TIME OF OPPORTUNITY

Most Of us think Of these as pretty
soobby times Our lives ore interrupted,
our spirits ore froyed, and wherever we
look about us there is no peace.
Yet Dr.. Alexis CorreI, who looks at
mankind from q somewhat longer view
point than most can achieve, believes
There has perhaps never been q mo-
ment SO opportune for human prog
ress."
Responsibility, sacrifice, and hero
ism ore as essential as health, strength,
o9lity, ond endurance, DR.. CorreI be-
lieves, and moral training, too long
neglected, should be added to physioI-
ooicoI training. He believes it possible
in America today to develop "men Of
greoter physical and spiritual value

the history Of the world"

THE PLASTIC AGE

Changes in the everyday things Of
life come SO slowly that we feel that
they do not change. The automobile,
the telephone, radio, come upon us by
natural degrees, and take over great
positions in our lives SO nsidiousIy that
we do not realize it at oil.
So With those new materials, plos-
tics, which little by little ore moving in
on our daily life. A model stood the
other day in Boston's Institute Of Mod

ing suit Of royon; ny|on stockings and
q vinyIite handbag with Iueite knobs;
imitation oIIieotor shoes with ienin
heels; cellulose ooetote porosol with
plastic handle; beads Of Iueite.
In short, here is nonnequin, dres-
sed throughout in materials which we're
utterly unknown 20 years ago, utilizing
raw materials not used for such pur-
poses before. The effect not only on our

right through the finals, are Mrs.
Adelaide Neuwirth and Mrs.
Lottie Zetosch of New York,

gar of Atlanta, Ga. The runners
up were Mrs. William E. McKen-

Today's hand was won by Mrs.
Zetosch and demonstrates her
strong defensive work.
Declarer ducked the first two
rounds of spades and a third
lead forced the ace. Mrs. Zetosch
(East) realized that declarer
could probably cash nine tricks
as soon as she established her
club suit. The king of clubs
could not be of any value TO the
defense-in fact, II might be a
detriment. So Mrs. Zetosch bril-
liantly discarded the king of
clubs on the third lead of spades.
Now declsrer could not set up
the clubs without letting West In
to run the spades. and her con.
tract was defeated.

. HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD

No young female admirers
ever have been planted as stow
aways in Welles' staterooms on
trains or ships. He never has
been "lost" in Mexico, nor on
a disabled yacht. He doesn't
even own a yacht. He encoun-
ters no thrilling adventures
while plotting his own plane. He
doesn't own a plane. He doesn't
want to own plane. He is not
buying an island where he can
get away from it all, nor does
he own a San Fernando valley
ranch which will provide Sc
curity in his old age.
Welles does not sit up nights
planning a new type of internal
combustion engine, nor has he
ever made application for a pat
ent on a better mousetrap. He
seems to be subject to ordinary
ills, and when he has a cold
there Is no attempt to explain
that his picture is being delayed
by a recurrence of battling
tropical disease contracted while
leading an expedition in search
Of Paul Renter. Nobody named
him as the Oomph Boy Of 1910.

. HiehIiehts From
The Latest Books .

Maybe you'd like to sit down
some evening to a bit of Am
erican history without embroid-
cry. If you would there are two
new books which should be just
your meat.
The first Is yellow Wolf: His
Own Story" by L. v. McWhor-
ter (Caxton Printers, Caldwell.
Idaho: $500, the second is like
wise an unvarnished piece of
regional Americana, Trails of
Early Idaho" by Abraham c.
Anderson (Caxton Printers: $3).
Both are direct, genuine, unfail-
ingly interesting.
Both, moreover, happened to
be written in much the same
manner. Yellow Wolf, the last
great Nez Perez warrior, near
ing 80, unfolded in all its richly
dramatic detail the story of his
people to MIR. McWhorter, q
friend of a quarter century's
standing. Yellow Wolf died in
1885. Already in the eighties.
George w. Goodhart, who had
come west in the days of the
Oregon Trail, also dictated his
rough-hewn memoirs to q friend
of long standing, Abraham An
derson. And Goodhart like yell
low Wolf, died before they were
published.
So western Americana gains
two important records. It is hard
to evaluate one above the other.
The Nez Perez Indian war of
1877 was one of the country's
last clashes with the red man.
It produced an incredible chap
ter, a sort of Dunkerque of
that day, the retreat Of Chief
Joseph and his people across
the Bitterroots from Idaho to
Montana. It Is shot through
with all the pathos of the Van
ishing American.
George w. Goodhart was a
two-fisted, weather-beaten pio-
neer whacking his way through
the Idaho wilderness about the
period Of the Civil War. His life
at old Fort Hall on the Oregon
Trail, as trader and trapper, and
later as Indian scout, recalls q
completely primitive period of
American history such as the
nation will never know again.
His first wife was drowned in q
mountain stream, his second shot
down in an Indian ambush.
Life-and death-was like that
in the days of the Goodharts. It
would do most Americans well
to read about It once more at a
time when the nation needs q
little more toughness in its sin
ews, sacrifice in its hearts.

