now back in the Army on foreign
duty, the four attractive young
bachelors shared an apartment
at the Avondale and were just
about the most popular young
men in town. They used to have
small and very informal supper
parties when "Bfl" Doeller would
play the piano and boy" Lee
would sing-and there wasn't a
debutante in town who wouldn't
rather have been invited to one
of those little suppers than to
any other party-no matter how
large or lavish.
And now those care-free days
are very much a thing of the
past and the colonel and his
lovely lady are both working
hard to help win this war. In
addition to being vice chairman
OF the Speakers Bureau, Mrs.
johnson is a staff assistant of
the District Red Gross and that
keeps her pretty busy. The
Speakers Bureau, of course,
works hardest when there's a Red

HOLLYWOOD, May 25 - In
her next picture, the new
Bette Davis positively will not
go crazy, lose her eyesight, chop
off her lovers head, take beat
ing, go to prison, betray her
husband, be tried for murder,
wreck a kingdom, or even sit on
a cactus.
At the moment, Miss Davis is
revealing in a role for which al
most any dramatic actress would
give new set, of tires. In
Now, Voyager," she has three
lovers, 30 costumes and a sort
of three-way role. She plays a
20-year-old miss, a 28-year-o d
bachelor girl, and a smartly
dressed and happily adjusted
young woman of the world.
Her character is a complex
and changing thing influenced
by neuroSiS, Illustrations, moth
er-hatred, love on mountain
tops and other overtones of de-
spair and JOY that are apple pie
for her. Also, for the first
time in many pictures, she gets
al the sympathy.
A glance at the record shows
that conditions have not always
been so pleasant. She began

Arliss in The Man Who Played

she was a secretary again, but
the cycle had begun. She was

woman. When retribution

Let no amount Of wishtul thinking
deceive you Next only to shipping, the
rubber shortage is the most tragic bot
tleneck facing this nation today.
In one respect, the rubber situd-
ton is even grimmer than the mari
time. We are on the way to solving our
shortage of ships If we have not quite
turned the corner, we are about to, but
the alarming deficiency in rubber re-
mains q major problem.
Our vounted industrial capacity
depends, more than the ioynoon real
ICES even yet, upon use Of the outono-
bile, which in turn hinges upon rubber
for tires.
Take away our tires, imn0obiIize
our automobiles and we bring creeping
paralysis upon the marvellous plant
which we have buiIded and converted
70 supply the onti-HitIer world with
armament and munitions.
Rubber is utterly essential to the
task remaining before US Of Of Destroy
ing the ability Of totoIitorionism to at
tack democracy.
Yet 81 per cent Of the rubber we
use came from MoIoyo and the Dutch
Eost Indies, seized by Japan. We raise,
at home, hardly enough Of the gum to
make months supply of hot water
bottles.
The American people stubbornIy
resist these brutal facts, and grab at
every item Of false hope they can find.
Such items ore unfortunately COM
mon. There ore literally scores Of DO
tentiol sources Of rubber right at home.
Doy after day enthusiasts report that
they can extrcct rubber from some
hitherto unpubIicized source.
Sure TREY con Anything thot can
be fermented to make alcohol is q DO
tentiol source Of rubber.
But thot is incompetent inmate
rlo' and irrelevant, TO use our fovorite
Legal objection. Petroleum, Of which
we have relatively unlimited supplies,
will produce synthetic rubber better,
quicker more cheopy than the oIco-
ol-producing plants. There is no prob
lem there.
The difficulty is one Of plant. Pres
