A woman golfer men admire and like to play withi Yes, golf is one sport in which women as well as men may excel. It's such good exer- else, too. The swing sims your waistline, the walking improves your general health.
 And playing 6 good game of golf is simply @ matter of learning pro- perly. If you fail to drive as far and as accurately as you should, the chances are you do not understand the swing. You apply leverage to your club instead of really swinging
 To get the feel of proper swing, take handkerchief or string, tie g weight to one end and practice swinging this-starting with a small arc, which you gradually increase. DO you feel how freely you control the movement? This is the way to control your club.
 Now, exert pressure on the string, anywhere between the two ends. You merely destroy the swing proof that it's not leverage but swinging that puts maximum power behind the club head.
 Other principles of golf you may learn as easily. In our new 32- page booklet, Ernest Jones. teacher of champions, tells how to hold a golf club; describes the proper stance; shows you how to swing at the ball with force and accuracy. Explains rules and fine points of the game.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of SWINGS THE THING IN GOLF to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service. 635 Sixth Ave, New York N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME. ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

 The happy combination of Bing and Gloria is said to be c guarantee of top-notch entertainment. Mu- sically, the picture is one of Crosby's best. Gloria, who crept into the hearts of Waterburians when siie made her screen debut in "The Underpup" b an unusual child so- prano and according to critics she is the screen sensation of ie40.

 And for your further enjoyment the management will present the picturization of q famous London stage success 'The Outsider" with George Sanders and Mary Mcguire in the co-starring leads. All of the original elements of surprise and the brilliant lines that helped to make this play such an outstanding success have been preserved in the film production.

 New Yorks top ranking models are considered the best-looking girls in the world. They win out over Hollywood stars because all they need is beauty (no acting ability re- quired) and because as Q rule their carriage is superior.
 But in spite of the models beauty 1t would not be a disheartening ex- perience for Mrs. Average Woman to find herself face to face with Miss Glamor Model.
 At first Mrs. Average Woman would think, Isn't she lucky to have a face and figure like that?"
 But, looking closer and thinking the matter through, she would see that luck was only partly respon- sible.
 For instance. she might notice that the models features actually were no better than her own. The model probably would confess as much. For no woman in the world is better acquainted with her face, its good points and it's bad, than a successful model.
 But where Mrs. Average Woman had done nothing to dramatize her own clear-cut profile. the model had arranged her hair to set her profile off. And she had experiment ted with eye makeup until her-far- from beautiful eyes gave the im- precision of being large and lum- inolis.
 SHE MAKES MOST
 OF HER FIGURE, TOO
 The models figure, too, is cer- tainly something for Mrs. Average Woman to envy. But its perfection isn't due entirely to luck, either Correct diet and exercise had Q part in 1t. And good posture and carriage set 1t off to the best advantage.
 Another thing. the models dress was bought with but one idea in mind--to flatter. In line, in color, and in fit. her dress does all that a dress can do for a woman. That means. of course. that she spent a great deal more time shopping for 1t than Mrs. Average Woman did for her becoming ng-enough dress. But the result is worth the time spent.
 Looking the glamor model over. as one. woman sizes up another. Mrs. Average Woman would be far from discouraged about her own looks. Her sensible reaction would be: "She made the most of herself. haven't. But I will take more pains after this"

 Louisville, Ky.--A kings ransom In sable, mink and silver fox--double Q kings ransom in emeralds, dia- nionds, pearls, platinum and gold on unbelievable array of orchids (the rare white, brown and yellow varietieB) - the eighty thousanl track fans who watched Mrs. Ethel v. Mars oallahadion thunder down the stretch in the Kentucky Derby were Q picture of the epitome of elegance.
 To the cool weather goes part credit for the impressive appearance of socially prominent spectators. It brought forth furs, the natural background for jewels and flowers and custonl.inade bonnets.
 However, there were upsetS in the fashion angle of the Derby itself. The Style-minded were as surprised at the vast dearth of wedge-Boled shoes as the followers of the ponies were ct Gailahadion leaving Bime. lech, the favorite, behind in tho stretch. =
 Other "also rans" were casually knotted tlirbans and flower prints, hitherto considered fashion fav- orites. Prints, when worn ct all, were in neat, small geometric designs.
 Mrs. William B. Harding topped . reddish brown and gray silk print dress with black fox boiero. Mrs. Walter J. Salmon, in navy cap of blue forget-me- with red rose posed in center of crown, carried Q silver fox scarf over her arm.
 The beautiful Irene Dunne, who came to Louisville for the world premiere of RKOs movie, My Fav- orfte Wife," as well as to sec the race, looked handsome in her grey- ish biege silk dress and long mink coat. Miss Dunne wore c dark red t,irban with short red veil, red suede gloves and enormous ear clips.
 At the track l overheard Mrs. ?. A. B. Widener saying to James R. F. Cromwell, "Is Doris really going to have c babyW Our Minister to Canada nodded. Whereupoh every one in the Widener box cheered. Mrs. Widener, incidentally, wore a black silk faille suit and frilly white lingerie blouse.
 Mrs. Catherine Connor, Democrat ic Committee Woman for Kentucky whose house guests were MT. and Mrs. James A. Farley, wore navy blue coat of ribbed wool over a navy silk dress and pink flower hat.

