At the HayWorth penthouse, Mrs.
Hayworth had also read Tanners

able to reconcile herself to the fact
that she had been defied.

thing about it?"
He'll never get rid of her with
my consent" The father Went on
reading, not looking up.
Mrs. Hayworth went on for a half
hour, but the syrup king refused
to be moved in his decision that
Cholly O'Neill stay in his employ.
The next day, still enraged, Mrs.
HayWorth packed and went to visit
her sister in Boston. Her husband
sighed with relief. That was the
one thing that would cool Carrie off.

his hand-"we'Il see what you can

He's a pretty good friend of mine

Myra was reading Tanners radio
column in Terry's dressing room at
the cafe when she learned that
Chollv ONeil had enrolled in the
~television contest. She wadded the
paper into a ball and threw it into
the corner.
When Romany Halle withdrew
from the contest, she had breathed
with ease. There surely was no rea-
son why she shouldn't win the title.
But the red-head was a definite
threat. She said, s%ullenly, when Ter
~ came in the door after his act:
Did you read Tanner? That
ONeil girl is going TO run for the
teIevisicn title"
Terry nodded. Yeah, I saw it."
We'll. why didn't you tell me?'.
Myra watched him closely.
oh" Terry shrugged, I thought
you'd see it for YOURSELF
of course" Myra shifted. "she
hasn't got a chance. Nobody's ever
heard of her"
oh. no. Terry lit a ciearet.
She's the fastest-shooting star Chi
cago has ever seen. In a year from
now Cho7ly ONeil will be the h;5-
gest female name in radio. Shes
another Kate Smith. And she's got
the edge on Kate because she pays
the piano and is a television WOW.

Building Bones


No scientist can make bones by
shaking up a mixture of calcium and
phosphorus in test tube. But in the
body, through some complicated pro-
cesses, these two minerals are COM
bined to make up a large proportion of
the rigid structure of the bones and
teeth.
Of course, other substances are re-
quired for the building of bones. One
of the most important is vitamin D,
although this vitamin does not ac-
tually go into the structure of the
bones. Vitamin D must be present to
help the body in absorbing the cal
cium and phosphorus, but it will not
take the place of either mineral.
As children grow, they build bones
at rapid rate. So a supply of calcium
and phosphorus and vitamin D is par
ticularly important for them. Even
before a child is born, his bones and
teeth are forming. Then during in
fancy and early childhood these soft
structures are becoming hard firm
bones. Besides, the child's bones be-
come longer and thicker as he grows.
When the child does not get suffi-
Gent calcium, phosphorus and vitamin
d a disease, known as ricketts,. is likely
to develop. And the mlucky child may
have bow legs, flat chest, and other
misformed bones for the rest of his
life.
