OLD AUNT HET
ORPHAN ANNIE
LEAD THE LIST
Both Male And Female Readers
Seem To Put Their Approx
al On These Features

It is interesting to know just how
the different newspaper features
strike the reading public. A con-
tributor to the National Publisher
has made canvass and finds that the
good old-fashioned philosophy OF
"Aunt Het" wins more friends among
the readers Of tho Anderson, South
Carolina, Daily Mail than Walter
Winchells column. In fact, Aunt
Het's homely wisdom leads all the
features In the Daily Mail, as shown
by the results of the reader interest
study completed recently under the
direction of Charles l.. Allen, Assis-
tant Dean and Director Of Research
at the Merrill School Of Journalism,
Northwestern University. The study
was non-commercial and was made
for the purpose of gathering reader
ship data on representative Home
Town daily newspaper in the south.
A local column called "Did you
Know or Have You Heard" took Sec
ond place with the women, while Win
chell rated second among the men.
The most popular columns and fea-
lures among the women, in addition
to those mentioned above, were
"Growing Palms." "Winchell," "Would
You Believe It," Questions and An
swers by Haskin," and Guard Your
Health"
Women readers of the Anderson
papers do not think so well of some Of
the nations famous columnists. They
ranked "The State of the Nation"
by Olin Miller fifth from the last and
Bruce Cations Washington Column
third from last. A surprising develop
ment was the rating given the serial
story by women readers, who listed
it fourth from last among the fea-
lures they prefer.
The men like Anderson's local col
umn "Did you Know :" almost as
well as the women, for they rated it
third. Other columns which ranked
high with the men were Growing
Palms." "Would You Believe It," and
Haskin's Questions and Answers"
The relative position given to features
and columns was interesting. Eyes
teryears," which drew 9th rank from
the men, was relegated to 18th by
the women, who are customarily con-
sidered to be quite interested in these
items from the files.
The men cared little for Modern
Advice to Girls" "Grab Bag" the
serial story, and "Fun with Flowers"
These four were at the bottom of the
rating scale for men readers.
Little Orphan Annie, impish de-
light of millions of children, is the
favorite comic strip character among
both men and women readers of the
Anderson Daily Mail. 60 per cent of
the women and 65 per cent of the
men like her best. There was no such
agreement on the other comics, how
ever, for the women put Winnie Win
kle in second place while the men pre-
fererd the Gumps. The two strips
which had the least regular reader
ship were Mickey Mouse and LII Alb
ner. It should be explained that the
latter strip had been added shortly
before this study was made, and it is
doubtful if the readers had been CIV
en- sufficient time to get acquainted
with it.

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

To skin a fish, remove the fins,
cut off strip of skin along the back
bone and cut the skin around the gills.
Pull the skin off with one hand. If
the flesh is soft, work slowly and close

avoid tearing the flesh.