CREDITED WITH
ODD ALLERGY

Publicists have not tried to
say Orson Welles collects snuff
boxes, jade dragons or cham
payne corks. Neither have they
arranged for a pretty admirer
to handcuff herself to him at a
premiere. He never has been
photographed with a Great
Dane, astride a skyrocket, or
whipping up some crepe SUI
zettes.
Almost every other notable
in town, If you can believe
the stories, has unearthed a fine
gold nugget while planting
petunias, or has been willed a
fabulously rich mine by a pro-
spector once befriended. Welles
doesn't seem to have any such
luck. He wasn't a great athlete
at college; in fact, he never went
to college. His house hasn't
been burglarized, nor did he
ever thwart a holdup with a neat
bit Of jiu jitsu.
Only once did it appear that
Welles might adapt himself to
Movietown. That was when it
was reported he had develop
ed an amazing allergy. After
eight months here without his
beginning a picture, it was ex-
planned that the emulsion on
movie film made him violently
ill.

EXPANSION FOR ITALY


Certain industries have been reIuc-
tont to expond
They have felt, and with reason,
that the collapse Of the defense emery
ency might we'll cotch them with plant
facilities which we're not then necessary.
Loss might be caused, which industrial
proprietors naturally would like to avoid
ifpossible.
The Presidents talk Of Dec. %
makes it plain that he considers the
emergency so urgent that this is no
longer q primary consideration. The
possible consequences Of failure OF our
defense efforts now ore much more to
be feared" the President said, than the
chance that some excess plant capacity
may be built.
This situation deserves erovest con-
siderotion by all industries whose pro-
ductve capacity proves unable to sup
ply what is needed for defense as we'll
as at the same time providing for the
normal needs of civilian life.
We have tried, at the outset Of the
defense effort. to set on top Of the nor
NAL production of our industries the ex-
tro Ioodof war production. As the effort
swings into full stride it becomes clear
that in many cases industry will not
bear both.
Then two things become necessary.
Until additional facilities are built
which will provide both at once, civilian
consumption must be cut down while
the military bill is filled. In other words,
If auto plants can't build both pleasure
cars and tanks, the tanks must be built,
and you wait for your new cor. Then, it
q new tank plant or new auto plant
can be built, noybe you can have both.
Our whole life today has become
simply q balancing Of risks, choice be-
tween evils. To build excess capacity
and find it unused when the emergency
has passed is bad But to attempt to
build defense and find it inadequate be-
cause Of reluctance to build sufficient
capacity is worse. j.
There is much also in what the Pres
ident soid about greater needs otter the
emergency has passed. The Muscle
Shoals nitrate plant, for instance. built
for war uses in l9l7-l8, passed out Of
use otter the war emergency, yet it be-
came valuable again as the keystone Of
the IVA regional development, which
in turn has become great national as
set in preparedness.
We do not know precisely what pro-
ductive facilities we may need otter this
emergency has passed. We only know
that it certainly is better, from the no.
tionoI point Of view, to have too much
rather than too little, hard though thot
may occasionally be on individual pro-
prietors and stockholders. The time has
come when only the national interest
can be paramount.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 6-There
have been lots of estimates of
the genius and odd character of
Orson Wells, but there is no
doubt regarding his standing as
a typical Hollywoodsman. He
doesn't rate at all.
Whatever the fate of his
forthcoming "Citizen Kane" and
however bright his cinematic
future after that, Welles seems
doomed to remain an alien in
Never-Never Land. He just
doesn't do the things or encoun-
ter the experiences always be-
ing attributed to Movietown
celebrities.
For example, no claim ever
has been made that a studio
gateman has failed to recognize
Wells in makeup, barring him
from the lot. Nor has any story
been written about how, while
on location, Wells was bitten,
or at least threatened, by a
Black Widow spider. Apparent
ly. too, he never has risked his
life to save any member of his
company from a rattlesnaKe.
NEVER NAMED
INDIAN CHIEF
During a year and a half in
Hollywood, the director
actor-producer has not insured
himself against falling in love;
nor has he taken out policies
on his eyebrows, larynx or
whatever. The Schizo-phrenic
Indians haven't made him an
honorary chief. He has not been
named mayor of some California
ghost town, nor has the Mer-
chant Tailors' Guild of Cracked
Elbow, Ia, ever selected him
as Hollywood's best dressed
man. Neither has the sophomore
class of Miss Flintpuss' School
for Young Ladies named Wells
as The Man With Whom I Would
Like to Be Cast Away on a De-
sert Island.
Any follower Of pressagent
yarns will agree these few cir
cumstances make the young man
unique. But the list of nom
conformities goes on and on:
