Her current role is that of a

Irene Hervey is the romantic

heroine through her work in ex-
posing covey of axis spies.
Fay Helm is happy as free
lance character actress, and she
keeps as busy in the movies as
her half dozen war work
activities permit. Only person
who's disturbed by her refusal
to play glamor roles is Lieuten-
ant Hardy; he'd like her to
prove, just once, that she isn't a
cinematic bag.

a third heart. When the suit
failed TO break, declarcr won
only eight tricks.
Now" the player said to

Yes" / answered. II see that
you could have made it. After
taking the thirG round of
hearts, South forced out your
third top diamond. You should
now have cashed the ace of
clubs, then led the six of clubs
and finesscd the ten if South
played low. Then you lead a
fourth heart from dummy, dis
carding your king of clubs.
South takes his good diamonds,
but then has to lead clubs, and
you get in dummy to cash the

We'll. frankly" l said, Il
didn't have TO figure it out. I
only had to recognize the hand.

so ably that David Selznick
turned her down for too closely
resembling Miss Hayes. It was
quite a while afterwart that she
finally made start in movies,
with Song of the City" at Met
70. In 1888 she went to Warmers
for Racket Busters" and found
herself made up as a middle
aged woman with skinned-back
hair and odd-looking clothes.
Instead of being shocked at
what she saw in mirror, Miss
Helm was delighted. BY that
time she was aware of having
what she describes as "a flexible
face" and she also had observed
that character people 60 on and
on in Hollywood while glamor
gals appear and vanish by the
hundreds
Since then Miss Helm has
played 7O-year-old women, psy-
chopathic criminals, and a flock
of less distinctive characters.
Her best part, she feels, was the
wild-eyed, wild-haired mental
case in "A Child Is Born" Her
worst luck was a succession OF
hysterical young-mother parts.
Il got awfully sick of them," she
said. Il was always the sobby
one whose child was run over

was killed. 1t got SO bad that

the Latest Books

Our most famous Writer-ex-
plorer, William Beebe, comes
out of the briny deep this time
with Book of Bays" (Harcourt,
Brace: $500, the well-told
story Of his travels among the
fish, fowl and other wildlife
along the Central American
bays.
With no harm intended, Beebe
has one of the most wandering
minds of our time-he must
have, or else he could not think
of the places to 60 and things
to write about which have made
his travel and popular science
books classics.
This time he tells of the 38th
expedition Of the Department of
Tropical Research of the New
York Geological Society," and
don't let that cause you to seek
shelter elsewhere. Beebe al
ways writes Interestingly and he
does it again. Instead Of say
ing, II mistook q duck for a
boa CONSTRUCTOR" he writes:

could see the bill, eye and head
drawn close to the back. Two
feet farther up was startled to
see the brilliant and unmistak-
able tail loop of boa construct
or, and now I followed it down
to the small duck .. there was
no duck, there had been no duck;
only three loops of beautifully
colored serpent"
Beebe gets technical q few
times in this book, but not too
technical for anyone interested
in . lively account of life and
times among the inhabitants of
the sea, including those that live
500 fathoms deep, to the flying
fish which spend at least part of
their time above water, and they
are not in this instance on the
road to Mandalay.
In another passage he de-
scribes those wonderful birds
who hold in their beaks enough
for q week: ION a tiny island, a
separate group of six smaller
trees was the bedroom of the
Corinto pelicans. None was act
ually touching, but they were SO
close together that . little per-
spective showed the trees as a
solid mass of brown, bumped
up figures :. To the north we
caught sight of eight or nine
hundred jet-black silhouettcs
passing slowly across the blaz-
ing background, and knew that
nearly a thousand unmistakable
fork-tailed flycatchers were
headed for their sleeping quar-
ters."

had done ingenue parts. In
Hollywood, three things hap

She took a screen test at Metro,

Wallace Beery on radio pro-

NO SACRIFICE TOO eREAT-sUT!

This is no time for nieging over
matters Of definition. President Roose-
Welt says he does not find the American
people eompIocent or opothetic toward

his odjectives Mr.. Roosevelt is correct.
Let's even occept the definitions.
So what? So the pubIic's attitude

On the whole, our people believe
thot no sacrifice can be too greet to

interfere With personal comfort and
pleasure.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THE WOMEN

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THE WOMEN
Some Of our national leaders have
become concerned about the port
American women are taking in the
war. Mrs. Gilmore M. Herrick, regional
director of the NLRB in New York, has
urged that the government proceed at
once to toke inventory Of our re-
sources in women.
A recent Washington report show
ed thot Of five million workers in war
plants in this country only 10 per cent
are women. This is controsted to the
waning days Of the first World War
when IS per cent Of the nine million
workers we're women. Inosmuch as it
is expected thot IS million workers
will be employed in war production
jobs by the first of the year, Mrs. Her
rick suggests labor registry be con-
Quoted without delay
The problem Of labor shortoges in
defense industries already is on US, with
SO many men morchin9 off to war.
We commend Mrs. Herrck's ideo
of seeing what we've got in the way Of
women workers, but we hope she
doesn't worry too much about the
possible foYure Of our feminine folk to
bear their share We may be COM
pIocent. but we feel she is going to be
bow|ed over by the response Of our
women-folk. once they know exactly
what the needs ore. That. we feel, is
all thot really is necessary - tell the
women about it, and watch them soil
into things.
Much has been said recently of
how the women of Russia are driving
street cors, buses, troctors and loco
motives, plotting planes, toilin9 at
blast furnaces, helping to produce
weapons and ammunition They have
won praise for their heroism on the
bottefieIds and tending the wounded
in hospitals.
We have heard, too of the fine
work British women ore performing in
munitions factories
Not much has been told of the
port our women ore tokine Here and
there we read Of q mother whose son
has met deoth in the flaming Philip
pines, or q widow who eIories in the
bravery Of her mote who hos gone to
q heroic death. For us, up to now, it
hos seemed to be mostly mans war;
Though there is now in Congress
proposal to set up O womens army oux-
iIory corps, perhaps most Of US have
assumed women would just 90 on be-
ing wives and mothers, serving in the

But we have utter foith in the won1-

when they see it. Our mothers and our
erondmotherS might not have worked
in munitions factories, but they had
what it took when the emergency be-
come plain to them. We have only to
cost q brief glance backward to the
deeds Of our pioneer women in helping

Forty per cent of the money

gain in mission charity. The mis-
