It's A WOn1nn:S World

Yesterday I mentioned Ma Fer
guson, grandmother who is
making political history. Today I
am going to discuss another
grandmother, one who is making
diplomatic history. 1t seems that
for some women life certainly be-
gins after forty.
This particular grandmother
is Daisy Hartman, socially known
as THE Mrs. j. Borden Hartman,
and officially known as our Am
bassadoress to Norway.
At sixty mine, Daisy Hartman

STRAND

Ending this evening at the popu-
lar Warner Bros. Strand theater is
Castle On The Hudson" with John
Garfield and Ann Sheridan: also
Richard Dix, Chester Morris and
Lucille Ball in The Marines Fly
High"
Tomorrow afternoon one of the
greatest novels of the present day
will come to the screen of the
Strand when "The Grapes of
Wrath" starring Henry Fonda with
an elaborate cast makes lite debut
at that theater.
Honestly and fearlessly, John
Steinbeck's masterpiece has been
translated into moving picture of
sensitive understanding and rare
power.
No doubt thousands of Strand
patrons will be delighted to see the
Joads come to life on the screen,
as they had lived in the book, vital,
warm human beings-life- battered
but with a rugged sense of humor.
The part of Tom Joad is played
by Henry Fonda while Jane DarWell
portrays that uncomfortable woman
of the soil, Ma Joad. Lanky John
Carrodine becomes easy, the
preacher, Grampa takes form in
Grapewin, and Doris Bowdon
handles the role coveted by every
young Hollywood actresses, that of
RoSaSharn.
AS the second big treat the
management presents Booth Tark-
ington's immortal classic Seven
teen" with Jackie Cooper and Betty
Field in the co-starring leads.
Attend the matinees regularly and
take advantage Of the Strands new
low prices. Matinee prices are 15c,
evenings 15c and 25s and children
are admitted at any time for 10c.
Make the Strand Q pleasant habit.

ONE GOOD TURN

If you do not have large room
in which to exercise, simply roll
over and over to the left, then back
over and over-to the right. This
is lust as efficacious as rolling from
one end of room to the other. Be
sure to keep arms folded across
chest, head up and feet, with ankles
together, off the floor. Try 20 rolls
a day to start, gradually increasing
the number until you are rolling
over and over at least 80 times a
day.
For the waistline, practice bend
ing backward, to the right and to
the left as we'll as forward. And re-
member to stretch several times
day. Try to touch the ceiling with
your hands. lift and stretch the
upper half of your body up and
away from the lower half. Give that

WINTER COUGHS AND
ASSORTED WHEEZES

1t is regrettable that the great
DR.. Osler was sa thoroughly i'm
bued with the belief that cold,
damp and changeable weather was
in itself a cause of respiratory
disease. In his lifetime Osler was
virtually canonized as doctor
(teacher) and his famous textbook
Practice of Medicine" is common
ly called the doctors bible" Not
only did DR.. Osler impart to his
students the world over the quaint
belief but, as Gushing so faithfully
reports in his great biography, d.
rectly attributed his own final ILL
ness to chilling in a cold lecture
room.

Put on the Spot

Following up the success scored
last year Shell Oil Company. Inc,
is again featuring this season the
popular "Share-the-Road" club,
which was created to launch a cru
SADIE against the discourteous mo-
florists on our streets and high
ways, according to M. X. Lakin,
local manager for the company
here.
The club will focus its attention
this year on another menace
the "Screwjay.' He is the pedes-
trian who crosses the street in the
middle of the block and disrupts
the steady flow Of cars, increasing
stop-and-go driving. The Screw
jay is step brother to the Screw
driver and leading traffic experts
agree that together they are re-
sponsible for more than one-third
of all stop-and-go delays in traffic.
New and improved emblems are
being featured this year, and Will
be given TO motorists who wish to
display their colors as being in
sympathy with this national move
ment on the part Of Shell TO In
crease interest In better traffic
manners. These emblems do dou-
BILE duty in that they glow at night
