Her Baby Howls
Would Fool
Any Mother
BY TALBOT LAKE

THIS Is about q whole lot Of peo-
pie you never hear about. you
don't know exist and you never see.
They are the people employed In
goofy Jobs by NBC to create the
programs.
For instance. Madeleine Pierce Is
q specialist In crying like q baby
and giving forth very genuine baby
gable that will fool any mother.
She can do anything from q sleepy
baby sigh to the wall of an angry
infant. She also does children and
mature woman. Recently. on one
program, Miss Pierce was an infant,
q twelve-year-old boy, Z nurse and
q girl Of six.
Bradley Barker specializes In do
ing animals. He has been initiating
them since 1925 and takes his work
very seriously. Barker. . six-footer,

Then there IL Herman r. Kraus-

ways the hope that she won't, to
make him O bit reckless. Or maybe
even the sure knowledge based upon
previous experience In similar STU
atoms to make him cocksure. as In
Freddy's case.
This time mother merely put the
dish back In front OF the child and
urged him to eat. She was backing
down. His arrogance had told her
that she was pursuing the wrong
course. So becoming persuasive. she
forgot all about her threat to spank
him unless he Obeyed. In her bag Of
tricks. this mother had other ways

else correct him forthwith. II the
child knows that what he has done
Is wrong, why let him get away with

might do 1t again? There's no surer
way Of begging for trouble.

The heart has four chambers,
each separated from the others.
These chambers are composed OF
powerful muscle flbers. There are
two suricIes. right and left. The
right auricle receives the venous
blood returning from the general
Sy8tem where II has distributed
oxygen and nourishment and
picked up waste matter and gases
The left auricle receives the blood
retufn1n4 from the lungs. where II
has been freed from carbonic acid
and HIS received oxygen from the
air. When the auricles are filled,
thar walls contract: the valves
Between the auricle and ventfcles
open and the valves at the other
opening close 70 prevent back flow.
10th auricles contract at the same
time. The blood from the right
auricle passes into the right ven
tricle and that from the left into
the left ventricle.
Then the ventricles contract. the
forward valves open and those be-
hind close. The blood from the
right ventricle u carried through
the pulmonary artery to the lungs
for aer1tion and then flows back
into the right auricle. The blood
from the left ventricle passes into
the aorta or very large artery
which connects with the general
arterial system. This chamber and
vessel are Of Importance In regis
tering blood pressure. The left ven-
tricle empties into the aorta as Il
II filled, the valve leading back into
the left ventricle closes and the
blood y forced out through the
system.

would meet at Berchtesgaden or
some other place.
Speculation here hinged on the
possibility that in a personal con-
ference or by other means, Hitler
and Mussolini might revive de-
mands for facilities at the French
naval bases of Toulon, on the
French Mediterranean coast, and
Bizerte, on the African coast. and
might even demand the French
fleet.
This speculation was based on the
belief that Germany and italy
might be planning a big move in
the western Mediterranean design
ed to aid Italy against Greece in
Albania and Britain in Africa. SO
that Italy could hold its defense
lines until spring when Germany
was expected to start a supreme Of
fensive against Britain in western
Europe.

the Kur-VeleS district, started from
the village of Vermika, IL miles

mile and half northwest into
the Griba mountains, TO within
10 miles of Valona. There was on

Truce Reported

VICHY, Jan. Is. (UP)-Reports
circulated tonight that Count Fer

sary in Paris, will return here short

Franco German impasse which
started with dismissal of Vice Pre-
mier Pierre Laval may follow.
There was no official statement
on this possibility but hope was
indicated that de Brinon may bring
with him an outline of German
views which will allow Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain to proceed
with his long deferred cabinet re-
organization.
These reports were accompanied
by strong expression of French
desire for European peace made

Bartlett Dam
Full TO Capacity

PHOENIX, Jan. Is. CUP)-For
the first time since its completion
IN 1899, Bartlett dam on the Verde
river was expected to be filled TO
Its 182,608 acre foot capacity within
the next "a hours.
The Salt River Water Users as
sociatlon reported today that stor-
age Ill the dam had reached l76 1882
ana that the waters were less than
three feet from the top OF the struc-
ture.
The association ironically was
presented with a problem the exact
reverse OF the one existing a few
months ago when there was only a
negligible supply of water behind
the dam. With an overflow assured,
it was planned to offer farmers
free irrigation water to lower the
level sufficiently to handle water
expected to flow down in the spring