POLI'S

Tomorrow evening at 900 D. m. the stage of the Loew Poli theater will be the scene of Q gigantic all- star Broadway vaudville program headed by Bernard and Jensen, the worlds most famous doubles.
 On the bill are several other big acts including Cortellis famous canines: Al Ferguson, versatile chap whose comedy, dance and song routines are tops; Kay and Karroil, sensational jugglers from the world s fair; and the four Vernons, an aero batic foursome.
 Gus Meyers, Jr., and the Loew Poli orchestra will furnish the musical background for the show which will be presented in addition to double smash hit screen program. and best of all, there will be no advance in prices for this big combination event of stage and screen.
 Heading the screen bill is Ray mond Massey in "Abe Lincoln in Ill., inois." Here is a story that shatters the stuffy traditions and false auraS that have hung around the conven- tional picture of our "martyred President" of the Civil War era. This drama bravely reveals Lin coin as he really was. as man and dawn n-to-earth human instead of a demigod.
 The second big hit is "Little Orvie" with Johnny Sheffield who rose to fame as TarzanS son in 'Tarzan Finds a Son."
 Attractions which will end to- night at Loew's include Johnny Apollo" co-starring Tyrone Power and Dorothy Lamour with Edward Arnold, and "Star Dust" with Linda Darnell and John Payne.

STRAND

Performances this evening at the popular Warner Bros. Strand thea ter conclude the engagements of David Niven and Olivia de Havilland in "Raffles"; also John Payne and Gloria Dickson in "King of the Lum- berjacks."
 "Pinocchio," Walt Disney's success sor to the sensationally successful Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' will entertain theatergoers attend ing the Strand tomorrow afternoon, when the technicolor production opens its four day engagement.
 The film is highly recommended for young and old and whether you're six or sixty you'll thrill to its amazing beauty. charm and the force of it's lovely story. It is far more significant than a mere fairy tale and there is more than meets the eye in this story of the puppet who is given life without e con- science. Aside from this "Pinocchio'' is an imaginative story integrating the real with the fantastic, casting human truth.
 Among the highlights of the pie ture are six new song hits which you've heard over the air waves and at your favorite night spots. They include "When You Wish Upon a Star. "Little Wooden Head" Give A Little Whistle" "Hi-diddle-dee- dee. an Actors Life for Me-" Got No Strings" and Turn On the Old Music Box"
 Included on the same program as the co-feature is another of the popular "Dr. Christian" series "The Courageous Dr. Christian" featuring Jean Hersholt in the title role as he did in the first of this series. Ap- bearing in support of the star is a cast of notables which include Dor- othy Lovett. Tom Neal and Robert Baldwin.

 That is something for us women to remember. We have few i'm. portant government posts. We aren't as active politically as we should be.
 But without any change in our position, we can do something im- portant. We can assume . responsi- bility as citizens for whatever is to happen to our country. Today we can decide that we will not join the defeatist ranks. And if we have already joined, we can desert.

EYES BIGGER,N STOMACH

EYES BIGGER'N STOMACH
 Many times I have advised that every one who Is below par and wants to regain or build vite should eat four ounces of wheat germ daily, in order to restore to the diet part of the vitamin B complex the modern refined diet so universally lacks.
 got away with this for quite e while. Then c man who has been trying to hammer genuine whole- wheat flour and cereal, together with the facts relating to both, into the minds of the public" for many years challenged this teaching. He expressed the opinion that two ounces of sound, fully developed spring wheat, cracked mad cooked in 6 double boiler after adding a dessertspoonfIl f0 pure wheat germ, and left in the cooker until morning, to be warmed up and served for breakfast will give an- one all the germ he can take and like 1t. This practical, hard-headed man further averred that if one at- tempted to eat four ounces of wheat germ, without any of the remainder of the wheat, cooked or raw, the first ounce would convince him that he wasn't very hungry after all.
 My great weakness is accepting bets. Some day this column may appear in blank with Q neat dark nNr,gav and a t.rlaf saAta avnlalainU that or Doc Brady accepted some other doctors dare to rub lot of this and that poison on his (Bra- dy's) skin. Unfortunately the or Docs skin has become pretty thin of late years and we regret to an- nounce that some of the poison penetrated.
 Now I have always liked to chew some wheat whenever I could get 1t, and I am fond of the taste of wheat germ too. So when our good friend put 1t that way settled down to eating four ounces of choice wheat germ, in the course of breakfast every morning.
 found four ounces 6 whale of a lot of wheat germ. Tn fact 1 ack- nowledged defeat when I had dis posed of two ounces the first morn- ing. Although, as I say, I am fond of 1t, I was constrained to admit that our friend is right. Oh, I have eaten several teaspoonfuls each morning with pleasure, but sure enough when I had eaten two ounc- es that first morning I was no lon- ger hungry.
