file John, and she appears to be
doing . neat job as a Women's

Diana is a medium sized brunei,
not too good looking. but with a
strange distinctiveness about her.
She looks little like her father,

Air Film Planned

War in the air, as fought by the
gallant young fliers Of the United
States Army's air service, will be
depicted on the screen for the first
time in Air Force" forthcoming
production to be filmed on an epic
scale by Warner Bros.
The action of the story. which will
show American youth in training
and in actual aerial combat, will
swing from Air Force headquarters
to the training fields throughout the
country and then to the far-flung
battle zones where the intrepid
young aviators are bringing new
glory to the traditions of American
arms.
Hal B. Wallis has been assigned
to produce the picture and Howard
Hawks to direct it, thus reuniting
the executive team responsible for
The Dawn Patrol" Ceiling Zero"

ufactures. He wisely leaves a tiny
hole through which fresh air can
enter.
After sleeping all winter in his
cozy house, which is covered by soft
humus or leaves. the snail creeps
from his retreat when succulent
leaves and soft fruits are available.
Strolling along, his horns-or, to
be exact, the eye stalks-are
stretched to their limit; at their base
there are feelers which continually
test the nature Of the surface upon
which the snail is travelling. If the
snail wishes to- get better view, he
stands upon the tip of his tail and
reaches up. If there is something
he can take hold of, so much the
better-and up he goes!
You should see how he cocks one
eye-stalk in one direction while the
other one takes in another part of
the landscape. Should anything
touch the shell, the eyes drop down
into the stalk casing, where they are
perfectly safe.
When the snail locates a Juicy to-
mato, he lefts himself on his front
toe so he can, without trouble, bury
his face after his sharp yellow teeth
have cut into the skin and the round
tongue has popped back and forth a
sufficient number OF times to make
place for them to cut deeper. The
snail has atrocious table manners.
There are right and left spiralled
snails. The direction varies accord
ing to species. In the very center Of
the snail, you will see a tiny pore.
This is how the snail gets fresh air
for his lung.
Snail eggs are about the size of
small pea and are covered by soft
transparent shells. They are placed
under something damp, like decay
ing leaves. The baby snail has one
spiral to its shell. AS 1t grows, 1t
adds spirals or layers on the rim or
lip about the opening The skin of
the snail resembles that of an al
ligator and its pebbled surface pro-
hibits any insect, no matter how de-
termined, from entering the home.

whose senescence is enlivened by a
broad burlesque of his old self.
BARRYMORE has been playing that
part for several years in the movies,
but it is doubtful that he ever
played it with more snorting and
gesticulating Zest than on this oc-
casion. Collaborating energetlcally
with him, as is her wont, is Lupe
Velez, who plays vituperatlve siren
with more violence than Barrymore
oets into his carricature. The
movies have not kidded themselves
more agreeably in many a month.
The rough, very rough, idea OF
"Playmates" is that couple OF
desperate press agents get their
heads together and figure out what
a swell stunt it would be to get
Kyser to study Shakespearean act
ing under Barrymore. 1t is a swell
stunt, all right, save for the TACT
that Kyser doesn't want to study
Shakespeare and Barrymore is out
ragged at the notion that the bard
should be desecrated by a blfocal
pumpkin who has grown rich tear
ing the ears off the public.
From that point the story bounds
along through one unsurpriSlng
situation after another until it gets
to Miss VeleZ. You have almost for

Garden Snail

Too often you may have heard the
expression, "a snail's pace" and paid
little heed to it. Actually, the snail
has the most wonderful method of
locomotion ever perfected by any
animal.
This year, many new gardeners
will meet the garden snail for the
first time. They NAV take the loss
Of fruit or tomatoes with better grace
If they know something about this
dweller in their garden.
A snail has but one foot This is
the entire lower side of its body.
When the snail wishes to climb up
the side Of pane of glass, it merely
stretches out this foot and holds
fast. The flanges along the sides
secrete a sticky substance that has
adhesive qualities which enable it
to maintain new positions. If it

best feature, as he should be, of
course. Mr.. Long is that compare
lively rare fellow, a southpaw vio-
linist, but the fact that he plays
from the wrong side implies no lack
of merit. His medley, including
The Old Refrain" Somebody

nicely devised group to show that
he is no mere craftsman on the in

The emphasis Of Longs program
is upon the Immediately popular in

A snail is never in a hurry. The
slow, even pushing forward Of the
entire body, weighted as it is by the
unbalanced shell, makes it appear to
flow forward. If a too inquisitive
foe interrupts this stroll. the foot
is folded lengthwise and the end on
which the head is located retires
first into the shell. The tail end. or
the foot, is last to disappear. The
"juggleT may be picked up or tossed
into the bushes without injury.
This humble little tramp of the
garden can lead an independent
existence. Its trailer home is en-
larged to suit the size of the oc-
cupant and when winter comes, the
snail closes this home by a door, or
doors, with a mucous which he man.
