Of Minnesota
Should Divide Work

Many big industrial organizat-
ions are tagging behind on defense
orders. Some of the delay is doubt
less due to the inability of man.
ufacturers to procure needed mat
erial but there Is a general feeling
that much Of the delay Is due to
the failure of the big contracting
companies to farm out" a part of
the work to smaller concerns.
There are scattered over the
length and breadth of the land
many small factories and foundries
that would be glad to get such
work as they are able to turn out
but are too small to go in and bid
on the big jobs. If the work were
parceled out among all who were
able to do a part 1t would material
ly speed up production and at the
same time help solve local I'M
employment problems.
Why should the great bulk of
the preparedness work go to the
big centers? The cost Of the pro-
gram must be borne by the whole
country therefore the whole country
should benefit from that program,
I am happy to inform my readers
that Mr.. Herb Miller, former pres
ident Of the Minneapolis Civic and
Commerce Association, Is now in
Washington working on this very
thing. We may soon expect some
practical results from his efforts.

A CORRECTION

In mentioning the selection of

In last weeks Herald, we inadvert-
emily omitted from the list Of d.

This was unintentional, of course,

te was a director the error was
slightly obnoxious to us. So we
want friend, Bill, to know that this

The bar mirror is shorter-lived in the westerns than anywhere else.
 In Arise, My Love-" the bar scene was given novelty by Ray Milland's order of champagne with creme de menthe for Claudette Colbert. The scripts praise for the drink led a number of movie patrons to try it. and complain. Nobody had tried the mixture before it was "glorified" in the film. Moral: You can't trust movie drinks.

Hollywood Sights And Sounds
By Robbic coons

HOLLYWOOD. Cal, April a. There's nothing like crossing the bar" to bring out a script writer's ingenuity or expose his lack of it.
 Tn movies of city life the bar ap- parently has to be crossed in every script. The easiest way is to have the character step up and say Scotch and soda If the American whiskey people have done any good for themselves, he'll say bourbon and soda.' (The latter represents fairly neutral groundD But the character gets his drink and that's all there is to it.
 A common approach is to have the character step up and say Double Scotch and sodo'- usually to indicate that he is flabbergasted has been disilusioned about his best girl (Henry Fonda in ''The Lady Even) or simply can't take it any longer without inside aid.
 Brian Aherne in "The Man Who Lost Himself plays on-drinker who has learned he has been dou- ble-crossed by a pal. He rushes forthwith to the bar. The usual Double Scotch" is given this vari- ation: The hero lays his money down, asks how many drinks it will buy. is told six. Put 'em all in one glass he orders. He singles out huge brandy inhaler (comedy prop, and therefrom proceeds to get spifflicated.

This is a variant (to the student of bar-crossing technique) of an- other reliable formula, by which the hero orders six to a dozen drinks and has them lined on the bar in front of him. During this procedure the barkeep usually looks nonpluss- ed and shakes his head which is odd. because if he's seen many movies he ought to be used to it.
