equally fatal in the end.
He dressed shaved and went down to the
garden with Manchu He knew that it might
be unwise to let himself be seen by anyone
from the town of Annesley, but the dawn
comes 10 with such a purified and solitary
loneliness that We seem more alone in it than
even in the middle of night So Cabot walked
down the sun-washed terraces of lawn and
blooming shrubbery with a sense of perfect
security
He divorced to look at Croix dor. the
horse Bob had bought but feared to ride. The
big gelding nfted his head from grazing and
put back his ears with an instant dislike The
sunshine sleeked him over with a peculiar
sheen Cabot reluctantly went on past him
down the slope until he came to the beach.
Pure white sand had been heaped on the
broad rounding lip of the cove and pier
stepped out into the water with its long
legged shadow lying deep beside it. The voice
of the Annesley Bell was still There was
hardly stir on the face Of the inlet except
for thin shadowy waves that moved at long
intervals sent inward not by the wind but the
pulsation of the outer sea.
He opened the door of the boat-houseN be-
side the pier There was dinghy. a little
cutter. powerboat and good twenty-four
foot sloop with its masts unstepped, the hull
drawn far back on the slides It wore the
name Of Ruth ~ and brought the thought
OF Bob Annesley strongly home again.

LEW European actresses have
Il attained the fame OF Eliza
beth Bergner. but strangely
enough she is the only important
screen personality besides Greta
Carlo who never had granted
an official interview until this

Bergner Immediately. 1t was
about five years ago that she
electrified American audiences
by her portrayal in Escape Me
Never" an English-made pic
ture.
Since then. the actress has
been doing mostly stage work in
London. but the fans she made
in this country soon will have
an opportunity 10 see her in her
first American film.
Miss Bergner Just has COM

DAMON RUNYON. who the
~ late Arthur Brisbane once
described as the greatest all
around reporter on the Hearst
newspapers, has come 10 Holly
wood TO produce motion pic
lures.
That doesn't mean that
Damon is leaving rs Job AS
newspapermsn. No. indeed! He
could no more stop pounding the
typewriter. covering great
sporting event. or joining the
boys IN reporting a murder
story. than he could stop breath
ing. for Damon is first, last and
always a reporter. No matter
how successful he becomes in
other fields he will remain true
TO his first love.
But he is -unmitisated
movie fan and he sees prae-
tically every picture and thrills
when the villain gets his due
punishment, gets a kick out of
wild adventure story and he
loves a good melodrama.

In other words, when he pays

gets the same reaction as the
average enthusiastic movie fan.
That's what is so nice about
Damon coming TO Hollywood. He

tongue in his cheek, longing 10

does he poke fun at our screen

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In 1888. before the outbreak OF the
present war, Germany went once
more into the worlds markets to OBJ
tain a certain metal. The metal was
tungsten. of which Germany had no
supply of her own.
Hitler wanted tungsten to harden
steel. This metal makes steel wear
longer, and gives it far more
strength. 1t is OF great value for
armor plate, and in making the
barrels Of big guns.
Another use of tungsten is for
steel used in tools and machines
which will produce weapons OF war,
or other products. Such steel will
wear from three to five times as
long as ordinary steel.
So Hitler obtained Il, 400 tons OF
tungsten in 1898. 1t was about one
fourth of the world production. It
was far more than Germanys share.
Today We may look back and think
OF the difference if the United
States, Great Britain and France
had outbid Hitler for those l5.4O0
tons. In that case Germany's war
factories might not be working so
well today.
Most tungsten comes from Asia
nearly three-ffths of the amount
produced China leads all nations
In output with more than 35 per
cent. Burma is second. Later come
Portugal. the United States, Bolivia,
Chosen and the Malay States. Sew
