for that period to
6,3S2 units, an increase Of 60 per cent
over sales in the previous 10 days,
It was stated today by D. E. Ralston,
general sales manager for Oldsmo-
bile. The figure also represented an
improvement of approximately 43 per
cent over the ATT Oldsmobiles sold
during the last 10 days of March, 1888
and exceeded the volume recorded for
any Today sales period since August
lilo in 1887.
"For the month of March as a
whole, Oldsmobile retail sales rose to
14,304 units, or 48 per cent better
than in March of year ago." Ralston
said. "By the end of March we had
built approximately 100000 of the
1889 model Oldsmobiles, more than
we built during the entire 1888 model
rum"
Ralston added that the used car sit
uation among the Oldsmobile retail
organization is equally bright. Sales
of used cars so far during 1889 show
a substantial increase over the CORE
spending period of 1888, while used
car inventories in the hands of deal
ers are considerably lower than they
were a year ago.

-WE THE WOMEN Husband Shows 1939 Chivalry By Helping Wife With Dishes

it wasn't very hard for men to treat them with elaborate courtesy.
 "Today's men never get away from women. They live, work and play with them. So when they treat them with consideration and a few special courtesies, 1t really means something.
 Besides, I'll bet any woman would rather have man help her with dishes-that's 1899 chivalry- than kiss her hand and let her do them alone"
 MT. Fairbanks, who has lived abroad much of his 29 years thinks women are wrong in believeing that European men treat women with greater deference than American Cor British) men. "It's true," he says they show more finesse, but 1t doesn't mean anything. It's just empty form. A European man will kiss woman's hand in manner that is beautiful to see, but he wouldn't hesitate to take a sock at her ten minutes later if she did something that happened to displease him."

Hitting 8 new high in entertain ment "The Ice Follies of 1939," starring Joan Crawford with James Stewart, Lew Ayres and Lewis Stone, opened four-day engage ment starting yesterday at Loew- Poli theater.
 "The Ice Follies of 1939" contains the happy combination of plot, ex- travaganza, and some of the best tunes to come out of Hollywood this season. It features Joan Craw- ford in the type of role which sky rocketed her to screen fame.
 in addition introduces her to audi ences as 8 new find in film Slog- stresses.
 The story centers about Mary Me- Kay, singing ice skater who, through 8 series of strange twists of fate, finds herself on the top rung of the ladder to film fame. Her quick ascent, however, leaves husband Jimmie Stewart behind and the manner in which the two are finally reunited supplies plenty of punch to the dramatic action of the story.
 As Mary Mckay, Joan Crawford scars to new heights of film popu- larity. She lends herself to the role with new abandonment, her voice, in three popular songs, is individ- ual and appealing and her portrayal leaves no room for improvement. Particularly interesting are Miss Crawford's scenes when, as new conner to the studio, she is subjected to the many tests necessary in the moulding of star.
 James, Stewart, as Miss Craw- lords husband, has been happily cast. Sentimental, sincere, he gives to his role that naturalness which characterizes all of his screen ap- pearances and which has placed him in the category of the screens most popular leading men. Lew Ayres, too, will add his already long list of loyal fans as Jimmie's part ner, Eddie Burgess, whose wise- cracks dominate many of the dramas lighter moments. The spectacular ice pallets include the entire group of the original Ice Fol- lies.
 On the same program is an hilari- ous comedy, My Wife's Relatives" ," featuring James, Lucille and Rus sell Gleason, with Mary Hart and an all-star cast of film favorites.
 Another great Broadway vaude- vile show will headline the Loew- Pon program for Wednesday even- ing. Be sure not to miss 1t!

 Several readers ask for rules for cooking heart.
 Tenderness, despite the poets, is not the nature of heart, for the heart must work hard and exercise toughens 1t.
 However, long slow cooking and careful preparation will send cooked heart to the table in tender ness and rich flavor.
 Calf, pork, and lamb hearts are both smaller and more tender than beef hearts. But one beef heart will be enough for the average family. A lambs heart serves one bountifully, a pork heart serves two, not very bountifully, and salf heart serves two in a generous way.
 Soak in Sour Milk
 Wash heart in a large quantity of warm water. Cut away a few of the veins and arteries. Soak a while in sour milk to increase tenderness.
 To cook in water, cover heart with water, using l teaspoon salt for every quart. Simmer until tender about to 1-2 hours for beef, but for veal, lamb or pork hearts only about 1-2 hours.
 To praise, heat fat in pan and brown prepared heart on all sides Add about 1-2 cup stock. Season and cover, and cook very slowly

M The Local Theaters
STATE

Plenty of honest to goodness thrills and highly emotional drama are in store for theatergoers when they witness the new comedy drama, Made for Each Other" which opened its four-day engagement yes- terday at the Warner Bros. State theater. It not only introduces a new screen starring team in Carole Lombard and James Stewart, but it brings Miss Lombard forward in a type of role far removed from the cycle of daffy and nit-wit charac- terizations which have brought her to the top of the screens list of comediennes. Miss Lombard, in a word, plays straight dramatic role and she does it stirringly and bril- liantly.
 The story introduces us to Jane and Johnny Mason, a young couple deeply in love. Marriage follows a whirlwind courtship, and although the sweethearts are dedicated to the proposition that they are made for each other" the patterns of every- day life catch up with them.
 The highlight of the film is a thrilling race against death from Salt Lake City to New York city, with the picture moving grippingly to a smash hit climax which will thrill you for months to come.
 Outstanding in the supporting cast are Charles Coburn, Lucille Watson, Ruth Weston, Eddie Quillan and Donald Briggs.
 An exciting racket picture King of Chinatown" is seen as the second big hit. Starred in the leads are Apna May Wong and no other than Akim Tamiroff, brilliant character actor. Many famous character play- CTS are included in the supporting cast.
 Starting Tuesday the management of the State brings to its patrons an all request program comprised of two thrilling and delightful produce tions.
 Spotlighting the bill will be a mystery romance Star of Midnight" co-starring, two favorites, Ginger Rogers and William Powell. The second return hit 'The Lost Patrol brings together rough and ready Victor McLaglen and Boris Crank enstein) Karloff.

