THE WOMEN
-WE, THE WOMEN Elderly Women Can Get Lesson In Gllnption From Grandma Moses

alongside her fifty paintings were some of her more practical works of art-home-baked bread, rolls and cake, and preserves that had won prizes for her at the county fair.
 Grandma Moses condded to New Workers that her children hadn't thought much of her taking up art. They thought she could think up a more useful hobby.
 But she went right ahead and started painting figuring that a 87 a person had a right to a foolish hobby.
 Grandma Moses ought to be an inspiration to grandmas all over the country. Not that every granny wants to paint pictures, or could paint well enough to impress crit icS.
 ITS NEVER TOO LATE
 The lesson other grandmothers could learn from Grandma Moses is that it is never too late to trot out an undeveloped talent or hid den desire and start having fun.
 Children may not be sympathetic They may even say, What in the world do you think you're doing?' but that doesn't make any differ ence.
 By the time woman has become 8 grandma she ought to be able to stand a. little Encouragement. And she ought to be wise enough to know that whatever new interest she takes up is worthwhile - whether anyone thinks so or not - if she is at last doing something she always wished she had time to do.

STATE

Winding up four day engage ment at the Warner Bros. State theater this evening is Seven Sim ners" starring Marlene Dietrich with big cast; also Penny Single ton, Arthur Lake and Larry Simms in Blonde Plays Cupid"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in another giant weekend show with Lady With Red Hair" starring Miriam Hopkins as the headliner of the bill.
 The film tells the story of the Dayton girl whose blazing red locks and ambitious green eyes fascinated generation of theatergoers in the Gay Nineties era. Miriam Hopkins will be seen in the role of Mrs. Les lie Carter, the actress who became internationally famous during the glittering era at the tur0 of the century.
 Drama of Mrs Carter's life be- gins when her staid husband, scion of wealthy and conservative Chi cago family, divorceS her and wins legal custody of their little boy. It is then that she VOWS she will be- come a famous and wealthy actress so that she can come back to Chi cago and claim her son.
 With her mother, who is DOT trayed in the film by Laura Hope Crews, she goes to New York and straight to young David Belasco, played by Claude Rains. The youthful Belasco is amused at her naivety in thinking that he would star a completely inexperienced actress in one of his plays. She refuses anything less than star dom, however, and somewhat to his own surprise he finds himself agreeing with her. The rest of her career is well-known stage history. An overnight sensation, Mrs. Car ter becomes an international leg end, talked about everywhere, envied and copied by women, adored by men.
 Others in the cast include Rich ard Ainley, Mona Barrie, Helen Westley and Helen Mallard

GlouWng Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA seryice staff Writer


 No woman can or should want to try to lock the same during her mature years as she did when she was much younger.
 In other words, the 35-year- -old should know that the hair-do which was ultra becoming when she was 25 is not exactly right now. She should realize that she can't get away with a little rosebud of a mouth any more than she can get away with "cute" clothes. She must strive for sophisticated, mature ef- fleets rather than little girl get-ups.
 As she grows older, her skin tones change, of course. And the powder, 1ipstick and other makeup which was becoming when she was very young just won't be f1attering at all.
 THRERE ARE
 CONVERSATIONS
 All of which needn't be discour- aging. Once you are past thirty, you can wear extreme hats, more eye makeup in the evening, exotic per- fume and half a dozen other things you admired but couldn't wear when you were twenty.
 If you are to remain popular and interesting to others, your way of thinking, your reading habits and your conversation must necessarily change with the years. The girl Of 20 may be able to- get away with be- ing intolerant of others, but intol- erance stamps the woman of 35 as just plain mean.
 BAD TEMPER
 IS NOT AMUSING
 A show of bad temper may be ln- teresting, even amusing, in the very young. A show of bad temper is any thing but interesting or amusing in the mature person. People expect her to know something about what self-control means. If she proves that she doesn't they are justifiably shocked.
 You have to be extremely young and extremely pretty to be able to get by with anything less than inn peccable grooming. The heater, cleaner and more meticulously turn ed out the mature woman is, the more attractive and younger she | looks.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Cold Pale Feet
 For three or four years have had cold feet and legs and they looked pale and felt numb much of the time. I began taking your Iodin Ra- tion and for the past few months my feet and legs are warm and pink again. I don't know whether the iodin did it, but certainly I feel grateful GA. O.
 Answer-Anyway the Iodin Ration can do no harm to any adult-n fact nearly all growing children and adults need more iodine than they are likely to get in food or water. For instructions for taking the io- dine ration send stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Wheat Germ
 Will I get the same vitamin value from wheat germ by soaking it in water over night and drinking just the water? (Mrs. B. E. B.)
 Answer-No. Some of the vitamin B would be dissolved in the water, but most of it remains in the solid food.
 Quaint Lemon ObSeSsiOn
 Please tell me whether lemons dry up the blood, and how much can you take? I like glass of raw lem- on before each meal-will that hurt me? (G. E.)
 Answer-On the contrary it will improve your blood and hearth three lemons or their juice every day will do you good if you like it before meals or at any other time. Protected by John F. Dille Co.)

 The Penn State champions won their match on today's hand be- cause George Mcclure realized that his North-Sout opponents would probably play the hand at spades. He could see that their only possible losers were two hearts, so in order to win the board, he had to make at least five no trump. Therefore he promptly took the club finesse and when 1t held he had won the match, as five no trump counts ten points more than i've spades.

 Far from being silly, your dream may have sober significance, real message. Many dreams do.

Exhaustive Tests
In Soundproofing

New Ford owners may not rea-
lie the exhaustive research that
preceded quiet performance of
their 1910 cars, but there is an
interesting story behind the new
advances in soundproofing, accord
ing to w. c. Patterson. Pacific
Northwest manager of the Ford
Motor company.
A variety Of scientific instru-
ments were used by Ford research
ers to trace elusive car noises ac-
cording to Patterson. Microphones
were hung at ear level in moving
cars. and connected with instru-
ments to measure volume of sound
under varying conditions. Stetho-
scopes. such as are used by doc
tors, helped to locate the source
of sounds inside the car.
Car noises often seem to come
from one place when their source
Is actually in a different spot,
Patterson pointed out. Directional
microphones were used to solve
the problem of the echoes and
trace sounds to their origin. Engi-
neers rode in all parts of the car,
including the luggage compart-
ment. to trace origin of these
sounds.
Another important instrument
used in the soundproofing research
was the sound level meter The
hanging microphone converts
sounds into electrical current,
which is amplified and accurately
measured on voltmeter. With the
car in motion. engineers took con-
tinuous readings on the volume Of
sound at all speeds
