Why didn't the superintendent of the aircraft
plant fire Joe - whose brother was a saboteur?

Sure. Joe. Go on back to your work and

But when Joe took his place at the lathe
again he was trembling all over. 1t had
occurred to him, on the way from the superin-
tendent's Office to the machine shop, that if
anything wrong happened at the plant it
would look bad for him.
Joe also remembered what his brother had
whispered to him many years ago in the
prison, after the priest had taken their mother
out of the room, after he had sworn again
that he was innocent. His brother had whis-
pered to Joe: Il lied, Joe lied to the priest

Joe had not understood his brothers words
very well, because he was so young. All he
knew was that his brother had died meanly

wanted to suffer in hell rather than hurt his
mother.

work did not suffer He tried to make it even
better, day by day, so that they would never
find anybody with name like Smith or
Brown who could do it half so we'll
That interview was so vivid in Joes mind
that he thought about it ten to twenty times
a day. He recalled the infections of the
superintendent voice, and the look on his
face. He knew that when he walked into the
Office the superintendent had intended to fire
him, but something had changed Markeys
mind as he sat there. Joe even remembered
the moment of the change when curious
shadow went across Markey's eyes. But Joe
could not figure out why the superintendent
had changed his mind.
Gradually Joe forgot the interview, and
grew happy in his work again. He was more

Glad to" Joe said.
Fine. Say about two o'clock. I'll tell the
gateman you're expected to 60 inside if I'm
little late"
Joe swelled with pride. 1t was difficult
not to tell Bertha about it when he got home
for dinner Bertha would have been proud,
too. But Nevins employees had been warned
about talking too much beyond the gates.
He was prompt on the following Sunday,
driving up to the plant in his dilapidated car
at two. "Mr. Markey been around YETI" he
asked the gateman.
The gateman squinted at his picture badge.
"Nope. But he told me the other day you

Jacobean Furniture Massive
Yet Has Sturdy Simplicity

be mentioned frequently during
these articles on furniture de-

reflection Of the historical era
during which they were popular.
SO II is with Jacobean furni-
ture.
Long live the king: the queen
is dead!' The death of Elizabeth
IN England saw the advent to
the British throne of a family
called Stuart.
The first member OF this
family TO wear the crown was
James ], and the Latin name for
James Is Jacobus. Thus, the
term Jacobean was applied to
the design of this era.
Social Influence
The Forgotten Man. a title
familiar 10 most of US in today's
social problems, was factor
even then. The wealth and pomp
and luxury of the Elizabethan
era meant little TO the working
people. James, as king, did not
trouble 10 improve this situation,
and his son Charles l was GER
tainly no better.
But the little man, the aver
age citizen, was beginning TO
make himself felt. AS a matter
of historical fact, he eventually
made himself felt so acutely
that the head of Charles was
Topped off and the puritanical
Cromwell ruled in his place.
There was major social up
heaval, revolution against the
excuses of the ruling class, and
one direct outgrowth OF this
feeling was the settling of our
own America by some OF these
average citizens.
All this. however. is told in
the furniture design of the
Jacobean period.
Similarifies
In many ways it is similar
TO Elizabethan furniture. The
wood, fine English oak, is the
same. The size, massive by our
standards today. is not much
different from the preceding
style.
The motifs are still carved
deeply into the wood, and tables
are definitely banquet size and
chairs far more throne-like
than lounging or occasional.
But there is a difference and
the reason for ii is explained in
the foregoing bit of history. The
over-elaboration of the Eliza
bethan style became as unpopu-
lar in furniture fashions as was
the show of wealth in social
circles,
Jacobean design therefore has
an almost puritanical severity
compared to the earlier period.
More LivebIe
There was, too, a conscious
ness for the first time of Iva
bility in the scale of the
furniture. Still massive, there
was nevertheless a general
tightening. a crude attempt at
getting some semblance of grace
into the individual pieces.
For use in the homes of today,
neither Elizabethan nor Jaco-
bean is particularly adaptable.
But of the two, Jacobean is
preferable because of its sturdy
simplicity.
Especiallyin recreation rooms
where the decorating theme is a
rough English informality,
where linens and chintZes and
tweedy textured fabrics are
used, Jacobean furniture still
has a place in the sun Of fashion.
Illustrated are few typical
motifs of the period, and a COM
parison with the Elizabethan
sketches of yesterdays column
will make clear the difference
in the two styles.

Typical of the Jacobean
period are these details: l.

Health First
Requirement
For Beauty
BY DONNA GRACE

IT MIGHT be interesting to
some Of us to know that modern
physicians and dermatologists
say women of today are much
better looking and healthier
than their sisters of another era.
Todays woman should have
profited some, we agree. as she
is intelligent and science has
given her products and methods
with which to improve herself.
Generally Healthy
Modern beauties are generally
healthy. All beauty authorities
stress good health as the first
and everlasting beauty requisite.
Take, for instance, the famous
beauties Of Hollywood: without
unusual strength and endurance
they wouldn't last through even
one picture.
The work is hard and nerve
wracking. Most of them begin
at 6 in the morning and work as
long as possible. The following
day must be the same until the
work Is finished.
They know their obligations
and many Of them continue this
. routine month after month with
out any injury to either their
beauty or health. Certainly you
don't see even the older men,
bers Of the profession faded,
wrinkled or overweight.
Success Formulas
When you think of this mod
ern way of beauty you may
marvel at the success of it all
but we believe the following
may be given as some of the
success formulas:
First, they are mentally alert
and active.
They never think of neglecting
anything that preserves or i'm
proves-their good looks.
They exercise at least twice a
day no matter how they feel.
They never lose interest in
others and their own work.
They do not experiment with
untried beauty methods.
Two baths a day are just a
part of their schedule.

youth by working with a pre-
dominantly youthful cast in
Paramount's "Out of the Frying

1t was he who urged that

as a vehicle for building its
younger players to stardom- His
cast includes William Holden,
Susan Hayward. Eddie Bracken,
Martha O'Driscoll, Jim Brown
and Florence MacMichael, the
Oldest Of whom is "a and the
youngest 10.
Brown Is a 21-year-old Texas

youthful aggregation are Robert
