One last word about the unrelia-
bility of our youngest generation in
being on time at home! AS wrote
in this column early this winter, to
boys and girls home for vacation,
disregard of time is the very thing
they like most! But that is because
everything they do at school or at
college is according to schedule.
Therefore. getting home away from
schedule is their idea of holiday.
Naturally they don't want to have
to hurry in from the beach so as to be
in time for lunch. They don't want to
stop playing tennis in the middle of
a set. in order not to be late for sup
per. Meals on time are not half so
important to them as finishing the
game that they're playing. or doing
what they're doing. and they care
very little about whether their meals
are hot or cold or spoiled, anyway.
Perhaps this argues that our young
est generation is going to throw time
into the discard. I'm sure this is not
true and that theirs is the exceptional
case. When they undertake the re-
sponsibility of starting a career - Of
holding down job - there is not a
chance that the factor Of timing is>
going to be overlooked.

HE not unusual question of
whether it is smart, or rude, to
be late is repeated this morning
in the following letter: 'Since you
have said that it is not smart to be

belief that lateness is smart ever be-
gan? Or will you at least explain how
it happens that the very fashionable.
or otherwise important, are alone per-
mitted this bad habit? Surely we have
all heard the question: Why are we
waiting?' Answer: Gloria Starr has
not yet arrived! and the delighted
-reply to this: oh. is she coming?' But
if Nellie Nobody is late, she catches
up as best she can or else she is left
behindr'
To this then I must answer that,
even though the picture drawn by my
reader is quite true so far as it goes,
it does not go very far. The fact
that Gloria is pardoned for lateness
really does not prove that it is smart
to be late. 1t merely proves that de-
fects are sometimes overlooked in
people with counterbalancing assets.

Poiss: Perfect Timing

Mosr people seem to admire poise.

many readers ask me about. The
poised person has perfect sense OF
timing. Such persons allow themselves

they are going to do, is done quietly.

efficiently.
This is machine age in which
time is vital factor. No men of
ability are careless about their busl-
ness appointments. They know only
too we'll that to be late will jam the
schedule of the whole day.
As for the idea that it pays girl
to keep the man who admires her
waiting. no man likes to wait any
where, ever. Whether it be in her
front hall waiting for her to go out
with him, or whether it be in the
lobby of the restaurant where she is
to meet him for lunch, not only does
he hate to wait but he hates to be
looked at by others who sooner or
later begin wondering whom he is
waiting for!
There are certain people who.
throughout their lives, are always late
for everything they do. Yesterday.

authentic episode which Robert
Buckner adeptly WOW into the NOV.
ing screen play. Michael Curtiz, one
of Hollywood's most skillful di'
rectors, filmed the production.
AS a Union Intelligence officer.
Kerry Bradford, portrayed by Enrol
Flynn, is sent to the new Virginia
City to track down a gold shipment
intended for the Confederacy, sent
by Southern sympathizers in Ne
vada. His romance with the Queen
Of Nevada's dance halls, Julia
Haynes, Miss Hopkins role, is short
lived when the girl has him kid
mapped and he learns she is a Con-
federate spy.
Bradford is taken prisoner on the
Southern gold caravan, led by Vance
Irby, played by Randolph Scott.
When attacked by bandits, led by a
notorious guerilla, portrayed by
Humphrey Bogart, it is Bradford
who outwits the band and saves the
caravan. He refuses to surrender
the gold, claiming it belongs to the
men who mined it. Held for court
martial, it is news of the wars end
that exonerates him in the eyes Of
the North, the South and Miss Julia
Haynes.
Accompanying the feature picture
is an unusually fine short program

caricature of the Danube and its
denizens. Pete Smith has a spot in
these shorts too, with comments on
a short perturbation of the Cana