AND CALORIES ARE CALORIES
 WHATEVER SAY

W AASA A ~ A<AS A SkA4
 Tn an article on Sugar published here, appropriately, St. Valentines day the chucklehead responsible for this column, despite his years of ex- perience as an interpreter of techni- cal language for the casual reader, chalked up another bad miss. It now appears that throughout the Sugar article Old Chucklehead re- ferred to sugar as "cane sugar" and never once mentioned beet sugar. So now a number of readers, not all engaged in the sugar beet or beet sugar industry, wonder, some sin- cerely and some sarcastically, whether I am allegic to beet sugar or perhaps just 8 whimsical old lady ...
 Come, come, now, 1t is not quite fair to seize upon an obvious slip like that and begin calling fellow names for it. I'd rather take full blame than search my own files for the evidence, but I know I have re- ferred more than once to the iden- tity of beet sugar and cane sugar. Either or both being the same sugar, namely, sucrose, it makes no differ ence whether 1t grows in beets, grasses, trees or fruits. Sucrose con- stitutes about half the solid matter of pineapples and of some roots such as carrots, but the chief commercial sources of sucrose are sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum canes or grass es, the sugar palm, the sugar maple. About one-fourth of the total United States sugar consumption is beet sugar grown and processed within the continental limits of the United States. The per capital consumption of sugar has increased from 68 pounds a year in 1901 to 109 pounds year in 1926. It is probably still higher today.
 The fuel value of sugar is 1900 calories per pound. What proportion of the per capita totals is actually ingested and what proportion is wasted or fed to animals in one way or another is problematic. Prof. Sherman Chemistry of Food and Nutrition and Food Products, Mac iAllidAlI OUcCIVCo IIldI lA tllC pcI Cdp- ita consumption of sugar is 100 pounds year, the average person must derive about one-fourth of the daily energy requirement. from sugar that is, 800 of the 1000 per capita calories, and that the intake of pro- tein, phosphorus, calcium, iron and vitamins is proportionately dimin- ished. In the light of newer knowl- edge of nutrition we cannot assume that the ordinary dietary of the people in the United States furnish es such an abundance of these ele- ments that the large sugar consump- ton is of no consequence. Sherman suggests that it would be an im- provement to reduce sugar consump- tion and get the needed energy by increased consumption of other foods.
 A teaspoonful of sugar yields ap- proximately 30 calories, and so does lump of sugar.
 The sugar in the sugar bowl is nearly pure sucrose and the same in taste, digestibility and nutritive

Household Hints
GlorNing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service stafr Writer)

You've been eating less and exer- cising more until your figure is suave and svelte and perfectly rounded in the 1899 manner.
 You've brushed your hair nightly until it's gleaming with health and in perfect readiness to receive your new Easter permanent. Your skin is smooth and clear, with translucent look about 1t like a child's. e,-
 In spite of all this, you don't seem to yourself to be especially en- thusiastic about the first tulips in your garden or the lovely clothes you've been looking at in your favor ite shops.
 Well then, perhaps what you need is new viewpoint, a fresh outlook on life in general. You can get it, you know. And in spite of the fact that 8 vacation or a complete new wardrobe or a cruise are not in the cards.
 How? By forcing yourself to de- velop one entirely new interest out side of your daily work. Scof at hobbies if you like, but the fact re- mains that the woman who has great interest in something-be it needlepoint, music, poetry or what ever-seldom finds herself with jaded appetite for life at any time of year.
 Effective, too, is sticking to resolution to read two non-fiction books a month and the morning paper carefully every single day in- stead of skipping from headline to headline through it.
 Also, for one month, try getting eight hours sleep every single night, walking one mile day and eating large green salad and fruit every day for lunch. It all sounds pretty strenuous doesn't it? But this or a similar Spartan routine un- doubtedly will wake YOU up.
 Sleeping enough at night and forcing your mind to be really &C., tive during the day will go long way toward curing your present lethargy.

 A low club was ruffed by South and over-ruffed by West, but now West could do nothing to defeat the contract. He led low heart, dunn my discarded a club and East ruffed. Now South had to make diamond return. If West used his spade king. declarer had all the other tricks.

Contract Bridge
Sometimes It's Wiser Not to Ruff at Your First Opportunity

South's bidding would have been rather ridiculous except for the cir- cumstances He did not want to let the opponents make a cheap game with their part score, yet was afraid that his partner, beginner, would take no positive action even if he held fairly good hand. Ordinarily it is unwise for a player to take charge of the bidding. In this case, however, South found a better dunn my than he deserved, and brilliant play brought home tEe contract.
 The opening lead found the de- clarer with a major problem on his hands. After some thought, he wisely decided to discard a heart from dummy instead of ruffing. East won with the ace of diamonds and returned the jack of hearts, South winning with the ace.
